-Molten Freddy's Pov-

Me and Lefty cuddled for a bit before he let go of me, looking to the side.

"Thanks for understanding. You...seemed to actually know what's happening, and...just...thank you, Molten..."

I nodded and smiled. "Of course, Lefty. I'd do anything for you, even if you wanted to sit me down to talk about all of your problems. I'll be here no matter what."

A dust of pink went over his face and he looked away once again.

Heh.

He's so cute.

Such a sweetheart.

"Well...I actually have..well...HAD a test to do..."

Whoops. I think I know why he was trying to get away now. That's my fault.

I swear, I need to stop being...disdainful? I think that's the word.

Well, if he does get in trouble, I'll be the one to explain.

I just hope for the best that he doesn't. He's a good kid. Why would anyone be upset with him?

Again, he's a sweetheart.

-Lefty's Pov-

I sighed and look to the side as I finally let go of Molten's embrace.

"Thanks for understanding. You...seemed to actually know what's happening, and...just...thank you, Molten..."

"Of course, Lefty. I'd do anything for you, even if you wanted to sit me down to talk about all of your problems. I'll be here no matter what."

I felt my face go warm a bit and looked away once more.

He's so nice to me.

And what have I been to him this whole time?

Nothing but a bitch.

And I just feel so bad, because he was willing to help me..and still is.

To be honest, this makes me want to cry.

I was the worst to him. SB, too. And Happy Frog. And everyone else...

But...maybe everything will clear up and go back to normal. I hope, at least.

I'm just glad that I told him. Someone, at least for that matter. I knew that if I would've kept it to myself, let it stay bottled up for long enough, I would've been in a terrible situation.

Then I would've kept everyone out of my life even more.

I really wouldn't let anyone near me. Or talk to me.

But now, all of it is going down a different path.

And hopefully I can start over.

Then I remembered...yet again.

"Well...I actually have..well...HAD a test to do..."

I frowned a bit and my ears went down slightly.

Well...I just have a lot on my mind and completely forgot about it.

I guess that everything up until now has distracted me. Which is a bad thing, since I get distracted very easily. And all the time.

"Well, if you get in trouble, I'll be the one to explain," Molten replied, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I looked at him and tilted my head a bit.

"No, I couldn't let you do that," I shook my head. "Besides, it's my test, my fault."

He sighed then picked me up bridal style, walking back the direction we had came from.

And...here comes the blushfest.

But...I didn't want to fight it this time. I was actually ok with it. I don't know why.

I still don't trust him all the way, but he's gained some of it.

But...him carrying me...honestly gave me butterflies...

It's...a weird feeling...I wish I could understand.

But at the same time, I wish that I couldn't. I mean, would you want to know?

I don't...

Or do I?

I don't know what I want exactly. Not yet.

I still have a lot that I need to do, and so much I need to accomplish. In so little time.

"Umm..." I looked down, my ears going back up, but one of them staying down.

That...never happened to my ears before. Now I think that something is wrong. And that sounds like a stupid reason, just because my ears never did this before.

Yeah, I overthink a lot of things too much. A little too often. It's become a habit.

But you can't blame me.

I guarantee that something like that has happened to you before.

But I'm not sure...nevermind.

Forget it.

Just forget it...

"You're so cute when you blush."

My ears jolted up, I'm guessing in surprise and in alarm.

I wish that they didn't, because people can usually tell how I feel by that, which is kinda weird.

I think I should stop talking about myself...

But he just said CUTE?!

WHAT?!?!

And the feeling is back...

My stomach is in a knot...

Ohh...is this even normal? I'm not sure...

And it kinda scares me. But im not sure if this is a good thing.

And if it is...then someone needs to explain what this is.

"And you're such a sweetheart, Left. Too adorable."

I squealed in embarrassment and covered my face in my hands, the tip of my ears burning.

Great. Now I'm REALLY blushing.

But I couldn't help it! His comment surprised me. You can't say anything about that!

But what am I supposed to say back? I'm not good with this type of stuff.

Is this required flirting?

I'm a teenager. And you'd expect every teenager to know everything about this type of stuff, right? Well, not me.

I don't even know half of the stuff kids my age talk about these days!!

Which is why I don't ask. Which is why I don't talk. Which is why I don't have friends.

But...Molten is...

AH, WHAT?! NO!! I HATE HIM!!

..........

Uhh.....

Do I?....

No...

YES!

No..

YES!

...........

I.....don't know....

Maybe...

Maybe he IS a friend...I just don't want to believe it...

NO! YOU HATE HIM! HATE HIM!

..........

I looked Molten in his eyes once I uncovered mine.

Yes, I only have one eye, shut up.

I was still flustered, but I smiled shyly and my little tail started wagging.

"T...t-thank you..."

"You're welcome, Lefty. You're welcome."
