--------------------------------------------------------------

They had been filming for 7 months, and they were no where near done. Bugs was there everyday, overworking himself, even if he wasn't in a scene, he was helping others at a table reading or helping out back stage. Today, him and Daffy had to film a scene together, along with other toons. So, Daffy camped out on Bugs couch in his trailer. The scene was when Jordan meets the tunes, in their world. They woke up at 3:AM, filled with coffee and ready to act. Before acting, they would go over a normal breakfast, small breakfast, and practicing reading, the staff would place their marks on the floor and teach them what props to use. After this, came hair and make-up, and any costumes they would need. Daffy was having trouble without having any visuals considering all the special effects, it was hard for him to understand where certain things would be but alas, he managed. After his scene however, he decided to follow Bugs around. He still wasn't having a good relationship with his costars, he never knew why but all they would say is that he was a fraud and a freeloader and try to beat him up. While hanging with Bugs, he realized something he never thought.... He was a pushover. Constantly, they would have to run from set to set, trying their best not to ruin their make-up and making the staff and other co-stars happy. Bringing people coffee, helping with their lines, speaking with paparazzi, completing other people's errands, acting out with other's scenes, talking to everyone who was having cold feet, the list went on, and on, and on... Daffy was told to bring Bugs and a staff member some drinks, when he returned, he overhead the staff member saying,"I can't believe we're making a picture for you good for nothing tunes! Its bullshit you were the one who got to decide all of this!" Bugs just stood there, upset. This happened all the time for him, he wasn't sure why but... There's was always somebody there to ruin his day.... Daffy walked carefully around the corner and came to Bugs, handing him the drink they asked for. "Ohhh! You and that good for nothing duck! You can drown for all i care!", he grabbed the cups, filled with freezing red liquid, and poured it all over them. He crushed the paper cups aggressively, throwing them to his side, and walked away. "Eh... Sorry you had to see that Daf...", Bugs started to walk to his trailer, he was done for filming and he needed a long nights rest for tomorrow. Daffy followed behind him. They stayed quiet all the way to the trailer. Once, inside, Bugs grabbed his ears and twisted them, trying to drip the juice off and into his small kitchen sink.. Daffy slowly walked up to him,"Hey,... Are you ok...?" Bugs hit his fist onto the counter out of frustration. "Ehhh... Not really.", he sulked. Daffy sat down on the couch, which was only a few steps from the "kitchen". He tilted his head,"Do you....wanna talk about it?"Bugs turned to him, stood straight, and sighed loudly, before walking over to him. He sat down onto the couch-"Daffy! You've been sleeping on this???!!"
Daffy started laughing like crazy,"Yeah!" Bugs started laughing with him,crying tears of laughter,"Daffy this is literally hard as fu-"
"Bugs' there are children watching-!", Daffy cried. Which made them both chuckle. They got tired after a while and leaned back, facing forward. "Damn, I'm sticky..!", Daffy sighed annoyed. "Daffy the children-!", Bugs cried sarcastically. "Mehhh, screw 'em...!". They chuckled for a moment before Daffy sat up and asked,"So, what happened just now?" Bugs crooked his eyebrows, glancing down and then to his friend,"Ehh... Its always like that..."He clasped his hands in his lap. Daffy leaned closer to him sympathetically,"always?" Bugs chuckled sadly,"Yeah...there's always one of 'em...and usually its you hehh!" Daffy blushed in embarrassment. He started to stumble on his words,"whuh-duh-uh... Duh- not like that!" Bugs giggled,"Careful Daffy! You're starting to sound like Porky!" Daffy blushed even harder but then started to look away, sulking,"...I never meant it like that...". Bugs placed his hand on Daffy's shoulder for a second,"...I know..." Daffy picked up his feet and placed them onto the couch, curling into a ball,"Do you always do what you did today?" Bugs crooked his eyebrows,"what do you mean?" Daffy turned to Bugs,"Y'know... Helping everyone like you did... Doing all those things...". Bugs leaned to Daffy,"Its not like i want to do all those things... They expect it... I gotta stay perfect... Perfect ole Bugs Bunny...!". Daffy, without hesitation, pulled his friend into a hug,"I'm sorry for treating you like that... I didn't know you had all this pressu- man, we're sticky!" He quickly pulled himself off of Bugs, disgusted by the texture of the juice that now dried. Bugs, who now noticed it, starting cringing as well. "Ehh, lets go wash this off..!" They both ran to the bathroom, both barely fitting. "They couldn't get you a better trailer ?! You're Bugs Bunny! Shame on them!" Daffy grumbled. The bathroom was just a sink, toilet and wall shower, not even a tub... Just a removable shower head and a drain at the bottom. They both took turns passing the nozzle back forth to each other, spaying shampoo where ever they could. Bugs,accidentally getting soap in his eye, had Daffy help him. "Here...",he said gently. He place a wet rag onto his eye for several moments and then back it away,"Now open...!" Bugs slowly blinked to take a look at what was in front of him. His eye no longer stung but.... Seeing a messy wet duck, who he liked, right in front of him, being the most gentle he had ever seen him.... He didn't know what to do but stare...
"Hey, do you have Dawn dish soap?" Bugs snapped back to reality,"Dawn dish soap? What do you need that for?" Daffy shrugged,"Its good for the ducks, I'm a duck... So, its good enough for me!" Bugs rubbed his forehead, he could feel a headache coming on,"No....no, I do not have Dawn dish soap." They both finished washing up, shared a towel to dry off with, and as Daffy headed back to the couch, Bugs said,"Hey, sleep in bed with me." Daffy quickly spun around,"What?" Bugs flushed with pink cheeks, realizing what he had said,"Nononononononono, I just meant... Because of how hard the couch is... It would... Be better to just... Share the bed with me.... Unless you don't want to?" Daffy who was slightly stunned just responded with an,"Okay" finding his way to the bedroom and laying on the right side of the bed. Bugs made his way back there as well. The bed was queen sized, so even though they had space between each other, it was still a little snug. Daffy made himself comfortable, facing the other direction, and placing the comforter around him. The moment Bugs' head hit the pillow, he turned to face his friend. He thought about how nice he was for a change and giggled quietly. "So cute..."he thought quietly. His cheeks appeared red and he remembered the memory of the soaked duck, just an inch away from his body, while washing each other in the shower. He rubbed his head thinking,"I got it bad....!" The motion of him caused Daffy to look his way, and there they lied, eye-to-eye. He looked away nervous and embarrassed,"Haha .... Y'know Porky was saying something silly... On the phone a lil while ago... Remember when we had went out for dinner...and i confessed and....stuff..." Bugs was nervous and scared about what the pig had said...maybe he ratted him out. "What did he say?"he responded calmly. Daffy blushed deeper, looking away and then glancing back up,"Uh...heheh... He uh... He said it look like we were going on a date...but i said that was crazy-" he noticed Bugs had gotten even redder. "Right...?" Daffy continued, only paying attention to Bugs. The rabbit clenched his mouth... Before beginning to speak,"Well... Maybe not." Daffy raised his eyebrows,"Maybe not,....what?" Bugs looked down to his side, his heart was pounding faster and faster. "Its not crazy for us to....date."he looked up to see a duck redder than a tomato and eyes glistening more beautiful than any starry sky. "What are you saying...?"
Bugs sat up quickly, the sheet falling down to his waist and declared,"I like you!" He shut his eyes,placing his hands over them, scarred of how his closest friend would react. He could feel the motion of Daffy sitting up, and soon felt his hand touch his forearm, and slowly felt the pressure of Daffy moving his hand away. He opened his eyes, Daffy was sitting on his feet, his eyes filled with a need for answers. "Really...?" Bugs eyes widened, slightly offensive,"Yes." Daffy looked down to the mattress,"Even after everything...? And even though I'm just the same mess I always was?" Bugs leaned down to his friend, his face beside his,"Especially, then." He smiled gently and filled with a warm love, making Daffy sit up to look him in the eyes. "...I have a confession..."Daffy cooed. Bugs crooked his eyebrows and smiled deviously,"Another one?" Daffy blushed harder and slapped Bugs' shoulder softly in an embarrassed way, he bit his lip for a second before getting out an,"I like you too." Bugs placed his hands to his head,"What?! I thought you hated me!" Daffy pressed his eyebrows down,"No. I was just...upset..." Bugs placed his hands down,"upset? About what?" Daffy looked down, somewhat regretfully,"I was upset because... Once, you came along... Nobody cared about me anymore... I used to be a symbol for the military! And, now I'm just... Some quacky silly duck that everyone laughs at and hates..." Bugs placed his hand on the ducks shoulder,"Daffy.." The duck looked at him over his shoulder,"And, y'know what the worst part was...? Everytime i tried to hate you... I couldn't..! Because...! I admired you're acting and you're just.... YOU! And, it made me hate myself...which made me upset at you at times...but....I never could figure out how to hate you... And, i tried. Believe me heh." Bugs gently pressed his forehead to Daffy's shoulder. Daffy gently placed his head to Bugs' head, snuggling his face into his fur and ears. Bugs placed his arms around Daffy, and held him into the softest loving embrace,"so, what does this mean?" And then it struck them... What did it mean?
They both properly sat up straight, beside each other on the left left side of the mattress. Bugs' feet placed neatly on the floor and Daffy's just ever so slightly, dangling off the bed. "So.... We both like each other.... Do we... Go out? Like... For real?" They both hummed in confusion. "What about Warner's bros? They'd never let us.... Y'know how the public is...wheres the hippies when ya need em!"Daffy exclaimed. Bugs sighed,"Your right... They'd never let us get away with it...."he placed his pointer finger snug to the bottom of his chin. "You say it as if we're trying to steal a diamond or something! Hahaha!"Daffy joked heart-fully which in turn made Bugs giggle. "No... We gotta be serious heh..!"Bugs' refuted. They both coughed awkwardly....
....
...
"Lola!", they exclaimed in unison. "She'll be our decoy! They'd never catch onto us!", Daffy giddied. "And, with this movie! They'd totally believe it!"Bugs added. "Hmmmm...."
"What? Is something wrong?"Bugs asked. "No. Its nothing like that heh.... But how do we act in public... Like even on a date?"
Bugs folded his arms in thought but claimed,"I guess we'll do it all in secret, no "suspicious" stuff till we're both outta the public eye..." Daffy winked promiscuously, making Bugs laugh. "So,... Do you think it's still a good idea i sleep here?"Daffy asked, while he was starting to get back in his position he was before Bugs woke him. "Why do ya ask if you're obviously gonna sleep here anyway? Heh." Daffy turned his body facing Bugs, who was now starting to lay back down under the covers.
They faced each other once more,"Because, i like teasing you. Heh." The room of this trailer was being lit by the outside street pole, allowing them to only see what it illuminated their entire conversation. But, seeing Daffy in this light, he had never seen him look so beautiful.
They spent the rest of the night talking about unimportant things, and slowly falling asleep next to each other, and waking up together the next morning.
