47 - Suga

The hidden garden. There were many secrets in that place; some known by little and some unknown. The whole idea of its existence was unknown to many. Expect you, who literally stumbled upon it on a rainy day. And it has brought you back to it since, blinded by its beauty. It was not the only beautiful thing, but the creatures there as well. Pixies and elves lived in Oak Trees, while tiny animals roamed the grass. And although you were too big to feel a part of something so... small; they made you feel at home. Especially one little elf.

He wasn't the type to talk much, more so of playful gestures. Although he was small, he could always make a smile appear on your face in times of doubt. Out of all the tiny creatures within that garden, he was your favorite. And he sensed it as well as felt the same. Your little friend ship was your secret, something that would be kept inside the garden. However, after a while you stopped appearing in the garden. All the creatures felt the loss of your presence, but the little elf you called "Suga"; felt it more. And as the days went by, Suga became curious as to what had happened to you. With so much curiosity, he dared himself to step out of the garden. And he did.

Following your faint scent, he came upon a house. Your house. He climbed up to the window and peeked inside. The room looked somewhat empty, until he came upon a figure. A familiar figure, who happened to be laying down in the bed in a deep slumber. Slipping through the open window, the small elf trotted over to your spot in the bed. Your face was red as a tomato, and you were covered in blankets; a cup of tea settled on your nightstand. It dawned on Suga that you were ill, giving an explanation to your missing appearance in the garden. Willing all the power he had in his small body, he walked over to you and kissed your forehead. Heat washed over him as his cheeks became a tint of red. He jumped off the bed, hiding himself behind the nightstand. Slowly, your eyes began to flutter and you began to sit up, tossing back the covers. You wore nothing but an oversized t-shirt with your hair tied back; drenched in a sickening sweat. Your swung your legs over the bed and stretched, memories slowly coming back to you.

"I must have caught a really bad cold." You rose a hand up to your forehead, surprised to find the area cold. "Hmm. I wonder how it went away?" Suga then stepped from behind the stand and ran over to you; pushing at your ankle slightly. You looked down and smiled at the familiar friend, who was smiling back up at you. "You did this huh?" You said and picked him up. "Thank you." You brought him close to your face and gave him a kiss on the head. In an instant, Suga began to grow; slipping out of your hand and onto your bedroom floor. You stood up, curious as to what was happening to your little friend. Suga suddenly came eye to eye with you, his head titled slightly to look at you.

"Yes, yes I did. And.. You're quite welcome."
