||OLD|| -FINGER PAINTINGS- (An II2 Story)

10: Isn't it lovely?

Fan woke up, and sat up. He looked around and realized he was still in Test Tube's room, but she was nowhere to be seen. He stood up and began to walk but immediately got a sharp pain in his foot, he yelped in pain and fell the the floor.

Blood dripped from the sole of his foot as he winced in pain. He looked at what cut it, and he saw the knife, then remembered he had fallen asleep with it. He took a deep breath and carefully stood up, trying not to apply too much pressure to his wound. He grabbed the knife and tried to walk but immediately lost his balance. He sighed, "Great. I guess I'm stuck here for a while." He muttered. "Atleast I have my— 1 PERCENT??" He panicked. First his foot, then his phone.

He leaned against the wall so that he didn't hurt himself anymore.

A few minutes passed and the door opened, "Fan? Are you awake yet?" Test Tube asked, then she saw him and nearly screamed, "Fan! Are you okay?!" She asked, quickly going to his side and looking at the wound. "I'm fine, don't worry Test Tube, no need to worry." He told her. She looked at him with a disagreeing face, then poked the wound, making him yelp in pain. "Yeah, thats not good. Come on, I'll wrap it up in my lab." She told him, helping him up and making sure he didn't touch the wound. "Don't tell OJ that I set this up in my room, alright?" she said. Fan nodded, then she moved her blinds out of the way and there was a passcode lock. She typed in a specific code and a tube that looked similar to the one with the vending machine. "Watch your step." She told Fan, then helped guide him into the lab. She helped him onto the table, "Stay there." She ordered, "Alright Testy, I won't be going anywhere." He said, grabbing his phone, before immediately putting it away because it was dead.

Test tube wandered around her lab, digging through the drawers and cabinets. "I know I put it somewhere..." she muttered to herself, she then let out a loud, "Aha!" in victory. She took out a roll of bandage wrap, then began to wrap it around Fan's wound. Fan stayed quiet and winced every now and then because of the pressure.

"Does that hurt? Sorry Fan, I'm almost done." Test Tube said. "Its fine, don't worry." Fan shook his hands. "If you say so." she muttered, then cut the wrap so she could leave it in place. "There! I'm done! How does it feel?" She asked carefully. Fan hummed and stood up, "It feels great!" Fan smiled. "Phew, thats good. How did you even get that cut anyways? It wasn't anything that could get infected but it was large." She said. "It was from that knife I brought in to protect myself, I accidentally stepped on it when I woke up." Fan explained. "Jeez, that must have woken you up." Test Tube said, Fan laughed.

"We should head back to the hotel." Test Tube said. "Sure, Come on Test Tube!" Fan said, heading back up to the hotel. "Fan, wait for me!" Test Tube called, she hurried after him. They both made it back up to Test Tube's room. "I beat you!" Fan said happily. "You got a headstart." Test Tube rolled her eyes with a smile. "You should eat breakfast, Fan. You had a pretty eventful morning, the least you could do is eat." Test Tube said. "Yeah, you're right. Lets go then!" Fan said happily. "Oh wait— I need to do something first." Fan said, rushing to a charger and putting his phone on it, carefully putting it in a safe place. "There! Now we can go!" Fan stated, Test Tube laughed quietly, and they headed off to the kitchen together.

~~~~~

Fan had finished his breakfast a while ago, then he could hear a door open. He had hoped it was Lightbulb but he could feel his heart stop beating when he saw who it was.

Paintbrush.

Fan took Test Tube hand and squeezed it tight for comfort, she glanced over at him with a worried look. "Hey Fan! I didn't see you in your bed this morning, where were you?" Paintbrush asked Fan. He took a deep breath in and out, Test Tube carefully intertwined her fingers with his, "I was hearing noises last night so I asked Test Tube if I could sleep in her room." Fan said, it wasn't entirely a lie. It was more of, keeping the truth away from those you can't trust. "Hm, that's weird." Paintbrush muttered. "Well you should go eat Paintbrush me and Test Tube are gonna head back to the room okay bye!" Fan quickly said, then grabbed Test Tube and rushed right back to her room.

"What was that all about?" Test Tube asked. "I don't know! I just locked up, I'm afraid of them, I can't stand to be anywhere near them without the fear of death." Fan poured out, his breathing was unsteady and shaky. Test Tube's gaze softened at him, "Oh Fan..." She mumbled, Fan perked his head up to his name, before immediately being embraced by Test Tube. "Its okay to be afraid." She told him. He hugged her back tightly, his breathing slowed and began to fall back into a steady rhythm. He hadn't even noticed that he was crying. Test Tube comforted him, letting him let out any emotions he had built up. It was healthy to get this type of stuff out.

Fan let go and rubbed his eyes, wiping the tears from his face. He let out small, breathy laughs. "Feel better?" She asked him. He nodded with a small smile, "A lot better." He told her. "Thats good." She told him, holding his face in her hands and kissing the top of his forehead. Fan could feel butterflies in his stomach, a smile grew on his face. Test Tube quickly moved backwards, "Oh my god— Fan I'm so so sorry I wasn't thinking I—" Test Tube tried to apologize but was cut off by a small and quick kiss from Fan. "You don't have to apologize." He told her. She laughed quietly at herself.

"I love you Fan."

"I love you too."
