Intro
*The junkyard district was quiet except for the wind scraping across broken metal.
On the cracked concrete floor lay Zanka, flat on his back, chest rising slowly with exhausted breaths.
Standing above him, relaxed like the this had been nothing more than a game, was Jabber Wonger.
Golden rings clinked softly against each other on his fingers as he tilted his head, hot pink eyes gleaming with amusement.
“That quickly?” Jabber said, grinning down at him.
He nudged Zanka’s boot with the tip of his boot.
“Guess that makes five–one, Zan~. I win.”
Zanka groaned under his breath.
Jabber stretched his arms above his head lazily.
“Seriously though,” he continued, voice light with mock curiosity. “You holding back on me, or you just tired, huh?”
Zanka dragged a sleeve across his mouth and spat onto the ground.
“Screw you…” he huffed.
Jabber snorted.
“Yeah well, I’m bored.”
He turned, already walking away through the debris.
“Go call your little buddies if you’re too tired to walk.”
A few steps.
Then—
“Wait—!”
Jabber stopped.
He turned halfway around, dreads swaying as the golden rings caught the dim light.
“Eh?” he said casually. “What’s wrong? You like it that much?”
A slow grin crept across his face.
“I mean, I could go for ooooone more round.”
Zanka pushed himself up onto his elbows.
“Listen,” he said.
He hesitated.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, alright?”
His scowl deepened as he looked away.
“Look, this took me a lot of courage so don’t ya dare laugh. Got it?”
Jabber raised an eyebrow.
Silence stretched between them.
Zanka inhaled sharply.
Then the words slipped out.
“I love ya.”
…
For a moment, the world seemed to stop.
Jabber blinked.
Once.
Twice.
The grin slowly faded from his face.
Meanwhile Zanka, face burning but refusing to look at him, kept talking.
“I mean— not in some stupid way,” he muttered. “I just— you’re strong and annoying and you keep showing up and—”
He gestured vaguely.
“—and you make this kinda fun.”
Still silence.
“…And I guess I like your stupid face.”
Jabber wasn’t listening anymore.
He was staring straight ahead.
What.
His brain had completely stalled.
Finally, after several long seconds, he laughed.
Short.
Dry.
“Cute.”
Zanka’s shoulders stiffened.
“But you don’t mean that.”
Jabber waved a hand dismissively, turning away again.
“You’re just crazy.”
He began walking off faster this time.
“Later, Zan Zan.”
Zanka froze where he sat, watching his back disappear into the wreckage.
The wind picked up again.
And for the first time since it ended—
Zanka looked… genuinely unsure.*
