The hues of blue and orange painted the sky above, casting a soft light across the ground. Mephone silently laid there against it, staring upwards at nothing in particular. He could feel the blades of grass sway near his body as he tried to relax his own body. Despite the warmth of the sun hitting his body, he felt somewhat cold inside. He didn't know why, but he was feeling slightly down today, not having the energy to do anything at the moment. So he decided to just sulk there in silence.

After a few moments, he heard a rustling sound from the grass nearby. He looks to his side and sees Floory sitting down on the grass beside him. Floory's face lights up as Mephone looks at him.

"Hiii!" He gives a small wave as he smiles at him. "You don't mind if I join you, right?"

"No, I don't." He replied in a rather monotone tone; he didn't mean for it to come out that way. Floory glanced at him, looking at his gloomy expression. His smile slightly faded as he grew concerned. That wasn't very common of Mephone.

"Why the face?"

"Dunno. I'm not feeling it today, I guess." Mephone shrugged, looking to the side.

"I just feel tired. That's all." What he said wasn't technically a lie, he was tired but that also wasn't technically all that was to it. He felt upset because he may or may not have overthinked just a tad and got himself in this gloomy mood, but it was a thing he did often, so he was already used to it by now.

"Are you...fine with hugs?" Floory turned his head to look at him, breaking the silence himself. Mephone paused and looked at him through the corner of his eye for a second before saying,

"Mhm. What, you wanna hug me?" He nods in response with a hopeful look on his face; Floory knew Mephone couldn't resist that face. Mephone lets out an exaggerated sigh before replying. "Alright, c'mere." He sits up and opens his arms, waiting for Floory to return the hug. He immediately returned the hug, squeezing his body like it was a plush toy.

Mephone felt at ease all of a sudden. Like every single little thought inside his head just disappeared instantly. He could only focus on the warmth of the hug. He could feel Floory softly rubbing his back, presumably as an attempt to soothe him.

Mephone closes his eyes, silently enjoying the hug as the time slowly ticked by. He hadn't been receiving affection lately either, maybe that's another cause for his mood. Whatever, that didn't matter right now. He needed to cherish this moment before it actually had to end. After a moment of hugging, Floory let go of him as he started to talk again.

"Do you feel better now?" He had a genuine smile on his face as he said that, the soft wind gently blowing the sides of his hair. Mephone thought for a moment before replying with a simple, "Mhm."

"Oh yay!" He softly cheered as he laid back down on the grass. Mephone did the same as he stared back at the sky above. They both laid there in a comfortable silence. Mephone decides to speak up again.

"Thanks."

"For the hug?"

"Mhm. What else?" Mephone looks at the other while he says that, taking in his very pleased expression. He was proud of himself.

"You're welcome!" He softly mumbled, but loud enough for Mephone to hear. They both sat there for a while afterwards, just enjoying eachothers company. They didn't talk for quite a bit, but they didn't need to.

Mephone had a small smile on his face for the first time that day. And it was all because of his silly assistant, Floory!
