I don't like experiencing any negativity, it doesn't suit me at all

"Hey Boboiboy! I was just thinking that we could-, wait, what's wrong?" Gopal asked, taking a seat beside the Elemental hero, who, surprisingly, was not wearing his signature orange dino cap. He seemed quite distressed, or sad, or mad, or something in between.

A simple, sunny afternoon on Earth, free from the heavy burdens and responsibilities, even if only for a day. It wasn't much, but it was everything to the young hero. To somehow gently let go and cry for a bit about every recent event. It was something, even if not something major.

He turned to face Gopal, confusion plastered on his face. "Yeah I'm good, why?" Gopal does not seem convinced. Gopal's expression and tone softens, "You sure? We can talk if you want to." Boboiboy gave him a half-forced smile in return. "I'm sure"

It's normal to feel this, everyone experiences it, immortal or mortal

"It's normal to feel a little jealous Ochobot! But just know that you'll always be my partner, just like how Mechabot is dad's partner", Boboiboy tells Ochobot, smiling softly. And for that, he received a shy but accepting smile.

"And Mechabot, I know you're jealous too, but you watched me grow in my childhood. I still forever cherish my memories with you", Boboiboy said, turning to the red Powersphera. Said powersphera was hovering beside his dad, who wore an irritatingly amused expression. 

He had already expected this, discussing it over with his dad while planning their hang-out. But he knew he could handle it, ('Hopefully', Boboiboy thought hours before meeting up with them). And generally, he can say he was proud of himself for handling it well. But still, that annoying phrase from his dad during their discussion still irritates him.

I don't like being the person who is probably vulnerable and prone to fall

"But Boboiboy-!" "Guys I'm fine I swear!" "Oh yeah, like you didn't pass out for 5 days straight!"

Boboiboy mentally groaned as he fought this losing battle between him and his friends. 'This is gonna be a long argument...', Boboiboy thought, slightly annoyed & slightly exasperate.

Probably that's why I prefer to stay quiet and silently build up my wall

"You ready to head back now?" Ochobot asked, hugging the young hero tightly as though he would run away if he didn't. Well... he kinda did earlier. 

Boboiboy almost never opens up, fearing he would burden those he cares about. But when he accidentally snapped at Ochobot during an argument, it just... escalated into a venting of emotions, thoughts and feelings. He had, of course, ran out of the house, scared to face Ochobot again. But just as predicted, Ochobot eventually found him and had been comforting his best friend for the past 10 minutes.

Forcing a smile and himself to stand up, he quietly murmured, "Yeah, I'm good." And after quickly wiping his tears away, the duo made a silent journey back to Tok Aba's house.

That's not to say I hate anything negative in general, I'll gladly help if a friend does call

I wouldn't want to keep them waiting, I wouldn't want to stall

"And it's just so-, ughhh!" Fang groaned as he slammed his head repeatedly on the table. Boboiboy, just pats his shadow user friend on the back comfortingly, letting Fang release it all out before talking to him.

Yet somehow, I find myself holding a small amount of resentment

"Hey Boboiboy? Do you want to join us?" Yaya asked politely. Boboiboy looks at Yaya, then to his friends, who are having a fun game of beach volleyball, and then back at his gravity manipulator friend. "No thanks Yaya, you guys go ahead and have some fun. Plus, I'm quite tired," Boboiboy responded back, smiling softly.
