You woke up and looked at your phone. Sunday 10:38.

Mr. Gold should still be here, he said he wouldn't leave before 11:45.

There were no new text messages.

You put on sweatpants and a t-shirt under his hoodie and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Skye was sitting at the table, playing on her Nintendo Switch.

"Good morning, Skye, do you know where the boss is?" you asked her right away.

"He has meetings all day, he left like half an hour ago" she replied, not looking up from her game.

"Oh..." you turned on the kettle to make a cup of tea. English breakfast tea.

"He said that you might wanted to decorate your room, so if you want to, I can find Tina and Maya so they can help us" she paused her game and looked up at you.

"I would like you to help me with it, please find them" you smiled softly at her and poured the hot water into a mug you found in the cupboard. The same mug Mr. Gold used the other morning.

"Sure thing y/n" she ran out of the kitchen and down the hall.

You toasted some bread and put Nutella on it and ate it while staring out the large window, occasionally taking a sip of your tea. Where was Mr. Gold and what was he doing?

You hoped he was alright – you didn't want him to be sad or unhappy.

Please let him be happier than last night.

You took a deep breath and inhaled his scent from his hoodie. You got a bit emotional, so you took the hoodie off and threw it across the room out of pure despair. Stupid shirt.

Skye returned with Tina and Maya.

"Good morning, y/n, are you alright?" Tina asked and sat down next to you.

"I'm fine" you muttered while looking at the floor.

"Clearly that's false. Let's go decorate your room and have a nice relaxing day, just the four of us, how would you like that?" she suggested.

"Alright" you muttered low. Maya went over and picked the hoodie up from the floor. She noticed that it was a bit too big for you, and that it smelled like Mr. Gold.

"Is this... his?" Maya asked and glanced at you, turning the hoodie around in her hands. She even smelled it. Dior Sauvage, what a cologne.

"Yes..." you looked to the table and rested your head in your hands. Maya looked at Tina and Skye with wide eyes; they knew something you didn't.

"Why are you looking at each other like that?" you asked confused and looked at them.

"We will tell you later. Let's go get your stuff and decorate your room" Maya said and opened the door. Tina grabbed your hand and walked out of the kitchen with you.

You spent almost all-day redecorating, and at 3pm you took a break and ate lunch in the kitchen.

"Thank you so much, I couldn't have done it without your help" you smiled at the others.

"Of course, that's what friends are for" Maya assured you and drank some water.

"But... about earlier" you glanced at Maya who raised an eyebrow and looked at Tina.

"So... you and the boss are pretty close" Tina began and sat down across from you.

"We're just friends, that's all" you said and took a bite of your sandwich.

"It's obvious y/n, you don't even have to try to hide it. We all know, even Brutus and Meowscles knows" Tina added.

"Knows what exactly?" you asked confused.
