The old woman's words kept spinning inside his mind. Now, let's think about the situation carefully. He had just answered the door and the old woman said she was thankful that Mellow didn't left the house, then suddenly a young boy with brown hair and bright hazel eyes walked up next to her. And now he was instructed to look after the mysterious boy. The whole situation left Mellow speechless.

Currently, the boy is sitting on the couch after a short shower with a dull expression on his face.

Mellow took a glance at the boy and sighed. It all happened so fast, too sudden, actually. He went to the bathroom and came outside a few minutes later with a dark blue towel in his left hand.

"hey, use this to wipe yourself ", he said and held out the towel towards the boy. The boy said nothing and took the towel.

"sheesh, not even a little thank you?", Mellow irritated inside his thoughts. "You know, it won't hurt to say thank you when someone is helping you", he thought out loud. His words caused the boy to frozed. "crap", he thought. He could've just let it go, not that it matters to him if the boy was ill mannered or-

"Thank you.. for the towel... ", he heard the boy muttered.

....

Well would you look at that, perhaps the midget wasn't that bad after all. Maybe there's a chance for the two of them to get along as roommates. He took a seat right next to the boy and helped him wiped his hair off.

"it'll take days for it to dry", he teased. "Face the other way for a bit", he said and started rubbing the boy's head with the towel properly. The boy sat still throughout the hair drying session. Small blushes had appeared on both of his cheeks.

"by the way, what's your name? Since you're going to stay here for while, might as well we get to know each other", he stated. The boy took a second and replied, "Remon, my name is Remon". Listening to his voice clearly, Mellow felt a little proud now that the boy warmed up to him. "Rem, huh? Mine's Melloriew"

"Meloriyu?", Rem repeated.

"Mel-lo-ri-ew", he pronounced in dramatic way. "But I think it's easier to call me Mellow, since almost everyone calls me that", he said briefly as he continues to dry Rem's hair.

"Mellow.. ", Rem whispered.

"hm? Did you say something?"

Rem immediately shook his head, bashfully. He liked the way Mellow's name sounded.

"....alright, you're done!", Mellow gave Rem a pat on the head and got off the couch. "come with me for a bit, i need to pick out some clothes for you". He walked passed the kitchen and threw the damp towel into the laundry basket from the bathroom entrance before entering his room. Rem followed suit.
