Mumbo's Perspective-

The kids clapped and Martyn turned around, his eyes widening as he saw Mumbo.

"Hi." Mumbo said, walking over after most of the children left.

"H-hey, what're you doing here?" Martyn asked, stepping off the machine and in front of Mumbo.

"I thought you might be here. I- ...I'm sorry I didn't go to the dance."

"It's alright." Martyn shrugged. "Scar was kinda getting on my nerves anyway."

Mumbo chuckled and Martyn smiled.

"So uh...are you okay? Scar was shouting at this guy named Ren about hurting you." Mumbo scratched the back of his neck and avoided eye contact. "I just wanted to make sure you were alright."

Martyn's eyes widened.

"Oh shoot!" He facepalmed, "Cod, Scar's probably cursing up a storm."

Mumbo giggled, "Yeah probably. He was really upset with him."

"Well...Ren's probably having fun."

The two laughed and Mumbo smiled.

"May I ask who he is?"

"Oh um..." Martyn sighed. "It's...complicated."

"I get that." Mumbo shrugged, leaning back against the railing of the machine.

"Careful." Martyn held his hand and pulled him back. "That thing's collapsed before and almost broke my arm."

Mumbo blushed as Martyn's hand fit perfectly into his.

"Thanks, I would've been really upset if some DDR machine broke my hand."

Martyn chuckled, his charming grin never leaving his face.

"So...since I'm here now, wanna dance?" Mumbo stepped onto the machine, and it lit up.

"You sure? You were too scared to go on it last time." Martyn said, joining him.

"You said it's just like Just Dance, right?" Mumbo asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." Martyn chuckled.

"Don't think I'll win, but it could be fun." Mumbo said and Martyn scanned his arcade card.

-

Martyn and Mumbo sat in the little food area they had, and Martyn handed Mumbo a Gatorade.

"Thanks." Mumbo smiled, opening it and taking a sip.

"I feel so weird being here in my like dress shirt and bowtie." Martyn said and Mumbo laughed.

"Same; this is like the worst place to wear a suit."

"Eh, it could be funny. Me and my friends watched The Barbie movie and showed up in full suits." Martyn said and Mumbo chuckled.

"Do you even like Barbie?"

"Oh no, it was an awful movie." Martyn shook his head.

Martyn made eye contact with Mumbo, who blushed.

"So how'd you know I was gonna be here?" He asked, leaning his arms on the table.

Mumbo shrugged. "Guess I'm just observant when you told me how much you like going to them."

"Yeah, you really are. I like that about you; how much you seem to pay attention when people tell you stuff they enjoy." Martyn said and Mumbo felt his face heat up.

Martyn caught onto what he had said, and he also blushed.

"I- I meant that in a friendly way..." He said and Mumbo nodded.

There was an awkward silence that fell between the two before Martyn spoke again.

"So uh- I heard you were gonna be taking pictures of us during tech week?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Make sure to get great ones of me." Martyn smirked and Mumbo chuckled.

"You're just as cocky as Scar with being in all the pictures." Mumbo teased and Martyn smiled.
