I have a secret: I lead a double life. I'm your usual school boy at day...

...and Tapas reader at night.

Every evening, when I end my school duties, I hurry up home, where Tapas comics are awaiting me. I lock down in my room, turn on my smartphone and plunge into a wonderful worlds of knights and dragons, kings and queens, cute animals and horrible monsters, funny jokes and dark dramas... and, of course, a lot, a lot, a lot of boys, loving each other!

And every time I open Tapas app, a small cute creature looks at me and smiles to me. Then he opens invisible gates of Tapas garden and leads me into all these wonderful universes of boys, loving each other, to make me happy. The name of this wonderful creature is Tapamon.

No wonder, I felt in love with him. Who wouldn't?!!

But - alas! - I didn't know, how to show him that I love him. One day I even confessed my feelings to him in front of my smartphone screen, but Tapamon didn't answer anything. He just continued to smile on me. I was afraid, that he doesn't answer anything, because he doesn't believe me. So, I decided to prove my feelings to him by earning million Tapas ink and giving it to him.

Many, many years in a row, I watched advertisements and earned Tapas ink. But it wasn't hard, because I always remembered that I'm doing it to show Tapamon the seriousness of my love. And, finally, when I watched on hundred thousand advertisements, I reached my goal.

I had million Tapas ink on my account.

But Tapamon didn't react. He just continued to smile to me, as he always did.

I failed. I've chosen the wrong way and I haven't manage to prove my love to Tapamon. So, I went to bed, disappointed. I dropped a single sparkling tear and closed my eyes.

...and then, out of the blue, Tapamon appeared in front of me.

- Thank you so, so much! - said him. - Now I see that you love me as nobody else, my friend!

Joy and pain were mixed in my heart.

I'm happy to hear it! - said I passionately, - But... am I really ONLY a friend for you?

- Huh? What do you mean? - asked Tapamon, blushing.

- Listen, my dear, beloved Tapamon. The thing is... I love you like a boy, not JUST like a friend. And my heart hurts, because you don't feel the same.

- Like a boy? - asked Tapamon, blushing even more. - But how do you even know that I'm a boy? I don't even have a *** ...

- It's not an obstacle for a loving heart! - answered I with all my passion. - I just know it and that's all!

Tapamon looked uncertain.

- So what's your problem? What do you want from me? - asked he, scratching his big black head.

- Oh, Tapamon! - smiled I, - I just want to see your wonderful smile every morning, when I open my eyes, and every evening, when I go to bed...

- But you already see it, - said Tapamon, shrugging.

- And I also want you to show me your wonderful stories every day! - continued I fervently.

- But I already do it!

- And... and... - at this moment I blushed. - I want you to kiss me.

- Hmmm... But I'm just a picture on the screen. How will I do it? - asked Tapamon.

I started thinking. And, after a minute of complicated reflections, I've come to only right option.

- I can launch the application and touch my face with the screen of my phone! Then your lips will be able to touch my cheek! - said I, and my face lighted up with joy.

- But you always could do it any time you want! - said Tapamon, spreading his little hands.

My heart skipped a bit.

- But... but... it means you always loved me! - said I, crying from happiness.

- Well... uh... I think, you can say so, if you want to call it this way. - said Tapamon, shrugging.

- Thank you... thank you, my little black cinnamon roll... - said I with all my love silently, crying from happiness, and felt asleep.

When I woke up, I woke up as a happy man. I knew, that I love Tapamon, and Tapamon loves me, and it will forever stay this way. Because Tapamon is not just a blob of ink with a hat.
Tapamon is love.
Tapamon is life.
And from this very day, we will always be together.

THE END.
