Red Vs Blue Book of One-Shots

Five words can mean a lot

Stupid, stupid, stupid! 'I've always loved you Katie?!' What the hell was that?!

Palomo was in deep shit.

And I mean up to elbows in it.

After Kimball's amazing speech, he was so thrilled so he just-

Ugh! He hated himself right now. Tucker would probably hate him more, if that was even possible.

Why?! Why did he have to be such an Idiot?!

He ruined it.

He could've had an actual life with Katie and he just...

... Messed it all up.

It's the only thing he was good at.

Hell, Tucker hated him, Kimball wanted him out of the way, but Jensen-

... It was too much to see shattered before him.

Those five words just brought down his whole life.

His hope.

His Katie.

Everything slowed down, as if time was letting the realization sink into his brain.

Five words had just dropped the glass case that held his future.

It was worse than dying, honestly.

Imagine being forced to watch your own undoing, but at the hand of your own stupidity.

No hope.

All shattered.

Five words.

Time started to gradually speed up as Palomo's throat grew tighter with anticipating tears.

He messed up everything.

Again.

He messed up his life in five words.

As he was registering this, Jensen turned to face him, shocked.

"Wait... What?!" She shrieked.

Oh.

Oh no.

She heard him.

You always mess up everything!

It may have been the timespan of a millisecond, but it seemed like light years when the two stared at each other.

Both so afraid.

Both so confused.

Palomo had to think of something, quick.

God damn it, he's watched Scott Pilgrim a million times! If he can get himself out of these situations, so can you!

"I-Uh... Misread that! Alright, fight some bad guys, woo..."

That was great. Really man. 10/10. Freaking quality shit right there.

Jensen and Palomo just started in confusion while the rest of the crowd was cheering and the two's conversation had gone unnoticed.

Smith and Matthews were crying out as they were highfiving, but Smith shushed the other as they glanced over to their other teammates.

Jensen and Palomo, of course, didn't know this.

So Jensen just ripped off their helmets and kissed like one of those World War Two photos, where Palomo tilted her downward and Jensen had her hands around his neck.

Smith and Matthews stared at eachother before having the most excited smile behind their visors. They began whistling, trying to get Kimball and the others' attention.

After a moment, they were all looking at Smith, so he just pointed to the new couple.

Tucker yelled something along the lines of 'Dear god finally now you two can have ridiculously cute children that annoy me but I love at the same time', while others simply jumped for joy.

Today was a good day.

Palomo hadn't actually messed up.

He made Tucker proud.

He made Katie proud.

He didn't mess up five words.

Five words didn't break his hope and life...

It built on top of it.
