Harley Harley looked around with a nervous expression. He had decided to hide out away from a kid who liked to make fun of him. They often times took their stuff...and would make fun of him. The green hybrid with wings said it was because they needed to toughen up.. Spectrum was just a jerk who thought he was cheating because he needed a translator when Harley couldn't handle the hearing aids and was to overstimulate. Crouching down in the small space they made for themselves Harley sighed as they hugged their knees to their chest. Just a little while longer... and the coast would likely be clear. Shyly peeking from their hiding spot, hopeful look on their assumed safe space. Amon Amon was pretty bored...which was great considering normally they were nervous or scared. They had been trying to be bolder and go on adventures even without their adopted family right on hand. They had been adopted as a young child by a loving Grimm family after one of their own stone children passed away suddenly. A little pep to the Bakenekos step showed they were trying to put their best foot forward. Humming happily they came to a halt as a scared wide-eyed kid poked their head out suddenly. Surprised Amon jumped as their tail fluffed up in shock. "O..oh...! Y..you..scared me..." The young boy stammered out. Harley Harley stared at the other as they looked like they had just been scared half to death...which was surprising as he wasn't trying to spook anyone. Shyly the other Bakeneko made sure their hearing aids were in place...he could lip read extremely well, but Harley was also trying to get more accustomed to the additional aid. Connecting verbal speech to their brain was hard...they also hated talking to anyone other than their family. "Sorry....I didn't mean to.." slowly they began to pull themselves out of the spot they had back up into...ready to bolt away from the other. Harley really wasn't in the mood to socialize not that it was the other Freshlings fault. Amon Amon watched the other as they began to get up. A concerned look crossed his features. "Are you okay? W..why are you hiding here?" Amon sometimes came here when he was scared...it was away from the main student body and sometimes it was just nice to get away from it all. The concern, however, was why the other looked so scared and nervous..it wasn't like Amon had been mean to him. Although he did get scared...maybe he thought he was a loser. Whimpering softly he carefully moved closer. "I..I um...my..my name is Amon...I can leave if I'm bugging you." He spoke up before looking down at his feet briefly. Harley Harley froze as the other got closer. Flinching visibly the other child tensed as their breathing picked up. No...just go away. "I am fine!" The other squeaked out automatically signing as he spoke from routine and comfort sake. Shaking his head he felt tears threaten to spill over from their wide pink eyes. Holding a hand up they sniffed softly...their shirt had a rip in it from the scuffle from earlier. If the other could just...leave it would be okay. He needed to go change anyway before someone else wondered what was wrong. He knew his family would notice...but he could just mention he caught it on a bush or something. Amon Amon looked at the other with a confused expression. The other looked so...afraid. Not understanding why the other Bakeneko settled instead for a soft smile. "Okay. I won't come closer...but um.." he looked down at his favorite stuffed animal. "Just listen to me for a moment okay? When I get scared I hug my stuffy Kozi...I don't know what's wrong but..." he offered out the toy to the other with a gentle nod of his head. "I have a big family...and sometimes when I'm scared I talk to them." While they didn't know the other..maybe reminding them they weren't all alone would help! Amon wanted to help...even if the other ran off at least he tried. Harley Still frozen in place Harley listened closely to the other...partly because his soft voice even with the hearing aids was hard to make out. His brows furrowed as he watched the others mouth move. Realizing the other was talking about help...and even offered him his cute stuffed animal they blushed hotly as Harley looked down. Why were they so nice...he was worried it was a trick. Silently he moved closer to the other...eyes directly on them. He reluctantly took 'Kozi' and gave them a squished hug to their chest. Sniffing softly Harley pressed their face into the comfort provided. Shyly they gazed at the other. "My name...is Harley..." the other tentatively added before they released their death grip on the stuffed animal and handed it back. Amon Amon perked up as the other took a hold of his stuffed animal. It was one of his prized possessions so letting someone else have it was nerve-wracking...but clearly the other needed the comfort! Smiling as the other shared their name Amon smiled brightly at the other. They were making progress at least! For what it was worth he appreciated the fact the other had at least tried to hear him out. "See..it's okay." He coaxed. Amon knew it was hard to talk about things that made you scared...and they didn't really know each other but now was as good as any time! Or at least that seemed like a fair way to get the ball rolling. Harley Harley rubbed at one of their eyes softly as they took in the others kindness and generosity. It was weird but not unwelcome. If anything they were relieved the other didn't come here to pick up where Spectrum left off. "I...will try talking to my momma...but it's not like it'll do any good. I...i am just going to have to deal with it. The other kid thinks I'm pathetic and makes sure I know it." He whispered softly. Kids could be so cruel. Normally they made fun of him since he was hearing impaired but that had gotten better as he got older and used the devices given to him by his loving adopted family. Looking away the other bakeneko shrugged then unsure what else to say.
Maybe they had already said too much..? The last thing Harley wanted was for the other to have to deal with anything meant for them. Instead of turning tail and running, however, Harley waited to see what would happen next.
Amon Amon looked troubled as the other began to hesitantly confide in him. He took the others hand as he smiled softly giving it a gentle squeeze. "Even if scary...or you don't think it'll help you never know right? You won't know unless you try." Amon smiled brightly at the other as his tail swished rather Grimm like. "Do...you have a change of shirts? Let's go I got your back!" The orange haired boy beamed. If not he could share his jacket! Amon waited until the other slowly nodded at him before the pair began to walk away from the hiding spot. Amon wasn't exactly sure what to make of the other...but like how his brother helped him out when he was sad it was Amon's turn to return the favor.
