Better to Have Love and Lost

Description

He sat on the edge of his bed and looked at the picture he held. It was a picture of a young red fox held in a wooden red-stained frame. He heaved a sigh as he flipped the prop and placed it on the nightstand next to two other similar pictures. One was of a girl that looked like a cross between a Yoshi and a Koopa and had flowing black hair, held in a green-stained frame. The other, in a blue frame, was a more mature girl Koopa with a purple shell and black hair.

"Another love lost..." he muttered, still looking at the latest photo. He liked her as a friend, but he didn't feel safe around her friends (one of them beat him up whenever they met because of something he couldn't control, and another tortured him to no end just because she could) and she changed just too quickly for him to catch up. She had decided to be single anyway, and knowing how he had acted, he doubted she would ever change her mind. It was hard for him; the first was a crush he had admired from afar and she never loved him back (kidnapping her and unwillingly subjecting her to experiments do tend to cause hatred, after all, especially after multiple instances of said activities), and the other he wasn't even sure whether or not she was just toying with him. But this one, he felt sure at one point she had feelings for him. And the fact it was his first real break-up was starting to sink in. It was a whole new experience, and not at all pleasent.

Curse my inexperience with social situations! he thought. All that time pushing people away when I was a teen... All that time I kept myself alone... I kept myself from learning... Learning what I really need to know...

He felt a tear down his cheek. The chime of the wall clock indicated it was late. He slowly undressed himself, slipped into his pajamas, and climbed into bed. As he clapped twice to shut the light off, he continued to look into the picture of the fox. At least two years worth of effort, down the tubes. Everything he had done for her, gone to waste. He kept trying to tell himself "Better to have love and lost than to never love at all," but he had already loved and lost twice before; you think he would've learned his lesson by now.

"Maybe in the morning I'll carve up an ivory statue of my dream girl and ask Aphrodite to bring it to life," he said half-jokingly to himself, remembering that old myth, as he turned away from the pictures and closed his eyes. The sound of Panchico's snoring from the nearby pet bed helped to smooth his passage to sleep.
