Inanimate Insanity: Object Party!

Suitloon: No Longer Lonely

Suitcase's POV:

I was having lots of fun at Toilets party, it is a blast! I even helped Paintbrush get a small peck on the cheek from Lightbulb! You know, I always thought they would be so cute together! Their opposite personalities clash perfectly, in my opinion! I even had the tastiest double chocolate coconut clusters I've ever had! But there's was just... one thing missing...

"Uhh, Suitcase? You ok?" Paintbrush asked me as I stared at Balloon, dancing all alone in the corner of the room we were in. I swiftly cocked my head back towards Paintbrush and sighed. "Yeah. I'm fine!" Paintbrush asked, "You need my help with...that?"

I looked down and blushed. "Maybe... a little." Paintbrush patted my back with his/her hand and smiled. "Listen, I don't know very much about romance, as you could see from just earlier, but one thing I did learn is you just gotta go for it. If you really want something, just do it! Like you said, you never know. Maybe he will like you back! Maybe not. But, I honestly doubt he doesn't. Just look at him!"

I turned back over to Balloon, and I saw him quickly turn away, blushing darker than his rubber. "He obviously has a crush on you, all you gotta do is ask him!" I looked back at Paintbrush and looked at her/him with a hopeful smile. "Do you really think so?" Paintbrush just grinned and nodded at me. I just got a huge moment of déjà vu, wow. "I- ok, fine. I'll try, if you really want me too."

Paintbrush suddenly waved her hands back and forth close to my face. "No, no. You don't have to if you don't want to! But... like I said." I looked at her with a more determined expression and smirked. "If you want something, go for it. I'm gonna go with my gut, and ask him to maybe, hang out after the party, or dance, or whatever he would want to do."

I turned around confidently towards Balloons little corner, where he perked up his face. His adorable eyes made my heart melt like butter, for they sparkled brightly in the particular lighting, and were mesmerizing.

"H-hey Balloon!" He slightly smiled while blushing and said hey, then frowned a bit. I sat on the floor next to him, and snuggled up a bit to him. "Balloon, what's the matter?" Balloon sighed and looked at me. "I-it's nothing, really..." I looked at his eyes, they were tearing up. "Please, Balloon. Tell me."

He managed to choke out the words, "My parents... it's the 3rd anniversary of... when they...when..they...." Balloon started sobbing into the materials in my case. I let him stay there for about 5 minutes, then looked up, his eyes now red with dark bags underneath them. "It's ok Balloon.., it'll be alright..."

He looked down and said, "That's not exactly the only reason... I don't have too many friends, and I'm just.. lonely. You're the only person I've care about and you're the only one who cares about me. Or at least, I hope." I had small tears forming in my eyes, and softly said, "Of course I do, Balloon. I care about you... a lot. More than you would know..."

Balloon looked at me with a bright white smile. "Really? You have absolutely NO IDEA how much that means to me..." I suddenly felt a small heat form around my cheeks. Balloon suddenly scooted closer to me, and I did the same. Both of us were blushing madly, and I was ready to make a move.

I swooped in and kissed his lips. They were soft and they felt like heaven. I quickly moved away, Balloon redder than Apple's skin and said, "Oh my, I'm sorry! I don't know what came over me, I..." Balloon unexpectedly kissed me back and I was struck with happiness.

"I never got to tell you how much I loved you until now..." I gave a small, heartfelt smile at that sentence. I replied, "I love you, Balloon." "I love you too." We kissed a last time and we went back to Paintbrush and she said, "So I'm gonna guess by your little kissing session over there, that you're together now." We both grinned and nodded. "That's great! Also, Fan owes me 5 bucks. Congrats!" Greatest night of my life, by far.
