-Lefty's Pov-

It's been a few weeks since the little incident of when Molten caught me cutting my waist. He's still a bit worried about me and is very protective. I actually don't mind it at all anymore, and from this, we started hanging out more often. It's actually pretty nice to have some company. But today, I was super excited. Today was the beginning of Pride Month!

Yes, be surprised. I'm gay.

Although it should be obvious for who.

I smiled at myself in the mirror as I finally finished painting the flag on my cheek. Rainbow. I always liked that color. All the colors together. And they actually mean something today.

I turned the water on and soaked the brush, getting rid of the extra paint that was on it. I grabbed a towel after I was done and dried it, putting the brush to the side.

I looked once more at myself in the mirror at my outfit. I was wearing a rainbow shirt and just some blue jeans. It seemed comfortable and I liked it. I was also wearing a hat, just to add something funny to it.

I walked out of my bathroom and over to my bed. I sat down and put my shoes on.

We didn't really have any plans for today, but Molten invited me to hang out with him. And I agreed. I wanted to get out of the house for a while, and besides, Baby and Happy Frog need some times alone too.

I yawned a bit and shook my head, turning my attention to the clock on my bedside table. It would be only a few more minutes before Molten would be here. And now I'm a bit impatient.

I sighed and shook my head a bit. I don't get why I'm so bored. I'm used to being bored and alone. But maybe I've been hanging out with Molten so much that now I don't really remember what it is anymore. I think that's a good thing, right?

My ears twitched as I looked towards the doorway. I smiled as of what I saw.

Molten was standing there, something obviously must be behind his back, because his arm is behind his back. Eh, I don't know what it is. I looked more and saw that he was wearing a what looked like a dark pink, purple, and a dark blue shirt. He was wearing blue jeans also. Wait, Molten is bisexual? Wow, I never knew that. Wait....he likes guys? Hold on...who did he used to like that is a guy?

"Hello, Lefty," He said, smiling at tilting his head at me.

"Hello," Was all that I really said back to him. Even though we have been talking, it's always awkward in the beginning of a conversation. We never know what to say.

"So, ready to go now? I take it that I was a bit late." He chuckled slightly.

I shook my head no and gestured to my bathroom. "I actually just finished painting my face, so, no. Perfect timing, actually!"

He only smiled more and then walked over to me, looking down at me. Since I was sitting on the bed, I was obviously shorter and had to look back up at him. Although I'm already short, so I still have to look up when talking to him anyways.

I tilted my head a bit, confused. What was Molten doing? What's he smiling for?

I guess I didn't have any time to answer them, because Molten gave my the answer himself. He knelt down in front of me and then I quickly froze. What's...going on? I was overreacting about it, I know.

He pulled out a bouquet of flowers and held them out to me. My eyes widen a bit, mostly in shock and surprise. Why was he giving me flowers? I mean, I don't hate it, but why?

My head still tilted I slowly took the flowers and then looked at them. Then at Molten, and back at the flowers. Back at Molten.

"I'm guessing that you like them, yes?"

I thought for a moment and shook my head. "I don't like them.."

I guess that broke his heart because he only responded with an 'oh'.

"I love them. Thank you, Molten." I got off of the bed and on my knees. I was at the same height at Molten now and I tackled him in a hug, pushing him to the ground. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said, my tail now wagging. I really did like them. And him. He was too much of a sweetheart to me, I don't get why.

The next thing he did REALLY surprised me.

His lips pressed against mine gently. He was..kissing me....

Without thinking, of course, I kissed him back, smiling widely. He sat back up and wrapped his arms around my waist. While he did that, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. He felt so warm and comfortable. Like a little teddy bear.

After a few minutes we both pulled away to take a breathe. He...was my first kiss..and it's special to me. Especially on this month. There's a lot of reasons on why it's special to me.

I couldn't help a blush that was starting to show on my face. It was slowly turning into a dark red and I put my head down, making flustered noises. I couldn't help it! Molten was just being too cute and was such an amazing person to me.

That's why I love him.

I felt him pat my head and my ears flicked with the contact. I hummed softly from it, enjoying the pats. He soon started rubbing my ears and my blush darkened even more somehow. I shook my head so it would make it difficult for him to continue what he was doing to my ears.

"Aww, but they were so fluffy!" He said, fake pouting.

I just rolled my eyes playfully at that guy. He was too cute. Too, too cute. I know I keep saying that, but I don't care. It means something, coming from me. Coming from somebody who shut everything and everyone out. Coming from someone who didn't trust anything and someone who didn't feel love.

When I'm with Molten though...I feel loved. I feel happy and all better now. I feel whole again and it just gives me butterflies in my stomach.

I really love him.

And without him, I wouldn't be like how I am today. And that's why...

I'm proud of who I am.
