6.0 Apologies

2nd pov

you sat against the cold floor in boredom, sleepy and hungry. Your hoodie was no longer warm and it was now replaced with cold. you shivered slightly seeing Cashier who was busy playing the UNO card alone at the table.

You stare at him for a moment and walk toward him, courage yourself to speak after very long hours "Uh...hey" you awkwardly wave but he did not care about the greeting instead continuing playing those card

you pursed your lips and nervously looks away, obviously, he did not want to deal with you right now "I uh- sorry for being stubborn I should listen to you" you apologize, expecting him to yell at you for being such a dumb person. He yawn softly and stopped messing with the card as he give you the tired stare, scratching his neck "Yeah, you should be sorry. But whatever we're going to die anyway" he rub his eyes

"Let's just forget about the...earlier and play card with me, how was that?" he tries to change the topic. He seems not to want to make another fight between you two and decided to brush it off, accept this stupid fate "Yeah, sure" you sit near the empty soda, looking at the card his holding you have no idea how to play that thing...

"I don't know how to play...this" you bit your lower lip in ashamed which he notice immediately "There's no need to feel ashamed after all not everyone knows how to play it" he tries to lighten the mood. He begins to teach you how to play, colours, and the rules

it was confusing at first but you slowly learn it, the half time you keep breaking the rules and making mistakes but the Cashier keeps correcting you. Your heart pounded a bit, just a bit when both of your hands connect. His fingers curl into yours to keep the card falling

"There, I guess you understand now?" He questioned, setting the card down "Yeah, a bit but hopefully, I remember the instructions" you nodded

"Good, let's started," he said, beginning the game.

Hours have passed by, and a loud growling coming from your stomach which you immediately rub in embarrassment. Seriously? In front of him? He raised his eyebrows "You're hungry?" He arranged the card back into the tiny box after winning the third time

"No" you smiled innocently till another rumbling sound under your stomach, you flustered more. The cashier only shakes his head and walks away from the table, he moves to the cabinet and shuffles something inside. When finally found it he pull out a can of...beans

"This is the only warm food I have. Oh, that cabinet is uh...cold-proof yeah, cool, right? Sorry if you hate beans" he gives the beans that you assume it called Heinz Beans

You nodded and accept it, not having any choice but to eat what it have. You were confused at how even the cabinet was cold-proof, never heard before but awesome for you "Thanks" you smiled

"Don't mention it, don't waste though" he continued and eating them as well. While the both of you silently enjoy the breakfast you can't help but still feel guilt earlier...

Peeking at Cashier who is buying the beans, he was too focused on digging deeper into it.

He looks so exhausted and unhappy... He works hard and yet I ruined his night day, now we're going to die. All his hard work is a failure because of me...

You never admit to feeling guilty or wrong but now you were much disappointed in yourself. Creating a developing friendship with him is under process yet you destroyed it and everything going to restart to where both of you never were friends-

"You okay? What with that long face?" He munching slowly forcing himself to swallow it all, guess he dislikes beans "Oh, nothing just uh thinking" you force yourself to laugh but that didn't work on him, he narrows his eyes knowing exactly you not feeling okay at all

"Heh, I may be a Cashier but I'm not THAT dumb. Tell me what's on your mind?" He throws the can away, heading beside you

You wanted to scoot away but he rapidly grab your wrist and pulled you near to him, a serious expression written on his face "Talk, now."

There is the Cashier you know, demanding and impatient...

You sigh, softly pull away from his grip "I still feel guilty about what I just did" you mumble which is enough to make him heard. The cashier blinked a couple of times giving you a soft look that he had never done it before...it was unusual and makes you terrified. But deep down you feel warm?

He didn't know how to reply, his mouth open and close like a fish like he was lost for words "I-"

Squeak~

The both of you jumped in surprise when hearing the door making sounds, glancing at it, there was no other than Player who looks seemingly confused for a few seconds. Wondering why the two of you were in here

"Why are you here?" He hands signs "We got trapped" Cashier shortly said as you quickly run to him "Thanks gosh you here, I thought it goo g to end" you laughed and hugged Player

The Player smiled "Glad I open this door, I've been searching for you everywhere with your boyfriend"

You coughed harshly, caught off guard by what he just said "What? No-No we're just friends, Player. Nothing much" you punch him lightly on his arm as he sends you a huge grin

"Didn't you got grounded from leaving the house?"

"I was sneaking, just worried about you"

"aww"

Cashier walks past both of you and looks at the clock that was now five in the morning. The mug that you drink was now empty "How long we've been there?" You asked

"We spend hours that's all" He throw the mug into the trash and disappeared into the unknown "Okay, out. I've enough of this shit, I want to rest" he sigh pushing both of you out

"Hey! You didn't say Thank you to Player he's the one who save us!" You huffed and refused to exit the door. Cashier rolled his eyes "K, thanks. Now out"

He pushed you and Player out and slam the door shut, watching him tiredly rest against his usual spot. When he saw both of you still standing outside he shoo both of you like a dog "Rude" Player huffed and walk away "Let's go y/n"

"Wait, I need to talk with him" you quickly enter the store which Player makes the sounds of annoyance

"What- I told you to go home. No more hanging out" he paused when you shush him "Look I didn't finish talking just now" you sigh

"I just wanted to say sorry for well...you know? I don't mean to ruin your night-" He closed his mouth from speaking further, his exhausted breath sighing softly "You were so annoying..." Your shoulder dropped

"I accept the apology. I'm sorry for screaming at you. I'm just glad we're out" he smiled lazily "you should get rest too, we can talk again later" he lightly pat your shoulder

"Now, go. I'm tired" you smiled in relief "I'll come back later"

"Sure" he nodded
