Turbo had, eventually, laid back down and fell asleep. Their hands were still interlocked the entire time they slept.
They slept for three hours, careless about how long they slept anyways. The next day was a Sunday, and the arcade was closed on Sundays. The two game characters awoke to Nitro and Booster standing over them, silently signing to each other with grins.
Turbo shot up, instantly letting go of Felix's hand, which fell limply to the bed as he gradually woke up with a yawn.
"What are you two losers doing in here?! Get out!" Turbo hissed through his yellowed teeth, eyes darkening.
Booster staggered with silent laughter, signing something right towards the pair before darting out right beside Nitro.
Felix was sitting up now, glancing at Turbo with a confused look. "What did he say?" He politely asked, rubbing his eyes. The grey skinned male had a dark flush on his cheeks, from anger and embarrassment.
"…'Have fun with your boyfriend'…" Turbo ground out, clenching his fists in and out.
Felix flushed as well. He seemed to have forgotten the few hours before. "O-Oh my land! Why would he say that now?"
Turbo looked at him with bewilderment… And somewhat hurt? He shifted uncomfortably and snorted. "Because they're assholes, that's why. They're always bitter because I'm the Turbotastic one and they aren't…" His voice quieted. "And because I always win."
Felix blinked his tiresome eyes and deeply sighed, rubbing Turbo's back affectionately. "Now, friend… There's no need to use that language against them." He leaned to look directly at him, but for some reason Turbo averted his gaze.
"Turbo?," Felix started with a quiet tone. "Did I say something to bother you?"
It was quiet for a few daring seconds, before he finally replied with: "Fix-it?… Do you even remember what you told me before you fell asleep?"
"Well…" Felix rubbed the back of his neck with a gloved hand and a concentrated perk of a smile. "Can't say that I do, neighbor." He paused. "Why? Did I say something unique that you'd like me to remember?"
"You told me that you love me."
There was no hesitation to his words, no pause before, it was a straight up truthfulness that showed in his pained expression as well. Felix blinked, attempting to recall the situation. Suddenly he spoke again, nearly silently. "I… did, didn't I?…" He chuckled and wrung his hands together nervously with a deep flush that dusted his cheeks, ears and nose the same. "Welp… I guess I confessed unknowingly!" Felix smiled, humoring the situation.
Turbo looked him over wearily before tossing his arms around him in a tight embrace. Felix made a small noise and slowly slipped his arms around his middle. "Turbo…" He chuckled, "What are y-" Felix's sentence was cut off, for Turbo had moved back and kissed him gently on the lips.
The move surprised them both, but neither showed rejection. Felix relaxed and kissed him on the cheek in return, grabbing his hand again.
Turbo raised his eyebrows and gave a yellowed smile, gently nudging his helmet against Felix's forehead.
"In my game, that's a sign of affection."
Felix gave a little breath of a laugh, and nudged his forehead against the helmet in return, plopping his hat back atop his head.
"Neat! I'll take note, friend-" He stopped just a bit short.
Turbo finally got it and shrugged up his shoulders "Boyfriend?…" He offered.
Felix grinned and felt his cheeks flush lightly. "I'll take note, boyfriend." He whispered goofily, pecking his cheek.
