[Based off of Ep. 82 of The Moomins]

Today was supposed to be a beautiful and wonderful day. Moominpapa and Moominmama were going to a marriage ceremony over the mountains of Moominvalley. Only meaning that Moomin, Snorkmaiden, Sniff, Little My, Snufkin and Y/n to have the Moomin house for their own.

This also meant that these kids were pleased to do anything as they wished, and they did. They all headed to the river to have some fun.

It was all fun and games till an old woman came by, looking oddly similar as The Hemulen. She had scolded each one of them for playing in so called dangerous river. It was funny since it was actually very shallow.

Okay it fine, she stopped them from having fun but that didn't mean she would do it again right?

"And now you'll lead me to your home!"

Well not after hearing those words...

It was scary now for Y/n, Aunt Hemulen kept on scolding and scolding throughout the day when the kids cleaned. It intimidated Y/n greatly, she was very sensitive when it came to loud and mean yelling. Everybody knew it as well (expect for Aunt Hemulen obviously).

It was most likely why Snufkin did his best to get her out of trouble. Whenever she accidentally messed up on something he did something worse to distract Aunt Hemulen and verbally punish him instead of her.

Everyone thought Snufkin was just trying to be a good friend and help her, not knowing the full truth of his little heroic deeds.

It was now dark, Y/n, Moomin, Sniff and Little My sat on the small couch near the kitchen. Aunt Hemulen and Snorkmaiden were currently cooking dinner. Snufkin was out getting water due to Aunt Hemulen's commands.

Y/n was in her little thought bubble while her friends talked. Thinking on how she wanted to be less sensitive, and thinking about how Snufkin wouldn't have to do so much for her. She also gave herself a reminder to privately thank him later, as well as noticing how her heartbeat quickened when she thought of him.

However her thoughts were stopped by hearing Aunt Hemulen questioning Snorkmaiden,

"What do you have on your ankle?"

A sad sigh departed from the small girl before answering,

"An anklet."

Oh I thought like this at all, Y/n thought getting up from the couch and peaking through the door way to see the situation unfold.

Poor Snorkmaiden, she thought as she saw her friend being scolding by the mean woman.

Oh if I wasn't so afraid I would-

"I think the anklet is beautiful."

For the second time of the night her thoughts were interrupted, luckily it was Snufkin who was ready to protect their friend.

Aunt Hemulen had given him a glare as she stared at his everyday attire. It was noticable that Snufkin looked at his clothing as well.

The next thing you know Aunt Hemulen is scolding him.

"Your clothes needs to be patched, and I doubt they have ever been ironed either!"

Your attitude needs to get patched up, she thought, Aunt Hemulen had no right to be so mean to someone for their looks and choices.

Y/n had also noticed Sniff was behind her, watching the scene as well.

"How do you think you're going to get a good lady with those looks?"

Quickly taking notice, Y/n, Snorkmaiden, and Sniff saw how affected he felt by those words.

His face was flushed pink, then he had noticed the h/c girl by the door way. He had quickly looked down, as he were ashamed.

That night Y/n felt a piece of her heart break.

Sniff had quickly noticed that Aunt Hemulen was turning her head to their direction, grabbing the girl back to the dinning room before she could see them.

"This sucks." Y/n said in pain. Her friends on the couch had knowledge her words in agreement, especially Little My.

"Am sorry but am leaving," Snufkin said walking into the dinning room and was heading to the door that lead to freedom from Aunt Hemulen.

"Wait, Snufkin! Don't leave!" Moomin pleaded his close friend.

"Don't be upset Moomin, it's just that Aunt Hemulen is such a nuisance." He replied, not daring to look back.

"Dinners ready!" Aunt Hemulen yelled from the kitchen catching everyone's attention,

"Moomintroll! Did you set up the table?"

"Yes Aunt-"

Moomin stopped himself as he heard the door shut.

He left.

"Snufkin..." Moomin mumbled sadly. Everyone's mood dropped.

However, Y/n was having none of that.

"Y/n! Where are going?!" Moomin questioned as she quickly left the Moominhouse to catch up to Snufkin.

Once she heard his harmonica play in the cold night she called out to him.

"Snufkin wait!"

His song quickly came to a stop after hearing her. She took this as a chance to run towards him.

"This would have never happened if I just kept my mouth shut." Y/n said as they sat next to the flowing river. It was true, it was her idea to go out and play in the shallow waters.

"No it's not," Snufkin replied in attempt to disappear her guilt.

"None of us would have known about Aunt Hemulen's appearance, including you."

She turned her head from river to see Snufkin suddenly sitting close to her, almost terrifying her out of her wits.

"I know but that could have been so avoidable!" She replied, looking away from his heavy stare.

"We could have had a fun day! With no Aunt Hemulen scolding us, no, scolding you!"

She felt her face heating up as Snufkin wrapped an arm around the girl, pulling her close to him.

"I appreciate on how much you care for me Y/n," He said in the gentlest tone could use,

"Thank you."

She turned her head to stare at the boy next to her, hoping that she didn't look like a blushing freak.

"You're welco-mhp!" Just before she could finish his lips shushed her.

The kiss was quick, but it felt so nice and unforgettable. Y/n was feeling a total cloud nine throughout body, it seem like Snufkin was same seeing how smiley he was staring at her.

"SNUFKIN! Y/N!" A booming voice yelled out for the two, a familiar voice....

It was Aunt Hemulen, the two had quickly scooted away from each other before she saw.

Luckily Y/n had time to say something to the green clothed mumrik.

"Thank you, Snufkin. You're an amazing person."

Snufkin wore a big smile throughout the week after that.
