"Hey Rikkun," I say, "Why the tapes?" She puts on her shoes, "I was never good at opening up." "But why?"
She stands up, "Because, it's just me." She sighs. I go over to her, "Sorry I ask to much for you. Rikkun, you're amazing. OK? You should start fresh." Her eyes lower, "Yeah." I pick her up, "Seriously!"
"P-put me down!"
"Nope!"
"Claay!"

I gave her a piggyback all the way to Bow Park. I knew she was blushing, her grip was..cat-ish. I smile. "Clay?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"A girl like you should be treated like a princess."
"I-I'm not a-"
"You're my princess, too late."

She hugs me without a word. Her cheek snuggling mine. She kisses my cheek, giggling away. I blush and roll my eyes, "And you call me childish." Rikkun still giggles. I toss her into some fallen leaves. "Rude!" She smiles. Blowing a leaf out of her face. I fall next to her. She covers me with leaves, "You're dead now."
I fake a death sound, "Oh no!" I pull her under with me. She squeals, "Ah- Clay!"

"Now you're dead with me."
"I can't breathe."
"Neither can I."
"Butthead."
"I love you, too."
She slips her cold hands under my shirt and on my stomach.
I shiver and stiff up, "Ah.. why?"
"Because I love you too."

She licks my lips and crawls away and dashes out of the leaves, giggling.

I felt my cheeks get warm.

That's the Rikkun I know.
