I've playing a lot of ZZZ recently (mostly cuz if Starlight Billy) so I thought it might as well make fanart Sketch of Banyue inspired by his early concept design and Starlight Billy himself :]
Got him today after i lost to grace again she js really likes the constructs ig. Only one with his sig w engine he deserves it i spent everything
No warnings just fluff and a slightly botched confession, hc format
you've been friends with Billy for a long time, long enough to notice if he'd ever changed anything about his appearance
slightly less red jacket? Hair less fluffy than usual? Eyes drooped down a little? Nicole called you creepy but you preffered the term caring
not that Billy ever minded, he lavished in your astute observations of his every little thing, often complaining how the rest of the cunning hares could barely tell when he added a brand new limited edition Starlight Knights pin
his recent addition to his model was a button in the middle of his chest
the thing you found stranger however was the fact that he tried lying to you about it
"What button?" He asked with all the nonchalance of a toddler trying to walk
you brushed it off, maybe he wanted to surprise you with some Starlight Knight related change
you were right on the money. Almost.
the day you saw him with his new form you could feel your heart hammering against your ears
you don't remember exactly when you started to find him weirdly attractive for an intelligent construct, you just knew when it happend it felt as though the sky had fallen; Billy was your friend! You can't see him in that way no matter how red your face got when he was near.
unfortunately your heart simply couldn't still, he looked amazing
he yapped about the modifications, striking a few poses every now and then to add some flair
you always pay attention to what he's saying, but at the moment you just couldn't get your mind off how unbelievably good he looked
you wanted to grab him and shake him around with how cute his facial expressions were with every explanation he gave
eventually though, a nervous air came about him
it wasn't completely unusual, he gets nervous about things, but you expected him to be the epitome of joy at this moment
"Is something wrong? I promsie I was paying attention!"
loud incorrect buzzer
"Nothings wrong! Uhm, I just wanted to say..."
he fidgeted with his hands, the sight was rather adorable
there he was, cool red scarf and jacket swaying, his horns ever so obvious against his white hair, yet here he was floundering abiut like a school boy
still, you were concerned, "Billy are you okay? Are the modifications painful or something?"
"Nope! Perfectly safe! It's just uh...you're the first person I'm showing this to..."
you smiled at that, heart warmed at the fact that you were the first person he wanted to show something so important to him
"That's really sweet of you," you placed a hand on his scarily muscular metal arm, "thanks for thinking of--"
"I like you!"
you stared, he stared, silence was shared
"I'm...sorry?"
"Gah!" He ripped his arm from your touch and grabbed his hair as though he made a grave mistake
"Shoot! I was supposed to say that way cooler! Uhm, could you pretend I didn't say that?"
"Pretend I didn't-- Billy I can't pretend!"
your face was fully on fire and by the looks of it, so was Billys. His hands shifted to cover his quickly overheating face, an eye peeking through his fingers
"This all went wrong! Wait, no, don't move!"
he quickly turned around, fixing his attire and smoothing out his hair before spinning back and throwing a finger gun at you with an attempt of a wink
and saying nothing
he starts fumbling again, somehow forgetting the crucial three words for a confession
you clutch your stomach. Not in pain, no, you couldn't stop laughing. Billy notices and his nervousness increases as does your laughing. He was so cute and bad at this while looking like he'd be the main character of an action movie
he let out an awkward laugh with you, gears still turning in his head as to how he could salvage this. He'd spent serious money on his upgrades and made sure you'd be the first person to see it in all its glory, a confession right after is the most Starlight Knight thing he could do, but of course he had to lose it when you smiled and touched his arm
he remembers so clearly the first time he saw you in a less than platonic way, he was planning on recounting the whole thing while staring lovingly into your eyes! -When you talked about Starlight Knights with him and called it cool, he swore his eyes could turn into those cheesy romance movie hearts, you were his new Monica!
you wipe a few stray tears away, blissfully unaware of Billys inner turmoil, "Sorry, sorry," you grab hold of his arm to tug him closer to you, "you were just so adorable."
his face overheats again, fans kicking in at the sudden proximity, "O-oh! That's good!"
you chuckle, "I like you too Billy."
you knocked him completely off his axis with such a simple sentence. Seriously, it would take an infinite amount of ethereals to make him feel as weak in the knees as you do
"Wait," his eyes widen, "but...but I didn't even look cool doing that!"
you roll your eyes, "Billy you always look cool, plus you have a charm of your own."
his eyes scan yout face as though he didn't believe the words coming out of your mouth before he abruptly picked you up by the waist and spun you around
"Haha! Yes! I am the happiest construct alive!"
his joy was contagious and you couldn't help but laugh along
