Rainy days

Chp1- Rainy Encounters

Marshal sighed. He had a long day at school, being assigned extra homework and detention on Sunday would probably ruin anyone's day. He took the bus home, drawing on the foggy windows. Foggy because of the light, yet dark rain. The bus came to a stop and marshal stood up, it was his stop so he got off as he waited for the bus to move. He quickly jogged across the street, and began walking down the sidewalk. While looking around he saw many homeless people. He lived in the city, so it was a common occurrence. It still made him sad though, to see so many people on the streets, without homes, jobs, actual food. Marshal didn't know how he hadn't ended up like one of them after he moved out of his dad's house. He looked up, in the distance he saw a small boy sitting on the sidewalk: white long hair, dirty and messy, his clothes scarce, torn and filthy. He himself hadn't looked good either. Marshal couldn't help but feel bad for him. A starving, homeless, kid. How could people even let him get like that? Marshal quickly jogged up to the boy, kneeling beside him. The albino looked up at him, with large, curious, purple eyes.

"Hey, you look like you could use some help?"

He said, holding out a hand for the boy.

"The names Marshal, you?"

"Logan,"

The boy said quietly.

"Well Logan, mind if I lend you a hand?"

Marshal asked.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Logan asked wearily.

"Well, I was thinkin' of bringing you back to my place, letting you shower, eat. Maybe get you some new clothes"

He smiled, and Logan looked away.

"It's fine. You really don't need to..."

He said, tracing circles onto the cold, wet, concrete.

"No, I insist. You need the help"

Marshal said, Logan nodded and took the strangers hand.

With an attempt to stand up, Logan fumbled, nearly falling to his knees. But, Marshal caught him just in time. He swooped Logan up into a bridal hold and Logan blushed.

"H-Hey! Its fine, i-I'm fine. You don't need to-"

"Nope, can't change my mind"

Marshal smiled. He began walking towards what Logan presumed to be his home.

"Am I sure this is a good idea? He could easily take advantage of me considering our size difference.... what if he's kidnapping me? What if he wants my kidney...?"

Logan was muttering under his breath about the possibility of his kidney being stolen.

"I'm not gonna steal your kidney,"

Marshal chuckled.

"Wait, you heard me?"

Marshal nodded.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't doubt you, cause your doing so much for me already. I mean, it's incredibly nice and generous that your helping me so I should be more grateful, a-a-and I'm sorry for being rude"-

"Logan. It's fine. I would be scared for my kidneys to, but don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?"

Marshal smiled warmly at the smaller boy, while Logan looked down with a small blush.

"Ok..."

Marshal set Logan on his feet after entering the building,
