Baldo~Thinking out loud~

Chapter 2 // Halfway There

Barry POV

   I woke up suddenly. Naldo liked me? I knew I was bad with social situations, but I didn't think it would go this far. I rubbed my head sleepily. I couldn't understand it. But the more  I thought the more different I felt.

   Because I now had some sort of a link to Ronaldo's Brain I was able to feel things I had never thought about before. Him.

   I didn't know how or why or anything about it but just see how do you made me feel comfortable. Content with my life. I don't know how or what or anything.

Naldo POV

I lied down against my bed. Once I had gotten a certain distance from Barry I stopped being able to hear his thoughts. I assumed that he was not able to hear mine, so my mind went wild.

I lied on my back eyes closed imagining only if I could tell Barry. I knew I probably shouldn't, he would think I am worthless. I fell asleep, just like that.

The next morning I woke to the familiar sound of my alarm clock. Thank goodness it was summer vacation. I don't think I would be able to deal with this at school. I walked towards the RV, ready to help the love of my life try to fix us.

Barry POV

"Love of his life?" I said out loud. It made my heart skip a beat. I suddenly realized I would need to restrain myself from thinking like this while he was near me.

I wanted to be able to talk to him about it. I was still figuring out my feelings, but as soon as he stepped into the RV with his cute little hat, and the adorable smile he always wore, I knew.

I loved him back. I was blind before.

Then I thought maybe if I told him I liked him then he wouldn't know.

"Morning Barry, you look good today." He said. I heard his thoughts for the first time that day.

"More than good... stunning..." I heard. I thought, so do you, and his cheeks flushed.

"So have you found the solution?" He asked, looking at the beaker beside me.

"Well, remember that time Chet and Bret switched bodies?" I said.

"Yeah. Whatcha thinking?..." He asked nervously.

"Well, if we do that with this formula, then we don't have to worry as much, so it should take the stress out." I informed.

"So I would be in your body?" He asked, shyly yet excited.

"Just for one night. By tomorrow I should have it figured out." I said in a scientific tone.

   "Then what are we waiting for?" He asked, picking up his beaker. We tapped ours together as to say 'Cheers!' And chugged the liquid.

   I woke up on the floor a few minutes later.

Naldo POV

   I looked at my body. Barry was in me. It made me feel odd. Then I remembered, I was in the body of a adorable scientist I had fallen in love with.

   "Naldo? Are you alright?" He asked concerned. I smiled.

   "I feel great!" I cheered. I had always wondered things about Barry. Now I had all night to figure them out.

Barry POV

   I was a little worried about what Ronaldo would do in my body. It's not that I don't trust him. I honestly don't trust myself in his body. I definitely had temptations, but couldn't couldn't betray him like that.

I began to mix chemicals once again, trying to find a balance between neutrons, protons, and atoms that I needed. I looked back at my body, seeing a smile wider than I thought was possible.

Maybe all things happen for reason.
