More Than a Friend?!

I stared at the sunset, the light mocking my dark mood.

Balloon was right..

I AM in love with my best friend.

But..why?!

Don't get me wrong, Baseball is a great guy and all..but I can't imagine being his boyfriend.

"Love?"

That definitely doesn't suit me.

It's always been like this..

Someone likes me only as a friend.

*footsteps*

Looks like someone's here.

"Hi, Nickel."

I turned around.

Balloon.

What's he doing here?

He smiled at me.

"I didn't know you had a hiding spot."

I frowned.

"Just go away."

Balloon shook his head, then sat beside me.

"I think someone wants to see you."

Who was he talking about?

"Hi, Nick."

Baseball?!

Why is he here right now?!

I stood up.

Balloon winked at me.

"You got this.." he whispered so kindly it irked me to no end.

I cautiously walked towards Baseball.

He smiled awkwardly, turning a bit red.

"Nickel..I love you. I really do."

What?!

*chuckle*

Balloon chuckled softly.

"I'll leave you two lovebirds alone.."

He ran away with a smile on his face.

My cheeks burned with embarrassment.

"You..really love me, Baseball?!"

He nods, still blushing.

"Yes, I do. More than a friend."

I inched closer to him.

"Would you like to cuddle?"

He nodded.

"Don't be shy, you can do it."

"Okay."

Baseball cuddled close to me.

"I love you, Nickel."

"I love you too, Baseball."

*light laughter*

On the other side of the docks, I noticed Balloon sitting on the other side as he hugged Suitcase tightly.

She beamed at me with joy.

"Looks like we both found true love, huh?"

Despite myself, I cracked a small smile.

"Yeah..it feels amazing."
