This is the last chapter. I've got something else on my mind. Sorry.

Narrator POV

Everyone is done in D-Tent is done with their hole.

They're all in the wreck room while Squid and Zigzag are at the tiny cabin.

Zigzag had never ever felt more alive than now.

He had let Squid be top.

He didn't know Squid could be this erotic.

There may have been that one last time, but he was a whole different person.

"A-Alan." Zigzag said heaving.

Zigzag was red as hell.

Squid stopped kissing his neck and looked him in the eyes.

"I..." Zigzag trailed off.

Zigzag waited for this moment a long time. He never knew when.

He didn't know if it was the right time, but he knew if he didn't do it now he would never say it.

"I want to be able to call you mine...in front of everyone. I don't want to be scared anymore."

Squid took his hands off Zigzag's shoulders.

He glared.

Zigzag didn't have a good feeling about this, but he knew he had to say it.

Now or never. Zigzag thought.

"I'm not afraid of what the others think."

Zigzag slowly put his hand on Squid's cheek.

"Be mine and I'll be yours."

Squid laid his hand on Zigzag's hand.

He was speechless. He leaned against Zigzag's chest.

Zigzag pat his head.

"I know this is very sudden but, please..?"

Squid looked up.

"Why..why now?" He asked.

Ricky's heart ached and it stung.

How could he ever explain this to Alan?

"I'm leaving in two weeks."

Sorry for the very, very short chapter. Sorry I left ya'll hanging like that too, lmao.
