Y/N ran in front of Black Hole to Cloudy’s collection, looking around. “Hm?” Black Hole questioned. “Cloudy isn’t around here, let’s, steal something!” Y/N said. “Oh, well, I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Cloudy could come back at any moment and like, I mean what do we even need” Y/N crossed their (possibly existent) arms playfully. “My sketchbook did disappear yesterday.” They said. “That’s a good point. And it’s probably not gonna cause death, so get it done quickly.” Y/N smiled and turned to the pile of stuff. They quickly kneeled down and started rummaging around. They soon pulled out a colorful sketchbook and held it up triumphantly. “Alright, let’s get out of here!!” Y/N giggled, running away from the pile with Black Hole following behind them at a safe distance.
They arrived at their favorite spot to hang out together, a quiet shady place, and Y/N sat down. They pulled out a pencil from nowhere and flipped open the notebook. Black Hole spoke up. “Hey, did we water the flowers today” Y/N followed his (assumed) gaze at the flowers they had planted just about where the shade ended with some seeds they had found on the ground in a bag. “I don’t know. Better safe than sorry!” Y/N picked up the watering can by the tree and walked over to the plants. Black Hole was waiting for them to finish, and glanced at their open sketchbook. To his mild surprise, he saw a sketch of himself. There were some swirls of blue and purple colored pencil swirls around the black orb in the center of the page. If Black Hole had a face he would’ve smiled. And maybe gone just a little red. Y/N walked back over. “I like your drawing of me” Black Hole said. Y/N looked confused until they looked down at the sketchbook. “Oh— oh-! Yea thank you!!” They picked up the sketchbook, and unlucky them did have a face, so you should see their slight blush. Black Hole noticed this.
Y/N flipped to a blank page. “Who should I draw now?” Y/N picked up their pencil. “You should draw us together.” Black hole suggested. Y/N got a little flustered, reminding themself that probably wasn’t meant to be in a romantic context. “Okay!!” Y/N got to sketching. Black Hole watched over their shoulder. He also noticed when they got flustered. At this point he knew they liked him. But he wasn’t sure if he should ask them if they wanted to be their partner or not. To be honest, he did want to say mushy things to them and call them stupid pet names sometimes. But he had this irrational nervousness about asking them out.
Y/N was kind of oblivious to Black Hole’s feelings about them because Black Hole isn’t the most expressive person in the world. He does express himself with his voice, although it is kind of monotone, especially around Y/N, but for the most part, if he doesn’t want you to know he’s feeling something, or it’s slight, you won’t know. In Y/N’s eyes, asking Black Hole to be their partner was almost off the table entirely. They finished the drawing and turned to Black Hole to show him. He was closer to them than usual, and lost in thought. Y/N backed away. “Woah! A little close there!” Y/N giggled despite their life being threatened. “Oh, I’m so sorry Y/N” Black Hole backed away slightly as well. Y/N blushed a bit. “I finished the drawing too! It looks good doesn’t it? I’m gonna color it when I get my colored pencils.” Black Hole agreed.
The next day, while Y/N was watering their flowers right after approaching their spot, Black Hole said from behind them “If I had arms do you think we would hold hands sitting up here” Y/N almost jumped, but also got good butterflies in their stomach. “Oh, uh, yeah?? Yeah!! Sure we would!!” Black Hole was dipping his metaphorical foot into the water. He found their reaction kinda cute. Y/N was smiling to themself. As they finished up with the flowers.
The day after that, Black hole quickly called them babe in passing conversation. Y/N got flustered again, but didn’t say anything. Black Hole kept doing things like that for about a week. He felt kinda guilty about it, but he was gonna stop stop that day. And ask Y/N to be his partner.
“Oh, I meant to bring my sketchbook this time but I forgot.” Y/N fidgeted with the grass by them. “Hey Y/N” They looked up from the ground at Black Hole. “I’ve been wondering, would you, uh, want to be my partner, like, rromantically” Y/N blushed. “Wha!! Yea , yea!! Yea!!” Y/N would’ve thrown their (possibly existent) arms around Black Hole if it wouldn’t kill them. “So like, you’re my boyfriend?” Y/N smiled. “Well, yeah, “ Black Hole said. “..I wanna kiss you,, I wish I could kiss you” Y/N mumbled. “Maybe you could draw that later” Black Hole suggested. Y/N blushed. “Yea!! Yea I will I think!!!” After a short pause, they blew Black Hole a kiss. “You’re so cheesy sometimes” Y/N could hear the smile in his voice. “Well, I love you a lot Y/N” he said. “I love you too!!”
