Love (Inanimate Insanity AU)

Chapter 2...

(Just a heads up! All the chapters would be pretty short!)

Baseball was still thinking about what Suitcase had said. He was having an argument with himself for what he could do.

'Maybe you could just tell him?'

No, I can't be that flat out.

'Maybe right him a note?'

No, that cheesier the Cheesy.

'Maybe ask someone to ask for you?'

Are you insane? They already make fun of my weight, that'll give anyone something funnier so laugh about!

'You can't keep your emotions bottled up inside you like this.'

...

Baseball groaned again in his arms. What if he really doesn't love him? Baseball shook his head, breathing in and out. He decided he'd finally tell him. Who knows? Maybe Nickel liked him back? Maybe he actually had the same feeling for him? Baseball smiled to himself with that wonderful idea. Who knows, maybe he was right!

Baseball started to call Nickel, blushing a little as he remembered what he'd do. When He hear Nickel pick up, he held his breath. "Hey Baseball!" Nickel said threw laughter. Baseball wondered for a second why Nickel was laughing, but he didn't have time for that.

 "H-Hey, Nickel!" Baseball said trying to keep a straight face. "N-Nickel, there's something I-I really need to tell you...." Baseball trailed off. "Um...Okay, what is it?" Nickel said, back to his usual tone. "I'm just dying to know." "W-Well, I, um...wanted to tell you." Baseballs was mentally panicking, thinking about what might go wrong, how this situation could turn to the worst.

"...I was wondering if I could meet up with you, you know?"

 Baseball was biting the inside of his cheek, thinking about what he said. It took a few moments, but Nickel responded. "Um, sure. I'm at the park." "Yeah, okay, bye!" Baseball hung up the phone fast. He groaned at the action he did. "So close..." Baseball mumbled to himself.

As Baseball walked to the park, he saw his familiar small friend, only this time, he saw someone. Someone who Nickel hated. Someone who probably was afraid of nickel.

Balloon.

Baseball felt a pit in his stomach. He started to walk slower, eyeing Balloon down. Neither of them noticed him glaring daggers at Balloon. Baseball felt a sudden rage. How can Balloon, the person who nickel clearly hated, got the chance to talk to him. Nickel didn't even seem that mad about it. Of course, there wasn't any sign of emotion on his face, he was just listening.

Baseball bit the inside of his cheek again before putting a fake smile on his face. "Hey Nickel! Hey... Balloon." Baseball said Balloons name threw gritted teeth, still having the smile on his face. "Oh, hey Baseball." Balloon said, smiling. Baseball couldn't really understand it, but he felt hate towards Balloon. I mean, they guy wasn't doing anything wrong, but baseball just felt anger.

"So, Balloon...Why are you here?" Baseball said, looking at him. "Oh, Suitcase wanted me to become friends with Nickel-" He pointed at nickel, "-So, we started to chat with each other. "Yeah, yeah, he's such a delight." Nickel rolled his eyes, "But, He was kinda fun to talk too."
"O-Oh." Baseball said shaky, "That's just great to hear!" Baseball was nearly sarcastic.

"So Baseball, why did you wanna come and see me?" Nickel ask. "Oh...I-I just wanted to talk" Baseball said, still smiling. "Alright." Nickel answered.

Nickel and Baseball were mostly taking, but Balloon kept butting in. Nickel didn't really seem to mind surprisingly, but Baseball was. But eventually, Balloon started to look to the side. "U-Um, guys.. I need to go for a second." Balloon started to walk to a tree, going behind it. Baseball squinted. It looked like he was talking to someone, but he didn't know who. "Um, Baseball, I think we came hear to chat, not creep." Nickel said, looking at Baseball. "S-Sorry."

As Baseball and Nickel started to talk again, one of the boys laughing hear and there, Balloon came back with a very sad expression. "Umm... guys I have to go." Balloon's tone was a mix between panicked and sad. "I'll see you guys later..." As balloon started to walk off, Baseball looked a little closer to the tree. He saw a girl with black hair tip toeing away. I tilted my head, mumbling:

"Is that Microphone?"

"Um, Nickel, I need to go."  Baseball said, sitting up. "Well okay, see you later." Nickel said, getting up as well. He started to walk away. When Nickel was out of sight, Baseball ran up to Microphone. "Microphone!" Baseball yelled, looking at her. "AugAHHH!" Microphone yelled, turning to face baseball. "Baseball! I-I was doing nothing, haha! I was just um-" Baseball silenced her.

"What ever you're doing, don't stop it." Baseball said. Microphone seemed very surprised. "I won't tell anyone, just keep on doing what you're doing." Microphone nodded, walking backwards. "This. Never. Happened." She said, turning back, and ran. Baseball smiled. Whatever she was saying to Balloon kept him away from Nickel, so that was the only good part. He started to walk back, a smile stretching across his face.

...

A small girl was up in a tree near the, looking at Baseball. She hummed a little, nodding. "Well baseball, I never knew you struck me as that type." She said, smiling. She got a device and said, "Microphone, like baseball said, don't stop." and waited for her response.

"Okay, Taco."
