(They are humanoid makos in this :3 So they have tails and ears of a mako XD)
Freddy stared from the dark corner of the classroom, hiding away from other children. He was wearing his trade mark top hat but he was nervous...why? The other children judged him. And he didn't know why. Was it because he acted to polite? Because of how he looked?
Freddy didn't know. He shut his eyes as he blocked out the sound of the other children around him. He thought about the lullaby his mother used to sing him...before she died.
The song played in his head as he muttered parts of the song. " The same rain that draws you near me... " he muttered in a small song voice. " In the mmoorrnniinngg "
Suddenly he felt someone tap his shoulder. Freddy nervously opened his eyes to look at a unfamiliar face. " What are you singing? " The boy asked. The boy seemed to be dressed as an elf...which Freddy found a little odd.
" A-A lullaby... " Freddy said, a bit surprised someone was talking to him.
" It's really nice! " the boy said, grinning. " Oh hey! My name's Taris! What's yours?! " the boy then added excitedly.
" Freddy " the other boy replied.
" Nice name...Fred Bear! " Taris said, giggling at his nickname he created for Freddy.
" Fred...Bear? " Freddy questioned.
" Well, I make nicknames for people " Taris said, shrugging.
" Why? " Freddy asked.
" Why not? It's fun aanndd you might discover a nickname someone else REALLY likes! " Taris gleamed happily.
Freddy couldn't help but smile at the other boy's up-beat attitude...even if the nickname was weird.
" Also...why are you in a corner by yourself? You should be having FUN and not be BORED! " Taris said with a scrunched up face, making him look a bit funny.
Freddy couldn't hold in his laughter at the other boy's face. Taris looked confused before grinning and joining in Freddy's deep laughter.
" You laughed! You laughed! I win! " Taris gleamed happily.
" Win what? " Freddy said, finally stopped laughing.
" Making you my friend! " Taris replied in a 'matter of fact' voice. " If you laugh or smile at one of my jokes, face or anything. Your my friend! "
Freddy stared at Taris in shocked. " F-friend?! " he choked out. " B-but...I-I- "
" Yes, friend " Taris interrupted. " Why wouldn't I want to be your friend? You act all posh AND you have a really really nice singing voice! "
The connversation between Taris and Freddy went along like this for a while before school was over. Taris waited with Freddy in the classroom while they waited for someone to pick them up. Suddenly a human girl pushed the door open, her face brightening up when she spotted Taris.
" Tarieeee! " She squealed happily, running over to the humanoid mako as she pulled him into a hug. Instantly Taris let out a purr from habit as he nuzzled his head into the girl's hug. " Time to go home Tarie! Muma said she's making spaghetti today! YUM! "Taris nodded before waving a goodbye to Freddy and leaving, Freddy waving back with a smile on his face.
My first friend...why ever knew someone would want to be friends with me? Freddy thought before his father came and took him home.
(
Taris is my first Mako and this is before the little girl died! So the girl who cared for him is the one calling him 'Tarie' and hugging him!)
