Valentine's Day
by Oni Flygon
The Ookido residences silent morning was immediately broken as the digitized beeping of the digital clock went off. 6:00 am the clock read. A wandering hand emerged from the stockpile of white blankets, hoping to hit the button in order to cease the digitized beeping of the clock. After a few attempts, the black button was finally pushed using the palm of the hand. The sound ceased and the hand withdrew back to the heap of blankets. However, due to the motion of the withdrawing hand, clock was accidentally pushed to the side of the table and it fell down to the carpeted floor. A groan of irritation came from the sleepy pile of blankets and pillows. The mattress creaked as he moved to his side. Thinking it was just another ordinary day, he opened his eyes to see a blurry mass of brown, white, and green.
Rubbing his eyes, he managed to stand up. He pushed the covers, scratched his disheveled dark brown hair and yawned, stretching his arms at the same time. He scratched his naked back and groaned irritably. He shook his head in order to stay awake and stood up from his bed, observing his room. This is the room of seventeen-year-old Green Ookido. Not the most welcoming room of Ookido residence but still livable. He pushed through his backpack, broken pencils, and balled up paper using his foot. He scratched his leg and didnt mind whats going to happen today since hes only half awake, only wearing his checkered gray boxers and stumbling to the bathroom. Only one step to the bathroom, before he noticed what date it is. It was clear since the calendar was pinned on the door of the bathroom.
February 14. Valentines Day.
His eyes widened and panic immediately pervaded through him. Fear and terror made his fingers tremble. How could he forget? Now, he was wide-awake. He was virtually terrified to what was going to happen today. He minded the only piece of clothing that kept his dignity and did mind his messy room and he was also worried that he was getting a tad bit late on going to school.
**** it! he swore under his breath as he quickly ran to the closet, slammed it open, and tried not to panic as he tried to look for his uniform. There it is, he muttered to himself, grabbing the navy blue pair.
So why is Green actually panicking this Valentines Day? Lets just ignore him for a while. He does need some private time while he accidentally steps on his clock and is currently moaning and swearing in pain. Lets just dont pay attention to those clothes flying around for a while and lets go back a few days ago and see whats so important this day.
Green-kun, two more days until Valentines Day! a perky and bubbly Blue cheered as she caught up with Green while he was coming to school.
Green simply looked at her in his usual narrow-eyed stare. Blue is a dark brown haired girl just like Green. Except she kept her hair long and she was quite perky and lively.
And your point is? he sighed. Blue would usually bug him during this time. Not that shes his girlfriend (except that she was once Greens girlfriend) or anything but Blue likes to get presents (she has the habit of taking any present that wasnt intended to be hersin other cases, ripping them off). Blue continued to smile, regardless of Greens retort. Green sighed irritably again.
Blue-kun. You know I really dont like Valentines Day. Im not much of a shopper anyway, Blue giggled as they continued to walk. It seems that shes contemplating on something devious again.
You dont need to give me a gift, you know,
Green was shocked. This mustve been some sort of achievement from Blue. Not getting gifts for Valentines Day? She would bug Green or Red during those two days before that day since Kindergarten (and then she would rip them off).
Okay, Blue-kun, what are thinking of, now? Green glared at her with discontent but she still retained her perky smile.
You might not know what Im thinking ofbut I know what youre thinking of! she giggled again. They didnt notice that they finally arrived at school. They noticed that when the school bell rang. It rang like a huge real bell with tones going up and then going down. Not like those irritating bells that just ring.
He still glared at Blue, and was ready to smack his backpack at her if she said anything offensive. But she might say something else. So all he can say for now is, What do you know about me?
Blue whistled. Im thinking, she said in a singing voice. Youre going to take Yellow-chan on a date!
It was as if a brick hit Green the moment she said that sweet, heavenly name. He stopped in his tracks and his look was fixed down to the ground. Looks like Blue said the magic word that could possibly stop Green from glaring and make him start panicking.
Aa date? NO! Green stammered first but then raised his voice to a yell.
Who actually is Yellow-chan, you might ask? Well, if you ask Green himself, youll hear from him about all the sweetness in the world, all the kindness, cuteness, beauty, and shynessare all packed into one girl. To Green, shes just the cutest girl hes ever seen. Long, flowing blonde hair, gentle, sweet blue eyes, cute, soothing voiceits as if shes like a girl who actually came out from a fairy talein Greens humble opinion that is.
Oh come on, Green-kun. Its so obvious. You have a crush on herbut what if her singing voice returned once more. Red-kun is going to ask her first!
Red?! Green suddenly yelled. He clenched his fist as he began to walk again towards the school grounds. That idiot isnt going actually ask her, is he?
Idiot? Just because Red-kun is taking advantage of Yellow-chan doesnt mean you start to hate him, She muttered in discontent. What happened to those boys that used to hang out together in Elementary school?
Youre going to ask who Red-kun is, right? I knew it. All I can say about Red is that he (used to be) is Greens closest friend. After a certain incident involving an accidental kissing scene with Red-kun and Yellow-chan, Green started to hate him. However, in an act of mockery, Red became Greens once again (self-proclaimed) best friend. Sure he might be a jerkbut not always. Red is actually pretty much a gentlemanaround girls that is. He might be some goody-goody around Yellow-chan but when Green confronts him, he unleashes his sarcastic fury.
Im not talking about this, Blue-kun. Besides, were getting late for class Green muttered as they walked up the steps of the building.
Onee-chan, have you seen those flowers that I placed in the vase here? Green yelled frantically at his sister, who was putting on a lab coat on one side of the house. Green was very frantic. The flowers that he placed on a vase full of water have mystically disappeared from the kitchen. He bought a whole bouquet of yellow roses for quite a hefty sum of moneyand loosing those flowers could mean two things: he wasted a whole months worth of allowance and that he wouldnt be able to woo Yellow-chan to a date. But wait. He said that he didnt want a date with Yellow-chan. Whats up with him?
Flowers? You mean the yellow roses, right? his sister called from the one side of the house. I placed them on another vase. They were dying, Green! Look over at the living room! Green let out a disgruntled sigh. He stormed out of the kitchen and managed to get into the living room without making the vases and picture frames fall despite his heavy stomping. What are you so panicked about, Green?
Nothing! he hollered as he picked up the half wilted bouquet. Most of the leaves have turned dark green and some of the yellow petals have fallen off from the flowers. He wrapped the long stems of the flowers with some plastic that he found in the kitchen hurriedly.
Who are you going to give those flowers anyway?
No one!
Green! Hey, Green! Green turned around to look over his shoulder that lunch period in order to see who was calling him. It was Red. Immediately, Green narrowed his eyes and muttered disgust under his breath.
What now? Green muttered under his breath as Red sat next to him. He tried to refrain himself from punching Red in the gut when Red ruffled his already messy hair.
I heard from Blue-kun that youre going to ask Yellow-chan to a date! Red smiled arrogantly. Well arent we getting somewhere! Red continued to smile while Green glared at him loathingly. He just wanted to punch that smile inside his face.
Were not, RedIm not going anywhere if youre so interested at the sound of sentence, Red laughed loudly. It was so loud that many of the students around them looked at them both. People began to mutter out words such as weirdoes, or freaks, or dorks. Stop laughing! Youre embarrassing us! Green muttered at the corner of his mouth.
Oh really? he placed his arm around Greens shoulders. Say, Green. Tell me the truth here. Do you like Yellow-chan? at that moment, a malevolent smile crept across Reds face. I know you do cause its very obvious how she blushes in front of you or how you try to be nice to her by opening the door for her
Shut up! Green stood up, and started to yell. Dammit, stop poking your nose into peoples businesses!
Red laughed another hearty laugh. Poking your nose into peoples businesses? I didnt know you use those kinds of expressions, Green! What a riot! He continued to laugh and people started to look back at them. Green was fuming and was trying not to punch him in the face. He clenched his fists so hard that his fingers started to numb.
Before he could actually hurt him, Red started to talk again. Listen, Green. I respect the fact that you like Yellow-chan. I like her, too, you know. I mean, who wouldnt? Shes the cutest girl in the world! Red stopped surging with laughter and his malevolent smile returned. Listen, Green. Tomorrow is Valentines Day. We could both ask Yellow for a date at the same time tomorrow before school starts. But if youre not there beforesay Red scratched his chin as he thought for a second about seven oclock. You dont get the chance to ask her. Even if she turns me down.
And what happens if I get there and youre not there by that time? Green asked, still glaring with fists clenched.
Same thing, bud. I mean Im not a big asshole or something. I just want some competition. Reds evil smile subsided and was replaced with his regular one. So we got one day to get things prepared. May the best man win! he stretched out his hand towards Green in order to shake.
Green stared at his hand for a second and grasped it, and clenched it hard. Red did the same thing without flinching and the two were soon hurting each other with a handshake. Yeahmay the best man win, Green muttered under his breath.
He felt a surge of anger running through his veins. This could be his chancehis chance to actually prove to everyone that he really loves Yellow-chan. Why? Its because hes getting sick and tired of all of his friends saying that Yellow-chan should go with Red. Its always like that. He just couldnt hold it any longer if he hears another person say that Red and Yellow-chan should be together. To Green, the pair is just like a combination of honey and dirt (Yellow-chan being the honeyand well, Red is the dirt).
Green immediately withdrew his hand from Reds grasp and continued to glare at him. He watched Red turn around with a delighted smile.
As the audience, you might be wondering what that kissing scene was, right? Oh you should have seen it. You should have seen the look on Greens face. His fingers were trembling in fury, his eyeswellyou get the point. But this was how it happenedto Greens point of view, that is.
It happened a year ago during Valentines Day. Yellow, being a prime target for both Red and Green would be happily strolling around with friends. Red has a box of chocolate in one hand a bouquet of flowers on another. Green was at his back. He asked Red to give those to Yellow instead of giving them personally. A mistake he lived to regret.
Why do I have to do it? Cant you give them yourself? Im not your personal slave, you know! Red bawled at him. They were standing near some bushes and trees, away from view. However, their argument seems to have been heard by the other students.
Red, just give it to her! Its not going to harm you. Green yelled. Just tell her that theyre from me, okay?
Baka! If youre the lover boy, give it to her yourself
Shut up! There she is! Green grabbed Reds head and pushed it down to the bushes. Red growled in pain as both of them fell on their bellies and watched Yellow, along with Crystal and Blue walk along the path. They were talking quite lively and Yellow was giggling along with Crystal. Green felt confident that Red will succeed.
Go! Green pushed Red out of the bushes.
The moment Red popped out of the bushes, Blue, Crystal, and Yellow gasped at him. Green could clearly see Blues gleaming eyes as she saw the box and the bouquet in both hands.
Not yours! Not yours! Green muttered through the bushes.
Red stood up and dusted his pants before the stunned girls. Blue was moving forward but Red glared at her.
Blue-kun, theyre not for you, okay? Red growled.
Blues face fell and she let out a disappointing growl. She couldnt possibly take away the presents in front of witnesses. Greens palm immediately went sweaty as Red moved towards Yellow, who was blushing uncontrollably, and handed her the two gifts.
Here, Yellow-chan, he smiled enthusiastically.
Yellow slowly took the presents and stared at them, while blushing. Crystal smiled and Blue forced a smile in her face, hiding her disappointed reaction.
Youre welcome, Yellow-chan! Happy Valentines Day!
That was it? No mention of Green? Not even Theyre from Green-kun? How could he? He betrayed him. Now, he was just smiling happily as Yellow-chan smiled back. How could he? Greens tongue swelled twice its size as rage rushed through his veins. His temples throbbed and his mouth could taste his own bitter saliva. His bloodshot eyes glared in a demented fury. All he could do is leap out from the bushes, swore out Reds name, rush in front of him and punch him to the face. But that didnt happen.
He leapt from the bushes, and in a fit of rage, ran towards Red, who was completely shocked, and aimed his fist. Before his attack could land, Red, turned around, accidentally knock over Yellow-chan, both of them fall down to the ground, lips to lips. To Greens eyes, it all happened so slowly. The moment Reds body fell on top of Yellows it felt as if he had multiple icy stabs pierced in his chest. Blue and Crystal were stupefied to see a man on top of there own friend, kissing her to the lips. Red and Yellow were unable to move due to the shock. Green stood there, panting and wheezing, and watched the dreadful scene. If he had the chance to gouge out his eyes at that moment, he wouldve done that.
