Skipper pushed open the door, and walked in. Wow! he thought, They- I mean I put alot of effort into this.

Private gasped, the decorations were perfect. In the midle of the room was a table with a white table cloth. On the table were two plates oposite of each other and small vase with a single rose in it. Around the table was rose petals shaped in a heart. Hung above the table were pink glittery hearts. On the otherside of the room was a boom box that was playing only one song.

"May I take you to your seat?" Skipper asked holding out his flipper.

"Yes, please.." Private said, before slowly taking Skipper's flipper.

Skipper led him to his seat and helped him into it. He then he went over to his seat and sat down. He looked down at his plate and smiled, "Looks like we're having sushi for dinner."

"Yea.." Private said nervously, "Would you call this a date?" he blurted out.

Skipper, who had shoved a piece of sushi in his mouth, swallowed quickly, "A d-date? Uh.. yes.."

Private blushed, "I like the thought of being on a date with you.."

"Me too.." Skipper replied smiling.

Private began eating his sushi slowly, "Uh.. Skippah can I ask you something?"

"Sure, you can ask me anything.."

"A soldier has a crush on his comandor and he wants to tell him but he's not sure if it's just puppy love or real love, what should he do?"

"If he felt that the love was real, he should tell him."

"It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe"

Private nodded, while he looked down at his plate. He could barely breath right now. Should I tell him? he thought looking up, His smile..

"Caught up in your smile"

Come on Skipper! Tell him something! "Uh.. Private can I tell you something?"

"Yes.." Private said smiling.

"I've never opened up to anyone"

"I've always acted like the tough and strong one, but the truth is.. I'm not, I'm scared of everything. Needles scare me! Needles! Who is scared of needles?!" Skipper sighed, "I'm scared of.. getting my heart broken.. I always try not to fall in love, but.. a certain someone captured my heart.." What?! You idiot! That was the wrong thing to say!

"Oh Skippah," Private said standing up, "I never thought you felt that way.."

Skipper shook his head, "I never told anyone.." he stood up and held out his flipper, "D-do you wanna dance?"

"Of course I do.." Private said letting Skipper lead him to the dance-floor.

Skipper pulled Private close, as they began to slow dance.

Private layed his head on Skipper's chest, and closed his eyes. He listened to Skipper's heartbeat.

"So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms"

Tell him.. He needs to know.. Skipper thought, He's everything to me, he needs to know that..

I wish this will never end, Private thought smiling, Just kiss me please..

"Private can I tell you something?"

Private pulled back to look into Skipper's eyes, "Of course you can.."

"For weeks I wanted to tell you.." Skipper blushed, "I-I... I..." Just tell him! he thought, He will feel the same! "I... I love you..."

"Skippah..." Private whispered, tears coming to his eyes, "I feel the same!"

Skipper smiled, "Then, let me do what I wanted to do for a long time.." he pushed his beak against Private's and pulled him close, not wanting to let go.

"Oh, Skippah.." Private moaned.


Skipper and Private walked into HQ holding flippers. "Hey Skipper! Hey Private!" Kowalski greeted them, then seeing their flippers he grinned, "Ooh, what you two been doing?" he chuckled.

Skipper grinned, "Well," he looked at Private, "it's official, I have a cute, adorable boyfriend.." he nuzzled Private to prove his point.

Private giggled, "Skippah, don't do this in front of him.." he paused, "And besides I'm not cute.."

Skipper gasped, "How can you say that? You are the cutest penguin I know!"

"What about Manfredi?" Private whispered.

Kowalski gasped, before running to his lab, not wanting to be apart of it.

"Manfredi?" Skipper asked, "Compared to you he is nothing.."

Private looked up into Skipper's eyes, "Do you mean that?" he asked uncertainly.

"Of course I do.." Skipper said sincerely, "He isn't as important to me as you are.."

Private blushed, "I'm important?" he smiled, "Skippah.. I want you to know.. your important to me too.."

Skipper nuzzeled Private again, "Hey.." he whispered, "You wanna cuddle?"

Private nodded blushing, "Maybe.."

Skipper took Private's flipper and led him to his bunk, where Skipper held Private in his arms. Private layed his head on Skipper's chest and closed his eyes. Soon he fell into a deep sleep.


Weeks later in the winter, Private and Skipper took a walk through the park. Snow covered the ground like a white blanket.

Private had a red scarf around his neck, while Skipper had a blue one. They walked flipper in flipper, just listening to the stillness of the world and the crunch of the snow under their webeded feet.

Skipper pulled his flipper away and wrapped it around Private, pulling him close. He grinned. "You cold?"

Private smiled. "A little.." he paused, "Are you?"

"Me?!" Skipper gasped dramacticly, "Of course not! I never get cold.." he grinned, "Not when you're around.."

Private blushed, "Oh Skippy, you know that's not true.."

"Oh, it's true," he grinned, "And I thought I told you not to call me that?"

"Okay I'll stop," Private grinned, "Skippy!"

"That's it!" Skipper yelled as he began chasing Private through the park.

Private laughed all the way, untill he stopped to catch his breath by a great oak. He froze as someone wrapped their flippers around his waist. He turned to see who it was, he relaxed seeing it was Skipper.

Skipper kissed Private's neck -causing Private to moan- before whispering, "No one runs from Skippy," he grinned, "Okay, Cuddly?"

"I won't Skippah," Private whispered nervously, "I'm sorry.." tears streamed down his cheeks.

"Oh Private," Skipper pulled him closer, "I wasn't serious.."

"Oh.." Private muttered, wipeing away his tears, "Why did you call me Cuddly?"

"Because you are," Skipper squeezed Private, "I could lay with you in my flippers all night.." he blushed realizing how wierd that sounded, "Because you are soft and small, perfect to sleep with!" He blushed again, it sounded wierder, "I..I should stop talking now.."

Private giggled, "Who's getting tongue-tied now?"

Skipper blushed, "Very funny.." he went back to that time;

Private walked nervously over to Skipper. "Uh Skippah,"

Skipper looked at Private and smiled, "What's up?"

"Well.." Private looked down at his feet, "After our date, you called me your boyfriend.. and I thought we weren't actually dating, we just went on a date and-"

Skipper interupted, "Private please get to the point."

"I wanted to know, if you wanted to.. You know to get busy," Skipper's eyes widened, and Private quickly said, "I don't mean being in a room alone, and doing certain things.." he blushed at the thought of it, "What I meant was, if you wanted to become bros, not like brothers, I meant-"

Skipper interupted again, "You don't have to be tongue-tied, you can tell me anything."

"Okay.. I was wondering if you wanted to.. be my boyfriend.." Private looked up nervously. Even though he knew Skipper loved him, he was still scared that Skipper would say no.

"Hmm.." Skipper paused to think, he caught Private's eye, and smiled, "Of course I do!"

Private jumped forward wrapping his flippers around Skipper, "I'm happy that you said yes.." he whispered.

Skipper acepted the hug, and whispered back, "I'm happy.. to be with you.."

Skipper snapped back to reality, as Private leaned in to kiss him. "Not so fast," He said putting his flipper up. Private sighed dejectedly. Skipper continued, "You can't just kiss me, when I'm-" He was interupted by Private crashing his beak against Skipper's. Skipper closed his eyes and joined in. He wrapped his flippers around Private's waist, while Private wrapped his flippers around Skipper's neck.

Private gripped Skipper tight and allowed him to pick him up. With his legs being held up by Skipper's flippers, Private was pushed against the tree and their kissing became fierce.

Skipper pulled back. He ripped off Private's scarf, and started kissing his neck. Private moaned, and his grip around Skipper's neck tightened.

Skipper kissed along Private's neck, kissed his cheek, then pushed his beak against Private's. He shoved his tongue inside, and began thrashing about.

Private's eyes widened. This was so new to him! He and Skipper never done this before! French kissing? he thought panicedly, What do I do? He quickly did what he thought he was supposed to do; he used his tongue to attack the invador.

Skipper slowly brought this to the ground. He climbed ontop of Private and continued the make-out session. He began to touch Private everywhere gently with his flippers.

Private melted under his touch.

Skipper pulled back and looked down at Private. He moved his flippers, untill they were on Private's stomache.

Private looked at them nervously.

Skipper slowly moved his flipper downward, Private quickly stopped him.

"I'm not ready for that, Skippah.." he whispered.

Skipper nodded. He sighed, Did I just really ruin the mood? he thought, Am I that much of an idiot?

"Uh Skippah.." Private muttered, snapping Skipper out of his thoughts, "We can continue.. if you want.."

Skipper smiled at Private's cuteness. He cupped Private's cheek, and began caressing it. "Private I have an order for you." He said sternly.

Private's heart sank, I'm in trouble! he thought, What did I do? "W-what is it S-Skippah?" he asked stuttering nervously.

Skipper smiled, "Don't stop being cute!"

Private's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled, "I promise! I cross my heart," he crossed his heart, "hope to fly," he flapped his flippers like a bird, "stick a cupcake in my eye!" he covered his left eye, ending his promise.

Skipper laughed, "Where did you get that? 'The Lunacorns'?"

Private blushed, "My Little Pony.." he muttered.

Skipper tilted his head, "What was that?"

Private muttered it again, "My Little Pony."

Skipper sighed. He leaned close, and removed his flipper from Private's cheek. Their beaks were an inch apart, "Let me explain something to you," he whispered kindly, "It doesn't mind me if you watch shows for kids. Look I know you're a kid. It's what kids do. And I'm fine with it. Don't be scared to tell me about the shows you watch."

"B-but Skippah, you always say you want me to be manly, and not-"

Skipper interupted, "I know I said that, but I never quite meant it. I always liked your cute and naive side. I don't want you to change that," he smiled, "I like it.."

Private's eyes filled with tears, "Oh Skippah.." he whispered, "Please tell me about what else you like.."

Skipper smiled, "What's not to like?" he paused, "I like how you blush when I compliment you." at this Private blushed, "I like how you dance. I like how you have your own calm song.."

"When you feel an anger wiggle, calm it with a jolly giggle!" Private sang out proudly.

"And when your blood starts to rise, hide it with a smile disguise!" Skipper sang off key.

"You sing wonderfuly Private.." Skipper said backing up, and sat criss-crossed in front of him.

Private sat up, also sitting criss-crossed. He wrapped his scarf back around his neck before saying, "I can't sing Skippah.."

"Don't say that.." Skipper took Private's flipper in his, "Never bring yourself down like that.."

Private nodded, "I know I shoudn't Skippah, but.. I just don't feel important," he paused sadly, "Like I don't belong in the team!"

Skipper grabbed Private's scarf and yanked him forward roughly. "Do not SAY that!" He yelled.

Private squeaked in fear.

"I NEVER want to hear that come out of your mouth again! Understood?!"

Private whimpered.

"UNDERSTOOD?!"

"Yes.." Private whispered before bursting out in tears.

Skipper pulled Private into his flippers. "Shh.." he whispered sweetly, "Don't cry.. I love you so much.. I never wanted to hear you say that.." he kissed Private on the forehead, "You are very important to this team and I-"

Private snored, interupting Skipper.

Skipper's eyes widened, He fell asleep? he thought, Well, I don't want to wake him, so.. He leaned back against the tree. His eyelids began to droop. He fell into a deep sleep full of dreams with Private and.. rainbows.
