Stampys POV

Is quickly walked off after I said that. Ugh! How could that just slip out of my mouth! I was meant to keep that a secret for the rest of my life! Why? I kicked a tree, hurting my left leg slightly. Ever since I first saw Squids face on YouTube I instantly got a huge crush on him, and then when I met him in person at the minecraft convention thing, I got an even bigger crush. Why did I have to have a crush on him? Why couldn't I just...Just forget about it? Now whenever I see him it's gonna make things even more awkward.

I walked into the little woods/cobblestone house that me and Squid built and slammed the door loudly, making Pearl bolt upwards. When she saw it was me she laid back down again, probably relived that it wasn't HitTheTarget of a gogglie. By the way, it tuned out that when I 'killed' HitTheTarget, I didn't really do anything to him. According to Pearl, he can only die if the person killing him was or had held the Enderdragon egg. At least I managed to save Squid...

"What's wrong?" Pearl asked, sitting down next to me bed. It was only then I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks.

"I...Today...I confessed my love for somebody..." I murmured, hoping that she wouldn't hear and I could just dismiss it. Unluckily, she heard every single wretched word of that sentence.

"Was it Squid? I know it's a bit strange, considering you two are both the same gender, but honestly, I don't care. As long as you're happy, I'm fine." She replied. I couldn't help my smile though my tears. Pearl was so sweet and kind...It just makes the fact that HitTheTarget tried to capture her more upsetting.

At that moment Squid himself opened the door. I automatically avoided eye contact with him, out of fear that he would either shout at me, or beat me up. He has almost broke my jaw before when he was drunk. But...But I knew that was a complete accident. It had to be! He opened up one of the chests, dumped all his stuff in it, walked over to me, and sat on the end of my bed. My eyes still stayed glued to the red covers of the bed.

"Stampy...About what you said." No! Please let him be talking about something else! My heart felt like it was coming out of my mouth, yet I did my best to keep my breathing under control. "Is it true? Do you actually have a crush on me?" I nodded slowly, pulling my knees up to my chest and burying my head in them. Without any reason whatsoever I started sobbing silently. "Stamps?" I felt an arm wrap around me and a few seconds later, the feel of somebody's body next to mine. I dared to glance up slightly. Squids light blue eyes met mine.

"I'm sorry Squid...I just had to say it. I-I-I-I've had it ever since the first day I met you! And-And I knew it was stupid, and that you were probably straight...But still!" I stuttered, blushing hard. There was no point in saying anything else. Hopefully he would forget it by tomorrow...I really hoped it did. I didn't want to spoil the friend only friendship that we had. All of our subscribers knew we were just friends, and kinda stood up for us whenever somebody said that we were dating or whatever. If we ever did see a comment like that we would just laugh it off.

"There's no need to be sorry Stamps. Really..." He paused for a minute, as if to say something, but it looked like he ignored it. "We need to kill this HitTheTarget. The only reason he tried to kill me back then was because somebody stole if journal." I could sense him staring down at me. No...Why didn't I tell him as soon as I got it? He's gonna be extra, extra mad now.

"You can read it if you want..." I said quietly, handing him the book. He took it and opened it up. As Squid read it I could tell what parts he was up to by his facial expression. I couldn't help but feel terrible. After a few minutes, I climbed off the bed and walked outside, into the small garden area Pearl made. It just consisted of a few trees inside of a small fenced off area but it was something. I sat down on one of the chair/stairs and stared out into the nearby swamp biome. The cold breeze was probably giving me a cold but I didn't really care. I just had to be away from Squid for a few minutes, just to calm myself down after telling him. Why did I think it was a good idea?

At that moment, Squid himself came into our small garden, and sat down next to me. It felt as if my whole body was turning red I was that nervous. I dared to glance over at him, but I quickly turned away when we made eye contact. Maybe a bit to fast...A loud click came out of the side of my neck, making a small jolt of pain go though my collarbone. I lost 4 hearts because of it.

"Stamps?" Squid said placing his hand on my shoulder. I tried my best to keep my breathing steady.

"Yes?" I replied, almost in a complete whisper.

"Why did you feel bad? When you told me?" My heart felt as if it stopped. My next few words was probably going to decide my whole future. If my explanation was good, then he would probably just laugh it off and we could go back to the just friends stage. However, if they were bad, he would hate me forever.

"I thought that you would judge me...And that you wouldn't wanna be around me anymore..." I murmured. Squid chucked slightly, putting his arm around the whole of my shoulder.

"Well you shouldn't...If....I'm gonna be honest now..." He took a long, deep breath. "I kinda had a crush on you...Since we first met..." W-What? Squid...Squid and I shared the same feelings for each other? I couldn't help but stare at him, wondering how he could've got a crush on ME, of all people. There were plenty of other people out there that were more good-looking than me! I could feel my face turning a bright, fluorescent red. This...All of this was...Crazy!

"Oh..." I said blankly. If I were to he honest myself, I didn't really want to go into a serious relationship with him at the moment. All I wanted to do was kill HitTheTarget and go back to our world...Then we'll talk about moving in together and all that romantic stuff.

Squids POV

About halfway though the first entry, Stampy walked out of the door and into the garden. Jeez...I felt terrible. When he confused his...His LOVE....For me...He just stormed off. Why didn't I chase after him and confess my love for him as well? Then he wouldn't have felt bad. When I did mange to get home, he was sitting on the bed, angry crying. I did wrap my arm around him to calm him down but I think that just made things worse.

Sighing, I stood up and traced his footsteps outside. A shiver flew down my spine. It was extremely cold. Stampy was sitting on one of the stairs which we said was a block, staring out into the blocky horizon. Gently, I placed myself next to him. Without even touching me I could sense his body was tensing up. I just kept looking at him, just wanting to blurt it out...Just wanting to stop his feelings of guilt. At that moment he turned to face me, his eyes meeting mine. I opened my mouth just to say the 3 words, 'I love you', but he turned away before I could, so fast in fact that his neck clicked when he did so.

"Stamps?" I mumbled, twiddling my thumbs. "Why did you feel bad...When-When you told me?" He paused for a very long time. I could see panic filling up his face, not only that, but his whole body was shaking. Ugh, I felt terrible for him.

"I thought that you would judge me...And you wouldn't wanna be around me anymore..." He blurted out. A single tear slithered down the side of his face, quickly followed by two more. Damn...Did he really think I would judge him? Even if I didn't like him in that way I still wouldn't judge him! I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and opened my mouth. This was it...This was when the truth came out.

"Well you shouldn't...I'm...I'm gonna be honest now...I kinda have a crush on you too..." As soon as I finished that sentence I felt as if an entire house had been removed from my chest. Stampy turned to face me for the second time, not even bothering to look away now. A small smile appeared on his face, making a weird tingling feeling run down my spine. He gently rested his head on my shoulder, his hair tickling my face.

After a few moments of sitting like this, he lifted his head ever so slightly and gave me the smallest kiss on my cheek. I couldn't help but go bright red. Our eyes met again for what seemed like forever. Before I knew it he was fast asleep on my shoulder. He actually looked kinda cute when he was asleep....He didn't looked scared, or worried, or he didn't care that we were trapped in freaking Minecraft...Stampy looked peaceful. Jeez...I couldn't wait until we defeated this HitTheTarget, so every single day for the rest of our lives we could do this.
