The Couple Who Lived Under The Lopsided Shed

Summary:

A short tale about the curious lopsided shed, and the couple who lived under it.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

There was a newly wed couple in the town. The two men, one clad in red, one in white, lived under a lopsided shed, in the middle of a little field that came with it.

Every day, they tended to the field, then rest under the lopsided shed.

Every day, they drank tea together under the lopsided shed.

Every day, they held hands, so tender and affectionate, watching the sun set, under the lopsided shed.

And so the sun set, again and again.

And so would the sun rose, upon them, again and again.

How warm were the days, under the lopsided shed.

Who knows how long have the couple been there. It's as if they have been there forever, and they very well might have been.

No matter how much time have passed, no matter who took a glance at the two, the thoughts that crossed people mind are the same: such a simple shed, such a simple life, and such a wonderfully simple love.

Notes:

I was having a little family trip, and reminded of a peculiar story.

When I was a child, on the way home from school, me and my friends always passed by a lopsided shed. It always drew intrigue from me and my friends. We would make up stories about the shed. We pointed two people from the group. We then made up stories about how they were married and that odd shed was where they lived.

I pitied those two who got shipped out of nowhere by their peers, teased every time they came home from school.

But at least, their story now made for a cute fic that I think would fit hualian.
