FlyingPigMonkey: you think everything is cute ):

Animegirl1129: Well, it always seemed really obvious to me that at least Shaggy was high all the time, but no one really seemed to address this in the fandom. I hope this belated chapter is good for you (:

Our lips were connected for what seemed like forever, but was probably only a second or two. I pulled away from Fred, his eyes still closed. For a panicky second, the thought of running away grazed my thoughts, but my legs just wouldn't move. Cemented, cast in stone.

His eyes slowly opened, small pools of sky blue meeting my own dirt coloured eyes. There was no expression on Fred's face.

Damn, I just couldn't hide it anymore.

I remember the exact moment I fell in love with Fred. We were twelve and it was the hottest summer ever. Fred came over with a wheelbarrow full of water balloons, his orange swim-trunks hanging loosely on his thin hips. With a huge smile, Fred challenged me to a water fight.

'C'mon Shaggy! Are you scared I'll beat you?' Fred stuck his tongue out at me, picking up a water balloon.

I huffed. 'No way, man! I can totally beat you!'

Fred laughed, grabbing another water balloon from the wheelbarrow and throwing it at me. I dodged it, the balloon zooming past me into my house, exploding on the wall behind me. 'What the hell Fred!'

My blonde friend laughed, shrugging his shoulders. 'Guess that means war, huh?'

I lunged forward, grabbing a couple of balloons from the wheelbarrow, throwing them as hard as I could at my still laughing friend. He tried dodging, but one hit in square in the face, exploding, drenching his hair, which then turned into a strawberry-blonde.

'Fred, you look so fucking stupid right now!' I laughed, nearly dropping my other water balloon, still clutched in my other hand. Fred crossed his arms over his bare chest, mock pouting present on his full lips.

There wasn't anything particular special about Fred that day, but in that moment of my best friend standing in my front yard, a wheelbarrow full of water balloons, his upper half drenched and his lips pouted in such a perfect way, I fell in love.

"Shaggy?"

My thoughts ended, Fred's beautiful blue eyes coming back into my main focus – as if they weren't always my main focus. But instead of a blank expression on his face, confusion and worry was there. I pushed up off of Fred quickly, falling on my ass on the grass next to him. Smooth.

"Shaggy, are you okay?" Fred asked, sitting up quickly, reaching his hand out to my shoulder. I nodded, slightly confused.

"Yeah, I'm fine, it's not like I fell very far, Fred."

Fred looked even more confused for a moment, giving me a peculiar look. "No, dude, you're crying."

Alarmed, I rubbed at my face and sure enough there were tears. Embarrassed, I blushed, trying to hide my face in my hand. Smooth, you had a fucking flashback and started crying. Oh, and don't forget, you kissed your best friend. How dumber can you get?

"Fred, I'm sorry, can we like, forget about this?"

It's not like I could actually forget about this, the turning point of my turning point. The very thing that had been haunting my beautiful nightmares since I was twelve. So many nights of waking up in a cold sweat; so many tears spilled; all the moments of wishing, hoping, praying to a god that's never there – all because of him. So, while I can ask Fred to forget this horrible, uncomfortable moment of exposure, I'll never forget this moment 'till the day I die an early death.

A hand gently placed on my knee caused me to look up from my hand, the tears seeming to finally stop flowing. Fred's sky-eyes filled my vision and it was almost enough to make me cry all over again. Worry and true concern were painted in his eyes, like he just couldn't figure out why I even had a reason to cry in the first place.

"Why would I forget about this?"

I sighed, rubbing my forehead, the urge to laugh, cry, scream and vomit all trying to get out of me. I let out a small, chocked chuckle. "Fred, you better not be fuckin' with me right now, 'cause I'll totally flip a shit."

Fred's hand disappeared from my knee, and I desperately wanted it back there, where it felt it belonged. I glanced down at his hands, which were now nervously twitching in his lap, then kept my gaze on his beautiful face. Worry was still present (which looked really wrong on his face; only smiles and laughter should be there), but the confusion was completely gone, which only caused me to be confused.

Looking down at his own hands, Fred took a deep breath, the nervous energy almost radiating off of him. "Y'know, Shags, I don't think I want to forget about this." Fred flicked his eyes up to mine, which suddenly seemed shy.

Quickly, I scooted closer to Fred, bumping our knees together, grabbing his hands from his lap. Fred let out a small squeak, an amazing blush gracing his cheeks. Fred kept his eyes locked into mine. Adrenaline made my heart thump almost painfully, my confidence rising slightly.

"Fred, you didn't mind me kissing you, right?" Fred nodded his head, his blush deepening. I continued. "Cool, 'cause I didn't mind kissing you either. In fact – " I brought my hand up to my best friend's cheek, my fingers tingling on top of the warmth from his blush. "- I think I want to kiss you again."

Slowly bringing my face closer to Fred, my eyes were just glued to his lips. I paused less than an inch away from my treasure, glancing back up at his jewels called eyes, silently asking if I could please fucking kiss him already. To my slight surprise, Fred closed the distance between us, bringing our lips together in a chaste kiss that sent fireworks to my brain and adrenaline to my heart. Nothing in my life could ever be as perfect as kissing my Fred. I don't think anything could even come close to compare.

Tentative fingers entwined in the hair on the back of my head, making our kiss deepen a little. My other hand held onto the back of Fred's neck, like if I let go for even a moment, he would run away forever.

My skin was getting hotter – already hotter than it was for this summer night. I needed more of Fred, I needed all of him. I slowly opened my mouth, shyly running my tongue along his closed lips, hoping that my friend would understand the message I was trying to ask him. Fred must has understood, because almost immediately his lips were eagerly open, letting me totally dominate his mouth in the most delicious of ways.

My teeth grazed Fred's bottom lip, and he let out a moan that made my pants a little tighter.

That moan broke me. With a half-moan, half-groan, I pushed Fred onto the grass, ripping my lips away from his and attacking his neck, sucking and biting. Fred gasped, clutching my hair and moaning.

I swear I could die at this moment and be totally fine with it.

I pushed myself up on my arms, above Fred. He let out a small whimper, sad I was no longer sucking on his neck. Before Fred could say anything to me, I whispered, "I've been in love with you since I was twelve."

Fred cocked his head to the side, looking a little annoyed and confused. "Are you serious?"

I laughed a little, his reaction just seeming so different than I ever thought it would be. "Yeah dude, I'm totally serious. I've been having wet-dreams about you for five years, man."

It was Fred's turn to laugh, his blush a little redder. "I've been in love with you since I was twelve, too."

The air seemed to leave my lungs and I collapsed into the crook of Fred's neck, a breathy laugh trying to escape from me. "Oh my god, we are so dumb." I laughed again, wrapping my arms around my love and smiling the biggest I probably ever had. "I love you so much, Fred."

Fred wrapped his arms around me, whispering in my ear, "Say it again."

The soft air from his whisper sent chills up my spine, a low moan barely escaping my lips. "I love you, Fred."

"Again."

Moan. "I love you."

"Again"

Another moan, my back arching slightly. "I – I love you Fred."

Small laughter. "Again, again."

I ripped my face away from Fred's neck, looking directly into his amazing blue eyes. "Don't tease me Fred, you know I love it." Before Fred got to say anything, I crashed my lips onto his, the need for my tongue to ask for permission nonexistent. We kissed and moaned and tried to get as close as our clothes would allow.

Grazing my lips on Fred's bottom lip, he moaned deep in his throat, arching his back into me. Our 'lower regions' rubbed against each other and I nearly cried out from the pleasure that ripped through me.

Ohmygod, Fred is hard. For you. He's hard and under you and letting you kiss him.

I growled, finally having enough. I thrust my hips forward, rubbing our erections together. Fred moan loudly and I was really glad that we weren't near any people, cause they would have totally heard that sinful sound only meant for me.

Blinded by pleasure, I thrust my hips forward again, in a jerky, awkward way. Fred thrust upward to meet with me. I nearly collapsed from the fact that my blonde friend was even under me, let alone thrusting his erect penis in alignment with my own.

Thrusting forward again, I attached my lips to Fred's neck, nipping and sucking and surely leaving some dark hickey's. He thrust his hips upward again, meeting my downward grind, causing the most sinful, amazing, addictive friction I have ever felt in my life. Our rhythmic thrust kept getting faster, harder, even more addicting.

Even though it was just dry-humping, and we were fully clothed, and less than an hour ago we were getting high under a tree, I wouldn't have traded this moment for the world.

Eventually, I just couldn't hold on any longer. I could feel my climax building fast, and the fact that Fred seemed to be close too was just making it harder to hold it off. I brought my face out of Fred's neck, somehow managing to hold my face up above Fred's.

One look at that beautiful face, covered in sweat and in the most delicious, naughty type of pain sent me over the edge so fast I could hardly choke out a "F-Fred, oh god!"

I came hard in my pants, Fred coming soon after with a "Sha-Shaggy!" that almost made me hard all over again. I collapsed next to Fred on the grass, not really looking forward to the walk home with cold come in my pants.

Our breathing and heart-rates finally slowed and I dared a glance at Fred, who just so happened to be stealing a glance at me. We laughed, entwining our fingers together so naturally that I couldn't figure out why we never had done this before, why we had decided that hiding the love we have for each other seemed like a good idea, when really it was the most idiotic thing I had ever done in my life.

I kept looking at Fred, feeling so complete. "So, Fred..?"

"Yeah Shaggy?" Fred replied with laughter laced in his voice. He looked over at me, one eyebrow cocked.

"Wanna be my boyfriend?"

Fred laughed so hard and so loud. Planting a chaste kiss on my cheek, my love excitedly nodded 'yes', squeezing my hand tightly.

I guess wishing on stars does pay off.

FINALLY DONE! D:

Oh wow, I'm so sorry that this took so terribly long. Let me say a couple of things and you can forever leave this.

I wanted Shaggy to not be so dumb. I feel like he's always played as the idiot, but I don't see him that way. I think he just doesn't think things all the way through sometimes, but I really do think he's smart. That's my opinion, at least.

Also, I'm not very good at writing lemons. I've only posted one before, and wrote only a couple in old notebooks before that. I hope it was okay. I was gonna to a full on hand-job thing, but I thought this was a little better.

Also, I might do an epilogue if you guys want. It's just a little idea floating around my brain, but let me know if you want more. For now, it will be labeled at complete.

Thank you all for reading this, it means so much to me 3

With much love, ~xxignoredxx
