Test tube walked up to Balloon with...less than great intentions. After season 3, she could see the tension between them. And Fan kept rambling about them, so this was probably gonna stop him.
She tapped his shoulder, making him flinch and squeeze his eyes shut for a second before realizing it was her.
"Oh, you scared me.." he chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh, hehe, sorry. Just noticed you were a bit more tired recently.." She tried to have a sympathetic tone and expression.
"So I made this coffee for you!" She handed him a mug with mostly normal looking coffee, but it had a bit of a pinkish tint.
"...oh, this is nice and all, but I don't drink coffee." He half-lied, kind of scared.
"Oh, don't worry! I made sure you would like it!" She exclaimed.
"...why?" He asked.
"Hm?"
"I mean, we don't talk much..why are you suddenly giving me this?"
"Oh, I just don't want to leave you tired! I care about all the contestants!" She said, way too energetic.
"...ookkaayyyyyyyy" Balloon hesitantly lifted it up to take a sip, feeling it rude not too [also bc test tube was scaring the shit out of him].
He hesitated once he was about too, but quickly forced himself to take a long but small sip.
He must admit, it didn't taste half bad.
He pulled it away from his lips after drinking, but gave Test tube a thankful smile.
She nodded and walked off.
"...eughhh.." Balloon didn't feel..right after that.
Maybe he just caught something...
He turned and went upstairs, to his room.
His roommate was the little grey sarcastic coin that he wants to make out wi- *COUGH COUGH* huh? What? I didn't say anything.
He opened the door, rubbing his eye and yawning a bit. Nickel was mostly wrapping himself in his blanket, practically cradled in it.
He did that a lot when bored and alone or just with Balloon. He said it made him really comfy whenever Balloon asked.
Balloon always made fun of him and teased him over it a bit, but he secretly found it kind of cute.
Nickel opened his eyes, finding the unwell Balloon walking in and shutting the door, going to his own bed.
"..you ok?" Nickel asked, sounding pretty concerned.
"Yea, Test tube just gave me some weird coffee... " Balloon said, covering up and looking at Nickel for their conversation to continue.
Nickel studied Balloon up and down.
Overall he seemed normal...the most that was wrong was his expression seeming more tired and he sounded weird when talking. He also just kept..staring. Like he couldn't look away from Nickel.
"...you're nice to look at." Balloon said, somewhat hesitant.
Nickel squinted his eyes.
"...excuse me-"
"Yea, you're really nice to look at. Eye candy."
Balloon didn't sound as hesitant when saying this, smiling too.
Nickel didn't know how to respond.
"...no. no, I'm not, don't say that." Nickel said, trying to seem uncomfortable with this so Balloon would stop.
"Why? I'm not lying, I like looking at you!" Balloon got up and walked toward Nickel, sitting next to him.
Nickel moved away from him a bit, not necessarily finding this pleasant. He wasn't used to this type attention, if that's what you can even call it.
"..just..stop." Nickel said.
"Stop what?" Balloon asked playfully.
"Stop saying stuff like that. Stop saying I'm good to look at. I don't like it." Nickel rolled his eyes.
"You are though!" Balloon exclaimed, shocking Nickel by pulling him closer.
Nickel let out a practically silent gasp, rapidly looking around the room as if trying to look for a way to get out of this.
Balloon laughed at him a bit, quickly picking him up and laying back on the pillows. He held Nickel above his face, 'admiring' him, pretty much.
Nickel flailed around, yelling and demanding to be let go.
Despite all of it, he had a small blue hue over his face.
He kicked Balloons arms with all the force in his little coin body, angry and determined [aka; embarrassed, flustered, and annoyed].
Balloons expression softened a bit, catching Nickels attention.
Nickel stopped the demands and attacks, staring at the Balloon.
He rolled his eyes and scoffed, trying to seem annoyed and giving up the attemps at escape that Balloon could say he found somewhat cute.
He held them for another 20 to 30 seconds, which seemed like forever, before finally sitting up against the pillow and sitting Nickel in front of him.
"...Don't ever do that again." Nickel angrily said.
"Why not?" Balloon tilted his head, clearly joking around.
"B-BECAUSE IT WAS STUPID! DONT ASK WHY, JUST LISTEN!" Nickel fumed, clearly agitated.
"But it's cute!" Balloon didn't even try to hide the small dark red on his cheeks, but Nickel tried to hide the blue hue over his face by continuing to yell.
"WHA- NO?!- YOURE SO WEIRD! JUST SHUT UP!"
Nickel demanded, getting up and getting off the bed.
"Aww, where are you going?" Balloon tried to use a fake sad tone, but he still sounded pretty excitable.
"IM LEAVING BECAUSE YOUR BEING STUPID!" Nickel exclaimed, heading to the door.
Balloon got up and began to follow.
"...what are you doing?" Nickel turned to Balloon.
"Following you!" Balloon said with :3 face.
"...no.."
Nickel shook his head and walked to another spot of the room seeing if Balloon would follow.
Balloon did.
Nickel then walked to another side of the room, in front of Balloons desk.
Balloon followed.
Nickel rolled his eyes with a scoff, leaning against the desk and sliding down to sit. "..why are you doing this?" Nickel asked, his eye twitching.
"Cuz I love you :3" Balloon smiled.
Nickels face lit up for a second, both out of shock and with blush, but it quickly went back down. "..Bad joke buddy, your being annoying." Nickel rolled his eyes.
"I'm not joking?" Balloon tilted his head, reaching for Nickel again. Nickel batted his hand away with his foot, getting ready to start yelling again, but he was quickly caught off when Balloon put his other hand on his cheek.
Nickel stopped completely.
Balloon leaned in while he could and planted a peck on Nickels cheek, afterwards picking him again.
___________________________________________
It was basically cut off here bc I lost motivation but hers a quick sum up of how it would've ended
Nickel shakes out of Balloons grasp and forces him to follow him to Test tube bc he thinks she can help, when they get there she accidently slips that she gave him the potion and nickel is [of course] mad at her.
She just says it'll wear off, so they go back to they're room where Balloon followed Nickel into his bed and kind of forced him to cuddle until they fell asleep, but Nickel wasn't complaining
