Ever since Sandy knew he liked (Y/n), he began spacing out more.
⠀
Even he noticed it.
⠀
He noticed that he changed.
⠀
He grew more anxious, insecure, and he began to distant himself from everyone else.
⠀
Excluding towards (Y/n) though.
⠀
He didn't know why he changed.
⠀
Maybe it's because the dream he had.
⠀
... Well, it's more like a nightmare, actually.
⠀
He remembered what that "dream" was.
⠀
He stood there with his fists clenched and his teeth gritting.
⠀
The boy in front of him was pulling the (h/c) locks of the little girl with a wicked grin painted on his face.
⠀
Blood were dripping down her beautiful face, staining it with crimson red.
⠀
She was screaming.
⠀
She was squirming, trying to fight back.
⠀
He knew she was scared.
⠀
He knew she was in terrible pain.
⠀
But yet...
⠀
He couldn't seem to reach out to her.
⠀
No matter how hard he tried.
⠀
He remembered her pleas.
⠀
He remembered how she was begging for his help.
⠀
"Sandy! Please! Please! Help me!"
⠀
...
⠀
But, he couldn't reach her.
⠀
He felt extremely guilty.
⠀
He felt terrible to see her like that.
⠀
⠀
He tried running towards her.
⠀
But it felt like he hit an invisible wall that was separating him from them.
⠀
He tried banging on the invisible wall.
⠀
He tried punching it.
⠀
Until his knuckles bleed.
⠀
But still...
⠀
... Nothing happened.
⠀
He even go as far as slamming his head against it.
⠀
Again and again.
⠀
Again and again.
⠀
His head was bleeding.
⠀
He felt like his world was fading.
⠀
But he couldn't careless.
⠀
He was so desperate to save the girl.
⠀
Until the final blow.
⠀
The invisible wall was finally broken.
⠀
After that wall was broken, the boy disappeared and the little girl was laid on the floor.
⠀
He panicked, running towards the little girl.
⠀
He checked her breathing.
⠀
...
⠀
He found out that the little girl was alive but she fainted.
⠀
He seemed to calm down...
⠀
... before he woke up.
⠀
He gasped as he sat up on his bed.
⠀
He was sweating like crazy.
⠀
He calmed himself down before checking the clock.
⠀
'05:30'

⠀
Right now, Sandy was at the lounge, sitting in one of the couches.
⠀
Usually, he would sleep if he doesn't have any assigned matches for the moment.
⠀
But now, he couldn't even get his eyes closed for even a minute.
⠀
He sighed.
⠀
I feel really tired.
⠀
But, why can't I fall asleep?
⠀
Usually, it would only take me a second to fall asleep.
⠀
But why...
⠀
Why can't I fall asleep like that again?
⠀
He grew even more frustrated.
⠀
Groaning, he stood up.
⠀
Maybe if I took a little walk... I would be more tired and then maybe I could fall asleep.
⠀
He began walking.
⠀
Exiting the Brawl Stars building, he walked towards the building's garden.
⠀
He doesn't go to the garden very often, but he like going to that place. It felt really peaceful there. He loved taking a nap there.
⠀
As he got to the entrance of the garden, he stopped when he saw a presence.
⠀
The presence of the (h/c)-haired girl.
⠀
His eyes widened.
⠀
He was the least person he wanted to bump into.
⠀
Crap!
⠀
I don't want her to see me.
⠀
I feel really nervous around her.
⠀
... But she also made me feel happy.
⠀
But still!
⠀
I'm so tired!
⠀
If I see her, then she'll be in my head for the rest of the day!
⠀
It's like she casted a spell on me.
⠀
But fate said otherwise.
⠀
As he was turning around — about to leave the garden — he heard her called out to him, "Sandy!"
⠀
His shoulders tensed for a moment before relaxing back to normal.
⠀
He sighed before he turned around again.
⠀
His canary eyes were greeted with her (e/c) ones who were staring deeply into his eyes.
⠀
She was standing too close to his liking.
⠀
"Hi, Sandy!" She chirped gleefully as she gave him a close-eyed smile.
⠀
Her smile is so beautiful.
⠀
"Oh... Hi, (Y/n)... I—I didn't see you there..." He lied. "Anyways, um... What are you doing here? All by yourself...?" He added.
⠀
"Ohh! I found this place while I was walking around. Leon was such a meanie and I decided to ditch him!" She puffed her cheeks as she folded her arms against her chest.
⠀
And she's adorable.
⠀
Sandy chuckled — a bit awkwardly — as he spoke, "You can't just ditch someone because he said something mean to you,"
⠀
"He told me to go on a diet! He shouldn't say something like that to a lady!" She argued.
⠀
"Well that's true but still—"
⠀
"And he ruffled my hair when he knew that it took me so long to make this hairstyle! I have a reason to be mad at him! Hmph!"
⠀
He touched you...?
⠀
And you were mad at him touching you...?
⠀
I'm so happy you did that, (Y/n).
⠀
It's like you knew you weren't made for him...
⠀
... But for me.
⠀
"Oh, haha. T—Then, I guess it's fine," He spoke as he rubbed a hand against the back of his neck nervously.
⠀
"Oh and... Sandy?"
⠀
"Yes?"
⠀
"We were friends when we were younger, right?"
⠀
Huh? What's with the sudden question?
⠀
"Yes," He nodded.
⠀
"But... why... why can't I remember anything about you?"
⠀
He went silent for a moment.
⠀
"I mean other than I saved you from those bullies... I can't seem to remember a single thing. It's so weird,"
⠀
Oh...?
⠀
"Oh... I—I felt that too,"
⠀
"Really!?
⠀
"Yes,"
⠀
Her eyes shined for a moment as she exclaimed, "Woah! That's really weird!"
⠀
"You're so childish, (Y/n),"
⠀
"I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you very much," She bowed dramatically as the two of them laughed.
⠀
She continued, "Oh... and one more thing,"
⠀
"What is it?"
⠀
"Take this,"
⠀
She lend her hand to him.
⠀
There was a single white daisy in her hand. His eyes widened at this. He didn't expect anything from her.
⠀
"Uh... I—I'm not sure, (Y/n). I can't take care of flowers-"
⠀
"It's okay! Just keep it! I just want you to have it! Besides, I'm pretty sure this flower is dying anyway,"
⠀
"You want me to keep a dying flower...?" He asked as he tilted his head a bit.
⠀
(Y/n) giggled.
⠀
"Oh c'mon! It symbolizes something you know! Just... come here," She signalled by waving her hand towards her face.
⠀
His cheeks heaten up.
⠀
Is she going to--?
⠀
"W-What?"
⠀
"Lean closer to me!"
⠀
He hesitated before he lowered himself so his face was closer to hers.
⠀
She held his chin as she pushed the footstalk of the white daisy to place the flower behind his ear.
⠀
Sandy's cheeks are suddenly kissed pink like a spring rose, the blooming colour looked so cute against his skin.
⠀
He couldn't help but smile.
⠀
"(Y/n), thank you..."
⠀
I like her.
⠀
So much.
⠀
She's so adorable.
⠀
I want her to be mine.

This is supposed to be two different chapters, but one of the chapters was so short that I had to stitch it together! Sorry if the storyline gets confusing T_T
