Skipper's POV
We woke up early in the morning to head back to the Inn. Ivan was a bit...well he kept his distance from me.

"You okay?" Sir green eyes asked walking next to me and I nodded slowly.

"Yeah...just got things on my mind. Like well...I'm worried about Ivan." I said, immediately he was off and gone then dragged Ivan over.

"Dude." Ivan said glaring at him then glanced at me.

"Hey Skip." he said nodding

"Hey.." I said and he turned away from me.

"Sorry." Sir green eyes said frowning and I smiled.

"Nah, thanks for trying. You're more brave and bold than I am." I said laughing and he blushed laughing awkwardly.

"Um no, not really. Just when it comes to others since it's not me." he said and I nodded in understanding.

****

I cleaned the tables humming to myself when Ivan came out the kitchen. I glanced at him the same time he was going to glance at me. I cast my eyes down cleaning the tables slower.

"You should tell Traci you're gay." he said making me fall down in surprise.

"Wha-What?" I said coughing and he rolled his eyes.

"Traci is oblivious, tell him you're gay and that might just help you get him to know that kiss meant something to you." he said.

"Keyword, might." I said pointing out.

"Skip, you're gay so just tell him." he said.

"I rather tell him I like him!" I yelled and he rubbed his temples.

"You're still saying you're gay." he said.

"We-Well I'm not ready." I said playing with my fingers.

"Traci can date anyone he wants, so if you move slow you might lose him. You barely got him. That kiss didn't affect the 'relationship' at all. He still sees you as ol' little Skipper." he said and my heart panged.

"O-Oh yeah? We-Well why don't you tell Diego you're feelings Mr. Hypocrite." I said and he stepped on my foot, hard. "O-Ow!" I shrieked and he gave me look I never saw him show to anybody before.

"Rot in hell." he said and my eyes widen as he turned his back facing me and he ran upstairs.

I looked down sighing. I didn't mean to....but it's true. And what he said....it was true too.

"Skip?" I heard a voice say and I turned around to find Traci near the doorway, I guess he just came in.

"H-Hi." I said looking down.

"What's wrong?" he asked and I looked up slowly, he was frowning.

"Um nothing." I said finishing off cleaning the tables.

"How come you always lie to me?" he asked laughing but honestly it just made me feel completely terrible.

I turned around to face him taking a deep breath. I swallowed hard and he blinked at me tilting his head.

"Traci...I'm gay." I said.

"Oh." he said nodding then his eyes widen. "Wait, what?!" he yelled and I but my lip trying not to laugh but I couldn't.

"Did you not notice?" I asked laughing while holding my stomach and he shook his head blushing then cleared his throat.

"I meant to say um I don't mind." he said and I smiled.

"Good to know." I said linking my arm with his.

"Wha-What are you-" he started to ask.

"Let's take my break on the beach." I said grinning.

Be, confident even when rejected. Win his heart.

"Um sure." he said looking down.

Confessed that, next is UGH I CAN'T DO IT! This isn't me.

I blushed playing with my fingers unlinking our arms. Then looked up at him slowly. "You don't have to go if you don't want to." I said.

Gah, you failed. Fail fail fail fail. You just couldn't take the thought of being rejected. Could ya? Nooo, of course not. I'm such a wimp. 

"No, I want to." he said linking our arms again making me blush.

He pushed the door open and we went outside. The warm sand all on my feet. The salty smell in the air but I felt relaxed. I looked out as we walked. It was nice today even though lot's of things haven't gone right, maybe this has. Too bad Sir green eyes couldn't be here at this moment. I'm sure he'd like the relaxing and peaceful feeling. I took a deep breath smiling. Yeah, relaxed. I glanced at Traci and he was looking out to the ocean also. Perfect timing, just have to get the words out my mouth and hope they don't sputter. 

"Traci;" I said.

That's right, I'll show Ivan I can do it. I'm brave! I'll win him. I have the chance and I can do it! I...won't lose...let him slip through my fingers. I can do it. I can...do it?

"Hm?" he said looking at me curiously.

"I like you."
