Forgive : Apologize

I sit solemnly near the river's edge while quietly staring at my reflection in the water. The waves were gentle and calm until I threw a stone that caused ripples to violently diffract. I angrily continued to cast stones into the river as if it was my mortal enemy. I'm just…so angry. No. Maybe not angry. Shocked? Upset? Sad? I don't even know…I just feel unhappy. Why? Green and I always bicker like this. Is it because I'm in love with him that caused this to happen? I've always loved him though so it can't possibly be that. I wonder why I got so mad…he did say obnoxious and despicable things but… I knew he didn't mean it.

It's been a few days since the incident and I haven't exchanged one word with him yet. He keeps running after me trying to apologize but I purposely ignored him up until now…he hasn't been approaching me lately, maybe he finally gave up. I know it's hard for Green to constantly try to say sorry due to his colossal ego yet…I don't feel like forgiving him. I sighed heavily and reached out to pick another rock; I slithered my hand through a small patch of grass but nothing…guess I used them all up. Feeling uncomfortable I seized a tuft of grass, wrenched it out and hurled it into the air…only to have the wind carry it back to my face.

"Pfft..tufpp…pufft..ppeh..peh." I spat out the grass from my mouth irately and clumsily shook my head about. I stopped. Then sighed. "It sure is boring around here."

Hmm? Strange. Since when did I find Pallet Town THIS boring? It's just peaceful. So quiet. I wonder what Green is doing right now? HUH? Why am I wondering about him? I'm mad at him! It should be him who is wondering about me…he better be anyway. No, actually he has but I've just been ignoring it. I can't approach him now, my pride will never allow it. I wonder if he'll come back to apologize again.

I yawned slightly and stretched my arms towards the sky. I'm feeling a little tired; with heavy eyelids I flop backwards and rolled onto my side.

"Maybe…I'll take…a little…nap…" I mumbled to myself as I drift to sleep.

*Pinch*

"Ng…" I muttered as I felt something grab my cheek and rolled over on my back. I opened my eyes slightly to see Green smiling above me.

"Good morning." He cheekily laughs.

"What? You're here?" I blink sleepily at him. "How long was I asleep for?"

"I think for about 40 minutes now." He commented. "Did you have a nice nap? You've got drool on you."

"Ughh…" I hazily tried to wipe my mouth. "Idiot….shut up"

"Haha. I was joking." He laughed sadly.

"Nghhh~" I yawned and started to crawl towards Green's lap. I softly placed my head on it and shuffled uncomfortably until I found a good position.

"Uh!" Green jumped a little but settled down. "You're still sleepy?"

"Yeah…somewhat." I stated and closed my eyes. "Let me borrow your lap."

"Shouldn't our roles be reversed?" Green asked awkwardly.

"Nope~ You feel nice." I smiled lightly.

"You know I was trying to apologize before." He started to stroke my hair. I can feel his hands shaking slightly while combing through the strands. Is he trying to comfort me?

"This isn't like you Green." I giggled in a sarcastic tone. "You should return to normal. You know act all high and mighty like you always do, get back up on that high horse of yours."

"H-hey…why don't you let me do the talking." Green tapped my forehead somewhat forcefully.

"You can be real nice once I guilt trip you." I smiled.

"Well I'm…it's just that…I got carried away and…um…I didn't really want to say all of that stuff." He stammered.

"All? You wanted to say some?" I retorted.

"N-no well we always bicker like that but…this time I crossed the line and got you really upset so…um…yeah." Green took his hands out of my hair.

"Is that all?" I open my eyes and asked, waiting for the special words.

"And…you see…it's just that…I'm…kinda really sorry." Green blushed a little from the embarrassment but he knew this was serious business.

"Hfm…pfft…ahaha." I chuckled rather loudly. "Sorry but that…was-ahaha…too cute."

Green suddenly stood up, letting my head drop onto the ground. I sat up rubbing it a little while frowning at him. What was the big idea? I stared at him as I sat on the ground; he was using his arm to cover the bottom half of his mouth, his eyes looks widened and shocked. Is he blushing? I squinted to see and then stood up. I advanced towards him but consequently Green started back away from me. He MUST be embarrassed. Geez, he can really be cute when he gets like this.

"Hey Green." I called out. " Hold still for a moment."

"N-no. I said sorry so now it's even." Green put his palm over his face so that I couldn't see it.

"I never said that I forgave you." I smirked.

"W-what?" He quickly took his palm off to reveal to me his red hot cheeks and shocked face. How cute. If he looks at me like that…how can I not forgive him?

"Just joking~" I sang as I hugged him.

"W-wahhh! What are you doing?" Green started to flail his arms slightly in one spot. It's as if he's never been hugged by a woman before. Well there aren't many people in town but still.

"Nothing…I just…wanted to touch you." I answered bluntly.

"Man…you're just too straightforward sometimes." He stopped and then scratched his head with one hand. "Since I was wrong on this one I'll let you do whatever you want."

"Hmph well aren't you being a gentleman for once." I remarked.

"I'm not afraid to push you away." Green retorted.

"You wouldn't do that." I laughed.

"Wanna bet?" He demanded looking flustered.

"Nah cause I'm done." I teased as I unwrapped my arms around him.

"Ugh you pesky girl…. well whatever." He sighed. "Let's just go home now."

I smiled as we turned around to walk home together. Green's always been like this; arrogant on the outside but once something happens he'll immediately turn into a different person. I guess this might've been one of the reasons why I fell for him…The feeling of finally being able to make-up with Green was…nice. It's been a while since we've had a serious fight like this. I guess it's because we're not very honest people; him with his feelings and me with mine. Did I forgive him too easily? Hmm? I wonder…how long will we be able to maintain this relationship? I know in the future I'll get even angrier at him…maybe at every little thing because my feelings will continue to grow…but I kind of like things as they are now. I shouldn't change it.

"Yeah. Let's go." I gave him a deceiving smile.
