The Confession

Chapter 5

Smg3 walked back to Smg4 with his hands in his pockets. "Sorry about that."

"It's fine." The phone call was still bothering Four. "Although, if you don't mind me asking who you were exactly talking to?"

Three hesitated for a moment before letting out a tired sigh. "My ex, we dated for about two months in 2014, and is still wanting to get back together. But I moved on, my ex did not."

"I see." Four adverted his eyes away from Three. The wind started to pick up causing loose petals from the sakura trees to float around them. "What do you mean by moved on? Does that mean you are seeing someone now?"

Three's face turned pink. "No! That's not what I meant. What I meant to say is I moved on with my life. My ex is still stuck in the past."

"Oh..." Four looked down at the ground, feeling his confidence slipping. "If you no longer want to hang out, that's okay."

The Smg34 crew all looked at Four with concern, although understanding why Four made that comment, it's also upsetting to see their hard work and planning going down the drain. "No," Three spoke. "I'd rather hang out with you, than thinking about my crappy ex."

That seemed to lifted Four's spirt back up. "Right shall we continue with our walk?" He asked holding his hand out.

"We shall." Although Three didn't grab his hand like Four was hoping, but he was still glad. Being this close to him was giving Four butterflies.

The Smg34 crew hanged back per Meggy's non-verbal request. "Phew, finally Mario wasn't sure how longer he could hold his breath."

"Okay, what exactly happen in that phone call with Three's ex? Because the dude looked drained of his energy by a vampire." Fm questioned Meggy.

Meggy let an eh before speaking. "I'm not entirely sure. We could only hear Smg3 talking, but whatever his ex said to him clearly pissed him off."

"Yeah!" The red plumber spoke up. "He looked like he was about to stab a bitch."

Both Fm and X looked at each other thinking the exact same thing 'Someone else was interested in Smg3!?'

"Well, I have no clue who his ex could or what they said to him." X said first

"Yeah." Fm rubbed the back of his head "We never knew Smg3 as a people person. Maybe we should talk more about this later." Fm paused a smirk forming on his face "We don't want to lose the potential couple, do we?"

"Oh, you're right about that. Let's go team Smg34!"

Meggy looked annoyed. "Mario, I told you we aren't calling ourselves that!"

The two meme guardians were by the entrance of the rose maze. Three nudged Four's arm. "Bet you that I can get to the other side first." His sour mood completely gone, Four Grinned.

"You're on!" Four dashed past him for a head start.

"Hey! That's cheating!" Three basically shouted.

"We never made any rules!" Four chuckled. He was blushing again; he could feel his heart pounding and he was going wi-

He tripped but before he could fall on his face Three had caught him. They were both clearly out of breath again. Three smirked "D-don't want you to hurt your p-pretty face, do we?" He had huffed out.

Four could feel the blush on his deepening. 'Pretty face!?!!?' His entire body felt like it was made of jelly. Four tried to say something but nothing came out his mouth.

"Uh, hello? Smg4 you there?" Three tried to snap Four out of his gay panic but when that didn't work, he gently put him down out of harm's way and sat down, right next to him.

It didn't take long for Smg4 to snap out of it. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me." He lightly scratched his cheek, looking away from Three his heart still racing. "Guess I'm still tired." Four gave that as an excuse.

Three looked at Four confused. "Dude, it's only nine thirty in the morning. How the fuck are you still tired?"

Four huffed. "Hey! I was rudely awoken by the scary cop with a computer monitor for a head!" He finally turned to face Three, who was closer than he thought. "And I um..." Four scooted back "I couldn't sleep last night."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, I-"

"Smg4? Smg3? What are you two doing here?" Both meme guardians looked up to see Wimpu and Jub-Jub, who was on his shoulder. The pinkette looked worried. "Are you two hurt? Do I need to call an ambulance?" The little guy on his shoulder also looked very worried for his friends.

Smg3 chuckled, he stood up and grabbed Four's arm helping him stand up as well. "Nah, we were just catching our breath. Were still up for that picnic later this week, right?"

Wimpu smiled, relived. "Of course. See you later." Jub-Jub let out his own little goodbye as Wimpu walked away.

Four turned to Three surprised. "I didn't know you were on good terms with your own cast."

"Huh? Oh, yeah, we try to hangout a least two or three times a month. I guess there are many things you don't know about me Four."

"I would like too." Four said it barely above a whisper. Smg4 looked down, not noticing Three's face starting to blush.

Three coughed looking away from Four. "Let's just go back the way we came. Forget the stupid maze." It looked like he was going to say more, but he didn't. He started to walk back.

Four stood there for a moment before he croaked out. "Y-yeah, I'll catch up to you. I just need a moment." Four could feel tears welling up.

Three turned around at that comment before walking back to him and hold out his hand. Three smirked. "The last time I left you alone when you were like this, you caused Peach's castle to go down. I don't want this park to suffer the same fate."

Four laughed wiping away a stray tear. "Shut up." He rolled his eyes, his face lightly pink. He grabbed Three's hand, and they started walking back together. 'I need to spend the rest of my life with this man.'
