The rarest of pairs: Sheff for @spoolesofthread who has dragged me into the hell that is this pairing. We need more sheff. Please fuel us.
Prompt was #2 from this list!
Shane had never been sure what to make of Hidden Block. Rivals, friends, it didn’t really matter to him. They were chaotic, unorganized, compared to the Normal Boots club they could even be considered unprofessional (if a high school gaming club could even be considered professional).
First joining Normal Boots had been… stressful, to say the least. Shane, still new from England, had spent almost the whole first month of school alone. It wasn’t until PBG started talking about Animal Intersection in class and Shane had impressed him with vast knowledge about the game that Shane had someone he could consider a friend. Before he knew it he was the newest member of the Normal Boots club, special jacket and all.
Everything was calm…. For a while.
“What do you want?” Shane didn’t, couldn’t understand why Jeff seemed to take such an interest in everything Shane did, from his drawings to how his day had been. It was almost endearing. Almost.
“I…. Shane, I have a question.” Jeff swallowed visibly before Shane sighed. Focusing his attention on Jeff, Shane paused. Jeff looked… really good today? His hair was perfectly fluffy, the gold in his eyes catching the light until Shane felt himself let out a slow breath.
“Shane?” He shook his head, giving Jeff a small smile.
“Sorry, I was just…. Thinking. Continue, please?” Jeff nodded slightly, taking a deep breath before speaking.
“What would you do if I told you I’m in love?” In…. love? Jeff paled. Shane noticed his hands were shaking. Did Jeff…?
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have….. I’m so sorry.” Jeff turned, walking quickly. Shane froze, caught between trying to reach out for him or standing to go after Jeff, his chair clattering behind him.
“No, wait- Jeff-” Jeff stood, glancing back as Shane lowered his hand.
“What?” Jeff’s voice was barely a whisper, the air around silent and all too loud all at once.
“What if I told you I’m in love, too?”
