Route I

My eyes frantically followed the fast moving light that wove through the branches above my head. I raced towards the speck as it sped away through the thick bushes. All of a sudden, the light disappeared, leaving me all alone and completely lost. All I could see was tall trees surrounding me. All I could hear was my own frantic breathing as I panicked, trying to find where that light went.

THUD. The impact on the ground broke the eerie silence of the forest. I curiously went to investigate the strange groaning sound that was coming from behind a bush. Lying on the ground was a young man. His face was slightly tanned and golden freckles littered his soft-looking cheeks. His messy light brown hair glistened at the moonlight shone on his face, highlighting his perfectly pink lips and cross earring. His white off hoodie was slightly torn by the sharp branches and his white Converses were streaked with mud and grass stains.

"Excuse me, are you alright? I heard you fall out of that tree" I said, looking curiously at the man who was barely moving. No response. I went to tap his shoulder but he sat up all of a sudden, his face coming dangerously close to my face. His eyes widened at the sudden closeness.

"Are you gonna back up or..." I awkwardly asked.

"Oh sorry. I just thought that your eyes are really pretty." he replied, smiling at me. His voice was deep and smooth, making me lose track of what I was thinking. He waved his hand in from of my face, breaking me out of the trance he put me under. "Are you alright? You've been zoned out for a while now.

"I-I'm fine. Are you alright? You just fell out of a tree." I said in an attempt to hide my nervousness. I'm quite a shy person so meeting new people is a struggle, especially if they're from a parallel universe.

"It's kind of a daily thing. I play hide and seek with my brothers sometimes and I always end up falling out of a tree."

"If you make that much noise when you fall out of a tree, anybody could find you. I could hear you from a mile away." I said. He ruffled his hair slightly and blushed a little.

"So that's why I'm so bad at hide and seek. I always get found first." he said bashfully, I laughed a little at him and he smiled. He's so clumsy and friendly. If he's such a cute and nice person, I wonder how his brothers are. The trees rustled slightly and light footsteps could be heard as someone was approaching.

"My brothers are nearby. I gotta run before they catch me first again" he said in a hurry. He was about to rush off but I quickly grabbed his hoodie sleeve, making him turn back around.

"I didn't catch your name. My name is _____. Yours is...?"
