..
Pen sat at the desk in his room, staring at the ground. He could do this, right? I mean.. It was only his best friend of 10-16 years. Nothing bad would happen! Eraser might dump him and call him a freak..
Oh god. What if he couldn’t do this.. Pen grabbed his arm and began to pick at his skin, something he often did when he got nervous.
Pen looked at the mirror in front of him, before mumbling barley above a whisper, “fuck..” Pen suddenly tensed up when he heard the door to his room open, he looked away from the desk’s mirror and saw Liy step in.
“Hey Pen, what’s up?” She said, closing the front door behind her and kicking her sandals off and flopping onto his bed.
Pen looked at her for a second, mumbling. “Liy.. I-I’m nervous. What if he says no- What if he HATES ME?” Pen looked away from Liy as he saw her frown.
“Dudeee!! You’ve been holding off this confession for FUCKINGG MONTHS!! It’s time!” Liy yelled at him, but she wasn’t trying to be rude.
“I know.. I just don’t wanna lose my best friend.” Pen said, this time his voice cracking a bit.
Liy felt a slight bit of regret for yelling at him, “sorry.. I shouldn’t have yelled. Pen, take this from me. You’re the nicest person I’ve ever met, you got this! The worst thing he can say is no, right?”
Pen felt a little bit of relief she wasn’t actually mad, and turned back around to smile at her. “Yeah—Yeah.. Your right!! Maybe I can do this.”
Liy sat up and threw an arm around him, smiling. “You got this, trust me.” She hugged him and stood up, “I’m gonna go find match and pencil, see ya Pen. Good luck~” she made finger guns at him, which made Pen turn red.
“S-Shut the fuck up Liy. We aren’t even dating yet.” Pen mumbled, flipping her off.
“Betting twenty bucks you and Raser gonna be sloppily making out at the end of the day.” She giggled as Pen threw his shoe at her and ran off.
Pen stood for a second, before sighing and grabbing his phone off the nightstand next to him, he unlocked it and saw 2 missed messages, both from different contacts

Pen stared down at his phone, as much as he wanted to say: “ily!!” he couldn’t. He couldn’t. Pen sighed, and stood up, walking to his front door. He opened it and closed it behind him, locking it and rushing to the elevator.
He pressed the down button, and wrapped his arms around himself. It felt like hours waiting for the elevator, but it finally opened and revealed Grassy and Snowball.
“Pen!!” Grassy said excitedly, running into his arms.
“Hey little man, how are you?” Pen asked, and tilted his head up to look at SB, smiling.
“I’m Grassy!!” Grassy exclaimed, before hopping down and running to Snowball. Snowball gave a slight and short smile, before taking Grassy by the hand and walking to wherever they were going.
Pen hopped into the elevator and clicked the lobby button, leaning against the wall and sighing. Today was the day, everything would be right, he’d confess to Eraser, they’d date.. it’d be so fun!!
Pencil leaned against her car, talking to Liy whilst one hand was wrapped around Match’s waist.
“Like, where is the twink. I have places to be!!” Pencil said, mainly talking to herself.
“He’s getting ready extra because he’s gonna confess today to his crush.” Liy said, smirking as she dug through her purse.
Pencil perked up at that and smirked with her, “Eraser? God finally. I’m sick of hearing: “ohh eraser is so hot!! God I wish I could date him.” Finally, my misery ends here.
Pencil made a fake cross with her fingers, and all three girls giggled along. Match finished her makeup and put the lipstick into her pocket, smiling.
Pen came out of the lobby’s front doors, looking around and spotting Pencil, waving to his older sister. She saw him and waved back, opening the passenger seat for Match, and waiting for her to get in before she shut the down and walked to the drivers side.
Pen saw Liy and smiled at her, Liy smiling back and putting a hand on his back. Pen got into the backseat of Pencil’s car, and looked at Liy once more. She mouthed: “you got this! Go get yo man!”
Pen smiled and looked at Pencil. “Why is all of the contestants meeting up at Goiky Needy?” Pen asked.
“It’s Valentine’s Day. Woah Bunch put together a little party for us and said whoever wanted to come could.” Pencil shrugged and started the car, beginning to drive.
“I don’t really want to like, see Pin. She still pissed me off. Match said, staring out the window.
“Why do you guys hate Pin so much? What’d she do in bfdia?” Pen asked, tilting his head to look at Match.
“I’m gonna like— pretend you didn’t ask that.” Match crossed her arms and grabbed her purse.
Pen knew she’d only said that because she knew her nor Pencil really had a reason to hate Pin. As far back as he could remember to bfdi days, they’d always hated Pin.
They’d call her bossy and a loudmouth. Say she wasn’t a good team captain, and that she should kick the bucket. Pen had only spoken to Pin a few times, but she seemed like a nice girl.
No wonder Coiny left the bro squad, she was a fun person to be around, and Coiny always told Pen and Snowball how pretty she was.
It only took about 25 minutes to get to the Needy, and when they arrived Pencil dropped off Match and Pen and told them to go in while she found parking. Pencil drove off and Pen looked at the tall building in front of him.
“I’ve never seen Goiky before.” Pen said, not really meaning for it to be out loud.
“Me neither, we were stuck in the LOL for nearly 2 years.” Match said, looking at Pen.
“So like.. How’s life? I guess.” Match asked Pen, walking alongside him.
Pen looked at her for a minute, thinking about what to reply with. “Eh, it’s a few months after tpot soo.. Cool I guess. It’s nice to see my friends again.” Pen said, looking at the sky now.
They walked in silence for the rest of the time, neither really having anything to say. They arrived in the Goiky Needy, and Match immediately ran up to Bubble and Ruby when she saw them.
Pen stood in the middle for a second, before spotting Pillow by herself at a table. Pen noticed she looked.. Upset. Which was unusual for her, since she was basically a psychopath.
Pen debated walking up to her, but he watched as Winner approached her and gave her a kiss on the cheek, immediately bringing her smile back. Pen smiled, and turned his attention to the bar.
He saw Blocky, Eraser, and Coiny talking while drinking. Pen smiled and looked at them, before walking up to them.
“Hey guys!” Pen smiled and waved. The three men looked at him, and Eraser grinned, standing up and fist bumping Pen.
“Yoo man. What’s up?” Eraser said, patting a seat next to him.
“Eh, nothing much really. What about you?” Pen asked, sitting next to Eraser.
Eraser was about to respond, before Blocky blurted out: “Gosh, can I talk to Pen? Haven’t seen him in years and you two lovebirds can’t stop flirting for a minute.”
Coiny laughed at his comment, Pen turning to glare at the two.
“We aren’t flirting you bitch.” Pen flipped him off and Coiny giggled, wiping a tear from his eye.
“Suree, and humans exist.” Coiny giggled, and looked at Eraser who was standing there with a meh expression. Blocky apologized and sat back down, looking at Fries, who was running the bar.
“Fries.. Can I get another shot.” Blocky asked, looking at him with puppy eyes.
Fries groaned, shaking his head. “Pin said that an object can only have 3 shots a day. She’s the one who also has cameras in the bar. She said the only thing people can have after three shots is paprika soda.” Fries shrugged and Blocky frowned.
“Bitchh.” Blocky mumbled under his breath, but it was loud enough for Coiny to hear.
“Dude, don’t call my girlfriend a bitch.” Coiny glared at him, silently warning him.
Blocky grinned, sensing he was getting mad. “What’s wrong Coiny? Can’t handle the truth?” Blocky laughed at Coiny, before he stopped and felt tears prickle at the corner of his eyes, he fell to the ground holding his crotch.
Pen tried to hold in his laughter, but ultimately failed and clutched his stomach while laughing and wheezing, Eraser was silently standing there, but he knew that inside he was laughing as well.
“You- You fucking tranny!! You- ughh my balls! I hate you!” Blocky groaned and stayed on the ground, Coiny rolling his eyes.
Eraser suddenly spoke up, after being silent for so long. “I’m kinda hungry…” he said, looking at the group.
Fries looked him dead in the eyes, “Your always hungry fatass.” Fries facepalmed and walked to the employees only room to probably take a smoke.
Pen smiled and patted Eraser on his shoulder, “I’ll go get us some food! Be right back guys!” Pen quickly dashed towards the food/appetizer table, looking down at the food in front of him.
He grabbed a bunch of different varieties of food, before walking back carefully to the bar. He stopped for a second and hid behind the wall, listening to the conversation.
It seemed Coiny had left, now it just being Blocky and Eraser. Coiny probably went to go make out with Pin or something, god that dirty dog.
“Yoo, I’ve been meaning to ask.. Do you like men?” Blocky smirked, taking a wig of the soda.
Eraser shook his head, but he was turning as red as a fire truck. “W-what makes you think that? Dumbass..”
Blocky smirked, already had gotten his answer and decided to let it go. “Have you seen the way Pen looks at you? It’s so cute.”
“Me and Pen are just friends bro. Nothing more.” Eraser said nonchalantly, not thinking much of it.
Oh, but it was so much more. Pen was standing behind the wall still, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes. God, he’s such a fucking baby. Crying over a guy..
No.
Not just any guy, his best friend, his right hand man—partner in crime. Pen didn’t notice that his hair was sticking out, and heard someone call his name.
“Pen?” He heard Blocky call, Pen quickly dashed away to the bathrooms, hoping nobody had heard or seen where he went. Blocky and Eraser walked towards the wall where Pen once stood, but now nobody was there.
He didn’t know why, but Eraser felt a sense of distress in his stomach. “Why would he be spying on our conversation? And why’d he run?” Eraser asked, trying to piece things together.
Blocky groaned and grabbed Eraser’s shoulders, pulling the taller and fatter one down to his level. “My guy, Pen has had a crush on you for like, 9 years! You haven’t gotten any of the hints or signs he gave you?” Blocky let go of Eraser, and crossed his arms.
Eraser looked at Blocky, dumbfounded for a moment before he finally found his voice. “H-He likes me?” Eraser didn’t notice the blush creep onto his face, and didn’t see the now forming smirk on the shorter one’s face.
Eraser stopped for a second, realizing if Pen had heard their conversation, he was probably.. No—he WAS heartbroken.
“Shit! I gotta fix this.” Eraser ran past Blocky, Blocky staring at him until he got further and further. Pencil peeked out from the corner when Blocky gave a signal, and she walked up to him.
“Alright, gay porn time.” Blocky rubbed his hands together, ignoring the look of disgust from Pencil.
“You boys are like—so fucking nasty.” Pencil said, rolling her eyes, but smiling. “I’m glad Pen is getting what he like, deserves though. Thanks for your help Blocky.” Pencil elbowed him, and Blocky grinned.
“it’s just what I do son!” Blocky now smiled, showing off his sharp teeth to the taller girl beside him. Pencil shook her head and walked away back to her group.
God.. He was such a mess. His eyes were red and puffy, hair and clothes disheveled. He was a fucking idiot to think Eraser would even consider dating his ugly ass, Pen sat against the wall, crying as he curled his knees up to his chest.
Pen didn’t perk up at the knocks on the door, but he did perk up when he heard a familiar voice.
“Pen? Are you in there..?” Eraser asked, nervously waiting for an answer.
Pen felt shocked for a second, before standing up and unlocking the door, stepping back so Eraser could open it.
Eraser felt horrible when he saw Pen, and immediately went in for a hug.
“You okay..?” Eraser asked, rubbing Pen’s back and Pen clinged to him. Pen shook his head and Eraser frowned.
Eraser sighed, before speaking up in a soft, reassuring voice. “I.. I’m sorry for what you heard. It was rude of me, and selfish of me to consider that nobody was listening to our conversation.” Eraser looked at Pen, who was smiling at him.
“It’s fine bro! No sweat.. I’m kinda being dramatic anyway.” Pen smiled and pulled away from the hug. What he least expected was for Eraser to grab both his hand and put them against his chest.
“I guess. I haven’t been.. Completely honest with you.” Eraser spoke, trying to find the courage to muster up his own confession.
“I- fuck. I like you Pen. I’m sorry for what I said-I just.. I guess I didn’t want Blocky to be a dick to me like the one between his legs.”
Pen felt blush creep onto his face, and Eraser smirked as he turned into a vibrant shade of red. Eraser closed the distant between them, cupping Pen’s face and kissing him.
Pen allowed himself to be kissed, he was on cloud nine right now. He never thought that this would be how he ended the party, and was excited. Pen opened his mouth slightly and allowed Eraser’s tounge in, they kissed for a few minutes, taking some breaks in between.
Eraser kissed him one last time before pulling away, both of them breathing heavily. Saliva connected their lips, and Pen looked away. “You could’ve given me a warning before suffocating me..”
Eraser chuckled, looking at Pen who was now looking away, thinking it was cute when he was embarrassed.
“Sorry, sorry.” Eraser said, looking at the door. “Wanna go home? I’m sick of this party. None of the food is even good here brochacho.” Eraser stood up and took Pen by the hand, as the walked out of the bathroom together.
