So this is like... My first actual story here since I've written nothing but one-shots so far... I decided to go with a Happy Tree Friends for my first up. I'm not too sure the characters are OOC (out of character, is what I heard it meant. I'm not use to these fanfiction terms) but still doubtful here. Okay so, the characters are no longer animals but, humans now. I have no clue how this story is going to affect anyone, but there's a first time for everything, right? Enjoy (if you can)...

Pairing: Splendid and Flippy

Warning: This contains slash\yaoi... If you no likey, you probably should leave now... Terrible writing should also be watched out for.

Disclaimer: I do not own Happy Tree Friends, nor their characters. *Sigh*


"You promise to stay with me?" said a light green hair guy; wearing a dark green beret and dog tags around his neck.

"Of course! I will jump in and save you if you're ever in trouble; just like a superhero!"

"You already have the attitude for the job." He appeared closer with a knife in his hands.

"Would you still try to protect me if I tried to kill you?" said the forest hair boy.

Splendid immediately woke up in his bed; sweat surrounding the edges of his face, his eyes swiftly looking around the room for signs of danger. This was his first time he encountered a dream of someone who's tried to threaten his life. It surely scared the life out of him; knowing someone was going to kill him for no clear reason. He was a good guy, Splendid thought to himself as he checked for the time.

"8:23 am? Shit." He cursed to himself. With no time to lose, he got out of his bed and went straight to the bathroom.

Splendid took a quick shower, dried himself out, and put on a fancy suit. He adjusted his tie in the mirror while contemplating over what he should eat. He exited the bathroom to only check the time once again, "8:45? Damn it, no time for breakfast then." He quickly decided as he grabbed what he needed for work and went to start-up his car and left the house.

"Splendid, you're late," said his boss.

"Yeah, so sorry about that. I overslept by accident. Won't happen again, sir. Promise."

"You're lucky you have a good reputation around here, or else you'll be looking for a new job." His boss paused to put away some papers in his drawer, " I'll let this slide for now."

"Thank you, sir!" Splendid humbly took the kindness.

"No problem. Just go back to work now, you got some work to do." Just like that, Splendid got out of his boss's office and went to his work space.

He tried not to get bored organizing paperwork, or typing up a report, or deciding which story would appeal to the audience. Splendid just wished for a change to happen in his life, but it wasn't like it was going to mystically appear out of thin air and boom, life changed... it doesn't work that way.

He brushed his hand through his hair and let out a light sigh as he finished early on his work even if he came late. The boredom was twice as heavier on his head as he tried to not fall asleep. He looked out the window that was nearby his work area and watched as ample people walk around. He thought about how different and similar his life was to each person as he watched their happy and cheerful facial expressions. It depressed him on how many differences there was between the both of them than there was similarities.

The ones his eyes could not simply look at for only five seconds were: couples. He watched them with his eyes; happy couples, hand-in-hand, smiling faces plastered on the front side of their head as if they were mocking him. He loathed the fact that he was alone and has had no one to truly love him for just being him. He was jealous in every couple he spotted. He reflected off of them, concluding to the fact: that he was alone.

With nothing better to do, he asked to get off of work early; his boss checked his work and gave him the permission to leave early. Splendid packed his stuff and went straight into the men's bathroom. Inside a stall, he unlocked his suitcase and took out a clean pair of dark blue skinny's, a light blue shirt, and his favorite red scarf with cut-out eye holes. He used the scarf as a mask to give him that mysterious lifestyle whenever people looked at him. He changed quickly and exited the bathroom and out the doors of the building as a new man.

Feeling quenched, he got in his car to go to the closest coffee shop. Once he got there, he ordered a french vanilla latte to bolster his senses. He grabbed his drink once it was prepared and paid. He sat down at one of the tables to enjoy his beverage. His table was right next to the entrance so he was stuck watching a variety of people walk in and out of the shop to obtain their beverages. Then there was this one customer that really caught Splendid's attention out of the many that came in; a guy with light green hair walked through the door dressed in an army uniform, complete with a camouflage beret and a checkered crest directly placed in the middle.

He heard the army fellow order something and sat at a chair that was two tables away from him. I swear I have met him before, somewhere, I just don't know where, Splendid thought as he observed him carefully. Splendid was fascinated by the way the fellow was so timid around his surroundings, almost as if he was scared and alone. The green hair man played with his fingers as he impatiently awaited his drink. "Flippy! Come by the pick-up counter," the woman in a apron called out. The same army guy got up from his sedentary position to retrieve his drink and went right back to his seat, enjoying each sip he took of his beverage as it cascaded down his throat.

"Flippy." Splendid mumbled to himself as he kept his eye on his mysterious interest. He doesn't know what the man possesses, but he was most intrigued by him. Splendid decided that he rarely had any friends, so what better way to make some more friends than to friend someone who is similar to you? He got up from his table took a seat directly across from Flippy, which startled Flippy at first but regained his senses and kept a close eye on Splendid.

With a light smile, Splendid broke the ice, "Hi, I'm Splendid."

"H-He-Hello... My name is F-Flippy." He shot out his hand and shut his eyes tightly as if someone was about to hurt him. Splendid kindly shook his hand and began continuing the conversation.

"Have we ever met before? Felt like I've seen you from somewhere, but not too sure."

"Not r-really. This is actually the first time I have met you... Splendid, was it?"

"Yeah, you got it. I guess I was just bonkers for a moment." Flippy faintly chuckled to Splendid's comment, this made the blue hair boy feel like he's gotten through to the other male.

"I should probably leave now. I enjoyed our little chat, Mr-"

"Just call me Splendid." He interrupted the army fellow.

"Splendid. I really have to go now, thanks for the quick entertainment," and just like that, Flippy went off. Splendid wanted to follow or at least get his number if he kept a phone on him. All Splendid knew was that he wanted to meet this guy again.


Anyone enjoying the story so far? Anyone hating it? Anyone bored of it? Tell me in a review! Those really tell me if I should continue writing this or stop it all. Sorry if it wasn't really interesting though, it's only the first chapter and I didn't feel like giving out the whole story in just one chapter... I'll update immediately when I get reviews, unless those reviews were bad, then I just delete the whole darn thing. Enjoy your time (wherever you are) and good day! Thanks for viewing!
