Needle and Fries, moreover after being put up for elimination in BFDIA 17, got closer before BFDIA 18...
“ You can do this.. you can do this... ” Needle repeated to herself in her head, as she approached Fries.
Needle sighed, her heart pounding as she sat down next to Fries, who was sitting against a wall. " Oh, you. " Fries didn't bother to look at her, Knowing Needle, she would get offended fastly.
Needle let out a shocked scoff, her irritation already growing, why did she choose to team up with HIM..? " I- Y- Can't I have a normal conversation with you ever?! Besides, you just sit alone, not with me.. " She murmured the last part, not even considering the fact Fries actually heard it.
Fries turned to Needle, his eyes widening in pure shock, " I- WHAT?- " He blurted out, his arm brushing against hers in the night sky.
Needle suddenly averted her gaze, realizing Fries heard her through that. " U-uh.. nothing...-? " Fries rolled his eyes, before leaning closer to her, " Great lie, you fooled me, totally. " He deadpanned, making Needle feel a bit nervous as her heart pounded against her ribcage.
Fries, despite being careless, leaned back against the wall, sensing her discomfort. " ... You good? " He questioned, tilting his head up to look at the sky.
Needle let out an exasperated sigh, her hand subconsciously slipping into his, " I'm.. Not really, I guess. " Needle replied back, her eyes gazing up at the stars.
Fries turned to her, before tightening the grip on her hand purposefully. " .. And why's that? " " I just.. Feel like I'm never gonna get the chance to do what i want, it's always either someone forcing me, Or I ” have “ to do it. " Fries crossed his arms, he was never good at comforting people— let alone Needle, who he's tried to murder in challenges.
" .. Mind elaborating? " He pressed further, " Well.. I .. THINK I'm.. pansexual.. " She said in the most hushed tone ever, not even daring to look at Fries.
Fries stared at Needle, he wasn't exactly shocked— since Needle already showed signs of being pansexual as HELL. " .. Wow, so my theory was right indeed, " Needle turned her head to him, eyes widened, " Y-you’re not shocked..? " She inquired, her hand going to his shoulder.
Fries shook his head, " No, I mean, it was pretty obvious you were pansexual, considering your choices— " He blurted out, making Needle feel her irritation start to bubble up again. " Okay, now you're just being a dick, " She murmured, " Oh yeah? im a dick? You're holding onto my hand, fully feeling it, and not pulling away? " Needle suddenly pulled her hand from his, but Fries grabbed her hand tighter, his grip on her tightening further.
Needle felt her cheeks brighten, Furthermore, she was just stuck here now, But obviously wasn't gonna give Fries the satisfaction he was craving. " How- " Needle sighed, her heart starting to take another direction as she stared at the moon. The stars.. the perfect time.. with the perfect person..
She was fully lost in thought as she stared, before Fries shook her, " Wake up, idiot. " She let out a sudden shriek, her annoyance growing, " I- HEY! I was thinking of something nice.. " " Oh yeah? Mind telling your so-called ally what it was? " He pressed, his eyes locking further with hers.
Needle rolled her eyes, " Nothing you should worry about.. " Fries groaned, " Just say it already- " He blurted out in his usual raspy tone.
Needle narrowed her eyes, he was being so irritating, but yet again, something desired her to just say it.
" Fiiiinee... " She whined out, " Well, this is kinda the perfect scenario.. us ... Alone.. at night- " " Me fingering you- " " FRIES WHAT THE FUUCK?! " She exclamied, her blush growing as Fries let out a snicker, her reaction was way too entertaining.
He moved his free hand right on her lower waist, which she immediately swatted off in defensiveness.
" What? Alone at night, perfect time- " " NO- WE ARENT EVEN DATING— " She exclamied in flusteredness, her hair slightly waving in the windy, cold atmposhered night.
Fries rolled his eyes, suddenly becoming bemused as she pointed that out, " I know, dumbass, I'm not gonna hook up with your dumbass or something, and if you thought I was gonna, Get over it.. "
Needle suddenly felt a bit more flushed as he started to point out on more vulgar topics, " Shuuut UP- " Fries simply shook his head, making Needles emotions grow into a mix of flusteredness and irritation.
" No, Annoying you is too entertaining to stop now, " He informed, intertwining his hand in hers.
Needle narrowed her eyes in pure flusteredness, an involuntary shiver running down her spine. " C-can you just SHUT up and let me peacefully sit here?? " Fries raised an eyebrow, sitting in peace? With him?
" Yeah, good luck with that, darling, I'm not exactly the most “ peaceful ” person here. " He remarked, making Needle blush further at his nickname, before it faded off as she remembered how he literally killed her with that block in the earlier challenge.
" Oh yeah, cause you're just soooo not annoying, right? " " Needle, your whole existence is annoying. — " Needle let out a chuckle, starting to feel amused In their intimate banter. Her head leaning against his shoulder.
Fries felt her leaning against his shoulder, which he immediately questioned on about, " Oh great, the high pitched voice is now leaning on my shoulder. " Needle gripped her shirt tightly with her free hand, her annoyance growing as the moments with him passed, " Be glad someone's ass is even tolerating you right now. " She retorted,
Fries narrowed his eyes at her, subconsciously pulling her close into his touch, " Oh of course, like Puffball never existed— " " Shut. It. " Fries raised an eyebrow at her defensive tone, was she really jealous right now..?
" Wow, I smell envy, from a certain someone who doesn't like being called Nee.. nevermind. " He stopped himself, knowing her annoying ass slap would ruin this so-called moment between them.
Needle crossed her arms defensively, " Hey- NO. Why would I be jealous? I'm just annoyed of your rambling, " She winced internally, knowing that was a horrendous lie.
" Yeah sure buddy, like i'd believe that... " He stated, before noticing her uncomfortable position, " Y’know, you don't have to sit like that, just get closer, or stay in that hand breaking position. " Needle realized he was right, and begrudgingly leaned closer to him.
Fries wrapped an arm around Needle, coincidentally making her body more sensitive to his touch.
They stayed like that, gazing at the stars, As Needle hesitantly buried her face into his shoulder. As she dozed off. Feeling extra satisfied knowing she was in Fries’ arms, His only.
