Chapter 3
Busted
It was very early in the morning and Giroro was outside his tent, in a cinderblock. He was thinking about those pills that will transform him into a pekoponian. Am I disposed to betray Keron? Transforming into a Pekoponian isn't an order from Keroro. Did I love Natsumi so deeply? She's my enemy, but… those eyes, her hair, her warrior spirit… Giroro sighed. So many virtues. Well, I think that I'm going to try it during the summer. I have about three months to make a decision, Natsumi or the invasion, like Kururu said in the meeting.
His thoughts, however, were interrupted by a ship that has come out from the house. It was Keroro's. Apparently he and Tamama were heading off to some strange planet full of sweets and cola.
"Bye Giroro, we'll be back soon! Enjoy your love summeeeeer!" said Keroro while the ship was moving away.
"What a jerk" said Giroro laughing.
"Morning Giroro!" said Natsumi from her window.
"M…morning Natsumi!"
"Wanna have breakfast with me? As we said we're spending the summer together I thought that we might talk before…"
Wait, was Natsumi blushing? thought Giroro. Naah, it may be the heat. It's early in the morning, though, and… Never mind.
"Yes, let's have breakfast"
Inside the Hinata household, in the living room…
In the couch there was a blonde guy, a little older than Natsumi, about twenty five years old (Natsumi was twenty in the moment, notice she came back from college).
He was wearing a red T-shirt, with a skull printed on it and a green military pants. He was well-built, tanned and her eyes were a mix between grey and blue, it was difficult to know exactly what their color was.
Natsumi entered into the living room, wearing a pink top and shorts.
"Girorooooooo" Natsumi screamed when he saw the man on her couch.
"I'm right here, no need to scream, Natsumi" said Giroro unusually calmed.
"How?! What?!"
"Well, you said to spend the summer together, so I thought that this might help"
He is really handsome thought Natsumi. Maybe this was a good idea.
"Well, the Corporal of the Keroro Platoon decided to become a human no less" teased Natsumi.
"We… I… Keroro gave us vacations, so this summer we could say that I'm not an invader" said Giroro blushing. "Besides, I wanted you to be happy"
Luckily for Giroro again, Natsumi hasn't heard that. She was already making breakfast.
While she was preparing some French toasts, she was thinking about Giroro. He is really well-looking. He is strong, tanned, he has blonde hair! Moreover, I get along with him, it's like my best friend. Maybe… he really feels something for me. It's hard to say but I do have feelings for him. In fact, I realized that a long time ago, but something told me that it wasn't right. But now… Wow, how superficial I am. Giroro is a good person, alien… whatever. It doesn't matter to me if he's a frog or human. Well, yes it does matter to me! I want him to be human like me, and I want him to give up the invasion. But, well, I have to figure out if he is into me.
Natsumi was very determined, as always, and she was going to find right now if Giroro was in love with her.
"Breakfast is ready"
"Coming" said Giroro.
He sat next to her and the two started eating.
"Giroro, I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to the mall. I need to buy a bikini"
"What?!" Giroro almost chocked. If Keroro was here, I'd think that this girl is a robot controlled by him and Kururu, but they are all so busy…
"Don't you wanna come with me?" Natsumi teased leaning on him.
Giroro couldn't help it, so many years restricting himself, and now she was in front of him. He leaned on her and said to her ear "If you continue teasing me like that I'll do to you things… that I never did to anybody"
Natsumi blushed.
"Wanna come or not?" I have to be positive that he wants me.
Giroro leaned on her more and kissed her. It was a short kiss from all the restrained love that he has kept for himself.
Natsumi was about to slap him, but then she realized that it was the prove. Giroro wanted her.
"Sorry" said Giroro realizing what he have done.
"Do you love me?" asked Natsumi.
"A little late to deny it I think" Giroro has no other options but to tell her the truth. It has been long enough.
"For how long?"
"Since the day I met you"
"So, you cared for me all this years and you were silent about that. Oh, and you also listened to me complaining about Saburo. You poor thing!"
"Are you mad?" asked Giroro, a little worried.
"How can I be mad to you? You saved me a lot of times, you cared about me more than Saburo have. And you just kissed me! I think that I may be falling for you too, Giroro"
This was so much, Giroro kissed her again, deeply this time. She kissed him back and they went to the couch. They continued kissing. Giroro tried to be gentle, he didn't want to push things. Natsumi broke apart and lay down over Giroro. They continued kissing like that until Natsumi realized what she was doing. I'm on the top of him. He must think that I'm a…
"Natsumi, what's wrong?" asked Giroro with concern. "Did I make something wrong?"
"No, it's just. I'm sorry. I don't know why I act like this. I have never been with anyone, and now I'm here, over you"
"It doesn't bother me, but we'll make things at the speed you want. Don't worry. I've been waiting for years, I mean" Giroro said while caressing her face. "I can wait a little more"
Natsumi laughed so hard that Fuyuki woke up and headed down the stairs quickly.
"Natsumi, what happens?"
Fuyuki saw the scene: her sister on the top of some guy.
"Fuyuki!"
Natsumi sat properly.
"This isn't what you think, em…" She was blushing and so was Giroro.
"Who are you?" said Fuyuki trembling.
"Em… Giroro"
"What?!" said Fuyuki "Natsumi, are you dating Giroro? How cool is that?
"We're not dating!" said Giroro and Natsumi at the unison. They blushed realizing that.
"OK, you will know. Anyway, Momoka invited me to her private island. Would you want to join us?"
"Do you want to?"asked Natsumi to Giroro.
"Sure, but don't you need a bikini?"
"Giroro, I was just… teasing... you know"
"Oh…"
"But I bet you need a swimsuit, don't you?"
Giroro said nothing.
"Sure Fuyuki, we'll join you, but we need to go to the mall first if you don't mind" stated Natsumi.
"No of course not, Momoka will come to pick us in two hours. As long as you are here before, you can go"
And they went to the mall.
