Ruler x Jammy: BFDIE 6 - Not Just a Henchman

Ruler is completely incapable of admitting that he likes Jammy. Sticker, of course, figures it out immediately and now has a choice: play the supportive wingman... or blatantly ignore Ruler's boundaries, tease him nonstop, and just tell Jammy themself.

(Loosely inspired by BFDIE 6.)

—

Ruler trudged along with his head down, a deep frown carved into his face. He missed his henchman. A lot. Whatever her name was...

She had that cute little lid head. And those pretty orange innards. Ugh... what was her name again?

Was it weird to think of his henchman as beautiful? Like, angelic beautiful? Obviously yes. Extremely weird. And unprofessional. He'd been kind of awful to her lately, too, snapping more than usual. But still... part of him really liked having her around. Not because he liked her or anything! That would be ridiculous.

He just... needed the company. Without her, everything felt empty. Quiet. Wrong.

Sticker, meanwhile, was bored out of their mind. Beach Ball had been eliminated for a while now, and without them, things were painfully dull. Sticker lay sprawled in the grass, absently doodling shapes with a stick.

They paused.

Wouldn't it be funny... Like, really funny... to draw Ruler and Jammy together?

A slow, mischievous grin spread across Sticker's face. Hehehe.

They started sketching a very cute drawing: Ruler and Jammy holding hands, a big sloppy heart around them.

Ruler passed by, and stopped dead.

...What. Was. That.

His eyes locked onto the drawing. Sticker thought he had feelings for his henchman?! Because he absolutely did NOT. Not at all. Never. Why would Sticker even think that?!

Ruler felt his soul leave his body. He wanted to peel his face off and press it into the dirt. Who did that little gremlin think they were?!

"AAUUGHH" He turned away, seething... then immediately deflated.

...What was the point?
Oh, sweet henchman of his... how he missed thee...

With a dramatic sigh, he pulled a top-down photograph of Jammy from his inventory, one he'd definitely taken for totally normal reasons, and stared at it longingly.

Sticker returned a moment later, skipping happily. It was rejoin day! Which meant Beach Ball might be coming back!
And Jammy too.

Oh. Interesting.

Sticker bounced over to Ruler and immediately noticed the photo in his hand.

"Uhhh... is that a picture of—"

"OF MY HENCHMAN! NO IT IS NOT!" Ruler yelped. "WHY WOULD I HAVE THAT? I WOULD NEVER CARRY THAT AROUND—"
GULP.
He shoved the photo straight into his mouth.

Sticker blinked.

"I... am not going to question why you just did that," they said slowly, looking away. "Soooooo... do you have a crush on herrrr?" they teased, elbowing him lightly. "You can tell meee."

"What?!" Ruler snapped. "Of course not! She is my henchman and nothing more. Why would I ever develop feelings for her? That's completely ridiculous."

"Is it though...?" Sticker hummed, smirking.

"Yes," Ruler said stiffly, crossing his arms.

Sticker just grinned wider. "Ohhh, this is gonna be fun."
