My Man, My Teddybear

Hi all! I’m Minori Yosuke, a 16-year old girl who studies in Bei-Tao Highschool. My hobby? Well, my hobby was, of course, hugging teddybears! It must be weird for a girl like my age to be hugging teddybears the whole time. I started hugging teddybears when the first time my grandma bought me a teddybear when I’m eight. I can still remember that it was so soft and warm and fluffy too. That’s how I started to like to hug teddybears. My dislikes, you say? Well, I hate lessons, as I wasn’t suppose bring my teddybear to school! The teachers were a big meanie! How can you let go of the teddybear that gives you a nice cuddly hug the whole time?

‘Oy, teddybear-freak! What are you doing?’ a voice was calling from my back. It was recess and I was sitting on my seat doing nothing while interrupted by him. It was Yuseka, a very annoying boy in my class. Well, it’s not that he’s really annoying. He’s just being annoying to me by calling me teddybear-freak. Well, I guess I can’t help him since I like him.

Let me introduce him to you. He’s Tahira Yuseka, same class with me, and a boy who always called me teddybear-freak. You can say that he was also my childhood friend since we were always in the same class every year.

‘Oy, teddybear-freak. Stop dreaming. I got something to ask you,’ he asked.

‘Huh? You want me to teach you maths again?’ I said it, because his maths were poor and always asked me how to solve the problems.

‘No no no no no! I want to ask you is…are you free tomorrow (Sunday)?’ Yuseka asked. His face showed no expressions at all.

‘Okay,’ I replied, still being dreamy.

‘Then ja, we meet at 3p.m. at the Cholate café!’ he just rushed off with his friends, as usual, to play football.

….

!!!!

Did I just accept his invitation? Oh my god! A date? With Yuseka? It’s the first time in history that I was asked to go out with him! He never asked me before, except the girls in my class and the other class. This is going to be a date? Woohoo! I’m feeling excited but also felt kinda worried too.

~♥~

Oh my. Oh my. I’m late!!! I was quickly running, rushing to get to Yuseka because I took too much time to dress myself. When I arrived there, Yuseka looked a bit annoyed.

‘What took you so long, teddybear-freak!’ he shouted at me.

‘Uh… well…’

‘And why are you also bringing your teddybear along, teddybear-freak! Ah never mind. We gotta hurry or we’ll miss the movie!’ without letting me to speak even one word, he quickly pulled my hand and run towards the cinema while I was hugging my teddybear. I was blushing when he pulled my hand. His hand was so big and warm.

~♥~

We just came out from the cinema after watching the horror movie. I was scared by the horrible stuffs in the movie but then as Yuseka wanted to hug me to give me support but unfortunately I hugged my teddybear, which made him think ‘ah…forget it’. Right now, we were dining in the café. We chitchat joking around like what lovers would usually do and sometimes he joked around too. My heart was like a deer crashing here and there just to talk to him alone. As I tried to drink coffee, suddenly I clumsily spill it into my clothes, for that I was holding my teddybear against my chest.

‘Are you al…’ Yuseka was trying to ask me if I’m okay or not but I was sitting there worrying about my soaked coffee-smell teddybear.

‘It was my favorite teddybear! Be right back, Yuseka!’ I held the teddybear and rushed to the girl’s room, trying to wash the coffee from my teddybear. Yuseka’s active mood changed into a no-expression face and he looked kinda sad too.

~♥~

Finally at the end of our date, we were standing of the fence, looking at the sunset. Next to the sunset is the ocean, which makes the scenery very romantic. When Yuseka tried to say something to me, I accidentally dropped my teddybear into the sea. Again I start worrying and plead Yuseka to help me get back my teddybear from the ocean. Instead of his gloomy face, he finally took some actions on me.

‘I had enough of you, Minori!’ he shouted at me. ‘I’m so pissed off hanging out with you, teddybear-freak! Do you always care about your teddybear instead of my feelings? If you only cared about your teddybear, then go date your teddybear!’ After saying these words, he left me alone, in the darkness. I just stood there, staring at him for a while, and then I finally let out a cry. I know I shouldn’t have worry about my teddybear too much. This could be my worst day of my life. I knew Yuseka was not going to talk to me anymore.

~♥~

It was already late night and I’m still lying there, crying. Just as I was about to give up my teddybear go home, suddenly I can see a man approaching me. He walked and walked and walked and oh! It was Yuseka.

‘Nah! (He threw the same teddybear that fell to the ocean at me.) It took me hours to find the same one for you. Man, it almost cost all of my allowance, you know?’

I stood there, felt touched and ran to him and thank him.

‘It’s nothing, really. The things I do for my love one…’ he said.

‘Huh?’

‘Hey Minori, do you know there’s even a better stuff to hug other than teddybear?’

‘What is it?’ I asked back. He walked towards me, held his arm around me and started hugging me tightly.

‘Me,’ he said, while kissing my face. His body was so nice and warm, and even comfortable too. I too put my arms around him, hugging him, while dropping my teddybear. Then I looked into his eyes while his at me then we start kissing each other. Lastly he said to me, ‘I love you.’ He was the one that I would really care for in my life instead of teddybears. He was my one and only teddybear!♥
