The forest Park. [ Translation in English ]

chapter 6

The Nahual had led the harp to a small section of the forest which they called the harvest section which they used to gather food, the small part was full of trees with fruits, vegetables, fruit bushes and medicinal plants it was like a small market for the creatures only with the exception that you don’t have to pay since their ruler is in charge of sprouting the plants for their consumption. Kenny took the harp to the harvesting section and took on his human form again.

-Kenny, are you going to bring food for your brothers,” said Butters, landing in the harvesting section.

- Yes, the last time I visited Karen said she wanted some strawberries,” said Kenny taking off his wolf skull.

-Oh, well do you want me to help you,” asked the harp.

-Sure Leo,” said Kenny, “get a jicara,” ordered Kenny.

Butters obeyed and went to get one of the jicaras that were in the branches of a tree, Kyle had been thoughtful enough to leave some there to make it easier for them to gather their food.

-Here you go,” said Butters, extending the pitcher to Kenny.

-Thank you Butters,” said Kenny.
-You’re welcome, I’m happy to help,” said Butters as he began to pick some strawberries.

Kenny looked carefully at the harp, Butters was always grateful for everything he did for him but Kenny was very grateful to Butters, Butters was the only one besides Karen who always wanted to have him around, talk to him, tell him his problems, help him, Kenny could never thank Butters for everything he did for him but he knew that a simple “thank you” would not be enough, not for him, Butters deserved a special thank you, but how?

-Kenny?

-Something wrong Butters?” asked Kenny.

-No, I just… wanted to thank you.

Was that guy reading his mind?
-Thank you for what?” asked Kenny smiling sweetly.

-For letting me come with you to see Keren and Kevin,” said Butters.
-I should be thanking you, thank you Butters. Karen will be very happy to see you,” said Kenny as he placed one of his hands on the harp’s blonde hair.
-You’re welcome Kenny, you know I’m happy to see you happy,” said Butters picking the strawberries.

-Oh, is that a confession,” said Kenny with a low chuckle.

-HAH?! Wh-What? Nononono,” said Butters nervously, “what I mean is that I’m happy to make you happy, I’m happy to help others too, but with you it’s special,” said Butters.

-Hu? Special? Why?” asked Nahual.

-Well, when we were assigned to be partners you didn’t seem to be very happy to be with me and the truth is that I am very annoying, I couldn’t stand me either, but you let me talk to you and help you and that made me very happy, that’s why I am happy to help you and see you happy for something I do, I am happy to know that someone can stand me the way I am,” said Butters.
Kenny almost got teary-eyed at what Butters said, What is this, and what is this feeling, Kenny wondered, holding a hand to his chest.
