Darryl hummed to himself as he noticed A6d and Skeppy were both in a Teamspeak call together.

"Ahh!" He called, dragging himself into the room. "Hello!"

Zak blinked, forgetting what he had been saying to Vincent before being interrupted.

"Hey, Bad." Vincent said causally.

"What are you guys doing?" Darryl asked with a smile, hoping they were playing Minecraft minigames he could join.

"Well, we were just sort of talking.." Vincent replied, waiting for Zak to bring up an idea like usual.

"Yeah, actually I have to go, so.. I'll talk to you later!" Zak nervously shouted before disconnecting from the call.

Darryl furrowed his eyebrows, disappointment evident on his face. For the past two weeks, Zak always seemed to have something come up whenever Darryl was around.

"Is he.. avoiding me?" Darryl thought with a frown.

He heard Vincent sigh, breaking him out of his thoughts. "I don't understand why he is acting like that." The French man mumbled.

Darryl narrowed his eyes. He knew something was off! "What do you mean? Do you know what's going on with him?"

"Yeah, but I think it would be best for him to talk to you about it himself," Vincent shrugged even though he knew Darryl couldn't see him, "Anyway, I am going to bed as it is very late for me, so.. goodnight!"

And with that, Darryl was left alone with his thoughts. He decided to message Zak himself about the matter.

BadBoyHalo: Hey Skeppy! I don't know what's going on, but if you're mad at me for some reason please talk to me about it.
9:31pm

Skeppy: im not mad at you im okya thnaks
9:32pm

Darryl frowned at the short response.

BadBoyHalo: Why does it seem like you are avoiding me then?
9:32pm

Skeppy: im not. just busy
9:32pm

BadBoyHalo: Okay. Have a good night, muffin.
9:33pm

Skeppy: night
9:44pm

That made Darryl's heart ache a bit, but he pushed it away. Turning off his computer, he decided to make something to eat as a distraction.

A few hours later, Darryl hopped on his computer again, just out of pure boredom and nothing else, of course.

He opened Teamspeak, out of boredom, and noticed Zak was in a room—alone this time.

He joined silently.

"Hello?" Zak asked, clicking off Minecraft to open the channel.

"H-hey Skeppy!" Darryl cheered.

"Oh.. what's up?" Zak asked bluntly. Darryl could almost hear the frown in his voice.

"Are you okay?" He asked unsurely. Zak had been blunt and mean to him many times, especially throughout Minecraft Monday as he yelled at him to be quiet, but this time felt different.

Something wasn't right.

"I'm fine, dude." Zak sighed. "Did you need something?"

"Well, no.. I just wanted to say hi!" He felt his heart pound in his chest. The feelings he had for Zak made this whole situation a million times worse.
