The Garden That We Made

[2]

Yes, there I stood, aggressively staring at the fuming rage of the bully. Except, it wasn't me; I would've ran out by then.

The almost twin-like male ran to me and plucked me off the ground as if I were a pinch of salt, and started running to the door. Shouts raised from behind us, as I got on my own feet and ran behind my saviour. A few minutes later, we had lost them, and we were puffing and panting as I slowed to a halt. I bent over on my knees, clearly tired.

I stood up and breathed in a large amount of adore as I looked at my surroundings. The place wad totally unfamiliar; the houses that lined each side do the street had some sort of activity going on, add there were sounds of laughter, music, and children. We had stopped in front of an empty lot of grass, with a big tree in the dead middle of it. It was very green and bushy, and I couldn't help but stare at it a little.

"Ahem."

He jolted me put of my thoughts, making me instantly jolt up with my hands absent-mindedly raise up to my chest.

"Are you alright? You seem pretty beat." He said. He dusted some dirt off of his pants then outstretched his hand.

"Um...hi." I waved a little awkwardly. I clearly don't like touching.

"Oh right! Haha! You don't like touching! How could I forget?" He said, laughing.

"So,Kagamine Len, want to come inside for a bit before you go home? I should at least get you some tea--"

I cut him off with a stare.

"How do you... how do you know my name? And my full name, at that?!" I said below a whisper.

"Huh? You're saying you don't know me? I'm in the class right next to you! 2B!"

"Um...well...okay?" I said.

He laughed again. "Ah, right! You should come inside!" He said and walked towards the tree. Now that I hear him clearly, he has an Italian accent on his voice; almost naturally. His voice was also high and fragile, but strong and brave.

Following him quietly, I stopped when he walked around to the other side of the tree. I thought he was going to pee, literally.

But then he came back around and said, "Aren't you coming?"

I nodded hesitantly but still walked around the stump and found...A ladder?

He climbs up the ladder first and disappears into the bushy tree as I follow after him. After around half a minute, I see the bottom of a house. Like, boards going across the branches. He goes through a trapdoor and helps me up after him into a well-lit room. It has a comfy and cozy aura, a bed in one corner, a fridge and stove (?!) in the other, and a shower in the next.

This is his home. I'm standing in a stranger's home.
He walks over to the work desk by his bed and plops his bag down on it, then drops onto his bed face first.

"Hey, come here!" He said as he looks up at me and pats part of the bed.

I cautiously sit down on the edge, and he sits up.

"So...I never caught your name?" I say.

"Well okay, mister sexy-French-accent," He gives me a broad smile and laughs a little at what he said.

I give him a stare, making him realise how gay it sounded.

"Don't you know how gay that sounds?" I say quietly.

His laughter stops and he turns red. "I didn't mean it like that! Ahhh! I'm not into you or anything! I was just sayi--"

"Okay, okay! What's your name?!"

"Right!" He sits up and smiles again. "I'm Kagamine Rin!"
