hello, it's Nella again. i know i posted another story earlier today but i also finished a little preview or Easter egg (whatever you wish to call it) to another one shot im writing. i will warn you now that it's a tragedy and will hurt the feels of many Giroro fans. review and let me know what you think i will post the story as soon as i can.
It was early afternoon when Giroro tossed another crumpled paper over his shoulder to the mountain of failed attempts. Each one started with the same line, "Dear Natsumi," but after the second line it would either sound too cheesy, weak, or weird to the corporal. He pulled out another sheet and began to scribble the same beginning. This time he decided to start out by just jotting thoughts instead of jumping to main point or using some horrible pick-up line.
Dear Natsumi,
Hey it's me. This is probably the stupidest idea I've had and it feels really weak to write a letter when I can just talk to you. Though, you may have noticed by now, I have a hard time saying what's on my mind around you. So here goes my millionth attempt to tell you what I think and how I feel. Frog this feels awkward.
First of all I think I want to apologize for everything I did that made you feel awkward or creeped out. I also never meant to scare you if that's how you see me. I know I must be intimidating. A bloodthirsty warrior like me could easily frighten innocent girls, but you also have a stronger side that I admire. I actually pray that you never see how dangerous I can get.
Ok changing the subject, earlier I was thinking of the moments we share eating sweet potatoes. I wonder if you enjoy them as much as I do. They are sweet but not too sweet, just perfect. It's also a very nutritional food product that gives the proper energy needed for battle and it can help sharpen some of your senses. They smell good when cooked and …. I think I've started rambling. They sort of, make me think of you.
That sounded weird didn't it. I'll probably throw this letter into the fire with the others tonight but I'll try to finish anyway. Maybe if by some magic force I get the courage to actually give this letter to you, and you read it, you won't hate me. I don't know I highly doubt it though. This entire thing seems kind of stupid to me, but something else about me really has to do this and get it out.
It's like a feeling that's just dying literally and it hurts the longer I keep it inside; to hide things about me from you. The only reason I'm actually able to continue writing is that I think you deserve to learn more about me with everything that we've been through together. You have fought through so much and proved yourself a worthy adversary.
If I were in your position I would want to know everything about my enemy, especially their truest intentions; and you have earned that right.
The truth is that I no longer wish to invade your planet for the pure thrill and honor of battle. I only continue because it is my job. Otherwise, I might have to leave, dishonorably discharged, or even be executed for betraying orders. You have proven to me that not every last pekoponian is worthless and idiotic. Your primate based race is strong; you just have to know where to look. I was lucky enough to run into the strongest heart on all of Pekopon.
You are the best, even compared to most keronians. The only thing that gets me is that even with you high intellect, you never knew. You didn't notice my biggest secret. You never knew what keeps me fighting. You never knew what inspires me to get stronger. I'll probably never be able to tell you in person either since this letter is now officially an embarrassment and dent to my warrior pride.
Natsumi, you never knew that I love you.
