Fresh x Paper Jam : The Innocent Love

Chapter 7

Paper Jam's POV

"Mr. Fresh is a nice guy isn't he?", I thought to myself blushing slightly, "I wonder if we'll ever become closer friends.." I smile at the thought, it would be nice to make a friend wouldn't it? I hum a sweet melody as I grab my sketchpad and start quickly jotting down a new drawing in it. The reason I draw so much is because Dad wants me to become a skilled artist, he said it would help me open portals easier. Even though I'm already passionate about art, Dad wants me to push myself further.

I'm not complaining though, there are perks! I get a new sketchpad and different art supplies at the beginning of each month. Like last month I got a set of watercolors and a watercolor pad, the month before I got charcoals and pastels, this month I got paint pens and a calligraphy pen. It also has a downside though, sometimes I get an inadequate amount of sleep, or even don't sleep at all, because my productivity level raises when I become exhausted...

It's not like I can't handle it though!

Fresh's POV

That kid... I don't know what got into me, or even why I was thinking some weird thoughts when I was with him. I mean, he is absolutely adorable, but that's beside the point!
I don't know man...

~Next Day~

I teleport to school, and make it to class early, "Maybe I should get a drink?" I think to myself as I unconsciously stand up and walk to the vending machine. "What to get?", I ponder, "Maybe I should get Paper Jam something too?" He thanked me for the coffee at the park, then mentioned he wasn't a coffee drinker, so not coffee. He looks really tired quite often, maybe I'll get some tea. What should I get though? I can choose between green tea, white tea, black tea, and different fruit flavors... I'll get white tea, it seems like it's caffeinated enough.

I walk back to class, sit down and take a sip of my drink. Oh? The door is opening, I'm pretty early, I didn't think anyone would be here? It's Paper Jam! Sure enough, he has large circles under his eye sockets, he looked up and saw me, "Oh, hi Mr Fresh!", he spoke as a light raspberry color tinged his cheek bones. "Yo kiddo!", I replied as I got up to give him his tea.

Paper Jam's POV

Mr. Fresh just called me "Kiddo"? Heh~ I feel like I'm sleep walking... Oh! He got up... "Here, you always look like you don't get enough sleep, and since you don't like coffee, I thought I'd get you some tea?", he nervously said. Wow! White tea is my favorite!!! I look up at him, his face starts to turn a deep blue, he quickly looks away, "Here..." He gestured me to take it. "T-Thanks, Mr. Fresh~"

I'm so happy!
