Your name is MITUNA CAPTOR, and after drawing your best friend LATULA PYROPE for the billionth time, you have to COME TO THE UNFORTUNATE REALIZATION THAT YOU'RE CRUSHING. HARD. You've been trying to convince yourself that YOU'RE NOT CRUSHING, but YOU ARE. You know you are. And you kinda hate it.
It's not like you hate LATULA. You don't. Obviously you don't. You just hate the feeling of being in love. You can't think straight. And that's why you hate it, you hate it because even when you're just trying to play videogames or code or do rad tricks on your skateboard, you're still thinking of her, even when you don't want to, and you're tired of it.

You slide your chair away from your desk and stare up at the ceiling in contemplation. You could do that, you think to yourself. You really could just quote and quote, "Slide into her dms" and do that shit. Just straight up and tell her how you feel.
But is that really what you wanna do?
You're not sure. I mean, wouldn't it be better to tell her something like this in person? But then again, sliding her dms means at the very least there's no possibility of you tripping over your words and making a complete and utter fool of yourself. But then again
You kinda wanna see the look on her face when you tell her. Presuming she feels the same way-
Aw, fuck, wait, what if she doesn't though?
What if you tell her and she's all like "Nah fuck that shit, fuck you." then what? Then what happens? Fuck man why does so much go into this

You smiled to yourself thinking about your stupid clown moirail. That was basically a bunch of nonsense but also kinda not? You're not sure, but you think you know now what you've gotta do.
You gotta get the bitch.

> Overthink.
Maybe you're just overthinking, which you probably are since KURLOZ has made you come to the UNFORTUNATE REALIZATION that you have a HABIT OF OVERTHINKING. But you think that, maybe, just maybe, you might actually have a chance with her. I mean, she was using winking emotes and doing your two thing that you do, so surely she must be into you, right? No, no, that's just being presumptuous. KANKRI would be ashamed.
But then again, fuck what KANKRI thinks.
Okay, not actually. He's alright. Just, uh, a little much sometimes.
But whatever, you've got some time to kill. So why not go back to what you were doing before?
> Draw Latula.
You fill up another page of your sketchbook with some sketches of LATULA. You draw her doing some rad skateboard tricks, since you imagine that's what she'll be doing at the skatepark tonight. Gog you're excited. Well, excited and kinda nervous. But it's cool. You're cool. Everything's cool. Yeah.
Everything is just fine.
> Realize What Time It Is.
You suddenly realize that it's almost time to go, so you grab your skateboard and fly out the window because fuck doors, doors are for losers and you are not a loser. Okay, actually, you kinda might be, but that's okay. You can be kinda a loser. Just so long as you're not a full on dweeb. You don't think you could handle being a dweeb. That's just too much.
So, you fly out the window and head down to the skatepark and you meet up with LATULA. You try and impress her with some of your rad tricks but fuck man, she ends up being the one impressing you since she's just so fucking cool and cute and fuck man
Gogdammit why is shit
Why are things the way they are?
You don't know, but it's fine. Later you go to the ice cream shop she likes and the two of you get ice cream. Now's the time, you think to yourself but gog, gogdammit, gog fucking dammit your blood pusher is pounding and you can't think straight and fuck maybe you should've just slid into her dms and

MITUNA: 1'M 1N L0V3 W1TH Y0U.
The look on her face is priceless, it's even better than you could have ever imagined it. Suddenly you're very happy that you told her in person, because had you not you wouldn't be able to see the way she sits there, blushing, mouth agape and breath caught in her throat. You love it and you love her and it's so cute and she's so cute and
LATULA: o-oh my
LATULA: gog 1
LATULA: fuck….
LATULA: m1tun4 1….
LATULA: fuck, 1….
LATULA: 1 lov3 you too.
LATULA: or, h3h,
LATULA: should 1 s4y,
LATULA: 1 lov3 you… two?
You laugh, and she laughs and you both laugh and then you look into each other's eyes before leaning over the table and-
Kissing.
The two of you kiss, your forked tongue asking for permission to enter her mouth. Permission is soon granted and you begin to make out, and you taste rainbow sherbet and it's sweet just like she is and it's so fitting and it feels magical.
When you finally pull away, she stares at you and then the two of you just start laughing all over again. You can't help it. You love her, she loves you, you love each other-
And that's really all there is to say on the matter.
