Splendid's POV

I enjoyed annoying Flippy. Ever since what he did to me in the day, revenge is the only thing I have in my mind when I think of him. As the soldier and I talked, Flaky stood and Flippy supported her.
"Flippy, I'm fine... The blood just splat on to me," she explained, taking his arm. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous at their sudden closeness. I cleared my voice, distracting them from gazing into each other's eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Flippy said, annoying in his voice.
"I told you," I replied, snatching the girl away from him, "I came to see how she was doing,"
"Well, you've seen her and she's fine with me!" he spluttered out in hatred. I'd chuckle and kiss her cheek. Delight filled my eyes as I witnessed him twitch on annoyance.
"I'll be checking up on you, Flaky!" I exclaimed. As I walked away, I couldn't help but secretly smirk.

Flippy's POV

I was glad when he left, now it's just me and Flaky, alone. I need to tell her about her past. She needs to know, but something tells me that it's too soon, so I stopped myself before I could start talking.
"I'll drive you home," I smiled, gently holding her hand. I loved seeing her blush, she just looked so cute!
"I-I can walk," she replied, smiling sweetly as she took out her map.
"Nah, it's fine," I reassured her, quickly taking out my own map. She finally agreed and showed me where her house is.

As we drove to her house, Flaky didn't try to make any conversation. She just gazed out the window, sadly.
"You okay?" I asked
"Y-Yeah... I just, miss my old town... I know no one here... I feel kinda lonesome..." she sighed, "but you don't have to worry! I'll meet others soon!"
She brightened up the street with her smile and happiness. It impressed me how quickly she recovered, as if she ran out of the dumps and refused to look back.
"Okay!" I chuckled, smiling a lot. But of course, my happiness didn't last long. We arrived at her house so quickly, too quickly. I wanted to talk to her more, just her and me, no one else.
"Would you like to have lunch with me?" she suddenly asked, grinning excitedly at me.
"If it's alright with you..." I said nervously.
"It's no trouble at all!" I exclaimed, hugging me as we arrive at her gate, "besides, it's a thank you for caring so much for me!"
I hugged her back, blushing like a maniac. Luckily, the burning feeling in my cheeks died down before she even noticed. We entered her room and she pushes me down onto the sofa. I couldn't help but blush again.
"You relax here and I'll make lunch! Sorry my house is a mess, by the way!" she apologized, giggling nervously.
"It's okay, Flaky!" I said, watching her as she entered the kitchen. Before she went in, she handed me the TV Remote so I wouldn't be bored, and when I turned it on, a war movie came up. I changed it as soon as I caught sight of it. My head felt dizzy again, but I just shook it off. I intended on not flipping today.

After a while, Flaky brought in some nice-smelling spaghetti and invited me to sit next to her on the table.
"Wow! It's delicious!" I praised as I stuffed a fork full in my mouth.
"Thanks!" she explained. I can tell she was very pleased about her cooking. After we ate, Flaky suggested we watch a movie. We watched endless movies! From Home Alone to Friends Season 1. I didn't want to leave and she didn't want me too. When we finished watching Harry Potter, it was already midnight.
"Well, I guess I need to g-"
"It's already late... Maybe you could stay the night!" she suggested. My cheeks burnt as if they were on fire. I must be blushing extremely hard because she was giggling.
"Oh come on! Two best friends having a slumber party is perfectly normal!"
"O-Okay..." I mumbled, cheeks still burning.
"I'll sleep on the sof-"
"Oh no! I'll sleep on the sofa. It's the least I can do!" I interrupted.
"Hmm... Nope! I love sleeping on the sofa! You can sleep on my bed!" she assured me, looking at me with her incredibly cute puppy-dog-eyes.
"But..."
"Oh, it's fine!" she said, poking my cheeks repeatedly. I caught her hands and started tickling her.
"Flippy!" she laughed, collapsing on the sofa, "S-Stop!"

Flaky's POV

I lay on my couch, wide awake. I couldn't sleep. Some part of me wanted him to hold me. We had so much fun tonight I didn't want it to stop. I climb out of the sofa and walk to my room. Nervously, I opened the door to find him sitting up wide awake. He smiled at me and I shuffled into the bed with him.
"I thought you'd be asleep by now, Flippy.." I noted, my voice faded into a whisper.
"I hardly sleep..." he sighed,sinking back under the covers. I lay down and snuggled up to him, smiling. He closed his eyes. I waited until he fell asleep. Before I knew it, I fell asleep holding him in my arms and him holding me.
