We arrived to the beautiful garden that I saw
We walked slowly and admired the sun sets beauty
Walking quietly...
Claude made a big smile as I turned to look at him and smiled back gently
He then brought me too a clear view of the sunset
We both sat on a clean grass and looked up
Staring at the sunset quietly admiring it
"We watched the sunset before too Athy..."
Claude said looking at the sunset then turned his gaze to me with a gentle smile
"We did?"
I asked confused
"Yes, it was our first meeting after you treated my wounds you thought that in order to make me feel better we'll go and watch the sunset"
Claude said giggling thinking about the memories with me
And once again...
I was mesmerized by Claude's beautiful and charming smile
I remembered the time I was reincarnated and met him again the second day
For the first time I saw the gentle smile of Claude who was happy that I talked to him again
Remembering all those I smiled to myself as I looked at Claude happily smiling to himself looking at the sun
"..."
"...."
The both of us went quiet and as I kept on staring at Claude
He seemed to have notice that I was staring at him and made his ears and face flush red
"Ummm Athy?"
Claude asked embarrassed to even look at me
"Yes?"
I answered immediately
"Would you please stop staring at me? it's making me embarrassed..."
Claude said embarrassed and looked away from me
But I still kept on staring at him giggling to myself
He looked at me with embarrassed look on his face and smiled gently
I smiled back
"You keep making things that would make my heartbeat fast Athy..."
Claude said looked away shyly
I was confused but still smiled I reached for him and patted his head
"Hehe"
I giggled to myself
"Please don't treat me like a little kid Athy"
Claude said trying to push my hand away that was patti g his head
I was again confused
"But you are a kid Claude?"
I answered back asking him with my head tilted to the side confused
"I'm not though"
Claude responded pouting
Hehe how cute Claude is
I thought to myself
And kept patting his head
Without looking my way Claude said
"Why do you treat me like i'm your little brother?"
He asked his head turned to the other side
"Because you're like a little brother to me Claude"
I answered happily smiling gently at Claude while a kept on patting his head
But as I said that Claude flinched and slowly turned his head to me with a disappointed look on his face
I was shock to see his expression
Why do you have that look on your face Claude?
I asked without saying out loud because for some reason I can't seem to ask him that
As we stared at each other quietly
*Mumble Mumble*
Claude mumbled to himself but I couldn't hear it since the sound of wind was too loud and his voice were so soft that I wasn't able to hear him
I tilted my head as I was confused
After he was done mumbling he looked at me straight in the eyes and smiled back at me
?
I was confused once again
"Would you like to know the shortcut everytime I go to your house?"
Claude said smiling at me asking
I then shook my head to forget what just happened and nodded my head
As I was curious to where is that shortcut Claude has been telling
Claude then stood up and reached his hand out to me and smiled gently and once again I was charmed
I accepted his hand and smiled gently as he helped me to stand up
Claude then did not let go of my hand even if I was already up
And I figured that he must have wanted to hold my hand and so I ignored it and held his hand back
We then turned to the way where Claude said the shortcut was
We went around his manor and to see a big dog hole on their wall
"I crawl under here to go to the short route"
Claude said with a smile
I then nodded my head
He pointed towards the dog hole and looked at me smiling and said
"Lady's first"
Claude said
I nodded my head and smiled at him for how sweet he was
"Why thank you"
I answered back
It was unrefined for a lady to crawl but no one is watching and I wasn't a refined lady in the first place
I crawled under the dog hole just as Claude told me
And as I successfully got out I stood up and looked around to where we are
And to see that we are in the middle of a quiet with beautiful grass and little trees around
As I was looking at the place Claude then stood beside me and took my hand again
"Let's go over there Athy"
Claude said happily as he pointed towards where the path that is full of beautiful flowers
As we were nearing I noticed a bunch of beautiful flowers but they didn't seem to be growing there
It's as if they were planted there
I thought to myself
"To not lose my way to your house I planted those flowers and so they could lead me to you"
Claude said without looking back but I was sure he was smiling
"Really? did you take care of those flowers alone?"
I said amazed by how determined he was
"Yes I did, every morning I go and visit the flowers I planted and water them everyday"
Claude said
"And now they're all grown up and has helped me to go your hone faster"
Claude added with a big smile on his face looking at the flowers he planted
"Wow..."
I said amazed as we walked passed by the flowers
"If I was the one to plant those beautiful flowers, they can't even stay until 1 week those flowers would die immediately"
I said answering seriously
But Claude giggled and looked back to me and said
"You're over exaggerating it Athy"
He said smiling brightly giggling
"No! I'm telling the truth! you see when I was 6-"
I stopped talking
Claude looked at me in confusion wondering why I stopped
I planted those plants in my previous life
What if he'll know, he'll hate me after and say that I'm nit the Athy he knew...
What if because of that he' find me hateful and lier...
No no no I can just lie and.... no it's better to not say anything than to lie
I talked to myself thinking about it and I went completely silent
Claude stared at me then looked straight again
"..."
Claude and me were silent for a minuet when he suddenly saw a familiar path he flinched
"We're almost there Athy, we just have to turn left over there and we're in your house"
Claude said pointing left with a smile on his face
I nodded my head and looked at Claude as I smiled gently
When I saw Claude's face he was smiling but not as bright as before
Was he annoyed that I stopped halfway through I was talking?
I asked myself
Of course he is, think Athy!
I yelled at myself inside of my head
Was he suspicious of me?
I aske myself
"I'm sorry Claude..."
I mumbled softly looking down on the ground as we walk
Claude suddenly flinched and as I felt that he was looking at me
I got confused and so I looked up to look at him, but he was looking straight ahead...
Looking at the path and that we are almost to arrive home with a serious look on his face
I must be thinking about it
I thought to myself
