Better Off As Lovers [Bugz Bunny x Lebron James]

Thnks Fr The Mmrs

"Hey Lebron." Bugz said, with a bit of unbelief in his voice that he was talking to his best friend again.
"Hey man, how's college been treating you?" Lebron asked. He genuinely seemed interested.
"it's been good" Bugz lied through his bucked teeth.
"I just finished my last exam of the year." Bugz uttered kinda forcefully. Trying to cover his previous lie with a truth.
"That's perfect. Im finally in Connecticut, when's a good time for us to meet up? There's an restaurant called Les Chauves about 20 mins from your school."
Bugz was frozen in place. Terrified of the thought of his best friend he had left in his home town, who had such high expectations for him, to realize bugz isn't living the life he expected of him.
"you there?"
Bugz snapped back into reality.
"yeah, and uh this Saturday i don't have any plans." there was a brief pause.
"wait when's Saturday?" Bugz asked Lebron. Making Lebron chuckle.
"College life must a lot, huh. It's in 2 days." Lebron answered.
"Ok, Saturday works for me too" Bugz responded.
Lebron and Bugz talked on the phone for the next hour. It was the first time he really had a conversation since he left his home town. sure, he'd ask someone for a pencil and he'd talk to his dealer, but this was a real conversation. They talked like there wasn't even an entire school year of no communication with each other. They laughed like that too.

"alright man, I have to go to practice soon, i'll see you on Saturday. I'm excited for it." Lebron said.
Bugz smiled in one of the first times in what felt like forever.
"See you" Bugz replied. Lebron hung up. When bugz got off his phone he looked around and noticed how bad his dorm was and there was no way he was gonna let his best friend see him as the mess he was. He started off with the sink, that was filled to the brim with dishes and old food that was starting to stink. He started cleaning the plates. Each scrub reminded him of how disgusting he was. There was no way Lebron would want to be around him if he knew how bad his cleaning procrastination habit was, god forbid he knew about bugz's other little habit. After what seemed like a year, he put the last plate up in the counter and the last piece of silverware in the drawer. He got all of his clothes and put them in a laundry basket. Not really sure when the last time he's seen them in one. Finally, that bugz's dorm was clean enough for his liking, he headed into his bathroom to take a shower. He put on his favorite Insane Clown Posse song and hopped in.

As bugz was scrubbing his gray bunny fur, the sound of Shaggy and Violent J not understanding how the fuck magnets work echo'd through bugz's dorm bathroom.  As he heard them sing, he thought about how much of a miracle it was Lebron wanted to talk to him again. He thought about how painful it was distancing himself from Lebron after graduation. He knew it was for the best. The story of two best friends with big ambitions eventually going on to do better things and drift apart is all too common. Besides, maybe it was for the best. Nearly 2 years of unreciprocated feelings for his best friend, Lebron James, was slowly eating him alive and he had to say goodbye to him. But...Bugz missed Lebron dearly and maybe if he was careful, the past feelings wouldn't come back, Right?
