Lore Inaccurate SMG34!

Chapter 13: Confessions, Again?

Meggy's POV:

What does he mean... "it worked"?

Is this him admitting that he actually likes SMG3? Is this him saying that our plan actually worked? Is this him saying Mario... was RIGHT?

My phone pinged.

It was from Mario, of course, saying, "MEGGY WHAT DID YOU DO????!1111?!!!!! I'M FINDING YOU RN!!!1!!!!! ;-;"

This means I messed up his devious little plan, and he was mad at me. Although, SMG4 was mad at him, so it felt like some sort of evil love triangle.

I then realised SMG4 was looking at me, waiting for me to say something, and this whole time I had just been there, jaw dropped.

"What do you mean, "it worked"?" I asked.

"I- I don't know... I've been denying liking him but I don't think I actually do I'm so-"

But I stopped his sentence halfway through, to hug him.

Then, and there, he broke out into tears.

"I don't know if I want to like him..." he said, sobbing.

"Oh. I'm starting to notice a pattern here..."

"Speaking of patterns... does he actually like me?" he asked, quietly.

I took a pause, and thought what was best to tell him.

"I don't know. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. If you like him, you have to tell him."

"He's been so unwell lately though. That's why I've been denying it. He's not in the right condition for a relationship, I'm going to get let down either way."

For the first time in ages, I heard SMG4 talk about how he truly felt. Instead of everything being about his ill room mate, this is how HE felt.

"I've been hiding it down so much, I haven't even spoken to MYSELF about it. I've just neglected it completely..."

"And now you've told me! You're growing and admitting to yourself! I'm so happy!"

It was at that moment, I started crying too. Small tears that ran down my cheek.

It wasn't of sadness, it was of joy!

I've always hoped for the best for these two, and now, it's coming true. They're going to be happy together.

"No... no... this isn't right. I DON'T like him... This can't suddenly be happening now... I only went out to see Mario."

"You found out something about yourself by the author's lazy writing! This isn't a bad thing, this is a great thing!"

"Okay... maybe it is. Maybe I should suck it up and face it, for my sanity and health."

"That's the spirit, 4!"

After he said that, he had a gleam in his eye, and looked proud and happy of himself! I'm so proud of him!

"But, what now...? What am I going to do...?" he asked, face dropping slowly into a frown.

"Well... you're just going to have to wait until SMG3's better. When he is, maybe you can tell him. But he hasn't got the mental capacity right now."

I knew it would take time, but I'm so worried about 3, and I'm really hoping he recovers really soon.

He's getting a bit better, I know that, but there's something deep down inside him that's still crushing his mentality.

I wish he could understand he was loved...

Wait, that gives me an idea!!!
