"Well, that was a long trip!" Shelby exclaimed, stepping off of the boat onto the worn dock. Ross soon followed, adjusting his hoodie's horn so that it pointed straight up.

"What do you expect, Megan?" He teased, tipping her crown so her bangs covered her face. "We traveled overseas. We can't just show up in a five minute ride."

She quickly fixed her hair, readjusting her silver crown on her head. "Anyway..." She took out her phone, holding it above her head, pressing the record button. "Hello, and welcome to a custom map! I'm here in Greyfield with... Where are you?!" She quickly turned around, looking for her friend.

"Boo," Ross snuck up behind her, grabbing her shoulders and making her jump.

She gasped, nearly dropping the electronic into the water. "Ross!" She shouted, putting her phone into the slot in her crown so she could record.

"Guess you could say that was spooktacular," Ross smiled his regular, goofy smile. Readjusting his glasses, he pat Shelby on the back before running through the gates of the town.

Shelby turned around; looking at the boat they just stepped out of. She began to blush madly, her hands starting to shake.

How do I tell him that I love him?

After talking with Hans and spending money in the market district, they decide to head to the inn and rent a room.

"Two rooms or one?" Ross asked, his hand hovering over the button to call over the clerk.

"One!" Shelby almost yelled, covering her mouth quickly after. He chuckled, pressing the button and calling over the clerk.

"Uhh... Shelbs?"

"Yeah?"

"Got any cash?"

"Where's yours?"

"Spent it all on apples."

"Ross!"

"Ye," He smiled and she laughed, handing the clerk the money. After grabbing the key, they went up to their room, noticing that there were two beds next to each other.

"Over there," Shelby pointed to the window, and Ross grabbed his bed, moving it over a bit.

"Far enough?" He asked, looking up for a second.

"Hmm... father," She giggled as he moved his bed to the windowsill.

"Here?" He asked, looking up again.

"Perfect!" She yelled, her hands up in the air. She took the phone from her crown, putting it above her head again. "Anyway guys, me and Ross gotta rest after that long day of doing absolutely nothing. See you tomorrow. Boi!"

"Bye........." Ross trailed off as she ended the recording. "Well that was certainly something."

"Yeah..." Shelby mumbled, rubbing the back of her neck. She threw her phone on her bed, sitting down next to it.

"What's wrong, Shelbs?" Ross inquired, sitting down on his own bed.

"It's..."

Tell him! Tell him now!

"It's nothing, Ross."

"If something's up, tell me, 'kay?" He said, standing up. She nodded, and looked away. "Well, I'm going to hit the hay. See 'ya in the mornin'," He turned to his bed, placing his hand on the sheet that covered it.

Almost instinctively, Shelby ran over to him, covering his hand with her own. They both looked up, meeting each other's gaze. She began to blush deeply, wanting to speak so badly, but not finding the right words to do so.

"I..."

"Shelby, it's okay."

"I... I don't want to be alone tonight," The words flew out of her mouth, and she desperately wished they hadn't.

"You're not alone. I'm right here," He put his other hand on top of hers, creating a stack. She looked away, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Will.... Will you.... Sleep with me... Tonight?" She cringed as she heard the words come out of her mouth, pulling her hand away and going back over to her bed. "No, I'm sorry, it was stupid."

"Yes."

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked. I didn't want to say it, but it kinda just came out, and..."

"Shelby, I said yes."

"... I'm just so sorry that I asked, and you probably don't even like me-"

"SHELBY!"

"What?!"

He clears his throat before beginning again. "Yes, I would love to accompany you in your slumber, m'lady," Ross tipped his hood like a fedora, making the horn bounce along with it. She laughed as a few tears ran down her cheeks. She found herself wondering if they were from sadness or joy for a mere second before grabbing his bed and dragging it to his original position next to hers.

She moved her phone and crown into the nearby enderchest, slipping off her hoodie and throwing that in there as well, so she was just in a tank top. He took off his hood, unzipping the jacket, revealing a white t-shirt that was hidden beneath it.

Shelby slid under the blanket of her own bed, Ross soon following. He wrapped his arm around her, beginning to spoon her. She, still crying a bit, covered Ross' hand with hers.

She held it for as long as she could before falling asleep.

Just a little shit I pulled together after imagining Shelby stopping Ross from breaking his bed and them spooning each other for the night.

ANYWAY

Hope you enjoyed this mini one-shit (it was a mistake that I wrote that at first, but it sounded good so I left it).

Thanks for reading!
