Okay... I've walked forever. I might have gotten lost on the way, and I'm a starving mess. I've eaten every freaking food I snuck out that was stuffed deep into my clothes. All that's left for me is a piece of ketchup packet, tucked deep in my shoe. Had I been eating this whole time? Perhaps it was getting to me. I can't panic now.

There was one thing I knew though... I am far away from home. Or, at least, far away from my town. I don't have a house anymore...

I'm breaking down.. Woods were beside me as the dumbest idea formed it's way into my head. 'Go there.' And I did. Why though? I have an urge to go there. Was something waiting for me? Could it be of help to me? Oh I wish I never left Lukas's house.

I walked

Walked
Walked
Walked.

I was lucky that it was morning... Otherwise it would be a cliché death for me if I went at dusk...

I saw a tall figure standing there. ( Slenderman, that you? XD )

It was unmoving. I watched as it blocked my way...

Then... There was a twig, seemed as if purposely and strategically placed in front of me. I crunched at it, earning a simple twitch from the mysterious form.

It's head lolled to the side. I watched as some lights reflected on it's head. It was wearing glasses, and by the way his blonde hair shined just above his neck, it was a male.

He finally noticed my presence as his huge legs stomped its way over. I just stood there, frozen. Shaking like a chihuahua, he stopped. His huge gloved hand placed itself on my shoulder. It was quite heavy.

He leaned his head closer, to the light shining just on me. He was revealed to be Berwald.. Or Sweden.

" What are you doing out here, Y/N? " he asked, with a small chuckle

" I.... Got lost... "

****

After some minutes, I found myself threw on the shoulders of Berwald. He was quick with his movements, it took me a while to realize that he was taking me somewhere. Though it was awkward. I'm not complaining, even if my weight is focused down to my belly and on his broad shoulders, I still relaxed at the thought of being carried than walking miles on my own feet. But then again, it would give him a really hard time? Should I sacrifice my own comfort for his own ease?

" Um.. Mr Sweden? "

I tapped lightly on his back, in which I received a low-pitched hum. Now that I have his attention, I thought of the ways I could probably put my words in. It took me a while, but his patience is as high as a tower. He could wait for hours, before turning his head slightly, to mentally tell me to continue.

" Just call me, Berwald. "

He said blandly, before turning his head back to focus on the trail he was walking in. It took me another minute to process, but I finally got what I needed to say.

" Umm.. Okay, Berwald. Uh, I could just walk. I mean, it would make you walk a lot more easier. "

I fiddled with my fingers on his back. I didn't really know what he was about to say, but maybe I'm bothering him? Or he is kinda unpredictable. I'm getting nervous of what he is about to say though.

All there was while he was walking is a path, some trees, and suspense. A whole lot of it. He didn't really reply that fast. Maybe just taking longer than I did. He never set me down either. He covered a few more distance and finaly gave a sigh.

" Hmm. "

With another little moan, and wrapped an arm around my waist and tugged. He released me from his shoulders as I was set down in front of him. He kneeled at my level, and laid his hands on my lap. He dusted them off as he straightened his posture again. He tilted his head, gesturing me to continue walking.

As we walked for the next 5 minutes, he started to glance at me more and more. After a few more minutes, his walking became slower and he leaned closer to me. He left quite a few space between us. I have no idea what he was doing but I shrugged it off.

Then, out of the blue. I felt his gloved hand graze mine. I jumped mentally at the slight contact. It made my hand feel fuzzy. It made my insides tingle. It made my face heat up.

How could a single physical contact trigger these things? But still, this IS Berwald. My impression of him; Truly unpredictable.

My thoughts have been interrupted completely as his hand grasped mine.

He clutched my hands tightly, as if he didn't ever want to let me go. It made the butterflies dance in my stomach more, as I felt the heat all up in my face. This is quite enjoyable. The feeling is so great that I could contain it to myself. I squealed quietly beside Berwald. Which earned me a quick glance from him.

" Are you afraid, Y/N? There won't be 'nything that could harm you. "

He hand, which was held tightly over mine, let go and let some cold air hit it. Damn, his hand was warm. And that arm snaked over to my shoulders. Pulling me closer to his built chest. My face was mushed up on his warm chest as I could feel his steady heart beats.

This was all too sudden. Am I developing feelings for him?! Yeah sure I have my freedom, but it doesn't feel right. It's like the feeling of when someone you like, is talking to you romantically, but his intents are just to be friends. Like the feeling of doing a successful prank but feeling guilty later on. Like having the time of your life over at the friends house, then remembering you have a ton of work due tomorrow. That feeling is quiet un describable.

I got worked up on all these emotions as I slowly found my eyelids shutting down on me. Groggily, I walked with my eyes shut.
