Zak's POV

I narrowly missed a conversation I didn't want to have with Darryl. Not yet at least. For now, I have to keep whatever I'm feeling a secret.

----------------------------------------

I get off my bed a couple hours later feeling tired. I need to fix my sleep schedule someday.

I walk into the kitchen half expecting Darryl to be in there making something for lunch, but he wasn't. That's strange. Maybe he just didn't feel like cooking after talking to me.

I still wanted to check on him though, so I walked to his room and knocked on the door. No answer. I knock again.

"Darryl?" I shout through the door. Still nothing?

I opened the door and he wasn't there. Oh. He's literally not even here. I feel extremely stupid.

I check my phone and there were two messages.

Darryl: Hey you muffin, I'm getting lunch for us.
Darryl: Don't know if you're still alive but I'll be back soon.

He's so thoughtful

Darryl got back home about 10 minutes later with McDonald's in his hands.

"Thanks!" I say, glad I'd finally be able to have food in my system.

"O-oh it's nothing, Zak." He replied. He looked like he was going to say something but closed his mouth.

"Did you want to say something?" I questioned.

"Actually, yeah." My heart pounded hoping it didn't have to do with earlier.

"I got you this." He laughed while handing me a plushy muffin.

My heart started pounding for a different reason and a blush flew across my face. He got me a gift. He's so cute!

——————————————

Darryl's POV
I gave him the muffin and his face lit up with joy.

"Do you like it?" I asked. I hope he likes it. What if he doesn't like it?

"Are you giving me a gift because you liiiikkeee meee?" He joked.

"W-What? NO!" I could feel my face turning bright red.

"Y-you don't like me?" He whined.

"What! T-that's not what I m-meant!"

"Tell me you like me then!"

"N-no!" I felt my face burn even more.

He started to cry and I couldn't handle it.

"OK OK I LIKE YOU!" I burst out. I realized that it wasn't a lie. I did like him. So much.

He burst out in laughter and almost fell out of his chair.

Ouch.

"I GOT YOU TO SAY IT AHAHAHA" He taunted.

I didn't laugh. I kind of wanted to cry. He would never like me the same way. What was I thinking?

Zak stopped laughing. "Darryl? Are you ok?" I could feel his stare.

"Yeah. You're just a muffin." I smiled, but I felt like running away and crying like a child. I felt rejected.

He held up his little muffin toy I got him.

"Thank you, seriously. I love it."

(I spent a while going between a sad scene- don't ask how I would've made it sad, I don't know either -and something like this one. I hope you enjoyed it! Comment any ideas you might have to continue this series!)
