Time has gone forward.
Y/N was asleep in their room. Alone.
Obi was on the couch. Huddled in a spare blanket Y/N had and a thick hoodie that belonged to him. He can't sleep, despite the feeling eating him. His covered up hand was annoying him.
It was cold. Very cold.
It was his idea to sleep on the couch but he missed Y/N even though they were just in the other room. He still blamed himself from what happened earlier today.

It was quiet.
Obi closed his eyes.
Desperately trying to sleep, until...

DING

Obi's phone went off.
It was charging but he was curious. He got up quickly and grabbed his phone to see a message under:
9:18PM
Ramya:
Hey, Obi. Are you good? You haven't talked to me after you went home.
Obi thought for a few seconds but he didn't want to lie.
O - I'm not Ramya. I've said some things I didn't want Y/N to hear, I... Messed up.
R - What did you say??
O - I don't want to repeat it.
R - Where are you? At your place or Y/N's?
O - I'm present at Y/N's house. We're sleeping apart tonight after I messed up. It was my idea but I miss them.
R - I'm coming over.
O - You don't have to! It's raining, it's late and theres a match tomorrow. I want you to have enough energy for that. And I'm not sure if you're invited here.
R - I don't care. I've been to their place before, surely I'm invited there. We need to talk Obi. You're not okay.
O - I can't stop you.

The conversation ended there. Obi was actually happy that Ramya was coming over. She's a good friend.
He got up and decided to turn on the AC on heater.
You may be thinking, "if it was really cold, why didn't he turn it on before?" Because the two would be asleep and there wouldn't be a point for it to be on.
He stretched for a bit until he got the urge to check on Y/N. He thought mid stretch, he still felt bad so he didn't know if he should but he just went without thinking. He walked over to their room, opened the door and stared. He saw their sleeping body huddled up in a ball, facing the way where he would be sleeping. Obi walked over to them to look at their face, they were cuddling with the stuffed cat that looks like him, tears were falling from their face and they were shaking from the cold. He planted his hand on the side of their face, to his surprise their hand moved up to be on top of his. Their eyes opened. They were shiny because of tears.
"Sssh. It's okay. It's okay Y/N."
He moved his thumb a little on their cheek to comfort them, also wiping some tears away.
"Try and go back to sleep. I love you." He kissed their forehead before departing, it hurt a little when he left them vulnerable and upset like that.
"Urm. Ramya is coming over soon and I've put the heater on. I'll leave your door open a bit so the heat can reach you."
"Will you come back..?" They spoke softly, Obi almost didn't catch what they said.
He turned back to them. He smiled.
"Of course."
He stood with his hand on the door handle, keeping his eyes on Y/N for a bit. He eventually let go of the door handle and went to the lounge room to wait for Ramya to show up. Obi was stressing a little because she said she was coming over to talk, but what about?
He was shaking his leg up and down, unable to sit still. His thoughts kept racing through his head, it was loud. But everything was broken by the sound of someone knocking on the front door. Obi got up, unlocked the door and opened it. He was greeted by Ramya by obviousness, she was wearing a raincoat and holding an umbrella he was also greeted by... Octane. A sour taste formed in Obis mouth and his face looked foul. Octane looked away, keeping focus on the energy drinks he has with him.
Ramya looked at the two.
"I think it's time for you two to make up. Heh. I don't like the toxicity between you two. You're not the type to keep a grudge on someone Obi, especially on your friends."
Obi thought to himself:
'What is she thinking? This isn't my house! This is Y/N's house, they're in a vulnerable state too. What is Octane tries something?'
Obi sneered. His face changed to a relieved smile.
"Come in. It's nice to see you two."
He opened the door wide for them.
His friends walked inside, he shut the door and locked it.
He had a weary feeling about Y/N, he wasn't sure if they were safe from Octane. He must keep his eyes on him to make sure he doesn't leave his sight. It was stupid but Y/N was nearly SA'd by Octane, so his trust towards him dropped dramatically. But he still considers him a friend.
"Ooh, fancy place you got here mi amigo. Nice and clean."
"Heh, it's not my place." Obi replied calmly.
Octane stopped in his tracks.
"Wait. Then who's is it?"
Everything was quiet until some rushing foot steps could be heard and a door slamming shut.
Obi's face grew sad.
"Y/N's..."
Octane looked down at his robotic feet: "oh..."
Obi shook out of his sadness and asked "are you guys hungry?" with a smile.
Ramya span around fast, her smile stretched wide. "Yes! I've been dying for you to say that! I'm starving!"
He chuckled a little, "what about you Octane?"
He turned to Obi, sort of confused that he's still being kind to him but he said "hell yeah I am!"
Obi looked in the fridge to find out that they don't have much food. "Urm, how do you guys feel about microwave meals? We have butter chicken and other things."
They two said that they'll have that, Obi put one in the microwave and set it for how long it needs.

"I'll be right back" he left to go to see Y/N, well if they're okay. He tried opening their door with his good hand, it wouldn't budge. It was locked. He sighed, he felt guilty. He felt bad because Octane was in their only safe place. He walked back over to his friends and sat on the couch.

FAST FORWARD 3 HOURS

Ramya and Octavio were standing just outside of the front door to Y/N's house. The two are just about to go home.

"Look Obi. All I'm trying to say is don't overdo yourself. After the encounter with Catalyst you seem off. I'm sure you two will get along soon enough and put your differences aside. Look after yourself and Y/N, they really need you and you really need them."

"I'm glad we were able to have this talk friends, finally being able to get the bottled emotions up. I even surprised Silva had things to say."

"I know. Also I didn't know the beef with Boreas was actually a big deal to you. I mean you didn't cause the destruction of the moon."

"Yes..
I will see you guys later. Stay safe and goodnight."

The three said goodnight to each other, Ramya and Octavio started walking down the street. Obi went back inside to the warmth and locked the front door. He remembered Y/N. He was curious if their door was unlocked.
He walked over and jiggled the handle. It opened.
He saw their body lying comfortably. Quietly as he could, Obi went to the bed and got in, he faced Y/N. He decided to wrap his arms around them and bring them closer to him, this awoke them.
"Obi...?"
"Sssh, Y/N it's just me here. It's only me."
"Is Octane gone?"
"Yes he just left. Oh, I missed you so much my love."
"I missed you too."
He pat their head a little before kissing their forehead. It took a while but they fell asleep with each other in their arms.

Forgive and forget.
