Harley waddled back in the warm house after being picked apart by Mago. Shockingly, the boy was right about a lot of things. Mago pushed him in, shutting the door behind the two after. "Sit."Mago muttered, pointing to a spot. Harley sat down with Mago sitting down beside him. "Ok, now that that's all settled." Mago grabbed his bowl of ramen.
"What…. What happened?" Baker asked, looking between the two. "Did you guys make out? Cause if so please tell me."Wafi begged, which made Harley realize how ironic it was. "No, we just talked about important stuff. But, Harley has something he wants to say." Mago nudged Harley slightly, but Harley didn't budge. He couldn't just say it to them. He couldn't say it to Wafi, and he was forced to say it to Mago.
It was like those words couldn't come out of his mouth.
He didn't understand them. Those words felt foreign, unrecognizable. He wanted to, he really fucking did. Harley knew he was only holding himself back, but he couldn't. Harley still felt like he was in the cloud, still felt frozen, his breath becoming whte as soon as it left his mouth. Harley hugged himself from the cold in his heart. He loved them, to the moon and back many times. But he couldn't say the words. Not in front of everyone.
Mago sighed, placing his bowl down. A warm tear slid down Harley's cheek, the boy lowering his head so no one noticed. "Don't make me call Kiso so she can smack you with a frying pan." Mago angrily threatened. Harley didn't say anything, shutting his eyes so no more tears could slip. He felt Kai hug him, wiping Harley's tears with his sleeve. "Mago sit down." he asked calmly as Harley laid his head on his chest. Mago had every right to be mad though.
They all did.
Kai carefully hid Harley's face from the others, glaring at Mago. However, Mago was right. Harley had been playing them, even if he didn't mean to. He didn't even notice what he was doing. He should have though, shouldn't he? He should be able to tell his best friends he loved them. He should be able to say more than just those three words.
Mago huffed, crossing his arms. "Mago, please sit down." Kai asked, his voice calm. Mago glared at him for a second before sighing. "I'm sorry... I really do- but I just.. It's just too much" Harley mumbled, gripping onto Kai's shirt. "I know you do, I know you love us Harley. No need to say it. We can see it." Kai murmured softly, however Harley shook his head. "No, you- no. I need to-"
"No you don't. You've already shown your love. I don't want you to force yourself." Kai explained, his voice as quiet as before. Harley rubs his eyes, before taking in a breath. Kai slowly moved away from him, tilting Harley's head to the side so he could wipe his face. "Are you ok now?" Kai whispered, only the two being able to understand each other. Harley quietly nodded. Harley sat up, looking down at the floor.
He felt weak, like a child. Why was he crying? "What's wrong Harley?" Yoshi asked worriedly. Harley looked up. They were all staring at him, even Mago. But not with anger or disappointment in their eyes. Instead, worry. They were….. Worried about him. Harley smiled, shaking his head. "Nothing is wrong, promise." He murmured. He sucked in a breath, before laughing quietly.
Baker hugged him from the side, placing his chin on Harley's shoulder. "You made us worried." He mumbled softly. "Yeah!" Yoshi yelled, huffing. Harley rolled his eyes, before sighing. "I'm sorry, please forgive me."He mumbled, sarcastically bowing to the brunette. Wafi laughed as Yoshi grabbed a pillow. Wafi Mago pulled him back, snatching the pillow away from him. "Let's not try to suffocate people." Mago jokes, throwing the pillow back on the couch.
"So….. do you…" Baker trailed off, stepping away from Harley. "I- yeah. I do." Harley answered, smiling. Baker smiles happily, cheering. Mago punches Yoshi''s arm, Yoshi scrambling away. "What has Yoshi done to you Baker?" Wafi asked, shaking his head. Baker looked over, confused. "What do you mean?"
"You have become a sub… I can already see it-"Both Yoshi and Baker hit Wafi with their own pillows. Wafi crawls into a ball, protecting his head. "Har-Har-Jellyfish-Cutiepie-Cupcake- Potato-Candy-Love! Help!" Wafi called, and Harley ignored him, laughing quietly. Wafi lifted his head, ready to throw the pillows back, but Kai stopped him.
"We have something else to talk about."He said, snatching away the pillows from everyone. Harley's smile faded. "So we all like each other, in more than just a friendship?" Kai asked, sitting back down. Everyone stared at him, slowly nodding. Kai sighed, humming. "Ok, and we all agree to that?" Everyone nodded once again.
"Ok, is there anyone that's not in this room that you like?"
