Lake Oneshots

Lake's Perspective

A/N

Pretty much this ship is dead (I guess?)

No one knows. No one knows who. No one knows why. No one knows where. No one knows nothing except yourself. I sighed to myself as I stared at them. They're happy, and that's what matters. Stop being so jealous and be happy or them. But I can't. Then you need to woman up and let it go. You'll never be like her. You're right, I can never be compared to someone like her. Who am I kidding?

I closed my eyes for a short period of time before opening them again and I still saw them. I just thought that if I maybe close my eyes really shut, it would blind me and I wouldn't see them. It didn't work. One day, Lake. It WILL work. For a minute, I felt my chest aching. It's my heart. It's begging for help, it's begging me to stop falling for someone who's already falling for someone else and, still, you'll love them no matter what. And that's what really hurts your heart. It breaks too often and it just struggles to put itself back together without its owner's help but only to end up going into a loop. That's the worst pain a lover can even feel.

But I have been feeling that pain a million times that I don't get affected that much.

"Lake," I heard a voice and turned around. It was my best friend. Aster. He and his other friend, Zain, were behind me. But I felt Aster's hand on my shoulder, slightly turning me around for me to face him. "You okay?"

"Of course I am," I lied with a smile. It always worked on other trolls. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"You're looking at them again." He said.

Correction: 'worked on MOST trolls'.

I shrugged his hand off my shoulder. "So?" I looked at him in the eyes. I used my charm to try to change the subject. And somehow, it wasn't working. How? Why? When? What? "I mean, I'm just looking at them. I'm watching them having a great time together! Doesn't it make you smile?" Yeah, sure. It did.

Aster slightly squinted his eyes and looked away. Then he looked at Zain and whispered something to him. Zain nodded and patted Aster's back. Aster walked back inside the pod. Zain slowly walked towards me. He's never been this close to me, ever. He used to be 10 inches away from me, but now he's 5 inches away from me. Back off, Zain. My heart's already occupied.

"So," he chuckled and stood beside me. We both looked at them for a minute. We were like stalkers, though, we weren't. (Kinda). "When are you actually gonna tell him?"

"Maybe..." I paused and took my time to think. I looked at him again. "-never." I mean, if I confessed to him now, it would just make things more dramatic and it'll affect their relationship. It could possibly break them up. I never want that to happen. It's for the sake of his happiness.

"Really now?" He looked at me, raising a brow.
"You're kidding," He said. He looked away again, focusing more on his surroundings than me. I shook my head and said,  "I'm not kidding. I'm being honest and serious."

"Oh," He said softly. His ears slumped down. It's a thing he does when he realizes something. Like how he realizes that somebody ate the last pizza in the fridge. Or like that one time when he realizes that most of the meat is made out of animals. Sweet and fragile Zain.
"Lake?"
"Yeah?" I said.
"Can I tell you something?"
"Sure,"

He took a deep breath and rubbed the back of his neck. He was almost sweating. I could tell because his face was shining.

"Remember that one time I owed you a favor?" He asked. I nodded my head. "Well, I'm here to return the favor."

"Really? And how?" I asked and tilted my head. The favor I did for him was to tell the cashier that I was the one who ate all the milk chocolate. But it was Zain who actually ate them all from the mall. So I paid for all of them afterwards.

He looked at me and sighed. He glanced at them again, then back at me. "I'll tell him for you."

You're dead, Lake.
