Zee and Lauren had been inseparable since the day they met on the set of Total Drama. They had bonded over their love for dark humor and twisted minds. But as they grew older, Lauren's feelings for Zee had started to change. She found herself more and more drawn to him, wanting to be more than just friends.
However, Lauren had a dark side. She was scary, perverted, and had violent thoughts that would send chills down anyone's spine. Zee was the only one who understood about this side of her, and he accepted her for who she was.
One day, as they were hanging out at Zee's apartment, Lauren couldn't keep her feelings bottled up any longer. She decided to take a chance and tell Zee how she felt.
'Zee~! can we talk?' Lauren nervously asked, playing with the ends of her hair.
'Sure, what's up dude?' Zee replied, noticing the unease in her voice.
'I- wanna date you- ' Lauren confessed, in a normaller tone, her face turning red with embarrassment.
Zee's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting this from his best friend. He had always seen Lauren as just a friend, but now that she had said it out loud, he couldn't deny the small spark of attraction he felt towards her.
'I-I don't know what to say man' Zee stuttered, taking a drink of his soda.
'I know, it's weird for me to have feelings~ normally i just wanna hear everyone scream!,' Lauren said, her voice highpitched
Zee took a moment to gather his thoughts before finally speaking up. 'I care about you a lot, dude. But I don't want to lose our friendship- yaknow?,' he said honestly.
Lauren nodded, understanding his concerns. 'I know~! I don't want to lose you either~ your screams calm me down!' she replied, a small hint of disappointment in her voice.
Zee could see the disappointment in her eyes and he didn't want to hurt her. He knew that she was a sensitive person, despite her scary exterior.
'Look, let's just take things slow and see where it goes. I don't want to rush into anything and ruin what we have,dude,' Zee suggested, hoping to ease the tension between them.
Lauren smiled, grateful for his understanding. 'Thank you, Zee~!,' she said, feeling relieved that their friendship wasn't going to be affected.
As they continued talking, Zee couldn't help but notice a change in Lauren's behavior.
'Hey, are you okay?' Zee asked, concerned by the sudden change in her demeanor.
Lauren hesitated for a moment before finally opening up to Zee. 'I'm fine~!, it's just...I've been struggling with some things lately. Sometimes I have these dark thoughts and I can't control them,' she admitted, her voice high pitched and squeaky.
Zee felt a pang of guilt for not noticing how much she was struggling. He reached out and held her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze, offering her a drink of his soda.
'You know you can always talk to me about anything, right dude?' Zee said, looking into her eyes with sincerity.
Lauren nodded, feeling grateful for his support. 'I know~! You're the only one who understands me and didn't want me to change who i am~!,' she said, feeling a sense of comfort in his presence.
