⚠️ROMANCE (NO SMUT)⚠️ ⚠️GAY⚠️

The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon, casting a warm golden light over the beach. There was a gentle breeze drifting through the air, bringing the smell of the ocean with it.

As the first rays of sunlight touched the sand, the beach slowly came to life. A couple of early-morning joggers were already out, running along the shoreline. Birds were beginning to wake up and sing their early morning songs.

Inside, a few light snores were coming from the bedrooms, and the sound of the shower turning on signaled that someone was getting up already.

Soon, the front door opened and Blue stepped outside. He looked around and breathed in the fresh morning air. The others were still sleeping, and he decided to take a little walk along the shoreline alone.

As he strolled down the beach, Blue found himself lost in thought. The events of the previous day played through his mind, and he couldn't help but smile as he remembered the beach activities. The day had been so full of laughter and fun, and he was already looking forward to spending more time with his friends.

As he strolled down the beach, Blue found himself lost in thought. The events of the previous day played through his mind, and he couldn't help but smile as he remembered the beach activities. The day had been so full of laughter and fun, and he was already looking forward to spending more time with his friends.

Especially Skyler...

There was something about them that always made his heart skip a beat. Their laughter, their smile, the way they jokingly teased him... He found himself constantly drawn to them, always wanting to be around them.

He shook his head, trying to will the thoughts away. "It's just friendship," he told himself firmly. "That's all it is."

But even as he tried to convince himself, he couldn't deny the fluttering feeling in his stomach whenever Skyler was near.

Blue continued walking, still lost in his thoughts, when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned around and was surprised to see Skyler walking towards him. "Hey," Skyler said, giving him their usual bright smile.

Blue's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to act cool. "Hey," he replied, hoping that his emotions weren't too obvious.

"Acorn sent me to tell you breakfast is ready," Skyler told him.

"Oh, right, breakfast. Thanks for letting me know," Blue said, trying to hide his disappointment that Skyler wasn't just walking with him for the sake of it.

As they started walking back towards the bnb, he glanced at Skyler, noticing the way the sunlight made their hair sparkle. "So, did you sleep well?" he asked, trying to make small talk.

"Yeah, I had a dream about pizza..." they said. Blue's heart dropped.

The mention of Pizza immediately grabbed his attention. "A dream about Pizza? What was it z about?" he asked, trying to hide the slight pang of jealousy he felt.

Skyler looked at him confused, then they realized what they said. "Oh, no, it wasn't about Pizza, it was about the FOOD pizza," they clarified.

Blue let out a sigh of relief, the pang of jealousy dissipating instantly. "Oh, thank goodness," he said, chuckling. "I was worried there for a moment."

"Why?" Skyler asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh... because someone I know has a crush on you and... I thought you didn't like them back for a-a second," Blue excused.

Skyler's eyes widened slightly. "Someone has a crush on me? Who?" they asked, a small smile curling at the corners of their lips.

"Uh-uhm... erm..."

"What's taking you so long?!" Acorn yelled, walking up to them.

Blue was grateful for the distraction, as it gave him a moment to calm his racing heart. He looked at Acorn, who was standing in front of them with her hands on her hips.

They all went back to the bnb and ate breakfast, some Honey Nut Bloxio's. Everyone gathered around the dining table, chatting and eating their breakfast. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful. Noob and Bacon were already on their second bowls of cereal, while the girls were giggling and talking amongst themselves.

Blue tried to focus on his cereal, but his thoughts kept wandering to Skyler, who was sitting across from him.

He kept stealing glances at them, admiring their smile and the way they laughed at something Lavender said.

Lavender quickly glanced at Acorn to see if she was laughing. Acorn was talking with Bacon. Lavender turned back with an 'ugh' expression on her face.

Noob suddenly chimed in, his bowl almost empty. "Hey, hey, guys, I've got a joke. Why don't scientists trust atoms?" Everyone looked at him, curious to hear the punchline.

"Because they make up everything!" Noob exclaimed, grinning widely. There was a collective groan from the table, but one laugh.

Everyone turned their heads to who was laughing. It was Guest. He was laughing, his shoulders shifting up and down

Everyone was surprised to see Guest laughing. He was usually so stoic and reserved, and it was rare to see him show any sort of emotion. He continued to laugh, his shoulders shaking and his eyes shut. Bacon let out a gasp. "Did he just... laugh?"

There was a moment of silence at the table, as everyone processed the unexpected sight. Noob was the first to break the silence, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "You know what this means, right?"

Noob leaned back in his chair, looking very pleased with himself. "It means..." he said, drawing out the suspense, "that Guest actually has a sense of humor!"

Everyone at the table looked shocked, and then, suddenly, laughter broke out. It started with a few giggles, and then spread like wildfire. Everyone, even the most composed of the bunch, was laughing at Noob's observation.

Guest stopped laughing and blushed of embarrassment. He frowned and stood up, going to his room.

Noob tried to catch his breath, wiping away tears of laughter. "Did... did I just see Guest blush?" he managed to say between chuckles.

"You did!" Bacon confirmed. "I've never seen him be embarrassed before!"

Acorn elbowed Bacon and glared at Noob. "Noob, go apologize to him," she commanded.

"Okay, mom!" Noob joked, standing up and going up the stairs. Noob walked up the stairs and reached Guest's bedroom. He knocked lightly on the door, feeling a little guilty for embarrassing his friend. "Hey, Guest... can I come in?"

No answer. The faint sound of water came from inside. Noob knocked again.

Noob knocked again, a bit louder this time. "Guest, c'mon, I just want to talk," he said, trying to sound apologetic.

He knocked again, this time a few times in a row. "Guest, seriously, I promise I won't make any more jokes. Just open the door, please."

He heard the water stop, then some shuffling. Noob opened the door, to see Guest with a towel around his waist. He stopped dead in his tracks.

Noob froze, his eyes widening as he saw Guest standing there in a towel. He hadn't been prepared for this sight and felt his face heat up. He tried to focus on anything but Guest's bare chest and the water droplets running down his torso. "U-uh, sorry," Noob said, averting his eyes. "I was just trying to..." He trailed off, realizing that the sight of his half-naked friend was making his mind go blank.

"I'm distracting you, right?" Guest asked, still red.

Noob looked back at Guest, his gaze automatically drifting down to his toned chest and abs. He tried to shake off the image, but it was seared into his mind. "Uh, w-what?" he mumbled, trying to keep his thoughts from wandering.

"I mean," Guest put his hand to his chest. "Who couldn't be?" He said in a confident manner.

Noob's eyes widened as he heard Guest's words. He couldn't believe that his friend was being so cocky. "You really think you're that hot, huh?" Noob retorted, trying to hide the fact that he was secretly swooning.

"Hot?" Guest repeated, perking up.

He shifted awkwardly, trying to recover. "I mean, um... you know, hot as in... attractive," he said, feeling his cheeks burn brighter.

"Y-you think I'm attractive?!" Guest blurted out, gawking.

Noob's heart skipped a beat as he heard the surprise in Guest's voice. He hadn't expected his friend to react so dramatically to his throwaway comment.

"I, uh... y-yeah, I guess you could say that," Noob admitted, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

Noob's breath caught in his throat as Guest suddenly lunged forward, pinning him against the wall. Their faces were only inches apart now, and Noob's heart was pounding so hard he could feel it in his chest.

Noob stared into Guest's eyes, seeing a mixture of nervousness and determination there. He tried to say something, anything, but the words stuck in his throat as he felt the heat radiating off of his friend's body.

"G-" Noob's mind went blank as he felt Guest's lips press against his. His body went rigid in surprise, but after a moment, he relaxed and began to kiss back, tentative and awkward at first, but then more passionately.

He wrapped his arms around Guest's torso, feeling the warm, smooth skin under his fingertips, and pulled him closer, their bodies pressing against each other.

Meanwhile, back downstairs, the others were left wondering what was going on upstairs. They could hear some muffled voices and footsteps, but couldn't quite make out what was being said or done.

"What do you think they're doing up there?" Bacon asked, breaking the silence.

Lavender rolled her eyes. "Probably just arguing about something stupid. Like always."

They turned to Noodle, surprised to see her face red while she had Acorn's iPad out. "What's got you all flushed, Noodle?" Lavender asked, leaning in to get a look at the iPad.

Noodle hurriedly turned, coming to a stop when she felt Acorn behind her. "What are you doing with my iPad." She asked, with a 'you're in trouble, little sister' tone.

The moment Acorn grabbed the iPad, her eyes widened in surprise as she saw what was playing on the screen.

"No way," she gasped, her hands shaking as she held the iPad. "Is that..." she trailed off, watching as Guest and Noob continued to kiss on the security camera feed.

The other girls all rushed over to Acorn, eager to see what had caused such a reaction. "What is it? What's on the iPad?" Lavender asked, trying to peer over Acorn's shoulder.

Acorn quickly turned it off and set it on the nearby table "Nothing! Just a drawing of... uh- Bloxsune Miku!" She fibbed.

The friends all exchanged skeptical glances, but none of them pressed Acorn further about what she had seen on the iPad. It was clear that she was hiding something, but they didn't want to pry.

Bacon looked like he was about to say something, but just then, the sound of footsteps on the stairs distracted everyone. Noob and Guest appeared, looking flushed and a little disheveled.

There was an awkward moment of silence before Noob cleared his throat. "Uh, hey guys."

Bacon looked at them, noticing something different about them. "Is everything okay, guys?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice.

Noob and Guest exchanged a quick glance, then quickly looked away. "Yeah, everything's fine," Guest said, his voice sounding a bit strained.

The others seemed to notice the strange behavior, but before they could say anything, Lavender spoke up.

She pointed her finger at the two boys and yelled, "GAY!"

There was a moment of stunned silence as everyone froze, shocked by Lavender's sudden outburst. Then, Noob spoke up, his voice shaky but firm.

"Yeah, so what?" he challenged. "What of it?"

The group gasped. "I told you," Pizza told Skyler. They handed her ten dollars.

Noob's eyes widened in surprise. "You guys made a bet on this?" he exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Lavender's mouth hung open, her hand still pointed at Noob and Guest. "Wait, what?" she sputtered, not expecting the sudden confession.

Everyone turned to look at Guest, waiting for his response. He looked nervous but determined. "Yeah, Lavender," he said, his voice firm. "We're gay. Deal with it."

Noob and Guest blushed furiously as Acorn's glee filled the room. The others couldn't help but burst into laughter at her reaction.

Lavender looked even more stunned than before, her face a mix of shock and confusion. She slowly lowered her arm, still trying to process what was happening.
