It's Been A While! (Sanford x Oc x Deimos)

Confused

'~Uh oh, somebody's gay panickinggg~'

Why does that little moment keep popping up in his head? 'Aww, you're so sweet. I appreciate it though, I do feel a little better,' Milo's words replayed in his mind. It was replaying excessively and Sanford couldn't quite tell why it's doing that.

It's just a little compliment from a friend, that's all. But why does he feel a little shy about it. Why did he get flustered over it in the first place?

He gets compliments all the time! Why was that moment any different? He doesn't get it!

He felt himself blush, he could recall. Maybe it was because he hasn't really been hanging out with Milo until he got here.

He did recall a few times where Sanford would bashfully wave off a sweet compliment back then. There were times where he got a little tongue tied. Milo was such a dear back then . How did he end up in the AAHW in the first place? He was way too good to be working at a place like that.

Sanford remembered that Milo joked at how Sanford might've had a crush on him. He denied it many time but couldn't help but ponder the thought some nights when he couldn't really sleep.

He thought he did, and he thought they had gone away after so long!

Sanford's eyes widen slightly and his hands paused from assembling some explosives.

'Do I... Do I still have a crush on Milo?'

He shook his head and looked back down on his work. Nope, nope, nope. He's already got an incredible boyfriend that's already incredibly possessive of him. The crush will go away as soon as it came!

He hopes so.

If Deimos finds out he'll... Well, Sanford doesn't really know what Deimos will think, or do...

It's best if he just pushed it aside. He can't linger in silly crushes like that again. The last time he had a crush was with Deimos, it went swell! But with Milo, he isn't sure what he'll think of it.

He doesn't even know if he's queer or not, nor does he know if he's interested in looking for love. Also, they've been friends for so long now and they've just reunited after, what probably was months!

Milo was just invited into the group as well and he's still adjusting. He doesn't want to suddenly overwhelm the poor guy by suddenly confessing his feelings. Who knows how he's handled emotions! Let alone a freaking love confession.

Deimos, well, he doesn't really think he'll be up for a polyamorous relationship. He isn't on the best terms with Milo, the feelings mutual.

Sanford decides to just forget about it. Or try to. It's too risky, he doesn't want to loose a friend or Deimos' trust. He can't handle neither of those losses. He could make up a plan, but he still needs to understand both of Deimos and Milo's perspective on one another. Maybe he could try and get them to become closer, proper team mates, friends, and maybe, just maybe, Deimos would want Milo in their relationship

But again, it's too risky, like a lot of things are in Nevada.

When he thought it would disappear, it kept getting worse, or better? Or- Gah! He doesn't know what to think of it. Anyway it got uhm... Bigger? Or more.

He began to act around Milo pretty differently. He's more anxious and unsure of stuff sometimes. He gets really hot when Milo asks him if he's alright, he'd shake it off with an awkward laugh but his thoughts would linger around how Milo looked adorable when he was concerned. And he was concerned about him.

Sanford needs to get his head straightened out. He can't fall in love with his best friend again!

But how can he not. Just by looking at him he's filled with the need to protect him. He wants to protect everyone, but... Him in particular?

He's stiff, he's a clutz, he's accident prone geez. He can be so caring to the people he trusts most, like how he's brave enough to remind Doc to take breaks and how he's relaxed around Sanford. He couldn't be more honoured to be in his friend circle that's so tiny.

How can you not fall for him? He's so cute and smart, ugh, and that sparkle in his eyes when he gets to ramble about all the tinkering he does on random inventions. They may not work right now, but it's nice for him to talk about it to someone who's interested.

There were moments where Sanford would just come up from behind and pull Milo into his embrace. The brunette would lean back against him, give a greeting and asks if he needs anything. Sanford would just shake his head before letting him go and walk elsewhere.

Milo gets a little confused but he shakes it off. He wouldn't want to push Sanford away just because he was feeling generous with his hugs. Besides, why would anyone not want a hug from him? They're the best!

The burly man has to keep himself from leaning in for a kiss because holy fuck does Milo look so kissable in that distance. Sanford would be a blushing mess at the thought when he rounds the corner out of Milo's sight.

He shakes his head and try to go on with his day, but no, his mind keeps making up crazy scenarios.

He would suddenly imagine what it'd be like if he did kiss him. Milo would either lean in to deepen it, a silent love confession between the two and how long he's been waiting for this moment, or he'd push him away in probably disgust and anger, saying how he's straight and isn't into him.

That makes Sanford's confusion worst! Will he like him back or not?!

Even if he does like him back, he can't forget about Deimos. As stated before, Sanford still needs to get Deimos on board with having Milo into their relationship.

He now lays in bed so confused and unsure. His mind is so full and loud it's overwhelming he might have a breakdown. Sanford calms himself down and try to get his mind at ease. It'll be difficult to fall asleep if your minds being a bitch with making up scenarios if kissing your best friend to keep you up all night.

"I need to figure this out..." Sanford mumbled covering his red face with his hands as he waits for Deimos to finish up his nightly routine.

'~More gay panic from my fav boy. Don't worry, Deimos will gay panic over Milo sooner or later as well. Does that count as a spoiler? Oh well, also erm, so sorry for the late update guys. It's short too augh... been a bit busy, it's just going to get even worse as the months progress as I'm rushing to study for a big exam...~'
