“N-no it's ok.” y/n says, “I don’t want to ruin your bed”

“I don’t mind, I will fix it later. For now let's get you fixed up okay?” Mikan said, and y/n eases down into the bed, wincing at the pain that is their arm. y/n notices that Mikan is not acting anxious and is not stuttering like she usually is. y/n smiles at the thought that she’s comfortable around them, or maybe that she is really focused on them, and their injury. She quickly pulled out a bag and ran across the room to get a stand, and then she placed the tools on the table. 

Mikan is really worried about y/n. When she went to the door and saw a pool of blood on her doorstep, she knew this was something Monokuma was behind. She cares for y/n really deeply but is not ready to tell them that. Mikan is worried she will just get rejected, or used, like what always happens. She slightly remembers what happened before this killing game, and remembers this girl used Mikan for a plan, but she doesn’t remember what the plan was for. And with her parents, all they did was use or neglect her. Mikan is scared about getting hurt more, so she is very cautious, and that is part of the reason she has trouble talking to people comfortably, like herself. She has had different feelings with everyone else compared to her feelings with y/n. They seem more strong, and harder to control.

Mikan shakes her thoughts away about that and focuses on y/n’s injury. It is a medium sized gash, yet it is pretty deep. She believes stitches should do the job. Mikan starts by cleaning the wound, and y/n winces quite a bit at this, but it needs to be done. Mikan next gets as much blood as she can out of the way, and grabs a needle. 

“Woa woa woa what’s that for?” y/n asks, sounding a bit frightened. 

“It is nothing major, it will numb your wound so I can stitch it up” Mikan replies.

“No, I’m sure we don’t need that, and we don’t need stitches, right? They involve needles”

Mikan Realizes that y/n is afraid of needles and stifles a giggle. Mikan finds that fear so silly, but she has been around medical stuff most of her life, it must be different for everyone. She thinks of a way to calm y/n quickly, and takes their hand that’s on the arm free of injury. She squeezes the hand, and looks at y/n in the eye. “It will be okay, okay? I will hold your hand the entire time and it will be okay” Mikan gives a soft smile as y/n hesitantly nods their head. Mikan injects the numbing fluid, and y/n tenses up but relaxes a moment after. “See I hope that wasn’t too bad for you.”

“I guess it wasn’t as bad as when other doctors do it. Maybe because it was you that did it” y/n smiles 

Mikan blushes a bit and then goes to let go of y/n’s hand but y/n grabs it so they wouldn’t let go. “Hey, y/n, I need two hands to do the rest, I’m sorry. Y-you can hold my hand as much as you want afterwords” Mikan says quietly, and then Mikan’s hand was free. She goes to grab the stitches materials and stitches y/n up quickly so they wouldn’t lose way too much blood. y/n officially had 9 stitches going down their arm. A battle scar from whatever Monokuma did to them.

Mikan leaves the cottage for about 15 min to let y/n’s adrenaline wear down and have their arm rest. She then comes back in and y/n is sitting up and immediately looks at Mikan. y/n looks at the empty spot beside them and looks back at Mikan, coercing her to join them on the bed. Mikan slowly walks over there to sit down as y/n develops a mischievous looking smirk. 

“Haha what is going on in your head right now” Mikan said.

“I was missing your pretty face.” y/n said, causing Mikan to turn a bright red on her cheeks. Mikan went to say something, but started stuttering so y/n went to say more. “Uh, thank you for tending to me, I really appreciate it. Maybe I could do something in return.” y/n then takes Mikan’s hand and turns more to Mikan. Mikan suddenly puts her own hand on y/n’s cheek and starts to lean in, stopping abruptly. Mikan then begins to speak, very softly.

“M-may I” 

“It should be may I, I have the favor I need to return” y/n says as they pull in to a warm and soft kiss with Mikan. y/n thinks about Mikan’s lips, and how soft and small they are, which is so fitting. y/n loves the feeling of the kiss with Mikan so when Mikan pulls away for a moment, y/n pulls back in and gives Mikan another kiss, but more romantic and passionate this time. y/n’s uninjured arm finds their hand going up Mikan’s back and to the back of her head, so she can’t pull away, and so the kiss is longer. After some more moments, y/n lets Mikan pull away. And watches Mikan’s precious lips develop into a smile, and she cautiously hugs y/n.

“Thank you...that was the best favor I have ever been given.” Mikan says quietly in y/n’s ear and pulls away. 

“Of course, and I will do it again, I will do it one hundred times over. Mikan.” y/n smiles. “I’m actually kinda tired, if you would like to lay with me”

“Hey y/n, I hope I wasn’t too loud today.” Alex says as he grins at you, knowing full well you think it is entertaining to hear him act like an idiot.

“It was fine, you seemed to be enjoying yourself, which makes me happy.” You say, after you give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“That’s good, because it is never going to change.” he says, still smiling.

You sit up, and put the beanie on, that you caught when Alex threw it at you a moment ago, and start acting like him, cursing a lot like he does in the smp, and also pretending to be buff Quackity, saying it is the buff Quackity arc. He laughs and takes his beanie off of your head and throws it on his nightstand. Now that both of you are sitting up, Alex goes to give you a hug and then he affectionately tackles you back down on the bed and rests his head on your chest before speaking again. “I am very exhausted, mi amor.”

  “It’s ok sweetheart. Lay with me and everything will be fine.” You say as you start playing with his hair, twirling a strand around your finger and brushing his hair out with your hands. You want to talk to him at least a little bit, but he does really seem drained, so you let him lay there as he turns and asks with his body to be sheltered by you, and you oblige. “I didn’t think you could be this tired, considering how hyper you always are.” you giggle after some more moments of silence. Alex responds with a mumbled yes, as his head is cradled in your chest. 

You both fell asleep in each other's arms for a few hours, neither of you meaning to, as it was pretty early for you guys to be going to bed for the night. You wake up around 12:00 am and head to the bathroom. When you walk back to the bedroom, you see Alex is sitting up on the bed, leaning against the wall the bed is by. He has his arms crossed and is pouting, yet in an exaggerated way. You giggle a bit, but then you are interrupted when Alex says something to you. 

“Y/n where’d you go?” Alex says in a jokingly upset tone.

“I am sorry my love, I woke up and really had to pee” you say as you walk back to the bed, sitting beside him.

“Come here, I missed you” Alex says as he grabs your arm softly so you are pulled into another embrace and then he pulls away to only go in and give you a warm and soft passionate kiss, before hugging you again. “Let’s watch a movie or something darling” 

You nod your head yes before he turns around to grab the remote on his nightstand so he can turn some mundane movie on. You guys weren’t really going to watch the movie, it was just an excuse so you could cuddle more and talk some. This time, when you guys lay down, you chose to be the little spoon, and he wraps his arms around you, while you know he is not going to let go for a while. You guys do watch the movie some in this before you chose to talk to him about his stream, since he perks up at that subject, and you like it when he is happy and his eyes are gleaming with joy.

“How was the jackbox stream? Who all was there again too?” you ask quietly, in case he was asleep. 

“Oh it was pretty fun, Just took forever. I was not in the mood much for social interaction, And I know that’s rare for you to hear me say” Alex responded, “Oh, and there was Dream, George, Sapnap, and Karl. The feral boys!” 

“That’s nice! I hope you still had fun even though it felt like forever for you” 

“Yes I did! I always have fun when I’m with the feral boys.” Alex said before kissing you on the cheek. 

“I really like you.”  I said at first and immediately realized what exactly I said so I tried to fix it quickly “er-uh I mean I like hanging out with you.”I then smiled at Sal kindly. Maybe this is a new era for me. I’m not fully sure yet so I shake that thought off.

Sal perked up like he was happy to hear what I said. “I have really liked hanging out with you today too” he turned his head sideways a bit like he was smiling. I didn’t know he still showed emotion even though his face got all fucked up. Sal started talking again. “I noticed you switched up your sentence quickly, is there something you're not telling me?” I paused and got all nervous when he said those words, I didn’t know what to say so it was just silent for a moment. Sal then starts to laugh. “I’m just messing with you haha. You did seem to get nervous for a moment there though.” Sal continues to laugh and I laugh with him too, but nervously. What if I messed up, and now he hates me. What if he found out? I try to shake the thoughts away as we start back on the project.

We continue the project but something seems a bit different with Sal. He starts to get closer physically with me and keeps touching my hand, but it looks a bit accidental. He starts making flirty remarks too and it is like he is teasing me about liking him. I hope this is just how he acts with close friends, cause he is like this with Larry sometimes. I ignore what he has done until it just gets a little annoying.

“What the fuck are you doing man?” I ask a little aggressively. 

“Am I doing something wrong? I thought that's what you wanted” Sal says in a flirty tone. I can’t tell if he knows or not but my actions worked faster than my thoughts on the situation and I began to say things I thought I would probably regret in the moments after I said it.

“Yes you are doing something wrong because I can’t act all flirty and touchy back, even though I wish I could.” I suddenly covered my mouth with my hand, realizing what I had said. What have I done? Sal is going to destroy me at school, and maybe my dad will freak out, and he will beat me more. I was so terrified until Sal sat closer to me again and pulled my hand away from my mouth and held both of my hands and giggled a bit.

“Don’t worry, I do these things because I also like you. There’s no need to be embarrassed. It is ok to like other boys. I know that note in the bathroom is yours and that’s why I wanted you to participate in this sleepover. I want to show you that it’s ok” Sal took off his mask slowly, and my first thought was to look away and so I did. He grabs my face to where I am looking at him and he leans in and kisses me on the cheek. Though his face was messed up and the kiss was a rough feeling, I really enjoyed it, and I might like him more, instead of less, for seeing his face. I am glad he is confident enough to show me his face, and I am glad he likes me back, as for one moment, I feel okay.

A period of time passes and I check my watch. Wow, it’s already 1:30 in the morning! I tell Sal that and say that I think we should go to bed since we have school the next day. He agrees and leads me to his room. I offer to stay on the couch but he says I can sleep on the bed with him. I am a little hesitant because I don’t want things to go too fast since I am getting used to relationships, especially ones with another boy. I go lay down on the far side of the bed, and Sal lays on the side closer to the door, and we both fall asleep.

I wake up to me cuddling Sal, my arm around him as he cradles his body within me. I smile at the thought that I can do this now comfortably, I just have to learn it is ok to like other boys. He then wakes up and turns around as I am laying and whispers good morning. Sal then sat up and stretched, so I sat up a bit too, and he came over to my side of the bed and hugged me, and whispered in my ear,

“I’m so glad we can do this now. I have liked you for a while, Trav”

All my fears washed away at that moment, and I hugged him back and responded, “I am so glad I was confident enough to tell you, even though it was a mistake sorta” 

He leaned back and smiled, and his smile was the best smile I have ever seen, and I don’t ever want to lose that smile. Sal then gave me a kiss on the cheek and thought out loud about getting ready, and so we did get ready for school. We walked to school holding hands, until about a block or two away because I am not ready for people to see this.
