albert awoke suddenly, his vision still blurry after just waking up. he groggily tried to make up his surroundings. after a few seconds, he realized he was in his living room, sitting on the couch.

oh, i guess he forgot he fell asleep in his living room. he blacked out after him and y/n finished the pizza.

speaking of y/n, where were they—
o h.

albert's cheeks flustered up again, as he found y/n asleep in his arms. wow, what an awkward position. they were laying their head on his chest, and their arms resting on his torso as well. his body was laying against the arm of the chair, so y/n's body was on top of his. he could hear their steady breathing, like they were at peace again. albert didn't know what to do in that moment.

'do i wake them up? i don't wanna be rude, but i also have to go and pee, and i don't want to just mess up right now.' he thought, trying to think of a way to not wake up y/n and sneak away to a bathroom. but, it seemed like the only thing to do right now was wake them up. and as much as albert didn't want to, since he thought they looked genuinely adorable, platonically [for now] and he didn't want to be rude and wake them up.

he sighed quietly, before pulling up his right arm and softly shaking y/n, "hey, y/n, wake up."
they didn't wake up. instead, they shuffled, mumbling words to the confused man under them. albert shook them again, a bit more rough this time, "y/n wake up, i gotta do somethin'."

this time, y/n finally woke up. they rose their head up, their arms now at each side of albert's torso. as soon as their vision cleared, they looked down at albert and their face blushed a deep color. they quickly shuffled to the other side of the couch, getting off of albert.

they hid their face, and exclaimed, "oh my goodness, i'm so sorry!" albert chuckled nervously, understanding what a state in panic y/n was currently in, "it's fine, it wasn't your fault."

"buh-but.. it was. iwasontopofyouuU!" y/n panicked, saying the lsat part fairly quickly and somewhat loud, making albert smile in awkwardness. if he was being honest, he didn't mind them laying on him at all. he thought they were comfortable, and if they were comfortable, then that was fine with him.

"i'll... i'll be back, alright? take your time to calm down, and i'll get us some water after." albert said, getting off the couch and walking out of the living room. as soon as he was out of y/n's sight, he pulled his t-shirt over his face, covered it with his hands and screamed into them. he was so tempted to just scream. not in a bad way, but he was just really flustered right now. after he calmed himself down, he went to just go do his business and try to forget about what just happened.

meanwhile with our other main character, y/n was still having trouble calming themself down. and, because aliens have super good hearing, they could hear albert screaming into his t-shirt and hands. they grabbed a pillow and screamed into it, copying albert's coping mechanism. surprisingly, it worked for them. they removed the pillow from their face, slowly and quietly breathing in and out. when they finally calmed down, they tried listening closely to see where albert was currently at in the house.

all they heard was a door closing, so they just shrugged it off. when they confirmed to themself that the coast was  clear, they grabbed their scanner and opened the video from spidey. as they watched, spidey, from the video, continued to explain about love and why certain life-forms feel a certain way.

they had finished the video right before albert finished doing what his body needed him to do. they quickly put the scanner away as soon as albert entered the living room with two cups of glass. he gave y/n one cup, and they took it from him, drinking the water.

"i'm gonna go record a video, so if you need anything, i'll be in my studio. it's upstairs, the second white door on the right." albert said after he had finished his cup of water. y/n nodded, still holding their cup and watching albert leave the room once again.

they felt kind of lonely. then, they remembered what had happened this morning. was it true that it wasn't their fault? or was albert just saying that to make them feel better? they sigh, their head resting on their hand, while their arm rested on their leg.

they remember albert's warmth. his body was just very warm in general, even if sometimes his hand was cold. y/n looked at their hand again, imagining albert's hand on top of theirs. their fingers intertwined and their cold mixed with his warmth making them feel at ease.

they gave a tiny smile, but then snapped out of it. they may be new to these feelings, but that didn't mean it was okay to feel them. they closed their hand immediately, turning it into a fist. their expression from soft to sour. what if he hadn't felt the same? of course he wouldn't.

"you're an entire different life-form. he's a human, and you're an alien. it doesn't mix, it doesn't add up!" y/n spoke to themself, walking around the living room. they held their chin, "what if he thinks i'm weird? he must think i'm already weird. what if he thinks our..friendship, is weird? i did just randomly show up behind his house. what if the captain thinks i'm weird?!" they exclaimed, holding their head in worry.

but, then they calmed down, "but, he makes me feel safe? and so..ugh, it's hard to explain. but, i like hanging out with him?" they stopped walking around, their arms falling at their sides, "but.. who says i can't be weird? why stick by the rules, when i can be myself?"

they sigh, sitting back on the couch and laying down. "i should focus on something else. i should start fixing my ship." they got back up, leading themself to their ship in the backyard.

they looked outside, the sun shining down upon their face. since aliens on their planet have super-strength, they easily picked up their space-ship and set it down on the flat grass, and not just face-planted into the dirt. they brought out their scanner, which they pressed a button and dropped it on the ground, which turned into a platform which brought up a hologram of a guide, who everyone on y/n's planet knew.

"Hello, and welcome to PROTOCOL A4600, also known as Guide to fix your spaceship. Did you suddenly land on a suspicious and weird planet because your space-ship broke down and decided to drop near the closest planet for comfort? Well, lucky for you, here's how to fix it. Press the blue button on the platform. It will give you the supplies that you need for your space-ships fixing." the guide said, and y/n followed.

they pushed the blue button, which did what the guide had said. they grabbed their supplies and got to work. they unscrewed the panel and started to connect cords and slamming their hammer onto some other wires, just because they were useless and were no good for the ship anyways.

over time, both albert and y/n did their own thing. albert recording his trolling videos, and y/n continued to try and fix their ship. sadly for y/n, the ship would need more repairs, since it was damaged very much after the crash landing.
