Chapter Text
Is there anything more important in the world than two people who have found each other?
Chapter one: Confusion
"What are you doing outside?" Bonnie would have never thought in a million years that such a simple phrase could send shivers down his spine. He felt childish for feeling this way. Not being able to control his emotions was new for him, he was still trying to get used to it.
"Nothiiiiiing." he replied. By the look of his face, he could tell that Freddy was not impressed. Not very surprising. It wasn't very like him to just leave the pizzeria without telling anyone. Bonnie didn't like worrying his friends so he always made sure to let them know he was going to do something before he actually did it. This time was different though. Bonnie had left quietly, without telling anyone. He himself didn't really know why, it just felt right. He needed to be alone. He needed to clear his head. That's why he went outside in the first place, to clear his head. Well at least that was the plan but he had found himself even more confused after being alone with his thoughts. Who would have thought.
"You're gonna get cold." "I'll be fine." "...Can I stay with you?"
Bingo.
Yep, that was all Bonnie needed. To be stuck with the same person he was trying to avoid in the first place. Keyword trying as you could probably guess, he hadn't gotten too far. 'Why does this always happen to me.' he thought as he prepared himself for what was about to come next: Awkward silence. Well... He did prepare himself for the worst, but that awkward silence never came. He was amazed at how his friendship with Freddy had descended basic human interaction. They had come to a point in their relationship where they were physically incapable of feeling awkward around each other. Bonnie was used to feeling weird around people. Maybe that's why even though he liked having a break, he felt a little unusual around Freddy.
"You still haven't told me why you went outside." "I needed to clear my head." "From what?" "It doesn't really matter." Of course it mattered, Bonnie just didn't have the courage to say it. 'I'm in love with you! Please go out with me.' it was definitely easier to say it in his head. Saying it to Freddy's face was a different story.
"I don't know, you seem kind of out of it these days Bon, is there something wrong?" "Hmm? No, everything's fine don't worry." "I feel like there's something you're not telling me."
Bonnie sweated, he had no idea why Freddy was being persistent. It was a bit overwhelming. He hadn't expected it.
"I'm perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong. I've just been thinking." "Thinking about what?" Freddy asked. 'THİNKİNG OF YOU IDIOT' Bonnie thought. He did want to say it, but now was not the right time, he wasn't sure if there even was a right time, Freddy was his best friend and he didn't want to complicate their relationship. The situation was so cliche it was almost cringing Bonnie to death.
He ended up replying with a "Nothing in particular, just thinking about the future and stuff. What I wanna do and all." Freddy went silent. He seemed to have this calm expression on his face. Honestly Bonnie found it a bit charming. It did make him feel a bit more nervous though knowing Freddy had a bit more control over the situation. He felt the need to get away, get away from the world get away from his feelings and most importantly get away from his best friend, whom he had a massive crush on. He was cut short from his thoughts when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "You overthink too much, you just need to relax a bit."Freddy said. For some reason this irritated Bonnie. "It's not as easy as that! If I could just stop overthinking about stuff I wouldn't have any problems anyway." Bonnie said. 'Wait did I say that out loud?' 'fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-' Bonnie's thoughts were interrupted by chuckling. Freddy was... chuckling? Huh. This calmed Bonnie down a bit. Truth be told he liked hearing Freddy's voice. He liked hearing Freddy's voice when he was happy, when he was laughing. He would've preferred if he wasn't the one Freddy was laughing at but... 'Uggghhhhh why am I getting flustered all of a sudden?' It was getting harder for Bonnie to maintain his original skin tone, as time passed he was starting to resemble his bow tie more and more, which was alarming for him to say the least. Bonnie wasn't used to blushing he felt a little bit... vulnerable. 'What do you know, I experience something new every day. Yay me' He thought to himself sarcastically.
They both sat in silence under the moonlight. The feeling all too familiar for both of them. They liked being near each other that's why they were best friends. They had been through so much together it was hard to imagine being without one another. If only Bonnie could control his emotions. Then nothing would have to change. Bonnie sighed.
"We should go inside." Bonnie said. "If you say so." Freddy replied.
So they went inside. After a while of chatting with their friends Bonnie said he was a little tired and went to bed. He tried to sleep, obviously couldn't. He knew this feeling was suffocating him yet he couldn't get enough."What the hell. Am I a masochist or something haha." He said to himself quietly. He didn't have the energy to think anymore. He wasn't sure how or when but slowly he drifted off to sleep.
Little did he know he wasn't the only one struggling.
