'Narrator POV'

Sparkling led Herb into his bar, and to his surprise, Taffy had 'kept the fort up. He was startled that Sparkling had brought a special guest, but warmly welcomed both of them back. 

"Thanks for everything today, Taffy. Sorry for the late notice," Sparkling gestured Herb to sit down in one of the chairs as he sat down himself; he looked around the bar.

"...is Vampire here?"

Herb flinched, so that's Drunk Ass Pedo's real name, he thought.

Taffy looked confused: "Hm? Oh, he didn't come today after he found out you'd gone out. But he texted me this morning saying if you ever came back then I should tell him to come." 

'Sparkling POV'

That bitch. Does that mean he's only been sticking around me like glue 'cause I can put up with him? Whatever, that's not important right now. I looked over at Herb. Protecting him from eternal doom is.

I sighed, "Then can you call Vampire and tell him to be right over? I have something I'd like to discuss with him." Taffy nodded and went over to grab his phone. Meanwhile, I turned over to Herb, my face stiffens.

I'm disgusted by him.

I hate him.

I hate him.

That's what I try to tell myself. But somewhere in this fatal glass heart of mine, I know that I'm just scared. I'm scared of these new emotions that haunted my thoughts.

"...I'm just a coward blinded by my own feelings."

"Hm? Did you say something, Sparkling?" Herb looked up at me. I snapped out of it. Shit- did I say that last part out loud? "O-oh, it's nothing," I muttered. Herb laughed slightly: "Heh, you're... surprisingly adorable."

...

"Thanks"

THANKS? YOU STUPID MORON, THAT WAS THE CUTEST COMPLIMENT EVER- FROM HERB, SAY SOMETHING ELSE!

I hid my face to cover up my blushing cheeks. I'm so fucked up.

Suddenly, Taffy came back. He told us that Vampire was coming over right now. Come on now Sparkling, put on a straight face, It's not like Herb calling me adorable was... was, the most amazing thing I've ever heard in my life.

I took a deep breath in, and a deep breath out. Here we go. I stood up from my chair and turned around, ready to leave. Herb looked at me, confused: "Sparkling? Where are you going?" Stopping my feet and turned around, I smiled at him.

"Sorry, but I'd like to speak to Vampire alone. You guys can rest up, it's been a long day."

___

The dim lights outside of the bar flickered. A single moth buzzed it's way around and around the bright light, an illuminated globe that was the only light source in this late night. I sighed.

How long is that guy taking? I probably could've walked to his house by now if I wanted to.

I took out a box of cigarettes and lit it up. Some evening crickets were singing their song in the bushes, and even though this was the most busiest street during the day, at night, it was like a graveyard. Practically no cars and no people. I puffed out a ring of smoke.

"Sparky-~ were you the one who called for me, hm?"

I looked to my right.

Of course he had to show up later than he proposed. This is Vampire we're talking about- the guy that still lives with his parents and with no job. I could feel my teeth clench.

"What can I say, you... attract a lot of people," I smiled. Vampire laughed silently, and reached for the door handle. I stopped him. "Oh? Is something wrongg, Sparkyy?" He put his arms on my shoulder, to which I quickly brushed off.

"...Vampire."

"Yea~?"

...

"Have you... met Herb?"

Vampire looked at me, confused, "Who's Herb? Is it Sparky's new boyfriend? Is this what it's about?" His eyes swerved manipulatively and he started giggling.

So he doesn't know about Herb?... No, he doesn't know his name.

If I could just...

"...Don't play dumb with me. Green hair, almond hazel eyes, and he works at a flower shop?"

"I don't know this guy, Sparkling."

"Oh, like I'm supposed to believe that? After he told me that you harmed him?"

...

Vampire sighed, and he wiped his face using the palm of his hands. He started to mumble gibberish under his breath. 

My heartbeat was surprisingly calm, but I could feel my face getting heated just from thinking about what he might've done to Herb. Without thinking, I went over and grabbed Vampire by the neck.

"You have a chance, Vampy. Tell me what you did."

"Hehe, it's the first time you've called me Vampy. I like that nicknAM-"

I tightened my hands a little, and almost instantly, Vampire started coughing and laughing like the maniac he is. He smiled at me.

"Sparky, you know I won't lie to you. I don't remember him. And even if I did do something to him, I was most likely drunk, won't you think?"

My hands started to tremble. Is this guy really worth my trust?

I bit my lip. Slowly, I let go of Vampire, who coughed and immediately fell to the ground. I clenched my fists. I always go soft at the most critical moments. Damn you, Sparkling.

I swiftly turned around and put my hands on the doorknob, before I went back in, I spoke to him one last time.

"It's your first and final warning. You can't tell me that you forgot everything tomorrow, because I know your not drunk." I turned the doorknob.

...

"cough, hehe. By the way, Sparky... I met with your parents the other day."

...

I flinched.

I averted my eyes and stared at Vampire, who was sheepishly smiling at me.

...ah, shit.
