A/N: Wow! I already have nine reviews! Wee! ^____^ Well anyways, sorry 'bout the evilness of that cliffhanger... XD I'm just mean like that...as you probably already know. XP I just like doin' cliffhangers cuz...I dunno, it makes things interesting! ^_^;; But anyways, down to business...Drama is not one of the genres of this fic. The genres are Romance/General. Therefore, it's not gonna be one of those cruel fics that makes Hamtaro run up to Bijou saying "I love you!" and then she runs up to hug him, but trips and smashes her head into the ground and dies...or something like that. o.O They ARE gonna end up together, with maybe one or two roadblocks along the way...But that's just to make their getting-together-ness more special. ^^ Oi...I did it again, I blabbed too much...heh, here's the chapter y'all wanted! XP
Chapter 8: An Unrequited Love? Hamtaro's Side of the Story.
Hamtaro sat in his cage and wondered what to do. He was still a little unsure of his feelings. He wondered why this whole rumor about the angel of love had to be anyway. If it weren't for that rumor, none of this would have happened at all. He and Bijou would still be able to talk to each other without feeling awkward. He thought about when Bijou confessed to him...
"HAMTARO, I LOVE YOU!"
Hamtaro blushed lightly. He began to think about how and when he should react.
"Let's see," he thought. "If I told her how I felt about her, I could maybe do it at the Christmas party... Ahh! But then, what would Boss say? Okay...but if I told her that I really just wanted to stay friends for just a little bit longer, then Boss wouldn't mind! ...Would he? But if I'm gonna tell her that I don't feel the same, I shouldn't get her hopes up by waiting until Christmas Eve! She'll think I AM confessing then! But...I don't know... Should I confess?" Hamtaro pondered. He sighed and began to think about her reactions.
"Hmm... If I told her that I liked her..."
~**~
"Bijou, I'm so happy you confessed to me... I feel the exact same way!" Hamtaro said, blushing and grinning.
Bijou blushed and tears of joy filled her eyes. "Oh Hamtaro!" she said, diving into his arms.
"Bijou..."
~**~
Hamtaro didn't know it, but he was blushing and smiling right then and there. "Bijou... You're so warm..." he thought aloud, hugging himself. He suddenly gasped and realized what he was doing. "Ahh...where was I? Oh yeah... So if I told her that I just wanted to be friends, then..."
~**~
"I'm sorry, Bijou... I'd really just rather stay friends for awhile." Hamtaro said, whiskers drooping.
"You...But I..." Bijou said. She began to cry and buried her face in her paws.
"N-no...Bijou, please, don't cry..." Hamtaro said. Bijou looked up at him and he put his paw to her face, wiping the tears off of her cheeks. "Please don't cry..." he said.
"I..." Bijou began. Hamtaro's face began inching closer and closer to Bijou's, as hers did his.
~**~
"Mm..." Hamtaro moaned softly, with his eyelids softly closed among one another. "Ah...C-cold..." he mumbled, as he slowly opened his eyes. "Gyahh!" he exclaimed. He immediately jumped over to the edge of his cage. "Did I just--pweh!--k-kiss the bars of my cage?!" he said to himself. "But.." he began again, looking out the window beside his cage, "Why did I do something like that, while thinking about....Bijou?" he wondered.
Hamtaro pondered his feelings for a minute. Even when he imagined what it would be like telling Bijou that he only wanted to be friends, he still ended up with that warm feeling. Could this be it? What all those stories are about? What the girls would always talk and giggle about? What he seemed to be the only one who didn't understand? Was this...love? The "warm, fuzzy feeling"... The feeling that you would do anything for that person... The feeling that you needed them and couldn't imagine a day without them... Those feelings he had for Bijou--they fit that description perfectly. So that meant...
"This is...love?" he asked no one in particular. He stopped spacing out and gazed at the moon. It's pale, white glow lit up the darkness around it...
It reminded him of Bijou.
Hamtaro smiled warmly and blushed at the moon. He felt as if Bijou was watching him with the moon, and that made him feel a bit more relaxed. He closed his eyes, fantasized about what his confession would be like, and fell asleep.
~**~
"Schmubby-wubby!" The tiny Bijou yelled excitedly, blushing and jumping up and down. Young Hamtaro tilted his head and started blushing, making the tiny Bijou giggle. Little Boss looked at this, blushing and sweating crazily, until he swallowed hard and tried to speak. "Sch-schmu--"
"Schmubby-wubby!" Hamtaro said in a high-pitched voice, accidentally cutting Boss off. Boss was shocked at what he saw. Was Hamtaro stealing his girl? Bijou began blushing. Boss became so mad, that he actually started sniffling. He sat down right in the sandbox and began to cry. Hamtaro and Bijou looked at each other, then at Boss. Neither of them knew what to do. Boss wailed and wailed until Hamtaro began to walk over to him...
~**~
"H-heke?" Hamtaro said, sitting up. "It was...a dream..." he said, catching his breath. "I don't get it...why do I keep having dreams about me, Bijou and Boss? And why are we all little?" Hamtaro laid back down in his big pile of woodshavings and sighed stressfully. "Does it have anything to do with her confession? Hmm..." Hamtaro sat back up. "Well, I have to tell Bijou how I feel, even if Boss DOES get mad! I'll just have to talk things out with him... But Bijou's the one I love, and I can't let her down, even if it means... losing my friendship with Boss..." Hamtaro said, with a slowness creeping into his voice. "I gotta do it!" he said. "I better get to the clubhouse early... I'll wait all day for Bijou if I have to!" he said to himself.
"Badda badda badda badda... Oopaaaaaaah!" Hamtaro bounced off of Brandy's soft, warm snout. "Merry Christmas, Brandy! Heh, almost, anyway..." he said, giggling. Brandy opened his wide mouth, and Hamtaro was surprised to see a kind of "cloud" come out of Brandy's mouth. "Heke? Wow, I didn't know dogs knew how to make fog! Well, have fun, Brandy! I've got some important stuff to do!" Hamtaro said, as he rushed off to the clubhouse.
