"i watch over you while your in the forest" he said simply, it sounded better then i follow you everytime you come here without your knowladge

Tino blushed a little as he nodded slowly. "Well, I ought to get going..." he said quietly. He turned around and began to walk back towards the town.

he transformed back and followed him as he left... his blue eyes never once leaving the fin.

((time skip))

he paced anxiously.. the boy seemed to be late, is it possible that he missed him that much... he had only seen him twice! he peeked out at the trail again, still nothing!

Tino sauntered through the woods on the path, as usual, his cloak swaying gently as he walked. "Berwald?" he called as he looked around

his ears perked up immediately and he walked out. he approached the fin still not changing back and nudged his hand

Tino nearly jumped a mile into the air when he was nudged. "B-Berwald!" he exclaimed "H-Hi! I didn't expect you to startle me like that!" he laughed

he nudged him again and began to walk ahead looking back at the fin and hoping hed get the idea and follow him... he wanted to show his his favorite part of the forest

Tino looked down at Berwald and walked after him. "H-Hey, where are you going?" he asked

He motioned with his head to follow him and continued walking slowing down as he left the trail behind

Tino walked quickly so he could catch up with him. "Where are you taking me?" he asked.

he didnt answer just kept walking.

Tino shrugged and kept following.

eventually they came to a large field filled with flowers in full bloom and ringed with trees this was his favorite place. he transformed back. "this is my favorite place... its peaceful... and beautiful.

Tino's mouth went agape in awe. "It's beautiful....." he marvelled in agreement.

"not as beautiful as you" he said before he could regret it his cheeks once again darkening with a blush.

Tino blushed and he wriggled around a bit awkwardly.

he coughed trying to break the silence... "anyway what id like is... a kiss... on the cheek" he adds on the last part he didnt want to push it to far to quickly

Tino blushed very darkly. A kiss? he slowly inched over to Berwald and kissed him quickly and softly upon his cheek.

Berwald smiled a tiny bit, just a small one and blushed dark as well. He tried to hide it by rushing off into the forest to get the basket and medicine for his grandfather... He wished that wasnt the only reason tino was here.....

Tino was startled when Berwald started to run away. He booked it after him. "Hey, where are you going?" he called after him.

"getting the medicine...." he said shyly not turning around he didnt want him to see how badly he was blushing from just a kiss on the cheek.

"Can I follow you?" Tino asked. In truth he didn't even know how to find his way back to the forest path, anyways, he'd just kind of followed Berwald to the clearing.....

"i will lead you back to the path im just grabbing the medicine" he said turning around without thinking. "ill be back in seconds...." he barely broke the tree line. he then noticed his mistake of turning around and quickly bustled off

Tino stood there, waiting for him. He hoped he hadn't scared Berwald away....

He came back with the basket still blushing a tiny bit although most of it had gone away. he smiled a little and gave him the basket. "thank you" he mumbled not totally sure what he was thanking the fin for but saying nonetheless.

he trasformed back quickly after that feeling the blush coming on again. he nosed his hand to tell him to come with him
