I never take my glasses off, because eyes reveal your true emotions.

"N, Natsumi...I...I, um...lo..." he stammered, staring at the fire.
"Hun?" she looked up at him.
"Never mind, remember to brush your teeth." he closed his eyes and released a light sigh.
"Um... Sure." she didn't know what it was about, and just nodded along.
"Here, this one is done," he said as he held out a sweet potato on a stick towards her, with his head purposely tilted to face an opposite direction.
"Thanks, Giroro." she smiled. He blushed.

I had to watch this every day. I stood at my dark, twisted little corner, and watched as my Senpai fell deeper and deeper in love with that red headed Pekoponjin.

This isn't fair. How dare that woman steal him away from me? What is it that she has and I don't? Aren't I good enough for him?

They looked so happy, sitting together on a log, and talking under the starry night. The scenery and their closeness disgusted me. They were acting as if they're the only ones in this world. Giroro Senpai was blushing slightly, with his cheeks becoming a hot pink colour. Yep, he's always like that when he's with her, Hinata Natsumi.

I walked away and returned to my lab, trying to clear the image of Senpai and her out of my mind.

This isn't right. I thought as I tucked my hand under my pillow, and pulled out my Giroro plushie. I held it close to me, imagining that it was the real him.

Why must it be like this? All I want is to be with the one I love and have him love me back, is that so impossible? It isn't like me to be sunk in this deep and get so sensitive about it, but no matter what I do, I just can't get the Gochou out of my head.

I've been trying so hard to get close to him, to please him, to get his attention, but all he cares about is that stupid girl. As a mad scientist, and one of the smartest Keronjins in history, I could invent anything, achieve all kinds of impossible, but I still couldn't solve this, the one and only thing that I want but can't get. Maybe that's why I can't leave him alone? When it all comes down to it, I hate to admit defeat.

I've got to see him.

The night was quiet and dark. The moon hid herself behind the clouds. Everyone was asleep. A cool summer breeze brushed my skin as I tiptoed. This was my world.

I approached Giroro Senpai's tent. The fire was already put out. It seemed like he had gone to bed.

I unzipped his tent quietly, being careful not to wake him up. He was under his blanket with his skull symbol on it, peacefully asleep.

He looked so cute, I thought. The red skin, the scar across his face, and those serious eyes that burn me up every time I look at them. How could I not fall for this red, fierce, and hot tempered red dharma? He is the demon on the battlefield, and the most reliable person I could think of.

I moved even closer to him, until his face and mine were only a few inches apart.

"Kukuku..." I giggled, "even though that woman is all you talk about, the one that you really love is me, right?"

He snored quietly, how adorable. I kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Maybe I should go to bed, too. I thought, and slowly exited the tent.

"MEOW!"
"Shut up, you stupid cat!" I yelled at neko, who I just accidentally stepped on. "He's going to wake up!"

But too late, the noises had already pulled Senpai out of his sweet dreams.

"Who's there?" He stood up in a fraction of a second, pointed his gun at me. "Oh, it's only you." He said, lowering his gun after realizing my presence. "What are you doing here, Kururu?"

"Kukuku, sorry to disturb your sleep, Senpai." I said. "I'm just here to check up on you."

He groaned through his fangs. "Stop stalking me!"

Why? He's so gentle around Natsumi, but so mean towards me. Was it just my attitude towards him? Or is there something about my nature that makes it impossible for him to find me likable for even a single bit? I frowned, but of course, he couldn't see it.

"Yo, what do you want?" He raised his gun again. Is he going to threaten me? How cruel.

"Do you wish that Na-chi would pay more attention to you, Senpai?" I asked. He fell silent, staring at me. "Don't you hate it that no matter how hard you try, she still cares about Saburo more than you? Don't you wish for the person you love to return your feelings?"

"W-What are you talking about?" His hand began to shake, and his voice cracked. "S, SHUT UP!"

"You know, Senpai, you and I aren't that different."

"GET OUT OF HERE YOU FREAK! IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

Huh, how stubborn.

"Kukuku... It's just something to think about." I said as I walked away, back to my lab, back to my dark corner where no one sees me. Me and my true feelings, no one understands either.
