A Good Friend (Puppet x Circus Baby)

Chapter 2: confession and comfort

Puppet was already nice and sound asleep. He was resting in a little hammock he found and surprisingly, it was strong enough to hold him, but then again, he was surprisingly light. He was calm and content in his own little dream world.

In dream land

Puppet was at a desk, drawing up sketches of plants and his friends. He then got up and looked at himself in the mirror. He enjoyed being his human self.
(Or at least what he imagines he would look like as a human)

He stepped outside, looking at a beautiful grassy plain. He had a big smile on his face as he ran through the grass and laughed. He stopped at a beautiful field of flowers and laid down. He closed his eyes and felt like he were floating in air. He enjoyed every moment feeling like this, but then he heard a giggle, a familiar one.

"You always were such a silly guy, weren't you," it was Circus Baby's voice.

He opened his eyes to see a girl similar to Circus Baby. Red hair, pigtails, green eyes, only difference is it was a more human version, sorta like him. He got up and stood in front of her. He was at least one or two inches taller than her.

She smiled and took his hand. He felt his cheeks go warm, but then he got and idea. He let go of the hand Circus Baby was holding and tapped her nose.

"You're it!" He broke into a sprint, trying to get as much space from him and her. He looked back to see her with a puzzled face before it turned into an ecstatic expression.

"Oh, now you're gonna get it!" She too, started running, causing Puppet to start sprinting again.

He felt like the grassy area would go on forever, which was okay with him. The two glanced at each other, causing their laughter to increase each time. They just loved spending time with each other.

Baby then pounced on Puppet, causing the two to start rolling down one of the mounds of grass. They eventually stopped rolling, Circus Baby was on top of Puppet and both were looking at each other. She then pointed out her index finger and...

"Boop! gotcha," she said, tapping his nose.

Puppet then burst into laughter. She couldn't help but join. After a few short minutes of laughter, Puppet got up and looked at her in the eyes. They felt themselves move closer together. Puppet cupped her cheek as they got closer and closer.

And then...

He woke up.

Puppet awoke to find himself a blushing mess. His cheeks felt so warm, he thought that if he were to try and touch them right now, it would burn. He felt his lips and they had a tingly sensation.

Did he actually dream about them kissing? And...he was okay with it? He needed to get his head out the clouds before-

"Hey Puppet," he heard Circus Baby call out, "are you in here?"

He got off his hammock and walked over, making sure that his footsteps would let her know he was there. He walked over to the light switch and turned it on. There was only two to four lights so the two stood underneath one of them.

"What're ya doing here?" He asked her.

"I, uh...I...I have a confession," she said, "remember when I was by the door when you did the knock knock joke?"

God, please don't tell me, he said to himself, "yeah?"

"I...oh, jeez...um, I might have...sort of...saw you," never has one sentence in his existence stabbed him in the heart that badly.

"Yo-you w-what?!" He yelled, feeling as if he were about to have a heart stroke.

"I should have knocked first. I'm so sorry about that, but I came here to ask," she looked at him and walked closer, "are you okay? How long has this been happening?"
