Chapter Text
The Plaza Prom had came and went a couple of days ago. Yet Real Magic Skeleton still had questions.
Neither he or Brandon had brought a significant other to the event. Despite their claims that they both had a girlfriend and intended to bring them to the prom. Instead they had admit they lied about girlfriends and danced the night away with each other.
It was a wonderful night in all honesty. He couldn’t get the memory of it all out of his skull. They both certainly had fun that night. But the biggest question was still unanswered.
Did that dance mean what he thought it did?
The last few days he had been watching Brandon for clues of their relationship status. All he had observed was Brandon attempting to cut corners at work. Real Magic Skeleton only called him out on a small percent of those moments.
No clues lied in his speech either. During work hours he spoke with his usual, laid back way. Customers or no Brandon was pretty much ever chill. Off the clock was the same. Hang out. Laugh over some movie at Brandon’s house, sitting close to each other. Just be in each others company.
Magic Skeleton wanted to date his best friend. He would not ever deny that to himself. If Brandon felt the same, especially after that night, was the big question.
He needed to find out.
“Woo! Lunch break!” Brandon shouted that afternoon.
“Brandon, could you wait just a moment?” Real Magic Skeleton asked.
“Lunch time waits for no man.” Brandon said.
“What about for me?”
The question leaked out before Real Magic Skeleton realised he was saying it. He was just as surprised as Brandon looked at the question.
“What I mean is, I need to talk to you about something.” Magic Skeleton said quickly.
“I have time for you, dude. Is something up?” Brandon asked.
He was on the spot. And if he had skin he would be blushing. What if he was wrong? What if this was nothing and he was about to make a big fool out of himself now?
But then, how long could he really go on wondering?
The next question came out in a rush of words.
“I need to know.. are we… dating?”
Brandon stared at Real Magic Skeleton. It was only a few seconds of the awkward silence but it was enough for Real Magic Skeleton to speak up again to fill that silence.
“I guess what i’m really saying is that it felt… like we were together at the prom. And I wanted to ask you to make sure I was right. But of course I was scared to ask and-”
“Yes!” Brandon said.
Brandon sudden exclamation startled Real Magic Skeleton a moment. Brandon blushed just a moment before clearing his throat and speaking again.
“I didn’t mean to leave you hanging there. It’s just I had been thinking about how to ask you this too since the prom. And I had hoped the answer was that we are dating.”
“So we are definitely dating then.” Real Magic Skeleton said, speaking more as a confirmation rather than a question.
“Looks like it.” Brandon said.
Both of them laughed then before embracing. They were still laughing then, the joy of it all still in their systems.
“So… how does kissing a skeleton work exactly?” Brandon asked.
“Looks like you’re going to have to try and find out.” Real Magic Skeleton replied.
