Tape Boy

Chapter 3; Call Me Maybe?

"Sero-kun that's dumb!" You laughed from the swing you have sat yourself

"Yeah... Denki and I kinda subtract each others brain cells and do dumb things." Sero chuckled from the slide.end he was sitting on.

You liked the park like this, no little children running around screaming for seemingly no reason. Just a peaceful nostalgic scene brought to life. And not a lot of people went to this park anyways, no weren't sure if it was because not many people knew of its existence or what.

But it's been your own little paradise. One that was constantly drawing you in, almost calling you. While you enjoyed this place you never stayed to long, you had the weird feeling that you could get lost.

But you shared your little slice of off key heaven with Sero, a boy you just recently met. Today to be exact. You didn't know why you did this, but it just felt right to being him here, it's weird. But you trusted him.

"So how did you find this place anyways?" Sero asked standing up from his seat on the slide

"I.." you paused glancing around, "I think I played here a lot when I was a kid... I don't really remember though, like I remember going her a lot, but I don't know why or when. It's like a freaky dejvu kinda deal."

Sero gave you a little but of a confused look but nodded none the less, "you get that sometimes. Like my parents like to bring up things I did that I don't remember doing."

You smiled softly at him. No one has ever tried so hard to relate to you. It put a warm feeling in your heart.

"But this place is really cool either way." Sero added with a grin as he knocked on the wood of the climbing child house.

"Pretty old I think too." You piped up swinging a little to show off the loud squeak of the chains above you

Sero cringed, "yeah I can hear that heh."

You snickered softly and got off the swing, "I've gotten used to it. It's got its old rustic charm."

"Yeah I guess that's true too." Sero rubb ed for the back of his neck as you walked over to him

"But yeah this place is my little world. So please don't tell anyone else." You folded your hands together in a dramatic manner, "Please?"

"(L/n)-Chan I already said I wouldn't!" Sero snickered a little, "I swore on my heart and everything." He did a little x over his chest

"Good cause you better keep it. Or I'll have to rip your face off." You laughed gently grabbing his cheeks, "I don't think it will be hard."

"Yup I swore on my face too." He laughed pushing your hands from his cheeks

You went to respond again but your phone began to ring from the inner pocket of your jacket. You took it out and checked it and jumped seeing it was your grandmother, or primary caregiver, according to the church.

So you answered it awkwardly go a loud lecture about being late, when you weren't fun fact, and she demanded you come home now.

You sighed and hung up on her and  looked Sero and smiled awkwardly trying to act like he didn't just hear the whole exchange between you and your grandmother.

"So... I have to go.." you chuckled

Yeah... I kinda heard it." Sero chuckled, "go home before you grandma pops a fuse."

"But first!" You rummaged through your bag and found a marker

Sero gave you a curious look as you rolled up his sleeve and wrote down something. You bid your friend a good by and jogged away.

Sero took a chance to look at his arm and fist pumped the air for victory. The cute blue marker on his arm read; "xxx-xxx-xxxx call me maybe? -(l/n)-chan."
