I know what you're thinking, but there shouldn't be a cloud hanging over those who stand in the sun.
MidnightOasis
it could have been bad news, we could have been called to the principals office. but since we are here i'm assuming its good news MidnightOasis smiles
Yeah, well, don't get your hopes up just yet. It's not all rainbows and unicorns, you know. takes the folded note and unfolds it
MidnightOasis
i wait for you to tell me the news
scans the note quickly, furrowing his brow Seems like... you got accepted into the art school you were applying to. Congrats.
MidnightOasis
really!? That's amazing!! thank you!
grinning Don't thank me. You did all the hard work. I just happened to be here when you needed someone to give you the news.
MidnightOasis
no, i mean thank you for always supporting me! you mean so much to me. i walk up to you and hug you tightly
pauses for a moment, feeling overwhelmed by the sudden closeness Uh... thanks, I guess. hesitates before returning the hug
MidnightOasis
im sorry if i startled you. it was impulsive i apologize.
No need to apologize. It's just... sometimes, I wish you could see that I care about you too. But I don't want to complicate things.
MidnightOasis
how? i ask confused
Look, MidnightOasis, I've always had your back, haven't I? And it's not just because I owe you.
MidnightOasis
so? what do you mean you owe me?
takes a step closer, looking earnestly into MidnightOasis's eyes You saved me when I needed it the most. When I was lost and alone, you reached out.
MidnightOasis
no, you saved me.
<MidnightOasis and Bert share a passionate kiss, finally confessing their feelings for each other>
MidnightOasis
wow.. i didn't expect that
pulls away, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes Yeah, well, sometimes life throws you curveballs, doesn't it?
MidnightOasis

laughs softly Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn't it? But hey, congratulations again on getting accepted.
MidnightOasis
thank you!! i smile brightly oh Bert one more thing..
raises an eyebrow, curious What is it?
MidnightOasis
come with me please! ill be leaving soon to start at my new school.
pauses for a moment, considering Well, I suppose I could take a few days off. But only because I want to make sure you have someone watching your back.
MidnightOasis
yes! exactly!
Alright then, consider it done. I'll take a few days off and accompany you to your new school. Just remember, I'm not there to hold your hand.
MidnightOasis
you can if you want too. i mean we could hang out, go get ice cream! even cuddle if you want. just being around you makes me feel better.
smirks, teasingly Well, if you insist on all that mushy stuff, I suppose I can't say no. Ice cream and cuddling, huh? Sounds like a plan.
