I'll Choose You , Always (pucca x garu)

¿Why Now?

How can this be happening right now?! I don't even know what to do. I don't- do I let go?! But look at her, her face says it all, I can't.

I let it keep going until she sees how my stuff aren't in the room. I totally forgot I just ran up here without remembering my belongings. She lets me go & heads out to the kitchen. I walk towards the picture she has of all of us together. That was my family... The ones I knew I can always count on matter what. From a mountain of moon cakes to a fight between a mad influenced cook. Then I started to think about how pucca at the end, saved her family & us with just one hit. Yet again, Pucca is the strongest girl here in sooga. I was so proud of her that day, she deserves everything. Even someone who has never been afraid to love her unlike me.... And yet she still chooses me over every guy who's shown interest in her... I banged my head on the wall, then I feel a tear roll down my cheek. At that point I was just thinking about her... Hurt her in a way that she shouldn't even be breathing next to me. It makes me realize how hurt we both were. As soon as I turn around I see Pucca with my bag. She placed it next to Abyo's & Ching's and smiled at me. I nod as a thank you and she walks towards her bed. I follow behind her and she stops in front of her window, once the doors were open, a strong nice wind blew into the room. I had forgotten she had her hair down so when the wind hit her hair, it poked my eyes. "ow" I said, pucca turned around and said "oops". She sits in front of her table & grabs a hair brush and two pink ribbons. As she gets those things ready, she looks at her reflection & smiles. I felt warm inside, she was admiring herself & it made me so happy to see she was proud to be her. i felt as if I wanted to kiss her... Oh... I thought about it. And I said to myself "why not? She's never been afraid to kiss me, maybe I'll return the favor" I walk up to her, turn her to face me, bend down to her level, grab her face with both of my hands....

I pull her close...

Closer...

Up to the point where my lips were about to touch hers...

I hear her gasp...

I look at her lips, tilt my head...

I look into her eyes, back at her lips...

She bites her bottom lip, looking at mine...

Our bottom lips meet... Here it goes...

Suddenly...

I realize that I was only day dreaming... I look at Pucca, she's now sitting up on her bed reading a book in her odango hairstyle. I wonder how long she's been there. Then i hear abyo & ching laughing. It's about time, I wanted to go in already. As they enter, Abyo says "sorry we took so long we were umm playing around... And no we didn't waste all the hot water" I start to grab my pjs and as soon as I'm done, I hear ching say "hey Pucca have you already taken your bath? Is that why you had your hair down?" "Yuhm" she replies. I start to head out. As I'm walking, I hear the three laughing in pucca's room. I felt left out yet I wanted to go shower either way. I get to the restroom and start to run the water. As i undress & get under the shower head, I start to think about what was wrong with me in pucca's room... Why? Why did i even think about that?! I don't understand... I've never thought about her in that way so why am I starting to now? I put my face under the water to try to stop thinking about the incident. And it worked. so now I was only focused on coming out of the shower clean and smelling good. But then suddenly I hear Pucca laughing in the room and there I go again , my heart starts to flutter. It was music to my ears, it brought me joy. I was so happy to hear that she was having a good time nothing right now could hurt her. I snap back to reality and I realized that I've been inside here for so long that they had to come and ask if I was okay.... I felt embarrassed so I turned off the water and I just replied with a "mhm" I grab the towel and start drying off. I brought my toothbrush and a little bit of toothpaste and start brushing my teeth. As I was brushing I started to think about what was going to happen right after I came out of the restroom. Are we going to go straight to sleep? Are we going to say scary stories? Are we going to play board games I read books? Is Pucca going to have everything ready for the makeover after I lost the bet!?
