(Btw since bf and gf are 19, I hc that fnf takes place when they're all in college (also gia is girlfriend and Blake is boyfriend btw))

Another day at school.

Class had just let out, and Blake and his best friend Gia were walking in the hall, on their way to the cafeteria to eat lunch.

"And then I told her, 'no, I don't eat gluten-free bread' and she went full Karen on me." Blake says, finishing a story he'd been telling. Gia laughs. "Wow, no wonder you broke up with her." Blake nods. "Yeah, I can't date anyone who needs to speak to the manager."

They continued walking down the hallway until Blake spotted someone.

The redheaded, ghost-eyed guy in a green shirt was leaning against the wall, staring into space.

"hey!" Blake says, smiling and waving to him.

Pico looks over, smirking a bit when he sees Blake. "Oh hey you two." Blake smiles. "We were just on our way to lunch, how about you?" Pico gets off the wall. "Lunch, huh? Same here."

He then looks a bit nervous "I, uh.. Don't suppose you guys wanna sit with me and my friends?" he asks. Blake smiles. "Ooh, that sounds fun." He looks at Gia. "you wanna?" She smiles and nods.

He turns back to Pico. "Sure, we'll sit with you guys!" Pico smiles. "Oh, really? Cool."

At lunch, Pico, Nene, Darnell, Blake and Gia all sat together. Gia sits by Darnell, so Pico was between Blake and Nene.

All throughout lunch, Pico couldn't stop thinking about how cute Blake looked, staring at him.

Nene noticed this.

"Hey Pico, are you alright?" She asks, looking a bit worried.

Pico flinches, looking at her, then says, "I'm fine..." looking away and putting his chin on the table.

Blake looked at him, smiling a bit, before going back to eating.

Pico looked away, smiling and blushing.

Pico was sitting on a bench in the courtyard and thinking about what had happened during lunch.

He sighs, blushing a bit. "Why you gotta be so perfect.." he mumbles under his breath.

"Hey, there you are!"

Pico looks up to see Blake walking up next to him. "Oh, hey." he responds, smiling a bit.

"Gia wants to-" Blake starts to say before he notices something. "Hey, are you alright?" he says, sitting next to him. "You look kinda nervous." Pico sweats a bit. "Nah, I'm good." he scoots a bit further from him. "Don't worry about it." Blake looks a little worried. "Okay, if you say so."

"So, what were you saying about gia?" Pico says, quickly changing the subject. "Oh yeah! She says she wants to talk to you." Blake says, smiling. Pico tilts his head. "Why?" Blake shrugs. "I dunno, she just said she wanted to speak to you alone." Pico looks at the ground. "huh..."

Blake then gets up. "Wanna walk with me?" he says, smiling and offering his hand. Pico thought about it for a bit, then smiled and took it. "Sure." Blake helps him up. "Cool!" he says with one of his signature grins.

Pico was still thinking about Blake, especially about how he held his arm as they walked together, and how warm it felt.

"Pico? Hey, Pico!"

He was snapped out of his thoughts by a feminine, red-nailed hand waving in front of his face. "Are you listening?"

Pico looks at Gia, who was sitting across from him at a desk. "Haha, Sorry g, i was kinda spacing out." he says with an apologetic grin. Gia sighs. "It's ok."

She then nervously wrings her hands. "So, as I was saying..." she takes a breath.

"Do you think I should tell Blake how I feel?"

She was referring to telling Blake that she thought the new track he had finished... needed some tweaking, and she doesn't wanna hurt his feelings. But Pico, of course, thought that she meant telling him that she has feelings for him.

And he suddenly feels very uncomfortable.

"O-oh yeah, sure!" he gives a shaky thumbs up. "Go for it!"

She looks worried. "Hey, are you ok?" Pico nods. "N-never better!"

Suddenly, Blake walks in, catching the brunette's attention. "Oh, Blake!" she says, getting up and walking over to him. Blake says something that makes her giggle, and the two both laugh.

Seeing the two of them happy and smiling together... made Pico feel like his heart was in a hydraulic press.

He stands up "I-i gotta go, sorry!" he says, a little louder than he meant to, while running out the door. He could barely hear them say, "Wait, what? Pico!" as he ran away, trying to ignore the tears forming in his stark white eyes.

Pico was alone in his room as he lay down on his bed, crying. He didn't like crying, but, what else could he do?

After he got some tissues and dried his eyes, he thought of something. He reached in his bedside drawer and took his old voice recorder out (that he has for crime and crime fighting purposes lol) and pressed the record button.

"Stupid rapper," he says into the mic as it is recorded. He then pressed the play button. "Stupid rapper." the device repeated. Pico smiled. "Hmm.."

He pressed the rec button again.

"I... I really like you, Blake..." hey says, his normally raspy voice almost sounding calm enough to be normal.

Then, who should appear at the door but the blue-haired man of the hour himself. "Hey pico?" he says.

Pico gets startled. "Ah, Blake! I-" he jumps backward, accidentally pressing the play button on the voice recorder.

"I really like you, Blake..." the thing repeated.

Pico immediately turns red, Blake as well.

"Pfft-" Blake then smiles, closing his eyes and laughing. "Good one!"

"I-it's not a joke, you idiot!" Pico says, his face red as he hugs himself.

.

Blake stops laughing, feeling bad. "O-oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it like that.."

He then smiles, walking over.

"I-it's just funny...because..."

He gently cups Pico's face in his hands, blushing and looking in his ghostly white eyes.

"I really like you too, Pico.."

"Wait, what about gia? Didn't she tell you how she feels?"

"What, you mean that she thought my new song needs improvement?"

"Nevermind..."
