Deception [SkepHalo] *discontinued*

Used a base for the fanart above. I just added the designs, lined and coloured it.

(Credits to kohie5639, found the base on Pinterest but still can't find her anywhere)

UWU song dedicated to all of you!!! :)

I love these two soft boys with all my heart... AHHH.

From Zak's perspective.

"Don't you hate me?" He paused.

"Literally four days went by... Did you really think I could hate you just like that?"

What Darryl didn't understand was that feelings don't exactly just disappear after four days.

I spent every single day lying aimlessly in bed, feeling empty and then falling asleep. Sometimes I'd wake up only just to eat enough to shut my stomach up.

Rinse and repeat that a few times, and you've got what I did during the whole of my past week.

"I thought you weren't going to talk to me anymore when you didn't answer my calls."

"Sorry. I just knew I would spit out something mean to you if I did, so I didn't." I told him.

"No, I totally understand. I'm the one who should be sorry for being such a.. numpty muffin."

He really was. Every word he said to me that day hit me straight in the face. But I still forgived him for it- what else could I do?

"If you're still thinking about what you said, it's okay if you think of me as just a best friend. There's really nothing wrong with it. I just kinda.. overreacted at the time."

We shared another long pause. It was quickly followed by a soft groan, as if he still had something on his mind.

"You okay there, buddy?"

Then, all at once, he called my name audaciously, as if he'd forgotten just how uptight he was a minute ago.

"Zak. If I'm being honest with you, I might have thought about it... being more than best friends, I mean."

I almost choked after hearing those words come out of his mouth.

"Come again?"

He cleared his throat.

"Do you want to give it a try?"

He's asking me? Wasn't this guy crying three minutes ago, worried that I might've hated him?

I was in love with him. L-O-V-E. And he knew all too well about it.

"You're not kidding about this, are you?"

"I know what I'm saying, Zak. I'm saying that I don't mind trying it out."

"You're seriously okay with.. me?"

"Yes, I am. What about it, fatty?"

"Well, then ask me out properly!" I demanded jokingly.

"Will you be my-"

"Girlfriend?" I said in the goofy tone I used when I was pranking someone.

He knew I was kidding around. I could picture him getting just a little mad about being taunted by me, yet again.

We both thought that we wouldn't be talking to each other four days ago, but look at us now, flirting like idiots.

"Seriously? Now you're kidding around?" He asked with a teeny bit of frustration in his voice.

I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear because of how easy it was to tick him off. He was such a dork.

"Ask me again." I said.

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Yes."

We had a long talk with each other afterwards, going on about ourselves. Though it was mostly Darryl who kept on rambling about how he didn't understand me at all, or just the most minute of things. I just listened.

"You're so different from the way you speak online."

"How so?"

"Hm, like how you're way louder online than you actually are in real life?"

"It's not like I wanna shout all the time."

"That's fine. I think like you better this way."

Staying with each other on the phone, we kept ourselves up until 4AM in the morning.

Darryl finally let out a yawn. Unlike him, I was too used to being unable to sleep all the time, so I was pretty much still wide awake.

"You're tired already?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I think I'm gonna head to sleep first."

"Want me to end the call?"

"No..?" He dragged his voice, trying to seem cute.

There it was, that adorable facade he would put on all of a sudden. But he couldn't get me this time because I came prepared.

"Too bad, I'm gonna end it! Good night."

"Aww... Where's my goodnight kiss? Just kidding."

I blew a kiss into the microphone.

"Woah. I didn't expect you to do that."

Yeah, I didn't expect myself to either. Now I seem like I'm the one with problems.

"Shut up! Go to sleep, you pinecone."

"I will, you go get some rest too, okay?"

"Mhm. Bye."

"B-"

I ended the call before he could even respond.

Let me just get whatever happened into my head again-- yeah, I couldn't believe it.

We were dating.
