Building it up (nickloon EHEHEHEHE)

Planning

Nickels pov

"YOU WANT TO WHAT?!" baseball yells. 

"SHUT UP- ugh why does everyone SCREAM whenever it's SOMETHING PRIVATE" i say, pretty loudly.

We are sitting near the forest behind hotel oj, but we are still close enough for anyone inside the hotel to faintly hear our voices. And especially at 5pm, when the hotel is most busy with people doing chores and starting dinner.

"Ooooh after you very loudly shouted that I'm sure nobody's itching to listen" baseball says sarcastically.

"GIVE BACK THE SARCASM"

"Oh yeahh, I totally will," he replies. But before I could scream he starts talking again.

"So... you wanna confess but you don't know how?" he says.

"Mhm, that's why i ASKED YOU"

"And you want to do it before this other guy in balloons poem does"

"Yeah" I say, biting the inside of my cheek.

"And it was like a love poem, but there was no name?"

I shake my head yes.

"How do you know the person he's talking about isn't you?"

...

"WHAT? N-no, that's crazy! He can't like me..."

Can he?

Am I just jealous of myself?

"Noo, that's not right heh..."

"Well if you're SO SURE that he doesn't like you then why would you confess?" 

"Oh..."

"He likes you nickel, it's obvious"

"I mean, maybe..."

"That's the spirit!"

"But the ONLY WAY I'm gonna know if he likes me is if I CONFESS. I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO IT EITHER WAY. 

And.. I kinda want to..."

As baseball celebrates that I'm finally gonna do it, I spot a daisy a few feet from us. I walk over and look at it closely, remembering what balloon said when we first became friends.

~~~~~~~~

 "What's that?" I say hurriedly. I seriously just asked him what a flower was 😃🔫. "Oh, it's a daisy," he replies. "They tell you about your love life".

~~~~~~~~

Love life...

I pick it up and as I'm about to start plucking the petals, baseball comes beside me.

"You're gonna let a flower decide?" he asks, knowing exactly what I was doing.

"N-no!"

Baseball raises an eyebrow at me 

"fine- yah... balloon told me about it"

"Hey, it's a cool way to find out stuff, but I don't want my best friend depressed because of what a flower told him" he says laughing.

I start laughing with him,

Suddenly both of our phones ring.

Balloons pov

"He likes you~" suitcase teases, as I cover my face with a pillow in embarrassment. 

"He could have just been asking..." I say hesitantly. Suitcase drinks some leftover strawberry smoothie from breakfast as she sits next to me on my bed.
