secrets (Otis x Olympia)

It was a sunny summer day, and Olympia and Otis were in the park, having fun and talking about anything and everything.

Ms O had let them have the day off, so Olympia insisted that she and Otis go do something fun. And the park was what they decided on.

They were currently swinging on the swings.... well, it was more like Olympia swinging on the swings while Otis just sat on a swing, listening to Olympia nearly talk his ear off. Not that he minded at all though.

He liked hearing Olympia talk.

"Sooooooooo, that's why I like bubblegum ice cream." Olympia said, finishing up her explanation on why her favorite ice cream flavor was her favorite.

"What's your favorite ice cream flavor?" Olympia asked Otis, pausing her swinging and smiling over at him.

"Pistachio." Otis replied simply.

Olympia smiled. She loved learning new things about her partner and best friend, Otis. She began swinging on the swings again.

Otis couldn't help but sort of stare at her. He didn't mean to be creepy or anything, but he just thought Olympia looked so cute. Especially when she was smiling, which was quite often.

He had to admit, he was sorta crushing on his partner. 'Sorta' meaning completely and totally.

But was he planning on telling her that? No. Absolutely not. He couldn't! They were best friends and Otis didn't wanna ruin that.

That was one secret that was gonna stay a secret.

Or at least, he thought it would....

"Otis, look!" Olympia said.

"Huh?" Otis replied, snapping out of his thoughts.

"An ice cream cart!" Olympia exclaimed, jumping off of the swing and running towards said cart.

"Come on, Otis, let's get some ice cream!" she called over her shoulder, giggling a bit.

Otis laughed a bit and shook his head slightly as he got up and followed Olympia.

"Hi, I'm Olympia, and this is my best friend, Otis." Olympia greeted the ice cream maker lady.

"Hello kids, what would you like?" the lady cheerfully asked.

"I'd like a bubblegum flavored ice cream cone!" Olympia happily stated "And my friend, Otis will take pistachio flavor." she added.

Otis payed for the ice cream, even though Olympia told him that she could pay for her own.

"Here you go. One bubblegum, and one pistachio." the lady said, handing them their sweet treats.

"Thank you." Olympia and Otis said in unison, before walking back toward the swings.

"Thanks. For paying for the ice cream." Olympia said to Otis, as they both sat on the swings to eat their dessert.

"No problem, partner." Otis replied. He thought it was the least he could do since she makes him so happy all the time.

"I make you happy?" Olympia asked excitedly, smiling brightly.

Otis' face turned crimson as he realized that he had said that out loud!

"Uh.... y-yeah. Of course you do." Otis stammered out, his cheeks heating up even more.

Olympia smiled even wider, a faint blush appearing on her own cheeks.

"Thanks, partner. You make me happy too." she said, saying the last part quieter than ever, but Otis still heard it clearly.

Just then, Otis' badge phone rang. And boy was he glad about that. It was becoming quite awkward talking about his feelings.

"Hello?" Otis said into the phone.

"Hey Otis, it's Oona. How's your date going?" Oona asked over the phone.

"W-what?" Otis replied, nervously "It's not a da-" he paused when he realized that Olympia was still sitting there.

"Uh, it's going good, Oona. Anything else?" Otis said, trying to change the subject.

"Did you tell her you like her yet?!" Oona questioned, rather loudly.

Otis blushed when Olympia looked over at him with wide eyes.

Did she hear what Oona just said?!

"Oona.... you're a little loud...." Otis trailed off, trying to keep his composure.

"Oops sorry! I'll call back later, ok! Byeeeeee!" Oona replied. And with that, she hung up the phone.

Otis sighed and looked at Olympia, who was now staring down at her melting ice cream.

There was an awkward silence for a while until Otis finally spoke.

"Olympia...." he started. Maybe she hadn't heard what Oona said.

Olympia looked up at him expectantly with the tiniest bit of excitement in her eyes.

Yup. She definitely heard what Oona had said.

"I- I.... how much of that did you hear....?" Otis asked nervously.

Olympia couldn't hold back her smile any longer as she replied "I like you too, Otis."

Otis sighed in relief as he couldn't help but crack a smile himself.

"Really?" he asked

"Really, really." Olympia replied.

Otis would have to thank Oona later, since he probably wouldn't have had the guts to tell Olympia that himself.

Maybe some secrets were meant to be told.
