Chapter Text
D3rlord3 knew that Avery liked him. It pained him to know that he would have to one day shatter his best friend’s heart with just a few simple words.
He had called it a gift. D3rlord3 called it a curse.
He felt a presence beside him. He knew it was Avery.
“Hey, D3r.”
God he hated it when he used that voice. It made him feel so guilty for what he was about to do.
“I, uh- I have something to tell you.”
D3rlord3’s gaze bore into the ground, his brow furrowed to the point it started to hurt.
Fuck. Here it comes.
Avery exhaled heavily, hyping himself up. There's no point for that.
“I uhm, I’ve felt like this for a while now, and uh- I really really like you, uhm it would be super awesome sauce if you felt the same because you're just so super cool and nice and handsome and cool and-” he trailed off, now noticing that D3rlord3 hadn't moved.
“D3r?”
He looked up. He hated it when Avery looked at him like that. His big eyes admiring him lovingly, a feeling he couldn't reciprocate.
“‘I’m sorry.” He managed to choke out, his voice breaking. Tears pricked at his eyes, knowing what was to come. “But you'll always be a friend.”
He looked away, unable to bear the look on the slime’s face.
Avery sniffled. “oh. okay.” He walked away.
Shit, Aves, I'm so sorry.
His vision blurred, a stray tear sneaking past the rim of his eye.
If only he was a girl.
