you were the only person who ever loved and cared for him..

he was the lowest of the low, he was dirty, he was ugly, but you didn't care. You took care of him. You bathed him, you fed him, you let him sleep in your household during cold nights.. And he was internally grateful.

you and him were inseparable. You were best friends. And he loved you. You loved him too.

one day while you two were casually sitting outside, you gave him a once-over. Noticing the splotches on his skin and his unruly hair. But it was all beautiful to you. You leaned over and gave his cheek a small kiss, which left him speechless. he looked over at you with a pink blush on his cheeks, unable to say anything. You raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?" you asked.

"How could you ever kiss me..?"
