Milo Milo wouldn't say he was really up to anything in particular other than busy work. He had gone for a walk around the Academy Garden grounds. His nose sniff as the sweet scent of flowers tickled his senses. Blinking curiously his tail began to wag as he moved further away from the main area to go walk among the flowers. Fascinated the child's bright blue eyes shone with wonder. He wondered about the names of the various species...it was a nice distraction from the heavy loss they felt in missing their deceased twin. Lost in thought Milo didn't even see the kid by the Bush he was close by...and tripped over them unexpectedly as the Grimm yelped in dismay.
Harley Harley had found a nice spot to lay down and work on coloring in his favorite coloring book. After his talk with Amon...Harley felt a lot better about themselves. Humming softly the child's feet swung back and forth in a lazy fashion as their crayon began scribbling against the page. Harley paid special attention to not color outside the lines. They wanted this to be a nice picture to give their new friend! Not that they told anyone their plans..it was a secret. Which was why they came to a secluded spot. For once it wasn't to hide...Harley just liked the alone time. Being in class and around others was draining.
So when someone tripped over them...the scared yowl of shock. "AHHHH?!" He whined as he pulled away from the other with a wide-eyed expression.
Milo Milo plopped on the hard ground as the other blinked in dismay as he looked for the source of the fall. The scream from the other individual was certainly a good indication who had made him fall. Pulling his little feet close back to this body the boy gazed at the other with a wide-eyed expression. "Oh! I am sooooo sorry!! I didn't mean to trip over you..the flowers were so pretty I was lost in them." Flushing sheepishly Milo offered the other a warm apologetic smile. Relaxing as it was just another kid, Milo tilted his head at the other. Hopefully, he hadn't hurt them...he actually recognized him from a couple classes. The other didn't talk much and usually made hand gestures to communicate or wrote things down.
Harley Harley wheezed a bit trying to catch up with their rapidly pounding heart. Slowly the child relaxed as they pulled themselves up and gazed at the Grimm boy with long hair. Harley realized they did recognize the other...the Grimm was always nice and sharing snacks with him. He had run away from him the other day when Milo tried to get him to come to play outside. A pang of guilt made their eyes glance away momentarily. Hesitantly Harley looked back at the other and tentatively got up...walking towards them as they crouched down. "Are...you...okay?" Harley asked signing as well, knowing the other tried to pay attention to him when he did...which had been a huge surprise.
Milo Milo watched the other, trying to learn visually. They weren't close or best friends (yet Milo wanted to fix that) but he did feel like it was not too much to ask to try and pick up on what made the other comfortable. Milo had a lot of room in his heart for more friends especially someone who was so nice and quiet as Harley. He was pretty sure this was who Amon, his adopted brother mentioned meeting. It wasn't like Milo was a master at sign language but simple gestures and learning went hand and hand. Motioning back yes, the Grimm smiled at the other sheepishly.
"Hi Harley...yes I'm just fine it is okay!" He soothed the other.
Harley Harley felt their jaw drop open. It was one thing to recognize someone...it was another to call them by name. Their heart began to beat loudly with a surprised gasp. It was really awesome actually and made them sit up a little taller. Harley's ears perked up with a curious look on their face. A shy smile finally formed as they waved at the other sheepishly. "Hello Milo... I didn't know you remembered me. I um..I am glad to see you here today." They added softly. Sitting down beside their friend the Bakeneko looked to the Grimm for a long moment. "You are always so nice.. I appreciate it." Harley added quietly
Milo Milo brushed aside his long blue hair from his face as it was driving the boy nuts today. As much as Milo loved his long hair..he had been thinking about cutting it. Their tail thudded on the ground as the other seemed to be happy he had identified him. Milo tried his best to remember all his classmate's name and faces... simply due to the fact it never felt good to be forgotten. “Think nothing of it. You are nice to me too and I like hanging out with you during recess.” Even if it was just a friendly hi and a wave...Milo knew how much that could make a difference when you were feeling down. “I am okay! I'm a strong Grimm.” Milo flushed slightly as he smiled. Regardless of what's going on, Milo wanted the other to know they were a valuable individual.
Harley Harley listened to the other as the Bakeneko exhaled with a small sigh of relief. Well good, then it was going to be ok. Smiling he glanced at the other as he shifted to scoot a little closer to the other. "I am glad you are okay then..." They quietly added as the child's tail curled around their body. For a moment the two sat in silence. Unsure what to do or say Harley turned to look at the other after a moment. "I'm making a picture for a friend I met...i think i need to make you one." Harley added suddenly as he tapped the other's arm to get his attention.
Milo Milo relaxed with the other content to sit in silence if that's what the other Freshling wanted to do. For a moment he felt himself close his eyes taking in the peaceful summer breeze that rustled throughout the garden. For the first time in several weeks...Milo felt at ease. Among the comfort, nature brought and with a new friend the young Grimm smiled as they laid their head on the other's shoulder. Peering up as the other tapped his arm he looked surprised. "You are?" He looked over at the color book noticing he made the other mess up on a spot with a line... but said nothing about the mistake. Blushing Milo perked up, tail thumping happily on the ground. "You mean it? I will have to make you something to since you're my friend as well!" Milo giggled happily, that meant a lot to hear. Realistically speaking, Milo had already considered the other a friend so to hear that..was like being given a really nice gift.
Harley Harley exhales softly in a nervous fashion unsure what the other would think or say. Harley had tried to offer out an olive branch..wanting to make it official to make the other his friend. Perking up his gaze searched the others face as they seemed to light up. Truly they hadn't expected this at all...so to hear the other offer to even make them something in return...Harley felt tears well up in their eyes. It was incredible honestly, somehow they now had two friends.... that wasnt something any of his bullies could take away. "Thank you...! Do you want to go explore with me?" He asked shyly not sure what the other would say. To his delight, the other was quick to agree. A lightness in the bakenekos heart made them feel like they could take on the universe so long as they had a few good friends on hand.
