Raddish Boy

Here Take a Bite

"Beam's POV"

I was following Forth wherever he goes. I did not want to be left alone. His brothers might be somewhere around the house, waiting for a chance to attack me again.

He went inside a room. It was all clean and tidy. The bed looked warm and cozy. The wall was painted blue with posters of different breeds of dogs. I looked around and saw construction toys properly sitting at the corner of the room. Books and magazines and anime comics all separated per shelf in ascending manner based on the chapter. Clothes were folded neatly and arranged by color. The room had a cool breeze in it with a scent of something earthy. It was very different from that first room where Forth's brothers brought me into. That room was stinky and very messy.

"Hey Beam. Can you loosen up your grip from me? I need to change clothes." Forth said facing me.

I did not realize that I was still tugging his uniform. I freed him then he pointed on the bed.

"You can sit there first. You don't have to worry. This is my room. My brothers aren't anywhere nearby." Forth said assuring my safety.

He began undressing and removing his school uniform. His skin tone was darker telling me that he must be spending most of his time outdoors. I can see that even at 10 years old he's leaner than average kids his age. He told me before that he helps his dad in the auto shop to earn extra savings. He must be carrying heavy tools and spare parts.

Just when he's about to change his pants, he looked at me. He must have noticed that I was staring at him.

"Uhmmm.. Beam?... Can you turn around first?" He was blushing.

I couldn't help it. I started blushing too. What am I thinking. He's undressing and my gaze was fixed to him. I turned around and focused my sight on the wall. 'He must be fund of dogs', I thougt to myself. He has a lot of posters of different breeds. Most of it were bigger dogs and one or two cute furballs. I remembered when I was still living in the province, aside from the growing a vegetable garden, I used to befriend animals in the forest. There was once a  family of rabbit that I've been visting to bring them food. And I was able to watch a mother hen hatching 5 newborn chicks and observed them as they grow.

"Beam. I'm done. Let's go." I looked at him and saw that he's wearing a blue tank top and grey jersey shorts. Even his legs had muscles. He must be very active in sports. He was way beyond me. I look pale and fragile. My frame can be blown away by a simple gust of wind.

"Beam! Quit dazing. Im hungry. Lets go to the kitchen." With that we left his room and I took a final sniff to remember the earthy scent.
