a nightmares end (goob x shrimpo)

Outbursts and solutions.

Shrimpos pov

He sighed, looking at the sky before standing up and walking away, pebbles darted infront of him causing him to almost fall. Huffing and storming off to his room, there was nothing really to do, all the floors were not his thing and talking to other toons was just... do i even have to say it? He sat down on the chair to his desk, spinning around and picking up a pen, Pulling out his notebook and doodling in it, his ink scratches being messy and unclear. Groaning and scribbling it all out, scrunching up the paper and throwing it behind him, dropping his head in his arms.
'I can never do anything right. Thats why everytoon hates me. Even Goob is starting to grow distant.. i was wrong to ever talk nice to him.'
Gently lifting up his head and stepping on the cold, hard floor all the way over to his bed. Just before he sat down a knock sounded from his door, annoying him even further.
"Come in." He said, not even bothering to get up from his bed that was messy with untidy sheets and scrunched paper all over it. He heard a jingle of bells and instantly knew who it was even before the door opened, puff.
"Heya shrimpo, oh yea just asking uhm.. do you have a crush on goob?" As soon as those words came out of her mouth he grew wide eyed, staring at the Clouded leopard with a mad expression.
"Okay okay! No need to be all mad n stuff. I know im a tattletale but i wont tell Scraps, i never ever told Scraps i had a crush on her! So why would i say this?" Puff would admit, his gaze not softening but just about mumbling something in response.
"Yes.. now get out!" Raising his voice at the last words, gesturing Puff away with his hand. She smiled childishly but then said one more thing before shutting the door.
"Well theres kinda a big thing goin on at the main floor if you wanna check it out. Goob told me to say it!" And with a ring of bells she was gone, door shut and silence filling up the room, he could practically hear the grass swaying from outside and the... toons arguing? That never happens unless he's around?
He stood up straight and traveled towards his door, creaking it open just slightly to hear the voices better.. it was scraps and... Goob? But why would they be arguing together?
Stepping towards the stairs, the inaudible voices becoming clearer as he inched nearer.
"Im telling you he'd bad news! Dont you believe me!"
"Well so, im my own person and i can do what i want! You dont hear me complaining about you and Puff!"
His heart dropped. Were they talking about him and Goob? Did Puff actually spill what he said? He ran into the argument and stood in between the two,  staring at Goob with a stern face.
"Shrimpo, is it really true you have a crush on me?" Goob said with a curious tone, he couldnt say the truth. He had to lie.
"No! Why would i have a crush on someone so pathetic and foolish like you! All this time you acted nice thinking i liked you when i despised you! You suck as much as the other toons. How could anyone date someone like you." He gave a smug smile, crossing his arms but he took a glimpse of Scraps face and his expression dropped. She was staring at Goob with worry, he looked over and saw tears forming at the base of his eyes, closing them and running away to the rooms. Before he could even act he was pushed to the ground by Scraps, her snarling before following after Goob, he knew she was going to comfort him. He heaved himself up, rubbing his now stinging elbow and wondering why he even said all that stuff. Why did he? Trodding up the stairs and staring with heavy eyes at Goob's door, entering his own located right next to it.

Goob's pov

He wiped his eyes that was streaming down with tears, did Shrimpo really feel that way after everything they'd done...? He hugged Scraps tighter, feeling her paw gently stroke his back was soothing but didnt get rid of any hurt that made his body ache. He wanted words from Shrimpo, He tried saying it to Scraps but he couldnt even gather the strength to say anything.
"Hey Goob... im just going to be gone for a bit, okay? Im not leaving you at all, just dont even think of that jerk anymore." Her voice was soft and comforting, pulling away from the embrace and leaving him cold, empty and lonely in his room. He felt more hollow than an old tree a termite had eaten through, his fur under his eyes were damp from his tears and his body shook with the shock he experienced when he'd heard the truth.. or what could be the truth. He lied his head against the wall and took a deep breath which came out shaky, raising his knees to his chest and wrapping his arms around it as it acted like someone was near him. Hearing the door open expecting it to be Scraps but was met with horror as he readjusted his focus and met eyes with Shrimpo. He stepped closer, shutting the door so the light from outside wouldnt mess with his eyesight from the unusual dark atmosphere in his room.
"Look Goob.. im sorry.. i didnt mean any of it.." he'd uncurl his body and look at Shrimpo with big eyes, full of tears that had not yet fallen out. Pulling Shrimpo in for a hug as his tail slowly started wagging again.. was this all he needed to feel better?
"Goob.. i do have a crush on you." His eyes lit up and ears raised, smiling with no more pain hidden deep throughout his body.
"Im glad you didnt mean it.. i love you too stupid Shrimp.." His cheeks grew pink but a click of the door startled him and he placed Shrimpo next to him. Scraps walked in and was confused but a hint of anger could be seen just about,
"Why is he here." She growled, her ears pinned and tail thrashing.
"Dont worry Scraps! He apologised and uhm..." he struggled on how to tell his sister about the previous conversation , Shrimpo barging in with a quite good lie.
"I apologised and hugged him. It made him feel better. But i'll be going now" shrimpo shuffled to the side of the bed and dropped down onto the soft floor, walking across the room to the door and walking out of it. He felt a tint of disappointment but was happy they both felt the same way about eachother.

Shrimpo's short pov

He sprinted to his room and slammed the door, red face and twitching tail, he sat down on his bed, pulled the sheets over him and rested his head on the pillow. Almost instantly falling asleep, he was surprised to see for once a normal dream, Friendly toons, nice conversations. There was no violent killing or limbs ripping, no machines, no ichor, no horror. Could it be.. a nightmares end...?
