I'm back !! Sorry for not posting more !! Here is a long chapter with plot and stuff 👀🔥
Thanks for all your support ! ♡♡

Knife's POV - It is now 4:30 in the morning. The TV is always on but I don't pay attention to it. I look down to see the golden object asleep in my arms. I smile slightly. Seeing him like that is so special. I still remember how others were about him.
Especially Pickle... As soon as he found out he would be at the hotel with me, he made a big scene about it. I'm glad they get along now. Pickle made an effort and Trophy really changed for something better...
-
I take the remote and turn off the TV. I pay attention and gently lift Trophy.
I go up, carrying him in my arms. I can't risk waking Tissues...
So I head to my room. I gently lay the gold jock on my bed.
Luckily he didn't wake up.
I tuck it in and lay down next to him. Even with so little light, he still shines so much...
Eh eh.
I laugh softly then close my eyes. I think back to what I said to him in the living room. I wonder what he will tell me tomorrow... It was a very special moment that we both experienced... Did I go too far? I should have just kissed him maybe? He wouldn't have felt so bad... I was between two feelings, and it bothered me. On the one hand I was satisfied to have been able to confess my feelings to him, and to have shared such an intense and intimate moment with him. On the other...It was maybe too much all at once, and I'm afraid it might ruin our relationship.
I'll talk to Pickle about it tomorrow.
No.
I can't, Trophy doesn't want to let this be known!
Especially with Fan still lurking around him, I don't want this to end up on his blog either...
Above all, I will first have to talk to him.
I smile as I watch Trophy sleeping peacefully, then close my eyes.
-
Knife's POV I open my eyes and yawn. When my vision became less blurry, I saw a golden shape next to me.
I jump.
Trophy.
Of course, I was the one who brought him to my room last night. He is still sleeping peacefully.
It's 7:56 in the morning. I better let him sleep again.
Me too, sleeping more wouldn't hurt me... I close my eyes and move closer to him when there's a knock on the door.
"Knife? You up?"
It's Pickle!
Why does he have to be up this early?!
I get up in silence and hurry to open the door.
"Hey dude, what's up?"
"Shhh!" Pickle looks at me curiously "What?"
"Oh..hum.nothing. I just don't want you to wake up the others!"
"Everyone's is probably up already don't worry."
He told me smiling.
"Oj is going to make an announcement to us, it's 'important' apparently."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Pickle turns and begins to go downstairs.
"So man, are you coming?"
"Y-yes I'm coming! 5 minutes!"
Luckily he didn't see Trophy...
I come back and walk towards him. "Trophy? Wake up." He sleeps really well, it hurts my heart to wake him up.
I shake him a little and he starts to move. "Um..W-what?" He rubs his eyes and gets up.
"What is-Knife? What are you doing in my room?"
"Well i'm not really in your room.."
He then looks around.
"Wait! This is not my room. Where am i?" "You're in my room."
"W-why?"
"You fell asleep in my arms last night, I just picked you up so you could sleep." I say stammering.
"Oh thank you." He said with a nervous smile.
"Oh! Oj has an announcement to make, we have to get off."
"O-okay, no problem." He got up afterwards.
I didn't know what to do, should I go down first? Or let him get off first? Or could we go down together? I was nervous and it showed.
"Knife? Are you okay? Are you weird?" "Yeah! I'm fine...So you wanna go out first? Or..." I said embarrassed.
"Oh yeah, right. I'm in your room..." He also said embarrassed.
We both started to blush.
"Well, i'll go first and you after, okay?" Ended up saying Trophy.
"Yeah! Okay." I open the door, being careful that no one is around. I waved at Trophy and he left.
"I'll...see you downstairs." He told me with a smile.
"Yes yes, we'll see you downstairs." I say with a smile.
-
Trophy's POV
I waved at Knife then went down the stairs. His confession from yesterday was still in my head, I didn't know what to do. Does he want us to go out together?
Not impossible.
Or...maybe?
I arrive towards the living room where some residents of the hotel are already. Balloon, Mic, Pickle, Paper obviously and... Cheesy.
I jump a little when I see him.
Our previous rooftop discussion flashed through my head.
I regret what I told him...
The evening with Knife made me take another look at myself.
I need to talk to him. I walk forward but OJ appears at the same time.
-
"Hello everyone, it looks like there aren't many people up at the moment... However you are already there so I will make my announcement anyway.
I decided to make a change in the rooms , which means expanding, and changing what needs to be changed, the people whose rooms will be affected will have to sleep with other residents of the hotel, I will make an appeal to those concerned, and you will come to my office, thank you for listening to me."
-
Then Oj turned back to Paper.
I didn't really care about this change.
As long as I had my things, a bed and peace, it was fine.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Cheesy in the distance near the couch.
My chance to talk to him!
I started to walk quickly in his direction. "Cheesy!" I said
He turned around and jumped a bit.
"Oh! Hi Trophy...Sorry I'm in the way, I'll move..."
He pushed himself aside and started walking away.
"No! Wait! I want to talk to you." I say catch him a hand on his shoulder.
He looked at me confused.
"I wanted to apologize for the last time, I shouldn't have told you that..." I say the feeling of guilt growing inside me.
"Wait, Trophy, um..there are a lot of people here, you might wanna talk in private." He said whispering so the others wouldn't hear.
"No its okay, I don't care, I just want you to know that I'm sorry and that you matter to me, I regret telling you this and it won't happen again." Cheesy looked at me, almost speechless.
Then he decided to speak. "Wow..thanks Trophy, that's really nice to say to me!" A slight smile crept onto his face.
"No worries, it was important to me." I said turning around waving goodbye. I turned around to go back to my room.
-
Cheesy's POV
Trophy waved goodbye and went back upstairs.
The others around look at him with a look of shock and confusion.
"What did you say to him to make him apologies??" Mic asked me
"Nothing at all, I haven't seen him since yesterday."
"Wow, I really didn't expect to see Trophy apologizing and in front of people"
"Yeah, he really changed..." I said with a smile on my face.
I really felt better, the words of Trophy were like gold to me.
(Haha! Get it?)
-
Trophy's POV
I was gonna go back upstairs but Oj appeared from his office door.
"Trophy, come and join me please." Everyone turned around including me. Then Oj motioned for me to come with his hand.
"Haha! You're in trouble!"
Yang whispered to me with a sneer.
I give him a face that he sends me back.
I walk over to Oj's office.
I open the door already between yawned and go into the office.
Oj was sitting at his table with various papers and his computer.
"Um..Oj?"
"Ah! Trophy great! Come in."
I go in in hesitantly.
"So, as you know, changes are going to be made to various rooms in the hotel, and this affects yours as well..."
"Oh."
"I know that must not make you very happy...But I saw your behavior with Cheesy and the others, how you got along with them, and I must admit that I am pleasantly surprised! You have seems to have changed, and so I have made the decision to allow you to choose your roomate during the upcoming changes."
Oj told me with a warm smile.
I was quite happy that he told me that even though I had no idea who I could choose.
"Oh okay, thank you."
"No problem! I can't talk to you any longer, I have to take care of paperwork...as soon as you've made your choice, come back to me."
He Then took some papers and started to read them.
I turned around, then left the office, closing the door. There were more people in the living room. I was tired and all this noise was unpleasant...
"This is great news isn't it Trophy?"
"Uh?" Lightbulb was next to me, smiling like nothing.
"Oh, uh, yeah, I guess."
"I wish Oj would have let me chose my roomate, I don't know why he won't let me." Lightbulb was pretty irresponsible, I wasn't really surprised that Oj wouldn't allow her to make that kind of choice, but Lightbulb is pretty harmless, I don't see why he worries so much.
"Yeah, I don't know..." I chuckled softly. "Who are you gonna choose?" Lightbulb asked me.
"I don't know, I don't think anyone would like to be my partner anyway."
"Aww don't say that, I bet everyone wants to be your room buddy." Lightbulb told me with a comforting smile.
"He...Thanks, i'll see, i doesn't really matter anyway."
At the same time Knife arrived.
We made eye contact, then turned our heads, both of us embarrassed.
"Hi Knife..."
"Hi Trophy..."
This was akward.
"I...better get going, see you all."
I say as I walk to go upstairs.
"Okay ! And don't forget to tell me who will be your new room buddy !"
I ear Lightbulb say in my back.
I wave goodbye with a smile.
-
Knife's POV
I realise Lightbulb sentence.
"New room buddy ?"
"Yeah, Oj told Trophy he could choose his new roomate, so i'm waiting to see who Trophy will choose."
I then quickly go upstairs.
This is great, this could be an opportunity for me to get close to Trophy!
I smile as I walk.
I'm really excited to ask him.
-
Trophy's POV
I was walking back to my room when Cheesy got in my way.
"Hey Trophy !"
"Oh hi again, what are you doing ?"
"Oh just writing news jokes, and sketches, you know ?" Cheesy say to me his hand behind his back.
"Would you like to ear some?"
Cheesy asked me embarrassed but still with a smile.
"Yeah,why not." I replied to him with a smile.
"Really?! Okay! Great!" Cheesy replied with stars in his eyes.
He then started telling some of his jokes.
-
Knife POV
I finally arrived at the end of the long corridor that leads to the different rooms.
I saw Trophy standing in the hallway in front of me.
Finally, I had managed to catch up with him.
But as I slowly moved forward, I saw that Cheesy was there too.
It sounded like they were...talking?
Trophy seems to laugh a lot at Cheesy's words.
A laugh, not mocking, but friendly.
I could feel a wave of jealousy growing inside me.
I frowned and gritted my teeth.
I started to accelerate towards Trophy. "Sorry Cheesy, I need to talk to Trophy, now." I said cutting off their conversation. "Oh. Okay, um...see you later Troph." Said Cheesy.
My anger only grew when I heard the nickname Cheesy had given Trophy. I grabbed Trophy's hand, leading him to his room, slamming the door.
"Hey! Easy! What's going on?" Said Trophy letting go.
My anger went down at the sound of his voice. I was a little disappointed not to hold his hand anymore...
"Yeah, um..." Acting like that, had made me forget what I wanted to say to him. "Um...Oh yeah, its about...you know...last night."
"Oh, yeah..." Trophy replied. His face had become more orange with a slight red streak.
Mine became the same after realizing that he was blushing.
I couldn't stop looking at him.
The room was dark, as the curtains on the windows weren't completely open, yet the gold of his skin was still so bright.
"What do you want to talk about exactly?" I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Well, I wanted to know what you thought about it?" That wasn't really what I wanted to ask him but I was too embarrassed to bring up the subject of a relationship and such yet.
"It was, okay, i mean, you were very...soft and it was pleasing."
His words relieved me.
I was worried about losing him even as a friend and yet I hadn't even thought about it now.
"So...Its cool between us?"
"Yeah, it is."
I breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
"Is that all you wanted to tell me?"
"No! I mean...Yes but..."
'Yeah?"
I don't know why I was so embarrassed.
"I wanted to ask you if-"
*knock knock*
At the same time someone knocked on the door.
"Uh...Trophy? Is everything okay in here?" It was Tissues.
"Oh! Yeah! Don't worry!" Trophy answered quickly.
He approached to open the door.
"Do you want to enter?" Tissues was about to answer then looked at me and froze.
"Hmm..."
"It's okay, well leave, you can go in." Trophy retreated.
I had not yet finished talking but we had no choice but to go out.
"We'll talk later." Trophy tells me.
I nodded, a little disappointed.
I got out and walked down the hallway, heading downstairs.
"Hey, wait for me." I turned to find that Trophy had followed me.
"Oh, um..Do you need anything?"
"You wanted to talk to me, we can go outside if you want?" A smile crept onto my face.
"Yeah okay! Sure!" I caught myself on my sentence, I was too excited.
We got downstairs and walked out the Kitchen's back door.
I didn't really want people to see us.
We found ourselves behind the hotel, in the shadow of the building.
"So? What is it?" The golden object in front of me asked with a small smile.
I didn't want to be ridiculous in front of him, he had to be comfortable and relaxed. I turned my head, placing my hand against the wall, facing him.
Trophy really didn't expect this and started to blush.
His eyes swirled, looking at me, then the floor, then back to me.
His face was now a soft orange.
His arms stuck long against him.
Seeing him like that made me want to kiss him. I then approached him gently. He shivered looking me straight in the eye. I put his hand against my face.
Our eyes plunged into each other.
He closed his and I did the same.
I approached, pressing his hand against my face.
"Ow!!" Trophy withdrew his hand quickly.
I opened my eyes again to see he was bleeding.
What morons! I had pressed his palm against my blade without even realizing it!!
I panicked.
He held his hand against him, blood dripping from his arm.
"I-I'm sorry! Are you okay??" I took his hand gently to see.
The cut was deep and I had blood on me now.
I broke into a sweat, Trophy moaning softly in pain.
I put my hands to my face, thinking of where the med kit was in the hotel.
"Ow! Carefull! You're squeezing my hand!" Tells me Trophy.
He withdrew his hand pressing it against him.
"I'm sorry! Let's get inside! I"ll get the kit and fix you hand!" He nodded and I opened the door, walking in with him.
I turned to close the door then heard a scream behind me. Balloon was there, Soap, and Yin included.
"It's okay! Its not what it looks like!" Said Trophy raising his hands to calm them down.
The blood then flowing from his hand, to the ground.
Soap screaming again at this. Then she turns around and runned.
"Oj!! Knife is trying to kill Trophy!!" I was shocked to hear that, but not surprised when I realized that I was covered in blood, including my face, and above all that I wasn't injured unlike Trophy.
I heard several gasps and questions before other residents came to join us in the kitchen in turn.
Yin grabbed Trophy making him quickly move away from me.
"Oh my god! Trophy! Are you Okay? You're bleeding!" I walked forward still worried about the injury.
"Knife! Calm down! Stay here! Let's talk okay!" Balloon ranted in panic, stepping in front of me, slowly backing away.
"I just want to see him! I swear! I didn't hurt him!" My words were useless, because Balloon's attitude remained the same.
-
Trophy's POV
"Its okay Trophy, Knife won't hurt you anymore!" Told me yin
"No no no! He didn't hurt me! Really! We were just talking!"
"There's no need to lie Trophy, you're safe here."
"But I'm not! Really I-" I cut off my sentence when I saw that everyone was scared in the kitchen.
And I risked what he was going to do to Knife.
-
Knife POV
Baseball was now near the kitchen, comforting Balloon. No one dared approach me despite my explanations. "You really want far man, I was not seeing you like that..." Yang said, looking almost worried.
"I didn't mean to!! I wear!" I say stepping forward.
I was still angry that no one listened to me or believed me.
"Okay! Okay knife! Let's not fight okay!" Baseball said advancing worriedly in front of me. I could hear the others whispering behind.
"Should we...call the police?"
Call the police?? But, I'm innocent! It was an accident!!
I was going to speak before hearing Trophy react.
"Wow wow wow! No! No one is gonna call the police!" He then pushed everyone to go in and approached me. "
"Knife and I were just talking! I just felt and I grabbed Knife's sharp side when he went to help me get up, thats all!" He said in an angry tone, still holding his hand, blood spilling from it slowly.
I felt bad to have Trophy who had to defend me, it must have been a sweet moment between us 2 and I ruined everything...
Everyone started to whisper and gradually calmed down.
Then we saw Soap come running back with a healing kid in his hands.
"Trophy give me your hand I'll heal it!" Trophy approached Soap and held his hand.
"Go clean yourself Knife, i'll take care of you Trophy." She said to me.
I exited the kitchen, heading for the bathroom.
After a while cleaning myself up, I went out to join Soap.
She was on a table at the back of the living room, surrounded by Cheesy, Balloon and Trophy of course.
I slowly walked towards them.
Balloon gave me a confused look.
I don't really know why but all I cared right now was Trophy.
I sat down next to him and he smiled at me slowly, he seemed tired...
"Alright Trophy its over, but be carefull." She said while gently moving his hand.
"Thank you Soap."
"You're welcome, I made sure it is well disinfected, no more germs, no more microbes!"
She said emphatically. Soap took his equipment then left, Balloon did the same.
We were finally alone.
"You okay Trophy? You have a big scar on your hand now..."
I turned my head to see Cheesy.
I had forgotten about him.
"I'll be fine, really, its okay."
"I'm just worried about you..." Cheesy added.
I could feel the jealousy rising inside me again.
I waited until Cheesy and Trophy had finished their discussion to speak.
"Hey Trophy, can I talk to you for a moment?" Trophy turned on me.
"Yeah sure." Cheesy frowned, turning his gaze to me.
"We were already talking..." He commented I frown myself.
"Oh sorry Cheesy, I tho we were finished." Trophy added turning to him.
Why does he have to apologies for?!
They were done talking!
"It's okay don't worry, its not your fault." Cheesy added smiling at Trophy then giving me a cold look.
I did the same.
"I'll talk with Knife, we'll see each other later." Trophy told him nicely.
"Count on me." Said Cheesy, while leaving me glaring.
FINALLY.
We were alone!
"So, what is it?"
"I'm just so so sorry for what happened today, I hurt you, ruined literally everything!" I say lowering my head. Trophy chuckled a little.
"No its nothing, I'll survive a simple cut, I'm happy that in the end everything ended well..." He said with a sigh of relief. We looked at each other and smiled.
The urge to talk was gone, and I was fine, there, just with him...
Even if I feel that someone is watching us... I turn my head slightly to see Cheesy staring at me.
I can't tell what feelings were on his face, confusion? Anger ? Frustrated?
I kinda didn't care... I turned back to Trophy and pulled his chair closer to mine, he laughed and started talking to me.
I glance lightly at Cheesy, he doesn't seem happy to see us together, so close. And even if it seems mean...
I can't help but be satisfied.
