A friendship? PV Miko Limof Closed

Miko sat down next to her and looked at the drawing. "An aon rud ris an-còmhnaidh. Ciamar a tha thu?" he said to Verla.

Translation: Same as always. How are you?

The boy thought she was a really good artist especially compared to him. As I said before art wasn't really his strong point so he always thought everyone else was better. Miko scratched his chin with some thought. He was always thinking but this time about Bowtruckle's. He had recently learned about the X Scale and about an Imp and such so he wondered why the Bowtruckle was classified how it was.

If they're Double X meaning harmless wouldn't that mean Bowtruckle's are at the lowest point in the magical creature food chain? No no...that would be if they were Single X which I think they should be since they don't really do much anyways. Miko thought. He was glad to finally think about something else because he had been focusing on a question that he had, and it was if it would be better if Verla and himself would just stay as friends. The lad was stuck on this single thought and just couldn't decide but he thinks he got an answer.

Miko thinks they should stay as friends but he just doesn't want to break the news to Verla. He's got a load of empathy and doesn't want to hurt Verla so he thought it'd just be better for her if he kept this to himself. Miko would only have to tell her if she asked, right?

Shoot, I'm such a bloody idiot! Verla yelled at herself. She couldn't ever think of having a crush on a boy she'd just met, but what they said about each other. Did that mean nothing at all? She responded "Tha mi math, tha mi a 'caoidh mo charaid."

Translation: I'm good, but I miss my friend though

Of course she meant him, and hoped he would hint that to himself. Miko was special, and they seemed to have a lot in common. But maybe she was in over her head, so she turned to him and asked "Dè a chanas tu nam biodh mi ag ràdh tha mi a 'toirt gràdh dhut? Gu dearbh chan ann ann an dòigh mhòr."

Translation: What would you say if I give you love? Of course, not in a gross way.

Verla felt like such an idiot for sounding so dumb with her words. "Look, I get if you want to be just friends, just know that it'll hurt me a bit, because I want to be more than 'just friends' but if you're uncomfortable with it, then it's fine." She explained, hoping he wouldn't shut her down, but the words they did share together, must've meant something, right? If words were just said in the moment because of what feelings changed from then to now, she might as well just up and leave.

"I'm not uncomfortable with it, it's just that I think we should explore other options before we get too ahead of ourselves." he said quickly after Verla said that. Oh no, I didn't want to hurt her I love her and I meant what I said but we're only 11. I just want to give others a chance he thought.

"What friend do you miss?" Miko asked Verla. She had never mentioned missing a friend and she didn't say a name so he was a bit confused. Hopefully though her friend is going to Hogwarts or will go to Hogwarts. Even if they do, it would be convenient if they would be in Hufflepuff. Maybe she meant she missed him since the sentence structures are different from English but I don't think that'd be the case.

Miko was relieved that they could stay friends but she was still a choice. The boy wished that Verla understood what he meant because he wanted but for her to be hurt. "Also, I would probably like that but you know. As you said as well, not in a gross way" Miko replied, answering her question. He crossed his fingers for a bit of good luck.

The words stung, and Verla wanted to cry, and she did when he asked her about her missing friend. "I miss you, my friend! Don't you get it Miko? You're my friend and I care about you and your feelings, and I get it, you just met me, and that's fine. But don't say things you'll come to later regret ever saying, like in the common room, why say it if you never meant it?" Verla stood up and began walking away, she didn't have time to have her heart broken again. She hugged herself as she walked away from him, hoping he would stop her. But he didn't, then he didn't care about her. Not like how she thought he did.

Giving away Oliver was the worst thing she'd ever done, but falling for a boy she just met was even stupider. She wished she had Oliver with her, then realized she forgot to tell him. So she stormed back and yelled "Tha mi an dòchas gu bheil fios agad gun tug mi seachad Oilibhear! Agus mise-i ..." Verla couldn't finish her sentence. 

Translation: I hope you know I gave Oliver away! And I-I...

Verla didn't want to say anything she would later come to regret, so she walked away, this time in a small fast walk, she just needed to get away from him, he hurt her, and he needed to know he just made it worse. 

Miko watched Verla walk away from him. He'd never meant to hurt her and he meant what he said but it was no use in trying to stop her. Hoping he wouldn't hurt her was dumb to think. Now he just hoped that he still meant something to her because he knew that he still loved Verla.

" I'm such a bloody idiot!" Miko exclaimed as she walked away. He just wanted to go hug Verla and reassure her but he couldn't. Miko couldn't bear to think she hated him but he did. The boy stood up and picked a flower from the ground. He ran up to her and dropped the small dandelion in her hand then shortly after ran back.

Miko hoped he didn't just ruin their friendship together and just wished she would come back yet she didn't. He hung his head low in sorrow and hummed 'Auntie Mary Had a Canary' but a slower version. It's a weird poem but it is the only one that Miko could remember.

He had hoped one day that he'd be able to play his guitar for Verla but now he didn't think that would ever happen. Miko had hurt Verla and thought there was no turning back now.

Verla stood there when he dropped the dandelion in her hand, and sobbed. Her knees buckled and she fell to the ground, she curled into a ball ad just sobbed out loud. She want to hug him, she wanted to tell him she didn't hate him. She was so depressed, cutting him from her life made it worse. So, she got up and walked toward him. And hugged him as she sobbed quietly so she didn't hurt his ears. "I'm sorry, I-I don't want you out of my life Miko, I want you in it forever, but you don't and that's okay, I can't always have what I want." She looked at him with tears in her eyes, but she was smiling "I'll always be here if you change your mind." She chuckled softly. When she thought she hated him, she completely changed the situation. She hoped she could hear him play guitar. "A little secret, I happen to have a guitar with me, I just never really play, but I'd love it if you played me something, if I go get it, will you?" She hoped he would say definitely, she wanted to run and go grab it now. All she wanted, in this moment was for him to play for her.

Miko grinned as he watched her come back and he was so happy to hear that she had a guitar so he could play. "I'd love to play for you, Verla!" the boy said, barely containing his excitement. It was true he wanted to play for her, it would be the first time in a while that he had played for an audience. Even if the audience was only Verla.

He did wonder why she gave away Oliver and felt bad but he decided not to say since she was literally sobbing. "Also I know this is a completely random question but how many languages do you speak? No reason for asking I'm just curious." he questioned.

Miko had to ask some question to break the silence in between them speaking. Silence had always made him antsy and he could never seem to shake the feeling until he asked a question. It was a good question to be honest but completely random too. The questions he asked never had to have any relevance to the previous topic what-so-ever it could be just any question that came to mind.

He could tell that she was a bit down on her luck since she gave Oliver away so if course playing the guitar had to cheer her up.

"I only speak two, and I'll go grab it." She said and ran back to the castle, she literally ran so he didn't have to wait long. She went into her trunk and found the case and grabbed it, and ran back down to the grounds. When she saw that Miko was sitting and waiting for her, she wiped her eyes and smiled. 

Verla handed it to him, and sat in front of him "you might need to fix some of the tunes, I haven't exactly used it in a long time." She was excited to hear him play, and wondered what song he would play. If she knew it, she'd definitely sing to it, or hum to it at least.

She rested her elbow on her leg and her chin on her hand, waiting. She watched as he took it out of the case and played a few strings to see if they were tuned right, and they weren't, he fixed them.

Miko looked as though he were thinking of what to play, Verla was so excited. She began to hum slightly as he began to think, the lullaby her mother sang her. It was from the movie "Brave" and she couldn't remember the name to it.

Miko grinned at Verla and began to play "I'm Yours - Jason Mraz". He then sung along about 3 seconds into the song. "Well you dawned me and you bet I felt it, I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted." the boy sang, hitting every note perfectly on the guitar and with his voice. "I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back...", "Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my best-est. And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention. I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some" so on and so forth.

Soon enough he was almost at the end, he finished with a little bit of a hum and ended the song. Miko smiled at her and put the guitar back in the case. The boy locked the case with the handle lock, he then rubbed the back of his neck still grinning from the beginning. He really hoped that Verla liked how he sang or that just he sung well. That wasn't his best, but he tried and to be honest it turned out amazingly. Miko handed the case to her and winked, "I speak a lot, I forgot how many but it's more than two lemme tell ya."
