Paintbrush's POV

knock knock knock knock.

Lightbulb.

Those four, light and feathery knocks onto my light wooden door always catches my attention, stating that Lightbulb specifically is here.

"Painty, ya home bestie?" I groan in my couch pillow. 

"Oh. Guess not then. That's a relief honestly..." Huh? A relief I'm not here? But she loves it when we hang out...

"I'm glad it was today that you're not home. I needed to talk about my feelings...towards you, painty. Or maybe to this door now because you're not here." 

I got curious. I decided to stay quiet to see what she's got to say. She's been acting iffy just a few months ago, really cheerful yet...mellow? I don't know. 

"I'm gonna cut to the chase and just say I...like Painty. I like you..." 

...what?

"I like you a lot as...more than friends Paintbrush. I wish we could be more but it...it's, not possible...you probably like that new person that moved in with you." I...I didn't know...

"I like you as more than friends and I haven't been myself, I can tell even. It's weird. And it's all because I like you and I know it isn't possible. Damn." Should I go out there?

But if I do I might break her trust. But I wanna tell her how I feel too.

Alright. I made my mind up.

"Well that's all I got to say. I'm gonna go now because people are coming by now." 

...no...

wait...please don't go! 

I pick myself off the couch and start padding over to the door, but before i could get there...

I already her her light footsteps fade into nothing. And just when I reached the doorknob.

I drop my hand and my head.

How can I tell her easily now..? 

I walk back to the couch and see the painting of the sunrise that left a few hours ago. 

I sit on the couch, stress written all over my face. Should I tell her when we meet up later? Or should I not mention it??

I felt my back pocket vibrate. The popcorn tune vibrates in my phone.

Lightbulb.

I fish my phone out of my pocket and looked at the message sent to me.

"Hey Painty, I came by earlier but u weren't there! Wanna meet up latr tday? :P" 

Oh Lightbulb...

If only you knew...

I decided to accept her invite, as we mutually agreed at the community park, 4PM sharp.

Maybe I can tell her then. So I memorized what I'll tell her and just...hope she won't be mad at me. Or upset...

Eventually, 3:45 hits. Time to leave he house already.

 I dress up casually nice and toss my painting shirt to the side of my couch before walking out of my room and downstairs to the community park not too far away.

Once at the park, I see lightbulb taking a sip from her bottle. Once she saw me, she waves at me to come by the tree. I blush while walking over.

During our hangout, I was so self aware about the situation. Lightbulb nervously laughing at times when I zone out on her, and her rubbing her goose bumps over the warm rays of the sunlight. 

"Did anything interestin' today Painty? Why weren't you home?" Shit.

"Well I wanted to try and get some new inspiration right? So why not get inspiration form outside? I went to have a small jog and see the nice outside to get inspo and exercise." I give the girl a small smile.

"Also gotta get that summer bod huh?" 

"...what?" 

"Nothing- never mind never mind!" She waves it off like nothing. I heard her, but I...I guess that's supposed to be a compliment?

Damn, if only she knew what I heard back there...

"Heard? About what?" 

"What?"

"What???" 

"Wha-huh??" 

"You said something along the lines of 'If only she knew'?"

Shit. I was talking to myself? Alright, think PB.

"Uhhh...so..." 

Fuck lying. A hard truth's better than a sweet lie.

"I heard you."

"..what? Since when?" 

"When you were at my door talking about your feelings...about loving me..." Lightbulb scoots away a little with her pupils shrinking in fear.

"N-now way...you weren't you weren't there! R-right?" 

"I was there...I got too lazy to get up and you started talking I couldn't- I couldn't get to you in time!" 

"Stop! Get away from me- leave me alone!" Lightbulb pushes herself off her sitting position and ran.

"Lightbulb wait! I-" I tried reaching for her, but it was far too late. 

I look at my hands, them shaking for once. I punch the grass beneath me.

"Fuck! " I didn't give a shit about the little children who were gonna learn a new word today. I just cared about Lightbulb right now...

Why? Why did I mention that? I should've done something before hand, or make sure Lightbulb wasn't listening!

Ugh! Me and my stupid mouth...

Now she knows...
