Pucca Oneshots

Envy, The Pigtailed Ninja

Note: I just wanted to say, I absolutely hated writing part of this so it may seem rushed—

MUAH! MUAH!

A kiss barrage from Pucca... once again. Garu sighed in defeat and hid away his flushed face as the girl giddily skipped off with a satisfied grin.

He glared as she left, yet thought to himself, How does she make him feel like this? How does she have the power to make him feel... vulnerable to her?

He let out a hiss of annoyance and ran off to his house, to contemplate his feelings in a more... secluded area.

...

He had finally returned, and sat in a meditating position. Now he could finally think...

But all he could concentrate his mind on was... her. Her smile, her voice, her determination, the way she handles her foes without struggle or hesitation....

Garu felt his face turn more red and he shook his head, standing back up. There was no way he was falling for a girl like her! That would dishonor his entire clan.

Well... he kept the vow to never speak and upheld it ever since. There was no way he couldn't handle the vow to not fall in love.

Right...?

...

Of course, Garu found himself in another fight with Tobe. He half-listened to the other boy rambling the same old monologue that would never come true, why he even tried anymore, Garu didn't know. He was still on the fence on whether Tobe was purely insane or just an idiot...

Knowing Tobe, probably both.

But of course, their battle was cut short by a certain girl, as she came running over to Garu, giggling profusely.

Garu yelped in shock and bolted in Tobe's direction, then swiftly went past him.

"Today, Garu, you shall— eh? Wait, I wasn't finished yet!— oh dear." He said, noticing mid-sentence that Pucca was running straight towards him.

He shouted in fear, but didn't have enough time to run, instead, Pucca came crashing into him, and fell on top of him.

Garu continued running, until he looked back, realizing Pucca wasn't chasing him anymore. He skidded to a halt and stopped to see why.

His heart dropped at what he saw.

Pucca was right on top of Tobe, looking like she was pinning him to the floor. Tobe could easily tell how mad she was, and held his tongue before blurting out insults at her.

"Uh— um... are.. you.. okay?" He asked nervously to get on her good side. Pucca huffed and stood up on her own, crossing her arms as she looked around for Garu, really frustrated.

Tobe slowly stood up and dusted himself off, then scratched the back of his head in awkwardness. Until the idiot had an idea to calm the girl down so she would cave his head in.

"So... Garu, huh? Since he... ran away from you, how's to say uhh... we can get some... noodles?"

Garu couldn't believe his ears, Tobe asking Pucca out... to get FOOD together!? That was practically a date!

He gripped his chest, feeling a sharp and weird feeling, one that he hasn't felt ever since the time his clone grew its own conscience and Pucca practically abandoned him.

Was this... envy?

No, it couldn't be. Pucca would no longer able to bother him and mess around with his feelings if she went with Tobe. He... should've been happy, right?
