Chapter Text
'Len, look at me!' Jamie yelled, there was a beaming smile on his face. The eight year old boy was covered in leaves and mud. He had decided that he wanted to dress up as those people from so long ago. Neanderthals, yes, that's what they were called, if Jamie recalled correctly.
Len rolled his eyes exasperatedly at Jamie's antics. Although, there was a small smile on his face. Jamie's actions always amused Len, the kid could be so careless. Len loved those moments the best.
It was a nice day outside, the suns were shining and there were, in fact, birds flying around. For some reason, it wasn't a warzone this day, it was nice and friendly. Nothing bad had happened so far. Everyone's spirit was high, maybe this was a good omen for the future.
'Jamie, you're ridiculous.' Sammy said, the boy was lying on a small patch of grass.
Jamie suddenly advanced upon Len and tackled him. Len fell in the dirt with a loud thud, and he grumbled loudly. This was what Jamie always did when they were messing around.
Jamie rushed away, so Len couldn't take revenge on him. One day, Len would get back to Jamie. He would organise the best prank ever. And Jamie would be mind blown. Len brushed the dirt away and got up from the ground.
Before Len realised what was happening, Jamie and Sammy were wrestling with each other. For a moment Len was worried that the brothers were actually fighting, it wasn't the first time that had happened. Then he noticed the smiles on the boys' faces, they were laughing.
'Sammy, I'll totally beat you.' The two boys were circling around each other
'Jamie, I'm way taller than you are.' Jamie tsk'ed at that and tried to tackle his brother again.
Len wanted to kick their butts for making him worry, but he would never ruin these moments for them. They were rare.
Len ran towards them, and with a swift motion he successfully tackled both of them. Both of the boys stared at Len with astonishment. Len cheekily smiled at the them.
'I hate the two of you, and you will never beat me. I'm the master of tackling and wrestling. So, deal with it!' Len thought that the two boys would now attempt to get back to him, but they didn't.
'Aww, Len we love you.'
Both Jamie and Sammy hugged Len as tightly as they could. Len couldn't help but smile and return the embrace.
The fact that thousands of people had passed away, they were in the middle of a warzone, and they had to take care of each other in order to survive. It didn't matter at the moment.
On this day, they actually got to be children for once.
Really The End
