Chapter Text
Ze was sat in his room, it was just like any ordinary day, he could hear Regect downstairs, of course he could hear him. Regect was always loud as fuck. He got up, quickly changing into his normal outfit which consisted of sweatpants, his normal hoodie with the 'Z' on the front, and the black bandana. He didn't really care about brushing his hair, he knew he did have quite messy hair from rolling about in his sleep but he didn't mind, they were staying in for the day anyway.He walked downstairs to see Regect cooking pancakes, the loud mouth talking about some random shit while Moe happily listened, occasionally adding her inputs by honking, she couldn't speak but despite that Regect and Ze could understand her. "Oh, morning Ze." Regect spoke out, placing a stack of slightly burnt pancakes onto the area Ze normally sat. Moe honked a few times at Ze happily, signalling that she was saying good morning, Ze mumbled out a slightly groggy good morning back to the two.
Ze poured himself a cup of coffee before sitting down, picking up his cutlery and cutting a small piece of the pancakes, he popped the piece in his mouth and chewed. "So, you guys ready for the beach? We gotta leave in a half an hour to make sure we get a good spot!" Regect called out, halfway up the stairs to most likely grab a bag. Ze blinked, beach..? Oh shittt...
His mind wandered back to a week ago.
Regect barged in annoyingly, Moe honking happily behind him "Yo! Ze, we're thinking about going to the beach next week, that good with you" he was so focused on his book that he had barely heard Regect "yeah, sure, whatever. Just let me read."
Ze groaned, he'd forgot about the beach. Well shit, now he had to pack a bag with beach stuff, probably get dragged into the water, which meant he probably had to put on swimwear. He never liked swim trunks, they always felt..weird..on him but it was all he owned. He ate his pancakes while Moe happily honked about what she'd do at the beach, build sandcastles, go for a swim. Average beach activities, after he and Moe had finished the pancakes he put the dirty dishes in the sink and walked upstairs to his room and began packing.
He packed his swim trunks, tank top, some towels, that stupid beachball Moe always liked playing about with when they rarely went to the beach, and some sunscreen. He zipped the bag up and quickly ran a brush through his hair, wanting to look at least a bit presentable. He walked downstairs, already seeing moe in a red crop top and some casual pants, carrying her beach bag. He gave her a small smile which she happily returned.
Regect walked down, carrying his own bag. "So, we ready?" He looked at both of them, the two of them nodding. "Perfect, let's go then, I call shotgun!!" Ze groaned, knowing he'd be driving and Regect would be playing corny ass songs.
In the car, Regect happily took control of the music, yelling the songs lyrics out loud. Moe sat in the backseat, drawing.
Once they got there, it was decently busy but thankfully it wasn't that bad, they found a spot, and laid the beach towels and umbrellas down. Moe instantly went to trying to build a sandcastle, smiling warmly. Ze and Regect decided to take a walk since Moe had practically shooed them away, apparently wanting to make it a surprise. While they walked a guy with green slimy skin hurriedly ran over in a panic, babbling about a guy in knight amour, derlord or something, Ze did remember seeing a guy in full amour earlier walking left, over to the icecream truck, so he casually pointed the scared slime boy over there.
While they walked, though it was mostly in silence, it was comfortable. They walked along the shore, the waves crashing against ze's feet and regects foot and the small gold chain attached to his other nonexistent foot. Ze casually reached over slightly, grasping Regects clawed hand in his own, both of them blushing slightly and looking away from each other, just like highschoolers in love. Adorable.
Ze looked up at Regect, then spoke "hey..Regect..?" He mumbled out, his voice barely louder than a whisper, Regect replied back "yes ze?" He looked down at Ze, really taking in his appearance, white, slightly messed up hair, large black eyes with the dark eyebags under them, slightly flushed face from the warmer, and remembered why he had a crush on him. "Do you ever think of like..yknow.." Ze paused, he was NOT confessing to Regect on a random fucking beach?? Regect looked at him, confused on why he paused "of what Ze?" He asked, wanting to know why he had paused. "Oh..sorry, forgot" Ze muttered quietly.
Regect grabbed Ze's hand quickly, pulling him to a more private spot, Ze quickly pushed him away when they got over to the spot, confusion and anger painted all over his face "what the hell dude?!?" He asked, voice slightly raised as he looked at what he assumed was Regects also annoyed expression, telling expressions on headless entitys was nearly impossible. "I have known you for years, you have never ONCE forgotten a sentence, what are you not telling me?!" Regect said, voiced tinted with anger. "It was nothing dude, relax." Ze spoke out coldly, more stern than he meant. "Dude, we trust each other, you can tell me anything! You know that!" Regect yelled, getting more upset with Ze.
At this point both of them were mad, Ze didn't want to confess to him on this random beach. He thought the confession should be heartfelt and in private. They continued to argue with each other over how Regect was just worried and wanted to know what it was, while Ze didn't want to tell him what it was at ALL. They both just kept going back and forth, voices getting slightly more raised before Ze suddenly grabbed Regects arm and got up close and yelled "I HAVE A STUPID FUCKING CRUSH ON YOU! OKAY! HAPPY?!" he blurted out.
Shit. He didn't mean to say that. I mean, it was true but it wasn't how he wanted to confess at all. He stared at Regect in shock, Regect (probably) staring back at him in shock as well. This was not going to be a easy conversation.
