“BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE YOU, DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?”

He instantly clamped his hands over his ‘mouth’ with his voice lowering to a faint whisper after the realization hit him as his eyelights darted away from your gaze, bright blue blush lighting up his cheekbones with embarrassment. A flustered expression overcame Swap’s skull as he kept his mouth covered as if the words hadn’t already been said.

The two of you stood in solemn silence as the skeleton’s eyelights were glued to the rough stone pavement, carrying a sheepish look while slowly looking up towards your face to see your reaction.
