Skeppy/Zak POV

I can't believe I actually talked to him today.

Me. Zak Ahmed. Talked to him.

I know I made a complete fool of myself, stuttering and blushing, but I talked to him.

He's so sweet and funny, if a bit oblivious.

Just the thought of our conversation made me smile. Remembering his fluffy hair, glimmering green eyes, and soft pink lips made me squeal with happiness.

It really wasn't that difficult, I was being stupid. Maybe, just maybe I could talk to him again tomorrow. Like how Dream and Velvet do. Maybe I could even give him my number!

It really can't be that hard.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

I don't know if I'm looking forward to work today, or I'm nervous, but either way, I have to go. After all, it's my job, not a gossip center. (Though my coworkers seem to think otherwise)

I'm the first person on my shift today, so I just start to slowly sort through our new shipments of baking supplies.

Karl, Quackity, and Sapnap work the shift before me and are laughing and talking very loudly as they come to grab their things.

The three of them are dating, and spend most of their time together.

I've actually hung out with Karl a few times outside of work, but only because he's less chaotic than the other boys.

"Hey, Skeppy! Long time, no see. You've been late to work almost every day this week!" Quackity laughs.

"More like not early. And I'm here now, aren't I?" I move as if to grab his beanie off his head, and he scowls at me.

Karl speaks up, "Hey, I heard you finally spoke 3 words to your little crush yesterday! Great job!"

"Maybe if you keep this up, you'll be having full conversations by next week!" Sapnap sneers.

I'm about to give a reply, when Sapnap's eyes light up. "George! Where've you been!"

I look over to see Dream walking in, George latched to his arm. As soon as he sees Sapnap though, they run to meet each other. "Sapnap! I missed you!"

Everyone is engrossed in a conversation that I don't seem to be a part of, so as soon as Velvet arrives, (Ant with him, as usual) I decide to announce my plan.

"I'm going to ask for Darryl's number today!"

They all just stop talking and look at me for a second before they all burst out laughing. I look at the ground, blood rushing to my face.

"You? Ask Darryl? I'll believe it when I see it!" Quackity manages to get out through his snickers.

"Yeah, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. You only just spoke to him yesterday." Dream mocks.

"Shut up, Guys. I'm not incapable."

Velvet gives me a look. "Last time I checked, you were."

"I can help you if you want, maybe hold your hand and walk you to his table?" Ant giggles.

"Whatever, we have work to do." I slip over to the front counter, but end up walking into the wall.

The group roars with laughter.

Shaking my head, I actually get to the counter this time, and can see a bit of a line is beginning to form.

Dream and Velvet take notice of this, and go to help me.

"Well, we better get going. Good luck with your boyfriend, Zakky." Quackity grabs Sapnap and Karl's hands and walks out the door.

It's a surprisingly busy day today, so I have a chance to get my mind off of Darryl.

After about an hour, the crowd has started to die down, and Dream is taking  a few orders while I bring people their drinks.

Velvet is in the back with George and Ant making a batch of muffins for later.

Velvet, Ant, and George come to the front to join us and we just start to stand in a circle to talk. It's pretty obvious what the topic of conversation is.

"So Skep, are you actually gonna get his number today?" Ant asks, more curious than teasing.

"W-well, yeah, I mean, it can't be...it can't be that hard, right?"

Velvet grins. "That's what one would think, but with you, it's rocket science."

I glare at him.

"Y'know, yesterday he was commenting that it seems like you don't like him. Do you really want to make your boyfriend sad?" Dream remarks.

What? Of course I like him! Why would he think I don't?

Ant looks towards the door, "Hope you're ready Zak, because he's here!"

I look over to the door to see George smiling and talking to the sweet, emerald eyed boy. Feeling my Cheeks flush, I look at the ground.

"You promised~" Ant sings.

I look up, having regrets, but knowing that if I don't do this I'll never live it down.

"Fine. I'll do it."
