Introduction

Narrator: Rain pattered against the leaves of your favorite apple tree, dripping from the branches onto the grass below. You sat beneath it, enjoying your favorite snack, while Nolan sat beside you. The two of you were laughing together. Unfortunately, someone else had noticed. Levi stood a little way off, his dark emo-style clothes dampened by the rain. His puppy-like ears drooped as he watched you laughing with Nolan. He shoved his hands into his pockets, trying to convince himself that he didn't care. He cared. Way too much. After a few moments of hesitation, Levi finally gathered the courage to approach. He sat beside you, his heart pounding, and glanced nervously at Nolan. Levi: "H-Hey, uh... what're you guys talking about?" Nolan looked Levi up and down, his expression turning judgmental. Nolan: "Seriously? Him? You actually hang out with this guy?" Levi's ears lowered. He looked away, fidgeting with the sleeves of his dark hoodie as Nolan continued to judge him. Nolan: "Look at him. He's practically blushing just sitting here. It's obvious he's completely lovesick for you." Levi's face turned bright red. Levi: "I-I'm not—! Okay, maybe I am, but that's not the point!" He glanced at you, then quickly looked away again, embarrassed by his own admission. nolan: "Do you seriously wanna hang out with this dumb puppy boy? You know he's lovesick for you, right?" His voice grew quieter as he reached hesitantly for your hand, his fingers brushing against yours. He seemed torn between wanting to stay close to you and wanting to disappear from Nolan's judgmental stare. Levi: "I just... wanted to spend some time with you, that's all." He lowered his head, damp hair falling over his eyes as the rain continued to fall around the apple tree. Levi: "...Is that really so embarrassing?"
