[ Crush Culture. ] 🐞 [ A Nickloon Story ]

Nickel hates the hotel. And he hated the competition. He hated his teammates and he hated Suitcase for doing what she did, he hated the challenges and he hated MePhone4. And he especially hated Balloon. His annoying, high pitched voice, and how he feels so entitled to being salmon-colored or whatever. And all that keeps Nickel from spiraling is a chance to tease Balloon sometimes. And that's how it is.

Or how it was, until Nickel saw Balloon's room door open. Until he saw Balloon crying on the floor, holding a pillow close. Until he read the letters Balloon had splayed out on the carpet. Until big, dumb, stupid Balloon finally leaned on his shoulder and he felt his chest melt.
