Grimm POV

As long as I have lived I've learnt to expect the worst out of people, that way the pain of losing your expectations can never really hurt you. But ever since leaving my past behind I don’t know if that line of thinking is completely true, sure there was that one child Kenneth. But compared to the beatings I'd get daily back then this doesn’t even phase me. What I found unexpected was the kindness of people like Miss Samantha..or rather Samantha calling her by Miss just doesn’t seem right at least I don’t want to call her that in my head. I shouldn’t just call her that out allowed, it might be rude… Sister Kate is just like that too, kind and patient qualities I've not seen in any people before. She's nice to me, even if she is slightly mischievous, I should take care not to be the target of her teasing though. I don’t particularly dislike it either[when the S is willing a M will arrive*] , I get the feeling she does that to everyone she cares about.

We walk down more corridors as she shows me the various departments of the orphanage . It really is a big place and the departments are numerous. We arrive at the canteen where I can see a few children my age sitting around tables discussing and laughing in their own conversations, the atmosphere is different here, almost calming even though it's anything but quiet. All of them are just lost in merriment without a care in the world. I observe them all them, their actions ,their laughter ,their smiles, their happiness. Will I ..ever be like this? I wonder, will I be happy here too?

Sister Kate tugs on my hand and smiles at me knowingly. "This is your home now too Grimm." My home she says. My home. I feel my chest fill with something, so light and fluffy is the texture of this feeling that I think I make take off in flight, that I could be burst with happiness. I feel my eyes mist and my mouth curl into a smile.

I think I like smiling, whenever I do Sister Kate's eye widen and so does her smile. I want to see her smile more, I want to share this feeling of happiness.

Sister Kate pulls me in the direction of some trays," come on you let's get you something to eat". I follow her lead. We pick up our trays and que up to the line. There is a large woman on the other side of the table serving food into the trays of people in front of me. She has a cheery smile on her face as she happily puts food on the plates of the other people making casual conversation as she does. Sister Kate greets her when we arrive.

"Afternoon sister Margret"

The woman somehow manages to smile even deeper and answers back "well if it ain't sister Kate, come to grace us with your presence have ya? Bought time, I was wondering why we still had so much food leftover"

Sister Kate pouts " I don’t eat that much" she says in a huff

"Sure , sure your holiness, you don’t eat much when compared to a grown adult elephant" .

"That’s big coming from you" Sister Kate mocks back

"Of course it is, I do everything big and I still manage to eat less than you" she says back with no ill will present in her tone at all.

They go back and forth for a while but eventually Sister Kate makes way for me to get my food, but not before filling her tray to the brim with one of every type of food on the menu, it seems sister Margret wasn't kidding about her appetite being rather large. Almost to the point of it being borderline gluttony[oi that’s a sin you know..].Sister Kate seems to notice my glance and hides the tray defensively and blushes slightly "I won't give you any so don’t ask " .

Sister Margret's roaring laugh is what meets Sister Kate's unwillingness to part with her lunch." That’s not very sister-like now is it Sister Kate ". Sister Kate is pouting and I stifle my own laughter, but the change from her usual demeanor is just too much to bear and I laugh out loud.[gap moe is best moe]

Both Sisters look at my direction as my own laughter dies down, my face still holds a smile though and it shows no sign of leaving.

"And who would this little angel be?" Sister Margret say finally , "you been hiding this one away from us now Sister Kate?" she says accusatorily towards Sister Kate, who just smiles in response and introduces me to the very cheery lady.

"Say hello Grimm , Sister Margret doesn't bite …much"

"Oi , watch your mouth , I'm harmless ", she turns to me again "hello little angel I'm sister Margret." she reaches out her hand and I hear Sister Kate draw in a breath. I stare at the hand for a second . If it were me a day ago, I would have recoiled completely away from the hand as if it were the worst poison on the planet.

But I'm not the same person I was back then, I'm not the sad little boy who is scared of being alone anymore. So I reach out and grasp the large hand that is extended before me and shake the hand of this overly enthusiastic woman with a smile on my face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sister Margret, my name is Grimm "

================================================================================

* when the S is willing a M will arrive, play on the old saying when the Student is ready the Master will arrive but the S&M stand for sadomasochism and Grimm is the M here because the S (sister Kate) has awakened and I'd have to masochistic because I just killed my own joke by explaining it .

THEY GROW UP SO FAST (╥_╥) Grimm is turning into a complete normie ! dammit!! .Turning into a functioning human being and shit

Seriously though , this is character development the limit of my ability. So for now that is that.

my writing playlist decided to play "c'mon -panic at the disco " just when they hit the lyrics about " all the possibilities" when I wrote the last part of this little chapter. It's the little things that really make me happy . prefect little moments like this. My basic taste in music aside

This was a good chapter, some more shoddy character development. Grimm awakens to the wonders of an M (no police no .I was just kidding… he said he was sixteeeeeeeennnnn) none of that though …What he's like 7 ! seriously I'm trying to write a professional amateur story here

I'll make this clear right here and now. There will be no depictions of sex in any way shape and form at all in this novel….

For Now( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
