The black-haired boy took an unsteady breath, his shoulders shaking. Red forced his head down so Green wouldn't have to see it... but it was obvious what was happening. Tears had begun streaming down Red's face.

"I didn't... I never knew... Y-you know as well as me that I'm not smart like you... a-and I'm oblivious to what happens more than half the time anyway... The only time I'm alert and focused is when I'm battling... I'd never realized..." He choked on a sob he'd been attempting to stifle. All Red wanted was the friendship between him and Green back.
