Hey Dex

dizzneeworld:
hi!!

chandelierlover:
I need to talk to you
Can I call?

dizzneeworld:
umm
yeah sure give me one sec

Fitz's imparter screen lit up, Dex's username in the middle of the screen. He accepted the call, twirling the end of his cape around his fingers nervously.

"Hey, What's up? What did you need to talk about." Dex's voice was soft as he questioned Fitz.

Fitz's hand shook. Was he really about to do this?

Earlier this morning, Fitz had talked to Biana. He had a crush of Dex. A big crush. Biana gave him advice and told him to confess, which led him to where he was now.

Fitz took a deep breath before starting, "I... I like you." Fitz said, his voice shaky.

Dex giggled a little. "Well I like you too. Was that all?" He didn't seem to understand what Fitz really meant.

He shook his head, despite the fact that Dex couldn't see him, and tried again. "No. I mean I like like you. As in I want to hold your hand, and cuddle, and... kiss." Fitz blushed a bright red, his heart pounding in his ears.

Dex didn't respond, causing panic to stir up in the pit if his stomach. He knew he shouldn't have confessed. He should have kept his mouth shut and left things as they were. He had been content with their friendship, and now he ruined everything.

His thoughts were cut off when Dex spoke up. "Do you mean it?" He asked, "You're not messing with me are you?"

Dex sounded like he was about to cry, his voice quivering. Fitz panicked, standing from his spot on his bed.

"Dex! Are you okay!" He sniffled in response, making Fitz's heart break.

"I- I can't handle you messing with me like that." Fitz scrambled for his boots, throwing them on quickly.

"Dex, I'm leaping over to you. Give me a minute." Before Dex could argue he hung up the imparter, running to the leapmaster down stairs.

When he arrived at Rimeshire he knocked on the door harshly. The door opened, Dex standing behind it with a tear stained face.

Fitz pushed it open further, pulling Dex into a tight hug. He gasped, arms pinned to his sides.

"Dex, I would never, EVER, play with your feelings. I like you. A lot." Dex lifted his arms slightly, hugging Fitz back.

He nodded against his shoulder, his tears slowly stopping.

"I like you too."
