Matchmaker (!Edmike!)

Part XIV

No one's PoV

It was 5 months later they've had more 'serious' interactions, the night before was one of them. It was 13:45 and Edgar had a match and Mike did too. They both woke up Blah Blah Blah.

After one of Mikes matches he was tired and Lucky, Naib, and Emily were cleaning his room because he wouldn't and they didn't want him in there.

So he went to Edgars room and got some of his boyfriends stuff out that he might want to use when he got back. 'Eh a nap wouldn't hurt, right?' He thought. It hurt a lot.

"MIKE MORTON, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM? AND WHY THE HELL IS ONE OF MICHIKO'S BUTTERFLIES IN THE CORNER OF MY CEILING?" Edgar yelled waking up Mike.

"AAGH!" Mike yelled falling off of the bed taking a blanket with him, "Sorry Eddie I was just getting you some stuff. Like your favorite paints, clean paint water, a blank canvas, and your favorite comfort bear!"

"Awe wait that's actually cute. But WHY are Michiko's butterflies in the corner of my ceiling?" the painter asked. "Wait what?" "Those." Edgar pointed to the upper left-hand corner of this room.

Michiko appeared, "Ah, I was hoping that you wouldn't notice my beauties. I put them there when Mr. Morton was asleep. Would you Guy's like to have some Mango or Sakura Mochi?" the geisha asked the men.

"Heck yeah! I'm in!" Mike said hopping off of the bed. "How about you, Eddie?" Mike asked

"How could I not take up the offer of snacks from someone whose main goal is to kill me? I'll pass." Michiko frowned at his response.

"I never wanted to be here, you know. I didn't have an option as you did. I was sent here after I was murdered by my fiance's da-" "Get OUT of my sight. Now." Edgar said pointing to the door.

"Hey Eddie, just so you know if you need me imma be at the hunter's side of the manor with this lovely young woman," Mike stated.

Edgar said whatever then both Mike and Michiko left, the painter flopped onto his bed got his pillow then screamed.

He picked up the blanket off of the floor, 'it smells like him. I like it.' he thought covering himself in it.

After thinking for a minute he decided to walk to the hunter's side of the manor to meet Mike. There was one problem. He had to get escorted by a hunter, the only hunter that was around there at the time was Robbie.

Knock Knock

"Who is it?" A sweet voice from a merchant said from behind the door, "Someone who really doesn't want to be here." "Come in Edgar, Norton, Aesop, Freddy, Andrew, Vera, Patty, or Naib!"

"Big Brother Eddgar is here!" Memory said running towards him hugging his leg (imma just call little girl memory from now on lmao). "can I borrow him for a sec? I need to get to the hunters side really quick." he asked pointing at Robbie who was carving something into a wooden toy.

"If it's ok with him, but make it QUICK because I was just about to show him my newest toy!" "Got it." with that note he left with Robbie next to him dragging his axe on the floor.

"You can go back to that merchant's room as soon as we cross that doorway. Got it dead-man?" Robbie left after he was excused.

Edgar passed several hunters hitting walls from losing in a ranked match but he paid them no mind and continued on.

"Oh Edgar, fancy seeing you here! What've you been up t-" "shut it, before you talk to me, get rid of all of that blood. Oh wait, that'll be never." he said to the queen next to him. " "Ugh. must you be so rude?" Edgar walked away ignoring her yells.

"Eddie! You're here!" Mike yelled as soon as he saw the ocean blue eyes "Hey, lovely." Edgar replied cracking a small smile.

"We still have some left-over Mochi! Do you want some?" "Fine, I'll have some. But do not think that's why I came over here. I felt lonely soo." "Ok whatever you have to try Michiko's Sakura mochi!"

Mike put three mochi snacks on separate plates, one on each plate and asked which one. Edgar picked the one on the far right, then Mike shoved the one he picked into his mouth.

"That's surprisingly good." "I know right!" the acrobat said grinning like Naib would in his Cheshire Cat outfit.

Edgar's PoV

Seeing Mike grin like that, it makes me happy. This may sound corny but whenever he's truly happy, so am I.

We can read each other like open books, past me would've never thought that I would be dating the guy I've had a crush on since I first came here.

"I'm tired." Mike yawned, "It's 2:29 PM, and you just took a nap." "So what?" he said leaning on me.

"Ugh, Michiko could we take a plate of mochi for the other survivors?" "Oh! Of course! Take as many as you would like!" She replied pushing the plate of mochi toward me after covering it in cling wrap.

"Thank you. I hope you get out of here soon, so you can see Miles again, I know that he misses you." I said smiling before leaving with Mike to his own room.

--------------

We quickly dropped off the mochi at the kitchen

By the time we were at his room, he was back to his normal cheery energetic mood. "So not so tired anymore?" I asked, "I was never tired to begin with! I just wanted some alone time with you."
