I wanted to do a write up of the S rank support but I debated on whether I should. It seemed like a cop out to do it on what's supposed to be thirty days of original material, but what can I say you gotta do what you wanna do. its time to address the elephant in the room, though, I already failed the challenge, and on day 4 too, that's embarrassing but hey life gets in the way. I'll finish with thirty days of material maybe even more but I don't think I can update every day. in fact, I need to go out of town on unexpected business for the next days so that alone would have made me fail. so ill be changing the story from a thirty-day challenge into just plain drabbles. Hey though this gives me the ability to make longer chapters and not have to rush write them because I give myself no time even for just a few hundred words. long story short this will be the end of daily updates but the beginning of properly edited chapters huzzah.
Selkie was confused. It seemed like lately she only wanted to play with Corrin and she didn't know why. Just thinking about him was enough to make all of her fur stand on end, and Even during battles, she could only think about rushing to his side. Hearing him tell her how proud he was at seeing he hold-back was quickly becoming the highlight of her day.
Every time she got close to going to close killing a beaten opponent, she would hear his voice and see his disappointed face and all the excitement and battle haze would fade away. She didn't know what was wrong and neither did her Daddy. When she tried to talk Nishiki about it, he just got a weird look on his face, then he and Corrin disappeared for a few days.
She didn't know why, but when she saw Corrin she just wanted to, just wanted to tackle him as hard as she could and not let go. Then, as if thinking about him made him appear she saw Corrin step outside of his house. Before she even had time to think about she was already running towards him with a grin on her face.
"Hey, Corrin! Get over here!" Selkie shouted as she jumped on his back. "Selkie! What are you doing? Get off!' shouted Corrin as he desperately tried to regain his balance. Seeing his embarrassed face only seemed to energize her more, though. "What's the big deal? You don't wanna wrestle?" laughed Selkie as she started tightening her headlock around him.
Corrin finally managed to stabilize himself and stopped struggling. He gently grabbed Selkies arm and said with a sad look, "no. I. . . I don't think it's appropriate." Selkie refused to be deterred by Corrin's sudden mood change and Asked, "appropriate? I wrestle like this with all my friends!" On hearing the word friends Corrin expression became conflicted. "Well . . . I guess I've been starting to think of us as more than just friends, Selkie.
" Hearing this she found herself growing even more energetic, this could only mean Corrin thought really highly of her. "Oh, yeah! You're totally like my BEST friend these days, and you're also kinda like a teacher. I've learned a ton from you."
Corrin only looked even more conflicted upon hearing that." Er, I'd rather that you didn't think of me that way . . . "HeeHee! Too bad teach! Now, try and get out of this headlock!" Exclaimed Selkie as she started reapplying pressure.
"Selkie! I said stop shouted Corrin as he threw her off." Selkie could only look at him in shock as she slowly realized what happened. Corrin had never raised his voice at her and the idea of upsetting him mad her stomach roll with unpleasant feelings. "Aww, you really mean it, huh." Said Selkie sadly. "Yes, Selkie. I, do I'm sorry for pushing you away like that" stated Corrin his expression completely serious.
"No, I'm sorry for being wild and goofy Do . . . do you hate me? Asked Selkie as her ears flopped down dejectedly. Her heart hurt and she wanted to run away, but she couldn't leave until Corrin liked her again. "NO! Just the opposite! I mean . . .Ugh . . . Why is this so hard? Asked Corrin, His face looking like he was about to start hyperventilating.
"Just say whatever it is you're trying to say, silly! As long as you don't hate me, I promise I won't be offended." Selkie said desperately wanting to make things right between them again. Corrin took a deep breath. "OK. Here goes I . . . I think you're really cute, Selkie." Said Corrin blushing even a deeper shade of red than his hair.
"Is that it? 'Cause I think you're cute too, dum-dum" Despite how happy hearing him say that made her she couldn't help but pout. Cute, wasn't good enough, she wanted more from him, but she didn't know what. "But . . . it's more than that. When you're around , my heart starts racing and I get flustered . . ." Stated Corrin, who somehow managed to blush even harder.
"Well, that sounds like . . ." Suddenly it all made sense the way she felt, the way he felt she had a name for it. "I'm in love with you," said Corrin as he smiled while his blush faded away. There, I said it. Now I guess you can go ahead and put me in that headlock . . ." Corrin said suddenly bashful.
"Aww if I put you in a headlock, it's going to be a headlock of love" Said Selkie as she became tomato faced herself. Corrin could only answer confusedly . "So, er . . . somewhat like a hug?" Yeah, I think I'm in love with you too, this is great!" Selkie exclaimed as she worked herself into a new storm of excitement.
Corrin could only answer in a daze. "Is this really happening? Surely love can't be this easy . . ." Selkie jumped into him and wrapped her arms around him "Why not? It should be the easiest thing in the world, shouldn't it? Corrin could only laugh and wrap his arms around. Well, it seems you're the one who should be offering me lessons. Because I think you're right. Selkie laughed and stated, "I hope you're ready a love tackle because you got a lot coming your way."
