After yesterday's disaster of a fruit hall, we still managed to keep the few pieces of Zest Bomb and Cupid's Grenades. I had a rough nights sleep on account of Brittany rambling to Alph about me. I could hear their conversation even from my bedroom.
"What he did was unforgivable, Alphie! Absolutely vile!" She stomped her foot. "Yes, but I promise his heart was in the right place!" He said, sitting in his rolling chair. "How could that possibly been the case, Alphie?! Ugh! He's so ridiculous!" "Don't judge a book by its cover, Brittany," Alph put his hand on her shoulder. "You always use that excuse against me," Her ears straightened. "Well, it's not an excuse. I'm just telling you to be less judgemental about him. He's done nothing but try to be nice to you, and you've been nothing but rude to him in return," Alph scrunched his nose. "Because I don't trust him. Sure, he's a famous war veteran or whatever, but I don't care. He's still a person to me." "Well you sure haven't been treating him like one. Just give him a chance. That whole mess you went through months ago wasn't his fault, and you shouldn't take your anger out on him because of it, " Alph patted Brittany's shoulders with both of his hands.
Brittany sighed and looked away from Alph, her ears drooping. Alph rolled his chair back a little bit as he sighed and let his ears droop too. He then looked back up at Brittany.
"Look, I know it was rough getting over that whole situation, but it's far behind you now. You can't keep letting the past linger on in your head for this long. You've got the present and the future to look forward to, after all!" Alph smiled. "Yea, you're right.. Sorry for yelling," Brittany smiled a little. "I'm not the one you should be apologizing to, Brittany, and you know it," Alph smirked and folded his arms. "Fiiiine, I'll go say I'm sorry if it makes you shut up, hehe," She stood up and began to walk to my room.
I heard a knock at my door, and of course I knew who it was. I walked over and opened the door to see Brittany looking down all shy-like, which is a side of her I hadn't seen yet.
"I uh.. Came to apologize, sir," She twiddled her thumbs, "About what I said today.." "Go on, then," I folded my arms with a neutral expression. "I'm really sorry," Her ears drooped, "And uh, I hope you can forgive me, and yadayadayada." "Heheh, It's alright. It was pretty stupid of me not to scan the creature before assuming it was fruit," I chuckled, scratching the back of my head. "Yea, it was kinda stupid.. B-But I guess your heart was in the right place..?" She playfully blinked her eyes a little. "Heheh.. Yea.. "
Though it was only a minute, it felt like an eternity while I stared into her eyes. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and boy could I see deep into them. She had the cutest little brown eyes, and I could see a lot of pride in those eyes, but also a little anxiety. After what Alph told me yesterday, I don't blame her for feeling anxious. I might be a tough looking guy on the outside, but I'm actually a big softie. A prime example? I collect rubber ducks and have a pet duck. Ducks are my passion, but right now, I'm feeling more passionate about Brittany...
