Stay With Me // [Red Guy x Reader]

4

    The room was silent as the four people played the board game together, the sounds of dice clacking together and taps of pieces moving, including quiet mumbles, was the only communication they had between each other during the rounds. Y/N could tell everyone else was kind of bored during the game, and they felt the same during this, so they decided to pull something out from their sleeves to hopefully bring some excitement to everyone else.
    "You guys want to play something else that's better than this?" They'd ask, their eyes flickering between the group as they tried to monitor their reactions and kind of predict their responses.
    "What do you have in mind.?" Red asked, his hands resting flatly on the table in front of him after he moved his piece a few blocks.
    "Depends on what you guys are up to," Y/N replied, Doi quickly speaking up after.
    "I want to do something that is not a board game," he'd pause before continuing, "even if I recommended this."
    "How about...hmm," Y/N would hum to their self before an idea popped up, "hide and seek?"
    This sparked something in Doi as a small, goofy-looking smile appeared on his face. "That sounds like fun." Red agreed to this idea, but Duck didn't feel up to something so "childish" so he decided to stay inside the house and do something else, so the others headed outside and decided to continue without him.

    Inside the forest they decided to play their game, Doi playing as the seeker while Y/N and Red ran away to different areas to hide. The rules to the game was no cheating (obviously), you could change hiding spots, and if you were spotted moving from your spot then it counted as being found since the seeker found you, pretty simple rules.
    Y/N rushed around the trees till they found a bush and dove into it, scratching themself pretty badly but not minding it since they had "the ultimate hiding spot".
    Silence would follow before they heard soft footsteps from someone, so they'd peek out and see Doi wandering around as he admired the outside a bit while looking around, giggling quietly as they knew they wouldn't be found for a long while. Y/N would sit silently and patiently till the yellow seeker gave up.
    Suddenly, the sound of the leaves beside them rustled around as someone climbed into the bush with them.

    "Can't you find your own bush?" Y/N jokingly whispered, Red squishing inside and crouching beside Y/N.
    "W—Well, I panicked when I saw him come around where I was so I came over here," He'd reply, mimicking you by sitting on his knees and his hands resting on his laps.
    "Where did you hide?" Y/N asked.
    "Up a tree."
    "Surprised he didn't see you up those trees."
    "He's not good at looking up," Red would finish before they heard walking come straight towards them, Y/N quickly putting their mouth over his mouth to silence him and staying as silent as he could. This action startled Red before he processed what happened and relaxing himself, but the tense feeling didn't leave due to the game.
    "Sorry, my body just acted." Y/N said, removing their hand from Red's mouth.
    "It's f—fine..." Red responded, seeming unfazed by this, but he quickly noticed something, "you're bleeding."
    "What?" Y/N asked.
    "You're arm—it's bleeding," He'd repeat, pointing to y/N's arm that had a small stream of blood coming down their arm from a small cut that seemed pretty deep. Y/N responding with a faint 'oh'.
    Red's hands reach out a bit but would retract it before pushing it back in to take Y/N's arm and look at the cut, using his hand to gently wipe away the dripping blood and telling them that he'd fix up the cuts once they went inside. Y/N didn't wanting to argue against it since they were embarrassed as hell and wanted to part from the situation since now they were blushing hard from the soft affection from Red so they ran off, getting their self caught by Doi to end the round already and just to make him feel better cause he was looking around for over 10 minutes at that point.

    They'd play for hours until it was dark outside again, which lead to Y/N now sitting on the toilet lip and watching as Red got out a tiny first aid kit with some band aids and alcohol wipes, soon approaching them and crouching in front of them.
    He'd gently wipe the pad on the cuts as Y/N flinched a bit from the cold wipes and the weird feeling it had on the cuts, the whole time they'd watch Red's eyes that focused on each wound he treated. Red would take a hold of his yarn and slightly pull it away to softly blow on the cuts to get the alcohol to dry quicker, Y/N's eyes landed on Red's face as they tried getting a peak of what his face looked like under all that yarn but failed as he dropped his hair back to it's original place before placing the band aids on the cut's that needed it. Y/N smiled slightly at the band aids that was placed on their body, the different solid colored ones and some with colorful decorations like starts and some cool 80's theme made Y/N feel kiddish.
    "Your clothes m—might need cleaned, so you could borrow some of our clothes while these get washed up.." Red said, standing up after being done with his word and Y/N gazing up at him, "I might have some clothes you could use that should fit on you, let me get them real quick and you can wait here,"
    Red walked out of the room and left Y/N alone in the bathroom so they stood up, looking down at their messy clothes that most likely reeked of sweat. Y/N didn't want to put it to the test so they'd wander over to the mirror and look into it. Their hair was messy so they fixed it till it satisfied themself while gazing deeply at themself, noticing every feature of them and silently complimenting and degrading themself in their looks. A single lime green bandaid rested along their jawline to cover up one of their wounds, their finger resting on it gently while gently stroking the slick material and enjoying the smooth plastic on their fingers.

    "Here, this is what I could find from my closet.." Red said, walking back inside the room with the clothes in hand and handing it to Y/N, who thanked him. But before he could leave, Y/N called out to him.
    "Wait," Red turned around before being hugged gently by Y/N, "thank you."
    Silence filled between the two as Red gently hugged them back and silently mumbling, "you're welcome."    They'd part from the hug before Red walked out the room, his hear fluttering a bit as he walked back to the living room to the two others who watched the television together while waiting for Y/N, who changed clothes while blushing in embarrassment for doing that. Yet, they felt good about doing that, and Red appreciated it. A lot.
