As soon as Flippy saw the utter anger on Flaky's face, he knew he had been found out and was majorly screwed. He sighed and stood there as she walked up to him, Nutty close behind. He signaled with his hand for them to not shout and led them to the janitor's closest where Flaky and Nutty used to go to talk. Flaky sat down in a fold-out chair in the corner while Nutty and Flippy stayed standing on opposite sides of the room. As soon as Flippy shut the door of the room, Flaky exploded.
"You lied to Nutty! About us? What us?!"
Flippy held his hands defensively in front of his face as though he was afraid Flaky might hit him, "Flakes, I know you're upset, but I did this for a good reas-"
"D-Don't call me Flakes. I thought you were my f-friend."
"I am your friend, Flaky."
Just then Nutty chimed into their argument, "Then why did you lie to me?"
Flippy didn't even acknowledge the sugar addict said anything and instead keep his attention on the redhead before him, "Flaky, I'm sorry. But I couldn't lose you."
"You w-wouldn't have "lost" me if you hadn't t-tried to do this. Lying to me and my friends, b-betraying my trust. I can't forgive you, Flippy. I'm s-sorry. . ."
Then without any more words, Flaky grabbed Nutty's hand and the two walked out of the janitor's closest, leaving Flippy mouth open and at a loss for words as the door shut behind him.

Now they had to deal with Lammy. After all, she ended up believing Flippy's lies and Nutty knew it wouldn't be right for her to think he liked her like that when he didn't. Lammy was almost always in the library, so that's where they went. Flaky stayed behind in the hallway as Nutty sighed and walked through the library, passing shelves and shelves of books until he came to the table in the corner of the room. Lammy was sitting with a book, reading quietly and she looked up when she heard him walk up. When she saw Nutty, she smiled brightly.
"Hey, Nutty!"
Nutty returned the smile and sat down across from her, "Hey Lammy. I got to tell you something."
"Okay, shoot."
"I don't know what Flippy told you, but I don't like you. . .like that.
Lammy's smile was instantly wiped off her face, and she looked down, "Oh. . ."
Nutty sighed and nodded, "Flippy lied to you, just like he did to me. But we could still be friends if you'd like to."
"Sure, I'd love that!" Lammy said, her smile returning.
"Good! I'll see you later then, maybe during class" said Nutty, smiling back, and got up from the desk and walked away, waving goodbye to his new friend as Lammy smiled and waved back.

The school day had ended.
The classrooms and hallways were empty. Silence filled the normally loud and busy building. The only two souls in the entire building were Nutty and Flaky. They stayed after to help Handy clean up his classroom as the handicapped man really couldn't do much in the way of cleaning due to the problem of not having his hands.
After they cleaned up, Handy smiled, nodding his thanks and then left the building shortly before his students. Once more, Nutty and Flaky walked, hands intertwined together, down the school's long corridor. It took a bit longer to walk to Flaky's house, but they enjoyed the peace and quiet of their small town. Walking down some sidewalks they went past the park, busy with a local baseball game. The grass was soft beneath their shoes as they walked through a neighbor's yard to get to Flaky's home.
Flaky opened the door with her free hand and they both immediately walked over to the couch and flopped down, tired from their long yet quiet walk home. They sat up and looked at each other, tired smiles on their lips. No words went between them for a good five minutes before Nutty yawned and spoke up.
"This has been a crazy month, huh?"
"Y-Yea, it really has."
"I'm glad we got to be partners for the project. Huh, just imagine if we hadn't been paired up, I never would have gotten to do this."
"Do what?"
"This."
Nutty reached over, cupping Flaky's face gently in his hand. Flaky's heart pounded in her ribcage as Nutty leaned in closer and kissed her. The kiss was addicting and made Flaky feel like she was buzzing all over.
"This must be what a sugar high feels like for Nutty. . ."
They both wanted more though as Nutty's tongue scraped across her teeth, waiting for her to give it entrance. She did and his tongue swirled in her mouth. Nutty's tongue tasted like almost sweet, like chocolate. Nutty had wrapped his arms around her waist and was pulling her closer, deepening the kiss. Their tongue fought for dominance and soon Nutty had won the fight.
Reluctantly the pair broke the kiss, needing to breathe. They were both blushing hard, Flaky especially. Nutty hugged her tight and she returned the hug. Nutty whispered something in her ear that made her know everything was going to be good.
"I'm so glad I met you. . ."
Flaky smiled and whispered back, "I love you."
Nutty and Flaky kissed once more, before lying down on the couch, arms holding each other close and they fell asleep once again with a smile on their faces. For now, they had everything they needed.
They had each other.
