The Ghost of the Past (OhmFluke AU Fanfiction)

Fluke's Memories Part II - IX

Fluke has found a friend in Boston. The small child and him always played at the garden whenever they visit the garden. On top of that, another being visited the garden and he made friends with him. He is a forest fairy that is called, Earth.

"Look at this place! Amazing! The plants and flowers are well loved and healthy! Hello to all of you!"

"Hello to you too!" The tiny being got surprised and tried to hide behind a flower at the sudden voice. "Don't be afraid! My name is Fluke and I live here. I will gladly pass the compliment to the person who kept the garden well loved and healthy!"

Cautiously peeking at the translucent person, the fairy slowly flew near his face, scrutinizing him. "My name is Earth. I live at the forest with all the other fairies. You are a..."

"I know! I am a ghost!" Fluke brightly replied. "And I have been living here since I woke up! Well, more of I was chosen to guard this place until the owner comes back for his monthly visit."

"Do you mean you are the only person in this house?" Earth asked, circling the ghost. "You seemed happy to be given that task. That's good for you because sometimes I don't like doing my tasks!"

"Oh! Is it hard? Then you must not force yourself and rest!" Fluke replied, feeling concerned and worried for the tiny being.

The small fairy giggled at him and told him. "I like you! Let us be friends!"

"Hello, Earth! You should have come sooner! Tayn and Bosston were around earlier!"

"I was busy today. Kao was supervising me and won't allow me to visit you until I finish all my task." Earth whined, sitting on the palm that Fluke offered.

"Oh! So you have enjoyed your day too!"

"No, I did not!" Earth replied, but his light is turning pink. Fluke giggled seeing that.

Tayn has warned him before that he is not allowed to go out of the house's area and told him he is only safe within the area but not outside the gate. At first, he didn't understand why. But when he tried going out of the gate, he suddenly felt pain all around his body, like something is trying to pull him back inside.

Writhing in pain and heaving, Fluke stepped back twice and was suddenly transported inside the house. He fell unconscious on the ground. When he woke up, he felt that he had forgotten something.

When Tayn came back for a visit, he has to reintroduce himself to the younger again. And it took some time for Fluke to remember who he was. Even with Bosston and Earth, they have to reintroduce themselves to him.

"Sir Fluke, I know you do not remember, but please hear me."

"What is it Tayn?" Fluke replied, standing in front of the person who stopped at the door of the house. "Come inside. Do not think that I have not noticed how you have not set foot inside the house yet."

"I..." Tayn said, averting his eyes from Fluke to the stairs. "I just want to say I am sorry for everything... for only taking things from you, and not being able to give back. I have always, always, always regret not being able to give back the love, the time, and attention you have given us... I have always regret not being able to be there for you... to help you when you need help." Tayn's voice broke at the end, a tear escaping the confide of his eyes.

"It was no one's fault." Fluke murmured, sudden recognition on his eyes as he looked at Tayn. "And I never even thought any of you have abused my kindness." He added. Tayn slowly turned to look at him when he heard that. "I give love without expecting something in return from the three of you. I am sorry if I ever let you feel that you need to give back to me too."
