What Was He About To...?

Shupple

"Um.... Shupple...." Mear began. "I.... I’m glad...” he answered knowing that was not the word of choice that had initially come to mind. “Maybe....” Mear’s voice trailed off again, and instead, he looked up at the skyline, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. “Maybe we can be....” And he trailed off again.

My eyes were directly on him, which made me feel happy that he replied in such context which made my heart skip a beat. Soon, we were walking beside each other along side the river's edge silently, I only a few inches away from him. I couldn't help but wonder what he was going to continue in his sentence. It made me wonder if he was going to say a couple or boyfriend or girlfriend, or something along those lines. My mind couldn't help but wander along of what he was going to say, and what was going to happen next.

Noticing that Mear was looking at me, I looked back, my face a complete crimson red, and nervously, we looked away and off in the other direction. And soon, we were walking again and my mind drifted off into my thoughts once more.

In my own thoughts, I didn't even notice Mear wasn't beside me anymore, which made me stop in my tracks. I turned back to him and I saw he was smiling.

“....Mear?” I wondered over to him, wondering why he had stopped. Was something wrong? It didn't seem something was wrong.... but that was just what I had hoped.

It took a second for him to respond, but instead Mear lifted his empty hand to me, and I blushed bright red for only a second, realizing what he meant silently, and took his hand, smiling. My heart pounded a little harder as we walked along the quiet edge of the lake, hand in hand.

I couldn't help but smile under my hood and look over at Mear, who I noticed was blushing too and looking at me with the same smile on his face, both of our faces bright red.

"So.... um.... what happens next?" I asked quietly and he did a small shrug, because we both probably didn't know what to do.

"I.... I-I don't know...." Mear left off and I smiled a little from that.

"Neither... neither do I," I told him and we both laughed a little before I noticed it was starting to become a little bit hotter, which I was fine with, and that it was almost lunch time.

"Um.... Do you want to go get lunch, Mear?" I asked him quietly and he smiled.

"O-Okay..." He told me and he led me over to the mansion and we both entered the building and went to the second floor's kitchen.

I got a small plate of food and with Mear, who got a small plate of food too, we headed to an empty, quiet table and just ate a little bit, bit by bit. Feeling a breeze enter the cool building, I saw something flutter into the house with the breeze and I noticed it was a flyer.

I quietly used Shadow Sneak and got the paper that was in mid-air and placed it in front of me so that Mear could see it too. It looked like a flyer for a festival over in the closest town over.

"Looks like a Spring Festival....." I left off, wondering if the rest of the mansion knew about the Spring Festival... and if Mear was going to ask me...

What is this place?

I looked at the piece of paper Teddy had written on as she took a spoonful of honey and gulped it down.

"A mansion," I told her simply and she rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed with the question.

Well, no shit. I mean, why are there Gijinka here?

I thought about that for a second before answering her, my lips pursed.

"Dunno. It's just safe for us here. Not a lot of these, ya know?" I told her, since it was basically what this place was.

It was technically a haven full of Gijinkas.... Come to think of it, she's only seen male Gijinkas like me in this place.... When I looked up from my thoughts, I noticed she had dropped her spoon on the table and quickly stood up... Oh, crap. I think she just realized that she has only seen male Gijinkas in this place.... Perfect.

"Are you okay?" I asked, just a little worried about her. She quickly wrote bathroom and rushed out of the room.

I just hit my head against the table. Great... She probably thinks I, or the rest of the guys, molested her.... Great.

I just repeatedly hit my head against the table until I told myself to stop and just put my head in my hands.
