Thanks for the reviews everyone (from new followers to old!), you all are truly amazing by giving me such support and adsnadfjaf... Just thank you... I really appreciate it all. I hope my words didn't sound bland. *sigh* Alright then! On with the story! Oh, ManicMaddie, I didn't kill Flaky to punish Toothy in any way, though, I'm letting everything come together in future chapters (or at least trying to). I am trying to get the story to move forward so I needed **** (mysterious character) to kill Flaky... I'm not going to spoil everything~

The atmosphere lost all it's seriousness and Splendid was thinking he had to start another conversation between them. "You've been really sweet with me lately, especially after my girlfriend's death. I don't know how to thank you," Flippy announced, breaking the tension.
"Yeah, no problem. You would have done the same if that situation happened to me."
"Yes..." Flippy's green orbs went dim, focusing only on the floor.
A spark lit inside Splendid, he wanted to tell Flippy how he felt. However, it wasn't right to say anything about love around the green beret at a time like that. He thought hard about what he should do, putting the confessing aside. He could talk about flowers? Though, Splendid thought Flippy wouldn't find flowers as an interesting topic to converse about. Besides, flowers? That's a bizarre subject to begin with.
The couch adjusted to Splendid and Flippy's comfort, and they watched TV together. Almost as if they were a couple; man and man. Splendid shuddered to the thought of them being together. The blue hair didn't detest it, he just needed time to get use to the idea. His heart went skipping again when he caught Flippy observing his actions; like a child watching their idol on TV.
"Why do you keep staring at me like that? You're beginning to make me worry," Splendid's face went red as his words flew through Flippy's ears. The green beret smiled at the concerned fellow, only making Splendid blush to a dark shade of red. The velvet cheeks made Flippy chuckle to himself, however, he was actually finding them quite cute. The green beret wanted to caress the cheeks and see if the color will go to a darker shade, or lose all redness. He wanted to experiment.
"Will it be fine if I can do this?" Flippy asked while his hand touched the other man's cheek, giving it gentle strokes. His thumb rubbed circles around Splendid's lower jaw, carefully being soft and fragile with his touches. Call Flippy crazy, but he was starting to lose his mind. He was beginning to find the other man more appealing each second as time elapses over itself. His mind was filling itself with lustful thoughts and desires that may not be necessary at all.
"You're already doing what you asked without my consent, aren't you being cruel?" Splendid cooed. His eyes were yearning for the other man's touch, longing to embrace their bodies together. He had self-control, but it was crumbling down like a fort under attack. It wasn't long until Splendid decides to break the wall and betray all his morals. Without having to say words, Splendid leaned in close to Flippy and gave a small peck on the lips, then he realized what he was doing and stopped all further actions.
"I-I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... I... I'll go to the kitchen," Splendid panicked. Flippy didn't seem disturbed that he was kissed, he was the one who was loosening the tight bottle that Splendid kept concealed. The green beret figured out Splendid was falling in love with him. It still didn't bothered him, but it was how Splendid was hurting himself that made the army fellow worried.
No longer able to think things rationally, Flippy got out of the couch and followed Splendid into the kitchen. "Splendid, please, I know it may be sudden, but I'm starting to think I'm falling in love with you." The army lad stopped walking, "please forgive me, Flaky."
"You're what?" Splendid stared intensely at Flippy's face, like he's been crushed by a tree. The tears threaten to fall, but his eyes still didn't let them leave. Alas, he was close to letting it rain just for awhile, to release his emotions to ease the pain. His eyes still stayed cruel and kept the tears in place, his body couldn't betray him. Even if he wanted them to...
"Are you an idiot, Flippy?" Splendid's words choked up, "Your girlfriend just died and you're already moving on?" This time, Splendid was hurt just speaking aloud those words. 'You're terrible..." Splendid's voice lost all it's happiness, joy, hope. No one can move on that quickly, right? That's what Splendid thought. He thought everything was just wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
"Can't choose who we fall in love with, eh?" Flippy shrugged, only exasperating the other male.
"What about Flaky? Didn't you love her?"
"Sure, but there's something about you. It's something that Flaky couldn't give me."
"So you got tired of her? Now you're going to make a move on me?" Anger was mixing with the rest of emotions Splendid was feeling.
"I love her, but I bet she would love to see me move on instead of crying at her grave for the rest of my life. She only wanted me to feel at home more than anything else. And right now, I'm feeling right at home by your side..."
"What if-"
"Quit it- with all the 'what if' questions, please!" Flippy pleaded, stepping closer to Splendid. The green beret's hand held the other male's hand firmly, and looked him directing in the eye. Attention only for Splendid, no one or thing that can catch his eye. Flippy wanted his friend to know his feelings were real. It may be sudden, but he couldn't stop love from making him fall in love with someone else.
Splendid let out a weak sigh, he finally couldn't keep up the broken down front any longer. He needed to have Flippy in his arms now. No more being strong by himself. It was time for him to be a little weak...
"Once again, you're so cruel to me. I hate you for making me love you." Splendid muttered as his lips collided with Flippy's.
Splendid found the moment to be the best thing to happen to him, Flippy may even find that to be true for him as well, but something wasn't right to him. As Splendid's eyes shut closed, Flippy's was wide open, looking out the kitchen window. Staring at someone behind the glass frame. It sent shivers down Flippy's spine staring down someone from the other side of the window. Flippy separated his lips from Splendid, feeling quite afraid as Splendid's head rested on his chest.
Out there from the window, someone stood in the darkness. Watching. Wide, ominous smile, greeting Flippy from the shadows, beckoning him to come see who was mysterious person. The silhouette placed a hand on the clear glass window and wicked smiled at Flippy, hoping he gets struck by fear. A second later, the stranger slid their hand down the window and went back into the darker shadows and disappeared, leaving Flippy scared out of his mind.
"Are you okay?" Splendid sheepishly asked, but Flippy didn't want his new lover to feel the fear he felt so he only nodded back.
I did/didn't like this... I'm okay with this chapter. Sorry if I lead anyone to confusion, I'll clear up questions in the next chapter if anyone has any to tell me. So far, I'm hinting that I'm going to let the 'villain' come into the story soon, and Flippy x Splendid are coming up now. Many more things will happen, I'm for sure of it!
Now, I'm hoping everything goes well in future chapters. Review and I'll write you a one-shot with your favorite slash pairing! Hahaha, just kidding... Or am I?
