I had been playing with my friends on my
SquidS4 when I get a phone call from Skull.
"Hi Skull, what's the matter now?" I abruptly told him, "Do you need me to do something or do you just want to play Squid Beatz?"
"... I did want to say something, but I'm going to text you," he replied. I hear a comment of'' Why did I call in the first place? Shit."
Later, I get a text from Skull asking if he could come over to the main S4 house, and if he could stay over with me.
I didn't realize why he was acting so close right now, but I replied:
"Sure, I don't know if you can get here without being lost though. Do you want me to pick you up? By the way, I've never really seen you this willing to hang out with people. Is something going on?"
He replied:
"Yeah, you can pick me up. I just wanted to hang out, why are you acting so suspicious?"
He didn't know this, (probably at least) but I liked him. It really was odd though, considering our personalities.
I went out to pick him up with my car, and kept thinking nervous thoughts about if he knew and was just waiting to say no in person to be polite. Maybe he just wanted to hang out like he said.
I got to his house, and it started to rain. As Skull came out the door, he noticed I was in the car and suddenly became hesitant. I decided to come out because he really was frozen and stilted.
"..."
"Skull, are you okay?" I replied, concerned.
"I'll, uh, I'll tell you in the car."
We both quickly returned to the car, and then he started to look at me.
He then said "I like you…" and nervously went back to looking at me, awkwardly.
"Well, I'm going to head to the S4 house while I think about what I want to say. I really don't know how to respond."
Internally I was panicking, because I was pretty sure he knew I liked him back. I noticed that he was blushing and staring directly into the side of my face, as if he was trying to burn a hole in my mask.
"I… I liked you as well. How do you like me? You don't even know what my face looks like," I replied back.
"Well, I would like to see your face when we get back to the house."
We got back to the house, and both of us, still shocked at what happened, silently went into the living room.
I was so grateful that I made it so nobody was home when we got there, and I sat down on the long sectional couch. Skull then followed and suddenly pulled his bandana onto his neck, revealing a purple blush around his cheeks and nose. He then gestured for me to come closer.
He asked, "Can you take your mask off?"
I agreed, and revealed my tired face, with visible eye bags from staying up until 5am gaming with my friends last night. He started to blush even more, which surprised me. I wasn't even attractive, and he was blushing because of me and my face. He started to touch my face, making me blush and tingle as well.
"Oh my god," Skull then stated, breathing rapidly, "It's…beautiful. Your face is amazing. It's hot."
I then nervously tried to change the subject.
"Do you want to put something on tv?"
"Sure, but I didn't come here to watch cooking shows…" Skull said, and winked.
I still put the Food Network on because I knew he liked it, and I needed a distraction. It didn't work.
"Mask, I wanted to do this for a long while. Thank you."
He then slowly kissed me, his lips begging me to open my mouth. He was so hot.
He moved away.
"I… cannot believe you just did that Skull."
"Do you want to cuddle or something?" He replied.
I agreed, and we started to embrace each other. I noticed he was very warm, and his heartbeat and breath were both rapid.
"Are you nervous? If you are, I am as well, it's okay."
"Yeah, I am nervous. It wouldn't make sense not to be. Anyone would be nervous around you."
"It's okay, I can help you calm down a bit."
We then both fell asleep, on the couch.
