ACCOMPANY ME, PLEASE.
██████████
"MARK!" SHOUTED A BOY WITH A SILLY HAT ON, WAVING HIS HAND IN THE AIR. His droopy smile shone a ray of light across the library, like a beam of hope from the Sun.
Mark shushed Chenle, making him sit quickly on the seat in front of the other, before getting stick up glares from the strict librarian. She shot him another dead look, pushing her small, round specks up her nose.
"What do you want Hatter?" He asked quietly, placing his book down on the ragged table.
Chenle placed his elbow on the table, stabling his chin. He set up his famous cheeky smile at him. Mark knew where this was going.
"Can you join me and my Morning Tea? Please!" The purple haired lad pleaded, fluttering his lashes cutely.
Sighing, Mark continued to read his book, flipping to the next page. Chenle pouted as the other's eyes moved left to right quickly, making him feel dizzy just watching them.
"Please! I beg you Mark!"
"Can you just ask someone else, I'm busy studying."
Chenle frowned. "But we don't have any tests coming up!"
"Well I want to master my debate speech." Mark lowly blurted.
"Fine," grumbled Chenle, "I'll just ask Jisung."
With that, he set off to their groups dorm, where the youngest member was.
Jisung Locks was stuffing his bag, with clothes and books. He kept on walking back and forth of their shared room with the other two oldest, somehow tripping on Jeno's skate board and picking up Mark's book instead of his.
Chenle just watched him from the doorway, getting quite bored as he waited for Jisung to notice he was there.
"Jisung, you going somewhere?"
The blue haired stopped his little pack up, and perked his ears to Chenle's direction.
"Yeah, I'm going to my parents house." He said, zipping his bag and swung it over his shoulder.
Chenle frowned, "But you're the only person who can join my Tea Party." He whined. Squeaky then popped out of his hat, crawling to his shoulder. The mouse patted his cheek, frowning at Jisung as well.
"I'm sorry Chenle," Jisung said as he walked closer to the boy, "These days they want me to visit them every weekend."
The Hatter flapped his hands, "It's fine."
"Why don't you ask Jaemin or Donghyuck?"
He rolled his eyes, "Love problems," Chenle gagged, "Jaemin is so head over heals for him, are Jeno's walls that thick?"
Jisung laughed, "That guy is after all so stubborn." He patted Chenle's shoulder, "Better go now, sorry I can't join!"
The younger brisked out of their dorm, waving a small goodbye. As soon as the door close, it's loud bang made Chenle let out a long sigh. And so did Squeaky.
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
He couldn't help but let out an uncountable huff that same morning, dropping his cheek on his palm. Chenle groaned in boredom, as his pet poured more tea into the cup he had on his right hand.
Morning Tea was always his favorite, especially if it was set in the forest, like how he was now. But having no friends around made it go down hill. All the happiness just drowned from his heart into his stomach, he didn't know how to kill boredom on Friday breaks.
The birds were chirping, while squirrels jumped from one tree to another. The tree leaves float to the ground, swinging to the hallow breeze.
Usually, Jisung or Mark would be accompanying him at this time, but these days they're always busy. He was always scared to ask Jaemin or Donghyuck because he wasn't close with them, and Jeno had extra Dragon Riding classes. He just wished he had a person by his side at his empty times, like now.
Just as he was about to pound his head to the table, a faint sound of humming came from the back of him. Chenle's body froze, the voice was gentle and soft. It sounded so addicting to his ears, like his favorite piece to play on the grand piano.
He glanced at Squeaky, who just shrugged and shook his little head, followed by his twitching whiskers. Chenle got up from his seat, intriguing to find out who was singing.
The soft hums led him to the big oak tree near by, where he spotted someone. The person was crouched down, picking and admiring the daisies that swayed to their hums. He or she had a red coat on, head buried in the hood.
Chenle didn't know if love at first hear was a thing, but he briskly walked closer to the stranger.
The person was too busy humming that he didn't realise Chenle was right by his basket.
Giggling silently, Chenle smiled.
"Excuse me," he coughed, "there's something behind your ear."
The stranger perked his head up. Chenle didn't know how a pair of lovely brown eyes can melt him on the spot, but the stranger's definitely did. He had light ginger for his hair colour, a small nose and a very slim face with the softest features anyone can ever imagine.
"Sorry?"
Chenle bent down, lowering his height to the same as the strangers. He then reached for behind his left ear, making sure to touch his ginger hair and knock out the silly red hood, which hid all the person's beauty. It bothered him.
When he pulled away, a flower appear in between his fingers. He placed a palm on his chest and went on one of his knees. "This is for you." He said, holding out the fresh daisy.
The lad was hesitating to take the flower from him, cheeks sprinkled with a gentle dust of pink. That was Chenle's chance to stand up and pop the flower behind his ear.
Out of all the sight, this was the most breath taking. The boy looked so astonishing with the flower, helping his face glow like the sun. Maybe even more blinding than that. Even the girls in the school next door can't look this stunning.
The flower suited well with his hair colour, and the way he fluttered his lashes timidly. An angel. He definitely beaten all the heavens just by his beauty.
The lad shrunk his head into his shoulder, tugging shyly on to his basket.
"I'm Chenle Hatter and you are? It's very rare to see a graceful person to roam around the forest, and with that lovely voice of yours." He said, bowing lightly, sending him best his smile.
"Thank you," The other let out a small grin in return, "I love strolling in the forest in the mornings. I'm surprised I've never saw you around, especially being so all charming. Renjun Hood is my name, it's a pleasure to meet you, Chenle Hatter."
Renjun Hood, his name perfectly fitted with his looks. Delicate and angelic.
"You too Renjun. Would you like to join me for morning tea?" Chenle offered walking closer to him, taking out his hand.
"I would love too."
The two settled down on a seats, having the time of their lives. Chenle's freshly baked biscuits made Renjun stutter with joy, and the ginger tea was something to die for.
"Is this your pet?" Renjun asked, petting Squeaky with his one finger. The white mouse shivered at first, but then snuffled into the newbie's touch.
"Yeah," Chenle muttered, "don't you have one?"
"I do, he's a little pup," Renjun thank Squeaky for the tea and sipped it, "He's now having a nap in the basket."
Chenle nodded and elbowed Squeaky, "You hear that, he can be a new friend!" He teased, getting miniature, blaring squeaks from the mouse.
Renjun giggled, "It was nice having tea with you, but I have to go. I'm suppose to head somewhere." He picked up his basket and fixed his hood.
The Hatter frowned, "Alright, but will I ever see you again?"
Smiling lightly, Renjun sniggle, "Of course. Maybe tomorrow, in the same place?"
Chenle nodded. The ginger hair boy chuckled and waved a goodbye. He then started walking off deeper into the woods, glancing back every few steps.
Yet again, Chenle sighed. There comes the emptiness filling his heart. Little did he know they were going to meet a lot sooner than he thought.
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Staring into the the old oak tree from the window of his shared bedroom, Chenle smiled as he thought of the older boy. His eye colour matched well with bark of the tree, a smokey shade of brown with a glimpse of bright sparks. The way the trees swayed to the breeze was the same as how Renjun hummed to his little luluby, gentle and heart warming.
Suddenly, the door to their dorm smacked open, followed by wild stomps. Chenle bounced at the sudden blow, scaring Squeaky from his small nap.
From the doorway he could see Donghyuck zooming by, then a loud shut echoed from his shared room with Jaemin. He knew the tanner male was pissed off.
"Donghyuck!" Jaemin's voice boomed before the front door slammed open again. Chenle could hear him run to his bedroom, banging on to the door. "He didn't mean it, I'm sure!"
The purple haired boy went to investigate, calming Jaemin down then asked him what happened.
"He fought with Mark, again." Jaemin said as he slid down the wall, throwing his head back.
"Again?" Chenle muttered, crouching down to his level. "What did they fought over."
"I don't know, but probably the most stupidest thing ever! They ended up calling each other names and insults. Mark got over board I guess and so he's upset. But it's ridiculous! Who do they think they are, preschool kids?" Jaemin huffed, messing up his hair furiously.
Chenle shrugged, "From what I think Donghyuck just hates Mark's guts."
Jaemin agreed, "But we have to get along, we have to make it to the end of the year together!" He murmured angrily, "It's just so stressful!"
He had never seen the brunet that angry over things. Jaemin was always the type of person to smile and was vary butter-fingered. It just felt weird to see him broken down because their group couldn't get along with each other.
"It isn't easy to work with people you're set up with," Chenle cleared, "We didn't know each other from the start right."
The older sighed, yeah, Chenle was right. For being the son of the Mad Hatter Chenle wasn't always that insane. Surprisingly, he didn't know how to speak Riddlish, unlike the people of Wonderland. He was always calm at pressured situations, making him very useful to have. Jaemin didn't understand how they weren't close.
Just as Chenle was about to help Jaemin up, the door burst open the third time that day. Does this group not know how to knock?
"Guys, we have a new comer!" Jeno was peeking through the door way, having one of the most friendliest grins ever.
Jaemin got up and followed Chenle to the White. He brushed his clothes clean before muttering, "New student in this time of the year? That's unexpected. Aren't you suppose to be at Dragon Riding Jeno?"
"Yeah, but Professor Beast called me out to meet the new student, someone has to show him around since he's joining our group. He's waiting by the door."
Chenle groaned, "Professor Cinderella always give us obstacles, like why does the new student have to join us-"
"Chenle."
It was the same soothing voice he adored. Even if he had just heard it this morning, it seemed so familiar to him, as if he had knew it for all his life.
His head straight away shot from his feet to the lad that had called out his name.
"R-renjun?"
He ran to the ginger head, taking his hands into his, engulfing them as a warm welcome. Chenle couldn't help but glance at his left ear to find the flower from the morning missing, disappointing him.
"You're the new student?" He gasped.
Renjun nodded, flushing at the touch as he felt uneasy at the other two presence's gazes.
"Why didn't you tell me! I could've led you here." Chenle hollered, piercing his stare at Renjun's roaming eyes.
Jeno coughed, making Chenle let go of the older's hands and flipped away, he could feel his cheeks burn in unbearable heat.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but you two know each other? How-"
"Then why don't you show him around Chenle! Wouldn't that be great Jeno." Jaemin suggested, thrusting his elbow to the other's hip.
"Ouch- Yeah! That would be um great!" He yelped, rubbing the spot Jaemin hit.
Chenle looked at Jaemin unsurely, getting a wink from the brunet. He gathered up all his confidence before asking Renjun if he would accept the offer.
"I guess so." The younger signaled Renjun to follow him. They both then headed out, quite awkward from the previous situation.
"Care to explain what your thinking Jaemin?" Jeno asked, as soon as the two were out of their sight.
Jaemin giggled, "So that's how I act around you." He uttered silently, making sure the lad beside him couldn't hear a word. He then flashed a small at Jeno, who was still clueless.
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
It took Chenle most of the afternoon to show Renjun around, until their last destination. The most beautiful place in their campus.
"And this is the Grand Flower Field of Fairy Tale Boarding School." Chenle proudly huffed, leading Renjun to a stone built bench.
Renjun understood why it had the word 'Grand' in it's name. The place was filled with limitless amount of flowers, from Dancing Lilies to the most wonderful Morning Glories.
Chenle watched Renjun wonder between the plants, running his fingers over their soft pettels. He found it amazing how Renjun loved flowers so much, anyone can see the glitter in his eyes as soon as he lay his eyes on the spacious flower field.
After a few minutes of roaming around, pleasuring himself, Renjun sat next to Chenle on the bench. In front of them the sun was starting to set, the sky was all orange and yellow, waved around with the clouds as if God had painted it.
The spot was perfect, the timing was perfect and the view was perfect. Chenle even thought the lad beside him was perfect.
The two sat in silence, watching the sun hiding behind the high hills of Fairy Tale Land. Until it completely disappear from their sight, Chenle took Renjun back to the dorm.
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
"This is where you'll be sleeping." Jaemin said, pointing at the bed in the other corner.
Renjun now shared a room with Donghyuck and the brunet. It seemed really comfortable, especially with Jaemin. He wasn't sure how Donghyuck actually was, the boy was still quite upset by one of their other member named...he couldn't remember.
He pushed his suite case by the bed as Jaemin sat on his bunk bed he and the missing roommate shared.
"Sorry we couldn't welcomed you properly to the group, those two are always in fights."
"It's alright."
Renjun saw a little side table beside his bed. He reached for something in his basket, taking out a small glass jar, filled with water and a bit of soil. A white daisy was popping out from the top, looking quite droopy bit still fresh.
Jaemin couldn't help but ask who it was from, it looked so precious to the older.
"Oh this, it's from someone very special to me." He whispered, smiling widely at himself as he placed it on the brown oak table.
