Sprunki ??oNeShOtS??(REQUESTS ON HOLD)

* [Oren x Tunner] *

"I shall as well...! We can go play stall games instead!" Fun Bot recommends next. "And we can take Garnold with us!"

Mr. Fun Computer smiles once again in satisfaction. "Hurray!!" He cheers.

After a few rides, they stop to eat, and play stall games while they let their food digests. Simon then manages to piss off Raddy, who then preceeded to chase and threaten him for an hour straight, but after the ordeal, they went back to riding some roller coasters all while Black, Jevin, and Tunner never rode any at all (Not because they couldn't, but because they just didn't want to).

But now came that time when Oren gets a stomachache from the food he ate, and the rides making him dizzy. The rest excuse him for a few rides, and he follows them around, waiting with Jevin, Black and Tunner as they finish up ride after ride.

...And boy, was it awkward.

There was no talking, which is something Oren was used to. But after a few rides, Tunner attempts to speak to him, knowing Jevin and Black wouldn't.

"So Oren, how's it been babysittin' Simon?"

"Huh?" Oren looks up, not expecting conversation.

Tunner chuckles. "I noticed you keepin' a close eye on Simon. Lucky you were, or he woulda' gotten ran over by those kids runnin' through earlier today."

Oren scoffs, remembering what had happened. Earlier, when they had been there for about half an hour, Simon had once again ran ahead of the others.

A few short moments later, a group of teenagers suddenly began racing towards the entrance to see who could get their quickest. Of course they were originally gonna maneuver around Simon, but apparently they felt as if it was too much of a hassle to to so.

As they charged ahead, Oren quickly took notice and pulled Simon out of the way before he was hurt.

The memory, although minor, still pisses him off... that was his best friend after all.

"Well yeah. Simon never really takes care of himself sometimes... and somebody's gotta do it." Oren sighed, looking down at the ground.

"I can tell ya' care for him." Tunner nods with a fond smile. "You know... you're a great friend Oren. It sometimes makes me wish I had some; even one friend would do for me..."

Sensing the sadness in his tone, Oren turns to look at Tunner sympathetically. So he has no friends?
He had assumed that Tunner did. After all, Mr. Tree and Mr. Sun are friends with everyone... minus Raddy of course; he's just mean.

After thinking for a while, Oren had made up his mind.

"Tunner. I'll be your friend."

"Huh?" Tunner looks more confused than surprised, as if he's never even expect anyone to say that to him. This also hurt Oren, and even more empathy filled his heart.

To know that he had friends all of his life while Tunner had none... it was heartbreaking. "I said I'll be your friend! C'mon, whaddya say man?"

Tunner can't help but smile at Oren's enthusiasm. He then agreed with a head nod.
"Well, I can't say 'no' to such a kind offer." he shrugged.

With that settled the two are now friends. As the rest proceeded to ride more rides, the two became close friends quicker than expected.

But as a month or two passed, Oren felt sudden changes in his feelings.

He thought his feelings for Pinki were strong, but when it came to Tunner, he just didn't know what to say; he was just left speechless.
(No hate on Oren x Pinki, I still enjoy the ship)

So instead, he's been texting Tunner instead, making sure he's alright while on duty. Oren already knows how much Tunner loves his job, he's pratically doing it as a hobby, so he believes that texting him is much easier than finding him during the day.

But one month turns into two, and two turns into a few; still, Oren refuses to speak to him face to face.

And that brings us to the current day... where Simon finally notices his best friend's odd behavior.

After the whole confronting Oren ordeal, Simon decides to ask around for answers, and only Pinki gives crucial details... details that involve him and Tunner.

So he has a plan.

Two weeks later, Simon manages to catch Tunner on free time. He invites him, along with Oren and some others, over to his house for a sleepover; it was the perfect plan to get Oren to come out straight.

Once they were all over, Simon noticed how Oren mainly stays around the sheriff, having causal talk...

but be could already see through the facade.

Simon tries and tries again to call them out, but every time, Oren manages to expertly avoid the situation. It was near midnight, and Simon has finally had enough.

"Oren!!"

"Simon."

"Stop with that already! Ugh!" He scoffs, now standing in front of the other.

"You WILL tell me what's going on between you and Tunner!" He points to Tunner, who was standing right beside Oren at the time.

"What'cha think is goin' on, partner?" Tunner raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know yet, okay?! But as I warned you earlier Oren-"

"-Yeah yeah, you'll figure me out sooner or later." Oren rolls his eyes.

Simon then huffs and marches off once again.

Once they were alone, Tunner turns to Oren with a smirk. "We gonna tell the poor feller that we began datin' a week ago?"

"Nah. Just let him figure it out."
