Chapter 30

You smiled brightly ready for another day at the convention.


Aphmau and Zane asked if you wanted to match with them and you nodded.


They were dressed as Mabel and Dipper from Gravity Falls while you were dressed as Mables pet pig, Waddles.


"Kawaii~Chan! Are you guys ready?" Aphmau questioned, holding you by your waist.


"Aphmau~Senpai! Are you ready to go! Oh~! Aphmau~Senpai and Y/N~Senpai are so Kawaii in their new costumes!"


"I like mine today! I'm a cute piggy! Oink Oink!"


It was a Waddles Wunsey and Aphmau painted your nose pink like you had asked.


"Aww! Thanks Kawaii~Chan! You look beautiful too! You costumes always come out so perfect! The attention to detail is amazing!"


"Kawaii~Chan lives and breaths Anime conventions! Now that today is day 2, we need to make the most of it!"


The two continued to talk as you admired your outfit.


Aphmau all of a sudden said something that ticked Katelyn off cause she shot up.


"Don't. Even. Aphmau." She glared.


"Ehehe~! Katelyn...You have to idimit it was really...Really...Unexpected of you."


"I just got caught up in the moment! Thats. All!"


"Mhm~ Guess the moment really got you seriously caught up cause your were--"


"Y/N!" Katelyn growled, making you giggle.


"Eh~? What moment?" Kawaii~Chan questioned.


"Katelyn...Its okay if you like Travis!"


"Aphmau! Not you too!" Katelyn groaned.


"Heh...Not like that. But I mean...A friend. I know he's really weird around women...But I'm just saying he can have some pretty sweet moments."


"Mhm! When Aphmau went to work he took me out for Icecream and stuff! And he glared at some guys who were picking on me for losing a game at the arcade!" You smiled.


"Instead of hitting him away, why don't you try talking to him or maybe even hanging out and getting to know him!"


"Did something happen between Katelyn~Sama and Travis~Kun."


"Sorta..."


"They kis--" Aphmau quickly covered your mouth making you pout.


"Ughhhh! I don't NEED this right now! Its bad enough Nicole got food poisoning and had to leave but she left with Dante taking care of her! Ugh!" Katelyn groaned.


"What wrong with that?" You questioned.


"Fine. Y'know what? I'll hang out with Travis today."


"REALLY!?" You and Aphmau smiled.


"Yeah. I mean... I meditated on it last night and really...The whole kissing him thing was immature of me to do...I'm going to go meet up with him and apologize."


"Aww! Thats so sweet of you Katelyn!" You smiled.


"Kiss!?"


"I don't think Travis wants an apology for that, but I get what your saying. Just next time, don't let this friendlt rivalry with Lucinda get under your skin. Okay?" Aphmau smiled, completely discarding what Kawaii~Chan questioned.


"Heh...I won't. Now I'm heading down to the con. Meet you guys there."


"Oh! Kawaii~Chan will follow Katelyn~Sama! Y'know, Kawaii~Chan needs a partner for the Para~Para dance contest now that nicole is out!"


"Pfft. Fine. Buy me lunch and I'm do it.." Katelyn scoffed, walking off.


Kawaii~Chan squealed and followed her.


"Glad to see Katelyn coming around."


"Me too! Oink!" You smiled.


Aphmau giggled, and ruffled your head.


You saw Aaron complementing himself in the window.


"Wow. I didn't and you were that conceited to say that to your own reflection." Aphmau teased.


"Uh...N-No. Thats not what I ment." Aaron stammered.


"Uh-Huh. Well...You do look beautiful in your costume." Aphmau smirked.


He was dressed as Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tail.


"That something I should be saying to you." He was dressed as Gray Fullbuster from Fairytail.


"Pfft. Its just a sweatshirt." Aphmau smiled.


You looked at Aaron and placed a hand on your chin.


"It suits you. You never put on a shirt." You scoffed, making Aphmau laugh.


"I'm offended!" He pouted, making a small playful gasp.


"Don't be..." You smiled.


"So, What are you doing out here?"


"Just waiting for You, Zane, and Y/N. Zanes taking forever to get ready."


"Yeah...He is. I just talked to him and hes said hes almost ready."


"Yeah. I'm sure he'll be ready in a few more hours. Oink." You sighed, plopping on the couch.


"Aphmau...You really do look beautiful."


"Hey. It thought we were done with this joke."


"I mean it." Aaron smiled.


Aphmau blushed, as you stuck out your tongue.


You were tempted to ruin this moment but you didn't.


You wanted to see how it played out.


"I wanted to talk to you about Zane. He...He really cares about you. Doesn't he."


"He does. He considers me and Y/N his best friends. I honestly think hes afraid of losing me. But--"


"Ah! There you are! For a second I thought you guys had gone to the convention without me!" Zane said, coming out from the hotel room.


You turned to him and smiled.


He was dresses as Dipper from Gravity falls to match Aphmau and yourselves outfit.


"Never Zane! I would've told you first! Even if those cupcakes are making it harder for you get into your costume!" Aphmau laughed.


You saw Aaron lower his head making you shoot him a worried glance.


"H-HEY!"


"I'm just joking. Your fit brah. Don't worry. Aaron, Y/N, andnI would never take off without telling you."


"I know you and Y/N wouldn't Aphmau. Him on the other hand..."


"I wouldn't either."


"Suuuure. I know your just waiting to steal her from me..."


Steal him from her?


What does he mean by that?


Zane has been acting odd around Aphmau latley.


You'll never judge his actions but sometimes you get confused.


Does he like Aphmau or not?


Hes very protective of her but not in the same way a friend would.


Not platonically either.


Like...In a jealous boyfriend sort of way.


But maybe your just overthinking it.


"I'd ask you first."


"Whatever."


You could feel the tension in the air.


"Calm down you two! You guys got along to well yesturday."


"Did they really? Oink..." You muttered.


"I know were all crank cause we stayed up so late last night but, lets just go to the convention and have fun! Come on! Theres some ponys I wanna check out."


"Ponys again? I wanna S/N kiss one more time!" You grinned.


"Didn't you snap a picture?"


"No! But I should if I see them again! Aphmau! Give me your phone!"


"Hey! Don't snatch!" Aaron and Zane chuckled at both of your behavior.


Once at the pony stand, Aphmau groaned.


"Ugghhh. I've already bought so many! I swear, I'm going to go broke doing this!"


"You can always stop y'know..." Zane and yourself scoffed.


"Ehehe...You just want your collection to get bigger then mine! Pfft! Never..." Aphmau glared, pointing at Zane.


"Darn it..." Zane whispeared.


"What was that?"


"Oh nothing! So Aaron, how big is YOUR Pony collection?"


"I just have one."


"Thats good! Oink!" You smiled.


"How long are you going to put Oink at the end of your sentences for?" Aaron chuckled.


"Until I'm out of this costume! Oink!" He ruffled your head making you giggle.


"W-WHAT!?" Zane gasped.


Mostly at the, 'Aaron having one pony' thing.


"She gave it to me."


"Oh really now? Which one?"


"The one that remind me of him the most obviously. Big Jack! I gave one Y/N too! She remins me of F/P!"


"I actually can see that." Zane nodded.


"Yup."


"Mhm!" You and Aaron smiled.


"Hm? Oh! Is that limited edition Pinkie Cake!?" Zane grinned, running off.


"H-Hey Aphmau...?" Aaron stammered.


You noticed he was trying to make a romantic gesture and you walked off with Zane.


"Is it limited edition?"


"I'm not sure...I'm trying to examine it further..."


"Your really thorough about this stuff huh?" You smiled.


Zane didn't respond making you chuckle.


You saw someone looking at you from the corner of your eye and turned to them.


They immediately walked away making you raise an eyebrow in confusion.


"GAH! That pony was nothing new!" You heard Zane scoff.


You quickly walked over to the three still feeling weird about someone watching you like that.


"I could've told you that. You can tell from here!" Aphmau scoffed.


"Whatever..." Zane pouted.


Aaron sighed lightly and you looked at him nervously.


"What? Did I interuppt something?"


"No. Its nothing "


"Uh-Huh. I'm watching your eyes."


"Zane. Knock it off. Oink." You glared.


"What does that even mean..?" Aaron retorted.


You all went to watch Kawaii~Chan and Katelyn dance as Aphmau went to talk with Travis.


Travis began to flirt with Aphmau making Zane and Aaron growl. You just facepalmed.


"Y/N...Zane...Can I talk to you two for a moment in private?" Aaron questioned.


"Uh.. Serious Convo?" You questioned.


"Serious convo." Aaron nodded.


You nodded.


"Kay'. I won't say Oink." You smiled.


Aaron lifted you up and rested you on his hip.


"Why do you need to talk to me? Can't you just tell me..." Zane glared.


"Did you not hear him? Its a seriously Convo!" You whispeared.


"Ugh, Fine." Zane scoffed, as you all walked off.


When outside Aaron sat you down and you stood next to Zane.


"So, whats so important couldn't say it infront of Aphmau."


"I need to ask you two a question and I need you two answer honestly." You raised an eyebrow confused.


He was definitely serious about this.


You could tell based on the look in his eye.


"Go on." Zane persisted.


You nodded as a sign of agreeing with him.


"Zane, are you in love with Aphmau?"


"MM--W-WHAT!?"


"Are you in love with her." You looked at Zane expectedly.


You won't be shocked if he was.


It would just make things a tad awkward between Aaron and him.


Not that things aren't already like that but still.


"W-WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME SUCH A QUESTION!?"


"I need to know."


"W-WHY IS IT ANY OF YOUR BUISNESS! GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY YOU FEEL THE NEED TO ASK ME SUCH AN INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION!"


"I...I want to ask her to be my girlfriend." Aaron sighed.


You stood there in disbelief.


You saw it coming.


You did.


But if he does ask Aphmau out, all your worries can become real worries.


What your life is going to become on the street.


Aaron saw your uneasy face but turned his attention back to Zane.


"Wha...I...I thought you two already talked about holding off. Because everyone else wouldn't leave you alone. She told me you both thought it would be selfish."


"I don't care if its selfish anymore. When I saw you and her at the dinner with your mother, I thought I'd lost her to you. It hurt. It was hard for me to watch. It was one of the only times I can truly say that I was jealous of somebody else being next to her."


"I could tell. I was....Hoping to take her from you."


"So you love her then."


"I-I...I don't know. I know she likes you a lot. And...I know she likes you a lot. And...I don't want to get between you two. But I don't want you to take her from me. I love hanging out with her. So if you do ask her...To be yours...Promise me you won't keep her to yourself."


You awaited Aarons answer hoping that he'll agree to Zanes terms.


In a way, you and Zane are similar in this situation.


"Your her best friend. I'd never take that from her. So, are you going to be okay with this?"


"You don't NEED my permission. I'm not her father y'know."


"You were once." Aaron chuckled.


"WH--HEY! THAT DOESN'T COUNT! Heh...Aaron. Go for it. You have my blessing."


"Thank you. Now...For the most important blessing of all. Y/N." You looked up at Aaron nervously.


"Y/N...You heard all of what I just said right now. Right?"


"Yes."


"So...How about you..." Aaron got down to your height and grabbed your hand.


"Your important to me. Your important to Aphmau. I don't want this decision to hurt you. So...Can I get your blessing?"


You sighed and snatched your hand away.


"Aaron. I don't care what you do. I won't get in the way. I promise. I won't be a burden to Aph. I swear. Y-You don't have to ask me either. Shes not mother. If she was, that'd be another story. But shes not, so don't worry about me. I never planned to live on the street forever. You can do whatever you want. I'm not apart of it." You glared.


Those words were hard to say and you felt like you couldn't breath for the minete Aaron stared at you.


He stood up and placed a hand on your head.


"Okay." He nodded.


"Lets get back to Aphmau then." You nodded, hands a little shakey.


He knew you were lying.


He always knew.


He knew what you ment to say.


He knew what every single word that fell out of your mouth ment.


'Aaron. I care about what you do. I might get in the way I know. I'm already a burden to Aph. I see that. I don't like that you asked me. This is a tough choice. Aphmaus my Mommy now. If she wasn't that'd another story. But she is, so I'm scared about how you'll feel about my choice. Whatever you do with her as the years go by, please, make sure I'm apart of it. I wanna be apart of your lives too. And don't take my Mommy away from me.'


Thats what you said.


Thats what he saw.


He knows what you ment.


You just wished Aphmau knew too.


When you all got back to Aphmau, Travis was trying to cover up a horrible flirting attempt.


"Aphmau...May I speak to you alone?" Aaron questioned.


"One second. Let me deal with Travis hes ju--"


"You should go Aphmau. We'll take care of Travis." Zane scoffed, pulling his sword.


You glared daggers at Travis making him shiver.


"Ehehehe! Look, I'm just trying to check out Katelyn! O-Okay?" Travis gulped.


Once done 'talking' to Travis Zane looked down at you.


"Y/N. Did you mean all that stuff you said back there?" You paused and put your hands in the onesies pockets.


"I'm a good lair." You muttered.


Zane looked at you confused but you just made your way back to the hotel room.


While Aaron confessed to Aphmau, you heard all of Aphmaus woes causing you and Zane to reveal yourselves.


"Heh...You don't need to worry us."


"Mhm." You nodded.


"H-Huh!?" "We talked about this." You mumbled, looking off to the side.


"We'll leave you two be." Zane smiled.


You gave Aphmau one quick glance before following Zane out.


You sat on the bed as Zane kept staring at you.


"You and Vlyad have the same issue. Starings rude."


"Sorry...I've just never seen you like this before."


"What are you talking about?"


"So sad...So worried."


"I dunno what to do Zane. I feel out of place all of a sudden. I mean...Aaron and Aphmau are going to move in together eventually right? W-Wheres that gonna leave me? I never planned on living with Aphmau forever and she never planned on me being her daughter and what not. Being here while thoes two are dating just...Feels off. I don't mind them being together. Cause I like Aaron too. Hes cool." You sighed.


"Have you thought of what Aphmau feels about this? Maybe your overthinking."


You looked out the window as the sun set.


The next morning, you sat criss cross on the bed strumming your Ukulele strings and tuning them.


You haven't talked to anyone since Aphmau and Aaron started dating.


You aren't sad.


Just...Feeling awkward.


Aphmau and Aaron stood infront of everyone getting ready to announce their newfound relationship.


"H-Hey! Everyone! Uhm...Aaron and I need to tell you all something. W-We...Are dating!"


Kawaii~Chan did her weird fangirly dance as Lucinda looked down at her and shook her head in shame at her.


"Garroth? Laurance? You guys...Are shocked?"


"We...Kinda figured."


"Ever since the Valentines day date, we've kinda known."


"Garroth...Laurance..."


"That doesn't mean we don't love you. We just..." "Want to see you happy." Laurance and Garroth smiled, finishing eachothers sentences.


"You guys are the best." "Aaron? Take care of her." "I will." "You better! Cause ths moment you mess we'll be all over her so fast!" "Thats right! Were watching you!" The two smirked.


"Haven't you always been kinda watching us?"


The two laughed at his comment.


"Hes right..."


"Aw...Now thats adorable." Lucinda crooned.


"Not as beautiful as Katelyn a--As Katelyn eyes! Yeah! Thats what I ment to say! Please don't hurt me..." Travis whimpeared.


"Hm..Nice save. I'll let it pass."


"Yay!"


"You better start making moves Katelyn, or I'm taking Travis is for myself~"


"R-Really?!"


"Lucinda! You wanna go!" As livley as Always.


You smiled lightly.


"Oh~! This is so beautiful! Kawaii~Chan can't believe everyone's getting along! Kawaii~Chan wants to get a picture to commemorate this moment!"


Kawaii~Chan got the camera ready as everyone got in their places.


"Aph?" You questioned.


"Yes?"


"Uhm...When you and Aarons relationship starts to progress and you may move in together I'll gladly--"


"Move in with us!"


"Huh?"


"What? If me and Aaron ever move in together, you didn't think I'd leave my mija all alone with Katelyn and Kawaii~Chan did you?"


"Mija...What does that mean?" You questioned.


Aphmau smiled, and kissed your forehead.


"Don't worry about it." You smiled brightly and nodded.


"Say cheese!" Kawaii~Chan smile.


The camera flashed and the picture was taken.


This is the dawn of a new adventure!
