Chapter 3 : 2

Y/N P.O.V

~ I really wish I had blacked out from the impact. Absolutely anything would've been better than being in the arms of this thing. ~

I thought to myself. Trying to avoid eye contact with the number. Being in his presence made me feel drowsy. It was incomprehensible how afraid I was of them. And now that I was in his arms. I was in a constant state of alertness. I couldn't even move.

...

- So. - Four muttered

I looked up with hesitation.

- You broke that candy, huh? - He said, with a small snicker. I looked away, wanting to cower in my arms. This situation was too uncomfortable. I couldn't stand it.

- Yeah... - I whimpered , staring at my feet dangling in the air.

- Hahaha! Wow that's unexpected - He said covering his face a little while chuckling.I turned around, looking straight ahead.

There was still a little distance to go to get to the rooms. At the moment we were passing in front of other teams, who were just staring at us, confused.I sighed, leaning back a little more in the arms of the number. I just wanted to lie down on my bed or even on my floor , and pass out for the rest of the day.

I didn't feel like doing anything at all. My spirits were at rock bottom.

Four seemed pretty calm , he wasn't insulting me or laughing at me like I expected him to.It was strange. But I wasn't complaining, the silence was quite comforting.

Without noticing , I started snuggling against the number's fur. It was quite warm and soft. It felt as if i were leaning against a pillow .I sighed , inhaling a bit of his scent . Without realizing it, my eyes were suddenly beginning to slowly close.

My gaze wavered a little , I turned to look sidelong at the face of the number . Who simply had a stupid grin on his face.

I sighed , surrendering to the tiredness.

Third person P.O.V

The day was finally over. For better or worse, there had been enough surprises for today. Most of the objects retired to their rooms, some like bubble or Fanny staying behind to talk on the grass. But that wasn't important to the number.

His look was fairly tired. It had been quite a shock for him. He really had to rest, before his thoughts went crazy again.

- Hey, four! - The little variable, who was reading a book, greeted him as he entered.

The two of them shared a small hut, it was quite far from the contestants ground. Yet , far enough to allow privacy for the numbers.

Four simply responded with a wave of his hand. Leaning back on a couch next to X.

- You look exhausted. Did something happen? - he asked a little worried. Putting the book aside and approaching the number.

The number simply groaned in response, which was followed by a yawn.

- Don't tell me... - X placed a hand on his face, somewhat annoyed.

- Did you do your jawbreaker 'experiment' with YN? - he muttered with some irritation.Four just turned around and laughed nervously.

He really was vulnerable , therefore x was not afraid of him.

The variable sighed.

- How many times do I have to tell you... Projecting yourself onto other people isn't a healthy thing to do... - X approached the number , stroking his back a little .

He sighed , turning around to look the variable in the face.

- I'm not... Projecting - He said with a mocking tone. Although it was obvious to the variable that he was not well emotionally.

- Four... You know that none of what happened is your fault... - X lifted him up a little, with the attempt to hold him in his arms.

The number seemed quite exhausted , so he did not deny the display of affection.

- X. - Four grunted , with a certain tone of sorrow .

But the variable did not seem to have any intention of letting him go.
Instead , he hugged him tighter , rubbing his back tenderly.

- Four. I know you feel bad. Just let it all out...- He murmured .

The number seemed to be on the verge of tears .
But he didn't want his partner to see him being so helpless.

- I am... Fine... This has nothing to do with him...- He whispered , his voice cracking a little .

- Ever since you met YN you've been treating them worse than the others. It's obvious that something is going on. You're not even doing it for satisfaction... - X replied.

Four finally broke down, hugging the Variable, his eyes starting to get wet.

- He... Wanted me to be so many things... I'm... I'm weak.. - Four mumbled, small tears falling down his light blue cheeks. Followed by some uncontrollable hiccups.

It was unusual for his partner to see this kind of behavior. He had never seen Four so weak. So vulnerable.
It saddened him to think of all he had suffered.

- Four. I promise you that nothing that happened was your fault. He's responsible for this. Not you. You did the best you could. You are not weak. - He said, stepping back far enough to make eye contact with him.

- You are one of the strongest people I know. Don't ever forget that please.. - X seemed to be on the verge of tears alike.
He couldn't bear to see his best friend suffer like this. It was too much for him.

His emotions seemed to want to take control of him at any moment.

X simply stuck to comforting his friend, rubbing his back as he cooed to him. With the intention of getting him to sleep .

- Everything will be fine.. I promise .. - He murmured. Gently hugging his friend. Who was half asleep in his arms.

- X.. - Four whispered , holding back his tears .

The variable turned to look at him. Intrigued to know what he was going to tell him.

- YN reminds me too much of me.... I don't know what to do, it hurts . - Four sobbed. Rather tired.
X looked at him , trying to think of a solution or answer at least.

Finally, something had dawned on him.

- Why don't you try talking to them more? - X suggested, with a small hint of a smile.
Four looked confused, even offended.

- What do you mean? - he said, wiping some tears from his cheeks.

- Have you ever thought that YN might feel the same way you once felt...? - The variable remarked.

Four seemed to pay attention, nodding.

- Maybe you could help them. Give them advice , act as a mentor to them.... Even if it's hard , a compliment might be enough to cheer them up . You never know .. - X let out a nervous chuckle .

Four looked perplexed.
As stupid as it would sound. That option had never crossed his mind .

- Well.. I'll think about it.. - Four sighed, leaning back on the couch. Trying to sleep.

X smiled again, happy to see his friend more relaxed.

- Good night , Four -
X said , picking up his book again , as his companion rolled over to sleep.

- Rest , X  -
