(COSMO'S POV)
Another short chapter
       His head lays on my shoulder. He hasn't talked to anyone since he was at my bakery the other day.
        "Cosmo?" Sprout asks, bringing me out of my daze.
        "Yes?"
        "I love you."
        "I love you too, Sprout." I run my fingers through his hair.
         He gets up and goes to the bedroom in this tiny apartment. When he comes out he's wearing a t-shirt and shorts. He lays on the couch and closes his eyes, his hair spread out like a snowflake.
          "I'm gonna go see Shelly later," I start, I see Sprouts eyes open back up, "wanna come?"
          "No," his face is blank.
          "Alright," I grab my phone and head out of Sprout's apartment. I get to the park and see Shelly sitting on a bench.
          I sit next to her, "Hey, Shelly-" I see that her hand is against her ear. She's on the phone. She puts a finger to her lips. When she's done she finally speaks.
          "Hi, Cosmo." She looks like she's guilty.
          "Hey, Shelly!" I try to strike up conversation, "Find any new fossils?"
          "No," she goes quiet, "I need to go talk to somebody." She walks away, her head looking down.
Why is she acting weird? Why is Sprout acting weird? Not that he isn't always clingy, but he wouldn't have just straight up said he doesn't want to talk to one of his friends.
I grab my phone and see I have 15 notifications from Sprout.
