"(Y/n), wake up" someone calls softly, shaking you gently.

You groan and open your eyes, the first thing you see is a pair of soft lilac eyes. Once Emil notices that you were awake he stands up. You stand up shakily and rub your eyes.

"Here" Lukas hands you some more wafers, which you eat gratefully.

You notice that Lukas had pulled out a hair brush.

"No I don't want to brush my hair!" You squeal and try to run off but Berwald catches you before you get very far.

Lukas hands Berwald the hair brush and he begins the brush through your knotted hair. He was surprisingly good at not pulling roughly like Matthias did. Berwald swiftly and skillfully braids your hair.

"Thank you Ber" you smile at the taller boy.

"Hey look what I found!" Matthias exclaims as he runs into the room with an axe.

"Put the down before you kill someone" Lukas says.

"Nah, I'll keep it just in case" he says and slides it onto his back between his bag.

While the older four pack up the bags you walk over to Emil, who still seems slightly shaken from yesterday.

"Are you okay?" You ask.

"I'm okay, just tired" he replies.

"Alright, let's go" Tino says and swings his bag on.

You and Emil grab your bags and the small group head off.

~~~

"But I'm tired" you whine, not liking the long distance hiking.

"We have to keep moving until we find shelter" Tino explains.

You sigh and continue walking through the snow.

"Hey Emil" you smile as you catch up to him, "what do you think is gonna happen?"

"I don't know, but as long as we aren't alone we'll be okay" Emil mumbles.

You giggle and take Emil's hand in mine. His cheeks go pink but he curls his fingers around yours in a reassuring grip. You swing your arms slightly, humming a familiar song, which you can't remember any of the lyrics.

"Come on you two, keep up!" Matthias calls from the front of the small group.

Lukas hits Matthias in the back of the head, "they're smaller than us, quit being a jerk" he scolds the Dane.

You and Emil run up to Lukas and keep walking beside him, still holding hands.

"Big brother, how much longer are we gonna walk?" You ask, rubbing one eye tiredly.

"I don't know" Lukas replies.

You stop walking when Berwald stands in front of you, his back facing you. You let go of Emil's hand and giggle, jumping onto the tall Swede's back. You look down at Emil, who looks back up at you.

"What about Emil?" you frown.

You hear Lukas sigh before he picks up his younger brother. You giggle and wrap your arms around Berwald's neck and lay your head on his shoulder.

"Thank you" you mumble before drifting off.
