Falling for you

Chapter 1: confession

Yaya and Boboiboy were paired up for a week long mission to disguise themselves and gather information about this power sphera, and if they're lucky enough, it's whereabouts as well.

The two of them are currently packing with fang and ying helping, while their friend Gopal is only complaining about their food stock.

"Aieesh why are your food stock so low?!? This isn't enough to last a day!"
Gopal complained worrying about his poor friend's stomach.

"Hmm, maybe for you. Yaya and Boboiboy are the ones going on this mission, not you." Ying sighed at her friend. Why does he always think of food? Well, at least he's worried about his friends.

"Haiyah that's the problem! With me, there's infinite food that could last us years, but without me they'll be starving on day 2! I don't even know why admiral didn't want me to come along." The four deadpanned at their friend, "Hey, weren't you the one who didn't wanna go on this mission Gopal?" Gopal guiltily laughed at boboiboy who continued to pack his things.

"Hey fang, why can't you go with them?" Fang sighed, his friend clearly didn't listen earlier when the admiral explained the details of the mission.
Fang sighed and answered,

" I can't, remember? I still have my undercover mission on planet sythermia."

Gopal then nodded and looked at ying, "I can't as well, I'm supposed to be their backup if anything goes wrong, and I'm also supposed to retrieve and analyze any information Yaya sends me." Ying stated before Gopal could say anything.

Yaya who was currently deep in thought was snapped back to reality when ying snapped her fingers in front of her face.

"Huh?" Yaya too deep in thought, never noticed her best friend calling her.

"Are you okay Yaya? I've been calling your name for a while now and you didn't respond."Ying says with obvious concern plastered on her face. Yaya smiles nervously.

"I'm okay ying, I was just deep in thought, anyway, what did you tell me?" Ying eyes her skeptically. "I said that I'm done helping you pack, you've packed everything already, but seriously though are you sure you're okay?" Yaya nervously laughed it off,

"Why wouldn't I be okay?"

"Hm.. if you say so.. well, get ready for bed, you guys are going at exactly 7:30 am sharp. Oh, and the guys already left." Ying reminded her friend while taking off her glasses to get ready for bed.

"You sound like my mom."

"Well someone has to worry about you."

"Hehe"

"Night yaya." "Night ying!" Yaya replied. In truth she wasn't okay at all, she was gonna have to confess sooner or later.

Feeling thirsty all of a sudden, Yaya quietly leaves their room hoping to not wake her best friend up. She immediately takes a cup of water from the kitchen and continued to walk through the empty hallways leading to their room. Before she could walk any further she stopped to admire the stars in the galaxy.

"How beautiful" she quietly murmurs.

"They really are." A person with a familiar voice speaks beside her.

Not expecting anyone to hear, she quietly yelped in surprise.

"Shhh, we don't wanna wake the others up do we?" The person then went beside her.

She knew who the person was just by their voice, she knew him all too well.

"Mind if I join you?" Boboiboy asked her. Yaya hummed and replied, "You ask as if I'm some kind of royalty but no, I don't mind."

Boboiboy let out a quiet laugh, "what if you are?" "Then you'll have to keep  on dreaming." She smiled in reply.

They stood in a comfortable silence, how much time has gone by? Neither knows but one thing for sure is that it was now or never for our Yaya.

"...hey"

"Hm?"

"I have something to tell you..."

"Yeah? What is it?"

Yaya took a deep breath.

"I-I've liked you for the longest time.."

"Oh really? I like you too!"

She sighed, this was gonna be heartbreaking for her but she had to say it sooner or later.

"N-not like that.... Actually, I've liked you in a more...romantic way, I've liked you since we were kids but it was most likely just a simple crush. I thought it would go away, and it did, but it came back stronger than ever and each day I find myself falling more and more, an-and, I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to confess and now I'm really regretting it because this could be the reason why our friendship would crash since I know from the looks you give me and how you treat me is that you see me as a friend and nothing more but I hope even after this you could still call me a friend without things being awkward between us."

Yaya could feel her heartbeat raising anxiously, she was okay with rejection even though it hurts but their friendship breaking because of her hurts more than she could ever think of.

Boboiboy was speechless, he couldn't process anything and when he did he regretfully looked at her. She knew that look, his eyes filled with guilt. She braced herself for rejection.

"Y-Yaya I-... I'm sorry.. I only think of you as a friend and I wouldn't wanna lie to you. I think you deserve someone who will love you for who you are and not me who will only see you as a friend.."

And with those words her heart felt like getting stabbed by a thousand needles. She underestimated heartbreak huh. With tears threatening to spill out, her eyes glistening under the stars. She finally turned her head to look at him and with that she smiled.

He widened his eyes, she was breathtaking.

"I know, and don't you ever feel guilty for not accepting my confession. I know you and you would most likely feel guilt whenever you look me in the eyes or whatever but, it's okay. It hurts but it's alright, the pain would go away after a few days, so don't worry about me. I don't want anything in our friendship to change because after all, people who confess are ready to be rejected. Though it seems I may have underestimated heartbreak, I like you the way you are, thank you for being honest with me. I don't want anything to change, and remember, we have our mission tomorrow so don't be late! Oh! I almost forgot, Goodnight as well, boboiboy!"

Yaya smiled up at him and walked past him, tears threatening to spill out.

"Goodnight to you as well, Yaya."

With that her tears fell like rain as she continued walking until she reached her shared room. She slid down the door and sat on the floor letting all her tears out.

Ying, who was awaken by the sounds of her friend sobbing she quickly ran to her side and began comforting her. She didn't dare ask who or what made her normally happy or feisty friend cry, but if she did find out she will end whatever or whoever made her best friend cry. For now she must focus on comforting her friend.

"It–It hurts ying...." Yaya sobbed out. Heartbreak should never be underestimated, she learned it the hard way. "Shhh... It's okay, I'm here, you don't have to tell me what happened. Just cry it all out." Ying comforted her until she eventually fell asleep. Ying carefully picked her up and put her on her bed, she removed her hijab carefully so her friend could rest comfortably.

"Sleep well Yaya." Looking at her friend resting carefully, she will find out who made her cry and once she does that person will pay.

Boboiboy entered his shared room with Gopal, contemplating what everything that just happened. Yaya confessed and now he doesn't know if anything will ever go back to normal.

How she smiled at him despite her heartbreak, he felt his heart ache at the thought, and the way his heart beat at the way she looked at him.

Wait, what?

He has other things to worry about anyway, like their upcoming mission tomorrow. Yet he can't stop thinking about a certain hijab wearing girl.
