Pix blinked as Oli came running up to him, gasping for breath. The last time this happened it was because Shelby tried to infect him with sculk, is he okay?

"PIXXX! Pix, Pix, Pix, Pix- I got you a thing-" Oli said as he skidded to a halt, shoving something into Pix's hands. "You got me the necklaceee, and I felt bad that you didn't have anythinggg, soooo-"

The brunette glanced down at what Oli had passed him, smiling. It was a necklace similar to the amethyst one that Pix had gotten Oli, only the chain was gold instead of silver, and the gemstone at the end of the chain was emerald instead of amethyst.

Pix smiled at Oli again as he carefully slipped the necklace over his head. "Thank you." He said, his face going slightly red.

Oli let out an unintelligible mumble, and it certainly wasn't the lighting this time- the blonde's face was definitely red.

Does he- no, he doesn't- why would he, it's not like I like him like that, why am I thinking about that- okay, who am I kidding, I totally like him like that but- Pix paused, smiling again. "Seriously though, thank you."

"It's no- I- yeah." Oli finished lamely, making an odd hand gesture and shrugging before swiftly changing the subject. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure False is corrupted now, which is just- not good, but oh well, nothing we can do about it now." The blonde shrugged.

"You are- remarkably unconcerned about that, you know." Pix commented, one eyebrow raised.

"I mean I don't really know False that well, and didn't she try to kill you that one time?" Oli asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, but just that one time. She's pretty cool." Pix said with a shrug. So- she's infected, which sucks, but like Oli said, nothing we can do about it now.

"Hmm.... Debatable, my sweet king. Incredibly debatable. But- whatever." Oli finished, shrugging again.

"You really should be more bothered about that, you know. Also- any more sculk in your empire? That you've tried to clean up with a shovel?" Pix added under breath.

Oli either didn't hear the last part of his question or chose to ignore it. "Yep. A concerning amount more, actually." The blonde said, frowning. "And I haven't been removing it with a shovel, before you ask." He added swiftly.

"I was about to say-" Pix's teasing statement was swiftly cut off as Oli shoved him playfully.

"Shut up. It's not funny when you make the same joke a million times!" The bard protested loudly, glaring at him jokingly.

"It's still a tiiiny bit funny." Pix grinned as Oli trailed off into rebellious, unintelligible muttering (Pix could vaguely make out the words 'stupid tall guy' and 'he's lucky he's hot'). Wait- did he just call me hot? Pix shrugged it off, smiling awkwardly and messing with the emerald at the end of the necklace Oli gave him.

"It is-really cold, wow." Oli said with an awkward laugh, clearly trying to break the awkward silence.

"Mhm." Pix said, shifting from foot to foot slightly uncomfortably. "Uh- one question. Did you just call me hot?" The brunette asked quietly.

Oli blinked. "I- er- hm- I'm- maybe? Just- shut up, just try- not being hot if you don't want me to call you hot!" The blonde protested loudly.

"Oh, I don't- have a problem with it, I mean you are as well, I was just... curious." Pix finished in a whisper as Oli looked up at him quietly. The bard might have moved closer, but Pix wasn't exactly sure. "I've been- meaning to tell you... something? It's- I'm sorry if I'm being weird, but I like you a lot, as like, a lot more than friends, and if you don't like me like that then that's fine, just- forget I said anything-" The brunette broke off, looking away as a wave of colour flushed his cheeks.

"You- what?" Oli stared back at him, visibly confused. Crap, I shouldn't have said anything- I wasn't even thinking, I just said it- "You... like me... as... well?" The blonde said slowly, a smile forming on his face.

"Uh... yes. Yes, I do." Pix said breathlessly, smiling. 'As well'. 'As well'. He likes me. He likes me back. Okay. Cool. The two stared at each other for a moment. I really want to kiss him right but it I don't want to be weirddd, and I don't know, what if I misinterpreted what he said-

The decision was made for him when Oli let out a mildly irritated huff and pulled Pix into a kiss, causing the taller brunette man to let out a surprised, squeak-like noise that normally would have embarrassed him greatly before kissing Oli back. The kiss lasted for a long time- it could have been seconds, or minutes, or hours, Pix couldn't tell- before Oli broke the kiss, taken a few awkward steps backwards.

"Did you just- no, did I just- I'm sorry, I-" The bard broke off, looking incredibly embarrassed.

"You... don't need to apologise." Pix said, blinking and smiling softly. I just kissed Oli, oh- my god- Oli nodded quietly.

"Still- I should have asked first. Sorry." The bard added quietly, although he was smiling and the corner of his lips were turned up into a slight smirk. "I have to go do something now, but uh- I'll talk to you later?" Oli asked brightly.

"Yeah. Uh... bye." Pix whispered, his heart beating incredibly fast. He added even more quietly (if that was possible), "Love you."
