!!WARNING!!: Panic attacks


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Where am I? This doesn't look like the town-!" Ena whined, walking alone in the empty streets of a neighborhood. Even though she left her house 5 minutes earlier, she felt lost and that she'd been walking for hours. Ena struggled to walk forward, her limbs becoming shaky and her mind spinning. "MOOOOONNNYYY IMMM LOOSSTTT!" she yelled to Moony-who wasn't there. Ena could feel her non-existent stomach turning and the lunch- (she TOTALLY ate-) start to come back up. Ena gave up and fell to her knees, her head turning and her blue side showing. Ena's eyes leaked static-like tears and she cried loudly, her voice glitching more every cry. "Ena, I LITERALLY went out to get ice cream like- 7 minutes ago." Moony bluntly stated, standing in front of Ena holding two cones of ice cream. "MOOOONYYY!!" Ena's face turned to her normal state as she jumped up and gave Moony a giant-one sided- hug. Moony groaned, "shut up and take your ice cream you drama queen.", Ena yoinked her ice cream from Moony's hand and bit into it. "What kind of Satan spawn EATS ice cream!?" Moony looked at Ena with disgust. Ena looked up at her and smiled, "me~" she said proudly. "Will you two STOP flirting and come inside?" Merci spoke up, standing outside of her and Merchant's shared museu-i mean home. Moony's face flushed, "WE AREN'T FLIRTING!!" she spat, clenching her fists and glaring at Merci. Merci just giggled and skipped back inside, Moony running after her. Ena is confused, but she went inside anyways. 

~Time Skip~

After multiple rounds of different games, (Ena somehow won almost all of them), they noticed how dark it got out, (yes I made it so there is a day and night.). Ena frowned, "I don't wanna go to bed!!" she whined, crossing her arms and pouting. "Don't be a baby, Ena, it's late and we all know how you get when you don't get enough sleep." Moony sighed, shuffling the games back to the shelf they got them. Merchant yawned, "yeah, I was out of coffee today so i was running purely on sugar... and that stuff makes you tired after a bit." . Shephard started getting up when Merci grabbed her arm, "SLEEPOVER?" she yelled like a goof. Shephard glared at her in disgust, "NO, MERCI. I HAVE A VERY BUSY DAY TOMMOROW AND-" "YOU ALWAYS HAVE BUSY DAYYSSS" Merci cut her off, whining. They bickered back and forth before Merchant stepped in, "listen, whoever wants to stay can stay and the rest can leave, alright?" Merci didn't like this idea, but everyone else nodded. "Oooh! I think a sleepover would be a GREAT idea!" Ena piped up, "of course you would you hollow brat." Moony rolled her eyes. "MOONY! Don't be a prick!" Merci hissed, threatening her with Shephard's staff that she was somehow able to get a hold of. Shephard snatched her staff back, glaring daggers into Merci. Merchant sat there, slowly drifting off. Ena took notice of this. "MERCHANT MY GOOD FRIEND, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH YOU ARE IN DIRE NEED OF SLEEP!" She proudly stated, pointing a finger to the sky. Merci giggled, "Of course he does, having to deal with our shit all the time", to that, Merchant laughed briefly before getting up. "You're right, Ena, I do need sleep. I will be heading to bed now but feel free to stay up longer, just don't make a mess and make sure Ena goes to bed soon." he mumbles out, heading towards the hallway to his bedroom, before walking down it he turns, "oh, and, if you make a mess, I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU, except for Ena." he glares at everyone (except for Ena) and turns, walking to his room. "oooooh~ sassy~" Merci giggles, looking at everyone excitedly. "Ok, who's staying!?" she claps her puppets together. Shephard looks at everyone, who is looking at her. She sighs loudly, "alright, FINE. But I DESERVE Turrón's during this!" she huffs, sitting back down. "DEAL!" Merci sings, throwing cards on the table. "Now, WHO'S WILLING TO MAKE A BET!?'.

~Time Skip~

Overtime Ena could feel her eyes getting increasingly more heavy as time went on, and she unconsciously laid her head on Shephard's shoulder, having her being the closest to her. Merci noticed this immediately. "OOOOH~ SHEPHARD~" she cooed, putting one of her puppets to her lips, she smirked. Shephard sighed and looked to her shoulder, seeing a peaceful Ena sleeping. "Shut up, I'm only doing this because she needs sleep." her face flushes and she averts her eyes from Merci's. Merci snickered, "surree ok softy~" she turned her attention back to the game and started speaking about it again. The game continued, but Shephard wasn't really listening, her attention was drawn to sleeping Ena, and her condition. Though she didn't like to admit it, she really did enjoy spending time with her... companions. And seeing Ena in such a peaceful mood instead of a distressed, pained one, makes her surprisingly... happy. While nobody was paying attention, Shephard reached up with the arm Ena was laying on and proceeded to pat her head. Why was she enjoying this? It wasn't a crush-like feeling, but it was...nice. She felt almost like a mother or a bigger sister, protecting Ena. Even though she tells Ena off all the time and insults her, she really doesn't mean that, and she hopes that maybe, she could get closer to her... to all of them. Shephard smiles softly at the idea and turns her attention back to the board, while she unconsciously strokes and plays with the top of Ena's head. When it's time for bed, Moony and Merci set up sleeping bags while Shephard lays on a bunch of blankets that were nearby, Ena by her side the entire time. And that is how they slept, Merci and Moony in sleeping bags while Shephard was protectively holding Ena on a pile of blankets. (non of that was a ship!!)


~Time skip~

Merchant woke up at 6:00AM. An usual time for him to wake up, but he went to bed fairly early. Well, early for him anyways. Merchant got dressed and headed out of his room, making his way down the hallway. He stopped immediately when he saw the sight of how the others slept. He paused... "WHAT THE FUCK??"
