"OK OK.. I am sorry! Alright.. "
"Huh..? " The kid abruptly stopped crying. "Then you'll take back your words and not call me a kid..?"
I blinked at him for a few seconds. And, then it hit me.
"Eh, You were actually crying for that!? "
"And, Big Sis.." the kid stood up elegantly and brushed the dirt of his clothes with a little kerchief. I chuckled. This child was acting like a grown up. And, that behavior looked too cute that I could almost felt like pinching those spongy spongy cheeks of his again!!
"...I do not, think I am a Prince Charming, cause I am he. And.."
He said with a straight face as I tried hard controlling my laughter.
Aaagh, damn it! His straight face's too adorable!!
"Don't ever think you can become a princess cause... You are Ugly! Tall! Inelegant! And way too Gauche!.. for that."
My amusement immediately evaporated into irritation when I mentally felt four stabs from the words he used to describe me, sting my chest like sharp arrows.
"And.. "
I clenched my fists as the boy continued.
Ugh, This freaking over-matured kid..
"I guess, a character of a cranky witch would suit you, more. Well, Yes! I personally think that is perfect description to..Aahhhhh... Biggg shishter...!!!! That hurts! That hurts!"
He yells as I pinch his cheeks again.
"Don't you think you have a loud mouth for a little kid!? "
"I told you, I am not a kid! If you don't take back your words, I ll start crying again.. Waahh " He started when I abruptly muffle his mouth again.
"Okok, I'll stop. You are so noisy you know that!" I pouted and sat beside him on the long grass.
A long peaceful silence gradually filled in.
The sounds of trees hovering, the birds chirping and the bees buzzing was heard all around us.
"You know, That's the first time someone called me "loud".."
"Really? " I seriously doubt that.
"Yes, people often say that I am always cool, composed and.. a little boring.. That's why most of them avoid me, I guess..."
"Oh, that's sad. Well, at least they don't avoid you because you are born this way.. "
I mussed softly hugging my knees.
"But, I rather think, that's because they are jealous of how super cute and smart I am. They hate how, I am too mature for my age"
He said beaming with little stars fluttering beside him.
Ehh, So, he is the show off type..Huh?
"What can I say, there is no-one in the entire kingdom who is as smart as me!" He boasted monotonously as I pumped up irritated.
"Are you sure, people don't avoid you because of your stuck-up attitude!??? " I yelled at him.
"Huh? Why..?"
I grit my teeth again.
Is he really a genius? How can he be so stupid about human behavior?
Ughhh, But, then again he's just a little child who is still younger than me so as a good big sis, I must bear with him. I thought.
"But, still... " The boy's tone suddenly become less energetic.
"It really sucks that I don't have any friends. Mother doesn't allow me out of the house often and even when I try to speak to the other Nobel kids they ignore me, saying I am way out of my league. So, it's better for a boy like me, to put up a fake facade as someone with no emotions and is always be placid wherever I go.. It's better to be the way people want me to behave. Like.. Like a lifeless being.. I guess."
Hearing this, I abruptly caught the boy's shoulders and shook it.
"What!? That is no good!" I said him with my serious face.
My clear fruit green eyes pierced through the boy's cloudy ocean blue ones.
"You shouldn't be like that! You can't be the way people want you to be. Because that is just not you."
"..."
"People always tell me to stick to my character. Behave the way I was born to be and always have a selfish and evil attitude. But, the truth is, I don't want that. I don't want to be a bad person. So, I am training hard to prove them otherwise..! " I said pumping my arms.
"Even though your powers suck and you literally froze without ever being able to use em if I didnt come and save you., Big Sis.."
The boy commented with a sly smirk and narrowed eyes.
"You really have a big mouth, kid."
I made a face palm. And after I made an attempt to console you..
I shook my head.
"Well, but the truth is. I know, I am so weak now.. But.. "
I looked at the sky and found a large enormous eagle soaring through the sky.
"I will soon soar up in the sky and no one can stop me."
I grinned as the boy's previously dull eyes suddenly emitted a faint sparkle.
"But, you can only do that when you be yourself, boy. I remember reading this from a storybook, my mother bought me once.. What's good if the little duckling forgets who it is and gets jealous of a simple duck.. "
I quoted a Fairytale, I had read about from the Grim's book. Something my mother had presented me a year ago.
But, the child's face shrunk with confusion of what I was saying.
He wouldn't understand me because of course he had never known/seen this foreign fairytale animal character in our country nor does he own the Grim Storybook that tells me of this story.
"..I am sure you are saying it wrong. How can a duckling be ashamed of a duck, big sis.?They both belong to the same family. Don't they..?"
"Haha.." I laughed not bothering his commentary. "It will never realize that it is a swan in transfiguration, that had accidently gotten mixed up with the lowly duck flock, silly!"
The little boy's blue eyes widened in comprehension but he still retorted.
"Big sis, that's a very childish way of thinking things.. But, Mom says.. "
I laughed and held the boy's cheeks with my palms bringing my face close to his.
"So.. What I mean is...Be yourself kid and those who are meant to be with you will always stay. You don't have to care about the people who don't deserve you. You are really cute. So, if you just show your smile to others, I am sure they'll love you..."
"Kay?"
I grinned revealing all my milk teeth at once and smiled to the kid who seemed to be too surprised at what I was saying.
The boy stood still, locked with my irises probably in realization.
Our gazes clashed with each other. And..
"Now, that I look at her more closely.. She actually looks very very beautiful.. "
mussed the little kid after a few seconds of staring at my face with a completely blank robotic look
I blushed at the surprising compliment. But, reasoned he was probably kidding me when the kid..
"Then, Will you marry me, then.. Big sis..?"
---proposed me, out of no where.
