Chapter Text
Lillian gently let out a low sigh as she laid back in the bus seat, she made sure that the words she’s sung that she had learned from the songs blasting through her earphones were only a gently whisper so that the other passengers couldn’t hear, lily had always been a quiet and polite girl, at least she’d like to think so and from the multiple comments for adults all the way through her childhood, she gently lent on her hand that rested upon the window sill of the bus and gazed out the window over the passing terrain, as she did she caught a glance at her reflection in the glass...as soon as she did she closed her eyes and turned away from the window and changed her attention to the other passengers, she stared at the address on her phone from the contact “Lewis”.
After hoping off the bus and releasing now much she looked like a tourist, she only really had a bag
Of cloths and hygiene supplies for the nights stay in the cabin but the rest of her belongings were either sold or shipped a week in advance, Lillian looked around and took in a long deep breath of the fresh crisp air that now surrounded her before letting out a long gentle sigh, “ok so...the towns that way so the farm would probably be in the opposite direction if I’m not mistaken....” she gripped the strap of her backpack and pulled it over her shoulder before running down the dirt road that headed away from the town...
Before long Lillian had come to a old cabin surrounded by overgrown plants, taking a long good look at her surroundings “wow....this is gonna be a real job.......” before being able to do anything else she left a hand upon her shoulder which snapped her out of the trance she was in for a moment, she turned around to find a red headed woman who looked around her mid 30s,
“I’m sorry but your not aloud to be here, this is private property and no tourists aloud-“
“I’m sorry for the confusion but....I’m the owner of Nitefell farm... I’m Lillian Nitefell”
The red headed woman seemed to look stunned for a moment, like she was in near shock, “your Johns grandson?.....”
Lillian looked at her with a mix between confusion and lil irritated from the fact she was just called a male
“Umm excuse me?....” as she said this she pointed to her chest as if to say something she probably shouldn’t but had to be pointed out, this seemed to stun the woman even more.
After a long few hours the issue was sorted out when a older man wearing overalls showed up, apparently the name on documents was the male version of hers, but long story short everyone thinks that a man was moving into the old farm house on the hill...after all the drama that had already happened today Lillian decided to go for a walk around town, most of the townsfolk had gone inside for dinner so it was pretty quiet...but she didn’t mind, had been dying for some piece and quiet, she slowly walked around the town with her head staring at the cobblestone pavement of the town square “man....todays been stressful...”
Right after she had said those words droplets started to rain from the sky...and it didn’t take long before it started pouring, she managed to get underneath the storage’s roof of Joja mart, she checked her phone and it was already 5:03...she looked out at the rain that was pouring down, the rain already soaked through her t-shirt and her shorts, she really wasn’t dressed for this weather....and she had left her pack pack back at the house....”Least Ik to just carry it around always.....” lily gently crossed her arms and decided to wait it out, a few moments pass and she’s now ice-cold and the rain didn’t light up at all so she took a seat under cover and hugged her legs trying to stay warm.
A moment later the automatic doors to joja mart opened up and a man with dark scruffy hair stepped out and yawned, he looked exhausted but he didn’t seem to notice lily sitting beside the door, he just stood there for a while and looked out at the rain before scratching the stubble on his cheek while seeming somewhat irritated before opening his mouth to speak, “I could really use a drink right now....but this doesn’t seem to be lighting up at all....” lily gently lifted her head to look at the back of him, he was wearing pretty much the same type of clothing as her but had a old blue jumper on, “guessing you did prepare for this either?....” she said with a soft and small voice, to which the man turned around to see her, completely soaked to the skin, shivering in a ball next to the door... he looked at her with his big dark eyes which met her soft brown ones, this seemed to make her face heat up a lil before the man slowly kneeled down to her level, he seemed to be scanning her or something which was understandable with her being new and all so he just figured she was a tourist.
The man looked around at the pouring ran before looking back at her and slowly talking her jacket off and putting it on her, “put this on....” he voice was very deep and sounded intimidating, she put the jumper on which was very large on her small figure but it warmed her up pretty quick, she wiped the wet strands of hair out of her face and pulled it back behind her ears which reviled her big brown eyes and sweet smile with rosy red cheeks “ty so much.....” the male figure then just stood up and nodded before running through the ran towards another building in the distance, lily watched as he left and as he opened the door to the building before hugging herself in his jacket.
A while later she returned home and her face was still bright red, she was so overwhelmed by what had just happened she didn’t seem to mind the state of the farm or the cabin anymore, she just smiled, closed her eyes and imagined his face in her mind as she flopped onto the old farm bed her grandpa had left behind.
