A/N

*bangs head repeatedly on table until blood spews out of forehead*

IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY

I know I haven't updated and y'all hate me so much but I have been so busy! And I mean busy. I tried to put all my stuff on Google Calendar AND I FREAKING CRASHED IT. THATS HOW MUCH STUFF I HAVE.

Anyway, I'm forcing myself to stay awake (even until 2am, if need be) and finish this chapter, even though I'm typing on my phone and...well...you know how that goes...

I apologize. Again. Because I'm failing y'all. But I'm trying. And I know it's another freaking cliffhanger. I'm sowwy, I'll post chapter 66 soon.

Your POV
You slept at Planet Express that night. Again. And for the same reasons.

It was just too awkward.

You couldn't handle the tension that had grown between you and Bender. In fact, it made you sad. You missed the relationship you used to have with him. You would follow him everywhere, and curl up into a cat on his lap, and then he'd pet your back without hesistation. He wouldn't flinch if you touched him. You wondered if Bender felt the same way.

Speak of the devil, here he is now.

Bender's POV
There she was. Even when she has a slight bedhead, she still looks beautifu- Bender! Snap out of it! You need to concentrate.

I glanced around the empty Planet Express TV room. No one was in here. Fry had done his job well. He promised that he would get everyone out of the building somehow, and he was true to his word. That little meatbag sure knew what he was doing. Oh, right, back to (Y/N).

"Uh....hi." I said awkwardly.

Your POV
"Hi Bender. What's up?" you said casually, trying not to notice Bender's uncomfortableness, if that was even a word.
"I, um..." Bender mumbled. He looked as though he we're debating something with himself.

Bender's POV
This wasn't going well. I was stuttering like there was no tomorrow and I couldn't think of anything to say. Not even a freaking conversation starter.

~Flashback~
"...everyone gets one chance at love in their life..."
"But you have to be quick and seize the chance! You only get one chance."
~End Flashback~

I was going to do this. I was going to do it. It was about time for me to man up.

Your POV
You stood up and put your blanket on the couch. Bender was still fiddling with his fingers, looking down at the floor. You walked past him and see his face grow determined. You shrugged mentally and continued to walk past him to the door of the kitchen. His back was facing you.

Then you heard Bender blurt out the words you never expected him to say.

"I love you!"
