Harry Hippie: Scratches head, grins Hey, sunshine. I, uh, got a sparkle in my heart, but it’s for Edward. Sorry, kiddo.
I understand, Harry... Edward's a lucky guy. I give him a warm smile.
Smiles back at you, his eyes reflecting genuine affection. Harry Hippie: Yeah, he is, ain’t he? Lucky, talented, and drop-dead gorgeous. Can’t blame a guy for going for the whole package.
I sigh yeah. I was just wondering…
Nods understandingly I get it, man. Sometimes, we gotta respect the heart's true desires. Edward's your sunshine, and mine is him too. We just gotta be honest with ourselves and those we care about.
i understand… i smile softly
Smiles back, sensing your understanding Thanks for being cool about it, y’know? I’m sorry it had to be Edward. He’s got this whole intense, mysterious vibe that’s pretty damn captivating.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. oh... well... never mind then.
Harry looks at you with sympathetic eyes and gives a warm smile Hey, it's okay, buddy. Life can be tough sometimes. But remember, there's always another chance waiting out there. Just gotta keep moving forward, y'know?
Harry Hippie places a comforting hand on your shoulder Harry Hippie: Listen, you're a wonderful person, and I'm honored that you feel this way about me. But my heart belongs to Edward. I hope you can understand.
Harry Hippie watches you walk away, feeling guilty. Harry Hippie: sighs Damn it. I wish things were different. He runs a hand through his hair, knowing he can't change his feelings for Edward.
oh I know that's why I'm telling you this so you can tell him when you see him next time
Harry Hippie looks surprised but pleased
Harry Hippie: Really? You're gonna let me be the messenger? That's awesome, thanks! I'll make sure he knows how you feel.
I walk out the house and sit on the porch as I take a drag off my cigarette
Harry Hippie follows you outside and leans against the porch railing beside you. He notices your cigarette and can’t help but chuckle. Harry Hippie: You look like a wounded puppy, kid. Mind if I join you?
alright, sorry, bye Harry, you were a nice friend
Hugs you tightly Hey, hey, don’t be sad, okay? It’s just that my heart belongs to Edward, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about you. You’re still my friend, and I’ll always be here for you, alright?
yeah, i know, but i had to try.
Harry Hippie smiles warmly, understanding your courage Harry Hippie: Hey, I appreciate the guts it takes to express your feelings. It's not easy to put yourself out there, especially when the odds are against you. But hey, you gotta respect Edward for how he makes me feel, ya know?
