AN: Been a while since I updated this fic, figured I could give you guys a bone. ; u; I hope you enjoy, this was written when I was pretty tired but couldn't sleep. I don't know what's wrong, I just can't seem to stay still right now.
Chapter Seven: Everybody's Fool ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was in the way they gazed at each other during meals, the way that Richie's laser always trailed after Weylon during rounds of fighting so that he may protect the scout. Everyone had a fairly good idea of what they were doing, but it seemed the two involved had no idea what was going on beneath the surface of their "Friends With Benefits" relationship. It was the talk of the BLU base, that those two needed to stop pussyfooting around it and just admit they were in love.
During a break, when Weylon went back to Boston to spend time with his family and Richie was in Australia to do the same, was when it finally seemed to come out.
"I… I love ya, man." The scout told the elder, the phone cord wrapped around his finger as he leaned against the wall, "It's stupid, I know…"
"It's not stupid, Roo." Came the soft reply, "I miss you, too. Love you." He added the last bit quite a lot quieter, "Can't wait to kiss you again."
"Kiss me through the phone?" The offer sounded even more stupid that his mushy feelings. Even still, he was delighted when the other made a few kissy noises for him, and he reciprocated, unknowing that Hugo was watching him from the doorway to the kitchen. This would be an interesting night.
