How My Heart Burns (Sketch x Reader)

Chapter 4 - Are We a Thing?

Kate's P.O.V.

Everyone has crowded around in the kitchen drinking coffee and laughing.  Y/N was right a home, talking and making friends with The Pals.  I was kinda quiet and found myself staring at Corl a lot.  He was cute and pretty funny, but I didn't know exactly what I wanted.  Y/N pulled me out of my daydreaming by asking me a question.

 "Right Kate?  I mean, it would be so much fun!"

 " Er, what?  Sorry, I'm just a little tired. "  I lie, though Y/N knows I am.  She saves me by not speaking up and says,

 "Elijah said that there was a carnival going on, we were thinking of going on Thursday.  It has a petting zoo, and a Ferris wheel, kinda like a state fair only smaller."

 " Sure!  That sounds amazing!  Carnivals, where we came from a few months back, were never that big, it sounds fun! " I see Corl standing off to the side, not really talking to anyone.  I'm about to go over when Denis speaks up.

 "So, if your Sketch and Ethan's editor, so you think you'd be interested in editing for all of us this month?  We'll be making a blog over everything we did and post it on the main channel, then we'll be doing normal gaming videos every day.  Wanna start with that stuff?" Y/ N is beaming and Elijah smiles at her, putting his arm around her shoulder.  She blushes but lets him speak.

" You trying to take away my editor?  She's better than you, that's for sure.  Y/N, you gonna take it? "

 "Of course Elijah!  If all of you really want me too!" Everyone in the room nods and I hug her.

 " Cool!  You'll be over like, every day!  You better not leave me alone! " I laugh and she playfully shoves me.

 "Kate, you can come over, you know," Corl says.  I let go of Y/ N and blush, then smile and tell him thanks.

" Man Corl, it's bizarre how quickly you can turn red!  Alex said, and Cork blushes even harder.  "You know, he's not always like this, Kate."

 " Hey uh, Y/N, I was Kia wondering if we could go home...? " I asked Y/N.  I was legitimately tired and figured talking to everyone would be easier after I got my head and thoughts straight.

 "Oh, sure Kate!  Sorry guys but, we're gonna run!" Y/ N always seems to know what to say, that's why we're friends.  We got each other.

 "Hey!  Eh... Can I talk to you before you go?" Elijah asked Y/ N morning towards the back porch.

"Oooooh!  Back porch she Sketch?" Sub said making kissy noises.

" Oh shush Sub! " Y/N said shoving him gently.  "Sure, Kate you don't mind, right?  We'll go as soon as we're down talking."

 "Of course!"  They left to go outside and even though I said it was fine, I felt pretty awkward.  I decided to sit down next to Corl, who was now on the couch in the living room.  Everyone has kinda split up, Sub and Ethan were still in the kitchen and Alex and Denis went to unpack.

 " Hey, Corl.  Watcha doing? "

Sketch P.O.V.

I led Y/N into the porch and say down on a chair, she sat next to me.

 "Is everything okay, Lijh?" She asked concerned.

 "Yeah, everything is fine!  I just wanted to talk to you... How do you like The Pals?"

 " Are you kidding?  They're awesome, and Cork sure knows how to win a girls heart! "  I stare shocked at her.  

 "Kate!  Kate!  I meant Kate!  Heh, heh..." She said blushing, " It's not like I like him, she does, I like someone else, I mean... I... " I smile and look into her beautiful (color) eyes.

 "You know what the real reason I brought you out here was for?" I ask her quietly.

" What? "

"I wanted to know... If you would want to go out with me today, for lunch?  I mean, you don't have to if you don't really want to I just -" I was stopped by the soft feeling of her hand in mine.  I smile at her and she just nods.  Caught up in the moment we both lean in towards each other... We close our eyes... and...

"Y/N!  Cork just asked me out!"  We both stood up at the sound of Kate.  I looked over at her and we just giggled kinda goofily, Kate was also blushing and pretending like she hadn't barged in on us.  The moment was over, but I was still happy, like something clicked inside of me, a spark.

"Well Kate, you're right on time!" Y /N said smiling at me.  I knew what she was thinking.
