Best Friends? (NICKLOON)

Chapter 7 - Happily Ever After (PT 2 FINALE)

Oh no. This is bad. VERY... very bad. What do I do now..? How do I explain myself? He's staring at me with those stupid eyes... like he's in love with me or something... I'm such a dumbass, of course he's in love with me... we just fucking kissed...

I can't find my words to even say a sentence. Balloon is staring at me so intently it's almost scary...

"Uh-"

I manage to get out, but my face just goes red... Why can't I speak? I want to... but.. I can't.

"So.. we... er-" Balloon stuttered.

I bury my face in my hands to hide from him.. I don't even have an excuse anymore. Wow.

"Uhm... what- are.. we...??"

I groan, my face just feeling hotter and hotter...

"I-I don't know.." I mumble.

Neither of us are going to speak up.. but we both know exactly what we want to say.

I then add, "...This is happening too fast..."

Balloon puts a hand on my shoulder, and I glance up from my hands.

"L-listen.. I don't know what.. possessed you there... but i'm not gonna do anything until you're fine with it..."

That was the breaking point... Not only was Balloon the sweetest, most pretty, funny, endearing person he's ever met, but he was so respectful to his boundaries... He was perfect.

"I-I think i'm in love with you."

I said, too fast for even ME to recognize what had come out of my mouth before it was too late.

"I'm in love with you too."

Recap.

Balloon never really hated me, he just pretended to, and I knew he did. Ever since we got eliminated, we had shared a room, and it all went downhill from there.,. I had a weird depressive episode, then I got sick... somehow... And... so much has happened... But this has to be the peak of the year. One thing was for sure, kissing Balloon of all people, was not on my 2024 bucket list.

"Y-you... I-... How long.. have I not known this..?"
"A while.. a long while... A bit before we both got eliminated.."
"But I was such a jerk..? I.. I-I still am..?"
"But you try, right..?"
"...."

He knew how to get under my skin, I swear..

"w-wow..."

...

"So.. what are we?"
"More than Best Friends..?"

BALLOON'S POV:

And so, that's our story, I suppose.

but to really sum it up...

I've always loved Nickel.. I know he's always loved me. He's tried so hard to just... be better. and now he really has changed. I love him. He loves me..

I close my diary, setting down the pencil...

"Wowww, poet.." Nickel smirks.
"Shut up..." I respond with a kiss on the cheek.

Suppose it was a good idea to let him write his own parts... he's a good writer, he just doesn't have the motivation, I suppose..

The End.
