"Where are were you two?!" Velvet stomps her foot like an angered toddler. You just then realized you had been gone for almost 4 hours and neither of you told Velvet. "I took her shopping." Veneer saved your ass. If she found out it was your idea, you probably wouldn't have a job anymore.

As if on cue, the guards walked in...with the twenty-three different bags of clothes. "Where should these go, sir?" They turned attentively to Veneer, as if they weren't your clothes. But, you're pretty sure Veneer bought himself some clothes, too. "They'll go fine in my room," he responded, this must be a usual routine because they knew exactly where Veneer's room is. Seeing them go to the room DIRECTLY beside yours made you rethink a few things. Veneer's room is right next to mine??? It might prove to be helpful information to have.

You shrug it off and focus your attention on the pouting Velvet. "You could've told me you took her! I want to spend time with her, too!" Velvet grabbed your side like Veneer had many times that day. She pushed your body against her and laid her head on top of yours to continue pouting to her brother, who at this point was only focused on how Velvet was touching you. "She's both our assistant, you know that, right?" Velvet continues to annoy and sass her already angered brother.

You currently had NO idea how to respond to such a gesture from Velvet, she usually seems so uptight, and keeps to herself, why was she just grabbing you randomly? You know that you haven't been working with Veneer for long, but you knew the face he had now was not a common one for him. He looked irate and distraught at the same time. You couldn't focus on anything Velvet was saying, all you could think about was how Veneer was acting in such a weird way. Velvet lessened her tight grip on you and slowly stood up to yell at Veneer for whatever he had said.

Nobody truly likes loud noises other than loud music and the calming thud of lightning and thunder. You slowly backed away from the two now that you weren't in Velvet's tight grasp. You nervously start biting at the skin beside your fingernails.

Dammit.

You thought you got rid of that habit, but it was coming back. When you were nervous as a child to your mid-teen years, you bit at the skin beside your fingernails till the epidermis of your skin was exposed.  Soccer games, speaking parts, talking to important people, you always bit your skin when you were a child. It scared you that it was coming back, so much so that your vision blurred until you couldn't tell which was Velvet and which was Veneer. The loud yelling and the fear of your skin-biting problem coming back did not mix well with your iron deficiency.

...

"I'm sorry! I didn't know this would happen!" Velvet whisper-yelled. You slowly blink your eyes open to Velvet and Veneer standing over your body. "What?" You look around, your body slowly gaining feeling and the light quickly flooding through your pupils, causing a slight nauseous feeling in your head. "What happened?" You tilt your head upwards and look at the two. "You were out for a minute or two..." GREAT! You say sarcastically in your mind. "I'm sorry, my body can't handle such overwhelming problems sometimes," you look away from the two.

"Its fine." Velvet seemed to be...scared? She helped you up and when she held your hand you could feel the obvious tremble in her body. "Are you oka-" you ask as soon as you were on your feet, "I thought you died!!" Velvet cries as she crunches you into a hug. "Oh my." The bruising on your chest did not help how tightly she was holding you. "Got it, great, how are you so strong?" You manage to struggle out. "Oh sorry...don't do that ever again!" She jokes and lets go of you...hopefully she was joking.
