46. Can I kiss you right now?Pairing: Bimstache (Bim/Wilford), Darkstache (one-sided)Words: 488Warnings: None (a little angst)A/N: I could not resist injecting a little angst xD hope this is okay for you!
Falling in love with someone who had a similar face to yourown was a bizarre feeling, and honestly, Wilford hadn’t expected to fall inlove with anyone following the debacle between William, Celine and Mark, buthere he was. He couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment it had happened, it wasalmost as if the feelings had just appeared one day and when staring at him on stage, giving the performance hisall with almost effortless charm, it had all fallen into place.
And who was this mysterious ego Wilford had fallen for?
It seemed ridiculous, but Wilford couldn’t even think of ahappier time for him being on stage then when he was either performing with Bimor rehearsing in front of him. The game show host was a bundle of energy andjoy, and matched Wilford’s own crazed pace easily, and it was refreshing tofind someone like that. They shared a similar taste in the macabre, and thoughBim preferred to use his reality bending powers over physical violence, itnever caused a rift between them.
The only problem Wilford found himself facing was admittinghis feelings. He had been there for Bim through the heartbreak the ego hadfaced when Matthias had not returned his affections. He had helped Bim bounceback to his regular old self, but it didn’t help Wilford.
He lamented his feelings to Dark one night, and thegrey-skinned ego snorted when Wilford said he wsa hiding them well.
“I’ve known you’ve been in love with Trimmer for a longtime.” He said, turning his head to look at Wilford from where he lay. Wilfordlooked back at him, shocked, before turning back to look at the sky to hide thelight blush on his cheeks.
They were lying on the roof, watching the stars and pointingout any constellations they could see. It was something William, Damien andMark had done in their youth, and Damien and William had continued it intoadulthood, occasionally joined by Mark when his busy schedule allowed it.
“I think I see Ursa Major.” The moustachioed ego stated,pointing up to change the topic.
“You could tell him you know.” Dark murmured, stretching andguiding Wil so he was actually pointing at the constellation, instead ofslightly to the right of it. “You wouldn’t have anything to lose.”
“Except everything.” Wilford laughed mirthlessly, and therewas a bitter tone to his voice, “He’s not in love with me Dark, he never willbe. I’m broken goods.”
“As if Trimmer doesn’t know that already.” Dark sighed, “AndI bet you’d still be pleasantly surprised. You can take a chance Wilford, itwon’t break you any further.”
“Well what about you?” Wilford asked, turning to look at Darkagain. “Why haven’t you taken a chance?”
“The person who I love will never love me in return.” Darksaid simply, “I know this, because he’s all but basically said it to me.”
There was a sad look behind the steely red eyes meetingWilford’s brown ones, and something uncomfortable shifted in Wil’s gut, but hepushed the feeling down. Dark had feelings for someone, and they didn’treciprocate them. Had he taken a chance and been shot down, or was it evidentto him that he didn’t need to take a chance? Either way, it made Wilford feelwrong to be lamenting his love woes to Dark, when the other ego clearly had hisown.
As if catching that train of thought, Dark flicked him in theforehead. “Don’t be stupid. If you don’t get this out, you’ll burst. Nowpromise me you’ll meet me here tomorrow night, and you’ll have told him.”
“I promise.” Wilford whispered, “I promise.”
Dark smiled and turned back to the sky, “Good.”
Love was a complicated thing.
Bim didn’t really believe in loving more than one person, butit had happened, and he couldn’t deny his feelings. For the entire time he hadknown Warfstache, he had been friendly with him, and enjoyed his company, and Bimwasn’t entirely sure when it had turned to love, but it had. Looking at Wilfordwhen he performed, or even when Bim was rehearsing in front of Wil himself, itmade his heart flutter and performances always felt so much more fulfilling whenhe heard Wilford clap whatever he had done.
Not only that, but Wilford had supported him through all sortsof things and problems, and Bim didn’t know who to turn to.
Finally, with no other options, Bim found himself outsideDark’s office, bouncing on the balls of his heels and waiting for the suited egoto answer. When he did, Dark didn’t even looked surprised to see Bim there, whichconcerned Bim, but he entered the room when Dark gestured for him to do so.Taking a seat on one side of the desk, Bim kept his hands still on his lap asDark took a seat himself.
“You’re here to talk about Wilford.” Dark stated.
“H-how did you know?” Bim asked in surprise.
“Please,” Dark snorted, “I know everything. Let me guess, you’rein love with Wilford, but you’re not sure if he reciprocates your feelings, soyou want to ask my advice? Am I on the money?”
“Oh…um…yeah I guess that’s right.” Bim mumbled, “Sorry forbeing so obvious.”
“I swear you two are just as dumb as each other.” Darksighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Go up to the rooftop tonight, and you’llget your answer.”
Bim blinked in surprise but didn’t speak. Something felt offabout the way Dark was reacting to the news, as if he was disappointed that Bimfelt that way about Wilford. Was it possible…did Dark have feelings for the pinkego? It would make sense to Bim, the two had been through so much together, butDark had never shown anything but cordial respect, and perhaps friendship, forWilford before now.
But, regardless of Dark’s feelings, Bim had his advice. “Thankyou Dark.” He offered a small smile, which Dark did not return, and took thatas a good cue to get out of the office.
His heart was pounding in his chest as he did. Wilford wasgoing to be on the rooftop tonight, Bim was sure of it. And when they met upthere, he was going to confess his feelings to Wilford. If he didn’t do it soonhe might simply explode, and he’d gotten what was basically a blessing fromDark to do so. Now, to wile away the hours until sunset.
When Wilford heard footsteps approaching him on the roof, hisheart leapt into his throat. He had spent the day trying to work himself up toadmitting to Bim that he loved him, and yet he hadn’t done it, and Dark wouldbe disappointed. Wilford had made a promise after all, and he barely broke hispromises to Dark.
“Before you say anything, I didn’t do it.” He said loudly,and the footsteps paused, “I didn’t tell Bim I love him, so don’t even ask.”
There was a sharp intake of breath and Wilford whirled aroundto find Bim himself stood behind him, twisting his tie in his hands innervousness, but with wide eyes and lightly parted lips. The shock on his facemade Wilford feel as if his heart had stopped.
Not the way he had wanted to confess, but clearlymanufactured by Dark to be this way. Cursing the suited ego – and secretlythanking him for giving him the kick he needed – Wilford tried to force himselfto say something else, but Bim beat him to it.
“You…love me?” He whispered, “For real?”
“I…yes Bim. I do. I’m…sorry that you foud out this way but I…I…it’sokay if you don’t-.”
“I love you too!” Bim blurted, interrupting Wilford withoutbeing able to help himself. “I…sorry. I love you too Wilford.”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Wilford couldn’t help but laughas well, and Bim chuckled as well.
“Aren’t we a pair?” Wilford shook his head as he spoke andran a hand through his hair. “Well, get over here Trimmer, I want to make upfor lost time.”
Bim’s steps were soft and slow, until they were stood almostnose for nose, neither confident enough to actually make the first move.
“Can I…can I kiss you right now?” Bim murmured, “Please.”
Grabbing Bim by the tie, Wil dragged him into a kiss.
At the door to the roof, Dark leaned, his red eyes watchingas the two deepened the kiss before turning away and walking down back to his room.Wilford deserved happiness and he had found it with Bim. That was enough. Ithad to be.
