Skeppy/Zak POV
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Why would I do that?
I'm lying on my bed now, thinking about all the mistakes I've made in my life. Today being the main one.
After I had given Darryl his Hot Chocolate, I had rushed to the back room and just broken down into tears. Dream and George had come to comfort me, though it was more George comforting me while Dream just teased me.
While it wasn't helpful for Dream to tell me how much of a pussy I was, I have to admit, he had a point.
After all, Dream and George aren't in a happy, healthy relationship because they refused to talk to each other.
Ant and Velvet weren't talking about marriage because they just admired each other from afar.
Both couples had decided to talk to each other, and were now happier than ever because they had talked to each other, gotten to know each other, and had enough confidence to confess.
If I can't even muster up the strength to talk to Darryl, how am I ever supposed to tell him how I feel?
My mind goes back to what I did today, and I'm panicking all over again.
I'm probably overreacting, but my mind is swirling with all the possibilities of what could go wrong.
What if he just doesn't notice the note?
What if he sees the note, but doesn't want to talk to me?
What if he hates me and thinks I'm weird and awkward?
My thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a ding coming from my phone.
It's probably just one of the idots asking to hang out.
The idots is an inside joke in my friend group with Zelk, Mega, Vurb, Spifey, and Finn.
Groaning, I reach for my phone to check my messages. Once I see who it's from, my heart skips a beat.

Hi Zak!
This is Darryl from the Cafe it's nice to finally talk to you! :D
My heart is racing as I just sit there, staring at my phone as I try to think of the perfect reply. Everything I can think of has some way to make him think I am weird.
Eventually, I just type a simple...
You
Hi :)
I'm grflad we cann taplk now, I just get sso shy talking to newq preoiple in persdomn.
I smile at the screen when I see how quickly he responds.
Darryl <3
That's fine! I have that problem sometimes too.
Maybe once we get to know each other better we can talk at the Cafe too?
You
Um...maryube

Darryl <3
Oh my goodness, you really need to work on your spelling! o_O
But that's fine. We can meet up sometime somewhere else to hang out! You seem really fun!
His words make me blush a deep red.
He thinks I'm fun to hang out with! He wants to hang out just the two of us!
Sort of like a date...
I'm sure he doesn't think of it like that, but the thought that I would be sort of going on a date with my crush made me want to dance around the room.
I now realize that I've left Darryl on read for a few minutes now.
You
Yegfh! Wre cann toattaly hanhg out soon. Whjat would uu want to do?
Darryl <3
Well it's getting to be winter, so maybe we could go ice skating? o-o
I'm not super experienced, but it would still be fun!
His little emoji faces are so cute! I laugh quietly to myself. He's so innocent and sweet.
You
Ooo thgart swounfs like fun!
Cann we doi that next weejkend?
Darryl <3
Let me check
I sit there nervously waiting for a reply. What if he changed his mind and doesn't wanna go anymore? What if-
Ding!
Darryl <3
Looks like I'm free next weekend! Does Saturday at 1pm work for you?
You
Yefds! We'll bfe going to the rink in the town park, rtighyt?
Darryl <3
That's what I was thinking! :D
Maybe we could go to the Cafe afterwards to warm up!
This sounds so perfect, I can't help smiling to myself. Ice skating and hot cocoa with a cute boy? Sounds like my dream come true!
You
Perdfevct!!
Darryl <3
Well it's getting late, so I have to go to bed now, but I'll see you tomorrow?
You
Sdee u tonmorroiw!
Goodnight :)
One last message from him pops up.
Darryl <3
Goodnight ❤
The heart at the end leaves me staring at my screen, smiling for who knows how long. This boy makes me so happy, I don't even know how to describe it.
Tomorrow will be Monday, so sadly, I'll have to wait a week before our "date," but then again, I probably need the time to gain enough confidence to have a functional conversation with him.
Like Darryl said, it's getting late, and I'm beginning to grow drowsy. Soon, my eyes are fluttering shut and I'm thrown into a deep, peaceful sleep.
