[chapter 33]

---

the little bell jingled as sapnap opened the glass door to the cafe. he spotted the mop of blond hair he knew so familiarly and quickly made his way over to the table. punz was turning a spoon around in a cup of murky coffee, eyes trained on the table he was sat at.

"hi." sapnap smiled as he slid into the booth. punz stopped stirring the coffee and looked up to greet sapnap.

"sorry," punz blurted out as soon as sapnap was settled. the raven sighed quietly and reached across the table to cover punz's hand with his.

"i was just being stupid, i understand if you never wanna talk with me again. it was an accident, i promise, and we never have to talk about it ever again if you don't want to—"

"shut up, punz," sapnap said gently, lacing their fingers together. "you didn't do anything bad. all we did was kiss."

"you say that as if one little gesture couldn't have ruined our entire relationship if you wanted it to," punz replied quietly, but he squeezed sapnap's hand, perhaps for comfort.

"well, it didn't. now, a question i have for you is if you actually like me, or if you were just in the heat of the moment, or whatever." sapnap looked away from the blond to mutter his order to their waiter.

punz's face went pink, pinker than when sapnap first held his hand. "you could... say i had just a little crush on you."

"had?" sapnap grinned. punz glared at him, but his eyes were staring adoringly into sapnap's.

"technically, i still do, i guess." punz shrugged. "i think i've had one since i ever found your instagram, but obviously i didn't think i'd ever meet you, and... why are you staring at me?"

sapnap beamed. "i'm just happy. you're cute when you ramble, too."

"shut up!"

after a bit, their grins fell to tiny smiles and their words died down. punz opened his mouth, then closed it, then opened it again.

"what are we?" punz asked softly.

"what do you want to be?" sapnap replied, twirling a spoon around the sugar in his coffee. punz shrugged.

"more than friends, i guess?"

"as in, boyfriends?" sapnap's smile widened again while pink bled into punz's cheeks.

slowly, the blond nodded. "as in boyfriends."
