You were his best friend, at first. You had always had a small crush on him, but never acted upon it in fear of rejection. He was just so distant and hard to understand, and he had only broken up with his previous matesprit half a sweep before you showed up. He and Latula had drifted apart, but remained friends from what you could tell. Latula had told you once that she still loved him, but more in a platonic sense than flushed. In other words, he was up for grabs.

You didn't think Mituna saw you that way.

The two of you spent a lot of time together. When you had showed up he was one of the first trolls to greet himself, while you remained quiet and shy. It didn't seem to phase him, and he almost never left your side since.

At first, you had a hard time keeping up with him, what with his sporadic behavior and heavy lisp. For a long time you couldn't even understand what he was saying, and it took you even longer to read anything he wrote. However, with Kurloz and Latula's assistance, you soon grew accustomed to Mituna's habits. Half of the time he didn't even need to finish what he saying, because you knew exactly what he needed.

The first time he had a fit in your presence, you ran. You were frightened, not of him, but of not knowing what to do. You knew he had brain damage, but you never knew that it got bad enough for him to have a tantrum. Nobody ever told you. For the most part he seemed normal, with the exception of his clumsiness. You had avoided him for days after that, too afraid to run into him again. It wasn't that you disliked him for his brain damage, but you had no idea how to handle him when he threw a fit. After you had calmed down, Latula pulled you out of your respitblock and told you what to do when Mituna ever threw another fit.

You were reluctant to hang out with him again, but looking back you realize what a mistake you would have made if you hadn't. When you saw him again, it was almost as though nothing had ever happened. The two of you hung out like best friends, with him trying to show you how to skateboard while failing at riding one himself. He tried to show off his 'rad moveth', but ended up tumbling down some stairs and landing on his face.

When he began to throw a tantrum, instead of running like you had the last time, you calmly walked over and gave him a hug. You shooshed him softly, taking off his helmet and checking his face for any bruises. When you found one on his chin, you leaned forward and gave it a small peck. You couldn't see his eyes underneath his static-filled hair, but you felt his gaze on you the entire time. He calmed down immediately, and the two of you spent the rest of the day making out shapes in the clouds, and singing made-up songs about bumblebees. It was one of the best days of your life.

The worst day of your life came several weeks later.

You were painting a picture of a bumblebee to hang over a hole Mituna had accidentally created a few days before in his respitblock, while sipping tea and humming softly. The door to your respitblock was flung open with a slam, and Cronus appeared with a worried expression instead of his usual poker face.

Mituna had been in an accident.

He had forgotten his helmet and went skateboarding by himself, which was odd in itself. However, he had tried to do a flip while riding the stair rail, and instead lost his footing and crashed head-first onto the cemented ground. Luckily, Kurloz had heard his moirail's cry for help, and managed to get him to his hive. Alternia didn't have hospitals, since it was basically every troll for himself.

You were at Kurloz' hive in record time.

You remained calm in front of everyone, and insisted on watching him while they slept. Once everyone had left, and you were sitting on a pillow beside the recupracoon Mituna was resting in, you buried your face in your arms and cried for hours. You felt yourself drift slowly to sleep when you felt fingers gently touch your arm. You looked up and saw that Mituna was still asleep, but had reached out to you subconsciously. You were relieved, knowing that he would be alright.

Once he was on his feet again a few days later, you left back to your hive. You expected him to visit you the next day, but he never came. In fact, he didn't show up again for weeks. You grew worried and went to visit him at his hive, and he seemed reluctant to let you in. Once inside you asked him what was wrong, but he simply stared at you, refusing to say anything. You offered to make tea, even calling him 'honey', but he jumped up quickly stating that he would make it instead. You didn't want him to burn himself, but he seemed extremely upset after you offered, so you let him go. You glanced around his hive, wondering what he was so upset over.

You got up and walked around the room, looking at a pile of papers with his sloppy handwriting all over it. You absentmindedly scanned the pages, noticing they all had a similar theme before being tossed away as useless. They were all poems, or at least would have been had he finished them. You chuckled softly at how frustrated Mituna must have become, trying to think of words that rhyme before getting angry and starting over. There were at least fifty pages, so he must have been trying to hard to come up with something, for whatever reason.

You were about to walk back and sit down when you noticed a piece of paper lying upside-down, with a pencil on top. You curiously took off the pen and flipped over the piece of paper, finding a very long stream of misspelled words on the other side. You glanced around to make sure Mituna didn't catch you snooping, and then decided to read what he wrote.

What you read changed the way you saw him forever.

Your eyes had filled with tears when you found the poem, and couldn't help but let them fall. Your hands gripped the paper tightly, and you held it to your chest as you began to shake.

"Hey, I-I thpilled, I thpilled thom tea...thom- on the floor-" you heard Mituna stop talking as he walked into the room, and then you heard two mugs fall onto the floor with a thud. Thankfully, Latula had carpet put in after Mituna's accident for when he fell, so the mugs didn't break.

You turn to him slowly, tears steadily flowing from your eyes.

"What- what a-are..." Mituna began to shake violently as he tried to find words to say. "What..._____ are! NO! You can't! You can't...can't read...!"

You rushed over to Mituna as he began to have a small fit, obviously upset that you had found his secret poem. You were crying hard enough by then that you were hiccuping, and you had a hard time finding your voice to speak.

"M-Mituna," you said hoarsely. "Is this why you've been avoiding me?"

Mituna sunk down to the floor slowly as translucent yellow tears began to stroll down his cheeks, "You...you weren't..."

You sat down in front of him and pulled him into a hug, stroking his dandelion-like hair softly. Mituna tensed up for a moment, and then he had his arms wrapped around you like you'd blow away in the wind the next. You pulled back and gave him a kiss on the cheek, moving his bangs so you could admire his dual-colored eyes.

"I'm flushed for you too, Tuna," you said with a smile and a small sniff. "The poem was beautiful."

Mituna shook his head frantically, "No...It'th- You..."

He let out a frustrated puff of air, and then breathed in slowly. He shut his eyes, and tried to form a coherent sentence.

"You are...more...beautiful," he said slowly, opening his eyes as he finished.

You giggled and kissed his nose, "Whatever you say, Tuna."

He looked at you with a wicked grin, "You mithed."

You raise an eyebrow, and then smile as you lean in. He grabbed your hands tightly as you moved them up to hold his head still, and then pursed his lips out expectantly. You giggled a little at his cuteness, and then kissed him softly. It hadn't been a fancy kiss, and surprisingly it was not sloppy. Instead it was soft and sweet, neither of you moving your lips at all.

As you pulled away you whispered, "I don't care about any of your physical flaws, Mituna. I think you're perfect too."

Mituna blushed yellow and buried his face in your shoulder, "Noooo."

You giggled again and hugged him tightly, smiling widely.

"Hey,_____," Mituna said in the crook of your neck.

"Hmm?" you asked.

"You have beeth," he said.

You glanced at him in confusion, and he sat up and grinned wickedly. He quickly reached out and grabbed one of your boobs, and said, "Boobieth!"

And thus, began a beautiful and long-lasting matespritship between you and Mituna Captor.
Okay, so I needed to write something kind of heartfelt. I've always had this soft spot for Mituna, and I had this one little headcannon rolling around in my thinkpan that he actually knows more than he lets on. Kind of like kids with autism. Like, he's smarter than people think, but he can't physically get it all out. So...yeah.

I also doodled the cover picture when I decided to post this, because...why not? :D

Also, writing his poem with all of those numbers took me at least an hour. I think my brain has fried. Here's the poem written normally, in case you couldn't read it clearly above (I probably couldn't).


:iconweeooplz:

"Dear bumblebee, I see you staring.
It's okay, I don't care, it shows that you're caring.
You give me so much, so it only seems fitting,
for me to try and explain, instead of just quitting.

My vascular pump <nobr>beats</nobr> loud when I see you,
and my sustenance chute chokes up when I touch you.
Your voice is like a breeze, so soft and so light,
while my lisp causes my voice to not sound very right.

I wish I could tell you what it's like to be me,
like a caged feather-beast, just waiting to be set free.
Sometimes I yell, and don't think very clearly,
but my mind shuts up when I know you're here with me.

I'm broken, and bruised, and completely useless.
I have to have you pretend you're my lusus.
I wish I was normal, or a little less clingy,
but I can't, so I'm surprised you haven't already left me.

I wish I could tell you out loud how I feel,
but I'll just end up yelling, or scaring you still.
Most of my tantrums are because I can't tell you,
and because I know I'm not good enough for you.

I'm sorry I'm a burden, I'm sorry I can't spell,
but I want you to know, that I always mean well.
The times that I break things, or really give anything a try,
my <nobr>heart</nobr> aches that I can't help you, so that's when I cry.

Please know that I do think, I do have a brain.
But it's a little broken, so I must sound insane.
But on this piece of paper, I'm pouring my heart out to you.
Because,______...

I'm so very flushed for you."
