CaraChoco One Shots

💗An Unbreakable Friendship🩹

Highschool AU story requested by Dani_pokemon_lover! There's a little bit of angst in this, but it's not that bad.

----------------------------------------------------

The bell rings, and kids flood the hallways from out of the classrooms. Caramel Arrow walks slowly and carefully scans the crowd looking for a certain black-haired student. Her focus is interrupted when she feels a sudden touch to her shoulder. She turns around to find Crunchy Chip seeming much more excited than usual.

"Hey, Caramel Arrow! What's up?" Crunchy Chip says, looking brighter than ever. "Nothing much.. what has you so excited?" Caramel thinks for a moment before a cheeky smirk spreads across her face. "Did something happen between you and Wildberry~?" She says teasingly.

"What!? Uh... maybe.." Crunchy Chip gets a bit flustered in embarrassment. "You're not one to talk though! I know you have feelings for..." The two get silent as they watch Dark Choco casually walk past them. "...him." Crunchy finishes his sentence. Caramel Arrow blushes a bit whilst she watches her crush pass by.

"What!? I don't like him..." Caramel Arrow blatantly lies and gets tense in slight humiliation. Crunchy Chip taunts her, "Don't play dumb, you were never good at hiding it, but uh... Are you sure you still wanna be with him? He's a bit..." Caramel quickly gets quiet and stares at the ground. A somber expression spreads across her face.

Crunchy immediately takes notice of this, "Caramel Arrow...? Are you... alright?" he asks with genuine concern. "Yeah... it's just... I care about Dark Choco a lot... we grew up together but... he's never been the same ever since he got suspended..."

Caramel desperately tries to stay optimistic, "He keeps avoiding me.. I think I might try talking to him." Crunchy Chip's eyes widened, "I don't know about that... I don't trust him. I've seen him hanging around some mean kids." he says with a shrug. "I can't give up on him so easily... maybe he's just stressed and confused?" "Pft, from what? surely, whatever he got suspended for wasn't that bad." Crunchy Chip holds back his laughter. "I don't know? Have you seen him!? He just seems so sad now..." Crunchy just stares at Caramel with uncertainty and worry. 

"Oh! The bell is about to ring, see you later!" Caramel starts speed walking to her next class. "Cya!" Crunchy walks away in the opposite direction.

Caramel Arrow enters her science class. Dark Choco comes in soon after and sits a few seats behind her. The teacher begins instruction and announces to the class that they'll be allowed to work with someone on their next assignment. A joyful smile spreads across Caramel's face upon hearing this. Once the teacher finishes explaining the work, Caramel gets up from her seat and looks towards Dark Choco. 

Dark Choco quietly stares out the window. He hasn't even written his name on his paper yet. Caramel Arrow takes a seat next to him. Dark Choco slowly turns to her with confusion. "Hi! Wanna work together?" She asks eagerly. Dark Choco stares at her blankly for a moment before responding, "sure." He redirects his gaze back towards the window. 

Caramel's face turns to one of slight disappointment. Dark Choco seems very dismissive of her presence, Caramel tries to stay positive and begins to work on the assignment. Some time passes, and Caramel is silently completing the work on her own, giving occasional glances at Dark Choco in between answers. Dark Choco can feel her looking at him. A sudden wave of guilt and temptation washes over him. 

Dark Choco turns back around to face her. He looks down at her paper and then back at her. "Do you need help...?" Dark Choco asks, seeming a bit unsure of himself. Caramel Arrow smiles and nods "Oh, of course" Dark Choco never planned on actually doing the work, but he felt bad making Caramel Arrow do it all on her own. Caramel Arrow guides Dark Choco through the assignment. She tries not to ask too much of him and still ends up doing most of the work. Dark Choco was still putting in a bit of effort to help out, and Caramel Arrow took notice and appreciated it.
