It was a long day of school and work for Y/N. It was like any other regular day, make themselves breakfast, take a shower, go to school for 8 hours, go to work at a Market Basket, then drive home, see another note that your parents would be staying longer on vacation, chill for a bit, then head back to sleep.

But one day, Y/N found themselves in a very... very... interesting interaction one day...

You were at work, being a cashier, it was very normal, very boring, after your shift, you drove yourself home, checked the mail, and saw another note that your parents would be staying another week at vacation. "Of course..." you mumbled to yourself. You heard a doorbell, and you went over to it. You open the door, and nothing's there, except for 3 children running from your door. "Dingdong ditchers again..." you mumbled to yourself. You close your door, and head over to your room.

You open the door, and you see someone, looking about your age, laying on your bed, scrolling through your phone, eating a bag of chips, with a knife by their side. They were wearing a green shirt with a big yellow stripe on it, light beige shorts, and they had very short, brown hair. You stop, dead in your tracks, opened your door all the way. You look... very surprised to say the least.

"Oh, hey." The person said, not even looking at you. "You also live here?"

"Wha- who are you??" You said, still very confused.

"Oh, the name's Chara. Determined to meet you." The person calling themselves "Chara" said, still not looking at you, and eating another chip.

"Wh- i- I am going to call the police." You said.

"Nah, don't try." Chara said, reaching for their knife.

"How did you even get in??" You said.

"Window." Chara says, grabbing their knife, finally looking at you.

"Okay... any reason you... came here-"

Before you could finish you sentence, Chara seemingly appears infront of you, only a whole foot away, keeping their knife very close to your chin.

"Because... why not?" Chara said, having a small confident smirk on their face.

"B-Because... maybe it's b-breaking and e-entering?" You sound very nervous saying that, sounding a bit scared for your life, as your eyes pan down to Chara's knife which is practically poking your chin now.

"Well, maybe you and I could make a small deal..." Chara said, their confident smirk getting a small bit bigger.

You nod.

"How about... you and I become partners... and you never tell anyone about this?" Chara said, backing their knife away slightly from your now sweating chin.

"O-Okay... what do you mean by "partner?"" You asked, Chara backing away from you entirely.

"Heh... you'll see." Chara said, turning their head at you slightly.

"Heh... so does that mean you'll be staying in what's practically my apartment?

"Yeah, basically." Chara answered.

"Honestly..." You take a good look at Chara. "I don't mind that..." You say.

"Huh wha... okay..." Chara said, turning back at you entirely, looking confused.

"Wh- I mean- I mean-" You stuttered, sweating a bit.

"Honestly, whatever you meant, if you don't mind me staying here, then I'm fine with you." Chara said, taking a few steps towards you.

"Why are they so hot oh my god" You said in your mind, accidentally mumbling it under your breath. Chara looks at you, seeming a bit concerned.

"...What?" Chara said aloud, looking a lot more confused.

"N-Nothing! Nothing at all!" You said, chuckling a bit, sweating a lot more.

"...Y'know I didn't mean partners in that way, right?" Chara said, looking a lot more confused.

"W-You could hear me?" You said, panicking a bit.

"...Yea, I always could. You think I'm hot?" Chara said, taking one more step towards you.

"N-Can you read minds?" You said, panicking a lot more.

"No, you... y'know what, nevermind, we'll touch on this topic another time." Chara said.

"...Maybeyoucouldtouchsomethingelse-"

"What?" Chara said.

"What?" You say.

"...I'm going to ignore that." Chara said, taking one more step towards you, basically inches away from you.

"Ha... w-why are you getting so close??" You say, sweating a lot more.

"For this..." Chara said getting a lot closer to your face... before grabbing you by the neck, and throwing you onto your bed, pointing their knife at you.

"If you think I'm seriously going to give you a kiss, you should go pack your bags, and go somewhere else. I'm not interested in that sort of shit." Chara said, seeming very menacing.

You start shaking, sweating a lot more. "O-Okay... but you know, t-there's only one bed this entire apartment... at least the only bed in an unlocked room..." You say. "A-And it's getting very d-dark..."

"I'm sleeping on the floor." Chara says, getting down, and laying on your room's rug.

"Oh... okay..." You say, sounding a bit disappointed.

Chara sets their knife down, rolling over, and they start dozing off to sleep, while you're still awake, just kinda watching them sleep, not in a weird way, there's literally nothing else to do other than whatever on your phone.

"...Say, they look kinda cute sleeping..." You mumble, quiet enough for Chara not to hear, as you hear their soft breathing. With nothing to do, you scroll through whatever on your phone for a solid 30 minutes, before eventually yawning, and dozing off to sleep yourself.
