Three Days had gone by since Sandy had gotten the materials for her latest project, there was only one day left before they'd have to go back, and his patience was wearing thinner with each day that had passed. The sponge walked into the room, a towel around his neck, "Are going?" he asked, Sandy looked up from the table, they were supposed to go to the movies, "Oh no!" she looks at the clock, "I totally forgot!" she says, Spongebob cocks his eyebrow, "You forgot?" he asked, glancing to another part of the room before looking back.
"I, I know and I'm sorry, I just got so caught up in this, and, i'm really-" Spongebob held his hand up, "You don't even need to say it, I should've known better to really expect you to make time, you're way too busy with work, sorry for asking, I guess I'll see you later." he waved, "Spongebob!" she called him, but he just waved her off and closed the door behind him.
Spongebob sat in the front row seat of the full theater, the movie was a pretty good movie, but it sorta got to him, you know one of them drama movies, that Tyler Perry movie, the, Why did I get married movie, a great movie, but one of the couples reminded him of him, and Sandy, their situation with her working on their vacation, while they were supposed to enjoy it, it wasn't like they were a couple, they were friends, just, friends, but still.
Spongebob got up from his seat in the middle of the movie before exiting the theatre, he should really head back, but that neon sign was talking to him, telling him to take a seat and just relax. Spongebob took a moment before walking towards the bar, he didn't really feel like seeing her right now, working when she should be having fun.
"What will you have?"
Spongebob stumbled into the room, closing the door behind him, Sandy's sitting on the bed with her computer and papers scattered around her, "Hey, yer back, how was it?" she asks, Spongebob throws his hand out towards her, not saying anything he goes into the kitchen, she watches him, "What's his problem?" she asked herself before he came back out of the kitchen with a bottle, he plops down onto the couch, opening the bottle before bringing it to his lips.
For what seemed like twenty minutes of silence, Spongebob quietly sitting on the couch with his bottle of champagne, watching as the woman typed away, he sighed getting her to look up at him, "What's up?" she asked him. Spongebob rubbed his head, "I'll tell you, wh, what's up." he said as he put his bottle down, "Are y'all drinking?" she asked, Spongebob looked at the bottle, "M, maybe I am, who cares, it's not like I'm breaking the law, I, I bought it, and Imma, Imma drink it, too." he stands up.
Sandy closes her laptop, staring up at him, "I didn't say it was breaking the law, I was just-" "You were just gonna tell me how to live my life, tell me that, I can't drink, that i'm too *hicc* immature." he interrupted her, "ok, what is yer deal? Y'all come back from the movies, and y'all start drinking, and-"
"My deal? My deal is you!" he raised his voice, "Me?" she questioned, now getting off her bed, "I'm not tha one who went out and got drunk, I'm not the one whose starting an arguement with ya." she shook her head, "Of course not, because you never leave this room, you never do anything."
"Wait, don't tell me, this has something to do with me working!" she questioned as she approached him, "Does it have something to do with you working?" he mocked, "It has everything to do with you working! I didn't ask you to come with me to work, I asked you to come with me, to have fun, and to just be with me, and you're just, working!" he said, his voice was starting to tremble.
"If y'all remember, I never really wanted ta go, i told y'all I had a lot of stuff ta do, and y'all wouldn't listen." Spongebob wiped his eyes, stupid dust, "I listened, I just, all I wanted was to see you, and- that's just too much to ask."
"Oh, don't ya dare start that with me, y'all know yer not innocent, tell me Spongebob, whatcha got in that safe?" Sandy pointed to the little safe in the room, Spongebob glanced over to it, "Why should I tell you?" he spat, "Uh huh, yeah, see, and y'all have the nerve ta yell at me fer bringing my work with me, and y'all think yer just free, like that?"
"It's not like I take it out every night, and day to read it, bringing that formula with me, was the only way Krabs would even let me leave the city, but you-" "I have a deadline ta meet, and goin on this trip woulda cut me back, I only came ere because ya wouldn't stop begging."
"You coulda said no, i didn't pay for this trip for you to work, it's been six days Sandy, one, or even two days I can handle, but six? Sandy, we've only got one day left, and I don't want to waste it, this will probably be the last time we ever see each other, in months, maybe even a year, I just wanted to see you before we're dragged back to work, it will take months to pay this trip off, that means no days off, no free time.." Spongebob looks at her, he shook his head, "You wouldn't understand, you don't even care." he shook his head, looking to the ground, "I don't even know why I even tried, to fix a relationship that's not even worth fixing anymore." he says before he wipes his nose and walks out.
Sandy stood back as the door slammed shut, she stood alone in the room, for the sixth day in a row. Could their relationship, really be falling apart? Sandy looked in the mirror, could she be wrong? Sandy ran outside, looking for her friend, but he was nowhere in sight, he'd come back, right? All his stuff was here, he just needed air. To try and fix a relationship, that wasn't worth saving anymore, he didn't mean it, they were fine, ok, maybe they weren't as close anymore, but how close was he wanting to be?
Sandy sat back on her bed, her laptop open, staring at the screensaver, a picture of her and Spongebob, they were so young, and careless back then, nothing could separate them, they were best friends, they would tell eachother everything, but now, he didn't even tell her that woman's name, in fact, this was the first time that he'd ever mentioned her, maybe it was for the best, she sounded like a real catch, if she knew he loved her, then she could treat him right, make him feel loved, while their relationship disappeared, but, they didn't want that, this was the whole point of the trip, but how could they fix it?
It had been about two hours for Spongebob to finally come back from wherever he had gone. Sandy had already gone to sleep, good, he didn't really feel like talking to her, after tomorrow, they'd go eachothers separate ways, maybe bump into each other at the grocery store whenever they crossed paths, a few words would be said but, that was it, he's give up on her, and find someone else, and she'd end up getting a huge promotion and move back to Texas for good.
Spongebob watched as she slept, was that really what he wanted, to say good-bye? He couldn't stay mad at her and end their relationship because she worked, she worked to stay down here, with him, but she worked too much, but she wasn't the only workaholic in the room, he'd have to work triple shifts to pay this off, at first, he thought it would've been worth it, but, it was just like back at home, she wasn't there, at the same time she was, but, she was too busy to have fun.
Spongebob sighed, it was pretty late, and it was about time to go to bed, so he turned his back towards her and closed his eyes.
Sandy rests her head on her arm, her back faced to the door as he enters the room, she could hear him sigh, she hears something drop to the floor behind her, she turns around, in a sleep like manner, he stops to see if she's awake, but from his point of view, she is. Sandy watches as he drops his clothes to the ground, and oh my, either she's imagining it with all the darkness around, or, he's got something he should share, it's not like she hasn't seen him naked before, it's just that, the last time she'd seen him, he was just a scrawny little thing, but now, ok, just, turn away.
After what had seemed like forever, when she was sure that Spongebob was asleep, his back turned to her, she sighed, watching him, relieved that he came back, of course she could tell that he was still angry with her.
Maybe this trip was a bad idea, she should've said no, but, he was right, they were fading, and she too wanted to fix their relationship, she loved him, more than she could ever say, but he didn't know that, and he didn't know that the reason she worked so hard was because of him, for him, so that they could be together, but she didn't realize that working so much only made things worse, but she wasn't the only one who had a busy life, he might not've stayed up as late as she did, but he did work fives days a week, while one of the free days was spent at boating school, and the other was spent doing who knows what, but she knew whatever he was doing wasn't with her.
Sandy sighed, but it could be, maybe one day, if it weren't for this cursed helmet, if she could breathe water, they may be together, she could quit her job, and live out the rest of her days, with him, but then again, he didn't love her, he was in love with someone else, wasn't he? Maybe if she could live down here, and breathe the same water he breathed, they could become even closer, and he'd tell her everything, and what he said about him and his crush possibly never getting together, she could be the mystery woman's replacement, perhaps.
Sandy sat up, sitting on the edge of the bed, she quietly makes her way to the kitchen. The sound of the sheets wrestling on the bed catch his attention, turning around to watch her go into the kitchen, he doesn't say anything, he knew that she'd go work until she passed out, like she always did, and he wasn't in the mood to argue with her at the moment, she wouldn't even care to listen, so let her work, they were leaving tomorrow, after he got done with the spa, that massage lady would take his mind off of things, call and schedule, a private session.
Sandy sat at the counter, smashing some things into powder before taking a glass of water she had gotten from the sink, dumping it into the liquid and then stirring it around until the water became cloudy. Sandy removed her helmet, she had to drink all of it, after chugging it all, she placed her helmet back over her face and let out a few deep breaths, it wouldn't be long now; with a few deep breaths, Sandy began to cough.
Spongebob sat up after hearing Sandy coughing, thinking that it was probably nothing, but at the same time, it worried him, it sounded pretty bad, what if she was choking on something? The next thing he heard was a big crash, like something glass had broke, and he rushed to his feet and ran into the kitchen, seeing Sandy on the floor, coughing, and gagging on her hands and knees, her hands were bloody, shards of glass from the broken helmet cut up her hand, and her mouth, and nose were oozing dark red blood.
Spongebob rushed her to her bed, "No, no Sandy, h, hold on!" he cried as he rushed to her bags, she had to have an extra helmet. Spongebob rushed back with a new helmet, picking her up to put it on, but she pushed him, shaking his head, "Y, you need-" she pushed it out of his hand, and it shattered, Spongebob gasped, that was her last one, "Sandy!" he cried, "I, I need- water." she choked as she scratched at her throat.
Not knowing what to do, he gave her a glass, but she smacked it away, "W, water." she said as she grabbed him by his shirt but let go as her face went white.
After what has seemed like forever, Sandy had finally came to, she turned to look around herself, she could see Spongebob sitting at the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. Sandy closed her eyes and groaned, feeling her head, she had a big headache, funny, didn't recall getting drunk anytime last night.
"Sandy?" she could hear his concerned voice, he was by her side, looking down at her, "Sp, Spongebob?" she softly spoke, and he smiled, the next thing she knew was that she was in his arms, he was hugging her, crying into her, "I, I thought I'd lost you." he cried pulling her out of the hug, "Geez, Sandy, wh, what were you thinking? Doing something like that?" he asked, a little angry with her, he would be pissed if he wasn't happy that she was ok.
"Th, the powder, it, it was a success." she softly spoke, Spongebob wiped his eyes, "What were you thinking!" he raised his voice, tears filled his eyes, "What was the point of this, how could you be so stupid?" he asked, now getting angry, "Why would you-"
"I, I did it for y'all." she spoke up, finally gaining full awareness, "For me?" he questions, "You, could have died, I thought I lost you." tears roll down his face, (A/N: Sorry my drama sucks) "B, but ya didn't, I'm alive, i'm not-" "That's not the point Sandy!" he interrupted her, "You, are smarter than that, and doing something that stupid, and for me? I never asked for you to kill yourself, I just wanted you to be with me! Not-" "That's what I wanted!" she stopped him.
"Y'all don't understand, everything I do is fer y'all, so I can be with ya, I wanted y'all ta love me, and let me love ya, and to be able to touch ya." she says as she brushes her hand across his cheek, "and fer y'all ta touch me, I want to be able ta make ya happy, I wanted ta kiss, and hold ya, but that stupid helmet always got in the way! I wanted to be with y'all, and I thought that this would bring us closer, and we could be tagether, just like y'all wanted!" she began to cry.
Spongebob sat back, letting her cry into his shoulder, after hearing her confession, she loved him, she loved him so much that she'd change herself, just to be with him, she'd work her life away, just to be with him.
"You didn't need, to change yourself, not for me, you don't need to hurt yourself, to make me happy, or to make me fall for you, not when I'm already in love with you." Sandy freezes, listening to what he had to say, "Your safety, is all that matters, seeing you smile, and safe, makes me happy, I don't want you to change who you are, for me, I love you, just the way you are, and of course, I want to kiss, and hold you, to touch and please you," he wipes her tears away he smiles, "I want, to love you, and make love, to you.. I want.. You." he says before he brings her in a kiss.
Tears run down her face as she closes her eyes, he bringing her closer, his arms wrap around her back. Sandy ran her hands up his arms, squeezing him, "Hn, Spongebob." she whispered, their noses brushing against each others, he nudged her cheek, licking his bottom lip, her taste was still there, she bit her lip, she could still feel him, they hungered for more. Spongebob nipped her bottom lip, getting her to lean in again.
The end
Eh, I was gonna add some smut.. But I don't really, feel like it, so I think this is good the way it is… Maybe I'll add some in my free time, later.
