"Please stop crying"

That was all the blonde haired kid could say. He was on his way to the park when he heard muffled sniffles by the flower field near his home. He was headed to the park to meet up with his friends when he heard those cries. At first he thought he was just hearing things but still searched the field just to be sure. And there he saw the most gorgeous human ever. The dark haired kid crying with his knees to his chest puts the flowers surrounding him to shame. He thought who could have made someone this beautiful cry.

"Why are you crying here?" As soon as he said that he grabbed something from his pocket and handed it to the crying kid in front of him and that made him look up. It was a handkerchief with wings embroidery. It looked like a special handkerchief although it was simple, nonetheless, he still took it and wiped his tears. He looked up to the blonde kid smiling at him and he couldn't help but be mesmerized.

"Are you okay?"

The dark haired kid snapped out of his thoughts and quietly nod to answer his questions and to this the latter frowned as he can see he was obviously not alright.

"But why are you crying?"

He was hesitant to answer this but he felt some sort of connection to the kid comforting him so he ended up answering him in a quiet voice, almost a whisper.

"I- I don't like it here... I have no f-friends" He stuttered as his lips still quivered from crying. Thinking the kid would think of him as someone weird and would eventually get up and leave him there, he buried his face in his knees again. A few seconds had passed and he thought the kid already left him but he was shocked when the kid grabbed his face and lifted it up for him to be able to see the smile on the blonde kids face as he uttered the words

"I'll be your friend!"

A few minutes had past after the two seemingly became friends. They were playing with the flowers around them. The blonde kid even made a gorgeous flower crown for his sad friend.

Sitting up straight as if he'd realized something, the dark haired kid tapped the shoulder of his new found friend who was gathering some fallen petals around them and went in to ask a question.

"H-hey... We've been here for a couple of minutes now but I- I still don't know your name..."

The kid said stuttering out some of his words. It struck them they haven't introduced themselves to each other. The latter smiled and was about to answer him when he suddenly felt his cheek become wet. and his hands. and his forehead. 

It was raining.

They both looked up and saw dark clouds covering the sky. The blonde kid looked around and spotted a large tree and pulled his friend to it running. When they got there it rained even more. The tree didn't exactly keep them dry but it helped, somehow. 

"I guess we're stuck here for the meantim---AACK!"

He wasn't able to finish what he was saying as a bolt of lightning came shooting at the sky followed by a loud roar of the thunder. The dark haired kid seemed surprised when his friend suddenly threw himself at him and hid his face on his chest. Seeing his friend afraid of lightning and thunder he couldn't help but hug him tighter.

"I'm here. Don't worry"

The dark haired kid went home with a smile but not after dropping his friend of to where he lived. His smiled disappeared though, the minute he remembered that they forgot to introduce themselves to each other. He brushed of the thought and just waited for tomorrow to happen as he was expecting to see his new friend again.

Tomorrow came but his friend did not.

He waited and waited but nothing. Maybe tomorrow again?

But it was another no show...

Days went on and he never got to see his blonde friend again. He was sad of course. But promised himself he would try and make new friends for him. 

That day at the flower field he had given up hope that he would even make friends ever again because he was always bullied but the blonde angel who played with him gave him hope and would not let this hope go to waste.
