Dysfunctional family

"Hmp! Hmp! Hmp-" in a forest, a child, no older than 6. Lifting weights, passing animals nearby stopped to look and shiver in fear at the ridiculous scene.

Mash continues to lift weights with little effort, when a sudden tremor and a loud bang ring out. Scaring away the animals that stopped to look at Mash, sensing danger.

"..."

Mash could see little debris that flew to his way, birds flying out of trees to evade the unknown danger. "Should I go check it out..?" He asked himself. He glances towards the direction where his house was at, before glancing back at the source of the noise. "Pops wouldn't mind.."

{•••}

The child panted, pink bangs sticking slightly on his forehead due to his sweat. His round pink eyes staring at the massive crater that was just made. The surrounding trees absolutely destroyed. His grip on his wand slackened.

"Hey-.." his head snapped to the direction of the voice, finding a boy that looked almost the same age as him. "You know that's bad for the environment right.."

Domina's brow furrow, 'who is this.. weirdo' the pink haired thought.

"It's none of your business, leave" Domina glares, not wanting to waste his magic on someone.

"What's your name?" The mushroom head asked. "Are you deaf?" Domina grits out.

Deciding he has enough, he flicked his wand. Mumbling something. Mash almost didn't dodge a spell, it's speed almost bullet-like.

"Hey, that's not nice.."

"I don't care, die!.."

Domina continues to cast out barrages of spells towards him. This battle was taking longer than he would admit it..

'how is he surviving..? He doesn't even have a mark.' the pink haired child felt a sweat trail down his cheek. The more time passes, the more he felt himself grow exhausted. Even still, Mash didn't attack him.

Domina felt his mouth grow dry, and the exhaustion seeping in. Without much choice he stopped.

"Are you done now..?" Mash stared at Domina, who in return glares at him.

"Leave me alone..!"

"I don't want to"

"Why?!"

"I want to be friends.."

"..."

Domina blinks owlishly, "I just tried to kill you.. and you want us to be friends..?" Mash nods, "you looked sad, so I thought why don't we play?"

Domina was stunned to say the least, but the idea of playing with someone was foreign to him. Even the concept of friendship did he not understand. But he found himself now getting dragged off to who knows where by the mushroom head.

"Then let's go on adventure"

Domina stared at their intertwined hands, feeling warmth radiating from his. His feet automatically try to catch up on the black-haired boy's.
