What Are You? - Ohmtoonz Fanfiction

Mini Man (16)

So...which direction was it again? I scanned my unfamiliar surroundings again before staring at the house I had just came from. I may have taken a small detour when I saw an open window.

Apparently, humans don't like it when you sneak in through a window to ask for directions. It was a lady with a guy sleeping. I tapped their shoulders and they threatened me! Well, the lady screamed, and the guy grabbed a baseball bat that was conveniently placed right next to his bed. I decided then was the time to leave.

Actually, I ran.

Okay not going to lie I didn't actually think that was going to work. I just thought it would be fucking hilarious to see their faces. 

It was and it was worth it.

But yes, I am lost. I've been lost for a few hours, just kind of walking around looking for a house on a hill. I was hoping there would be a sign somewhere that said LUKE LIVES HERE but there wasn't. The town is small of course so it shouldn't be that hard to find especially since I know the what it looks like but somehow, I'm still lost.

"This fuckin blows." I rubbed the top of my head and sighed. I just wove through neighborhood after neighborhood of houses. I have to admit, it was weird being up here. So many things were...alive. Instead of flames lighting the world there is bulbs and lamps. Humans made so many weird things for their convenience. I kept walking forward, not really paying attention to my surroundings anymore. I was pulled back into attention when I heard a small sniffle come from out in front of me. 

I instantly put up my guard and glared towards the noise. I saw a boy sitting on a porch with his head in his hands. He looked like he had been there for a while. There wasn't anything in the driveway and the only light coming from that certain house was a light in a window on the second floor. Anyone else walking past probably wouldn't even notice the boy. I put my hands into my pockets and walked straight up. This could be interesting... 

I sat down in front of him and crossed my legs. He stopped sniffling and rubbed at his eyes. When he glanced back up he jumped back in surprise. I propped my head up on my hand with a bored look on my face. 

"Uh..." He stared at me with wide eyes. I relaxed my shoulders and turned to stare up at the sky.

"You guys are lucky to have so many pretty things above your heads." I said. The boy stared up with me and let out a shaky breath. "You guys are so ungrateful." I waved my hand at him. "How can you be sad when you have so much up here?" He moved his head towards me again and gave me a confused look. "Oh yeah, you don't get it. I forgot." I stood up and cracked my back. It was then that I noticed our height difference. He was rather short. I smiled. "I've been walking for way too long. I guess it was nice seeing someone outside."

"I'm sorry, do I know who you are?" He asked. "It's not everyday someone random just walks up to me and sits down."

"Nah. I'm just a little lost shorty." I responded. He stood up and crossed his arms.

"Do you just go up to every crying person you see and talk all crazy like?" I lifted my brows. "And I'm not short. You're just overly tall."

"I think you're the crazy one, tiny. I'm just looking for my friend's house." I began to walk away from his house only to feel him grab my sleeve.

"Hey wait!" He apologized quietly and retracted his hand when I turned to look at him. "I might be able to help is all. What is your friend's name?" I narrowed my eyes at him but still appreciated him trying...I guess.

"Luke. I'm looking for Luke." I told him. "He's a big dude in high school here." His eyes lit up and he flashed a smile.

"Oh Luke! Yes, I know him. I could point you in the right direction of his house. My friend Ryan gave me the directions a few days ago." He pulled out his phone and scrolled for a few minutes.
