Haha (totally not) creative and (un)original title go brrrr (Welp at least the idea is creative). It's a humanized high school AU btw. Also I added both the fluff and angst symbols because I didn't know wether this could be counted as angst or fluff. So it's your choice to see this as angst, fluff or both. Also this will include one of my OC's named Playcard. Enjoy! 

It was Monday. Nickel was walking to school. On his way, he saw Baseball.

"Hey dude." Nickel said as he started walking next to his pal.

"Hey Nickel." Baseball said, smiling. "It sucks that weekends always have to end." 

"Mhm, totally." Nickel agreed.

When they arrived at school, they saw some other kids on the schoolyard. They went to look for Suitcase. 

The two eventually found her talking to Balloon.

"Hey Suitcase." Baseball said happily.

Suitcase turned around.

"Oh hey guys." She said with a smile.

"Hey." Balloon said.

"We weren't talking to you, so scram." Nickel said, glaring at Balloon. 

Balloon flinched and walked away.

"Nickel, why are you always being so harsh on him?" Suitcase asked.

"Because fuck him, that's why." Nickel replied. "Also he's a bitch. Remember when he pushed Taco down the stairs because she was "being slow and useless"? And when he-"

"Nickel, she wasn't even there at that time." Baseball interrupted Nickel. 

"Yeah, Balloon was being nice to me because I actually gave him a chance. And you should do that too." 

"Yeah yeah whatever." Nickel muttered.

The bell rang and everyone went inside.

(Time skip because classes are boring and I dunno how to make em interesting)

It eventually was lunch time. Everyone went to the cafetaria to eat their lunch. Baseball, Nickel and Suitcase went to sit at a table. Box was sitting there too, staring into the void silently. A few moments later, Balloon came in. He approached the three.

"Hey, can I sit with you guys?" He asked politely.

"Uhh, no? This is a table for the alliance only." Nickel replied.

"Box isn't a part of our alliance though." Baseball said.

"But he doesn't disturb us. He just stares into the void, unlike Balloon..." 

Balloon frowned and wanted to walk away. 

"Of course you can sit with us." Suitcase said.

"Nope I'm leaving." Nickel said, grabbing his tray and standing up. "Come Baseball, let's leave these two alone." 

Baseball stood up silently and followed Nickel. 

"Dude, you really gotta quit doing this." Baseball said when they sat down at another table.

"He has to quit stalking us."

"He just wants to be friends with us, jeez." 

"Oh, so now you're defending him?"

"Well, yes! He's a human too, just like us." 

"A bitchy human." Nickel muttered as he took a bite of the sandwich he bought. It tasted like shit, but he still ate it.

They continued eating in silence. Suddenly, Suitcase ran up to them, in tears.

"Guys! Guys!" She exclaimed, sitting down next to them

"Lemme guess, Balloon dumped you? Could've expected it." Nickel said.

"No! That's absolutely not it!" Suitcase replied. "He... he's probably going to change schools... He just told me."

"Welp, that's another pesky kid gone." Nickel said with a smug face.

"Dude!" Baseball said, appalled. 

"What? Most of the kids here hate him. It'll be better for him and us honestly." 

"Well I wish you moved schools instead." Suitcase whispered.

"What was that?" Nickel asked, glaring.

Suitcase flinched and looked down. "Nothing!" 

Eventually, lunch was over and everyone went back to class.

(Time skip: a few days later)

Balloon was walking down the halls with Suitcase.

"So you're really moving away?" Suitcase asked sadly.

"Yep, unfortunately. I'll miss you Suitcase." Balloon replied, also sadly.

They suddenly got interrupted by someone screaming.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT BASEBALL, BITCH?!" 

It sounded like Nickel. Balloon and Suitcase quickly walked further into the hallway to see what happened.

They walked in on Trophy and Nickel yelling at each other.

"I SAID HE'S A FAT BITCH!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HIM!"

"YOU ONLY WANT ATTENTION!"

Nickel screamed, then jumped on Trophy to slap him, but Trophy held him firmly and slammed him against the wallwith his head. Nickel yelled in pain. MePhone4 and Toilet, the janitor, came running up to the fight. MePhone4 tried to pull Trophy off of Nickel, but got punched in the eye. Suitcase decided to walk away since she hates violence. Balloon still stayed because he can handle it better and because he was genuinely concerned for Nickel. 

"OH MY GOSH! MISTAH PHONE! ARE YOU OK?!" Toilet shouted.

"Ugh, yeah I'm ok." MePhone4 replied.

Trophy kept punching Nickel until...

"GET THE FUCK OFF HIM, NOW!"

...MePhone4S came running in. If MePhone4S starts yelling at you, you're basically fucked. He's strict and therefore will give you a pretty big punishment like detention for a few weeks or even months or even getting expelled. He's also the only teacher to swear at other students or teachers.

"Why would I?!" Trophy said.

"BECAUSE YOU'LL GET DETENTION FOR TWO MONTHS IF YOU DON'T!"

Trophy sighed and dropped Nickel. Nickel fell down and kept laying there. 

"NOW GET BACK TO CLASS, IDIOT!" 

Trophy stomped away, back to class. 

Toilet decided to go back to doing his work as well. MePhone4 stayed. Balloon didn't go back to class either. Instead, he walked over to Nickel. Nickel was pretty fucked up. His nose and lip were bleeding, he had a black eye, he was unconscious, you get it. 

"MePhone4? Can I bring Nickel to the school nurse?" Balloon asked.

"Sure, but make sure you are back in time." MePhone4 replied. "I'm heading back to class as well."

Balloon nodded and picked Nickel up. Nickel was pretty light because he was pretty skinny and short. He started carrying Nickel to the school nurse. When he got there, he explained what happened and the school nurse treated him.

(Time skip: a few minutes later)

Nickel woke up. He opened his eyes and groaned in pain. He saw Balloon hovering above him. 

"Hey Nickel, you're finally awake. Are you ok?" Balloon asked.

Nickel groaned again. 

"Does it look like I'm ok?" Nickel replied. "Why are you even here? What happened?"

"Trophy knocked you out and messed up your face pretty bad. I carried you to the nurse. She's calling your parents right now because she thinks you have a nose fracture." Balloon explained.

"Oh." Nickel said, realizing Balloon actually helped him. "Well, thanks for helping me I guess, even though I don't know why you'd do that."

"No problem. I did it because I care about you, Nickel, even after what you've done. I care about everyone at this school, even if I don't like them. I mean, we're all humans."

Nickel looked surprised.

"You... you care about me?"

"Of course." Balloon said with a soft giggle. 

Nickel smiled as well. 

"Well uhh thanks again I guess?" 

He suddenly realized Balloon is actually a pretty nice kid. His smile faded once he thought about that. He looked down pretty sadly.

"What's wrong?" Balloon asked.

"Nothing! Just leave me alone now..." Nickel replied.

"Oh ok then." Balloon said, before getting up and out of the school nurse's office.

(Time skip: a few weeks later)

Today was the last day for Balloon to be at Inanimate High School. Nickel felt a little upset about this, which he didn't expect. Today, the class would say their goodbyes to Balloon and also give him a gift they all worked on. It was a big sheet of salmon-colored paper (A3) with everyone's names and messages on it and a photo of the class that was taken during school photos. 

Balloon was standing at the front of the class, looking around quite shyly because he didn't like being the center of attention that much. 

"Balloon, we're all sad you have to go, but you know what they say; friends come and go." MePhone4 said. "We also made a gift for you. Our whole class worked on it."

MePhone4 pulled out the sheet and gave it to Balloon. Balloon took the gift.

"Thanks..." he said, looking down with a small smile.

"Ok everyone, if you wanna say anything to Balloon before his parents come pick him up, come to the front of the class. But hurry up, because his parents are coming in..." MePhone4 looked at his watch. "In five minutes or so." 

Suitcase was the first one to stand up and walk up to Balloon. She hugged Balloon and started to cry.

"I'm gonna mis you so much! You're my best friend..." she sobbed.

Balloon hugged back. 

"I'll miss you too, Suitcase." He said, a few small tears appearing in his eyes.

Suitcase then let go again and went to sit down at her table, sobbing. The next one to stand up was Nickel. Everyone looked at him confused. Nickel walked up to Balloon.

"Balloon, I just wanna say that... I'm... I'm sorr- ugh! I'm sorry! For bullying you, everything! You're actually a very nice kid, but I never took the time to realize it... I hope you can forgive me because this was difficult to say and my mouth feels numb now." Nickel looked down. 

He felt tears burn behind his eyes for some reason, but swallowed them. He suddenly felt Balloon hugging him, softly crying.

"It's alright..."

Nickel hesitated before hugging back. It felt surprisingly good to him. 

"You know? I need to tell you something before I go..." Balloon said. 

"Sure, what is it?" Nickel asked, letting go.

"I... I actually started getting a little crush on you sometime. Do whatever you want with this information, since I'm pretty sure you don't like me back..."

Balloon looked down. Nickel blushed. He quickly shook it off. He walked back to his table, trying to hide his red face.

"GAY, GAY, HOMOSEXUAL, GAY!" Trophy shouted.

"Look who's talkin'." Knife said.

Balloon's parents then came in to pick Balloon up.

(Time skip: years later)

Everyone had graduated. OJ decided to throw a party. Since he was a pretty popular guy, many people wanted to come. The party would be at his parents' hotel. OJ had also texted everyone this text:

"Hey guys, I just wanna say some news about the party. Everyone will get a free stay for one night at the hotel. I arranged that with my parents. Also, if you know some friends who aren't from this school, you can invite them too. The hotel's pretty big so that'll be alright."

Suitcase had read this and had texted Balloon about the party. He wanted to come. He would bring a friend he made at his school too. 

It was a few days later and evening. The party was going great so far. Nickel was hanging around with Baseball and Suitcase. They were talking about random stuff.

Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.

"Hey guys."

Suitcase turned around with a smile. There was Balloon. A girl with white and red hair and heart earrings was standing next to him. 

"Balloon!" 

She hugged him tightly. Balloon hugged back with a smile. Suitcase then let go of Balloon.

"Who's that girl?" 

"Oh, this is Playcard. I befriended her at school." Balloon said.

"Hey guys, Balloon told me about you. He also told me about some guy named Nickel whom he wanted to befriend, but Nickel kept bullying him. And honestly screw that guy! Why would anyone try to befriend a bully?" Playcard said.

"Um, excuse me, I'm right here. And Balloon used to be a bully too y'know. But honestly I regret bullying him since... he's actually a nice kid, but I didn't realize that." Nickel said. "Also wow I didn't expect you to show up. You've... changed pretty much." 

Balloon indeed changed. His voice changed a little and he sounded and looked more mature as well. Balloon also had more freckles than when they were in high school. Balloon's hair also was in a little ponytail. He looked pretty cute. Nickel blushed a bit when he thought that. 

"Yeah, you too. Even though you're still small." Balloon chuckled. "But your voice did get deeper though." 

"Oh shut up. I'm not that small and my voice wasn't that high back then. Also I'm just as tall as Suitcase." Nickel said, but then smiled. "But off topic, I'm actually glad to see you again." 

"Same. Also, uh, remember what I told you when we said goodbye?" 

Nickel blushed more. He decided to pretend like he forgot.

"Uhh, n-no? What did you say?" 

"I said I developed a crush on you. And to be honest, it never faded..." 

Playcard started giggling. "Ooohhhhhh!" 

Baseball and Suitcase just smiled. 

"Balloon, I..." Nickel said.

He then grabbed Balloon and pulled him in for a kiss.

"I think I kinda started liking you after what you told me." He then said. His face was as red as a tomato. 

"Awww that was adorable!" Playcard exclaimed. 

"Yeah!" Suitcase agreed.

"I didn't expect that from you, Nickel." Baseball said with a little chuckle. 

"Yeah yeah whatever." Nickel muttered.

Balloon hugged Nickel. Nickel didn't hesitate and hugged back.

"Wow, you never liked affection." Baseball said. 

"Well, I'm not denying my gayness, Baseball." Nickel replied. "At least, not anymore..." 

The party went great for the rest of the night. At like 2 am, everyone went to bed. Balloon insisted on sharing a room with Nickel. Nickel was flustered at first, but then agreed.

And ever since then, they were into a happy, healthy relationship.

2159 words! Also I'm sorry if the ending looks bad. I kinda rushed it-

Hope you enjoyed anyways!
