You Can Call Me Thomas - A Valkyrae x Sykkuno story - TEMPORARY COVER

Chapter 11: Valkyrae - Pancakes

     "Sykkuno... I kind of like you."

     He stood in front of me, a smirk on his amused face.

     "Kind of? Rae, I've loved you from the day I met you."

     I gasped, shocked.

     He went on. "Rae, I should've asked you this much, much earlier. Will you be my girlfriend?"

     "Y-yes!"

     He smiled and leaned forward, as if to kiss me, but then opened his mouth and screamed "Pancakes!"

     What?

     Wait, that wasn't Sykkuno's voice, that was Corpse's.

     "Ooh, bacon too."

     I blinked, and suddenly I was lying on a bedspread inside the tent.

     What the actual hell.

     "Is it maple flavored? I'll go on a hunger strike if it isn't."

     "Just add some maple syrup."

     Corpse reached over for the syrup and attempted to pour it onto Sykkuno's plate.

     "Yuck." He pulled back.

     "Oh, look who's awake." Poki pointed in my direction.

     "Nice hair." Sykkuno smirked.

     "I do not need this right now," I grumbled at him, before picking up a paper plate and some pancakes and syrup.

     I was in desperate need of a shower and a fresh change of clothes. Next time I wanted to camp at an actual campground with a comfort center.

     Looking at my tattered jeans, I spotted a red stain. The memories of last night came back.

     Sykkuno and I had almost died.

     He wanted to kiss me.

     Why did I remember that part most clearly?

     Then my dream...

     "...filled with coconuts."

     Sykkuno was doubled over in laughter at Corpse's tale about him vandalizing his teacher's car.

     The sooner I got home, the better.

__________

Kind of a filler chapter... I wanted to stick to alternate Rae's and Sykkuno's POVs every time, no matter what, but it kind of creates difficulties sometimes...
