Spray paint sat by the window, watching the pouring rain outside while Take Your Time by the Flipside played in his headphones.
He has a lot of plans today, but he has to wait for the rain to stop before that. So it’s rather boring having to wait it out.
Perhaps the same could be said for his friend.
“ Heya! “ They waved, catching Spray paint off guard since they were kinda just, suddenly right next to him. Spray paint replied with an awkward wave, while taking off his headphones. “ Whatcha listening to? “
“ ..Take your time by the Flipside. “ He replied. “ Do you wanna listen with me? I can tell you were gonna ask first from your expression. “
“ You got me there.. “ Mx. Bot sighed, which eventually turned into a giggle. “ You know me too well, Paint! “ They laughed, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Spray paint blushed a bit, letting out a small smile. “ Just the perks of hanging out with one of your only friends very often, in a good way, of course. “ He says, proceeding to play the song on his phone.
Mx. Bot sat down right next to him as the song played, their feet swaying back and forth as they hummed to the song. Spray paint just watched in silence, smiling.
They both always enjoyed the company from each other, especially Mx— Since Spray paint is one of their only friends, aside from their own adoptive father, who Mx never really gets to see often.
“ Hey Paint— Quick question, Aside from songs by the Flipside.. What other songs do you listen to? “ They asked, their small smile still remaining on their face.
“ Ah- Well.. Uh.. “
Spray paint thought for awhile, although there’s a lot of songs that he likes, there’s one song in particular that he’d like to listen to with Mx. He wasn’t so sure though..
But knowing Mx. Bot, it’ll be fine.
“ There is one song in particular.. “ He replied. “ Let me change to that song real quick- “
Mx. Bot nodded in response, watching as Spray paint searched for the song. Eventually, the song began to play— The melody of the guitar was enough to get Mx to like it, the lyrics were as good too. Even if Mx wasn’t a fan of romance songs.
“ This is a really good song!! “ They smiled. “ What’s it called? “
“ Love grows where my rosemary goes, by Edison Lighthouse. “ Spray paint replied, slightly smiling. “ It’s one of my comfort songs.. I really like it. “
“ I see!! I’m glad that my AMAZING sideki- Err.. BEST FRIEND! Finds comfort in this song!! “ Mx. Bot said, their smile was as bright as ever.
“ Haha, yeah..- “
“ ..Best friend..- “ He mumbled, slightly blushing. Couldn’t help but let out another smile too.
“ If it’s okay with you, could I listen to some other songs you like after this one? “ Mx asked. “ Just a bit curious! I can show you some songs that I like too! “
“ ..I don’t mind, sure, why not? “
“ Yippity yay!! “
Spray paint stared at Mx. Bot as they vibed to the song, their feet once again swaying back and forth.
Spray paint then decided to scoot in closer to them, holding their hand. This caused Mx to pause and look at Spray paint, then at his hand which was holding theirs. They blushed a bit, before also holding his hand in theirs.
They both stared at each other, exchanging smiles as they just continued to listen to the rest of the song, with the relaxing sound of the rain pouring in the background.
Spray paint wonders if there’ll ever be a day where he tells Mx. Bot that the song explains how he really feels for them..
