SMG3's POV
It had been a few days since the battle. Well, now we were just here together outside in the Internet Graveyard. Me and Four were just chatting like usual, and I was definitely not barely keeping myself together around this not cute at all Meme Guardian.
Why is it so fucking hard for me to accept anything about myself...
"I just want to say...again...thanks for saving me, SMG4," I said to him, blushing a little. He just smiled at me. "Well, we're friends now, aren't we. Isn't that what friends are for?"
Friends. Yeah, just friends... I thought. But there was so much I wanted to tell him. My mind was screaming KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT OR YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHING but my heart was saying, uh, like a shit ton of really crappy pickup lines that I could never say out loud or I'd probably die of embarrassment.
"Three?" he said. It was what everyone called me, but hearing him say my name felt kind of...nice. His annoying little voice.
"C-can I tell you something?" SMG4 asked, glancing away.
"Sure," I said. "What's up?"
"I-" Four's voice was quiet now, but I listened closely. "I dunno if this is the right time, but- I- I really like you, Three. Like...m-more than a friend," he said to me.
Oh.
Oh.
Fuck, he just...said...
Wait, wh-what do I say? Panic panic panic-
It doesn't matter...I'll j-just say what I'm thinking...
"I...I feel the same way about you," I said, shifting my gaze to the ground as my face grew warmer.
"Really? ...y-you do?" Four asked, his eyes lighting up with a spark of hope.
"I...I like you, Four. I really, really do." I said, too nervous to look him in the eyes, my heart was beating so fast right now. "I liked you for a long time, and yeah, I only really figured it out recently, I think... I'm- I'm sorry, I- I kind of panicked there," I laughed.
"Yeah, me too," said Four. God, this felt so unreal. "Um...So, uh, I guess all of my worries were for nothing," he smiled. "I was actually worried you wouldn't like me back..."
I was worried that you wouldn't like me either, I thought. But I was terrified. Terrified of everything. What if I say the wrong thing now? I'll just fuck everything up, I just know it... Fuck, this makes me so nervous...what do I say now what do I say now help-
When I snapped back to reality, I noticed something. Unexpectedly, I was suddenly very close to Four. I could hear his soft breathing. We were so close to each other, just inches away. Our faces were inches apart.
Our lips connected..
I didn't want to pull away. I felt Four's lips on mine. It was like I finally realized something, that I was so stupid to have denied my feelings for so long. The kiss didn't feel...wrong. I found myself kissing back. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. This is happening. My heart was beating so fast by then I probably should have died.
SMG4 pulled himself away from me, letting me breathe again. "I...I'm so sorry, I'm being so stupid, it's just...I've been...wanting that for a while," he said. "God, I'm fucking stupid. I ruined everything..."
"Four..."
"I- I'm a fucking idiot, Three, I..."
"Four!"
The other boy buried his face in his hands. "I'm s-sorry... What were you gonna say?"
"SMG4, no matter what happens between us after this, I could never hate you. None of your friends hate you. We want you to feel like you really do belong with us, even after all the crazy shit we go through each year. No matter what happens, no matter how much of it you cause, we'll never leave your side." I looked into his bright blue eyes, seeing tears of joy.
"Thanks, SMG3," said Four. "I don't know what this all means for us now, but I know we can tackle it!"
I grinned at the cute idiot. This was probably going to be just one big mess, but it didn't have to be perfect at all. Everything's so peaceful now, like at the end of one of our story arcs.
"Well..." I began.
I held Four's hand, and the calm flow of Meme Energy surrounded us. "Of course we can tackle this. We're in this together now, aren't we?"
