25: Flowerhusbands

"Scott! Please..." The blonde ran up to the cyanette, not that the deer hybrid made any effort in slowing down his speed-walking. "What?" His response sounded annoyed, pissed off. "I... What's wrong?" Scott's facial expressions softened but he still kept his silence, afraid he would say something he didn't mean in his emotional outbreak.

"How could you fall for him?" He asked with bitterness lining his voice, Scott didn't mean to sound desperate or rude, it just came off naturally. "W-What...?" The blonde hadn't rehearsed this, and if anything he was horrible at improvising. Fwhip was usually the one who lead these things... Fwhip wasn't here right now. "Jimmy... I don't understand why you would date Fwhip."

He was silent in response, what could he really say? He didn't know why he would ever actually date Fwhip. It's not that the other wasn't likeable in any way, he was just... not his type. Fwhip enjoyed explosives all too much and often times wouldn't understand when he was just taking things a bit too far. He didn't understand when something actually hurt Jimmy's feelings.

"I just like him, isn't that enough?" Scott groaned at his response, unhappy. "He's— he's... not good for you. I'm sorry." The blonde watched Scott fidget with his backpack straps. "Then who is?" Jimmy whispered, he knew who Scott wanted to answer with. He would wanna answer Scott as well.

How did he get here?

"Me." Scott muttered beneath his breath, Jimmy grabbed his wrist before he could runoff or whatever people did in movies. "I've been waiting for you to say that." Jimmy spoke through a grin that was quickly forming on his face. "What?" Scott furrowed his eyebrows... what was Jimmy on about?

"You're good for me and you know it, Scott." The blonde held his smile, Scott seemed to thinking through possibilities in his head. "But Fwhip. I love you but I don't think..." Jimmy laughed softly as he let go of Scott. "It was a ploy."

"What?"

"You can ask him yourself, it was a ploy. He and I made up this scheme of getting you jealous— you gotta give it to the man, it worked but... I'm so sorry if it hurt you in any way. If it did, I'll be happy to kill him on your behalf." Scott clicked his tongue, suddenly all the pieces fit together. "It didn't hurt me, I couldn't care less about Fwhip."

"In that case, you wouldn't care if we hypothetically hurt his feelings by kissing?" Jimmy's voice was noticeably shaky. As much as he loved this moment, he was internally screaming and panicking. "Of course not, especially since it's hypothetical." Scott smirked before grabbing the other by the collar for a kiss.

Jimmy was surprised but kissed the taller back. "And... end credits! My job is done here, isn't it?" The two both heard an annoyingly familiar voice; Fwhip. "You really had to ruin our moment, didn't you?" Scott asked sarcastically, rolling his eyes as he grabbed Jimmy's hand rather aggressively.

"Not ruin, I'm just congratulating myself for my hard work. See Jimmy? The plan worked." Fwhip smirked as he leaned on the crossway pole. "It was all planned?! That's crazy!" Sausage popped up from behind the dragon hybrid, scaring all three of them. "So you both followed us?"

"Duh, I need to see if Jimmy's improved with my help. Thank me later, Scott." Fwhip winked playfully before running off, back to the direction of the school. "He's odd, how did you tolerate him for such a long time?" Scott asked Jimmy, who shrugged. "I was blackmailed, simple."

"WHAT?!" Gemini was in disbelief as Scott explained everything to her. "You want me to punch my brother? That's a truly stupid idea." Scott shook his head no. "It's entertaining to think of what Jimmy and Fwhip had to plan out, it's just funny now that I'm thinking about it." Gemini laughed along, even though she believed her brother's idea to be dumb (it was).

"So are you and Jimmy dating?" Scott smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'm happy he wasn't actually into Fwhip." Gemini tilted her head at him, "What? I'm just saying that for Sausage's sake. I know he likes your brother. Or at least I'm pretty sure he likes your brother." Gemini's eyes widened.

"He likes who now?" Scott laughed at her response, he thought it was pretty obvious. "Fwhip. I thought it was pretty obvious. They sit together during lunch and talk to themselves together. Sausage stares at him the whole period of housing and home design. It was inevitable." Gemini let out a scoff as Scott described it.

"Oh really?"
