One more day: 30 day oneshots

Shit this one is actually good.

Ship: punznap

Prompt: random pet names cause I can

Notes: this is going to be ooc because thsi is based of an interaction I had with my friend.

It started off simple. The word was so flawless and belonging that sapnap almost didn't acknowledge what the other had said.

"So Baby what are we doing after this?" Punz had asked him. Sapnap had barely processed it before looking back at punz in confusion, having to do a double take just to understand what the fuck the other had called him. Baby. 

Now sapnap didn't really like the idea of pet names, well, the more simple ones like babe or baby. They were too unoriginal and overused, it didn't feel right for him. Every time a partner of his called him one of those, it just didn't sit right with him. Well, neither did those partners 'cause their not punz.

Punz has just a way with words, sapnap would describe it as. The way he could just flirt effortlessly brought the world to shame. It was always just little hints or drops of something which would be somewhat romantic and it would make sapnaps heart melt. 

Most of the time, he didn't know if punz was doing it on purpose or if he just said it to everyone. Mainly because the two were not in a relationship, like at all. Yeah they would be gay with one another. Yeah they might have done some questionable stuff while high or drunk, but they were just friends. Very, very close friends. 

You and I both know that's bull shit.

It was about a week after that, and it happened again. This time, the roles were swapped though. 

Punz was walking down the stairs from his apartment, he was to see sapnap just to hang out. Which was normal. What wasn't normal was sapnap meeting him half way up the stairs. They almost just walked past one another but before they could, sapnap turned around and whistled.

"Heya darling, fancy seeing you here,"

I swear when I tell you punz almost fell over by how fast he stopped. Obviously what sapnap had said was a joke, something to do with a film they had just watched or rather, and sapnap just continued his conversation like it was normal. Punz could barely focus on what the other was saying, instead his mind just repeated the word darling until it was infused in his mind.

The way sapnaps accent made the word sound ten times better, more rich and honeyed, god punz could listen to they voice for days. It was as if sapnap had bewitched punz, made his follow every command just by saying one word. He wasn't bewitched though, they both knew that, you and I knew that. Instead, he was falling, falling into a pit of hopelessness. Loyalty, punz wanted to show sapnap he was loyal, kind, willing. 

Punz was falling in love.

Love, what really was it? It's not a term people through around lightly, however why did this time it feel so right? 

Punz had known he was bound to fall into the pit of hell at one point, all it took was one slip up, one time punz would let his guard down, one time where his emotions spoke louder than his logic. He didn't worry though, he knew the other liked him back. They way sapnap looked at punz, his eyes filled with love and lust, he knew sapnap was as far in the pit at the other.

They both knew it? So why couldn't they just say it?

They both wanted it? What was stopping them?
