"Everybody loves somebody sometime Everybody falls in love somehow Something in your kiss just told me My sometime is now..."
A song played through the radio. It was a miracle the radio was still working after a long time, but then again, they could just ask Vee to play them music on her monitor. Rare chance she'd ever do it though.
"They still have radio stations?"
Vee leaned over the seat behind Shrimpo, startling him.
"Ah- I HATE RADIO STATIONS!"
The shrimp yelled and stomped angrily, causing the tv to roll her eyes and walk away, arms crossed. What's the use when you can't talk to the person and get their attention?
[Timeskip]
Shrimpo wearily glanced around his room, frowning slightly at the ripped up wallpaper.
It was colored a vibrant shade of red and looked pretty nice- if you didn't count in the holes and mess in the room.
He'd just ignore it. (Like many times before.)
~~~Boxten.
*step, step, step*
Boxten barely suppressed a squeak as he limped through the halls, barely missing one of the floorboards that was known to creak a lot.
"If it weren't for that terrible run, I wouldn't even be awake this late..."
He sighed, slumping down near a room. The music box had been on a run with some toons before getting hit by one of Twisted Sprout's ichor appendages- which had almost claimed his life if it weren't for Goob grabbing him in the nick of time.
Shrimpo had helped him patch up his wounds too for some reason. He (Shrimpo) had been receiving glances from other toons who saw him during that time. Pretty weird for him to be doing that.
"♫~"
The music box flinched when the door beside him creaked slightly.
"Boxten...?"
A rather rough voice whispered.
"Oh. It's um, you."
Boxten looked at Shrimpo with half-lidded eyes and tucked his head between his knees. The shrimp himself sighed and sat down next to the other.
"Why'd you help me?"
The box peeked out from his knees at the shrimp who flushed a bit.
"...I guess it's because you're the key to my heart?"
The shrimp awkwardly smiled, his face now completely flushed.
"So who taught you cheesy lines, Shrimpo?"
"...no one. It's because I love you I guess..."
"Since when was this a confession"
"..."
The music box smiled. Now that was a side he'd want to see over and over again.
