We're just friends....Right?

Making amends

"Umm.... S-sure" Zane said and stepped aside letting the hedgehog in red spiked boots, black jeans, and black coat. When Bonestine walked passed him his dark mint cologne filled Zane's nose once more and made him weak in the knees. "I want to apologize..." Bonestine said bluntly. Zane felt a huge sigh of relief and smiled. "Same here.... Can I get you anything to drink?" Zane offered and Bonestine smiled, making Zane's heart flutter. "Sure. Do you have any hot tea or coffee?" He asked while removing his coat. "Yeah I'll brew some up. Which one would you like?" Zane asked. "I really would like your coffee, you make it really good." Bonestine said while holding the doorway to slip off his boots. "Ok" Zane replied then walked into the kitchen. He opens up the wooden cabinet and takes out the tin can of instant coffee. Bonestine sits at the island table watching and admiring Zane's every movement. "If he wasn't still with her I would kiss him right now." He thought as Zane finished up preparing the coffee then pressed the small plastic button turning the pot on. "Are you hungry for anything?" Zane asked. "For your lips on mine" Bonestine thought. "Um no I already ate. I'd stopped by at Amy and Peach's bakery which by the w—" Bonestine was cut off when Darcy walks through the door. "Zane I forgot my— oh Bonestine what are you doing here." She said with a fake smile that Bonestine noticed. She looks down and sees the bakery bag. "What do you hit there?" She asked. "A breakfast pastry for Zane? Also I'm here to talk things out between us" he said. She squinted her eyes and pressed her lips forward then walks over and suddenly snatched the bag from him. "Hey Darcy, that's not cool!" Zane said and she opened the bag seeing the honey and blueberry filled danish. "He doesn't even like honey blueberry danishes" she said and goes to throw it away but Zane snatches the bag away. "Actually I do because theyre my favorite.'' Zane said and her eyes formed confusion. "Since when?" She snapped. "Since we were five years old," Bonestine said. "Well I didn't know that" she hissed and grabs her lipgloss from the counter and sat down. "So you making something zanyboo?" She asked as her purse thumped on the floor. "Yeah....coffee. Thanks for the danish bones." Zane said and took a bite of the sweet and slightly warm treat. "Of course man." Bonestine smiled. "Can you make me some hot tea baby?" Darcy said. "Don't you have an appointment to get too?" Zane said and she rolled her eyes then looks at her smart watch. "Fair enough be back later" she said and scooped up her purse before clicking her heels on the dark marble floor to the door. Once they heard the door open and slams shut Zane growled in annoyance. "I think I made a mistake." He said out loud . "Why do you say that?" Bonestine smirked but deep down had some hope. "I don't know.... Maybe you were right about being a spineless little bi—" "That's not true and I'm sorry for saying that... I really am. I truly crossed a line and took my anger out on you. It wasn't fair to you and I fucked up by not being more understanding. I was a terrible friend to you Zane. I should've respected the fact you weren't ready to talk about what was on your mind." Bonestine said. "And I'm sorry for my part as well and that you weren't ready to talk about what was in your mind either." Zane replied, tail slightly and slowly wagging. "Ar-are we....cool?" Bonstine asked. "Yeah as Ice" Zane smiled and held up his fist. Bonestine smiled and lifted up his fist then connected it to Zane's. Both their hearts were racing but it wasn't time to tell each other how they truly felt. The coffee pot hissed indicating that it was ready. "Two sweeteners right?" He said and Bonestine nods. Zane rips two blue packets and empty it continents in the black mug with bones and skulls on it. He takes the pot and pours the coffee in the mug and takes the spoon to stir before setting the mug down in front of Bonestine. "Thanks" he said. Zane makes his coffee and sat next to bonestine while they continue to talk. Zane smiles at him before he takes another bite of the danish. Bonestine chuckles at Zane who raised a brow. "What?" He asked. "You got a little" Bonestine taps his own side of his lip telling Zane about the blueberry stain on the side. Zane wipes the wrong side and Bonestine chuckles before taking his thumb and wipes it off. Yet when he does it was like a small shock between them. Their hearts raced as they looked into each other's eyes and soon they unknowingly started leaning forward but stopped once Bonestines phone rang. He pulls out his phone and sees it was his father calling. "Shit I was supposed to meet my dad. I got to go thanks for the coffee and I'm glad we talked." He smiled. "Oh it's ok, no problem. I'm glad we talked too" Zane replied. Bonestine nods and gulps down the rest of his mug before slipping his boots and coat on. "I'll call Zapella and tell her we're cool." Zane said. "Ok see ya man" Bonestine said and left the house. Zane cleans up the two mugs and throws away the empty bag feeling very happy. He brushed the side of his face where Bonestine's thumb touched him and how badly he wanted to kiss him. He pulls out his phone and calls zapella to tell her about the talk. She was happy with the news and asked if he told him. Zane sighed and explained how he hadn't but is happy to at least be friends again with Bonestine. Once he ended the call he sat on the couch smiling. Then he thinks back on that moment again and then remembers them both leaning forward and bolts up from the couch.. "OH MY GOD I DID ALMOST KISS HIM!" He said then realized.

"And he almost kissed me..... does he.... Feel the same way?"
