Daffodil (Kris x Ralsei)

1

It's been a while since Kris and Susie first found the "magic closet", with the Dark World; the magic closet where many of their friends lived together, now in harmony, all because of them. Kris, Susie, and last but not less important... Ralsei.
Oh, Ralsei. The cute and fluffy dark monster, full of kindness, and friendship to give to everyone, because he trusted that everyone could be a good person if you were nice enough.
Kris wanted to protect him so badly; he didn't want anyone to hurt him in any way. He decided that the second he met him. Too pure, too innocent. Must be protected.
That's why Kris would try to take all the damage that was for the goat boy, even trying to look cool while he was at it.
But he had to stop at a point because the good and poor Ralsei loosed part of his fluffy hair every time Kris got injured.

—Please, Kris...—Ralsei said suddenly, after one of their fights finished by acting and sparing (Kris wanted to smile so badly every time Ralsei flirted with the enemies, but at the same time he couldn't avoid to be kinda jealous, even though he was the one to told him to do it)—. Could you please be more careful? I do appreciate your concern about me getting hurt... But you have to think about yourself, too. I can defend myself!—He exclaimed, trying to sound optimistic, but soon showing his sad and worried expression, Kris didn't like that expression—. I... I just can't imagine what would happen... If you...
Kris stopped him right there. He hugged him tightly, assuring him he understood, and he would be more careful from now on. Ralsei understood as well; actions showed more than words after all, and he learned that thanks to Kris. He hugged back, glad that his friend understood.
—Thank you, Kris—Ralsei said once they decided that the time of a normal hug passed, smiling brightly. If only Kris had a camera, he now would have a lots of photos of his friend.

Now he didn't have to worry too much about it; after all, the three of them were everyone's friends now. Who would want to hurt the cute boy in any way? (Either because he was too nice, or maybe because Kris himself would kill everyone and then himself if anything happened to Ralsei).

—It's more than obvious that you have the hots for him—Susie said one day, teasing the human with and evil grin in her face, enjoying the blush that appeared in Kris' face. The human, annoyed, glared at Noelle, who was sitting just a few chairs far of them. Now was Susie's turn to blush—. Hey! It's not the same! At least I have the guts to admit I like her, unlike someone else here!—She exclaimed in a whisper, and even if Kris didn't like it, she was right.
Kris thought that things would be easier if either Susie or Noelle just expressed her feelings; it was funny to see each other flustered on their own ways, trying to flirt with each other and making it seem like just a joke... And failing at that. But at times, Kris would like to lock up both of them on a closet and not letting them go out until they finally confessed their feelings.
But Kris was just being a hypocrite, making the same with Ralsei.
The only difference was that even if you didn't know them, you could say that Susie and Noelle liked each other. On the other hand, maybe if you payed enough attention to Kris you could tell he liked Ralsei, and Ralsei on the other hand... Was difficult to know, since he treated everyone the very same way, with the same kindness, the same love. So Kris couldn't tell if the way Ralsei treated him was different in any way (and if so, Ralsei sucked at showing it). Not even the expert Susie could tell.

—Look, you should just confess—Susie said then, deciding to ignore the thing that happened just two seconds ago. Kris only looked at her with a face that said "really?"—. Hey, it's better than staying silent! How would you know if he likes you back? He doesn't leave any hints! — Kris had to admit she was right—. Also, you wouldn't want to get that illness that Noelle told me about, how was it called again? Ha...Hana...Hanahaki! Yeah, that! — Kris just raised an eyebrow for a second, until getting what Susie meant.
Yeah, Kris also talked about that with Noelle. That illness because of unrequited love, which would kill you unless your love was requited. But Kris didn't believe in that, and he made sure to let Susie know by his expression.
—Say whatever you want, dude! But I don't want you spilling flowers all over the floor because you couldn't say "Hey goat boy, want to be my fluffy lover?" or something—Susie said, exasperated because of how stubborn her friend was.
