✔ babyface - mel & ty

27

Birds were tweeting

The sun was shining

It was quiet and serene

The forest smelled fruity and woody

Melanie was walking among acorns and dry leaves

She was singing a ditty for herself

Melanie loved to sing

Even though she was too insecure to do it

In front of other people

She also didn't want Tyler to hear her

Maybe he would think she sings bad?

Maybe he would laugh at her?

And the boy she was thinking about, showed up from behind a tree

Melanie jumped of surprise

She thought it was great that you can't read thoughts

"Hey," Tyler said, and smiled cutely

"Hello," Melanie said

She felt that comforting feeling she always felt when Tyler was near

She felt safe

He was wearing a red beanie

It matched his backpack with the signs on the straps

It also matched his socks

But red was the only color

Other than that, his shirt and pants were black

"Wanna go to the treehouse now?"

Melanie nodded, a beam forming on her lips

They walked together

And talked in the meantime

Tyler and Melanie were often quiet

But today they talked about everything

Tyler seemed to be in such a jolly mood

He was the sassy, dorky, giggling kind of Tyler

Melanie acknowledged that he didn't look as tired

As if he'd slept alright

Suddenly Melanie changed subject from blue frogs in the jungle to talk about him

Which they never seemed to do

They always just talked about her

Tyler had been too mysterious lately

"Is your favorite color red?"

Tyler waited with the answer

"No. Blue is."

Melanie nodded slowly

"But I've never seen you wear blue. You only wear red."

Tyler looked down, kind of avoiding her gaze

"Remember the wolf I told you about?"

"The one only you can see?"

Tyler scoffed "I don't know what kind of sorcery it is, but he's real. The wolf has a name; Blurryface. He does exist and those who say they can't see him are lying to me"

Melanie shook her head for herself

She merely believed Blurryface existed, in other forms than the teddy bear Tyler had given Melanie

"Anyways, he's the one telling me I can't wear anything else than red. Especially not blue"

"Why?"

Tyler rolled his eyes, as if Melanie was a baby and understood nothing

He hit a rock laying on the ground with his shoe

It made Melanie jump

"Because blue is a sign of defeat!" he yelled, like it was the most obvious thing in the world

"Defeat for whom? Defeat for you or Blurryface?"

Tyler had stopped

He groaned as of he was very irritated

He abruptly turned around ninety degrees to start walking another direction

Melanie quickly jogged after him

"Defeat for both," Tyler mumbled "I don't wanna talk about this anymore"

But Melanie had to know, while they were still on the subject

"Does that mean that if you defeat Blurryface, you will defeat yourself?"

"I said I don't wanna talk about it!!!"

His voice was so loud, it echoed in the forest

A second later something fell to the ground with a loud thud

Tyler had fell on some rocks

Melanie screeched

Tyler started crying

"There's blood on my hands! It's too red! Wash it off of me, please!"
