Honeydew had gone away. Sjin had run off to his farm. Things were different but they stayed relatively the same for Sips and I. We sat together on the roof of the Jaffa factory just looking around. Maybe we expected to see our friends return to us, but it was an expectation that was far fetched.
He softly sighed next to me after what seemed like an eternity of silent bliss. "It's so strange, eh? It's so eerily peaceful."
"Yeah, it is." I agreed softly.
Shifting his position slightly, he turned to me. "Do you miss him?"
"He'll be back."
He rolled his eyes, "of course he will, but do you miss him?"
"maybe..." I answered, playfully. Turning to him too, I smiled. "Do you miss Sjin?"
His face grew bright red as he denied it almost immediately. "Of course not! Why would I miss that dumb dumb?"
I chuckled. "Is that so?" It was cute to see him flustered. "You know, everyone thinks you two are gay."
Redder, his face grew. "S-so! There's nothing wrong with being gay!"
"I know." He just kept getting cuter. "I'm just telling you what I've heard. If it makes you feel better, I thought you two would make a cute couple."
He coughed uncomfortably but he was flattered by my remark. "That definitely doesn't make me feel better, you idiot."
"Sure it doesn't."
We fell into silence until Sips composed himself again. "Speaking of that, are you and Honeydew a thing?"
I looked back into his normal white face and smiled. "No. I don't think so. He and I are more friends than anything. I mean, I've felt those feeling towards him but he... he probably doesn't feel that way."
"Oh..." His face showed slight disappointment. "Sorry to hear that."
"It's no big deal," I said, shrugging casually. "It's best not to worry about it."
"I see... Still, wouldn't it be easier if the people you loved, loved you back?"
"Are- Are you hitting on me?" I said, grinning like an idiot.
His face grew red once again. "O- of course not, you bastard!"
His reaction made me laugh so hard, I think everyone heard it. "Oh my Notch, that was the best face you just made! I think it almost killed me!" He glared at me as I wiped my happy tears. "I was only half joking, Sips. You belong to Sjin, right?" I think I almost killed him.
"You son of a bitch!"
