Boshi's Shades Ch 2
Chapter 2: Boshi's Fear
Yoshi was excited as he was hugged, he felt relieved to know Boshi wasn't mean at all because he knew deep inside that this Yoshi in particular also had a big heart, as big as the Super Happy Tree. It was only a matter of time for him to show it to the rest of the Yoshies. He'll soon join all of the Yoshies and play like every Yoshi has!
Boshi and Yoshi have been looking for a way to cross the chasm ever since they managed to stop Kamek on his tracks. They kept walking at the edge of the chasm until they found a bridge they were able to cross. It was quite away from Kamek was however.
Boshi was nervous the whole way, he did not stop rubbing his hands together and the pose he was more known for of supremacy had been reduced to the one of a very timid Yoshi, his pink eyes darting left and right out of control. As soon as the bridge was spotted Boshi sprinted.
"Quick Yoshi, Lets go get my shades!" Before Boshi was able to cross the bridge Yoshi grabbed his arm, Boshi's foot was just above the first step of the wooden bridge. "What are you doing?" As soon as Boshi stepped on the bridge it dangled showing how flail it was.
"We can't go too fast here, Boshi." Yoshi said as he started crossing slowly, as Yoshi approached the mid section it dangled back and forth, it was very unstable. "I don't think we can cross together! Wait until I pass this bridge, then you go!" Boshi nodded from the start of the bridge. Yoshi was very careful with his footing, with enough finesse he was able to get by without the bridge even swaying so much. Yoshi stepped at the other side and grinned. "I did it!" Yoshi turned to see Boshi at the end of the bridge. "Your turn!" Yoshi noticed that Boshi was distracted with something at the other side.
Boshi watched how one of the Koopas was pointing at him while laughing; this made Boshi nervous at this and got pissed off rather easily. "What are you laughing at punk? I'll eat you in a second!" The Koopa just laughed as he pointed at him.
"Your eyes are kinda funny!" The Koopa laughed louder, Boshi watched how the baddie laughed and pointed, Boshi began to lose strength in his stance and began to shiver, and this brought him back terrible memories from his past.
Boshi closed his eyes as hard as he could; the darkness in his sight quickly brought him back to his past.
Boshi was a very young Yoshi; he looked like the rest of the Yoshies as well. He stared at a Goomba that was laughing at him nonstop. "Don't laugh at me you Goomba! I'll stomp you!" The Goomba kept laughing at him.
"Your eyes are so stupid! Those are the girliest eyes I've seen!" Goomba laughed louder at him, Boshi was close to crying, but he shook his head and spoke back.
"My eyes are not stupid! My mommy says they are beautiful!" As Boshi said this, the Goomba laughed louder yet.
"This is hilarious! Hey guys, this Yoshi thinks his eyes are beautiful because mommy said so!" As the Goomba said this to the other creatures around, Goombas, Koopas, Paratroopas, Shyguys and even other Young Yoshies began laughing. Boshi looked all around him and saw all of them laughing, pointing and mocking him. Boshi covered his eyes and began to cry.
Boshi shuddered in place as he sat down at the edge of the bridge, Yoshi saw this and was preoccupied, but he was already at the other side of the bridge.
"Boshi, is everything alright? Get up; we need to find your shades!" Yoshi yelled form the other side of the bridge. Boshi heard him and got up, however he had his eyes covered. "Boshi, open your eyes, we must go!"
"N-no! I can cross this bridge without seeing!" Boshi attempted to take the first step; he was searching around with his foot around the gap of the two planks that made conformed the bridge.
"Quit fooling around! You need to look at what you are doing!" Yoshi yelled.
"No way! I'm not gonna open my eyes ever again until I get my glasses!" Boshi kept trying to cross the bridge; he almost tripped but managed the very first step of the bridge. "I can do it, see?"
Yoshi scoffed, he was never going to be able to cross at this rate. "Just, listen to my directions and step where I tell you!" Boshi nodded while having his eyes covered. "Okay, uhh- move your foot forward a bit." Yoshi watched Boshi's movements making sure he wouldn't fall, as the foot hovered above the second plank Yoshi yelled. "Okay, step there!" Boshi followed his instructions and managed to get on the second plank.
This continued for several minutes, Boshi was already halfway, steps were starting to get harder as the bridge wiggled for each step, and Boshi covered his eyes as well which didn't allow him to hold the side ropes which made matters worse. Yoshi was starting to get nervous, he wanted to stretch his hand to pull him towards him as quickly as he could, and he was yet a bit far away.
"Okay Boshi, just a bit more!" Yoshi noticed as the ropes were starting to snap from his end, Yoshi started to panic. "Boshi run towards me quick!"
Boshi seemed to be nervous at the sudden change of orders. "W-what's happening?"
"Don't question it just run!" Boshi began running quickly, he advanced a few steps but he quickly tripped on and fell. Boshi felt himself falling from an even higher place than he anticipated, he felt himself stopping in a sudden motion, was this it?
Boshi opened his eyes to see Yoshi holding his arm, "Boshi are you alright?" Boshi closed his eyes as he realized he was still alive.
"Don't look at my eyes and just pull me up!" Boshi insisted, Yoshi quickly pulled Boshi back up to solid ground. Yoshi was worried about him, he kept covering his eyes.
"Boshi, what happened back there that made you cover your eyes like that?" Yoshi asked curiously.
"It's none of your business! Just take me to where that flying Koopa is at!" Boshi demanded, but he kept his eyes covered at all moments.
"Boshi, we won't be able to get there in time if you keep covering your eyes." Yoshi insisted, but seeing as Boshi didn't want to open his eyes, he just gave up and helped him move. "I'll be your amazing eyes for a bit if you don't want to open your eyes." Boshi growled a bit as Yoshi said this.
"I repeat, my eyes are NOT amazing!" Boshi said as he walked ahead. “I’m a cool Yoshi! My eyes have nothing to do with it!” Boshi said. Yoshi wondered if he covered his eyes because people thought he was a girly Yoshi with those pink eyes, Yoshi thought on how ridiculous that was, there were so many pink male Yoshies in the isle as well, it just didn’t make sense in his opinion.
They walked for hours getting close to where Kamek had fallen, Boshi was still covering his eyes yet despite walking.
"Hey slowpoke, are we there yet?" Boshi asked as they walked.
"I think we will take a few more minutes, it's awfully hard when you are not looking where you walk." Yoshi said in response, Boshi growled.
"Maybe your directions are sluggish! Maybe that's why we are slow!" Boshi said yet covering his eyes. Yoshi stepped aside and left a path open for Boshi.
"Then be my guest, go as fast as you please." As soon as Yoshi said this, Boshi ran as fast as he could, he tripped close by with a rock and landing face down on the ground as quickly as he sprinted. Yoshi approached him quickly, "I told you! Looking where you go is important, why don't you open your eyes?"
Boshi sat upright and shook his head. Soon enough his stomach grumbled, it had been a while since they had been walking and they haven't eaten for a while.
"Well, since you don't need to see I hope you are able to find food by yourself." Yoshi said to hopefully make Boshi understand.
"Oh no, please! I'm really hungry! Could you get something for me please?" Yoshi shrugged but he agreed, he would never let a Yoshi starve.
Boshi sat down at a nearby tree, he kept his eyes shut and rubbed his stomach. Yoshi looked around and smiled as he saw an ample selection of fruits hanging around.
"There is a lot of fruit here Boshi! Stay there and I'll bring you some of them!" Yoshi wandered off to find some fruit.
In the blackness of Boshi's vision he thought on his favourite fruit to eat, but Yoshi wouldn't really know which one it was. Boshi felt his stomach rumble and wished for Yoshi to bring him some watermelons. The footsteps came back to Boshi and he was handed the fruit in his hands, Boshi did not want to open his eyes however.
"I should at least open your eyes to eat." Yoshi said as he sat down besides Boshi. He didn't want to open his eyes, even if he didn't really see, he could easily smell what fruit he had, and he was used to not seeing so much already.
He sniffed the fruit that was handed to him, he smelled the very recognizable reddish core of the fruit he had, he felt the smoothness of it as well, and the greenish smell of the carcass that held all the yummy parts of the fruit. He couldn't resist anymore and had to open his eyes to confirm if it was true.
Boshi saw the watermelon that Yoshi had handed to him, so bright and shiny that he could see his own reflection in it.
"Why, this is my favourite fruit! How did you know?" Boshi asked, he didn't understand how he could've possibly known.
"Well, I want to get to understand all of the Yoshies. When I saw your bright pink eyes it reminded me of the bright inside of a watermelon so that's why I chose it." Yoshi said as he swallowed the watermelon he had whole.
Boshi stared at the reflection on the watermelon one last time. "You knew all that just by looking at my eyes?" Boshi asked him.
"I don't know, it was honestly just a guess, but I had also seen you eat tons of watermelons before." Yoshi smiled at him, he noticed that Boshi had his eyes open as well. His eyes kept their bright and lively pink color which made Yoshi ever so happier, even if he didn't see Boshi's favourite fruit in them, he now saw a generous and happy Yoshi, there really wasn't that much Yoshi knew about him, he was fairly sure Boshi was a fantastic Yoshi to get along with.
The two Yoshies ate rather quickly given their nature, Yoshi saw in Boshi something he thought would never see in his entire life, Boshi was smiling and happened to be content with himself. "I'm glad to see you are more relaxed Boshi!" Boshi blinked for a second and then got back up on his feet.
"Come on! We gotta go find my shades!" Boshi was walking towards where he thought they had to go.
"Boshi, you've had your eyes closed all day," Yoshi points the opposite direction Boshi was walking; "we have to go this way."
Boshi turned around and walked to where Yoshi pointed at; he stopped suddenly and then covered his eyes again. "I need you to guide me again!" Yoshi rolled his eyes about and helped him with directions once again.
Yoshi didn't really like having to guide someone when they could simply walk on their own, but Yoshi was very happy as he saw Boshi eating earlier. His suspicions were true on what Boshi hid from the world, or rather from himself. He is as kind as any of the other Yoshies in the isle but it was only a matter of Boshi realizing this.
The most important thing that Yoshi had to do aside from finding Boshi's shades was to help him lose his fear of being mocked on, if he made this happen he would only use the glasses for summer to hide from the sun, and not from the world.
