Oh god you guys don't know what I mean yet but it'll make sense later oh my stars otp!
Chapter 5: OTP, Stories Of A Slight Obsession
Natallia yawned and stretched. "Maaan, you sound tired." Remarked Bones next to her. "Was practicing my song all night.." The human responded tiredly. "But isn't it normal for you to stay up really late?" The dog asked. "All. Nighhhtt.." The blonde responded, getting more irritable by the second. "Wait, ALL NIGHT?' The annoyingly dense dog asked, finally catching on.
Just because you're kinda sorta really cute doesn't mean you can pester me like this while I'm tired..
"Yes." Natallia responded sleepily, patience wearing thin. "Like, seriously, ALL FREAKING NIGHT?" Bones asked in utter disbelief.
She snapped.
"YES, I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT PRACTICING SINGING A STUPID SONG ABOUT SHOWERING YOU DENSE FRICK!"
Well, okay, she expected that to be worse.
"I'm sorry it's just…" Bones was still in disbelief, a bit shocked from his calm friend snapping. "How does your face still look that good?"
If Natallia wasn't so tired, she'd be a lot less calm. However, the compliment didn't register.
"Whaddya mean?" Natallia asked. "Like.. your face doesn't have any bags or anything.. You look just like you do every other day.. How do you still look so nice, yip yip?"
Natallia gave him a look. "Isn't it obvious? After all this time, finally, I've become nocturnal." She deadpanned sarcastically. "No, seriously."
Natallia shrugged. "I have no clue. Maybe it's because I stay up so late so often, maybe it's because of genetics, maybe it's because I put glitter on my eyes this morning.." She yawned.
"... You put glitter on your eyes this morning?"
Natallia blinked. "Yeah. For the show. Glitter on my eyelids." Bones gave her a dumbfounded stare. She sighed. "It's a thing I've done since I was little. I take some of this sparkly clear lip gloss that I got, like, 15 things full of one year for my birthday, and I rub a little bit on my eyelids so they sparkle."
Bones continued to stare. "Uhhg, now that I say it out loud, yeah, I sound like a friggin' weirdo..
But I mean, hey, it makes my eyes extra sparkly. Yeah, it's kinda sticky, but that's okay."
Bones finally stopped staring at her and looked ahead of them. "Huh. Well, looks like we're almost back to your house."
Bones was walking Natallia home after a long day of singing a song about.. Romance.. Still sounded a bit off, Natallia didn't seem to much like a romantic type.
"Neat.." She responded, yawning. Bones was curious, so he asked. "Heeeeey, I never really thought of you as the romantic type, so what was up with singing that song out of nowhere?"
"Heh, well, I may not SEEM like it, but I've actually been crushing on a certain someone for, like, actually a couple years I think." Natallia responded, trying to recall how long she had lived in Lavryn, too sleepy to realize what an awful idea mentioning that could be.
Bones practically had stars in his eyes. "Wooooooooah, really? Who?"
Natallia yawned.
Now if she wasn't so incredibly tired, she definitely wouldn't have said the following. This was seriously one of the worst ideas she's ever had. Or maybe it wasn't. She was too tired to care.

"Yeah, no, I'm not saying who he is. However, let me describe him a bit. Literally everyone in the town knows I have a crush on him based on the looks on their faces after the show, and he's the only one who doesn't know because he's probably literally the most dense person on the freaking planet earth!"
Well, okay, that wasn't as bad as she thought it'd be. Even if she did call Bones the most dense person on the freaking planet earth.
…
"Yeah, no, I'm not saying who he is. However, let me describe him a bit. Literally everyone in the town knows I have a crush on him based on the looks on their faces after the show, and he's the only one who doesn't know because he's probably literally the most dense person on the y freaking planet earth!"
For a reason Bones didn't know, by the end if that rant Natallia was glaring right at him. She sighed and looked away.
"Well, looks like we're here, at the Mystery Sha- I MEAN MY HOOOUUSE.." Bones chuckled at the joke, knowing well of all the various knick-knacks Natallia hoarded in her home.
"Well, I guess I'll go home now while you take a nap." Bones told her. She seemed to perk up a bit. "But then I'll be bored when I wake up! I'll tell you what, howsabout we all hang out at my house in 3 hours once I've rested?"
Bones looked at her skeptically. "I'm not sure that a 3 hour long nap makes up for a night's worth of rest.."
"Aww, come on Bonesie, don't ya know me well enough to know that I'll only have a 2 hour and 45 minute long nap and just get drunk on Starbucks caramel frappuccinos for the remaining 15 minutes?" The human asked mischievously. "There's not even a Starbucks in Lavryn.."
"THAN I'M TAKIN' THE BUS TO THE CITYY!" Natallia yelled excitedly. Bones facepalmed. "Kay, I'll be there." He told her.
"YAAAY! Well, I'ma go pass out now, cya!" She said in a singsong voice, twirling back into her house. Bones sighed. "See you in 3 hours.." He muttered to himself, smiling as he left.
…
Bones walked up to the girl's house. He saw the lights on in the second story, so he knew she was awake. He let himself in.
…
Bones saw a lot of things when he walked into Natallia's kitchen on the second floor. He saw a caramel frappuccino from Starbucks on the table. He saw an exotic lamp in a corner.
He also heard a few things. A music video playing in the background, instead of the gold stereo playing "Cafe K.K." that he was used to. He heard quiet sniffling…
He saw his best friend, curled up into a ball, holding her tablet, in a red armchair, crying in a corner.
WHAT.
"Natallia? A-are you okay?" Bones asked. Already, worst case scenarios running through his mind.
A family member killed in a car crash.
Her pet dog (THE ANIMAL ONES, NOT THE VILLAGERS…) dying of old age.
Steven Universe being canceled.
(WARNING, STEVEN UNIVERSE SPOILERS)
The newest episode of Steven Universe coming out, and including the one thing Natallia feared most, Navy betraying the crystal gems (Currently, the episode "Room For Ruby" isn't out yet). Navy was always Natallia's favorite Ruby. Well, maybe it was Eyeball for a little bit after she episode where she almost stabbed Steven, but after just one glimpse of Navy in the leaks and Natallia's favorite homeworld Ruby had wedged her way back into the human's heart.
Uhh, wait, should I be concerned about spoilers?
Maybe some of you haven't seen the leak yet. Or maybe it's a promo? I don't know..
Okay, I'll go back and add a spoiler warning.
Okay, done, back to the story.
Natallia looked up at the dog. She sniffled again. "... Natallia?.."
She looked back down at the tablet screen. "I-it's.. It's just so cuuute!"
"What?" Bones asked confused.
"Lapidot OTP…"
Bones had an epiphany. The random music playing in the background instead of the usual "Cafe K.K.". The statement of "Lapidot OTP". She was looking at a Lapidot tribute on YouTube.
"Oh my god." He said, facepalming. "THEN WHY ARE YOU CRYING?!"
"Because i-it's so adorable.."
"YOU'RE CRYING BECAUSE IT'S CUTE?!"
"...yes…"
"...wow okay then, I was worried over nothing."
Sorry, not sorry. Lapidot OTP. Don't judge me XD ! More of the Musical Arc coming soon..
*Disclaimer, why do I even bother. You KNOW I don't own anything. Not Animal Crossing, or Starbucks, or Steven Universe, or Lapidot, or Gravity Falls, or Frozen. I forgot to mention Frozen in the last disclaimer. Like, do I really need to write this? Will people really sue me for writing a fanfiction? Will anyone really think I own any of this if I don't say I don't? Is this what the world has come to?
