(Jakey's POV)
'What if he doesn't like me back? What if I'm too weak for him and he doesn't want to be with me? I mean... he IS in Divinus Magia and is guild leader.' All these thoughts invading my brain kept me up until I decided that tonight, I wouldn't be sleeping.
"Oliver, you stay here. I'm going for a walk and I'll be back in a bit, ok?" I whispered to my little yellow friend, who let out a happy yelp before going back to sleep. Slowly, I managed to get out of bed without waking Kay up, who was sleeping across the room from me. I crept my way across the room, quietly opening the door then closing it softly before proceeding down the hall.
'Where do I go... how about David's garden? Yeah, it should be peaceful enough there.' I tip-toed my way down the stairs and managed to get out the front door without anyone else waking up. You see, the members of Divinus Magia decided to sleep over with us in the inn. Bad thing for me was that it meant my crush was sleeping in the same building.
'Would his brother even like the fact of me dating him?! I mean, even though me and Brandon are friends, how would he feel of me dating his brother?' I walked down the path as even more thoughts entered my brain, tearing my hopes apart. Eventually, I made it to a bench in the garden made by the ice stripper of the guild, and sat down just processing everything that my brain had told me.
'I'm too weak of a mage to even control my powers! Why would anyone as strong as him even think about dating me?' As my thoughts began to invade my head even more with these negative thoughts, the more I believed them. It wasn't till I felt wetness running down my cheeks and onto my legs that I had realised, I was crying. I wrapped my arms around my legs and curled against my chest, silently crying. 'He'll never like me...' That one line repeated itself over and over again until I just told myself it was the truth.
"Maybe I should just accept the fact that he doesn't like me..." I whispered quietly, my face still buried in my knees and gentle sobs coming being the only noise I heard in the dead of night. This whole time I was unaware... that I was being watched...
Moments before this whole sad boi time ;-;
(Bryan's POV)
'KNOCK KNOCK'
This is what I heard at 12:30am in the freaking morning, waking me up from my beauty sleep UwU. I groggily get out of bed and slump my way towards the door to see what crazy person I need to burn to a crisp for being awake at this time and waking me up. My face slightly straightened (gayed) when I saw the concerned look on Kay's face when I opened the door. "Kay? What's wrong? Why are you awake at this time?" I ask, still half asleep but now kinda awake at the same time.
"I woke up because I heard a door close and I turned to see Jakey's not in the room anymore" I was definitely awake by this. My best friend was missing in the middle of the night!! How the f3ck would I sleep through this?! "Prove it." I want to see if my best friend was actually missing before I start to worry too much, a.k.a more than I already am. She gestured me over to their shared room and that's where I saw all the proof I needed: Jakey's messy bed, Oliver on the floor sleeping and most importantly, Jakey himself is not here.
"Is there a reason you two are awake at this time at night?" We jumped when we suddenly heard a voice coming from the doorway and we turned to be met with Ritchie, one of the guild leaders of Divinus Magia. He looked quite drowsy so I think we woke him up from his sleep, which may have not been a good thing to wake up a guild leader...
"I woke up to a door closing and our guildmate, Jakey, wasn't in our room so I think he went out. He didn't even bring his best friend Oliver with him." Kay said, slightly panicking. I tried to stay calm but internally I was panicking and a little curious. 'Why would Jakey go out at this time?' I noticed the worried look on Ritchie's face when we said Jakey was missing but said nothing about it, just thinking it was a guild leader instinct.
"Did he tell either of you where he was going?" He asked a bit worried for our little light blue bean, even though I haven't seen Ritchie this worried about a guildmate from his own guild, so what's so special about Jakey?
"No, he just got up and left. We wouldn't be panicking if we knew where he was." Both Kay and I looked at each other before looking back at Ritchie, to see him looking at us with a bit of a concerned look. "Alright, thanks for alerting me about this missing guildmate. I'll go out now and see if I can find him. You two should head back to bed, we have a big day planned tomorrow." And the bandana-wearing guild leader walked back down the stairs and it wasn't until we heard the door close that we knew he was gone.
Kay then turned to me, confusion was written all over her face. "Why was Ritchie that worried? I mean, it's probably a guild leader instinct but he never worries THIS much about a guildmate in his own guild..." We went silent for a few moments before we looked into each other's eyes to notice that we both had a mischievous look on our face. Our faces only said one thing...
'SHIP'
Over to Ritchie and Jakey....
'Where is he?' I was walking around the entire island, at midnight, trying to find my cru- my brother's bean friend. Bryan and Kay told me he just went for a walk, so he couldn't have gone far. I don't really want to admit it but I've grown attached to the blue time mage. I might have even grown a small crush on the small bean. The only people who know about this are Brandon, Michael and BRI, to which I honestly don't know how she found out...
Suddenly, I could hear small sobs and crying coming from the direction towards David's garden, so I started to run towards the sobbing. Once I got there, I frowned at the sight that I never wanted to see. Jakey was sitting on the bench, knees up to his chest, shoulders moving only to indicate that he was crying and his face was buried in his legs.
'Awww, I don't like seeing him cry... it doesn't suit his adorable face.' I shook my head out of these thoughts and was about to walk over to him but he suddenly pulled out a guitar. Someone in one of the guilds told me he doesn't like people watching him sing, so I hid behind a bush to see if what people said about his voice was true. Once he started the song, I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
Italics = one of them is singing. Italic and Bold = both singing.
'Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart'
His voice sounded like an angel. My eyes widened when I heard what song he was singing because my mother sang it to me once and for some reason, the lyrics stayed with me.
'"I'll be over at ten, " you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah dah dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again'
I frowned as he might have remembered that one time I said I would be training him but I got caught up in work that I forgot... I didn't think he would take it this personally though.
'baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey) a little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh'
My heart broke a little but also fluttered when he started singing about someone. It could be me, but it could also be someone else... That thought alone pains me to the heart of him being with someone else. Since I knew that he had someone else he liked, I didn't have a chance but decided that I would at least have this moment. I got up from my spot, standing up and started walking towards the other bluenette slowly while I sang the next chorus.
(Jakey's POV)
Some more tears came from my face as I was about to sing the next chorus but I heard a different but familiar voice instead of my own. Normally when someone hears me singing, I get nervous and usually curl up or run away, but something about this voice just made me want to stay. So, I continued to strum my guitar.
'Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart'
While I continued to play my guitar along with the song, I turned around to see who was singing with me but I blushed at who I saw. He slowly walked up to me while even singing the next verse.
'You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah dah dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?'
I blushed even more when he sang the last part of that verse. 'Was it just the lyrics of the song? Or did he mean it...?' Anyways, I somehow stayed composed and continued strumming the tune of the song while we both sang the pre-chorus. I did the extra bits while he sang the main lines.
'baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey) a little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh'
Once he reached me, he sat right beside me, allowing my blush to grow even more, even as we both sang the last chorus, me doing the extra bits again.
Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart
He moved closer to me so our shoulders were nearly touching. He placed a hand on my leg, even as I flinched but immediately relaxed and blushed before he sang the last little verse.
'I, I, I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup'
Once I finished playing the last notes on my guitar, I put my guitar away as we stared into each other's eyes. Suddenly, realization hit me with how close he was to my face, basically making our noses touch. The anti-socialness in me decided to come out to play, so I curled up again on my end on the bench, backing away from him and making his hand come off my leg. I saw him frown at my actions and secretly moved a little closer to me, and this made me more nervous so I looked down.
"Hey, Jakey?" He asked softly, melting my heart a little while calming my nerves as I gathered the courage to look up at him.
"Y-Y-Yes?" I reply quietly, almost like an inaudible whisper.
"Do you... like someone?" Ritchie asked out of the blue, a hint of nervousness in his voice. I looked down, now blushing red as I was about to talk to my crush, about my crush. Slightly nodding my head to say yes, my face got even redder so thank god of Atlantide that I was hiding it.
"Do you think you could tell me who it is?" I froze when he asked that. I wasn't sure if to even answer the question because that would result in me confessing and possibly being rejected. But, somewhere in his voice, somewhere in that curiosity, I sensed hurt and it pained my heart to hear his voice like that. 'What if he doesn't like me? What if he rejects me right now and here?! But... what if he accepts my confession? You know what they say... you only live once so..."
I uncurled myself but looked to the floor as I fiddled with my sleeves, ready to admit my crush... to my crush. "I-I-It is... y-you." I whispered quietly.
"I'm sorry Jakey, I didn't quite hear you. Could you please speak up a bit?"
"I-I-I s-said it w-was you...." I said a louder, but still a whisper. I felt him freeze up next to me, and I thought I did something bad so I braced myself for a rejection. It was too silent for too long, I couldn't bare it anymore so I risked it and looked up. My body locked itself and my brain shut down completely when he did something I didn't think he would ever do...
He... kissed... my... cheek....
I did the only thing I could do; splutter complete nonsense till an actual sentence was formed. "I- I- you- I- wha- e-excuse me?!" I yelped, surprised that my crush just freaking KISSED my cheek and I raised a hand to stroke that cheek. I heard little chuckles coming from him at my reaction. "Y-You... l-like me t-too?" He smirked a little while coming a little closer to me, making me even more flustered than I was. "I mean, you ARE adorable when you get flustered, you have an amazing singing voice, you're a great mage, I did just kiss your cheek... would you like me to continue?~"
My face was burning from the compliments that Ritchie had just said to me and I hid my face AGAIN in my knees whining. "S-Staph it..."
He chuckles again and places a hand under my chin, pulling my head from its hiding spot. "Nuu, stop hiding your adorable face from me." Ritchie moves even closer to me, so our shoulders are literally touching, and he kisses my cheek again. I was so flustered at the moment, I forgot how cold it was so I hid in his side, shocking him a little.
"Are you alright?" He asks gently, wrapping his arms around me, pulling me closer to him.
"C-Cold..." I whisper, snuggling into his chest. I felt him shift next to and all of a sudden, he was lying slightly on the bench with me basically on his chest. Snuggling into his chest, his arms wrapped around my waist and holding me close.
"Is this warmer, love?" Ritchie whispered, pulling me that little bit closer to him like if he let go the I would disappear. A dark crimson colour flushed over my face as I stared widely at him at what he just called me. "L-L-Love...?" I sputtered out quietly like it was a foreign word.
Ritchie made a face seeming like he wasn't expecting me to hear that. "Oh shi- did I say that out loud?" He whsiper-yelled, his own face growing in the red colour of blood. I just slowly nodded my head, processing that my crush just called me 'love'.
"Oh, well you weren't supposed to hear that but I guess it's time to confess..." He took a deep breath, then sighed. "Jakey, I think you're an amazing mage and you're adorable and... I-I love you..." Ritchie looked away when he finished.
I just stared at him for a few moments before doing something I never thought that I would do... I kissed his cheek, making him turn a light pink colour.
"I l-love y-you too, Ri-Ritchie," I whisper as I snuggle back into his chest. I felt him chuckling before he pulled me a little closer, getting comfortable on the bench. We just enjoyed the silence that the night brought to us as we both slowly fell asleep, content with each other.
'I will have to ask in the morning whether this means we're boyfriends or not but that can wait. I just want to enjoy this peace, happy to know my crush likes me back.'
~-~-~-~-EXTRA BIT-~-~-~-~
(Brandon's POV)
I woke up this morning to see that my brother wasn't here.
"Hey, has anyone seen Ritchie?" I asked anyone I saw but everyone said no. I was starting to get worried but then I saw Kay and Bryan along with Oliver... But no Jakey. This was weird because Jakey doesn't go anywhere without his little yellow buddy. Deciding to walk up to the two, er, three guild members, I was gonna ask if they've seen my brother, or even Jakey.
"Kay, Bryan. Have either of you two seen my brother? Or Jakey?" I asked them both suddenly, making both of them jump and turn towards me. "Oh, hey Brandon! We haven't seen either of them since last night." Bryan said, smiling a little which kinda confused me.
"Why did you guys see them last night? And could you please tell me where they are?" I sent them a little glare to say 'if either of you had anything to do with their disappearance, I won't hesitate to kill you both.' What can I say, I'm very protective of my family and friends.
"I woke up in the middle of the night and Jakey wasn't in the room. Bryan even saw that his bed was empty" Kay starts, looking at Bryan to continue.
"I'm guessing he went for a little walk to clear his mind. He has been a bit... Odd lately. We may have woken Ritchie up and he went looking for Jakey, because he was worried for some reason? Idk." Bryan shrugged, the grin on their faces never leaving, but growing.
"Well, that's odd... Wanna help me look for them?" They both eagerly nodded their heads, running out the door before me. "I was meaning with me..." I shook my head before following them out the door.
At the Gardens...
(Jakey's POV)
"What do you mean I get the big brother talk?!"
I immediately woke up once I heard Ritchie yelling, flinching at the loudness of him and curled up more while covering my ears. Ritchie softened his grip on me as I felt a hand stroking my fluffy blue hair. This made me purr while looking up at him with tired eyes.
"Are you okay?" He asked softly, still running his hand through my hair. I nodded and uncovered my ears, wrapping my own arms around him, and getting comfy again. "Y-Yeah, I j-just d-don't like ye-yelling..." I mumbled quietly, hiding my face in his chest.
"I'm sorry~" He cooed, his hand still softly stroking my hair, making me more sleepy than before.
"Well, this is adorable but remember brother, you're gonna have a small 'talk' with the three of us when you've finished your little date." I heard Brandon say sweetly, before I heard footsteps walking away from us then silence.
"Oh god... Now I don't want this to end." He groaned as he stopped playing with my hair and placed it back around my waist. I giggled lightly before placing a gentle kiss on his jaw, smiling up at him. In response, I got a soft smile back in return.
"Also, um Jakey? Would you like to be... my boyfriend?" Ritchie asked nervously. I giggled happily before nuzzling his neck. "O-Of course!"
He chuckled at my excitement and placed a kiss on the top of my head, saying he accepts my answer. "Good~ I love you~" Ritchie purred.
"I l-love y-you too~"
