Ah, young love. Our timid protagonist, Soda Bottle (Andy Duthie), is prepared to give a love letter to his crush, Battery (Daniel Rapitis). However, anxiety floods his head and in a panic, backs out and locked himself in a storage closet. While he tries to calm down, he is greeted by Holy Water (Creator/JacobFairclough) and Forbidden Fruit ([=QuicksandQueen14=]) who help, or the latter's case hinder, him in making a small life-changing decision.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Forbidden Fruit actively dissuades Soda Bottle from giving the letter saying Battery will never reciprocate him and he'll be ostracized as a result. Later on, Holy Water confronts her about how she's making things uneccessarily difficult and would have wanted Soda Bottle to get the guy as much as him to which she actually ''agrees'' with.

* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: Forbidden Fruit antagonises Soda Bottle and tells him to give up delivering his love letter under the assumption Battery will never love him back.

!!The short contains the following tropes:
* ADogNamedDog: As much as the short isn't a standard [[ObjectShows Object Show]], the tradition of the trope is kept alive as the characters are named after their species, objects.
* AlliterativeName: '''F'''orbidden '''F'''ruit
* AnimateInanimateObject: It's a ComingOutStory set in HighSchool but with anthropomorphic objects.
* AnthropomorphicFood: You're quite tempted to eat Forbidden Fruit though it's not a wise decision.
* ComingOutStory: Soda Bottle wants to express his feelings to his crush. The only problem is that Battery is a guy which distresses him enough to [[LiteralMetaphor lock himself in the storage closet]]. There he encounters his two angels who complicate the matters with their own opinions. Forbidden Fruit amplifies his doubts, saying it's fruitless and he'll be a laughing stock while Holy Water counters that no one would care and it'll cause way more heartbreak if he doesn't try. Fortunately, Soda Bottle took the latter's advice, steps out of the closet and without turning back, gives the letter to Battery.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Soda Bottle, after much {{Gayngst}}, finally got the courage to give the letter to Battery. As the angels look from afar in the closet, Battery reciprocates Soda Bottle's feelings and the two happily laugh together.
* GayAesop: As Holy Water puts it for Soda Bottle's same-sex crush:
-->'''Holy Water:''' "You need to stop worrying about what could happen and just go for it. You could be so happy together but you never know until you take that first step."
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Holy Water and Forbidden Fruit respectively complete with HolyHalo and HornsOfVillainy. They are the personifications of Soda Bottle's anxiety and morality when faced with the dilemma of giving the love letter to Battery.
* HighSchool: Where the setting of the short takes place.
* LiteralMetaphor: Soda locks himself inside a storage closet, symbolizing his [[{{Gayngst}} overwhelming fear of his crush rejecting him]]. He leaves once he makes up his mind and mustered the courage to give the letter (The [[FunWithSubtitles subtitles]] even lampshades this).
-->'''Subtitle:''' [The Gay comes out of the closet...funny.]
* MinimalistCast: There's only four people present in the short, the protagonist Soda Bottle, his angels Forbidden Fruit and Holy Water and his crush Battery.
* SilentProtagonist: Soda Bottle uttered one "hey" and a few audible noises but other than that, he's relatively quiet and lets his angels do most of the talking.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: We don't hear Battery's response to Soda Bottle's confession but it's implied he accepted it as the two were seen happily smiling and laughing together at the end.
