Too Much To Ask - Snufmin

Fidelity Check

"I am terrified"
"Of what?"
"I presume I'm afraid that we will spend more and more time together"

Snufkin wiped away a tear that rolled down his cheek.

"I'm troubled about being committed and grow dependent on you"

Moomintroll paid interest to every utterance that was pronounced, nodding with a reassuring smile.
The great marshmallow deposited his paws on his best friend's cheeks, brushing them with his thumbs just like the mumrik did to the troll a period ago.

"I will always be here for you, Snufkin. I understand that you prefer some alone time"

The two of them gazed at one another with tenderness and affection.

"I realize that you need time to hurt and heal. I can honor that"

Snufkin blinked away another dear drop with a soft smile.

Moomin occurred to be so innocent and sincere.

The Mumrik saw this as a sign.

He nodded, snatching his best buddy near.

Clouds hastily shaped in the atmosphere, coating the sky and the sunbeams.

"Oh, perhaps we should get going"
Moomin had already arisen from the field.

"Just a moment" The mumrik glimmered as the first limited raindrops hit his pale skin.

Moomintroll struggled to pick up Snufkins bag but managed. He positioned it on his back as his legs folded.
The rain hit both of them without a warning and Moomintroll let out a yawp.

"S-Snufkin! Come on!"
The white-furred boy clutched his friend's hand, yanking him inside.

The two of them glimpsed at each other with a flush as Moomin kept Snufkin near. He giggled before falling over, head first to the ground thanks to the enormous backpack.

Snufkin enclosed his mouth using his hand, laughing light-heartedly.

Moomin got a helping hand from his guest who came across as far more entertained.
"Is it too heavy for you, Moomin?"
"No of course not! I tripped" The sugar-sweet male fabricated.

"Good evening, dear" Moomintrolls parents approached the two teenagers.
"I will get you some dry clothes" Moominpappa made his way upstairs and grabbed a button-up shirt and a pair of jeans.
Moominmamma smiled at her son.
"And I will get you some towels"
As she turned around and walked over to the restroom, Moomin thanked the two of them!

The two extremely Lovable males burst out giggling, nudging each other playfully.

Later that evening, the two of them decided to go on a walk.

The two of them appeared rather pretentious as they rejected their friend's pleas to come along.

Sniff, Snorkmaiden, and even Little My begged the two of them to uncover their secret - Where were they going?
Snufkin peeked at Moomin with a grin as Moomintroll strived to maintain a straight face, failing miserably!

"Nowhere special!"
"That's right" The mumrik shortly subtracted with a nod. He attempted to maintain a straight face as well but just like Moomintroll, he failed miserably.

"Oh come on! Let me come along, I swear I won't notify anyone where you went!" Sniff got down on his knees. His nosiness certainly got the best of him.

"I'm sorry Sniff. Possibly the two of us can go there on our own later.." The chubby boy glanced at Snufkin as he conversed, awaiting his comeback.

"Oh no, you didn't!" The brown-haired boy huffed dramatically, bumping Moomintrolls shoulder.

"Oh, but what if I did?"

"You're boned, dude!"

Snufkin softly shoved Moomintroll who jogged off, cackling loudly.
His friend came after him, laughing out loud.
"You are a goner, Moomintroll!"

The rest of the friend group was left oblivious as the two boys ran off, lurking behind a tree in case the others followed them.

Moomin kneeled behind the tall tree, giggling softly! The other male kept a lookout.

"Are they observing us?"
"Nah, we should be okay" Snufkin pushed himself back behind the tree, brushing off some dirt that got on his hands.

The marshmallow let out a soft "O-Oh! Let me help you! Your coat is completely covered with leaves and.. Dirt"
It truly wasn't as terrible as Moomin fabricated it to be, which Snufkin knew. He hardly touched the tree after all.

A smile formed and he nodded reassuringly.
"How thoughtful of you. Thank you, Moomin"

Moomintroll wiped Snufkins coat with his paw, pretending to tidy it up.

"Snufkin?"
"Yes, Moomintroll?"
"You're my best friend"

The two of them looked at each other with tenderness and pride.

"Moomintroll?"
"Yes, um, Snufkin?"
"You are absolutely lovely"
