A.N. I couldn't find that many TyXNaomi stories, so I wrote one of my own. This is supposed to be like a series finale, or at least what might happened if the founders are going to do a third season and a finale instead of ending the series without any closure. I hate that.
It was now around a year after the series had ended, specifically Valentine's Day. Ty and Abby were at school and Ty was wondering whether to give his Valentine card for Naomi anonymously or directly.
"I would like to see her reaction to my card, yet I'm scared that she'll turn me down." Ty aid to Abby as they walked to their next class.
"Oh for...look, if it's such a big deal how about I deliver your card for you?" Abby suggested, a little annoyed.
Abby was annoyed because it had been around two years since Ty started liking Naomi and he still hadn't been able to admit his feelings to her. Not only that, but Abby didn't understand how Ty couldn't see how much Naomi liked him. After all Naomi did do most of the asking when it came to hanging out, and she said yes when Ty first asked her out last year.
"No, I don't want Naomi to think of me as a coward." Ty shook his head.
"Well you are acting like one." Abby retorted with a 'sisterly-tease' sort of smile.
"That's not the-hey!" Ty protested. "Abby this is not a good subject for any sibling teasing."
"Sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes." Abby smiled, a little apologetic.
"Well can you please help yourself this time." Ty pleaded. "I'm having a hard enough time as it is without any of your comments."
Abby stopped walking when she saw in Ty's eyes how nervous he really was. Ty stopped too, wondering why she stopped.
"You're right, I'm sorry." Abby said sincerely, sympathetically placing a hand on his shoulder.
That was when she could feel Ty's heart pounding fast, he really was scared. She looked at him, stunned, and Ty sighed.
"I know, I'm almost petrified here." Ty hung his head.
"Okay, sisterly-teasing aside here, why?" Abby asked gently. "I know I've said some insults to you before, but I never meant any of them. You're a great guy Ty, you're smart, kind, and you can be generous and selfless at times."
"I know, I know, but what if Naomi doesn't see me that way romance-wise? What if she only sees me as a friend?" Ty sighed. "If she ever...*sigh*...Abby, I may be going way out on a limb, but...I believe Naomi's the one for me."
"Really?" Abby stared at him.
"Yes, I know my feelings for her aren't a crush." Ty started to look sad. "The other boys' feelings for Paige are crushes, but Naomi...she's special. She's so kind and gentle and, to me, she's more beautiful than Paige could ever hope to be."
"Considering that female sumo wrestlers are more beautiful than Paige could ever hope to be..." Abby smirked.
"Abby I know you can never resist putting down Paige but not now." Ty interrupted.
"Right, sorry. Continue."
"As I was trying to say earlier, the truth is..." Ty stopped, what he was about to say was big secret, he never even wrote it down in a diary...well if he had one he wouldn't have wrote his secret down in it. "The truth is if she ever turned me down my heart would break."
"What?" Abby gasped; she knew Ty had strong feelings for Naomi but she had no idea that they were that strong. "Wait, do you mean metaphorically or literally?"
"Definitely metaphorically, but I also believe that it would happen literally." Ty said, looking sadder.
"But...doesn't a literal broken heart cause...?" Abby started to look sad too.
"Death." Ty nodded. "You see it isn't just the rejection I'm scared of, it's also the risk of leaving you and our parents and Grossology."
"Oh Ty...I had no idea." Abby hugged him. "You really love her that much?"
Ty nodded, trying to keep from crying.
"Then I'll do what I can to help." Abby smiled.
Ty smiled back.
"Thanks Abby."
"Oh, uh, I think now is a good time to tell her." Abby hinted.
"Why?" Ty frowned confused.
"Hi Ty, Abby." Naomi smiled from behind Ty.
Ty jumped around with a startled cry.
"Oh, sorry Ty I didn't mean to scare you." Naomi said apologetically.
"You...didn't...I..." Ty gasped, catching his breath. "It's just that, you've really developed a talent for being light on your feet." Ty smiled, starting to gain a little confidence. "You're definitely a natural dancer, it's just too bad I haven't been able to see you perform."
"Thanks Ty, that's really sweet." Naomi smiled before looking serious. "Listen, Ty, I've been thinking lately and...we need to talk."
Ty froze, feeling as if someone slightly stabbed his heart.
"Wh-what about?" Ty asked, losing what little confidence he had.
The bell rang.
"I'll tell you after school, how about we meet at the third bench from the entrance to the park?" Naomi suggested.
"Okay...see you there after school." Ty nodded.
All three of them then rushed for class. During class, Ty couldn't stop worrying about what Naomi wanted to talk to him about, but he managed to hide his feelings. He didn't fool Abby though.
After class, Ty stopped trying to hide his feelings and ended up looking miserable. Abby caught up with him and gave him a sympathetic look.
"Ty, I know you're worried about what Naomi wants to talk to you about but you have to meet her." Abby said.
"I know, I already promised." Ty groaned. "It's just...I didn't think I was going to die this soon..."
"Ty, stop it." Abby frowned sternly. "I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, and it might not even be what you think it is."
Her Grossometer buzzed.
"What is it Lab Rat?" Abby answered, opening her Grossometer.
"Lance Boil is invading the streets with this crazy looking machine." Lab Rat said, his rat Hermes on his shoulder as usual. "He hasn't hit anyone yet so I'm not sure what it does."
"Okay I'll be right there." Abby nodded.
"Whoa, wait, 'I'?" Lab Rat said, confused. "What happened to 'we'?"
"Ty's gonna be busy for a while." Abby explained.
"'Busy'? What could be so important that..." Lab Rat protested.
"Naomi wants to talk to me." Ty answered sadly.
"Ohhh...oh, major step here..." Lab Rat winked.
"Yeah if you count death as a major step in..."
"Ty!" Abby interrupted sternly. "Stop that!"
"'Death'?" Lab Rat gasped, shocked.
"Ty's...more in love with Naomi than we originally thought." Abby explained. "He believes that if she rejects him then his heart will break literally."
"Oh dear..." Lab Rat frowned. "Well Ty stressing over the matter can't be good for your heart either."
"True..." Ty sighed.
"Okay, Abby you go ahead and stop Boil. Ty...relax, I'm sure Naomi won't reject you. She might not be ready for a boyfriend yet but I doubt she'll reject you completely."
"Right." Abby and Ty both said; Abby determinedly and Ty unsurely.
He and Abby went their separate ways, and then Ty headed for the park. Since he was still worrying he walked a little slower than usual, but luckily the third bench wasn't too far away. When he neared the bench he saw that Naomi was already there sitting on it.
"Hi Ty." Naomi smiled, inviting him to sit next to her.
"Hi." Ty said sadly, sitting down.
Naomi noticed how sad and worried Ty looked and sighed.
"Look, Ty, I've been noticing how you act around me and had been wondering why." Naomi began. "Well, I think I've figured it out."
"Oh crud, she knows." Ty thought nervously.
"Ty...do you have a crush on me?" Naomi asked, ready to tell him why crushes were wrong.
"Well, sort of knows." Ty thought; then his heart made his mouth say something that completely horrified him: "Actually Naomi, I'm deeply in love with you."
Naomi looked at him, surprised, but Ty was far from surprised.
"YOU IDIOT." He screamed in his head. "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE POURED YOUR ENTIRE HEART OUT LIKE THAT, NOW YOUR HEART WILL LITERALLY BREAK FOR SURE! AW MAN!..."
His face reflected what he was feeling as he continued scolding himself, causing Naomi to become concerned.
"Ty? Ty!" Naomi tried to get his attention. "TY!"
She shook him roughly at that, finally snapping him out of it.
"Ty, relax, I'm...not going to reject you." Naomi smiled, a little shy.
"Huh?" Ty looked at her, confused.
"I...I'm in love with you too." Naomi blushed.
Ty dropped his mouth opened, happily surprised. His heart stopped hurting and pounding, and started to speed and feel lighter.
"You...you do?" Ty smiled.
"I have for a while, but I was too scared to tell you." Naomi admitted.
"You, scared...?" Ty was stunned with disbelief. "Naomi why would you be scared?"
"Because...I didn't know if anyone would love me." Naomi admitted. "You were the first guy to give me any attention."
That's the sad truth about most high schools folks: prejudism.
"I'm...shocked, I mean...I know the other guys have crushes on Paige but I thought at least three others would like you." Ty was confused.
"No, they're too busy trying to win Paige." Naomi frowned.
Now this wasn't completely true, some of the guys were dating some of the other girls. There were even at least two that liked Abby, who would be in the popular crowd if she cared about that sort of thing.
"Well, their loss." Ty smiled, gently turning her face towards his face. "You're much more beautiful than Paige."
"Really?" Naomi smiled, touched.
"You kidding? You're personality alone makes you look like a goddess." Ty grinned with sincerity.
"A goddess with glasses?" Naomi smirked teasingly; she never really hated her glasses, though she did find them bothersome during dance class.
"Oh forget that, physical looks aren't important." Ty chuckled, knowing that she was joking. "I only care about looks caused by personality."
Naomi hugged him, really touched.
"And that's why I fell in love with you." She smiled.
Ty hugged her back, and then after a minute let go.
"Truthfully, I was scared to admit my feelings for you." Ty admitted.
"You?" Naomi looked at him stunned. "Why would you be scared?"
"Because...because that's how strong my feelings for you are." Ty admitted. "Being without you is worse than anything else...even death."
Naomi dropped her mouth open, both shocked and even further in love with him.
"Oh Ty." Naomi smiled, emotional. "Believe me I would never leave you." Naomi said before kissing him on the cheek.
Ty's heart really speeded up this time, and he felt as if he were melting. He smiled, lovestruck, and he flopped back onto the bench as if he had just lost his skeleton (except he didn't flatten out of course).
"Wow, I don't think I'll be able to move for a while." Ty sighed happily.
"That's fine with me." Naomi smiled as she moved closer to him; she then lay her head over his heart and enjoyed it's beats.
They stayed like that for about five to seven minutes, and would've stayed longer if Ty's Grossometer hadn't buzzed.
"Oh for crying out loud..." Ty muttered. "Sorry Naomi I have to take this."
"It's okay." Naomi said, a little disappointed, as she let him get up.
Ty opened his Grossometer and altered it to cellphone mode.
"Abby, what is it?" Ty asked after walking a few feet away from the bench.
"Ty, I really need your help Boil's machine causes major acne trouble for people and I'm having a hard time stopping it by myself." Abby said over the screams of the people behind her.
"Okay I'll be there soon." Ty said before hanging up. "Sorry Naomi Abby really needs my help with this chore."
"It's okay, we still have tonight right?" Naomi winked.
"Ton...oh right!" Ty smiled, remembering that it's still Valentine's Day. "What would you like to do?"
"How about a movie and dinner at that fancy diner downtown." Naomi suggested. "I heard that the diner is doing a Valentine's Day special for couples."
"Sounds great, I'll call you once the chore is over." Ty grinned.
They hugged each other good-bye, and then Ty kissed Naomi on the cheek. Her heart skipped a beat as she smiled, lovestruck. As Ty ran off they then waved. Well, Ty was the one who really waved, Naomi's wave was a little weak on account of being lovestruck.
