From the Start...(PAYJAY FANFIC)Words: 12359

[Final Chapter!! >_<]

(Papers Pov, 3rd person:)

Paper dangeled his legs, swinging them up and down on the edge of his of his bed. He was going to hang out with OJ again tonight! Exciting, is it not? And Maybe...Tell OJ how he fealt. No, Not Maybe. He WAS. This was is it. The night that him and OJ could either become something more than what they are, or..Ruin everything for good. But, he had to do it either way. He CANT bottle this up anymore! He has to do this!!

This time, Paper wasnt trying to constantly figure a certain kind of words to use. He was just going to find those words in the moment. Then and there, He could say the truth. The REAL truth. Paper smiled of the thought of his "Friend". OJ was everything to him, Everything. Litterally. OJ was the person he cared about the MOST and no one else would ever replace that spot in his heart. OJ. and OJ only.

Paper decided to get to work before he got too deep into his thoughts So, he got up off the edge of his bed, jumping slightly and landing his feet onto the ground. Paper went into the lobby, Looking for OJ. Even though he had finished everything, He might as well do somemore to get things off of OJ's chest! Make things easier for him.

(Paper pov, 1st person now bc yes:)

I walked up to my best friend with a smile, He was chatting with some guests, [I SPELLED IT CORRECTLY THIS TIME-] he seemed pretty happy, which was good and made me happy! I decided to just do something else instead of inturrpting their conversation. So, I went to go sweep. Pickle's area was a mess, might as well go clean that so I grabbed the broom and started sweeping around the bright-Orange couch in front of the TV and gaming consols. Nobody was sitting there at the moment, So it made things a bit easier and No one complaining! Yay!

After a bit of cleaning the area, I wiped sweat of my forehead and put the broom away. OJ looked like he was done, no, wait. Salt was annoying him. Damnit...Again?? Will she ever let this man go? I decided to go help OJ...

Salt was hugging OJ tightly with a HUGE smile on her face as she went through a list of reasons why she loved OJ, saying thousands of words so fast it was almost diffucult to understand what she was saying. OJ, was not having it. He was pushing her away, he seemed like He REALLY didnt want her touching him. I walked up to them and helped OJ get Salt off him.

Paper: "Salt....PLEASE get off OJ..."

I said, my tone full of annoyance.

Salt: "Paper, like, Shut up. OJ, like, loves me. So, Scram."

OJ: "For the last time, I dont love you!! Let go of me!!!"

He said, pushing Salt off of him. I helped and pulled her off. Finally, she let go of OJ and pouted. Salt then scoffed, flipped her hair and left. OJ sighed in relief.

OJ: "Oh My god, Thank you. She WOULDNT get off of me. I think her nails dug into my skin- like...Really hard. It hurts."

Paper: "I dont even know how you deal with her! Personally, I would explode. I could never."

OJ: "Ehhhh...I've tried to not get angry as much as I can. Candle has taught me calming tricks, and they really help!"

Paper: "Oh! Cool! That Season 3 competetor?"

OJ: "Yeah! We were on the same team and......"

OJ then started rambling about his experience in the third season of the show. Which honestly, I didnt mind hearing! I love hearing OJ's voice, its beautiful. So of course, I listened! Mostly so he wouldnt stop talking. I gave him nods, certain noise, and smiles to let him know I was listening. As OJ rambled, We worked. Doing certain tasks, Cleaning but still talking!

After awhile of Talking and working, Me and OJ hadnt even realized, We finished everything!! OJ looked at his list of tasks, seeing that we had nothing more to do.

OJ: "Oh! We finished everything!!"

Paper: "Wait, Really?"

OJ: "Yeah! Thanks for the help Paper!!"

OJ said, looking at me with a smile on his face. I smiled back and nodded

Paper: "Of course! Happy to help!! Well, what now??"

OJ: "Hm...Wanna just hang out..? I mean, I know we're doing that tonight but, Its not even close lights out time yet- Sooo..."

Paper: "Yeah! Sure!! I love hanging out with you, Its just we'll be alone tonight."

OJ seemingly smiled widely at me after I spoke, but a diffrent smile. A..Hm, I dont exaclty know what kind of smile it was but I assumed it was a good one.

{Timeskip}

(OJ's Pov:)

Hours had gone by since me and Paper were working. Now, we were just chatting together and with others, seeing how everyone was doing. Making sure that everyone was ok and yet talking about ourselves too. It was nice talking to Paper for this long without anything being akward or soneone getting in the way and bothering us.

Finally, It was light-out time. I rang a small bell we had, everyone stopped what they were doing and then wenr to their rooms. Some Groaned, Some sighed, Some just went without a reaction. Depends on who the person was. I smiled and watched everyone walk around, Hands on my hips. Once everyone was in there rooms, I went around the hotel and turned off each and every light there was. Exept for the lobby light, Me and Paper were going to be in there.

I looked back at Paper, who was just sitting on the couch with a smile on his face. He was adorable, I smiled back and walked up to him, Setting myself next to him on the Couch. We smiled at each other for a few moments. Hopefully, nothing or no one could really ruin ANYTHING. between us, Im very sure of it. I heard Paper start to speak,

Paper: "So.......uh.."

Paper said, dangeling his legs. I giggled, dont know why, but I did. We just smiled at each other, I decided to speak up instead of just staring at him, thats kind of akward.

OJ: "So, um.... Is everything ok?"

Paper: "Y-yeah! Im ok...Just..."

(Nobodies Pov:)

--------------------

Papers chest hurt. His heart hurt. He had to say the truth, but it was hard and he didnt know when or how he should confess. The Boy knew he had to do it, but it was hard. Really hard. And it hurt. A lot. Paper sighed, his sigh shaky.

Paper: "OJ...H-how would you feel if...uh- I.."

OJ frowned, he put a hand on Papers. He was afraid that Paper might be thinking he was mad at him again. No. He was never. He would never be mad at his best friend unless he did something horrible. And he knew Paper would never do anything like that. Thats one the many reasons he loved him!

OJ: "Paper. Im not mad at you, Remember that. Please..."

Paper stared at his best friend, his eyes slightly wide. He hesitated to react, but smiled at OJ.

Paper: "th-thank you...But thats not it- um......" Paper paused. "Can I...tell you something..?"

OJ turned his head in confusion, but nodded anyways. What was it that Paper had to tell? Paper started to speak, but it was hard. He took a deep breath, preparing to tell the truth. The Hotel Manager gave Paper a reassuring smile and a small touch on his shoulder. He returned the smile and started to speak.

Paper: "Your my best friend...! We've always done things together, a-and we've worked together..Y-Youve helped me through all my promblems, a-and I've Tried to help you. And..-...I thought- m-maybe...."

Paper explained, letting out the truth. He was doing it! He was actually doing it! Nothing could inturpt them, He was not going to convince himself to not do this, he wasnt thinking OJ was mad at him. It was just them. And Papers words, the words of truth. They could be. It could be! OJ's eyes widened, having an idea on what Paper was going to say.

Paper: "M-Maybe...W-we..could- uh..We could maybe..."

Paper tried to get this last part out. From brain, to out of his mouth. He tried to say the 3 words, his voice trembling and shaky. He was trying his hardest but after a bit of trying, The white boy sighed.

Paper: "ugh...Fuck it..."

OJ turned his head, confused. Paper then grabbed OJ's tie and pulled him close to eye level but he let go, knowing that really wasnt the best idea. OJ stayed at eye level with Paper.

--------------------

Paper: "....I love you, OJ!"

OJ let our a small gasp when he heard those 3 little words. Paper looked up at his friend, he was in complete shock as he stared at Paper. He started to tear up, senarios flooding his mind. Many of them were horrible and hurt to think of. Tears filled his eyes as they dripped down, across his cheek.

Paper: "A-and...its ok, if you dont feel the same way.... I-I mean.. I-im me..."

Paper said, his voice cracking as his tears fell down. He fealt his throat and chest hurt.

OJ, on the other hand, was processing everything. He fealt his heart pound, LOUD. Like a drum. His breath trembled. The boy noticed his friend tearing up and crying. That made him ache. He fealt the same way, why was this such a shock? Why was he not reacting!? Do something OJ, Do something!!

OJ:"Paper...."

OJ made the next move, and raised his hand, placing it on Papers cheek. Making Paper look at OJ.

OJ: "I love you too,"

Papers eyes widened greatly. He chuckled in disbealife. His tears still falling out of his eyes ans down his cheek but a small smile forming on his face.

Paper: "R.....R-Really...?"

OJ: "Why would I say it if I didnt mean it? But, yes...I love you, Paper!"

Paper: "S-sorry...This just feels so unreal....I love you!"

They both repeated, hands on each others bodies and faces. Paper had a huge smile on his face. Nothing could possibly explain the joy he fealt in this moment. It was like the bloom of a new tree, A pink, cherry blossom tree of absolute beauty.  OJ giggled as he fealt Papers hands on his waist and back. He smiled widely, he was so happy, it was hard to put out into words. All of OJ's and Paper's anxiety about the other went away.

OJ brought their faces closer to each other with a smile. He then realized what he was doing and asked for consent first, he hadnt meant to pull them that close but decided to work with it.

OJ: "Can I-"

Paper: "Of course....!"

Paper said, with absolute excitement cutting OJ off. The hotel manager giggled and pulled Paper closer, his eyes slowly shutting. Paper did the same, as he held OJ's waist.

Their lips met and they had kissed for a few moments. It was wonderful, OJ fealt just how Paper imagined it. Soft, warm. It was the moment they both had been wanting to experince for a long time now, and it was finally happening. The thought of that made OJ smile into the kiss as he continued. The white-haired boy fealt his face heat up from it as he pulled OJ as close as he possibly could. OJ fealt that it was a little exsessive to pull him that close but didnt mind. After a bit, they let go and looked in to each others eyes before giggling, OJ rested his forehead on Papers as he smiled widely.

OJ: "I love you...."

Paper: "I love you too.."

Paper returned the words, smiling. He then kissed OJ's cheek just for funsies and OJ giggling from the gesture. They got away from being so close but instead, interlaced fingers. Paper smiled at OJ. OJ returned that lovely smile.

Paper: "So....What are we now? I mean...We kinda just kissed and all and I dont think thats what friends do so.."

OJ giggled and sqeezed Papers hand gently.

OJ: "Boyfriends. If your comfortable with that."

Paper let the title run through his mind. Boyfriends, huh? Sounded about right. The white-haired boy smiled and nodded.

Paper: "Yeah...Boyfriends! I like that!"

OJ: "Ok, Then Boyfriends it is!!"

OJ said with a small giggle as Paper pulled himself closer to him, slowly getting on top of the manager. They both giggled and lied together on the couch. Kissing once again, the second one being as wonderful as their first, but being more used to it. This time it wasnt as long as the first time, but still lasted awhile. When they let go, they smiled and giggled. Paper deciced to repeat some words.

Paper: "I love you, OJ. I always have."

OJ: "I have too! I love you Paper"

OJ said with a small giggling and a kiss on Papers forehead. He smiled and then there on out. The 2 were in a relationship. And no one else seemed to mind! Exept for Salt, of course. But eventually she got over it and started a thing with Pepper. Both Paper and OJ were happy. They worked together, they shared a bedroom and they would spend each day, together.
