Apprenticeship [An SMG4 Fanfic]

Chapter 29: What a Horrible World

SMG5 glared at the elevator door, sipping their coffee as everyone gave them a weird look. Mario and Mr. Puzzles hadn't woken up yet.

"5-" Meggy started to say before 5 looked over at her.

"My bed. They had sex. In my. Bed!" They snapped, turning back to the elevator door. "I swear to memes if half the world wouldn't die from it, it'd kill him!"

"Well... maybe just... talk to them about it?" Tari asked nervously. "I mean... just let them know not to do it again and how much it upset you...?"

"I could scrub my entire room down with bleach and the strongest disinfectants in the world for the rest of my life and it wouldn't be clean enough," 5 growled.

Luigi shook his head. "Well... I'd say you can trash his room as payback, but... Mario wouldn't care either way."

"I need revenge..." 5 said, turning their glare to their avatar. "I want his ass to rue this day..."

"Damn," 3 said.

"He and Mr. Puzzles had sex in my bed!" 5 said, standing up and looking at the older SMG. "You'd act the same if he did that in yours!"

"I would've blown him up already, yeah," 3 said. "And Mr. Puzzles."

"Let's just calm down here," 6 said with a nervous laugh. "They had a rough day yesterday. Mr. Puzzles lost his body, and-"

"Not an excuse!" 5 said as they turned to him. "Not an excuse!"

"Can't believe Mario is that stupid to do that," Meggy laughed.

"I can," 4 chimed in, scrolling through memes on his phone as he leaned against the counter.

3 wrapped his arms around 4's waist, hugging him from behind as he rested his chin on his fiancé's shoulder and looked at the memes alongside him. "Yeah. I should add soundproofing to your room anyway."

"It would not be appreciated," 5 said. "Unless I can be sure Mario and Puzzles won't use my bed again."

"You offered it to them," Saiko said with a shrug. She currently sat at a table with her hair down as she looked at the area outside the cafe, doing her best to make sure Exubus didn't come anywhere near them.

"Not for sex!"

"I know," she said, turning to look at them. "I'm just saying that Mario might have...misconstrued the offer."

5 groaned, storming over to the coffee machine to make some more coffee. "Stupid fat Italian..."

"Yeah, don't kill our avatar?" 4 said, looking over at 5. "3 and I would like to keep our textures."

"No promises," 5 said, earning a laugh from 3.

4 rolled his eyes at the two of them before noticing something on his phone screen. He nervously looked at the others in the room with him. 3 and 5 were busy talking about the situation with Mario and Mr. Puzzles who were still asleep downstairs, 6 and Luigi were trying to talk 5 out of any murderous ideas towards the red plumber, Meggy and Tari had started their own side conversation about ducks, Axol and Melony were still asleep with Axol Jr cuddling close to the two, SMG1 was still asleep as Bob watched him with a loving look in his eyes, SMG2 was eating a croissant and clearly plotting something about SMG1 and Bob's situation, Saiko continued to stare out the windows, and Boopkins was watching an anime called School Live with Beeg, Eggdog, and Sprinkles.

4 looked back at his screen before tapping on the notification.

"Still willing to make that deal?"

4's breath hitched as he stared at the screen.
