"You're the only goof i see Avocato."
"Oh really because i see the king of the goofs right in front of me."
"Oh really, same here and his name is.."
"Gary." Avocato said.
"Avocato." Gary said.
They both stared at each other then laughed then they made a toast.
"To friendship." avocato said.
"Y...yeah." Gary said Avocato not picking up on the fact that Gary didn't seem quite that happy to say that they would be friends forever since Gary had a minor crush on Avocato.
"You ok Gary? you seem like you're in a whole other world."
"Huh? oh I'm fine just curious about something."
"And what would that be?"
"Just trying to figure out who you have a crush on."
Avocato spat his drink out blushing.
"You walk around the ship having love in your eyes ever since we got back."
"No one, I..i mean i don't have a crush on anyone." Avocato said blushing which made Gary raise an eyebrow.
"I know you do, you should know that I support you no matter what."
"Whatever, so anything else you wanna talk about Gary."
"No, not in particular, anything you want to talk about?"
"Actually now that we're on the topic of actually crushes, how's things going with Quinn?"
"W..we dated for a while but things didn't work out so we broke up."
"I'm sorry Gary."
"It's okay, technically it was my fault since halfway through the relationship I realised that I had feelings for someone else."
"And that someone is...?"
Gary panicked slightly and blurted out someones name quickly.
"KVN!"
"I'm not that stupid Gary, tell me who it really is. "
"Ok ok, I met a beautiful girl who's ship was crashing but I got Hue to come and fly by her ship so I could rescue her."
"Oh yeah? where's she now?"
"A..ah um she...she's getting supplies yeah that's it."
"Look you're obviously lying so please for the love of god-"
"I like you!!!"
Gary said panting then he looked into Avocatos eyes and they were full of surprise.
"Since when?"
"I don't know how long I've had the feeling for ,but I realised my feelings after you were gone, it was a hard time for all of the crew but mainly for me and Little Avocato, Little Avocato refused to allow anyone in and I..well I went through a lot but I always had hope that you weren't dead and I'm glad you're not dead"
"As if I'd die so easily"
"Yeah"
Gary hugged Avocato closely and Avocato smiled.
"So I'm your crush?" avocato asked cheekily.
"Yeah." Gary said blushing.
"Well that's a good thing."
"Hmm?"
"It's a good thing that I'm your crush since well, you were mine." Avocato said blushing while smiling which made Gary hug Avocato more.
"Then please go out with me Avocato."
Avocato chuckled.
"Sure thing Captain, sure thing."
They hugged a bit longer until others started to wake up.
"Gary?...Avocato.? what are you two doing up so early?" Quinn asked.
"Just talking about something." gary replied smiling at Avocato.
Then Little Cato got up because KVN was being annoying and waking everyone up.
"Dad...Gary what's got you two up so early?"
"Gary and me where just talking about private business." Avocato said.
"What type of business?" Cato asked tired rubbing his eyes.
"Just stupid things like crushes and other stuff." Gary replied.
"Dad do you have a crush?" Cato asked.
"Yeah I do." he said looking at Gary.
"Who is it?"
"I'll tell you when you're older but as of right now, you're too young to understand."
Cato sighed and gave up and once Gary and Avocato got KVN to shut up everyone but Quinn went back to bed.
"You know Avocato that you could probably do much better than him, trust me it won't work out in the end." Quinn said.
"The only reason that it didn't work out with you and Gary was because he realised that he had feelings for me."
"Yeah but how long until he gets feelings for another and then leaves you."
"I'll make sure that that won't happen."
"You'll see."
Avocato grabbed Gary's hand and took him to the other side of the ship to relax away from Quinn.
"God I hate her, what did you even see in her?"
"I..i don't know, she was pretty I guess but I care more about kindness and bravery and loyalty now more than looks but I got lucky and got a partner with all 4 traits."
"I love you Gary."
"I love you too Avocato."
Avocato kissed Gary's lips and Gary blushed and kissed back.
"By the way Avocato."
"Yeah?"
"Happy birthday" Gary gave Avocato a gard were he confessed his feelings to Avocato "I already confessed but I thought that you'd like to have this."
Avocato opened it up and read it and then blushed smiling.
"I love it"
