Once Upon a Time... I stepped into the wrong Fairytale

Chapter 3: Friend like me

"Soraru-saaaaan, how long are we going to keep walking until we arrive?", an albino asked as the older male sighed.

"I don't know... I think about one more day?", the raven-haired male asked. "Eh?! Why does it take so long?!", Mafumafu asked shocked as the other shrugged. "I don't know, I didn't choose the distance of this. Now stop complaining and keep walking.", Soraru told the younger male who sighed but nodded as he continued walking.

As they were walking, the older male noticed how the albino needed some time to keep up, slowing down once in a while before speeding up his pace to keep up with the raven-haired male.

This continued for a few more minutes until the raven-haired male had enough, stopping as he turned to look at the younger male.

"Alright, Alice. We'll go and find a place to stay the night. You are clearly not keeping up so we'll stop for today.", Soraru said as the younger male looked at him before nodding.

"Alright. Do you have a place where we can camp for the night?", Mafumafu asked as the older male looked at him as if he just said something stupid.

"Camp? We won't camp. We are not in the forest anymore so why should I camp willingly. We are going to find some place which has some open rooms.", Soraru said as he looked around before spotting an inn, walking towards it, the albino following him.

"But how are we going to get one? I don't have any money on me...", Mafumafu said as he looked down, the older male sighing as he entered the inn, urging for the albino to step inside.

"Yeah, but I have things on me which we can exchange. And I promised Kagami to bring you to Wonderland so I won't let you get killed by staying outside. Now be quiet so I can get us a room.", Soraru said as he walked up to the counter, taking his hood down for the first time ever since the two of them met as Mafumafu widened his eyes at the appearance.

Soraru was indeed handsome with his bright blue eyes and his dark raven hair which looked fluffy which contrasted a lot to his skin.

The only thing that Mafumafu thought, was a bit a shame was the raven-haired male's expression which didn't show any warmth nor happiness in them.

It quickly changed though as soon as he reached the counter where a smile settled on his face. "Excuse me, miss. Do you perhaps have a free room? Me and my companion have been traveling for some time and, if possible, would like to spend the night here.", Soraru said as the receptionist blushed before quickly nodding.

"A-ah, yes! We have a room with two beds.", the girl answered as the raven-haired male nodded. "That's great. How much for one night?", Soraru asked. "O-one night would be two silver coins!", she replied, taking one key from the drawer behind her and handing it over to Soraru who nodded once again before pulling out the right amount of money and placing them on the table.

"Thank you. Have a nice night then.", Soraru told her before taking the keys and walking ahead, the albino quickly bowing at the woman, who was still gushing about the Evil Queen, before following the raven-haired male.

As soon as they reached their room and closed the door, Soraru let out a loud sigh, his smile falling immediately again.

"Being nice is so tiring.", the raven-haired male complained as he took his hood off which he had been wearing this entire time, revealing what he was wearing underneath which was just a simple black shirt and some pants.

"Why would you pretend to be nice then? If you think it is such a bother.", Mafumafu added as he walked to one of the beds, throwing himself onto it.

"Huh? If I'm nice, I can reach more things than I would if I am mean. Of course, I am only being nice to people where I think it's gonna give me some sort of benefit.", Soraru answered.
