Author's notes:

This one takes place in the present My Street. I honestly thought that Garroth and Laurence's kiss was hilarious in Katelyn's play. I just had to make a Garrence fanfic. I hated the Aarmau moment, but thought that that was just plain comedy gold. I know it's been a while since that eppisode came out, but I really want to cover any and all ships in this story, including the gay ones. I personally have nothing against it, but if you guys do, then just don't read this one. You won't hurt my feelings. If your uncomfortable reading gay fanfics, that's fine with me, just please don't hate on me because I wrote this. Now, enjoy the fanfic!

Laurence's P.O.V.

I can't believe it. I've fallen in love with my competition, Garroth. I don't know why, I don't know when, but I do know it was before our little... incident. Katelyn's play really hurt my dignity. I can't seem to take my mind off it. With Aphmau dating Aaron, Travis going after Katelyn and Lucinda, Dante After Nicole, and Kawaii~Chan just not being my type, I'm fresh out of options.

I doubt Garroth feels the same about me as I do him. How would I even tell him? We're like brothers! Ugh... I don't even wanna think about it. I lay down on my bed in my room, with only my thought keeping me company.

I can hear Dante and Travis fighting over the remote. When will they ever learn. I decide to just tune them out. I whip out my phone, put my headphones in, and put on the song, "Safe and sound." I completely stop listening after the first chorus.

My brain just won't shut off. What would the others say? Would Cadenza be okay with it? What about Dante and Travis? I know Aphmau would be okay with it, because she's just a non-judgmental person. Kawaii~Chan seems to ship everything, so I'm not worried about her either. They'd be happy for Garroth and I if we got together, it's everyone else that concerns me. I don't see why they would be negative about it, I just don't know for sure...

Garroth's P.O.V.

Things have been awkward between Laurence and I lately. I can't quite put my finger on it, but he's hiding something from me. I wonder if it's the same thing I've been hiding from him? I have to admit, for the longest time, I've feelings for Laurence. My feelings for Aphmau distracted me from him for well, forever. I've loved Aphmau longer than Laurence, so I just focused on her. Now that she's with Aaron, I have no more distraction. Without a doubt, I still love Aphmau more than Laurence, but I know I have to move on.

This isn't going to be easy. I want to tell Laurence how I feel, but I don't know how. It's like I'm trapped in my own mind, with all my thoughts racing, fear rising, and doubt bubbling inside me. I don't like this one bit. Mabey Laurence and I can go do something just the two of us, and at he end of the day, I'll tell him. If I can do that, then I'll have overcome one of my greatest fears.

Laurence's P.O.V.

I hear a knock at my bedroom door, and I take out my headphones. "Come in," I say as Garroth enters. He seems nervous about something. "Hey Laurence," he says.

"Hey. What's up?"

"Well, I um just thought that mabey um," he stutters. There's only one time Garroth ever stutters, and that's around Aph. "Garroth, are you okay?" I ask.

"Oh I'm fine, I was just wondering if you wanted to somewhere to escape Dante and Travis," askes Garroth.

"Sounds better than listening to them argue all day. You know how it is on their Netflix Sundays."

"Okay, where to?"

I think about for a minute. "How about that park we used to go to when we were kids? I think it's still there."

Garroth's face seems to light up at the mention of our favorite childhood hangout. I remember going every weekend with Garroth. Aphmau would come sometimes too. We always had fun together. Garroth's voice brought me out of my memory, "I love that place! Let's go!"

He races out of the house. I laugh at this. I haven't seen Garroth this excited in a loooooooooong time.

"Where are you two going?" askes Dante.

"Somewhere Garroth and I went a lot when we were kids," I reply.

"Any cute girls going?" askes Travis.

Dante looks at him with a jelous stare, "Don't you even think about it Travis! We skipped last week, and have a ton of catching up to do!"

"Alright, Alright," said Travis as he turned back to the TV. I walked outside, and saw Garroth waiting impatiently. "Come on slow poke!" he yelled.

"I'm coming there speedy," I shout back.

"Okay then..CASANOVA!"

That was the last straw. Garroth knows it bugs me when anyone calls me that. I run after him as fast as I can, feeling like I was back in high school. We ran all the way to the park. The only reason we'd stopped, was because we were so out of breath, we were panting like dogs.

Garroth and I both couldn't believe it was still here. The park hadn't changed a bit. The same benches, the same bridge, even the same paths. It was exactly like we remembered.

Garroth's P.O.V.

Laurence and I spent all day walking around the park, talking about memories. Who would've thought that this place would still be here. There was only one thing that could make this day better, and I knew exactly what it was. "Laurence, follow me," I say. Before he could protest, I ran off. He followed until we came to the place where we'd met.

"Wanna recite it?" askes Laurence.

"Recite what?"

"WW2. When we met genius!"

"Alright. Let's do it!"

The Shadow-Knights were picking on me that day. They told me the only reason everyone likes me so much, was because of my looks. They had said that I wasn't really liked for me. This had been going on for weeks, but that day was different. Laurence came by, and made them to stop. I remember the conversation perfectly.

"Guys, back off!" Laurence had said.

"Oh come on Laurence. You used to do this kinda stuff too," said Gene.

"Yeah, what happened to the cool you?" Zenix asked.

"That wasn't a cool me," said Laurence.

"Sure it was. I liked you that way. Cute and bad go hand in hand," said Sasha.

"Sasha, don't start," said Laurence.
The dispute eventually escalated into a fist fight. Laurence and I fought side by side against them. Even Sasha threw a few punches. We beat the boys easy, and Sasha had to choice but to run. We did a play by play of the entire incident. It was fun. When we finished, we both started laughing.

"This is the most fun I've had in a while! Thanks Garroth," says Laurence.

"Yeah. Me to." There was a long silence. Now's the perfect time to tell him. "Uh Laurence, I...I need to tell you something. You might think I'm a freak, but I can't hide it anymore..."
I seem to have his full attention. Good. "F-for the l-longest time I've...I've felt a....a certain way about...you."

Laurence's P.O.V.

Oh. My. IRENE! I know what Garroth is about to say. He's going to say something I never thought I would hear in a million years.

"Laurence, I...I...I love you."

I feel my face and ears burn up. I can't believe it! He actually feels the same! I say the one thing I possibly can, "I love you too Garroth."

That took me a while, but I did it! Now, I have a very important question for you all. Who's death was more tragic, Zane's or Aaron's? Personally, (Please don't kill me for saying this) I think I miss Zane more than Aaron. I ship Laurmau so hard, and honestly have had this hatred for Aaron since Aarmau came cannon in My Street. Let me know what you guys think. Also, feel free to ask me questions, and even give suggestions. I'd love that! Anyways, see ya!
