- soft bf x pico

I..It's like..

his heart just got shattered..!

"Oh.. I'm so so sorry! But you can't join this club right now." The smaller girl said with a saddened expression on her face. With it already being through the semester, art club got full in a matter of days.

He just.. happened to be too late.

"..What do you mean? My friend recommended me this club this morning..! She's even a member of it herself." He said, holding onto his light bag.

"Yeah.. a lot of students came by lunch period to sign up. And the last person was here just a few moments before you showed up.." She explained.

Benjamin was upset. It was already the second semester and he still didn't find any clubs to be in. Of course he would choose art club. But since it wasn't available, he had nothing..

"I..It's okay! I understand.." He looked down. Trying to hide the fact he was upset. But his eyes drooped with sadness.

The girl couldn't stand seeing him this way. "Mmh.. Okay! I'll talk about it with the president to let one more person in- But I can't guarantee you a yes!" She folded her arms.

"O..Of course! I won't trouble you anymore. Thank you..!" He waved, leaving the art room.

As he walked down the halls, he was still a little disappointed. If push comes to shove and he can't join the club, what club would he be in?

He was no sort of athlete. So sports clubs were out of the question.

He was smart, but not a rocket scientist. Stuff like computer science or biology club wouldn't go good either.

He wasn't really one to speak his mind that often. Especially in front of a crowd of people. So the news club wasn't an option.

He's the only person in his grade level who wasn't in a club.

He was feeling.. left out. He felt lame!

A sigh came from his mouth as he walked the somewhat empty halls. Unlike everyone else who stayed at the school for their clubs, he always just went back home since he had nothing to do.

"you're so sad."

Benjamin heard a voice in the distance. He stopped walking and turned around. But no one was even there.

"..you look alone."

Was this in his head? Or was someone actually there. Talking to him right now?

"I use to be a loner myself. But I've realized."

The voice didn't sound familiar. If anything it sounded like someone not even in his class. "Hello?" He called out, waiting for a response.

"I don't have to be alone anymore. And neither do you."

The voice sounded closer.. As if someone was talking to him behind a wall. Or from another room. As if they could see him but he couldn't see them..

"We can be alone. Together. There's no reason why we should hide our loneliness from each other.."

He turned the corner, the further he walked toward the voice, the louder it got.

"And there's only one reason why I'd share such weakness toward you."

"it..s- it's because I.."

He found it. Benjamin found it at last, After following the sound of the voice. He was able to pinpoint where it was coming from. He opened the door-

"It's because.. I'm in love with you!"

He stood right before the male. His soft blue like hair. His school bag that was wrapped around his body. And the light blush that started to appear onto his face. He was so close..

Pico's eyes widened in both terror and embarrassment.

"GAAHH-" He jumped back, completely dropping the papers he was holding in his hands. The room that use to be dark was lit up by the door opening. Shining its afternoon daylight into it.

"I- I'm.. so very sorry!" Benjamin raised his hands frantically. Pico was still trying to calm down. He just said that in front of somebody. In front of another dude! Right to his face too!

He instantly grabbed Benjamin by his shoulders, pulling him inside the room and shutting the door.

"W..Wait! I'm super sorry..!! I heard someone talking and I thought they were directed toward me so I followed the sound and-"

"no.. its fine." Pico interrupted his yammering. Looking down at the floor. The papers still on the ground.

"..Oh h..here! Let me grab this for you-" Benjamin kneeled down, picking up the papers one by one and putting them all together.

He stood up, stopping to catch a glimpse at them.

"..Alone together..?" Benjamin asked in confusion, reading the words written on the paper.

Pico took them after he handed them to him. Looking down at them. "..It's a script. For my club." He said a little ashamed still.

"A script?" He repeated. Oh.. he was rehearsing a script! It wasn't someone just talking to him from afar.

"Yeah. I'm in the drama club right now. And a play is gonna happen soon. So they asked me to play one of the leads this semester."

Benjamin's eyes widened. When the kid looked up at him, his face was very.. unique. When his hood fell back, it revealed such a ginger color of hair. Who wouldn't want him on the front lines.

But he didn't seem that happy about it himself..

"Well you did really well.." Benjamin rubbed the back of his head. Making Pico's face light up in surprise.

"I mean,, I believed it so.." A small embarrassing blush came across his face. Pico just smiled lightly. Some reassurance right now was what he needed most.

"But why are you in this dark.. empty room?" He asked. Pico looked off to the side with a nervous grin.

"I'm just a lil' shy about it, that's all." He shrugged a bit. Benjamin giggled a bit to himself. That was sort of understanding.

"..my name is Benjamin by the way," Since he did just intrude on his rehearsal, the least he could do was introduce himself.

"Pico." The ginger smiled lightly at him.

Drama club.. Benjamin thought to himself. If he finds that art club wasn't going to be an option for him ..

Drama club didn't sound too bad either.
