Creed x Blake AU one shot

Third pov

It was a pleasant Saturday evening in the Portgas household. The sun was just starting to set, and the warmth of the last few hours had warmed the house right up, which made it toasty for the family of four. In the kitchen, Itami cooked dinner; mince, cheese & potato pie. Ace sat in the lounge, working & watching tv. Alice sat in her quiet room of ambience, studying hard for the trigonometry test that she has on Monday.

As for Creed? Well....he didn't feel so peaceful.

In his room upstairs, he sat on his bed, rapidly texting his long time crush, Moonlight D Blake. Yesterday was pretty eventful for him. His secret on her liking him was somehow found out. The people that exposed him did it at lunch time, where everyone was desperate for gossip, and other dirt. The people who exposed him often stirred shit up for him. So when they did this, for like HALF OF THE SCHOOL TO HEAR...WHILE BLAKE WAS PRESENT, had reaaaally enraged him. He can still remember the look on Blake's face. The look of realization. He knew that straight afterwards, she was gonna hate him forever. Back then, he didn't know what to do. His Mother had strictly told him to not get into fights, as it doesn't achieve anything. So he did what he knew he could do best: threaten them via blackmail.

As much as he wanted to beat the crap outta them, he respected his Mother, and didn't dare to oppose her. He hates disappointing her after all.

Anyway, Blake had suddenly texted him while he was looking at internet memes. He was so frightened. He's never been in a situation like this. But he knew that he had to go about this part on his own. The text that Blake sent, was this:

Blake: Hey, I've been worried sick about you, are you okay?

He swore to the heavens above that he has just been blessed. He immediately replied with:

Creed: Yeah, haha, I'm alright. Just...thinking

Blake:Thinking about Friday?

Creed:Yeah.
Creed: I'll admit now, I've been too scared to text you this past day.
Creed: I was worried that you'll push me away, and that we won't be friends again.

Blakey: You have nothing to worry about.

Creed:Really? 😯

Blake: Yeah haha I think its time I tell you the truth.

This was the moment where Creeds heart stops:

Blake: I...I actually feel the same way.
Blake: You're not gonna believe this, but I've been crushing on you for so long, it kinda hurts.
Blake: Yesterday when all that shit happened with those guys..I really did think that they were being horseshit about it all, and were trying to expose my feelings to you.
Blake: And then when I realized that you indeed had feelings for me, I was at first surprised, but in a good way. But then, I felt angry. Angry because those assholes were teasing you about it, and that they wouldn't let it go. I so badly wanted to punch them, you know.

Creed:You wanted to punch them?

Blake: Fuck yeah. I actually did punch them after school.

Creed: Wow

Blake: Haha yeah
Blake: But anyway....
Blake: How are you feeling?

Creed didn't exactly know what to say. He was surprised about it.

'She...likes me back? But why? There's plenty of other guys that are probably better than me. Most of the time, I can't even walks straight! I always fall asleep in class because of the damn narcolepsy, its super fucking embarrassing! And what normal person has a hair fetish! Like fuck I can't help it! Hair is pretty!'
