Bonding

                                    

                                          
Warning: Panic attack (I'll put when it starts and when it ends)
                          
Moomin and Snufkin sat like that in comfortable silence for a few minutes. It was peaceful till My came skipping up the stairs and peeked in the room. 
                          
"OOOH~" My gasped, causing Snufkin to flinch, his eyes springing wide open. Moomin jumped at the sudden noise and quickly pulled his hand from Snufkin's.
                          
"Oh my gods! Finally!" My gasped, "You know Moomin, Snuf's been crus-" "SHUT IT, MY!" Snufkin yelled out, annoyed at the ruined peace. His face was red from embarrassment and anger. 
                          
It took Snufkin a second to realize he had just yelled at his sister, while My looked a little taken aback. "I-" Snufkin mumbled, feeling small regret pluck at his chest.  
                          
————-Panic attack warning————
(Everyone has panic attacks different, this is just how I've had mine and I'm not good at writing this kinda stuff so please forgive the bad writing)

                          
He was starting to freak out and he couldn't tell why. He didn't mean to yell at her. He didn't want to make My feel bad, she didn't know what was happening between them. 
                          
Little My was someone who was practically always there for him when he needed her. He didn't want her to not like him cause of this. 
                          
Snufkin found it getting kinda hard to breath, and felt the need to scratch his arms. "Snuf, you need to breath!" Moomin said from beside him. 
                          
Was he breathing fast? Was he skipping breaths? What was happening? Snufkin couldn't tell as he watched My seem to freak out for a second, walking closer to him.
                          
"Snufkin, hey, listen to me, you need to breath." My said calmly while looking at him. 
                          
Snufkin's face felt hot and he felt a headache coming on. His arms stung, why did his arms sting. Snufkin could feel hot tears on his skin. He hadn't even realized he was crying. 
                          
Snufkin flinched at the feeling of something on his hand. His head snapped over to see Moomin's hands on his own. His own arms looked kinda red. 
                          
had he been scratching himself? 
                          
Snufkin looked up at Moomin, seeing his soft eyes and his sweet smile. "Snufkin, you need to calm down, breath." Moomin said calmly, and Snufkin tried to apply. Taking deep shaky breaths in when he could. 
                          
————Warning over————
{Basically Snuf has a panic attack cause he was worried that My would start thinking of him differently cause he yelled at her like he did and Moomin and My calmed him down}

                          
It took a while but Snufkin had soon calmed down while My rubbed his back calmly. Snufkin wipes his tears, he didn't like crying it had always felt weird to him. 



                          
—————————



                          
A couple days later Snufkin sat out where he usually did, watching as a leaf that fell into the water danced down the river. 
                          
It was really calm for him, but kinda hectic for the others he knew who were planning the party. He didn't mind being alone these past few days. It made him feel kinda good honestly.
                          
It was peaceful sitting alone until Snufkin was joined by someone. He watched Joxter lay down beside him in the grass. Snufkin looked away again, if Joxter wanted to talk to him he could start it.
                          
"You cut off all your hair." Joxter said simply, his arms behind his head acting like a type of cushion. "Yep." Snufkin answered back with little emotion in his voice.
                          
It took a minute for anyone to speak up again. Although the silence wasn't even awkward like Snufkin thought it would be. 
                          
It was surprisingly comfortable. 
                          
"Are you trans?" Joxter said right out which surprised Snufkin. "Wha-" Snufkin asked a little. He was, but he was shocked Joxter came to that conclusion so quick.
                          
"Just a question, I would like to know if I should call you son instead of daughter." Joxter was calmer then Snufkin had seen him since he was small. 
                          
Then again, you could only be so calm in a house full of about 36 kids running around. 
                          
"Yeah. I am." Snufkin answered mimicking the calm tone Joxter had. 
                          
"i fUCKinG kNeW IT! Moominpappa owes me $20!" Joxter said happily, sitting up quickly. "Wha-" Snufkin was gonna ask, but realized he kinda expected this from his dad. 
                          
"Anyways, just know I'll support you whatever you do." Joxter smiled at his son, setting his pipe in his mouth. 
                          
"Gods that was so fucking sappy." Snufkin rolled his eyes but cracked a smile. "Was I supposed to say something else!?" Joxter asked but couldn't help but smile aswell. 
                          
"Nope. That was perfect." Snufkin made an ok hand and couldn't help but laugh a little. It was another comfortable silence for a minute while Snufkin watched the river run.
                          
......
                          
"You wanna go do something illegal?" "Absolutely." 







                          
Joxter and Snufkin sat in an empty field, watching some signs burn in a small fire they started. Joxter threw in another before tossing Snufkin an apple. Snufkin bit into the apple he caught and watched the paint burn off of the sign. 
                          
"I hope you know one day someone's gonna find you for all the things you've done." Snufkin commented in a slightly joking tone, and Joxter shrugged. 
                          
"Guess that means I cant stop till that day comes. And don't act like you don't do the same I do." Joxter joked back while he watched the wood burn. 

                          
Moomin smiled while Snorkmaiden showed off outfits she decided she could wear to the party and they both talked.
                          
"You shouldn't wear that color, in doesn't work on you." Moomin shrugged and Snorkmaiden gasped in a fake offended tone. "I thought I looked pretty in everything!" She fake pouted.
                          
"Yes you do, everything but that color and you know it too." Moomin laughed playfully and Snorkmaiden smiled. "Rude, but true." She replied.
                          
"If your trying to impress My— like I know you are" Moomin mumbled the last part and Snorkmaiden blushed. "You should wear the second one you showed me with a flower crown." Moomin said, his head now hanging off the edge of Snorkmaiden's bed. 
                          
Snorkmaiden smiled, "That's the one I was gonna choose anyways!" She said smiling. "Then what was the point in me helping you pick the out?" Moomin asked.
                          
"I was bored and we haven't been hanging out lately." Snorkmaiden answered. "Now, get over here and put this outfit on." "What, no-" Moomin answered, seeing Snorkmaiden glance at him through the corner of her eyes.
                          
"Ok, ok, damn-" Moomin complied, rolling off of her bed and going over to her.
                          
"You're gonna wear this to the party." Snorkmaiden stated. "But-" "Nope, go try it on."
