#it's the quiet confessions

[respectthepetty]

When Sprite and Tun were teasing each other in the locker room, Tun jokingly said that he wasn't important to Sprite now that Sprite has new friends, and Sprite jokingly told Tun he was old news.

Sprite told Tun he was being replaced as a best friend, but later when Sprite saw how upset First was in the locker room, there was no teasing.

First wouldn't even maintain eye contact with Sprite.

But the second Sprite confirmed that he sees the relationship he has with First differently than the rest, First looked at him.

The doubt that First holds in is clearly on display throughout this scene. Sprite has been nothing but nice to First for the past few weeks, but Zee was mean to him for years. First can't trust his feelings because he can't trust Zee.

So when Sprite questions First's behavior, First admits he is jealous, but every look First gives during the confession is him questioning his own feelings.

Is he allowed to feel this way? Is it okay to admit to it? Is he misreading Zee? Is he messing everything up?

Then, Sprite simply says his name and his face changes.

And that confirms every doubt First had.

I thought you were nice to me because you had feelings for me too.

He misunderstood. Zee was just being nice. He doesn't have a right to feel the way he does.

He is the problem.

But then, Sprite reaches out to him.

He brings First back. That touch makes First look at him again.

Who said I don't?

Another questioning look from First.

But this time, Sprite pulls him in for a kiss as an answer.

And that's why I'll be living in this episode all week.
