Marc's P.O.V:

"Come on Marc this is your chance! At last your chance!" Spades whisper informs me as he strangely sounds really relieved yet annoyed about everything. 

I sigh to my Kwami as I nod to him, hiding my face slightly under my hoodie. His golden like eyes still looking at me as I can't help myself but want to sweat out of nervousness. I mean, if Nathaniel doesn't like me back, then our friendship battles we're having together is all going down the drain into the 'game over' screen. If anything, I'm just making everything for our pretty long lasting friendship go from slightly awkward to completely uncomfortable in an instant. 

"Y-Your right... b-but, if he doesn't l-like me back, t-then I'm as good as gone." 

"Come on now Marc! At least your giving this confession your best shot! I might not have had anything in between these lines happen to me, but... hey! I've seen better or worse through many wielders." Spades informs me honestly as I nod to him, again. 

"Thanks Spades, t-this helps me f-feel a-a bit better." I say to my Kwami sincerely as he smiles to me softly, showing off his small snake fangs. 

"Sure thing, if anything goes wrong just talk to me." 

I nod to him one last time as I stop hiding my face away in my red hoodie. Nathaniel in his own spot with me in my usual too as he drops his pencil aside, staring at his story boarding work as he sets everything made aside. Along with the assortment of Copic markers and erasers. Slamming his forehead into his desk. I pause my writing as I close up my notebook. Nathaniel tossing everything into his portfolio as he closes it up. 

"I'll work on the starts of the final drafts tomorrow..." Nathaniel makes out with his mumbles as he turns back to me. His slightly more tired yet annoyed look changes into a more calm and bright tone, "Wanna... h-head to the p-park like you said now?" 

"... O-Oh! Right!" I inform my best friend, crush... and possibly boyfriend as I pick up my black notebook into my hands. Sitting up from my seat with my legs leading me to Nathaniel. Placing his green portfolio onto his work space as he stands up himself. Tossing his blue satchel onto his shoulder, "A-Are you ready?" 

"Yeah! Let's get going, the sooner we get there the more time we get to hang out!" Nathaniel chirps to me as he chuckles a little awkwardly at the end of his sentence. I feel a blush on my cheeks again as I usher myself to cool down, Spades looking up at me as he facepalms to himself with the fabric of my hoodie blocking him from anyone else seeing him but me. 

"Your right, l-lets g-go now." I inform Nathaniel as I walk out of the art room, Nathaniel tagging right behind me as he holds a hand to his satchel strap. 

'Come on Marc, you can't ruin this moment now.' 

Nathaniel's P.O.V: 

'What does Marc need to tell me about anyways? Maybe it's just something he wants to discuss privately with just me. Though, if he confesses or something... I'm losing my mind...' 

I keep looking down at Marc's feet as all I can do is follow them, leading me out of the school and to the park. Why do I feel so nervous all of the sudden? I'm the one to say this is okay! Everything is okay, I turn my head back up from the ground as I stare at the gates wide open leading to the white fountain pooling up in the bowl provided. Wow, this is exactly how I remember everything. Especially... 

Oh, right... like the time I decide to be the biggest jerk to Marc just when we met, he back then was just being shy. And so nice at the same time, so what do I do? I take his amazing writing and rip it in front of his face. God, those hurt eyes of Marc are still burning through my brain. 

"N-Nathaniel?" 

Oh crap, I snap myself out of my flashback trance as I stare at Marc and his black hair as he tilts his head to me a bit. His face all innocently curious about me, wait... did he just ask me something or ask a favor? 

"S-Sorry, I dazed off for a minute, c-can you repeat w-what you said?" 

"S-Sure! I... I wanted t-to... talk with you, about some stuff." Marc explains to me sincerely, looking slightly nervous at the same time. 

Marc's P.O.V: 

Nathaniel looks at me with a small blush forming on his cheeks, okay, now... just find somewhere to sit so I can talk about this confession with Nathaniel. I lead Nathaniel along with myself to the fountain as I set myself down, patting the seat next to me for Nathaniel. 

"... A-Anyways, what'd you n-need me f-for?" Nathaniel asks me sincerely, still kinda stuttering as he sits down next to me, lifting one leg over the other. 

I nod to him as my Kwami Spades softly cheers to me from my hoodie. I sigh to myself as I look up towards Nathaniel's face, still looking into my green eyes as my blush can't be contained, even if I really try against it. 

"W-What did you w-want to talk t-to me a-about?" Nathaniel asks me again. Just sounding a tad bit impatient or eager, from my ears it's kinda hard to decipher. 

"I... I n-needed to t-tell you s-something... i-important f-from me." I inform Nathaniel, his cheeks starting to dust out a hard blush as I swear that his blush is almost close to matching his own hair. 

"T-Tell me something? O-Of course! W-What'd you wanna t-tell m-me?" Nathaniel informs me as I sigh softly again, turning my head towards him, the same red blush on his face stuck on like glue, "Y-You c-can tell me anything, y-you m-mean a-a lot to me... so, I-I'm sure I'll understand." 

"... N-Nathaniel... T-These passing days, I... I've been feeling t-things to y-you. E-Every time w-we're together... I get these feelings w-when I'm around you. But... I-If you don't f-feel the same... P-Please say it now." 

I, did it. But, what are the actual chances that Nathaniel can possibly feel anything the same towards me? If anything, he'll just say he can't feel the same and brush every last drop of my confidence away the next day like nothing. I quickly turn my head away from Nathaniel as I grab my hood of my hoodie as I flip it over my head, holding onto the sides of it with my fingers digging into the fabric. 

"... Marc..." 

I feel a pair of hands turn my head off from the ground as they face me towards Nathaniel. He carefully takes his hands and pulls my hood away off my head, my face burning on a deep red as I blink to him. 

"Y-Yeah?" 

"Shut up for a minute." 

Before I can peep out anymore words from my mouth, a pair of lips hit mine as my eyes widen in my own utter shock. Nathaniel closing his eyes as he wraps his arms around my shoulders. I feel myself soon melt as I close my eyes as I place my hands onto his lap, feeling out the fabric of his purple jeans. Kissing back as all I can wonder is, 'Is this what my dreams feel like?'. I keep kissing my crush as he soon slowly pulls away from me, a super small and thin strand of our saliva connecting our lips as I reopen my eyes with Nathaniel right in front of my face. Licking his lips as he chuckles to himself, the blush on his cheeks now matching his hair. 

"Heh, you have really nice strawberry chap stick Marc..."
