Your POV~

After a while, Zane and I started to get a little bored. I could tell because, well... he was asleep. I got up and walked over to him. I stared to lightly shake him, trying to get him to wake up. He groaned and rolled over, yawning.

"Mom? What time is it...?" He yawned again.

"Zane, sweetheart, time for school!~" I said in my best 'mom' voice.

"Just... five more minutes..." he yawned and put his face into the pillow.

"C'mon, Zane, you don't want to be late for breakfast, do you?~" I giggled to myself.

"Breakfast?!" He said, and bolted upward. "Wait... I don't go to school anymore! Y/N!!!"

I giggled, and smirked. "Sorry, Zane~Sweetie." I said, not breaking character.

"Drop it, Y/N!" He blushed.

"Ok, ok, sorry. You fell asleep during our pony marathon." I laughed.

"Sorry," he pouted.

"Don't be, it's fine. You were asleep for three hours."

"I-I was?! S-Sorry!" He looked at the floor.

I laugh. "What do you want to do now?" I asked.

He thought for a minute. "I don't know," he shrugged, "you got anything in mind?"

"Oh! Wanna bake cupcakes?"

His eyes lit up. "HOW DID YOU KNOW I LIKE CUPCAKES?!"

"Now I do." I giggle. "But we have to go to the mall first. I don't have anything."

"Alright! Want me to drive?" He asked.

"Sure!" I nodded, and smiled at him.

From what I could tell, he smiled back.

"Where's the mall here?" I ask.

"There's one around the corner, actually."

"Oh..." I giggle. "Alright, let's go!" I grab my bag, making sure I have my phone and wallet.

We walk outside, and get in my car. I sit in the passenger seat, with Zane in the driver's seat. He pulls out of the driveway, and onto the road before turning on the radio. (Favorite song) comes on, and I sing along. The song ends, and I continue to hum the chorus.

"You have a beautiful voice." Zane says and I blush.

"T-thanks, Zane..."

He smiles. "We're here!"

I look out the front window, and sure enough, we were parked in the parking lot of the huge mall. We get out of the car, grabbing the things we need, like my bag and his phone and wallet. We walk into the mall. I was immediately hit by someone, the man fell over, bringing me to the ground, with him on top of me. He had white hair, and bright emerald green eyes. We both became a blushing mess.

"T-TRAVIS!! GET OFF OF HER!" Zane yelled, pulling the man off of me. He stands up, and Zane holds out a hand to help me up. Still blushing, I took his hand and stood up. "What was that all about?!" He yells at the white-haired guy.

"Geez, sorry Zane. I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I walk walking." The man says, and scratches the back of his neck.

"Y-you two know each other?" I ask.

"Yeah. I'm Travis. Sorry for... that... heh heh.." His green eyes shimmer in the sunlight, peering through the windows.

"I-its alright..." I stutter.

Zane glares at Travis. Travis notices, and jumps back a bit. He shook it off. "Anyway, Zane, I didn't know you could find a babe this hot." Travis checks me out.

I turn dark red, and look at Zane, who was completely red; he was zoned out, and slightly wobbling. I hold him up, so he doesn't fall over.

"T-Travis, Zane and I aren't dating..." I point out.

"So you're single, right?" He smirks.

Zane snaps back to reality. "NO, SHE ISN'T! SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND!" He yelled.

I felt my face heat up to a really high temperature, and my vision went blurry.

Zane's POV~

Y/N turned a super dark red color. She put her hand on her forehead, removed it, and collapsed to the ground, her face still red and her eyes closed. She was out cold.

I blushed a little, and pulled my mask up a little higher. I watched Travis cross his arms. "She's dead. You killed her." He said.

"I-I didn't kill her, she's just... asleep..." I said, and picked Y/N up bridal style.

"So, what's her name?" Travis asked, playing with a few strands of her hair, and smiling.

I slapped his hand away. "Wipe that stupid grin off your face, Travis. Her name is Y/N..."

"Beautiful name," He said. "So are you dating, or not? I heard two different answers."

I nod. "We are, and we should get going, now. We cane here to get stuff, not for you to flirt."

"Bye, Y/N~" Travis says, with a flirty tone in his voice, even though Y/N clearly couldn't hear her. I roll my eyes, and walk over to the grocery store, Y/N still in my arms. I smile at her.

I got all the things we need for the cupcakes, and I could tell Y/N was starting to wake up. She groaned quietly, and rubbed her eyes. Her beautiful (E/C) eyes flutter open. She looks around.

"Senpai... where are we...?" She asks, and grabs onto my sweater lightly. I blush. 'She called me Senpai...?'

"At the mall, Y/N. You fainted earlier." I say, and smile, still holding her.

She smiled, and looked into my eyes. Her (E/C) eyes sparkled.

Zane's thoughts~

We stared into each other's eyes. Her deep, beautiful (E/C) eyes sparkled. This warm, fuzzy feeling feels so right... I just feel... right when I'm around this beautiful girl. She makes me so happy...

~~~~~End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I put her down. She looked into the basket that was around my arm, filled with all the ingredients. She gasped. "You got them all already?! How long was I out?!"

"Ten minutes," I reply, running my fingers through my bangs.

"S-sorry... I was probably a big pain to carry around..." Y/N apologizes.

"No, you were actually pretty light. It's no problem, really, Y/N." I smile. 'Right, she can't see the smile because of my mask...' I thought.

She smiles back. We walk over to the checkout area, and get all our things put into bags. I pay, and we leave the store. "You didn't have to pay, Zane. I could've payed for it--" She started.

I cut her off. "It's fine, beautiful." I say, and bite my lip, hoping she didn't hear me.

"B-beautiful...?" She looks up at me.
"I-I...-- y-yeah..." I blush, and keep walking. She catches up to me.

"W-wait... I remember why I blacked put in the first place..." Y/N said, and blushed. "You said to the white-haired guy we were dating..."

I blushed. "I wanted him to leave you alone. He would've kept flirting with you if I didn't say anything." I sigh, trying not to let my jealousy of that get the best of me.

She shook it off. I saw the arcade, and looked at Y/N to see if she saw it as well. She looked back at me and nodded. We ran towards the arcade, dodging people in our way.

Y/N pointed to a claw machine. I walked over to it, and examined the prizes inside. I saw a Pinkie Cake plush in the machine and pressed my face against the glass. "Want it?" Y/N asked, tossing a coin in the air, over and over again. I removed my face from the glass and nodded. Y/N tossed me the coin.

I put the coin in the machine, and held onto the joystick. The claw slowly moved down, hovering above the plush. 'Come on, come on...' I felt a bead of sweat drip down the side of my face. The claw grabbed into the Pinkie Cake plush, and another plush from under it. I dragged the claw over to the drop box. I dropped the toys, and grabbed them from the machine. I looked at the other plush the claw 'gave' to me. It was Y/N's favorite pony.

I handed the toy to Y/N. She looked at it, then at me, and smiled. A beautiful, genuine smile. I smiled back. She ran up to me, and hugged me. I hugged back.

The warm and fuzzy feeling was back. I like it.

~ 1 hour later ~

We walked out of the mall, and back to the car, carrying the bags of cupcake ingredients and our pony plushies.

We put the things in the back, and got in the car.

"Will you sing another song for me?" I ask.

"Wha..? You actually want me to sing for you?" She looked confused.

"Y-yeah, us that OK?" I ask, pulling out of the parking lot.

Y/N turns on the radio again, and the song from earlier comes on. She sings along, and halfway through the song, I join in.

The song ends, and she turns off the radio. "You have a beautiful voice." She says, repeating my words.

I chuckle. "Nah, yours is better." I say.

"Not as good as yours!" She pokes my nose. I blush. We pull up into her driveway. We get out of the car, and she grabs the bags from the back. I pick her up, bridal style, same as before. I smile, and she laughs. I carry her into the house.

Garroth's POV (bet ya didn't see that coming 😂)

I was sitting outside on the porch with Laurence, when I hear a car pull into The house down the street. I look over to the house, and see Zane get out of the car with the girl from earlier. "Laurence, look." I point to them, and Laurence follows my gaze. I stare at the two, as they get out of the car.

"Who's that?" Laurence asks.

"My baby brother and Y/N. She's new to the street." I reply. 'I knew there was something between them... brotherly senses, I guess?'

Laurence looks at me. "Zane? Since when does he have a girlfriend?"

"They told me today that they weren't dating. I still don't believe them."

Just then, Travis pulled up into the driveway in his car. He got out, and ran up to Laurence and I. "Guys!" He yelled. "Zane said him and that girl are dating!"

Laurence and I shared a glance. "What?!" I gasped.

"Yeah! She fainted too! And he carried her away all couple-like!"

"Travis, are you being serious?!" Laurence asked.

"Why would I lie?!" He crossed his arms.

"Good point..."

I nod, and look back at Zane and
Y/N. Zane picked her up, she laughed, and he carried her into the house and shut the door behind him.

"I think Travis is right..." I say, and sigh. "My baby brother..."

Laurence puts his hand on my back gently. "Should we call Aph?"

I nod. "Thanks, Travis."

He winks. "No problem." Travis gets the things he bought out of the back of his car, and walks inside.

Your POV~

Zane carried me inside. It was starting to get dark out. He put me down in the kitchen. We started to pull out the ingredients, and set them on the table. We made the cupcake batter, pouring it into the pan, and starting on the icing. I put the pan in the oven, and let it bake for a little bit, before checking on them. I looked up at Zane.

"You have icing on your cheek..." I giggle. I rub it off.

"Thanks." He says, and smiles.

"No problem!" I smile back.

~Lazy time skip to after the cupcakes are done and iced~

"Those look so good..." Zane said, staring at our little masterpieces.

"Yeah..." I say, and look at Zane.

He looks into my eyes again, this warm feeling makes me feel safe, and comfortable. His soft blue eyes are so cute...

I grab a cupcake, and hand it to Zane. He takes one and hands it to me. "Taste test?" He says, and I nod.

We both bite into the soft cupcakes at the same time.

"So good..." I say, and finish the cupcake.

"We did a good job, didn't we?" Zane says, and finishes his, too.

I nod. "We did a GREAT job!" I smile.

I walk over into the living room, and lay out a few blankets and pillows. "Wanna stay the night?" I ask.

"Sure!" Zane responds.

"Great!" I flop onto the pillows. Zane walks over to me, and looks down at me.

"What are you doing?" He asks.

"It's comfy..." I stand up. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For telling Travis we're dating. If he never stopped flirting with me, we wouldn't be here. And I wouldn't have been able to do this..."

I pulled down his mask and kissed him.

Zane's POV ~

She kissed me. My eyes widened for a second to snap me back to reality. I kissed back. So many thoughts were running through my head. I felt the warm feeling grow stronger. I put my hands on her waist, and she wrapped her arms around my neck.

There was a knock at the door. We pulled away, both of us blushing madly. We both waited a second before answering the door, to let ourselves calm down. The blushing settled, and Y/N went to answer the door.

She opened the door to... Garroth? What was he doing here?

"Hi, Garroth!" Y/N said.

Garroth peeked behind her, and saw me in the kitchen eating a cupcake. "Hello, Y/N..." Garroth said, gritting his teeth. He pronounced Y/N's name differently.

Y/N smiled at him, but he didn't return the smile. "Baby brother, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone?"

I shrugged. "Sure, Garroth. Be right back, Y/N." I stepped outside with Garroth. "What's up, big bro?" I asked him.

He slightly smiled at the title I gave him. He loosened up a bit, and sighed. "Zane, I'm worried about you..." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm worried about you and Y/N. Travis told me you said you two were dating." He sighed.

"He did?! That was just to get him to stop flirting with her! I told him that so he would shut up about how freaking hot she is!" I covered my mouth and blushed.

"So you do like her?" Garroth asks.

I slightly nod. "I-is that a problem...?"

"N-no, I just... I'm proud of you, Zane. I will leave now... Have a good night, Baby Brother." He hugs me.

I hug back and smile. He pulls away. "Bye, Zane." He smiles, and walks back to his house. I go back inside.

"Everything OK?" Y/N asks.

"Yeah, everything's great! Garroth just needed to talk to me." I reply, and walk into the living room.

I lay down on the blankets. Y/N turns on the TV. "What do you wanna watch?" She asks.

"I don't know, you can pick. I don't really care."

"OK, should I turn it off then?" She looks at me.

"Sure,"

She turns the TV off, and comes and lays beside me. She yawns.

"Go to sleep, Y/N." I smile.

She cuddles up to me and buries her head in my chest. I blush.

"OK, Zane~y." She smiles, and closes her eyes. I wrap my arms around her, and we fall asleep.

~Aphmau's POV~

I heard a knock at the front door. "Coming!" I yelled, and ran down the hall to answer the door. I opened it, and Garroth, Laurence and Travis were standing in front of me. "Hey, guys...? What brings you here so late?"

"Well, we were going to call you, but you live across the street. Can we come in?" Laurence said.

"Sure, come on in..." I reply, confused.

I step off to the side, so they can walk in. I walk into the living room and sit on the couch, gesturing for them to sit, too. "So, what's up?" I ask.

The guys look at each other.

"We've come to talk about Zane." Garroth says.

"Zane? What's wrong? Is he in trouble?"

"Well, no. We're more worried about his girlfriend." Travis explains.

"WHAT?! ZANE HAS A GIRLFRIEND?!" I yell.

"Shhh! He didn't say he did, but he did tell Travis that." Garroth says. "When I went to talk to him, he said they weren't dating, he only told Travis that to get him to stop flirting with her." He shot Travis a glare. Travis backed up a little. "Anyways, he did say he likes her."

"So why are you worried?" I ask.

"I guess he's just not ready for it yet," Laurence says and puts his hand on Garroth's back. Garroth sighs.

"Yeah, I think that's it. My baby brother's all grown up..." Garroth stares at the floor.

I hold his head up, making him look at me. "Garroth, this is what Zane wants. If he wants to be with the girl he loves, you don't need to worry. I'm sure it will be fine."

He smiles. "Thanks, Aphmau."

I return the smile. "No problem, Garroth."

Laurence and Travis smile too. "We can go now, Aph. Thanks." Laurence says.

"No problem, guys! Oh, and before you leave, I'm having a sleepover tomorrow at 4:30. Text me if you can come!" I say.

"I'll be there!" Travis exclaimed. "Bye, Aph! C'mon, guys!"

I wave. "Bye, guys!" They leave, and I close the door behind them.

-Later-

I get a text from Garroth and Laurence.

Laur~ence: hey, Aph! I can come to you sleepover tomorrow!

Awesome! Thanks Laurence! :Me

Gar~Gar: I can come too.

Great! Cya tomorrow! :Me

-Group text over-

"I guess I have work to do
tomorrow!" I say, and go up to bed.
