He started to get worried when he saw her face going red and swollening from blood pressure. He frowns a bit not knowing what to do about it.

"Is there something wrong?"

She asks with other cookies filling her mouth.

"Your face is bright red and your forehead vein is popping pretty hard, I really like the vibe of a 'savage tree girl' but I don't want you to die upside down like this..."

She clicks a laugh out of her lips.

"I'm actually used to be like that, but after being hang up for more than 2 hours because I didn't know what to do while waiting for you"

His eyes widen by the amount of time she spent behing upside down. He quickly put his hand under her shoulder to push them upward, that makes her laugh terribly of his action. Pushing her body upward made her swing off the branch, he quickly catches the rest of her body with his shoulder, holding her like a potato bag.

"ARGH LEFIE PUT ME DOWN"

He couldn't stop laughing, the nickname was warming his heart even more. He put one hand on her waist to tickle her, making her shaking of laughters.

"STOP IT... AAH"

"HAHA YOU'RE SENSIBLE"

"PUT ME DOWN UGH!!"

Suddenly, as she tried to regain the ground, he trips over falling on his back. The most touching fact of it is that he actually gathered his arms around her in a protecting embrace, as a reflex.

Did he just proctect me??

They slowly process what just happened. He slowly untighten his grip around her. She was on top of him on his chest, laying down, her ear close to his heart, she could hear how fast it was beating.

She tilts her head slowly back up, looking at him, her heart was beating the same way.

"I'm sorry..."

"Mhm it's okay"

She smiled, before she had an instant of... doubt?

I want to lay down here again... but am I allowed.

After some long seconds of thoughts, she slowly regained her position, her head resting calmly on his chest.

What? Wait she stays here?

His heart beats even faster now, which makes her smile. As he realize how close they were, he rises his upper body to rest on one of his arm, the other one analysing what was laying on his body.

What's that... warming feeling... I cannot stop looking at that view, the way she peacefully rests here, she looks so... free and peaceful.

With his free arm, he tucked a hair behind her ear, with the most sweetness on his hand, he was healing just seeing the serenity that was spreading in the air as if it was escaping from her nose by each of her breaths. He felt a quick tear trail down along his cheek, he felt loved because being that confortable with someone when you're broken like her is... clearly loving someone.


They stood there for about 30 minutes, enjoying the warmth of each other. He was trully blessed by this feeling of love caressing his soul.

My bohemian...

Then she got a boost of happiness as she got up slowly, letting him see sparks in her eyes, she spoke.

"I got to present you to my grandma."

She said smiling as she takes his hand to lift him up.

"Come on! She's probably waiting for us!!"
