Red? Check. Yellow? Check. Blue? Check. Perfect. Hi, I am Garroth. I am an expert painter. I also have a crush. Her name is Aphmau. I decided to try and paint her a picture of her dog, Celeste.

I grabbed my paintbrush and dipped it in some water. Then I got some black and white and started painting. It was looking good, but it needed something better. I splashed a bunch of colors all over it, just missing the dog. Perfect! Blue splotches, purple, pink, it looked great! It needed more though. This was for my crush, it had to be perfect.

It needed more colors.

Magenta, pink, violet, rose gold, mint green, as many as possible. It had to be perfect!


...

I walked up to her house. The painting was dry. It looked perfect. I hid it behind my back. I knocked on the door, and her mom answered. "Why, hello Garroth! Are you looking for Aphmau?" 

"Yes ma'am."

"Well, she went out to Olive Garden with Aaron, honey! You could go see her!" Aaron. "S-she went with Aaron?" She nodded. "You didn't know? They became boyfriend and girlfriend today! They are on their first date!" My whole world felt sad and hardened then. Aphmau has a boyfriend now? And, it's with my enemy. I felt like this painting meant nothing. I could tell her mom saw something was up.

"You liked her, didn't you?"

I nodded, and then fought back the tears to respond. "Y-yes, and I made her a painting." I croaked. I showed her the painting and she gasped. "It's beautiful!!!! All the patterns and the circles, and the colors..."

She looked deeper and her eyes widened. "A hidden message too... it says... 'I have a crush on you.'" I swear I saw a tear drip from her eye. "This... this is beautiful. I feel so bad for you, Garroth! The thing is, I don't like Aaron at all either." I managed to smile a bit. "Could you please take it inside and then give it to her when she arrives?" She nodded. "Bye Garroth, I'm so sorry!" I waved.

She was such a nice lady.

Later that day...

Aphmau's POV

"Bye Aaron!" I called as I ran to my house and he smiled. "See you later Aph!" As soon as I walked inside and closed the door, my mother appeared with the most  beautiful painting ever, and my eyes widened. 

"This is from one of your friends." She said. "I guess my friends really like me, because this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" I gazed at the painting. It was a picture of my dog, Celeste. And around it were so many colors. Gold, pink, green. You name it, it was probably on there.

I looked at it closer. It had a hidden message in it. I could just make out the words 'I have a crush on you.'

My eyes widened.

"D- do they know I have a boyfriend?"

"Yes..."

I suddenly felt super bad. "Who made this?"

"Garroth. Garroth made it."

My whole world dropped. Garroth? My best friend? Oh no...
