Silence.


The last few weeks have been stressful. Ever since Astro and Dandy's little 'date', everyone has been showering Dandy with countless gifts!

Sure, he enjoyed the little goods he would receive but it felt like everywhere he went; someone was there! He was gonna make a change, he couldn't handle all of this attention!

He speed walked towards his office, ignoring anyone that spoke to him. He heard running behind him and saw Cosmo holding a huge box of items; "Dandy wait! I just wanted to know if you wanted too–"

"Sorry! Gotta do something really important!" Dandy dived into his office; locking the door and pushing a chair in front of it. He smiled and sat down at his desk, pulling out a piece of paper to doodle on; hopefully everyone would forget about him, and fast.

He was woke up by a loud pounding at the door, Dandy huffed and looked at the time; 5:56 am. He groaned and unlocked the door, he was pushed into a hug by RnD; "oh? What are you doing up at this hour?" Dandy whispered, his voice hoarse from just waking up.

"Well.. we've noticed you've been more nervous lately and threw a surprise for you!" Razzle excitedly whispered back, making Dazzle smile in the process. "Yes.. we've prepared something.. nice.." Dazzle looked off to the side, Razzle had been teaching him to be more positive and he felt like he nailed it.

Dandy thought about rejecting the offer but then realized he had been ignoring everyone, it wouldn't hurt to actually bond once in awhile. "Sure! Lead the way, friends." Razzle silently squealed and took Dandy's hand, guiding him to their room.

Dandy smiled like a child, he was actually enjoying himself! These two weren't as loud as the others; he could get used to this.

They finally arrived at RnD's room, he was carefully guided inside and sat on a chair; the room was dark and cooled. Just how Dandy preferred it, he watched as RnD grabbed something; cookies? Cookies at 6 in the morning? Well Dandy wasn't complaining.

RnD placed it on a tiny table which separated them; RnD sitting on the other side with their own personal chair. Dandy turned his full body towards them and smiled, "well? Is there something you wanted me to do–"

"No no.. we've noticed you've been doing so much for us.. this is a time to chat about tiny subjects, and eating cookies. How about you tell us about yourself and things you like?" Dazzle finally finished speaking, he stared at the ground as his cheeks got warm; clearly embarrassed after speaking so much.

Dandy smiled and took a cookie, eating it one bite. "I like the way you guys think! I could get used to having actual conversations with people.. thank you for this." Razzle and Dazzle both blushed and nodded, motioning for Dandy to speak; as they both wanted to hear him ramble.

They all talked for hours, Dazzle getting more confident and actually speaking more. Eventually Dandy got tired and told them he was leaving, the time now being near 9 am. Razzle and Dazzle assured him that he could sleep in their bed as they laid down.

He shrugged and jumped on to the bed, getting comfortable. What he didn't expect was RnD to actually cuddle into him; he leaned into their warmth and immediately fell asleep.

He probably had gotten the best sleep in a while that night.

Dandy woke up with a yawn and looked around, RnD no longer by his side. He checked the time, it was almost 1 pm. He didn't sleep for long but it was enough to keep his energy pumping. He sat up and sighed once his feet touched the ground, Dandy cracked his back and walked over to the door; swinging it open as he hummed a tune.

He walked into the kitchen, surprisingly nobody was there; he shrugged and sat at the kitchen table, laying his head down as he closed his eyes somehow still tired.

He was jolted awake by Cosmo and Sprout entering the kitchen, geez they were loud.. he stood up and ran past them; thankfully they didn't realize it was him and continued on their way. He headed back to his office and hummed; forgetting to lock the door.

Okay, a few more hours away from everyone wouldn't hurt! He just needed a break from all of the noise, just for once, besides.. he needed to do paperwork. He grabbed his phone and started scrolling through YouTube, looking for a good commentary video to use as background noise.

A few hours had passed and thankfully he hadn't been interrupted, he was about to stand up; to finally leave the room but heard screaming outside.

"Is Dandy in his room?!" "Ooh! I wanna see him!" "Shove off somewhere! It's my turn to hang out with him?!" "You can't even tell what 2 x 2 is, idiot! Why should you hang out with him?"

He could hear the voices coming closer to his room and he panicked, not wanting to deal with everyone; he ran into the closet, making sure to grab his phone and lock the door. He backed up, hiding behind his old business suits as he breathed heavily; the door broke down as everyone swarmed the place.

It was silent before they all marched outside; going to look for Dandy. Dandy sighed with relief and turned his phone on; putting on Coryxkenshin to calm down. He made sure to turn the volume down as to not reveal his hiding spot.

He just wanted to be alone. He focused on Cory's voice and smiled, the others would have to stop looking eventually.. right?
