The Story of Nakamura

We have currently been walking for what seems nearly the whole day. We left everything behind. Since he didn't want to risk stopping by my house he let me borrow his pair of spare clothes.. although, they are far too big.

I'm okay with it though. They seem to smell of him too. Oddly enough, he smells nice.

"We've been walking for quite some time, haven't we? How about we stop here?"

"Okay, sure. B-but where will we sleep?"

"I'll make us a shelter of course!"

He's such an interesting person.. he seems happy but.. at the same time he has this weird aura surrounding him.

"How will you do that? Are you crazy?"

"Are you crazy Nakamura? I can't just waltz into a market expecting not to get caught. They will sentence me to a public beheading for sure. That silly count had quite the reputation."

He rolled his eyes.. he talks about killing those people in such an unserious manner. He really has some issues but oh well.

I sigh.

"What are you sighing for? Regretting following me? Don't worry, it's not like I'm gonna kill you too. I have no interest in killing people that don't deserve it. I don't quite enjoy it as much."

I stare at him in shock. What an odd thing to say..

"Oh no.. don't look at me like that Nakamura. I promise I'm not as much of a freak as it seems."

"If you say so."

"By the way, can I know your name? I don't want to have to tug on you everytime I want to say something.. i-it's weird.."

"You're cute mura. You can call me Sandro."

"Now that we have arrived at a resting spot, would you like to go find a lake to wash off?"

"W-wash off?! I-I can't do so with you around.."

"Sure you can. I need to wash off too so I'll be too busy paying attention to myself."

"I had the chance to wash my clothes last night but unfortunately I wasn't able to get into the water myself.."

"S-sure.. I suppose we should go find a lake then. I-is there even one around here?"

"Oh yeah! You best believe there is. We need to do some hiking though. You want me to carry you up?"

He smirks at me.. what a pervert. Seems he's similar to the other men.. but at least he's not trying to touch me yet.. hopefully not ever.

"Oh come on.. I'm just messing with you."

As he says that he begins to form a clear frown on his face. It seems very jokingly though. Whatever I might aswell play along,

"Don't pout Sandro.. how old are you anyways? You shouldn't be messing with somebody of my age."

"I'm 19. And you?"

"W-well I'm 17.. but now that I say that phrase I guess it's not out of the ordinary in high nobility. In fact it's quite normal."

"Why are you trying to justify it all of a sudden? I guess you just can't resist me. Is that right?"

What is with that awful smile..

"That's definitely not what I was intending to make it sound like.."

__________

After trying to climb the hill almost barefoot I stepped on something sharp and immediately gave up. I ended up letting him carry me...

We arrive at the lake and..

"Wow. This is beautiful! H-how did you know this was here?"

"You could say I've been around. I've been on the run for quite some time now."

"W-what are you doing Sandro?! W-wait!"

He stops and looks at me.

"What's the matter? I'm just getting ready to get in. Is that such a problem Mura?"

"S-stop calling me that! And yes! You're being very inappropriate.."

"D-don't continue!!"

"Quit whining. I have to wash off one way or another and I certainly can't wash off properly fully clothed, can I?"

I look away. I wait for him to get into the water before taking my clothes off. He seems busy now so I suppose I can start.. it's not like he hasn't seen me unclothed.

I get in the water. It's cold.. freezing in fact. Bumps start to form on my skin from the sheer coldness of the water but I persevere anyways.

I need to get this blood and.. whatever you want to call this substance, off of me.

As I start rinsing my body off with the cold water I look over at Sandro. He has medium length hair, but quite long for a male. His tan skin stands out from everybody else in the village. And his toned body is even more mesmerizing.

I can't help but look.. I'm no better than the people that used me.

As I start to glance my eyes lower on his body I notice him looking back at me..

"What are you doing? And you called me a pervert!pfft!"

"S-stop! Don't tease me.. I-I'm sorry!! I-I'll look away.. forgive me please."

He's walking towards me!! What do I do.. p-please don't do anything to me.. I thought you were good..

As the memories and flashbacks start flooding into my mind I feel him start touching my hair. My whole body jumps as a reaction.

"Let me help you Nakamura."

He starts rinsing my hair. What is he thinking? I can't help but wonder what's on his mind. He's a strange man.

"F-fine! But don't you dare touch anything else, got it?!"

"Of course I won't. What do you take me for Nakamura?"

Obviously I take you as a strange man that I don't know anything about. Just why is he so comfortable with me already.
