Aborted Romance

Lemon Zest pushed open the doors energetically, bouncing inside. “Happy birthday, Button Mash!” she called out.

The room was silent.

Lemon looked around curiously. “Button Mash?” she said, peering under the tables.

A sigh. “Over here, Lemon.”

Lemon Zest walked behind the kitchen counter where Button Mash lay, drenched in hot sauce. “W-What happened to you?”

“These guys they… arrived at my party. They were the only ones. But they were only their to tease me, so…” Button sighed.

“Well, I’m glad I’m here! I mean, who wouldn’t want to go to a party? Especially a birthday party!” Lemon cheered.

“R-Right,” Button Mash said, standing up. “You are!”

“Right I am,” Lemon Zest said, “so let’s go have some fun!”

An hour of partying later, and Button Mash walked towards the fridge, pulling out a ginormous cake. “I was expecting lots of people to come, but I guess that didn’t happen, so now we have it all to ourselves.”

“Awesome!” Lemon said, cutting herself a really big slice, she and Button Mash sat down at the table together.

“Thanks for coming, really. I was worried I was gonna be all alone,” he said.

“No-one should be alone on their birthday!” Lemon said, looking up at him. She swallowed and leaned closer to him.

“You’ve got a little something…” Lemon Zest licked the icing off his cheek, grinning as Button Mashed blushed, hiding his face.

“Heheh, you’re so cute!” Lemon said, moving back to her cake.
