Recap:"Yes I'm sure, but I do want to talk about something once we get home"

They grabbed something to eat and left the carnival and went back to the octopod where almost everyone was already asleep.

Kwazii and Shellington quietly snuck upstairs to the game room and sat down on the beanbags, they sat in silence for a few minutes.

Shellington picked his nails, "I'm sorry if I did anything wrong-"

Kwazii let out a sigh, "Shellington I swear, if you apologize ONE MORE TIME... I will explode. You didn't do anything wrong and even if you, I would forgive you in a heartbeat."

"You... you would?"

"Yes! Yes I would! But that's not what I want to talk about."

"What do you wanna talk about then?"

"I wanna talk about you."

"Me? Why me?"

"Why not you? You've been weird lately," he held up his hand, "Don't apologize for that. I know it probably wasn't your intention, but you still did it anyway and I want to know why."

"I was... I was scared,"

"What? Why?"

"That I can't say." He looked away embarrassed.

Kwazii put his hands on Shellington's shoulders, "Come on Shellington, you can tell me anything."

"Promise you won't hate me for this?"

"Promise."

"I was scared that you would hate me for... uhm... hey why didn't you bring this up sooner?"

"Shellington don't change the topic. We are talking about you not me."

"Ok fine! I had a crush on you and I was scared that if I told you, you would be disgusted and hate me." Tears started forming in his eyes as his voice began to shake, "A-and I didn't wanna ruin our friendship b-because you're really important to me, and I felt like if I told you, I'd lose you."

Kwazii wiped away Shellington's tears, "You could never lose me. And even if you could I doubt it would be that easy." He laughs a little, "I wished you would've told me sooner, I was starting to think that you hated me."

"You wished I told you sooner?"

"I'm saying I like you."

Shellington's mind went blank. They sat in silence for a couple of seconds, "You like me?"

"I thought it was obvious, I called you babe and other pet names. I literally kissed you on the way home."

"The kiss was on the check, I thought you were being friendly!!"

Kwazii laughed again, "I love you so much but jeez, you're so blind when it comes to love." He grabbed Shellington's head and pressed his lips against his, they both close their eyes as Shellington wraps his arms around Kwaziis neck pulling him closer. Shellington let's go of him, panting. "You still think me kissing you is just me being 'friendly'?" Kwazii asks in a teasing way.

"Shut up," Shellington crossed his arms.

Kwazii smirked, "You know you wanna kiss again."

"Maybe."

Kwazii goes in for another kiss but gets interrupted when someone opens the door.

"LETS FUCKING GO!!!! I HELPED YOU GUYS GET TOGETHER, Y'ALL OWE ME."

Kwazii groaned.  Shellington softly giggled, "Paani knock next time, me and Kwazii were in the middle of something."

"Okay... bye love birds, leave the door open!!" He shut the door and left them alone again.

Shellington grabbed Kwazii's hand, "Now... where were we?"

Feels good writing a short chapter again. Thanks for reading this silly fanfic!! It was a lot of fun working on this, I'll probably do another fanfic- definitely longer than this one. I sorta hate how rushed this one was, I originally made it as a joke and for fun but I ended up actually liking it. If I were to remake this in the future I would definitely change a lot of things, but overall I'm pretty proud of myself! I already have another fanfic idea in mind, first chapter will hopefully come out somewhere in December!! Can't wait to write for you guys again, have a great day and remember to drink water!!
