SMG3 never liked being touched, so whenever he had to be when filming one of SMG4's dumb videos, SMG4 had to give him something in return. Everyone always thought it was a germ thing since SMG3 is know for being a bit of a clean freak but that wasn't the case. SMG3 hated being touched because he doesn't trust anyone. Everytime he's been touched, he's been hurt, though it was mainly in meme school, it still happened to this day. It's made him more isolated with people and it's actually effecting his friendship with SMG4.
One day, 4 decided to just ask SMG3 about this "No touch policy" he has in place. SMG4 called SMG3 to open a portal so they could talk, it took some convincing but he was able to make 3 open one. SMG4 walked through the portal and was met with 4's grumpy ol' face. "What do you what, scrub?" SMG3 asked, he wasn't in a happy mood. "Not a video if that'll calm you down. I just wanna talk about something 3." SMG4 reassured SMG3. He seemed to relax a bit. "Thank Satan. I was getting sick of having to be thrown. Follow me." SMG3 started walking and soon followed SMG4 but was uncomfortably close to 3 which made him snap a bit. "Back off! I don't need you touching me." SMG3 scolded him. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, I just don't want a knuckles jumping on me like last time, you ass." SMG4 protested. SMG3 just rolled his eyes and kept walking to his "house," which was just a Starbucks runned down.
They stepped in and sat at a random table, SMG3 looked at 4. "Want a drink or snack? This Starbucks is still functional, believe it or not." SMG3 offered. SMG4 eyes widen, he wasn't used to nice gestures from 3. "Uhm yeah, sure. Just a plain French vanilla latte would do..oh extra sugar please! I need that caffeine rush later." SMG4 chuckled at himself but didn't earn that from SMG3 who just snapped and a knuckles appeared out of nowhere which caused SMG4 to move back a bit. "Can you get us a black coffee, usual for me, and a French vanilla latte with extra sugar?" SMG3 asked the knuckles like it was a waiter, the knuckles responded with some weird sounds. "Good boy." SMG3 leaned down and patted the knuckles before it went off. SMG4 was shocked a bit, he knew he was nice to the dead memes but he thought was only for show, he actually does care. "So, what do you wanna talk about?" SMG3 asked, snapping 4 out of thought. "Huh? Oh, yeah. So uhmm..just a question, you have the right to not answer but I'm just concerned for you so that's why I'm asking." SMG4 said kinda frantically,which made SMG3 face palm. "Just ask the question, idiot." SMG3 snapped. "oh yeah yeah so...why don't you like being touched? Is it a germ thing or?" SMG4 asked. SMG3's expression seemed to drop, oh boy.
"Why should I tell you? Probably only asking because you were forced to." SMG3 was upset again, looking away. "No no no..I'm just worried about it." SMG4 tried his best to reassure him. "...bad experiences is the best way to best way to put it? Idk.." SMG3 spoke softly, obviously 4 brought up a sensitive topic. "Ah shit..uhm. wanna, talk about it?" SMG4 offered. "Uhm..well it was mainly bullying in meme school and even now.." SMG3 just turned away completely. Both of them say in silence till the knuckles came back with the drinks. "Ah, thanks lad." SMG3 grabbed the cups and handed SMG4 his drink. SMG4 took his drink. They went silent again and SMG3 had enough of it. "just go now, I'm not sharing anymore with ya." SMG3 asked, opening the portal to the living realm with a snap. SMG4 didn't want to go, he wanted to help but how without seeming weird. "A-actually..could I stay here for the.. night! Yeah uhm..I need some peace and quiet to work on something and the castle has been loud lately, heh.." SMG4 rubbed the back of his neck, he was a horrible liar but SMG3 agreed, only because he needed someone to watch eggdog when he went out.
--------------
After a while, it became dark. SMG4 was playing with eggdog and 3 just returned home. "you didn't reck the place did you?" SMG3 said, smirking after. "Why would I, you'd kick my ass." SMG4 gave him a blank stare, not giving him the reaction he wanted which caused a huff from SMG3. "Whatever whatever. Well I'm heading to bed now, scrub. Join when you want, there's a spare mattress in the room aka the floor." SMG3 chuckled a bit walking away with eggdog whom which he grabbed while they argued. SMG4 scoffed, lucky him to get the floor, yippee. SMG4 worked on his video for a bit before heading to the room anf was met by a sleeping SMG3 cuddling eggdog. That had to be the cutest thing 4 had seen and the perfect blackmailing picture so that's what he did, took a quick picture of SMG3.
After snapping the picture, SMG4 started getting ready to sleep. After getting changed, he heard shuffling coming from 3 and a bark from eggdog. He went over to see what was wrong and oh boy. SMG3 was sweating and moving a bit, obviously distressed by something in his dream ...possibly a nightmare. SMG4 didn't know what to do but he decided to help, so he sat beside 4 and did the only thing that came to mind, he started to rub SMG3's head. This was enough to startle 3 to wake up and look around frantically and soon saw SMG4 with his hand on his head. "the fuck are you doing! Get off!" SMG3 semi-yelled. SMG4 went to move his hand away but then put it back. "No, you need to relax and I wanna help! You need to see not everyone is out to hurt you idiot!" SMG4 scolded 3 and went back to rubbing his head and running his fingers through his hair. SMG3 went to protest but seemed to...relax actually and give in. "If you tell...anyone about this..i-ill kill you." SMG3 spoke softly and blushed, he obviously liked this or just did it to get SMG4 to shut up, SMG4 sided more with the shutting up one. Though what SMG4 didn't know was that SMG3 did enjoy this, especially since SMG3 has had a crush on 4 for a while but always denied it. SMG4 chuckled and nodded his head, he began to mess with SMG3's hair, he was amazed by how soft it was.
Soon SMG3 seemed to be asleep and calm, not sweating nor moving frantically. SMG4 chuckled and went to leave when he was pulled back onto the bed by 3. He felt arms wrap around him and his eyes widen. He looked up to be met with SMG3's face right in front of his. "I didn't say you could leave.." SMG3 spoke, very quiet and obviously really tired though an obvious blush was visible. He laid his head down and seemed to be going back to sleep. SMG4 was still laying there in shock, SMG3 had his arms wrapped around him and he didn't care...wow. This cause SMG4's face to start turning red and lay his head down. He decided to rest his head against SMG3's chest. He could hear 3's heartbeat and it was calming and relaxing, no signs of nervousness or panicking. After a bit, he knew SMG3 was officially asleep by the sound of him snoring. SMG4 went to move away but for some reason didn't, he actually liked being here, it gave him comfort in some odd way so there SMG4 stayed. So he wrapped his arms around SMG3 and and closed his eyes.
"Love you, you big dork...night."
