The Playground

"DUST! DUST!", you yelled while running around the room with excitement. You had just heard the mayor built a new playground in the neighborhood on the news. You've never played at a playground, in all of your life (which is pretty sad). You've wanted to play with Dust on a playground, but you haven't been able to.

Dust sleepily came down the stairs and questioned, "What the heck do you want kid?"

You giggled as he picked you up with blue magic. "There's a new playground! I want to go!" you shouted as you smiled with excitement.

Dust sighed while rubbing the bridge of his nose and said, "Can't you ask Blade? Isn't he your adventure buddy or something,"

"But," you said with a frown, "I wanna play with you!" you whined.

Dust was very close to throwing you across the room. You were getting annoying and he hated it. You were once a shy cute four-year-old, but now you're six.

"Can't you ask Skull?" he said while gritting his teeth.

"Skull went to work," you replied.

"Dang it! I forgot this kid knows our work schedules" Dust thought. Dust let out an irritated sigh and uttered, "Go get ready,"

You cheered as Dust gently set you down. You ran to get your Velcro tennis shoes and put them on. It was quite windy in Ebott so Dust made you wear a jacket. You watched Dust as struggled to find his keys, but he eventually found them.

You and Dust were walking on the sidewalk to get to the playground. You kept running up ahead, but Dust made sure you didn't go too far. You got super excited when you saw the playground.

You started tugging on Dust's sleeves to go faster while whining, " Dust! come on you slow poke! You're as slow as a snail!"

After many minutes of tugging, you finally made it to the playground. You were nervous at first, but Dust gave you a small reassuring push towards the playground. You ran towards the playground while Dust sat down on a bench.

While you were playing you noticed a lady approaching Dust. The lady had chestnut-colored hair and was wearing a black dress with a golden vest on top. She looked concerned as she was talking to Dust. You couldn't quite hear what they were talking about though. It's probably boring grownup stuff.

Suddenly you felt someone tap your shoulder which made you flinch in surprise. You turned around to see a boy wearing a buttoned-up blue jacket and jeans. His hair was chestnut, but a little bit darker. He smiled at you with his freckle-filled face.

"Why did you come to the park with a hooded man?" The boy asked.

You gave him a confused look until you realized," Oh! You mean Dust?" You replied.

The boy nodded while asking," Did he kidnap you or is he your dad?"

"Kidnapped? No, I live with him with the rest of my big brothers," you replied smiling happily.

"Ohhhh," the boy said "My mom thought you were kidnapped. She's also the lady talking to your brother." He continued while pointing to his mom.

"I'm Asher, but you can call me Ash," Ash said with a grin.

(Dust's POV)

I was watching the kid play when suddenly a woman approached me. I was confused as I looked at her worried expression.

"H-hello sir," she stuttered," I w-was wondering I-if you know that child that came here w-with y-you," she continued.

I simply nodded, but my lack of words seemed to creep her out more.

"S-si-"

"I know the kid. They live with me and my other housemates," I said irritatedly, as I interrupted her.

I hated how this woman ruined my mood. I grumbled as I got up while yelling," (Y/N)! Come on! We're going home!"

The kid whined as they left the playground. They were just about to grab my hand when the lady grabbed their arm and pulled them away.

"I don't think you should go with that strange man!" the woman shouted.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" I asked in confusion.

I was tired of this woman. I grabbed the lady's arm and forced her arm off the kid. I quickly grabbed (Y/N)'s arm and teleported out of there. The kid was dizzy and confused about what had happened.

I have a lot of explaining to do.

"Look kid, I'll explain later. Right now I'm not in the mood," I said.

Before (Y/N) could say anything I teleported to my room landing on my bed. I let out a long sigh. I need some sleep. The kid will be fine by themselves, right?

(A/N: yellow everyone ^^ I hope y'all are doing and fine!
