It was another evening at the hotel. There weren’t many contestants downstairs at the moment, but there was still a soft chatter in the background as Mephone4s sat on the sofa. There was a random TV show playing as Mephone4s didn’t really pay much attention to it; he just wanted to do something other than sulk in his room. His knees were close to his face as he stared at the TV.

As Knife was lounging beside him, he looked over to just take a peek at Mephone4s. His eyes were glued to the screen as the TV played in the background.

“Mephone4s?” He called out, waiting for his response. There was complete silence from the other, which was typical of him.

As he processed what happened, he suddenly got a silly idea. He could use another way to grab his attention; a way that he would definitely hate. It wouldn’t hurt to try, right? Maybe he would get mad at him, but it was so tempting that Knife couldn’t resist the idea.

He mischievously scooted closer to Mephone4s, which was still completely unaware of what he was about to do. As Knife leaned in closer to him, he gently pressed a kiss to the side of his screen. It was a light one, but he lingered there for a moment before pulling away to see his reaction.

Mephone4s’ body froze. His screen slowly turned into a darker shade of red as he just sat there. When he finally registered what had just happened, he turned to look at Knife with a very flushed expression. If it wasn’t for his glasses, he would’ve looked 100x more embarrassed.

“What did you just…–” Mephone4s didn’t bother to finish his sentence as he stared at Knife’s smug face.

“What? I just kissed you.” He cooed as he leaned his head on the back of the sofa, admiring the other’s very embarrassed face.

“...Why?”

“Because you weren’t paying attention to me.”

Mephone4s put a hand to his screen. It was burning. He swore he could hear his own circuits buzzing. He was certainly not used to displays of affection, for that matter.

“I’m paying attention to you right now…?” His hand slid down his face as his face grew hotter and hotter.

“That’s the point, dummy. Also, why are you so embarrassed? It’s just a kiss.” His smile grew wider as he kept poking fun at him. Mephone4s grew more offended as Knife kept teasing him.

“You– You can’t just do that and expect me to stay calm!”

“Never expected you to…”

Mephone4s shoots him a glare before turning back to continue watching TV, clearing his throat in an attempt to gain back his composure. He feels Knife plant another kiss on his face. His body tensed up again, this time immediately turning to look at the other.

“What do you want…?!”

“Your attention.”

“I am already paying attention to you!” He feigned annoyance as he glared at Knife. He still wasn’t used to this weird way of affection, but it felt oddly nice to him. He would never admit that to Knife, though. He would recklessly tease him for that.

They both had a very tense staring contest before Knife broke the silence. “Okay okay, I'll stop.” He pauses. “But under one condition.”

“What is it.”

“Kiss me back.” He says, giving him a cheeky smile as he does so. Mephone4s scanned his body up and down before letting out an annoyed sigh. He inches closer to his face and gives a quick peck before settling down at his previous position.

“There. Now shoo.” He avoids Knife’s gaze as he folds his arms on top of each other. There was a faint blush on Knife’s face right after.

“Thanks!”

“Not welcome.” Knife lets out a quiet laugh before settling down beside him. They stayed there for a bit before returning to their own room. Mephone4s still felt pretty shaken up after the whole thing, but Knife found it funny.
