There was once a bittersweet man and they called him 'Lemon boy'

It was a sunny day, so i decided to go on the park. As i sat in a bench, i saw a person, planting lemons. Was he always there?

He was growing in my garden and i pulled him out by his hair, like a weed.

For some reason, i wanted to talk to him. But i just ignored him. He was minding his own business. Plus, i think that it was kinda awkward if i talked to a stranger. And to be honest, i won't even gonna see him ever again.

But like weeds do he only came and grew back again.

And i was wrong.

He was there every time i go to the park.

And for some reason, he keeps getting on my mind.

And by that, i mean i kept thinking of him every single day. I tried to get him out of my mind, but he always keeps coming back!

So i figured this time might as well let him be.

The next day, i went to the park, eager to see the boy.

But he wasn't in the garden, he's just sitting on the bench i normally would sit.

So i sat there.

Trying to mind my own business.

Of course that failed.

Why?

He asked me to be his friend.

And without hesitation, i accepted.

Lemon Boy and me started to get along together.

After that, he gave me his number.

His name is Grian, nice name, i know.

Me and Grian would text each other every night and we would meet in the park every morning. And it was nice.

But somehow, when i meet him, i always feel my heart ache.

I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather.

He showed me his garden.

It was nice.

Sometimes we would take care of them.

It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him. So i got myself a citrus friend.

Also, remember that aching feeling i felt?

That was love, i was in love.

And it turns out, he was too.

And now, were a couple.

What would go wrong?

--let's skip two verses because it's not part of the oneshot--

But what if I run out of fertilizer?

Everything.

Everything went wrong.

What if the clouds run out of rain?

Grian got hit by a truck, and i wasn't there to save him.

What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?

...

And now he's dead.

What if beaches dry of sugar cane?
Oh well..

My friends comforted me.

It wasn't enough.

I broke down.

I didn't want this to happen.

The whales start to beach themselves,
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines

I listened as someone read Grian's will.

It happens all the time, it happens all the time.

Apparently, he wanted me to live a good life.

And he also wanted me to be ok.

And i will.

I won't forget the memories we had.

I'll be okay, 

i promise.

Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever.

Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever.

Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever.

It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him.

'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town,

Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around,

And now I got myself a citrus friend.
