I'm SO sorry you guys! :( As I told you before school's killing me! X(
It took me soooo long to finish this! My inspiration have been weak as well... And uh, I know this chapter is kind of short (plus I don't like it -.-') but I felt so guilty for not updating in a while so I simply had to. D:
Love ya all! ^w^
"Pear, can I ask ya somethin'?" Nutty asks while chewing on a syrup covered waffle.
"Yes, of course." Lifty answers not even sure what the squirrel asked him.
Nutty swallows before proceeding.
"Ya're ashamed of me, aren't ya? I mean, I know ya don't wanna get beaten up n' stuff like that...but ya didn't act like this when we were only friends. So why ya startin' now all of a sudden?"
Lifty's heart almost stop beating when the squirrel asks that. How can Nutty even think he's ashamed?
Well, it's somewhat true but to admit it makes Lifty feel like a jerk and he don't like the feeling of that.
"No, no! Of course not! It's just...people may think it's a little...um..." Lifty tries to find the proper word to explain it.
Nutty's ears are dropped while he's eying Lifty.
"Queer?" The squirrel mutters with a monotone voice with his arms crossed. He gives Lifty an unamused glance.
"Well, kind of..." Lifty scratches the back of his head during an awkward silence.
"Lifty, even I know we can't live like this!"
"I know but..." Lifty frowns. The look on Nutty's face is heartbreaking for the raccoon to watch.
"I wish ya weren't ashamed of me." Nutty whimpers before Lifty can defend himself.
Lifty hesitates for a moment and takes a look around. At least there isn't anyone in here who's strong or mean enough to beat them up.
'I must be crazy...' He thinks.
The raccoon takes a deep breath, sure that he's going to regret this later. He then takes Nutty's hands in his and leans forward to kiss him. It's so pleasant to feel those soft lips of the only one who truly loves him.
They're getting a little carried away by the moment but Lifty snaps out of it after a few seconds and ends the kiss with a muffled snicker.
"There, I kissed you in public. You happy now, sweetie?" Slightly smiling, slightly blushing Lifty takes a paper tissue and clean his mouth up from syrup.
Nutty seem to be surprised but pleased. He opens his mouth to say something but...
"Oh my gosh! You're, like, totally together or something?" A giggly, very high pitched (even for a girl) female voice, that reminds of Betty Boop's, gasps right next to them. The both males looks surprised by the sudden appearance of the styled, pink chipmunk who wears a big red bow on top of her head. She's blushing at the scene.
"That's, like, so cute! I've always known there was, like, something between the two of you!"
"...Wah?" Nutty says. Giving the girl named Giggles a confused look.
"Like, totally sweet and stuff!" She squeals.
Lifty covers his face with his palms. He knew this was a bad idea, he felt it in his stomach.
Petunia, who's a very close friend of Giggles, walks up to the table with a cup of coffee. She hands it to Giggles and sighs.
"Here's your coffee, Giggles. And don't scare them now." The skunk tells the other girl.
Giggles smiles and takes a sip from the coffee.
Petunia turns to the boys. Lifty looks away as soon as he hears her voice.
"Hi guys, how's it going? Long time no see." She says with that smooth voice of hers.
"Hi, Petunia." Nutty smiles.
Lifty glances at the clock on the wall. 08:54 am. Maybe he can make up an excuse to leave now, before even more people want to talk.
"I got to go now, I need to go to school early!" Lifty rises and waves to Flaky to come over.
The porcupine looks scared as usual. Lifty gives her some money and mumbles
"Keep the change!"
He's moving so quickly Flaky shrinks at his movements.
He exits the doors and leaves the others with confused expressions on their faces. Soon he comes back and hands Flaky her wallet. No one even noticed that he took it.
"Sorry...old habit..." He mumbles very quietly. He then turns around and walks through the doors again.
