It was all so foggy, I was mainly staring at the ceiling, tiles and different patterns struck my drunken mind. I could only make out rods touch, his arms were firmly wrapped around me. I felt his footsteps as though I was walking through him, I saw as pipes and exposed ceiling tiles as well as constant change of elevation were all leading to his room. I didn't know what we were tracking through, and I honestly didn't care. This was the most relaxed I had been since I first arrived in Mateline falls.
Finally, I looked down as rod moved a string of hair from my face. An old charming bedroom layer before me. A large table with a strange device holding one of rods mask was up fro display, as well as regular bedroom essentials including a fridge despite the lack of windows. Rod gently put my down, I stepped forward, looking carefully where I was walking as I knew I wasn't in the best state of mind. Rod continued ahead of me and sat down on his bed, and I followed almost hypnotically. I sat down next to him, his weight caused the mattress to shift and for me to lean closer to him which I didn't mind at all.
"So I guess you'd want to know why I kidnapped you in the first place, huh?" Yeah it would be ideal if you answered that first. "Alright than. Here goes nothing." Go on.. "I never knew my mother and my father was neglectful if I'm being honest. I was always bullied and picked on by kids in my class, And after my father passed away, I had no love for anyone. But than you randomly moved to town. I saw your car first, and it caught my eye somehow. I had plans to go to this neighbourhood for .. (rod looks nervous for a bit) other plans. But than I saw you. Now I have met many attractive people in my time but it's you that gave me a new feeling and a whole new world view. Like you flipped my entire reality on my head. And I can't thank you enough for it. but, I also couldn't risk losing you to someone else. You are the only person besides ones who have passed in my life to really, well.. being honest, made me feel love. And I can admit it, though it was so hard to get out before. I do love you y/n."

Well that was sappy.
Rod looked down and began to twiddle his thumbs again. Not saying it wasn't cute! And sweet. It really was, and I didn't mean corny in a bad way rod!
He stared back at me, his once hollow mask like head now so full of its own personality and kind of person. I'm reflecting on it now and it's a lot. It's powerful and uplifting and so so sweet. And I think your brave, braver than me. And sorry about what I said, I have such a hard time understanding emotions. "Maybe I could help?" Rod said in a small voice.
Sure rod.
"So, what else do you want to know?"
I actually.. wait, I want to know about your weird mini rods! The little things that run around that look like you! "Oh yes, my mini rods. Their my little assistants I made in my likeness. They just help around the factory and keep intruders out." Is that why they stunned me? They thought I was an intruder? "Well, yes." Well that makes a lot of sense. You know, for someone who is a kidnapper, your not that bad of a guy. I said half joking and punching his shoulder lightly. "Thank you!" He said in a much more cheerful tone than before. "Are you feeling better y/n?" Well I certainty feel more safe than before, so yeah I guess you could say I'm doing better. "I'm glad. This is exactly what I wanted." What? "I wanted us to actually get to know each other rather than you just seeing me as your kidnapper." Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm still mad and your still my captor, but I must admit talking to you on a human level is nice.
Rod just titled his head slightly, I could sense he had a massive grin on his face.
"Is there anything else you wanted to know?"
Actually, yeah.
"What is y/n?"
Am I ever going to be able to go home?
"Of course! I never wanted you to feel like a prisoner. I only ever wanted a relationship."
Well that's reassuring.
"Here, you look tired."
Hm?
"Not saying you look bad! You look amazing and so beautiful! Or I meant you look stunning and so so attractive! You look good but I can just tell your getting tired."
Yeah I am exhausted from being kidnapped.
I said half joking.
"I'll leave you alone for a bit so you can catch up on some much needed rest. If you need anything, call a mini rod and they will get you whatever you'd like!"
Wait
Rod.
"Yes y/n?"
I feel bad about taking your bed. After all, you prepared that nice dinner and you look tired too. Are you sure you don't want to sleep with me? Not in that way. But having someone sleep next to me would be ideal. Most likely you since your already here and tired." Rod responded by staring at you intently.  Immediately you could sense he was hiding a grin under his mask and a aura of pure happiness enveloped him. It's like those few words we're enough for him to feel bliss.
"Are you serious?? I'm sorry that sounds creepy. Your not joking right? I don't mind and I don't mind also sleeping next to you if you also don't mind-"
I interrupted him by grabbing his hand a pulling him closer.
Come on and get into bed you big goof.
"Goof?"
Rod said as he moved closer.
Would you prefer I called you dumbass?
"No, goof is good." He said immediately settling in and putting an arm around y/n.
His body was pressed up against your and you could basically feel his heartbeat. Though he squished his body together as to keep his hands away from y/n.
You could tell he was trying really hard to be as respectful as possible.
Alright. I guess I'm going to have to take this leap of faith.
I turned over to face rod and moved closer to him, putting an arm around him and sandwiching one of his thighs with both of mine.
You could both feel and hear his heartbeat get faster and pound harder against your chest as your snuggle up closer to rod. Though the very bold action, you could tell rod was getting more and more comfortable doing exactly what he wanted.
You heard as rod gulped anxiously.
Relax. Just try and sleep. I won't bite you.
"I know, it's just I'm having a hard time believing any of this is real. What if I wake up in 5 minutes and it was just another one my dreams?"
What? Are you saying you've dreamt about me?
"Just forget it."
You moved your hand over to rod arm and lightly pinched it.
Not a dream. See?
However, are you going to take off that mask?
Your going to bed after all.
"No. I can never take this off when your around."
Why? I don't really care about looks all that much. It's your personality that counts the most.
"I will explain later."
Right, sorry.
And all went silent. But only for a bit.
"Good night y/n."
Good night rod.
But I couldn't go to sleep. As much as he helped, I just couldn't. Though I had to admit, when I really focused, his body heat was so deeply soothing it almost put me to sleep.
Rod continued to press further and further up against y/n. His snoring was faint but very noticeable. But I can easily sleep over such a noise.
If only I could take off that mask and see his face.
I don't even expect much.
I mean I'm no super model.
Eventually, his body was firmly pressed up against me, and I could feel his weight. It was a good kind of crushing feeling. Like a weighted blanket. Or like a really big bear hug.
My eyes started to fade to black as I eventually closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
Clearly, rod want as cold as I thought. 💕
