Stronger [Laurroth/Garrance F.F.]

The Talk PT. 2

Laurance

"Hmmmm....

The background behind you and Aphmau is obviously showing what you would feel if you...pair up with either of us." I considered.

"Hmph, sounds accurate."

"So if that means if you choose to keep trying to win Aphmau, you would be happy." I said slowly.

That sounded wrong.

I didn't want to believe it.

I wanted to be with Garroth.

There's the end of the dream, where I win, right?

But I relaized that doesn't matter.

I won, and then Garroth would have to suffer.

I mean, did you see my background?

It looks depressing.

Sad.

And I don't want Garroth to be sad.

Even though it means giving up my hope of being with him.

I want him to be happy.

Because I love him.

Tears started to form in my eyes as I thought about it.

"Laurance...no...I-I"

I cut him off. I didn't care if he was trying to make me feel better anymore.

"Didn't you see it Garroth!? You don't belong with me." I surprisingly yelled, I could hear the anger in my voice, and I choked on my tears.

"Why am I in this mess anyway!?
I shouldn't even be in this situation. Your best friend who's a boy has feelings for you?"

I got up off of my bed and made a beeline for the door.

"LAURANCE!"

As I unlocked it and was about to open the door, Garroth grabbed me gently and pulled me over to the bed.

He held me there, his eyes full of sympathy.

"Laurance...you're so hot headed. Jumping to conclusions."

That was enough to set me off right then and there.

My face gushed with even more anger.

But then he said something else.

"Laurance, are you forgetting?

The center and inside the backgrounds."

Inside the backgrounds?

Inside the backgrounds.

Aphmau's "core" of her background was like my outer background.

And my core was like her outer background.

I remember that.

"I finally knoe what it means, Laurance.

It means if I be with you, it will be...complicated. Hard. But deep down I know it's right. I know I will be happy with you."

And that answer satisfied me.

It felt complete.

I think he was right.

"G-Garroth...I'm sorry. I denied your love for me. I forgot."

"Shh, it's okay. I love you. And you know it.

That's all that matters right now."

Garroth leaned forward and touched his lips against mine. I did the same.

I dragged my legs up onto my bed for a more comfortable spot, and Garroth shifted himself over me.

We kept kissing for a few moments until we were out of breath.

It felt incomplete, like I wanted more.

So that's what I did.

This time it was my turn, I jabbed my head near his and continued our kiss.

Until a voice called out near the door,

"G-Garroth?...Laurance!?!"

We jerked up out of our kiss and tried to see where the voice came from.

It was Aphmau.

And standing right next to her was DANTE.

HOW IN THE NAME OF IRENE DID WE NOT NOTICE THEM COME IN??
AND I THOUGHT I LOCKED THE DO-...

Oh.

Right.

We all just stood still in total shock, it was quiet and really awkward.

"...Someone wanted to see you..."
Dante finally said.
