Kellic One-Shots

Did You Forget?

So uh this is a one-shot and I've never written these before so if this sucks I'm so sorry I give you all absolute permission to circle me while chanting tribal chants and to burn me alive while forcing me to watch all my loved ones tear down my posters because let's be real that's true pain right there.

Vic's P.O.V.

My alarm clock sang loudly in my ears. Normally, this would make me groan and give myself the '5 more minutes and I would wake up' promise, only to make myself late for school. But today... Today was different. Today was my 17th birthday. I shot up in bed almost immediately, trying to wipe the smile off my face. I've always had a strong love for birthdays. It was the one day that everyone HAD to be nice to me. Or close enough, anyway.

I swung my legs over to the edge of my bed and pushed myself off, landing on my fuzzy carpeted floor. Then I walked over to my alarm, turning it off. I continued with my morning routine, but I won't bore you with that.

My family was still asleep, and since I had to get up so early for school, they normally just saw me in the afternoons. So, since I was alone, I did a slight little 'IT'S MY MOTHERFUCKING BIRTHDAY' dance and headed out into the dark morning to catch the bus. I tapped my vans on the black pavement, humming to myself a tune I just made up. Finally, headlights flashed in the distance, coming closer and closer. I sighed happily, then stepped forward as the bus pulled up to my driveway.

I knew my best friend, Kellin, would be waiting for me like he was every morning, and my heart skipped a beat like it always did. Lately, I had been feeling something else, more than a friendship kind of love, for him. I didn't know what to do with that information yet, so I had just kept quiet while awkwardly blushing while he kept being his adorable self... wait what? OKAY FINE I had a crush on him, SO WHAT? He was my best friend and I would never want to lose that.

The bus driver stared at me weirdly as I stood there, hesitating stepping onto the bus. Once I realized I should probably be a normal human being and move, I pushed myself forward and up the few stairs. As I excitedly looked for Kellin, expecting him to be in our normal seat, my heart sank. He wasn't here. He hadn't texted me either, but I assumed he just wanted to wait to say something in person. Oh well, he probably just missed the bus, right? Right. I walked over and sat in our normal seat alone, plugging in my headphones. Nothing was going to ruin my mood.

As the bus pulled up to the school and everyone filed off, I still looked around the area, totally expecting Kellin to be there holding a Starbucks cup and balloons like he always did on my birthday. It was our tradition to do that for each other ever since we were little and had to ask our moms to get both items for us. But as my eyes scanned the moving crowd, all I saw were unfamiliar faces. I sighed and shrugged. Guess I'll see him later.

A few classes went by slowly as I stared at the clock, waiting for the lunch bell to ring since that's the only other time I saw Kellin during the day. And finally, after 3 and a half long hours, it did. I smiled, collecting my books and practically running to the commons. (cafeteria) I walked over to the table I sat at with Kellin, since we sat alone, and took my normal place, folding my hands over one another and waiting. I began to think- what if he forgot? What if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore? Did I do something wrong? I was off in my own little world of self-doubt when I felt a presence next to me. I looked to my right, jumping as I saw my best friend staring at me with an amused expression.

"Damn it Kellin you practically just gave me a heart attack!" I covered my heart as it beat faster than a nORMAL HUMAN HEART SHOULD EVER BEAT. He laughed his cute little laugh (oops I said cute) and pushed his hair back with his hands.

"''Twas the goal, my friend." He replied simply.

"'Twas?" He shrugged again, causing me to laugh. We both fell silent, but we were smiling. I was expecting a sudden large outburst of birthday song choruses from him within the next two seconds, but it never came. My heart sank once again, but I didn't want to sound like I was overreacting, so I didn't say anything. We talked like we always did and laughed like we always did, but my laughter was faked. He forgot, and I was crushed. Through 14 years of friendship, he had not once forgotten my birthday. The end of lunch was signaled by the somewhat overly-loud bell, and Kellin and I bid our goodbyes. I walked towards my next class feeling every sad feeling you could ever imagine. I stopped to the side of my next class's door, changing my mind. Instead, I half-jogged to the bathroom and found a suitable stall to sit in where no one could hear my muffled cries.

Kellin's P.O.V.

Today was Vic's birthday, and the plan was working perfectly. Today was either going to ruin our friendship or make everything AWESOME. I had to take this chance, though. I couldn't help it any longer. I avoided the bus home, driving instead, and called Vic's mom to make sure everything was planned exactly how I wanted. Now, it was all about the reaction. My heart beat faster and I pulled into my driveway, trying to calm myself as I made the short walk to Vic's house.

Vic's P.O.V.

I sighed. Today was actually pretty fucking awful. I slung my backpack off my one shoulder it had been resting on, setting it on the ground. I wasn't in the mood for anything right now. I can't believe my BEST FRIEND, the only person I truly trusted, forgot my birthday. And, he ditched me in the morning AND afternoon.

"Mom?" I called out. Nothing. "Dad?" Nothing. I even called for my younger brother. "Mike?" Still nothing. Even my family forgot. Well doesn't that just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

I sluggishly dragged myself up the carpeted stairs and threw my bedroom door open. The curtains were drawn, making the room rather dark. Weird. I guess my mom did that before she left to wherever she was right now. I groaned, flipping the light switch on because I was too lazy to open the curtains for light.

I gasped.

My room was SURROUNDED in balloons, each other with a different quirky message written on them. I saw things like "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!" and "VIKTUR U LIL SHIT UR TOO OLD." But the thing I was gasping at was the fact that my best friend stood in the center of my bedroom with a cup of Starbucks and a small, light blue balloon that read in big letters, "I LIKE YOU."

I was shocked. 100% shocked. Kellin smiled, obviously nervous, and offered me the drink he was holding. I laughed, accepting it and taking a small sip.

"Thought I forgot, didn't you?" He said finally. I looked up, smiling again, and nodded. I felt so stupid. Of course he didn't forget. And... He liked me! He actually liked me. I liked him, he liked me... There was only one thing to do. I looked back to the ground, then up again. I set my drink down and stepped forward without a word. Kellin watched me, confused, as I took a huge leap of faith. Quickly, so he had no time to react, I kissed him. He stood still for a second, then kissed back, passionately. We stood there like that for a minute, then broke apart. He just stared at me, smiling super big, mirroring my wide smile. Then I grabbed his delicately small hand, and whispered to my best friend,

"I like you, too."
