     Everyone was completely still before Signora yelled out. "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" She panicked as she rushed over towards where you and Xiao were crushed.

     "You're realizing this all now?" Xiao said in irritation. The forced proximity between the two of you made everything so much more worse than it had to be. He was on top of you, in a sort of hugging position. The cherry on top was the way you could feel his breath brush against your neck from time to time.

You tried to ignore it until you looked down to see blood. "Can someone pick this up! He's bleeding a lot!" You shouted in worrisome from how much blood was coming out now as
the now awaken Jean and Lisa tried to pick the shelf up.

     "It's heavier than it looks.. Wait- who's bleeding?!" Lisa shouted, completely worried about the state you both were in.

     "Xiao's bleeding out really bad so please hurry and take this off us"

     "I'm not even bleeding that much"

     "You are. You're in horrible condition, so stop talking."

     "I'm so glad you're okay Y/n!.. and Xiao too I guess." Jean, Rosaria, Lisa And Signora all come together and slowly lifted the shelf off you both.

"HURRY AND CRAWL OUT FAST- THIS IS REALLY HEAVY" Signora panted as she struggled to keep it from collapsing onto the two of you.

You both crawled out and laid flat on the floor. "That was a nightmare.. and it's all because of that dip shit Scaramouche" you groaned. "I should have helped you beat him up that day at the tattoo shop" you said as Xiao stared at the ceiling.

"I should have killed him that day."

"Well! What are you two waiting for! Get up!" You slowly stood up as Xiao tried to but struggled. You took him by the shoulder and helped prop himself up.

"Let's go to Signoras office. There's a first aid kit there." You said to the three as you helped walk the man over to the room. He sat down on Signoras famous big velvet chair as he leaned his head back into it. His forehead was bleeding but you could see blood oozing out from him leg as well.

"Xiao, you're my superhero" Noelle said as she smiled at the man who awkwardly glanced at you and then back at her.

"Um, thank you?"

"I'm so sorry you got hurt." You said as you looked at him but all he could do in return was to look away awkwardly. ".. Oh! You're the winner!" You said as you remembered you needed to give him a prize. "Signora, where's the prize?"

"Umm.. um" she said as she searched her drawers. "Ummm"

"I don't need a prize. I didn't even wear a costume, I have no idea how I even won." He said as he touched his head to check how bad the cut was.

"Oh! Well, that's a relief." Signora said as she laughed.

"Dude, you won cause everyone was ogling at you" Rosaria said as she crossed her arms. Xiao looked at her perplexed as he grimaced.

     "I only came here to be respectful. I wasn't looking forward to winning, or even winning." Noelle and Barbara whispered to each other as they smiled and took the first aid kit off the wall.

They rushed towards the man who stared at them as if they were just causing him more pain. "We're gonna be your doctors!"

You laughed as you patted the girls on the shoulder. "That's cute you two, but he's really injured. So, let's have Jean take a look at his wounds..?"
