Yey, she couldn't sulk at him now, so she had to be happy with him all of the time. YEY for no more pouting.
NO. She couldn't be saying this. The words he was hearing could not be true. Gaping a little, Darwin didn't even know what to say. "B-b-bu-but that's how much I missed YOU." he protested. He hadn't been able to word it, but he speedy little speech had done that for him. It was like she was reading his mind. Which wasn't possible.
Was it?
"BUT that means that you didn't miss me MORE than I missed you... and it means that I didn't miss you more than you missed me." Was that even possible? Darwin didn't have a clue. He was FAILING right now. FAILING and FLAILING because he was confused because they couldn't BOTH miss each other more.
Oh, his poor, tiny little brain.
Why wasn't this argument (well, not argument, because they were besties-for-life-with-no-takesies-backsies-or-swapsies so therefore they didn't argue) simple? Why was everything so complicated these days? His classwork and his friends and his family and his MIND were all so confused. He was going to blame growing up, and nearly being a teenager and not being in Primary School anymore. Blergh.
He sighed, and blew his hair out of his face. "I do say so. And I'M cootie-free, too," he said. Therefore, it only made sense. Well, to him at least. Although maybe this idea was an odd one - he didn't have a clue where it had come from, he just knew that if there was anyone he wanted his first kiss to be with, it was her. Because she was his best friend.
Oh, it didn't even make sense in his mind.
"Of course I like you. You're my bestie. Which is the point here." Or it kind of was, anyway. "Sureee you don't." Was he JEALOUS of Alec? NO. Well, maybe a little - but not in that way. He didn't LIKE Brooke, not in that way. He didn't like anyone in that way. But if she liked Tackler boy more than she liked him, Dar, then she'd probably replace him. And that would mean they weren't besties-for-life-with-no-takesies-backsies-or-swapsies. The whole point of being so was for life, so she couldn't replace him... could she? Either way, he didn't want to be replaced.
Now that she was asking, Darwin didn't really know what he'd gotten himself in for. "Uh, yeah I am. I guess," he managed, before leaning down and pressing his lips to hers.
Brooke beamed at her best friend, she hoped this was her winning. She felt quite proud of herself if she was honest and she was going to hold onto that honesty feeling and be proud with herself for a little while, it wasn't very often she managed to win one of her and Dar's disagreements so now that she had she was going to hold onto it with all her might.
"And no more pouting for Dar either." if she wasn't allowed to pout he wasn't allowed to pout, that seemed fair didnt it ? Brooke thought it was fair.
Brooke's eyes widened as Dar said that was how much he'd missed her.
"But thats how much I missed YOU!" she flailed her arms about. Was this possibly ? Could neither of them win this one ?
"So, if i missed you that much..an..and you missed me that much, that means we .." Brooke paused, trying to process all this maddness in her head.
"..We both missed each other the s-s-sam-same amount ?" there was always a clear winner, ALWAYS; Brooke preferred when it was her of course, but even when it sadly wasn't her it was Dar. There was ALWAYS a clear winner.
She wanted to be the winner, how could they both of possibly missed each other the same amount ? It must've been like some sort of best friend telepathy they had going on 'cos they were coolie kids.
The blonde giggled as her best friends hair blew up and landed swiftly out of his face, she liked that blow-y technique. It was like that muggle-y hair dryer thing but without the noise.
"Good!" she giggled, she liked Dar being cootie-free it meant they could hug and hold hands and play tag and everything whenever they wanted, all things that people who DID have cooties wouldn't be able to do without spreading their cootie-grossness.
"Good, im glad you like me. I like you too." Being besties would kind of be impossible if they didn't like each other- unless they LIED. Which would equal in them both having no presents at christmas for lying.
"I DONTTTT!" she demanded, crossing her arms over her front as she did so.
"Why do you care if i do anyway ? - not that i do cos i dont!" she quickly added, pfttt. Her and Alec were super hero friends that was IT! Liking people was gross. yuckie! She didn't need to like people, not in the way Dar was talking about. She was perfectly happy just liking people as friends how she already liked them.
Brooke was kind of caught off guard by Darwin's lips touching hers, but after a moments thought she kissed him back. Her cheeks burned up a little bit but she wasn't sure why. After kissing him she let go, looking down a bit and fiddling with her robes.
"Uh..." she didn't know what to say. Itwassortanicethough, in a yucky way.
