Warning: fluff, childhood friends to lovers, slight bullying, uh can’t think of another warning
A/n: first fic so fair warning for bad writing (grammar mistakes), also I will make a rule post on what you can request after I post this lol.
Since childhood you could tell something was off about your life, every time you looked out the windows of the “home” you lived in, you’d always see other kids your age or above with their parents, you always thought to yourself *how come mine don’t come visit?, Though you were young and the thought always seem to not concern you a lot, you felt that the home that you lived in with the other kids was all you needed because without your friends the caretakers of the orphanage you’d feel lonely.
Up until the age of 8, when you’d been sent out to do some chores in the garden because you just HAD to show off your tiny plant that you had planted a few weeks back from some random seeds you found on the floor, you’d hear a bunch of noises and kids laughing, usually there is a group of boys who were jerks for absolutely no reason considering that they were still a bunch of eight years old, yet already acted like this, you assumed it was them again and you already had turned your foot into the opposite direction, nope! Not gonna deal with that today, as you were about to start walking again in the opposite way you heard the sound of someone hitting the ground, this catching your attention quickly and you lean onto the wall, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear to hear on what they were saying.
“Ew this freak thinks he can really become a ninja, Ha!”
“Don’t you need talent and strength to be one? He clearly has none if he can’t even fight us off”
Wait who’s fighting?! Ok maybe you were a bit of a scaredy cat and also shy, and the only person who was your friend was this nice old lady who would always let you take her cats out and play with them but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t do something to stop it! I mean it’s either try to stop it and then also get beat or live with this guilty feeling of knowing you could’ve done something..hmmm this is a hard decision
“Hey! Back off you jerks!”
You yelled jumping in with a pair of pruners in both your hands
Silence, the group of boys stopped and just looked up at you with a confused face, god why did you yell and jump out like that, knowing that even if they were to actually try to attack you, you would’ve simply dropped the pruner’s and drop to floor apologizing.
“Um..uh..back off?! I have a weapon and I’m not afraid to use it!”
You yelled once again to get them to finally back away, this worked in your favor and they simply scoffed and walked away, one passing you and before leaving, had whispered in your ear
“Don’t think you won just because we backed off”
Chills ran down your spine when he said that before running off, eugh! You looked down and spotted this boy on the ground with some sort of braid just sitting there with what looked like dirt stains, probably from the fall, and small scraps
“Hey, you alright?”
“Yes! Thank you for that”
“Your welcome! Um that looks painful, if you want I can treat it! This lady I mean I guess you can say my friend, taught how to treat my own wounds incase no one is there for me ..hehe” your words fading towards the end realizing you sort of rambled
“Oh no it’s fines you don’t have to I mean I’d like to but I don’t want to be bothersome”
