Chapter 24

"Why do I get the feeling that we're more than just friends with benifits?" Sweet Pea asked his smile faltering. "I don't know" Fangs shrugged upset as he looked at the grass. "You don't actually like me? Right?" Sweet Pea asked his eyes gazing at Fangs. "I-I don't know, look at me. Is there any sign that shows that I want to date you" Fangs asked hurt.

Sweet Pea looked at his best friend up and down looking for signs. "It's been 14 years you know" Fangs spoke "I know-"

Fangs grew maroon "do you though? Do you know? How many times have I been there to save YOU, Sweet Pea. So many times, and you know why? Because I care about you more than you can see. Why can't you see it?" Fangs asked his voice wavering as he looked away, he sniffled angry tears blazing with in his eyes as they slowly went down his face. 

"I've tried to be there for you but you push me away Fangs" Sweet Pea argued "never once did you ask me if I was okay. You assumed it Sweet Pea, you assumed that deep down I wouldn't like you" Fangs spat.

"It's hard to know when someone close to you has feelings for you" Sweet Pea defended. "Bull Crap Sweet Pea, have you ever wanted so badly to be with someone that it makes you do stupid things to get recognized! No, because while I'm trying to contain my feeling towards you, you go out with Betty, Josie, and even Toni!" Fangs threw his hands out

"So what? Why is who I date your problem loshijo de puta" Sweet Pea growled. "Because I like you!" Fangs shouted "You're nothing more than a lost puppy" Sweet Pea seethed. "And you're the dickhead who is blind to what is real" Fangs hissed.

"At least I know what's real" Sweet Pea remarked rudely. "You asshole" Fangs shouted tackling Sweet Pea to the ground. Punch after punch Fangs sat on Sweet Pea as he punched the boy. Sweet Pea growled before pushing Fangs off of him and to the side.

"You messed with the wrong Serpent Fangs Fogarty" Sweet Pea warned before blow after blow hitting Fangs until his skin was a light purple. Fangs formed his mouth in an O shape before spitting at Sweet Pea. Spit lodged into the taller boy's eyeball. Sweet Pea stumbled for a moment before puching Fangs again.

Fangs wiggled his body beneath Sweet Pea. His knee hitting Sweet Pea in the crotch at a high velocity. Sweet Pea fell to the ground with a hiss of pain. Fangs scurried to his feet before repeatedly kicking Sweet Pea in the ribs.

Sweet Pea placed his hands in his pockets "giving up so soon Pea?" Fangs laughed viciously "you wish" Sweet Pea replied his brass knuckles connected with Fangs' leg, then his face as Sweet Pea rose to his feet. "You were always the best role model you know" Fangs smirked before pulling his pocket knife from his back pocket.

*Trigger Warning*

"Me? Sweet Pea? Afraid of a pocket knife. Oh no" Sweet Pea shrieked his voice sarcastic. Fangs ripped Sweet Pea's shirts and jacket off before pressing the sharp object to Sweet Pea's abdomen "one wrong word and" Fangs mimicked cutting Sweet Pea.

"Calm down" Sweet Pea growled trying to grab the knife from Fangs. Fangs swiped it in the air before it's shiny gray metal was covered in a dark red.

"You cut me" Sweet Pea said in disbelief his neck bleeding with the red blood trickling down. Fangs stood still not knowing whether to be mad at Sweet Pea or panicked that his best friend of now 14 years was bleeding to death in front of him.

"Sweet Pea I-I didn't mean to!" Fangs panicked tears emerged in his eyes as he held his hand over the gash on Sweet Pea's neck. Sweet Pea used all of his force to push the smaller boy away.

"Don't ever talk to me again" Sweet Pea choked as he grabbed his shirt, flannel and Serpent jacket before walking away.
