Aphmaus POV
He...he...he...kissed me? Nobody has ever...kissed me before. I layed down on my bed remembering what my grandmother had said.

~flashback~
"Grandmother I need some help"

"Aphmau sweetie so nice to see you! What do you need?"

"Remember when I was a little girl, you told me stories about the cherry blossom tree?"

"Yes remember the Midnight Dreams one?"

"Yes grandmother but I have a question..."

"What is it dear?"

"Is it magic?" I said biting my lip "and...is it the magic of love?"

"Yes dear its how I met your grandfather! If the petals are fully white then the people are tired with each other if they are mostly white and some pink they're lonely if they're mostly pink the two people are friends and if its all pink then the two are in love why do you ask?"

I took a deep breath looking at the ground "has the tree ever been wrong?"

"No dear why the sudden interest?"

"I was with a guy and for the first time I saw the blossoms fully pink..."

"Oh Aphmau that's wonderful!" She said hugging me "you're in love!"

"Uh grandmother I need to go..."

~End Of Flashback~

I lied to Garroth not letting him think I love him.  I don't know anything about love! I have been trying to convince myself it was all a misunderstanding since! I decided to go out to the tree to think. I always thought best at the tree. I got there and Garroth was there. As soon as I saw him all the blossoms turned fully pink. He noticed them change and looked up at me.

"Hey, what're you doing here?" He asked

"I come here when I wanna clear my head..." I couldn't look him in his eyes...those eyes the colour of ice I guess I like winter the best and I~what is going on with my head.

"Wanna talk? Its a good way to get out feelings!"

"Um...sure I guess we could but I just wanted to clear my head not get anything out"

"That's fine I can talk you can listen and clear your thoughts"

"Uh...sure"

We sat down and he started to talk.

"You know at first I was upset about coming...but now I'm happy I did!"

"You are good at swords"

"Heh thanks, I guess in my life I've always wanted more than what I have but...I'm satisfied everything feels right, right now. Know what I mean?"

He said turning to look at me I was playing with the blades of grass on the ground.

"Uh...kind of I mean I WAS satisfied and then things started to confuse me..."

"What kind of things?"

He was oblivious wasn't he?

"The tree..."

"I still don't understand cause its just a tree!"

"...did you notice the blossoms-"

"Turn fully pink? Yah...I did...what does fully pink mean again?"

He wasn't gonna make me say it was he?

"...it means...love"

He stopped everything he was doing and blushed hardcore!

"L-l-l-l-l-love?" He stuttered

"...yah"

"...um...I...didn't...know...is this tree magic? Did you find out?"

"Yah I did...yes its magic...and apparently it's never wrong..."

Garroths pov
She was avoiding eye contact. After I heard her say it meant love I was dumbfounded. So apparently I'm in love...with...Aph. I took a deep breath and realised it was actually true...the way her smile makes me happy being around her is exciting the way she trusts me with Levin's secret...its true I love Aphmau! I turned to her and lifted her chin with my two fingers and she automatically blushed.

Aphmau's POV
Why was I blushing?!? One look into his ice blue eyes and I knew. I knew I was in love.

Garroths POV
I looked her in her hazel nut brown eyes and told her my feelings.

"I know we don't know each other very well...I know we were barely friends but...I realise...I love you!"

I cuffed her face with my hands and kissed her slowly and passionately she kissed back and after about a minute we seperated.

"I love you too"

The words danced in my mind making my heart almost jump out of my chest. I smiled at her and she smiled that beautiful smile back. We then kissed for awhile and...

"GARROTH WAKE UP!" And Laurence woke me up??? I was dreaming that whole thing?!?

"What Laurence?"

"You fell asleep on your break and over slept lets just say Aphmau knows and she's not happy!"

Great I went from kissing her too her hating me!

"Ok sneakers! You fell asleep which means a punishment is in order you must sleep outside tonight the closest to the hot springs you may go is the magic cherry tree!"

"Ok..."

I started to make a bed out of large leaves. It wasn't too comfortable but it kept the coldness of the ground stay on the ground. I tried to sleep but couldn't the dream I had was so realistic! Did she lie to me about what her grandmother said? I'm not sure one thing I'm sure of is I'm not getting a good nights sleep! I looked at a blossom in the ground that went from fully white to fully pink. I looked up and Aph was walking to me.

"Sorry I had to punish you but being the leader I need to show discipline!"

"Its ok I understand...I was woken from a really...different...dream"

"What was it about?"

"Its not important now..."

Aphmaus POV
He seemed distracted or sad or something.

"Aph were you lying about what your grandmother said?"

Yes

"No why?"

"Nothing nevermind why did you come out here?"

"To check the conditions if you can survive by the morning its fine you'll live"

"Haha thanks"

"Plus when you have a lot of muscle its easier to not be cold"

Realising what I just said about him having a lot of muscle I mentally slapped myself!

"How do you know how much muscle I have?"

"When you were training your strength and stamina you could see your arms"

"That was Laurence teaching me were you watching?"

"I walked by and noticed I don't stare at guys training!"

"SuuuuuUuuuure you don't!"

"Well I need to go just making sure you could live but I'm afraid half your brain is dead if you think I was staring at you"

"You're funny"

"Thanks anyways seeya at breakfast" and I walked away. I went into my room and realised something... I had my planner in my back pocket it must've fallen out. I went back to the cherry tree and Garroth was leaning up against a tree whistling.

"Did you see a piece of paper out here?"

He didn't stop whistling but got up and handed me the paper.

"Thanks I-" so...he finally stopped whistling...but instead he kissed me...strangely I kissed him back. Then he pulls away

"Why did you do that?!?"

"I wanted to know what it would feel like to kiss you again"

I looked at him confused "I'm gonna pretend that didn't happen and I'm gonna walk away and I'm gonna sleep so goodnight"

I walked away. He kissed me? Why did he kiss me?!?IS HE CRAZY?!?!?!? YOU DONT KISS THE PERSON WHO CAN MAKE A PRISONER WITH ONE SNAP OF THEIR FINGERS!!!!!!!
He is a good kisser...
What am I thinking?!?!? He's the NEWBIE I can't just go kissing the new guy everyone will think it's cause he's cute
With his blond hair that falls slightly over his diamond blue eyes that remind me of ice and...
OH. MY. GOSH. APHMAU. STOP.
When he stopped the kiss he smiled a beautiful smile that just makes you wanna kiss him more and...
UGH WHY CANT MY MIND SHUT UP?!?!? I CANT STOP!!!!
Maybe I should go kiss him...
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!???!?!?
Giving up on trying to stop myself I went to sleep...
