A/N: Ello! I'm surprised I was able to write so fast. And so much as well. +1000 words!
So little drama and cursing up ahead just a warning. Enjoy.
Pucca's pov:
The date so far with Tobe has been fun. Winning the panda was great, I never knew how much fun life could be when you aren't constantly chasing someone who would never share the same feeling. Just thinking of him made my smile waver but I pushed it back. I was having fun and I wasn't going to let him ruin it.
As Tobe and I held hands going toward the stage in the middle of the village I heard the distinctive yell of a overly confident ninja. Sighing I slowed to a stop, Tobe followed.
"Something the matter Pucca?" He ask, his brow scrunched and worry written on his face. I shook my head with a small smile and gestured to the area I hear Abyo. He turns to the same direction.
There was Abyo, trying a ring toss and getting frustrated. Ching stood there, clearly angry at how her boyfriend was paying more attention to the game and wouldn't give up, but on the other side of Abyo was Garu. I felt a small pain in my heart, I no longer have feelings for him but that doesn't mean I still don't feel hurt.
Tobe tighten his grip slightly on my hand, he looked over at me with a mixture of emotions I could quite decipher. That's when my attention went back to the trio, Ching had seen me and called out my name. She has been wanting me to stop running away from Garu and possibly confront him. I could never do it because the closer I was to him, the more tears gathered in my eyes ready to fall.
Tobe had stepped behind me and rested his forehead on the back of my head to hide his identity somewhat as Garu slowly turned in my direction, his stance to show his is prepared to run away from me. Seeing he still thinks I'm ready to chase him still makes my blood boil. I'm no longer under whatever spell I was in before, I am my own person that wouldn't be chasing him around.
I turned to look at Tobe, he was biting his lips worried. I placed a hand, that wasn't holding the panda, on his cheek and gave a small encouraging smile. With a small motion of my head I take a small step towards my friends, I lightly tug his hand to tell him to come with. He looked uncertain but nodded to agree. We held hands again and made our way to Ching, she awed aloud having people around turned to see, all eyes went wide at the sight of me with Tobe. But I ignored them, I was having a great time with Tobe an I wouldn't let their opinion ruin that either.
Garu had stayed stricken at the sight, mouth agape and eyes wide. I gave Tobe's hand a small squeeze as I walked the test of the way next to Ching with my head up high. She has pulled me in a tight hug when I was in arm distance of her. Pulling me out of Tobe's grasp.
"Oh Pucca it's great to see you!" I signed back that I was glad to see her as well. She then point out my prize. "Oh it's so cute!" I had signed back how Tobe broke the bottles and let me throw the last one to win it. "How sweet of him." That's when she looked at him, giving him a genuine smile. "Hello Tobe."
"Hello Ching, nice to see you." Tobe replied calmly as I held onto his hand. Abyo had then started to pay attention.
Ching had told him about me getting over Garu, he never believed her though.
"Whoa, and I thought you were joking when you said that." He said, Ching looked at him and tightly held onto his ear.
"And why would I joke about this? You should believe in me and what a wrong with you?! Paying more attention to a game then your own girlfriend." She continued to ramble on how he should be a better boyfriend. Tobe chuckled at her nagging, letting go of his hand I signed that they acted like a married couple at times.
"I see that, very clearly." I linked our arms and rested my head on his arm as I was still a few inches short of being able to rest on his shoulder properly. Garu then cleared his throat gaining our attention. He looked somewhat mad and signed asking what I was doing with Tobe. Tobe quickly replied. "Because we are on a date."
Garu scolded and signed that he wanted me to answer. In response I simply ignored him and nudged Tobe to say I wanted him to answer. Garu was now practically growling. He signed that he wanted me to respond and asked again why I was with Tobe.
"Because she wants to be, you cannot control her Garu. She does not wish to answer so let her be. Pucca is her own being and it is her decision." Tobe said and wrapped his arm around my waist bring me closer to him. I felt a blush rise on my cheek at his movement. Garu had a look as if he would kill, which made me frown.
I snapped my fingers and gained his attention, I signed asking why he even cares about what I do anymore. I had thought he would've been happy that I stopped chasing him. He replied angry on how he didn't care but didn't want me near Tobe. And he then grabbed my wrist tightly and roughly pulled me to his side out of Tobe's arms.
I pushed him away me and walked next to Tobe. Ching had stopped yelling at Abyo and went to my side carefully checking my wrist which was slightly bruising. Tobe saw the bruising and he didn't go after Garu which surprised me. Instead he rubbed my arm and asked me if I was fine. Once I nodded that I was he glared at Garu with a hatred that I've never seen before.
"Now do you see? She's better off without you. You keep hurting her one way or another!" He was raising his voice and more people looked our way. A small crowd was forming. Garu was signing back angrily saying Tobe wasn't any better for me. They kept throwing saying hateful things to each other.
I was getting a headache and growing more irritated at Garu. We were having a nice date and him being here dampened my mood. Ching whispered in me ear.
"I'm sorry I really thought he would be more mature." I gave her a small reassuring smile and handed her my panda signing to hold onto it for a moment. Tobe and Garu where still arguing while a few more people surrounded us. I knew speaking would surprise everyone and have many to believe that I am dishonoring my family. But I couldn't take the arguing.
"Goddammit that's it!" I yelled, my voice still a bit hoarse and wavering. But it got everyone's attention, Tobe and Garu stopped arguing and starred at me wide eyed with their mouth agape. "Garu just fucking deal with it. I am over you, I won't be chasing you anymore because I am tired of being rejected. I am on a date with Tobe, your enemy but that doesn't mean he is mine. You must've done something to him to make him act in such ways because from what I have seen he is a good guy.
That deserves a chance of showing who he really is. Not just your enemy. Or a bad guy, but a human being with feelings too. I wish we would work this out and be friends but from the way I saw you act right now I don't even want to fucking look at you." I grab a held of Tobe hand, taking back my panda from Ching and said my farewell to her and Abyo.
Everyone was shocked, but Tobe followed me without a word. I went pass some houses in the village to go to the forest. Once I knew we were out of sight and hearing distance I sat on the ground. Letting go of Tobe's hand while I quietly cried hugging my panda. He was still stung but comforted me once my cries became louder.
"I'm sorry I let that bastard get to me." He said has he held me close and run his hand on my arm. Through my sobs I answered him.
"I-it's alrig-ght. I-I l-let hi-I'm ge-et to me as-swell." He rested his chin on my head and kept me close as I finished crying. He would wipe away a few tears every now and then but wouldn't say a word. Once I had stopped completely he stood up and grabbed a hold of my hand, I stood up with him and held on to his hand tightly.
He leaned down close to my face and used his other hand to caress my cheek. I felt a blush form as his breath was lightly hitting my lips. He was very close, just a couple of inches away from me. My heart was now racing and my breathes were getting a little uneven. His eyes were looking between my own and my lips. I could tell he was nervous and hesitant, so to encourage him I leaned closer.
He leaned in more, the corner of his lips slightly tuned up. He was very close now, breathing the same air. I noticed he smelled earthy (A/N: again proof that I suck at writing anything. How does this happen? My relationships were never normal or close to normal so I don't know how this goes!!! >~<) I let go of my panda hearing it hit the ground using my now free hand to hold on to the front of his shirt, and tugged him closer. He chuckled deeply, sending a small chill down my spine.
"Eager?" He asked, and untwined our linked hands, placing his hand on my hip.
"Maybe." I giggled back. I wrapped both my arms around his neck, having to be on the tips of my toes a bit now. We both leaned closer, my eyes slowly closed as our lips brushed each other's.
A/N: I'm leaving it here because
1) I don't know how to write kissing scenes
And 2) I don't know if I will let them kiss, or have someone come in the interrupt.
😅 I'm very awkward even though I'm engaged. When my fiancé and I started dating we were already best friends, and very comfortable around each other. It was natural for us. With my past boyfriends.... I just didn't know what to do so I let them somewhat control how it all went. Now that I look back I don't think I actually cared.....
Anyways uh... I hope you enjoy. If I made any mistake please tell me to fix. So yeah. Bye. ϵ( 'Θ' )϶
