He wanted to do it.

But it was terrifying him.

The thought of rejection.

Schlatt stared at Wilbur's discord profile, eyeing the call button. A war raged on in his brain trying to decipher if he should click it or not. He decided against it and instead went to Wilbur's "brother" Tommy.

He clicked the call button and let it ring for a second before Tommy picked up.

"Ello?", he asked in his strong British accent. Schlatt sighed.

"Are you streaming Tommy?", he asked, being wary.

"Yeah, why?", Tommy asked, looking at Schlatt's discord profile picture lose its green ring around it, turning gray.

It lit up again when he said, "I need to talk to you, so could you maybe end it? It's fine if you don't want to though-"

"Yeah yeah of course man, is everything alright?", Tommy asked as he typed an apology in the Minecraft chat before deleting the message and ending the stream.

"It's just- I've got this uh, this crush and it's kind of.. crushing me that I can't tell him", Schlatt started off.

"Him?! You're gay Schlatt?", Tommy asked. Schlatt nodded, and then said "Yes" quietly in the mic after realizing Tommy couldn't see his little head gesture.

"So why are you coming to me about this and not Wilbur? He's your best friend", Tommy questioned. Schlatt's heartbeat sped up at the name and took a deep breath to calm himself down before responding.

"That's the thing.. you see I kinda really like Wilbur.. a lot", he said, a small weight lifted off his shoulders at the out loud confession.

Tommy just stared at his monitor in shock.

"YOU LIKE WILBUR?!", he screamed accidentally into the mic. Schlatt winced and turned Tommy's microphone volume down.

"Yes, and maybe don't scream next time please?", Schlatt asked, starting to wonder if deciding to tell Tommy of all people was a good idea.

Tommy glanced at the figure sitting next to him with widened eyes, and his reaction was mirrored.

Schlatt started to worry about Tommy being silent for so long.

"Tommy..?", he questioned, looking at his profile in confusion.

Instead of Tommy's higher pitched voice he was met with a much deeper voice with an even stronger British accent, the voice sending shivers down his spine.

"Schlatt?"

It was Wilbur. Wilbur.

Schlatt's heartbeat went even faster, his breathing quickened, and his face went red.

"W-Wilbur..? I-I thought I was talking to T-Tommy..", he stuttered, feeling sharp tears prick at his eyes.

"I came over to Tommy's for his stream..", Wilbur muttered, his eyes filled with guilt.

Schlatt went silent but his icon still had the green ring around it, and small sniffing sounds came from his end of the call.

"Y-Y'know what? I-I didn't m-mean it, I'm sorry, I'm j-just gonna g-go", he managed to get out before a sob slipped out and he quickly ended the call.

Wilbur just stared at the screen for a few minutes after the call ended, emotions spiraling down through his body and back up to his head, confusing him and making his brain hurt.

"I gotta go back home Tommy..", he muttered. Tommy flashed him a sympathetic look before nodding and shutting off his monitor.

Wilbur left and headed back home. He flopped down on his bed and looked at his phone, opening the FaceTime app and clicking Schlatt's name.

Wilbur almost decided to end it after a while of Schlatt not answering before a small voice answered, the camera off.

"H-hello..?", Schlatt sputtered out, making Wilbur's heart drop from his sad tone.

"Hey Schlatt.. I'm sorry, I just wanted to talk with you!", he shoved out when he heard Schlatt wince from Wilbur's voice.

"Your confession earlier.. I was just in shock. I didn't mean to make you feel like I didn't like you. I had no idea how to respond, but I know how now and I'd like to just say.. I like you too", Wilbur said, staring at the screen anxiously.

Silence.

No answer.

Before he heard Schlatt giggle.

"Y-you do?", he asked.

Wilbur nodded, knowing Schlatt could see his face. He smiled as Schlatt's camera turned on, a smile also plastered on his face.

"Well I'm glad that's sorted out. So when are you coming to the UK?", Wilbur asked, making Schlatt laugh.

"As if I'd ever go to British land, you should come to America", Schlatt suggested.

Wilbur shook his head. "It's either the UK or nothing", he said.

Schlatt huffed. "Guess I'll visit soon then, I gotta check about plane tickets and my passport and stuff", he muttered.

Wilbur's heart fluttered, his smile widening.

"Then I guess I'll see you soon princess. I love you~", Wilbur said, ending the call fast so Schlatt couldn't comment on the pet name.

Schlatt just rolled his eyes and giggled again, opening the messages app.
