The Shy Flower 
(In compilation with my newest blog topic, this'll be my story chapter!)

Ink is shy. Everyone knows that. He has a problem when it comes to speeches and talking to strangers.

Mr. Nightmare sighs. He has to get Ink to present his work. It contributes to his exam.

He plucks out a piece of  paper from the box marked "Names". 

His eyes widen. 

INK COMYET

Ink...

............................................................................................................

"I...Ink Comyet." Mr. Nightmare says.

Ink raises his head.

"You...you're up next." he says, his voice growing softer. 

Ink stiffens.

"N-n-now...?" 

"Yes..." He regrets saying that. 

Ink slowly walks up to the front of the class. A note is in his hands.

"Um..."

"..." Mr. Nightmare feels guilt washing over him.

"G...good morning...e-everyone...I'm...I'm Ink C-Comyet and I...uh..." 

Blue's eyes widen. 

"Lynx..." the white haired boy grabs Lynx's arm. "He's nervous." She immediately passes the message to Dream, who alerts his brother.

"Night!" he whispers.

The teacher looks at his brother. His gives him a 'Don't worry' look.

SPLAT!

All eyes go to the front.

Vomit covers the floor, and stains the clothes of a super embarrassed Ink. There is a trail of vomit and saliva coming from his mouth. 

"Ink...?" Blue asks. 

Lynx stands up.

Dream gives an 'Excuse me?' look to Mr. Nightmare.

The said teacher snaps a pencil. 

Tears form in Ink's eyes and he runs out the class crying.

"INK!!!" Blue runs after him.

Dream walks up his brother. "Why?" he asks. 

Mr. Nightmare buries his face deeper into his hands. "I thought...I could..." 

Blue frantically runs up and down to find his best friend. 

He's not in the classroom...

Not in the field...

Not in the hall...

WHERE IS HE?!

Lynx goes up to Bunny. "Bunny, have you seen a boy with black hair and odd coloured eyes? And a bandage on his right cheek."

The slender canteen lady turns. "Yeah. I did. He's waaaaaaay over at the kitchen."

"Ink...?" a pair of grey eyes pop up. 

A boy sits against the wall, eating strawberry jam from a jar with a spoon. He's crying while eating.

"Oh, uh..." Lynx stands out. Ink stares at her with angry eyes. 

"GO AWAY!!!" he screams, shoving more jam into his mouth. 

She doesn't leave exactly. She moves to a farther side of the kitchen, quite a good distance away from the sulking boy. 

She leans back on a wall and closes her eyes.

"Oh...we go behind the scenes...
  As we go...to...night...
  Please tell me...that this is not a dream,
 I just wanna survive..."

Ink looks at her direction.

"Please promise that I'll be okay,
 Although you know that anyway,
 I'm holding on to what I hope,
 I'm not going to stay and mope..."

Ink scoots a little closer.

"Buttercups at play,
 We are here to say,
 Life is not a sway,
 Shall we leave or stay?"

"I thought...I thought you only sing it in Runes...?" Ink asks. 

"Yes. I pretty much do. But it's also singable in English." Lynx says.

"What's it called?" 

"In Runes, it's called 'Eh doo jin dei june'. In English, it can be translated as 'Buttercups At Play'." 

"Eh doo jin dei june???" 

"Yes." Lynx stands up.

Ink stands up too.

"Weren't you...shy before too?" Ink asks.

"...I learn more things now...But I'm still very shy. It's just, I try not to think to much."

<InkyDrawz>: Mr. Nightmare?

<NiteT1me>: Oh gosh, Ink r u ok??? I'm so sry!!! 

<InkyDrawz>: I'm fine, Mr. Nightmare. But could I change my topic for the presentation?

<NiteT1me>: I suppose so...

............................................................................................................

"Oh my goodness Ink!!!" Blue screeches and hugs his bestie. "Are you alright???" 

"I'm fine, Blue." Ink says softly.

"Ink..." Mr. Nightmare says very, very softly. 

"Mr. Nightmare, I want to change it to 'Buttercups At Play'." 

Lynx spits out the water she's drinking.

"You sure?" the teacher asks. 

"Yes." 

He stands in front of them.

Focus on someone you're comfortable with.

He looks at Blue.

"Oh, you are my greatest friend,
 And I can't, let, go...
 Promise me that you will not pretend,
 Please I wanna know...

If we go to the end of Earth,
Will you be there for my rebirth?
Will you still be there by my side?
I hope I will not run and hide.

Buttercups at play,
Promise me you'll stay,
If I go today,
Please remember me..."

Blue runs up and gives his buddy the Friendship Hug, crushing the kids bones.

"Can't...breathe..." 

"Oh, sorry." He lets go of Ink.

Mrs. Toriel shows up at the door.

"Excuse me, but who ate up all the strawberry jam in the kitchen?"

Blue looks at Ink.

"Uh oh..."
