Fresh let out a small sigh as he walked downstairs and sat down on the couch. His lover, Blue, came skipping down the stairs after him and plopped down on the couch after him. Blue hugged Fresh's arm and turned on the tv to see what was on.

Fresh put a smile on his face and kissed Blue on the head. He rested his head on Blue's skull and shut his eyes. Fresh had been dating Blue for about a year now. Fresh found no attraction in Blue what so ever and all they had ever been was friends. The thought of dating Blue or doing anything romantic with him never even crosses his mind. So why was he dating Blue?

When Blue asked Fresh out, Fresh was instantly going to reject him, but then he got an idea. Maybe if he dated Blue he could actually start to feel something for him. Maybe he could  start to feel any type of emotion at all. With that thought in mind, Fresh agreed to date Blue.

The first few months went by and no emotions sparked up within Fresh. He kissed Blue, he hugged him, he told him he loved him every day, hell he even had sex with him but he felt nothing. Nothing at all. At first, he thought he was being too impatient. You didn't get emotions just like that but now he was sure he was lying to Blue. He was just telling Blue what he wanted to hear. Fresh didn't know how much longer he could keep this act up.

Fresh sighed and opened his eyes, standing up. Blue looked up at Fresh in confusion. Fresh picked Blue up and kissed his nose. "I need ta go out for a while, Aight? I'll be back soon."

Blue blushed softly and smiled at the kiss. "Where are you going?"

Fresh shook his head and put a finger to his teeth. "That's a secret," He purred out, winking at Blue before he set the smaller out on the couch.

Blue nodded as his blush darkened. "A-Alright! Hurry back!"

Fresh grabbed his shades and put them on. He nodded to Blue and waved before he ran out of the house.

Fresh took a deep inhale and exhaled a moment later, rubbing at his face. He really thought dating Blue would spark up some kind of emotion in him but nothing. Fresh couldn't  continue doing this. He needed to try something else or move onto someone else. He had to break up with Blue today.

———

Fresh stayed out for about thirty minutes. He spent that time at the waterfall just messing around with echo flowers as he though. Once Fresh finished thinking, he got up and took the long way back to his house. He pushed own the door when he got there and was immediately greeted by Blue who hugged him tightly. "Welcome back!" He chirped.

Fresh made a face and picked Blue up. He shut the door with his foot and locked it with his magic. Fresh turned off the tv and took Blue to their room, setting Blue on the bed.

Fresh sat down in front of Blue and looked at his confused lover.

"Why are we in here? Do you want to have sex?" Blue asked, leaning on Fresh.

Fresh shook his head and shifted away from Blue. "We need to talk."

Bleu froze up at hearing Fresh say those for words. Whenever someday said them it wasn't good. Especially when it was your lover saying it. "A-About wh-what...?" He asked, stuttering from his nervousness and fear.

Fresh sighed and decided to be really blunt. He didn't know what being insensitive was so it's not like he could say it any nicer because of it. "I'm breaking up with you, Blue. When you asked me out I was going to reject you. The only reason I agreed to date you was because I thought it might speak any emotion within me. It didn't. At first, I thought I was being too impatient and waited. Now, I'm sure I'm just lying to you. I told you I loved you when I felt nothing. I hugged you, and felt nothing. I kissed you, and felt nothing. I had sex with you, and felt absolutely nothing. I can't keep pretending anymore so I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry."

Blue felt his soul break slowly Fresh talked. He gripped a fist full of the bed sheets, his small frame shaking. He was pretty much crying already. "S-So you're telling me.. a-all of this time y-you w-were faking...?! Y-You told me all of that s-stuff to make me h-happy?! I-I b-believed you actually loved me! I-I let you.." Blue shook his head. "A-And just now you're telling m-me y-you used me f-for your o-own s-selfish d-desires! F-For a year! W-We were t-together for a-a y-year!"

Fresh nodded. "Yes. I'm sorry."

"S-Sorry?! I-Is that all you c-can s-say?! S-Sorry doesn't f-fix anything! S-Sorry d-doesn't c-change w-what y-you d-did!" Blue shouted, tears streaming down his face.

"I know it doesn't but I'm still sorry."

Blue slapped Fresh as hard as he cooked and hopped off of the bed. "G-Get out! G-Get o-out, g-get out, g-get out!" Blue screamed. He shoved Fresh off of the bed and pulled him up. He pushed Fresh out of the room, down the stairs, and out of his house. "A-And never come b-back!" Blue screamed out finally, slamming the door in Fresh's face and locking it. He ran back to his room and curled up in the bed, sobbing uncontrollably. Stretch wasn't home at the moment.

Blue curled around himself. He always felt like something was off with Fresh. He always had a lurking feeling in bottom of his soul that maybe Fresh didn't love him but hearing it from Fresh like that hurt. Blue sniffed and wiped at his face. He'd burn all of Fresh's things tomorrow.

——————

Fresh grunted and pulled himself up off of the ground, brushing the snow off of his clothes. "I didn't even get my stuff," Fresh grumbled to himself before he shrugged. At least he has his fanny pack and shades.

Fresh looked at Blue's house before he opened up a portal. He knew he was hurt Blue very badly but all he could say was sorry. The trusty is he didn't even care that Blue was sad. It's not that he didn't care. It's that he couldn't care.

Fresh sighed and stepped into the portal, closing it behind him. He was in OuterTale. He looked around, a smile rising to his face when he saw Error. Error was one of his friends. He didn't talk to him twenty four seven or anything. He just saw him occasionally but he always felt just a little bit alive when he was with Error.

Fresh walked up to Error and tapped him on the shoulder, sitting down beside him. "Hey, broski!"

Error glitched up just the slightest from the contact a small blush rising to his face. "a-Ah FrEsH! i dIdn'T exPecT tO sEe yOu ToDay!"

Fresh nodded with a sigh and glanced over at Error. "Yeah, I just broke up with Blue today. I came here to relax"

"A-aH, o-oH, i'M soRrY abOuT ThaT.." Error murmured out. He felt sorry for them since he knew they were dating for a year but he was also really happy. He had liked Fresh for the longest time, way before Blue ever did, but he was too scared to confess. Of course, he was sad when Fresh and Blue started to date. He didn't even see that pairing ever happening but it did. He tried to make his feelings go away but he couldn't. He was still madly in love with Fresh.

Error knew it was wrong to feel happy about his friends break up but he couldn't help it. He decided not to push for details on the whole matter but Fresh started to tell him more anyway.

"I just wasn't feeling happy with him. I felt like I'd hit much happier with someone else. I started feeling like that a while ago but I didn't tell him until today," Fresh sighed.

Error nodded. "A-Ah okay.."

Fresh laid back in silence for a small while but then sat up. He looked at Error. "You like me, right?"

Error flinched, not expecting the question. "Wh-Wh@T? N-Nø!" Error said quickly, shaking his head.

Fresh couldn't help but laugh. "You're a bad lair, Error," He told the other before he pulled him close and kissed him.

Error jumped, glitching up just a bit but not much. He was comfortable with Fresh's touch. A blush spread across his face but he slowly melted into the kiss.

Error pulled away a moment later, looking away from Fresh. "I-I, a-Ah, I- wE cAn'T dO tHis! Y-yOu juSt BrOke uP wiTh B-bLue a-anD-"

Fresh cut Error off. "Yes, we can. I don't care about Blue. I never really cared about him. I felt nothing for him but with you it's different! I actually feel something for you! I feel something inside of this empty body of mine so I don't care about Blue it anyone else. I only care about you. Be my one and only," Fresh told him, taking Error's hands and intertwining their fingers. "Please," He asked on after a moment.

Error looked down at the floor then at Fresh for a moment. He bit his bottom lip as he thought. It was wrong. It was so wrong to do this. Blue would be upset with him when he found out be he couldn't bring himself to care about that at the moment. He had loved Fresh for so long and now was his change to get what he always wanted. He couldn't pass that chance up.

Error nodded and smiled at Fresh, squeezing his hands. "I'll be your one and only."
