wondering in the forest with just a lantern to light her way lavender began to see that this wasn’t the greatest idea.
she used her lantern to see her path but it didn’t do much the trees surrounding her reaching into the night sky.
reality hit her as she thought of peanut’s words. she is going to see some strangers who she thinks are in the forest she’s not even sure.
her heart is racing thinking of the danger she put herself in, turning around to start home she couldn’t remember where she came from.
her heart rate increased thinking the worst case scenarios. but a noise behind her stopped her she stilled trying to even out her breathing.
suddenly a little bunny appeared in front of her. she got down to it’s level stroking it softly.
“awww you’re so cute.” she said smiling
lavender’s flowery scent made the bunny hop into her lap making her giggle.
she was content for a moment forgetting where she was before she heard a deep growl in the distance.
she froze. her heart in her throat. slowly point her lantern to see the path before her she saw two glowing eyes. wolves.
she heard the paws thumping suddenly toward her as her body screamed for her to run as fast as she could.
her lantern was weakening as her feet crushed leaves and twigs
not too far off milk and yam were by the fire before they both looked up towards the noises coming from their right.
“what was THAT??” yam yelled getting his mace ready.
“i’m not sure..” milk said grabbing his shield
the two see lavender in the distance her body small seeing a dark figure looming over her
rushing towards lavender the pair get a closer look at the snarling wolf getting ready to bite her.
going behind the wolf yam strikes it in the back with his mace causing the wolf to yelp.
pushing off the wolf rushing towards the both of them milk corners it forcing it to flea.
rushing into milk’s arms lavender holds onto him tightly her body filled with adrenaline
“WHAT WERE YOU THINKING GOING INTO THE FOREST ALONE AT NIGHT?” yam yells at her
“i wanted to see if the smoke i saw was coming from you both!!” she said raising her voice a little not liking how yam sounded exactly like peanut
“HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE??” yam yelled back
“i just wanted to see if you guys were safe!!” lavender said getting defensive
watching the pair argue milk got in the middle stopping them both from continuing
“let’s not fight guys what matters is that lavender is safe we’re safe.” he reasoned separating the two
looking at lavender he gently spoke “it’s okay you’re okay,” laughing a little as he continued “we’re even now.”
laughing lightly lavender looked at him with a small smile “yeah we are.”
but lavender’s thoughts begin to creep in peanut is going to be so angry with her for not listening for never listening. they were only trying to keep her safe and she went and put themselves in danger.
“i’m in so much trouble peanut is going to be so mad at me i did it again i got carried away in a fantasy..” lavender rambled on to milk.
holding her gently running a hand along her back “hey.. it’s okay i understand what you’re feeling.” he said soothingly thinking back on the times he acted the same with yam
relaxing in the hug lavender began to feel drowsy her head resting on milk’s shoulder. the adventure of tonight taking a toll on her
putting his shield and mace behind him milk wrapped his arms around lavender bringing her up into his arms
“it’s freezing out here, the fire is big enough for three” he said bringing her close to warm up
lavender could feel the heat rising in the back of her neck in embarrassment being held like a bride but her stomach was a mess of butterflies as her heart did flips
milk’s hold on the flower scented damsel in distress was firm but gentle their eyes having a strong hold but having so much kindness within them
lavender relaxed against the warmth of milk’s body letting her heart slow
yam watched from afar at the pair annoyed and tired as he got warm by the fire. rising he said “night i’m going to sleep. in the morning you’re going back home.” while looking at lavender
the pair bid him good night before settling close by the fire.
“so you really came all the way out here to look for us?” milk said
“well yeah.. i wanted to see you guys again..” lavender said embarrassed by her answer.
milk couldn’t help but giggle saying “you’re crazy you know that?”
laughing along lavender replied “yup i know i’m insane”
“so what do you plan to do when you get back?” milk asked
“ahh well i first gotta handle peanut but after that it’s back to the same routine.” she said sighing
“yup wake up go to work, come home, sell supplies, read, make dinner, go to bed, repeat” she said
“ohhh do you want something different?” he questioned
“yeah i want something thrilling a change you know? that’s so weird because i’m not one who craves big changes..” she said
“i know what you mean but sometimes you don’t need to go right into the big changes you can start small.” milk said
“i don’t even know where to start i mean i wanted to have my own bookstore and look where i am no where near it another goal down the drain.” she said looking at the ground
pulling her face up to look at his milk spoke “don’t be so hard on yourself from what i’ve seen you’re incredibly hardworking you care so much for others even more than yourself. you can take all the time you need and ask for help.”
lavender was at a loss for words her heart beating wildly as she searched his eyes finding genuine care in them
“thank you..” she said as her heart and brain came to the conclusion that he’s the one if only she could say it
