prompt: growing up with ekko, growing apart then back together.

"Hun, slow down." Your mom sighs, fingers pinching the bridge of her nose as her daughter was skipping ahead of her. Not even knowing where they were heading. "Sorry mommy!" You giggled, coming to a stop, waiting for your mother to catch up with her slow steps.

"It's alright but what have I said about going ahead of me?" She asks in a stern tone, you jut out your bottom lip. "Not to or else I'll have to hold your hand and be a baby." You sadly answer her question. She hums with a small smile. "Exactly. And you're a big girl." She boops your nose, guiding you towards a store. You pull the heavy door open. Needing to be independent.

"Hey! Illie and her little one!" A man who's on the heftier side announces with a gleeful expression. "Benzo, this is [Name]." Illie lifts you up, showing you off to her old friend. You do a peace sign with a little smile. "Hiii, Benzooo!" You sang out.

"You'll have to meet my little guy." He starts, turning around to what you think is to find him but instead he shouts. "Ekko! Come meet some guests!" Benzo shouts, you scoot down from your mothers hold, wondering who this Ekko boy is. For five years old you were incredibly sassy.

"Who's the guests?" The boy comes out with his head tilted and eyes glimmering with curiosity. "Me!" You point to yourself. "And my mom!" You do jazz hands and your mom knows the drill, doing a little peace sign like you.

Ekko comes out from the counter. "What's your name?" He squints at you suspiciously. "[Name]!" You place your hands on your hips, leaning in and mocking his expression. "What's yours?"

"Ekko, didn't you hear?"

You both glare at one another, stressing the adults out. Pleading that the two of you will like one another. "Friends?" You thrust out a sticky hand, he taps his chin pretending to think before snatching your hand. "Friends." He agrees. Benzo sighs out in relief as Illie smirks, shaking her head at her cheeky daughter.

"C'mon! I gotta show you something cool!" He drags you by your hand that still held his. You almost topple over but somehow manage to keep yourself up. "Ahah! Okay!"

After that meeting you and Ekko pleaded with your guardians to hang out practically every single day that you guys weren't doing anything. Then it grew to Benzo letting you hang out with Ekko while he worked.

Having sleepovers as well.

Two years later you were introduced to Vander and his children.

"[Name] and Ekko! Sitting in a tree!!! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!" Powder sings loudly, dancing around the two others who were plugging their ears dramatically. "First comes love, then comes marriage then comes a baby in a baby carriage!!" She laughs, jumping up and down on the mattress. "Powder!!" You whine out, throwing a pillow at her, hitting her directly in the face.

"Oof!" She stumbles backwards. "Rude!" She throws it back, accidentally getting Ekko who was just sitting there. "Hey!" He frowns, now holding the pillow so nobody throws it. "You two are such a cute couple." Powder goes back to teasing, clasping her hands together and bringing them up to her face.

You stand up with a flushed face. "Shut up, Pow!" You exclaim. She giggles, "okay, okay." Dropping down to sit criss-cross. "Let's play a game."

Powder even got the others to tease the two of you occasionally. Mainly Mylo and Powder were the antagonizers. Violet tried to stand up for you but then she'd give in and follow suit. Claggor was the only one who didn't do anything. But he also didn't stop it. Standing there with a smirk on his face.
