The Owl Loves The Fox [Vantoonz One Shots]

I was wrong, he does like me.

"You've got a crush on someone?" Delirious asked out of curiosity. "Yeah I do.. and I'm not telling you unless I feel ready to." Luke sighed. He didn't want to keep much from his best friend but he was simply because of fear he didn't know was in him.

"No no, that's fine Luke. I'm not forcing you to tell me. I don't care who it is as long as you're happy." Jon then smiled. Luke smiled a bit after. "Thanks Del, I can always count on you."

"Well of course, we're here for each other."

With that, Luke was off. He was going to meet to person he liked so much but he didn't know how this particular one would react to his confession.

What if I'm wrong? Luke thought to himself. What if he doesn't like me back? Shit wouldn't be the same.

Ah, but it didn't stop Luke.
Whether he liked it or not, he wanted this person to know. Even if it did tear them apart from what little friendship they had. At least Luke spoke his feelings.

Coming to a stop, Luke parked his car near Starbucks because, fuck it, it was his favorite place. That and the one time he was able to see this person in the flesh before he want back home.

He locked his car and all that bullshit before walking up and opening the door. I don't know what it was. Luke really loved the smell everytime he walked in. Felt like another home since he was there a lot. And I mean a lot.

To hell with it.

Luke got something. He wasn't expecting to get anything while he was here but he did. The smell overpowered his thoughts.

"Cartoonz..?"
A simply question was let out.
The voice was really familiar.
Too American for a Canadian.

"Hey Vanoss." Luke walked over and sat down at the booth with him. "I didn't expect you honestly, I-"
Luke cut evan off.
"Expected Delirious I know..he kinda set this up for me."
Evan was slightly confused but shrugged it off. Luke was able to get his drink before speaking again.

"I have something I need to get off my chest." He spoke after a minute. "Sure what's on your mind?" Evan set his phone on the table, giving Luke his full attention. It only made Luke's fear within him rise. "Well, uh..I have a major crush on someone and it's never made me so nervous to bring it up before."

Evan titled his head. "Oh? Do you mind me asking what this persons name is?"
Those words sent a panic through Luke.
"Shit well, I-- uh.. Evalyn. .?"

Shit, he's gonna take notice.

"Evalyn huh? Sounds cute." Evan laughed a little before sipping from his drink.

BOY I COULD TELL YOU

"YEAH-" Luke looked away suddenly.
Why is this harder than I thought?
"So what's this Evalyn like?" Vanoss set his arms on the table a little interested in what Luke had to say.

Fuck

"They got short black hair, love the color red, obsessed with a bird..uh..very attractive..and..they're someone I work with on and off.."
Luke swallowed hard. He felt as if he gave enough details about Evan himself to tell the truth. But he didn't know how far he got.

"Well, they sound fun to be around."

Trust me, you are.

"Yep.." Luke was silent for a few minutes. "I have a question though." Evan sat back.

He knows.

"Why did you pick me to talk to? Have you spoke to delirious about it?" Luke had felt a some relief. "I did talk to delirious about it. Delirious mentioned that I should talk to you, get another friends opinion on it."

"Alright then. As far as I'm concerned, they sound like a great person. You should just tell then you like them." Evan set his hands on the table again.

Easy for you to say

"See and that's what's hard for me. I can talk to them perfectly fine but when it comes to telling how I feel, I freeze up." He sighed. Luke didn't know if Evan would understand after this.

"I get that, honestly. But pretend I'm that person you like and tell me exactly how you feel. Maybe some practice would help." Vanoss moved his hands in small gestures as he spoke.

I'd rather die

"Alright.." Luke agreed. WHY DID I AGREE? "Uh well...Evalyn-- I think you're a very sweet person and for anyone to be with you is lucky. It's just, I've liked you for a really long time and I've been wanting to know if..you'd like to go out sometime.."

"No." Evan spoke. Luke froze up. "Oh my god Luke I'm kidding, I didn't know you'd be that bad with freezing up."

Such a confidence boost

"But if I was that person, I honestly would say yes cause it takes some guts to admit that." Evan smiled. "You should honestly go tell that person how you feel now. I think you did great."

Luke laughed nervously.
"I already told em.."
Then a wave a rejection flew over him. He kept his head down and didn't say a word.

I'm fucked..

"Wait..I'm...Pfft well duh evalyn makes a lot of sense now." Evan crossed his arms then let them fall after a few minutes with a sigh.
"Luke..that's sweet and all..."

But you don't like me back..

"I would love to." He smiled.
Luke quickly rose his head and looked at Evan. "You're serious?" Evan nodded after Luke's words.

I was wrong, he does like me.
