Authors note: Wow, I have been getting a lot of requests! Most of them have been Reader x Oneshots, so it would be nice to get a change of pace. However, I still enjoy writing Reader x's and you can request whatever you want! Okay, now you can read.

~Your POV~

I always enjoyed going on walks when I'm lonely. Well, I enjoy it more than talking to myself and binge watching shows...for the tenth time! (This is me confessing on how many times I've watched Inanimate Insanity Invitational.)

Also, going on a walk helps me come up with ideas or when I am bored I get to at least do something.

I continue walking until I hear a very similar laugh.
A very similar and, bright laugh.

I look over to my left and find Lightbulb hanging out with Paintbrush. I've always admired the relationship they have had. I wish I had something like that, I mean, I have friends but I wish I was closer to them.

Like Paintbrush. I always get nervous and don't know what to talk about when I am with them. Maybe it's genetic? (Excellent Entities Reference!)

"Well, it's been great hanging around with you, but I've gotta skidadle. After all, I scheduled a manicure for Baxters claws this evening. See ya up the wazoo!"
I hear Lightbulb say and start walking away from Paintbrush while waving back at them.

I guess I can stop by for a quick chat, hope it's not too awkward. After all, nothing is more awkward than seeing your most closest friend right?

Wait...that's not normal now that I think about it. Before I try to turn around, I get to Paintbrush still waving back at Lightbulb.

"*Sigh, sometimes I can't stand her randomness, taking Baxter to a salon? Really," They turn around to face me, "Oh! I didn't realize you were there N/A."

"Oh, that's alright. Hey Paintbrush!" Geez! If Test Tube was here she would have called me a Jeebweezer. Awkward.

I can see that they are looking at me with confusion.
"So, what's up?"

"Well, I guess I was lonely so I wanted someone to hang out with. If you were going to do something that's fine but-"

"Sure."

What. "Oh, I didn't expect such as fast reply. Thanks."

We start walking around the field that Lightbulb and Paintbrush were originally talking on and find a spot in the grass to sit on and look at the clouds.

White, small clouds that take intricate forms in the blueish pinkish sky due to how late it was.

"So, um, Paintbrush. You really get along with Lightbulb huh."

They look at me with a mixed expression of shocked and confused. "Yeah, I guess you can say that. Why are you suddenly bringing this up anyway?"

"Well," the words pile up in my mouth, but are hard to get out. "I just wish we had something like that, or similar. I know I am not the best with starting a conversation with you, but I think there is a reason. Maybe we just...have something special, between us."

I realize what I had just said, and I cringed. "I-I mean, if YOU think about it that way then that is totally fine but it was just a theory so you don't have to of course but now that I mention it it just seems like it would be the most accurate and-"

"N/A!!" Paintbrush suddenly yells my name. I guess they tried to get my attention since some sparks came from their bristles before dying out.

"I know what you mean. And yes, we do have something special, even if it has been awkward.
N/A...you have a crush on me, and that is why you are acting like this. Even though you doubt it."

"What?! Oh my gosh, I never would have thought that I of all people would-"

"Stop. Just listen."

I look back at Paintbrush with a more relaxed expression.

"It's okay to feel that way. You aren't just the one who has trouble with talking to the other, it's also me. I can't seem to find a perfect reply to what you say, thinking that it might insult or hurt you just crushes me. Me and Lightbulb, we get along greatly because we are friends. It's not the same between us. Just remember that...okay?"

I can feel tears welling up in my eyes. I hug Paintbrush, feeling their words go through my head.

"You are right Painty...
I guess it is more than we thought."
