"That's- some sappy shit man…" Tommy tucked into himself with a flush on his cheeks.

“Oh uh is it making you feel bad then?”

Tommy looked over in confusion before grumbling, “ Oh jeez fine it- feels...hmm nice now stop lookin’ so sulky”

Mono jumped up from his crouching position with a smile “Okie dokie.”

He looked around the small shack again in mostly boredom. Now that he’d been in it for a while the space was small, and really similar. There was a small bed in the corner, but it looked like it hadn’t been touched for a while. Each side of the place had chests which did nothing but make it feel even smaller. It really highlighted the narrow exit and entrance. He eventually noticed the stare he’d been getting for a while, and looked to his companion curiously.

An idea suddenly sparked in his mind and he turned his attention to the chests. “Hey mister?-”

Tommy looked up from his spot interrupting him. “Mister? I’m not that old you’know. Just call me by name.” He waved his hand along as if it was supposed to prove a point.

Mono stood still scratching his bag slightly. “ You didn’t give me your name, you just got all surprised.” He swayed from side to side in boredom.

“Pfttt- well I obviously knew that,” He swatted his hands in a rush, “ANyway it’s Tommy Danger Kraken Innit! Don’t forget it” He spread his hands out dramatically.

“Mmm okay Tommy then- so do you think the chest could fit me?”

“Wha? Why would you want to fit in a chest-” His eyebrows crumpled in confusion.

“It looks like a fun place to hide. That’s all!”

He headed over to the closest chest. It didn’t take him long to open it, and he was met with a sparsely filled chest.

“You really gonna fit in there?” Tommy hovered curiously, for some reason he looked sick. “Actually- what even spurred this on man?”

“I’m curiouuus Tommy-” He gasped in excitement, “Wait do you wanna come in too?”

Tommy tensed before relaxing, “ Don’t really feel like killin’ my back man…” He added on as an afterthought, " Plus what makes you think I can even fit?"

Mono shrugged “ Friends do things together, so I thought I'd ask.." He started to climb in nonchalantly, " It's still fun alone though."

"Huh.."

Tommy watched as he jumped headfirst in, he debated telling him not to go headfirst, but he figured he wouldn’t listen. He landed with a soft oof, and his bag crinkled against the sparse wood chunks. He cackled when he heard the soft whine of pain.

He covered his smile with his hand, “Jeez what made you think that was a good idea?”

He flipped himself around from his fallen position, and pulled his bag back into place. “ It’s nice to hide.” Once he was comfortable in his spot he lowered the top of the chest. Until he could only see out of the tiny crack.

Tommy still had a strange expression on his face. He ruffled his hair anxiously before crouching down to the chests level. The chest closed with a click and he watched curiously. It took a surprising amount of time before there was a tap on the chest. Tommy opened the latch and swung it open.

“You done?” He asked curiously.

Mono slowly slid out of the chest, “ Mhm, It’s a good spot actually.” He stood up and stretched. There was a bounce to his fidgeting, and he looked over to Tommy.
