Second Best
By Netbug009
It was one of those perfect afternoons. The sun began to sink over the horizon, and a light breeze swayed the grass blades in the nearby park.
But he was second best, so none of that mattered.
He watched them silently from above, his feet dangling from the robot's open mouth. They were so happy, and usually, others being happy made him happy, but not today. Their happiness was his misery.
What made it worse was they were perfect, and he knew it. They were the perfect picture, red and yellow tails wrapped around one another and hands clasped together. They didn't say anything or move at all, they were just happy to be together.
Even worse, he knew it was coming and yet he hadn't done anything about it. He had never gotten the words to come out, so he had just given up on it.
He stood up, wiping a tear off of his green fur and walking back inside. He couldn't watch them anymore. He hated being second best.
