Never again

Our little secret

"Yes I do Gorou, it's very pretty" I said gazing at the ocean. It's 4pm, the sun is setting, I saw the beautiful sky turn into pink and purple shade.

"I'm glad you like it Ms. Kokomi" Gorou smiled at me with his tail wiggling. Gorou's expression is really... pretty to me. What am I saying?..

"Ms. Kokomi, would you like to see a little hut I built near here?" Gorou stood up and offered his hand.

"Is it so you can wait for an enemy to ambush?" I asked.

"Uhm.. No, it's just a place I go to when I want to relax and admire the pretty view." Gorou said smiling awkward.

"Oh, sure." I took Gorou's hand and walked to the left side of the beach. Holding Gorou's hand made me feel happy. It's like a tingly feeling within me. I probably ate something bad.. But, I don't feel like puking or anything. I shrugged the feeling off.

"Here we are Ms. Kokomi! sorry if it's not that built good, It's just mostly me here." The hut was like any ordinary ry hut, I'm surprised he managed to build this at our age. It had two seats in it.

"Gorou, why are there two chairs if it's only you here?"

"Well, It's kinda embarrassing to tell Ms. Kokomi.." Gorou scratched his head turning red.

"I won't judge Gorou, I'm sure that it's a perfectly good reason."

"You see, I really wanted to make a friend and bring them here. But no one would be friend with me because of my looks. They called me names. I was planning on removing the other chair today, up until we met Ms. Kokomi" He smiled at me with his rosy cheeks and I couldn't help but feel bad for him and smile at the time.

"Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that Gorou." I said.

"It's fine Ms. Kokomi, here have a seat." Gorou pulled the seat out and I sat down. He sat down beside me and we just admired the beautiful view. It was like, I was free from something. I don't know what it is but I am.

Gorou kept turning his head aside and turning red. Is he sick? oh no.

"Gorou why are you turning red? Are you sick in any way? Do you need an aid?" I said concerned.

"I-It's not that Ms. Kokomi.. It's just I never really expected you to want to be friends with me. I mean you're so beautiful and smart, I'm just the weird kid who moved here." Gorou looked rather flustered.

"Oh, well I don't think you're weird Gorou, in-fact I think you're good looking and unique." I said wanting to cheer him up.

"M-Ms. Kokomi, l-let's change t-the topic!" He looked very flustered and his face was as red as a ripped tomato. I find it really cute when he turns red.

"Are there any other places this pretty beyond the island, Gorou?" I wanted to see more pretty sights before I go home. Wait, I need to get home! My parents would do terrible things to Gorou if they found out!

"There's this-" but before Gorou could finish.

"Gorou, I need to go home! my parents will do for who knows what to you!" I grabbed Gorou and sprinted across the sea and the sun sets more into the water. All I could think of was getting home and not harming Gorou at any cause. My parents would absolutely freak if they knew I went out. Finally we arrived right as the sun was gone.

"Gorou, I'm really sorry if I have to go." I said being upset that I'd have to leave Gorou for the night.

"It's ok Ms. Kokomi! maybe we can meet tomorrow?" Gorou asked as if he wanted to spend more time with me. Just as he said that, the was a guard who caught us.
