Recap: "Once he gets to his room he closes the door and sits down. Do I like him, would that be ok?... he thought to himself before going to sleep."

Shellington wakes up and gets dressed,the thought of him liking Kwazii haunts him until he reaches the HQ. There he accidentally bumps into Kwazii.

"K-kwazii!! So sorry for bumping into you, I didn't see you there," Shellington's face got pink and red real fast. Kwazii was right on topic of him; they're faces were so close they could almost kiss each other.

"No problems matey!" Kwazii reassured Shellington that he was fine and got off of him and helped him get up. They're hands gently touched and rested on top of each others and just like that, Kwazii left. Leaving Shellington embarrassed and even more confused about his feeling for Kwazii .

Shellington walks to a seat next to Dashi with a smug look on her face. "You like him, don't you!" She quietly said in a teasing-ish way.

Shellington's face got red again, "D-don't be ridiculous! He's just a friend, besides you know I'm not into men" he said flustered and turned away from Dashi.

Dashi muttered "That's what they all say, next thing you know they'll be having a wedding..."

Shellington snapped back, "I heard that!"

"Yeah yeah, whatever... out of curiosity, how long have you've even known him?" She asked

"For a couple years...maybe 17 or more-"

"SEVENTEEN?! THERE'S NO WAY YOU HAVEN'T LIKED HIM AT LEAST ONCE-"

"DASHI."

The room went silent, Shellington could feel as eyes and heads turned to look at them.

She quickly realized that she said it too loud "Heh... sorry"

"It's fine, could we talk about this somewhere more private?"

"Sure,"

(At Shellington's room)

Shellington quickly turns around to look at Dashi and blurts out something fast, "OKLOOKMAYBEIDOLIKEKWAZIIBUTTHENAGAINIMNOTGAYATLEASTITHINKIMNOTUGHHHHTHISISSOOOCONFUSINGANDWEIRD!!" He collapses onto the ground super embarrassed and nervous about talking to Dashi about this.

"Okay...say that again but 10x slowler"

Shellington takes a deep breath and sits on his bed, "ok look, maybe I DO have a crush on Kwazii. But I'm not gay, at least I think I'm not... Ugh, why is love so confusing?!" He moves his knees closer to his head and wraps his arms around himself to cover his embarrassed face. He takes a glance at Dashi who is sitting on a teal chair. Before Dashi is able to let a word out Shellington continues, "And before you say anything that's like 'oh shellington, there's nothing wrong with being gay and you should try to get closer to kwazii blah blah-' Just a reminder that I'm NOT gay."

"At least you think you're not... Shellington, I know this whole mlm crush thing is confusing for you but you're just overthinking it. Also before you jump to conclusions u would suggest that you actually try to look more into it. Plus, there's nothing wrong with being gay-" before Dashi could continue she gets interrupted by Shellington.

"First of all, I knew you were gonna say that, second, I can't be gay, it would make my family look like a burden! I'm already an embarrassment to my family. You know how disappointed Pearl would be if she found her out brother she raised and stood up for turned out to be gay?..." Shellington said ashamed covering his face again. All of a sudden he feels a hand rest on his shoulder.

"If pearl raised you for 23 years then she is probably going to be supportive for you no matter you decide to be or do."

"I guess so..."

"Besides worrying about Pearl accepting you and stuff, there should be someone else you might want to worry about,"

"Who?" Shellington looked at her with confusion.

"Yourself!!"

"Myself?..."

"Yes! You've been spending most of your time worrying about other people accepting you that you haven't been thinking about accepting yourself."

"Yeah...yeah! YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT!" Shellington looked up with a joyful expression, he got off his bed and looked at Dashi,"Why worry about what others think? I can do whatever I want, it's my life after all," he runs towards the door before he stops and turns at Dashi one more time, "I should probably talk to Pearl about this right?"

"Yeah,"
