Since We Have Fallen In Love... [Garrance AU] {Book 2} (Completed)

Chapter 3: The Box

*Garroth's POV*

Let's see~

I grabbed the nearest chair, pulling it over to the closet. I flung open the closet door, standing up on the chair. I reached up, grabbing the box that Laurance doesn't allow me to touch.

~Flashback~

"Hey, Laurance, what's this?" I curiously asked, pulling out the medium-sized cardboard box from the closet.

Laurance noticed my gesture, his face flushing red. He quickly grabbed the box from me, biting his lip. I cocked my head, staring at him in confusion.

"Uh...don't touch this, Garroth. It's...private," Laurance nervously chuckled, putting the box on the highest shelf.

"Why? What do you keep in there? P-"

"Please don't finish that! I don't even wanna know what your guess is!" Laurance's blush got darker, and he covered his face with his hands. "Just...don't touch that box."

I've never seen him get flustered over something so small before...

Damn it! Now I'm even more curious!

"But, Laurance~!" I whined, sticking out my bottom lip.

"Nope! Just forget that it exists."

I am going to find out what you're hiding from me, Laurance...

~Flashback Over~

I excitedly hopped down, box hugged close to my chest. I giggled a little, sitting on the floor. I started to open the box, before I heard a smashing sound.

I whipped my head around, to see our room door, now off the hinges. I glared at Laurance who stood in the open doorway, crossing my arms and shaking my head. Laurance took heavy breathes, leaning against the doorway.

"Laurance! Breaking doors is my thing! You stole this from me!" I complained, pouting.

Laurance shook his head, holding his shoulder. "Damn it, Garroth. That hurts. You are some kind of freak, for being able to do that."

I rolled my eyes, holding Laurance's 'secret' box, hugging it to my chest. Once Laurance caught his breath. He stormed over to me, glaring. I glared back, smirking a little.

"Garroth, give me it back!"

"No! I'm tired of you hiding things from me! I want to see what's inside!"

"Curiosity killed the cat, Garroth!" Laurance balled his fists, face red. Though, I'm not sure if it was from anger or embarrassment.

"Good thing I'm not a cat!" I stood up, backing up with the box.

Laurance stormed towards me again, still holding his glare. I teasingly began to open the box, watching his blush get darker by the second. What in the world could cause him to get this way? What does he have in here?

"Please, Garroth! Don't open it!" Laurance pleaded, standing still. "I-I'll give you anything you want!"

"Anything?" I smirked.
