This takes place in TPOT 3

(O/n is genderfluid/any gender)

~O/n pov~

Competing in tpot was probably the best idea I've ever had...All my teammates on "Death P.A.C.T. Again" were cool and all, but there was this one guy who really stood out to me...Tree. Every time I'm near him, I can't help but feel...weird. It's not a bad feeling, it's comforting, actually...but I've never felt this way about anyone...

"O/N!"

I realized I got lost in my thoughts and looked to see who was calling my name. It was Black Hole.

"O/n, the challenge is about to start, are you coming?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, yeah..."

I got up and followed BH to where Two announced the next challenge.

When we arrived, I almost immediately noticed Tree talking to Remote about something. Tree saw me and waved. God, If I could date him, I would. I don't know why, but this Australian tree was like, really hot. Maybe it was his voice, his personality, or both, but there was something about him that I liked. We were friends even before bfb, we weren't on the same team, but we'd talk to each other after challenges. I liked listening to him talk about death prevention or his other hobbies. He's a really cool guy, and I still can't believe he's not dating anyone yet! I still have a chance, but I don't know what I would do if he were to reject me or if he dated someone before I got the courage to tell him my feelings. I don't want either of those to happen, but I should tell him soon...

I guess I had been so caught up in thinking about how I was going to tell Tree and thinking of all possible outcomes that I didn't even realize that Two had already told us the challenge. I looked around for a moment to see if I could tell what was happening so I didn't have to ask anyone what we were doing. 

"O/n! Are you coming?" Tree called out to me. Yup, I have no idea what we're doing. But I can't say that, especially not to him, that would be embarrassing. "Um, Yeah, sure..." I managed to say. If I follow Tree, then I'm sure that I'll 100% know what's happening. I hope-

We walk down to Golfball's underground factory. I've never been down here before, It's quite spacious. Me and the rest of my team just watched Golfball talking to Puffball about a... rollercoaster? Blackhole didn't seem too worried about it, but Fanny started saying how dangerous they could be. She was right, if someone like, falls off and dies, that would be bad, and It's our job to make sure that doesn't happen, which I don't get since even if you die, you can just be recovered, but I pledged when I joined the team that I would help prevent death. Remote suggested we make some kind of landing pad. Marker grabbed some sheet that we could use to make it, and we started going back up the stairs and out of Gb's factory. I was walking next to Tree and noticed he seemed a little flushed. I didn't even know trees could do that, but it was kinda cute. "Why are so red, Tree?" I asked, wondering what's got him to happy. He looked at me and smiled while saying, "Oh, don't worry, dear O/n." then he looked back and kept walking. I stared blankly at him for a moment. Did he just call me dear...? I doubt he meant it with any romantic undertone, but the thought makes me excited. I couldn't even focus on the challenge anymore, Tree calling me that really caught me off guard. 


We had already finished our trampoline thing, and I went up to Tree to talk to him while we waited for everyone else to be done. He was sitting on the ground near the trampoline. "Hey, Tree." I smiled and sat down next to him. "Do you think this will work?" Tree looked at me and smiled. "I hope so, O/n. I don't want our work to be useless. And I don't want to have any more of our team to be eliminated, especially not you..." Tree had whispered the last part, but I still heard it. I could feel myself starting to blush. I guess I wasn't supposed to hear that, because when Tree saw my reaction, he could tell that I most definitely heard those last few words. We sat in silence for a few minutes, but It was a comforting silence. The sun was going down and the sky was coloured in oranges, pinks, and reds. It was like the world was telling me that now was the time to ask him, to not fear any rejection, and to just do it. 

I changed my position so that I was facing him. I took a deep breath and just said what I felt...

"Tree...I really like you. Like, more than friends or best friends. I have for a few years. I think you're a really cool guy and I don't know if this is going to destroy our friendship, but I just really needed to say it. I can't keep it to myself anymore. I don't know what I'd do without you, because you were the greatest friend that I could ask for, and so I want to be the best lover for you in return...If you like me back, of course. Y-you don't have to like me back, I just..." My words started trailing off at the end, I was losing confidence. I turned my face away from him, not wanting to see any negative expressions from him. I felt really hot. Was this a mistake? Why isn't he saying anything? Does he hate me now? Oh god, I wish I could just- 

"O/n...Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

I looked back at him surprised. He smiled back at me and took my hand. 

"O/n, I've liked you for a while now as well..."

I froze at hearing those words. He's messing with me...there's no way...but Tree wouldn't play with someone's feelings like that, or at least I hope he wouldn't. I stared back into his eyes, looking for any hint of him lying, but he seemed like he was serious. He likes me back. I can't believe this. I feel sick, but not in a bad way. It's making my stomach feel weird, but it's a nice feeling...

I smile back at him, feeling the happiest I've ever felt in my entire life. I hope we don't get put up for elimination, I can't stand the thought of there being a chance that either one of us gets eliminated and we can't see each other anymore. 

I love him, and he loves me too...
