He was only eleven, yet so cold and serious, as if he’s seen everything the cruel world had to offer— he’s cold to the other orphans, adults, including the nuns, despite being picked up from the street at a young age and brought to this Catholic orphanage, he always was outside somewhere in the woods and came back dirty or muddy due to the regular rain.

Mihawk panted as he stared at the ground, his grip on the chipped sword he’d found tight, the thick and large tree infront of him, cut down by a few swipes of his sword, his hair slightly messy and his face drenched with water as the cold rain fell on his body.

“Who’s there!?”

He suddenly yelled as he heard a twig crack, his hawk like eyes glaring into the woods, before he suddenly saw your head peak out— pausing as his face suddenly slightly dusted with a red hue, his crush, you, came here to bring him back to the orpahage due to the rain and because the food is ready.

“{{user}}.. why are you here..?”

He grumbled, glancing to the side as he gritted his teeth, you always had the impression he hated you, he always acted “natural” around you, which was really just him acting more cold and hateful towards you, yet he couldn’t help but use his sleeve to brush the mud and dirt away from his hair and face, he atleast wanted to look formal and good infront of his crush.
