I crack and tell Peri everything. I can't help it. She holds me close. I drink hot cocoa. I offer her some, but she refuses.

I feel myself blush as she wipes my tears away. She's so cute... and tiny. 

She takes all my fears away.

I start to fall asleep.

The last thing I see before I black out is her blushing face leaning over me.

When I wake up, she's asleep too.

And adorable.

I just want to kiss her.

Wait, what?

So I do. Once on her forehead.

Right next to her gem.

Woah.

She wakes up after some time. She smiles at me, and my heart melts. (PHILLIP, WHEN YOU SMILE I AM UNDONE--)

We go outside. I haven't left the hayloft in a long time, so it's nice. Pumpkin greets me. He's adorable. Peridot's robonoids are lined up against the wall. Cuties. I wish sometimes she would give them personalities. But I guess not. 

There is also a dismantled car, dismantled oven, dismantled robonoid, and dismantled alarm clock in the corner. But I'll ignore that.

*time skip*

Peridot and I are the best of friends now. Everything we do, we do together. I just wish we could have maybe just... a little more?
