*Ethan's POV*
I was walking down the streets of New York, chilled by the breeze that brushed against me. I look over at a sign that says "SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical". Ah, that was a time. I've made so many memories from that show, yet all I can think about is,,,them.
I sit down at a near by bench and reminisce of when we first met. A school was preforming a high school version of Spongebob. A member of the cast's mom set up a zoom meeting for us all to chat and ask questions. I hop on and see a person right in the corner of the screen. My jaw dropped at the sight of their presence. The other students thought I was surprised to see them all but really, it was that one person who stole my interest. Everyone was asking questions and speaking but to be honest I wasn't paying much attention. And then, they stood up.
I was eager to hear what they were gonna say. What are they thinking? Do they find interest in me? All these questions went through my mind. Then they spoke. "Hey, my name is y/n. And I was wondering...". I couldn't finish listening what they were saying. I was so focused on their angelic voice I forgot to listen. "Uh s-sorry I couldn't hear you could you repeat that?" I said stuttering on my words. I couldn't focus the rest of the meeting, but soon enough it came to an end. I didn't want to leave. Their face is all I could think about.
But it's over now. I'll never see them again. It's been years since then too, who knows where they are now. I stand up and start setting off in the same direction as before. I walk into a bakery, i'm in the mood for something sweet. Too focused looking down at the assortment of cakes, brownies, and other treats I barely even glance at the worker. "I haven't seen you in a while mr. Slater!" The cashier said to me. I look up and widen my eyes in shock. It's them. The person from before. "You remember me? A few years ago my school did a zoom with you!" They said with a bright smile. Oh their smile, how I missed it. "I-I yeah of course! You g-guys were such an amazing group." I stumble on my words stilling trying to process what is happening right now. We both stand there for a moment. We both start gazing into each other's eyes.
"I um, oh yea! What would you like? We have plenty of options!" She said, setting their self back into work mode. "You. I MEAN NOT YOU I MEAN UH...I'll have a strawberry cake". They start giggling while putting in my order. I must be so red from embarrassment right now be cause they started comparing me to the cake. "It reminds me a little like you haha. bright and sweet". I decided i'm gonna make a move. "Hey so uh I was wondering if you were wanting to maybe go out for lunch with me? Only if you're cool with it though I don't wanna force you or anythi-". They cut me off. "Hehe yes ofc my break is in 10 minutes."
The minutes pass by slowly but surely. Finally we both walk out the doors and start making our way to the restaurant. God, they look so cute. I never thought i'd see them again let alone eating lunch with them. "So how have you been? I've seen some of the projects you've done since then. You're so talented." I didn't know they followed with what I do. "Yea it's been very busy. But luckily for you, today is my day off." I can see a slight blush on their cheeks. How cute.
We finally make it to the restaurant and take a seat. We order our food and chill in the almost empty building. "So y/n, what are you doing all the way over here? I'm pretty sure last time i checked you're high school is pretty far from here." I am genuinely curious why they moved so far. "After I graduated I just needed a change of pace. It's so much more fun and thrilling here. I've always wanted to live more this way so I finally did it!" Their response is so adorable. "That's such a cute face." I said without thinking. "What do you mean? What face?", "The face of you talking about your life. I'm glad you are here now. I finally get to see you again." I can see them getting shy. I reach my hand to their's, which was sitting on the table. They look up and stare at me. We both snap back to reality and quickly finish our meals.
We both walk out the restaurant and stand in front of each other. Eye contact becoming harder and harder to break. Tension is getting thicker with each second. I finally go in. I lean over for a kiss. They pull away at first but go back in. Their lips are so soft like cotton balls. Warm like my juicy farts. Our tongues slide into to each other's mouths, like worms in wet dirt. We both pull back and stare.
We stand there, quiet. I realize I left the cake in the restaurant. I tell them I'll be right back. I go in and grab the cake. All of a sudden I hear a loud crash. I sprint outside. I see y/n being taken away. Is that... Sans from the 2015 hit game Undertale? I dart towards them, fist ready to save my darling y/n. "GIVE THEM BACK. Before you make me real mad>:(" I say with a stern tone. "eee ee eee ee ee." San snaps back at me and starts running. I rush towards y/n and Sans, but he's too fast. I run out of breathe. They are too far. All of a sudden, Sans jumps back and stabs me in the chest! I start bleeding out through my pectorals and mouth. I lay there on the ground. Unable to get up. "eee ee eeee eee." I gasp in shock. This was all planned? "Y/n this isn't true right?" I say, about to sob. "I'm afraid so. Sorry it had to be this way Ethan. I wish i could explain to you but I can't."
My vision starts to blur. I start fading in and out. The last thing I see in my eyes is them. I'm not mad nor feel hatred towards them. I'm glad I got to see them in my last final moments. Even if this is what it came to. I love you y/n. Even if you don't feel the same. I'll forever keep you in my heart.
