AUTHORS NOTE: (hello I'm back!! 💕)
It was a beautiful day, 4 had made some memes earlier, played with Beeg and overall, it had just been a great day! 4 noticed that he found himself a little tired and his throat was a bit dry so he headed over to 3s cafe. He opened the door with a big smile on his face, looking around for 3 but he wasn't there.
smg4: three? you in here?
he called for his name and looked around for the purple meme guardian, still no sign of him. Suddenly, he heard some familiar barking coming from behind the counter.
smg4: oh! hey eggdog! you seen 3 anywhere? I thought he'd be there since he's not back at the castle and he does work here afterall.
eggdog barked and looked quite distressed, he ran outside of the door and waited for 4 to follow. Leant against the side wall of the coffee shop, sitting down was smg3. He had his head in his hands yet you could partially see some of his face. He was shaking a little and trying to take deep breaths, some broken pencils were next to him. He picked up a new pencil and snapped it relentlessly, putting it into his pile. 4 walked over to him and sat opposite him.
smg4: three, can we talk? please?
3 was startled and hid his face again into his knees and let out quiet sobs. 4 crossed his legs and gave Three a sympathetic smile, despite him not seeing it. Once Three realised that 4 wasn't leaving and it seemed that he was genuinely worried for him, he leapt up and sat on 4s lap. His legs either side of 4s waist and he immediately wrapped his arms around him, attempting not to let 4 see his face. Their chests pressed together, keeping them both warm. He sobbed more, letting more tears fall on his shoulders that soaked into the fabric of 4s shirt. 4 held him close, comforting him and slowly stroked the back of his hair.
smg4: please talk to me Three, whatever you have to say, i'll listen. I'm here for you, I promise.
despite sniffling through out every sentence and his voice breaking, 3 tried to explain everything.
smg3: the coffee shop is getting no customers at all which means I don't have enough money to keep it running. Therefore, I'm going to have no where to live and I know that id be so embarrassed that I wouldnt tell anyone and run to the woods and live there isolated and alone. I can't fucking live in the woods. Having no one to talk to, nowhere to sleep.... But if I did that then you and all your friends would think that I don't care about you, when in reality I do. I really do. Especially you, 4. I know your friends aren't really the biggest fan of me and honestly, I don't blame them. Those horrible, monstrous things I did in the past are my fault. I deserve the hate. I'm unlovable. I am a shitty person, I really fucking am and I do try to change, I am trying but.... I just feel like I'm still the same monster I used to be, a liar, selfish and manipulative. I hate myself so much, I try not to be but I am a dickhead, I never think about anyone besides myself and I know that I shouldn't do that. I should be more considerate. more selfless. more kind.... I don't know why you're still here. Still around, still caring for me. I'm surprised you've not left me. I mean just look at me, I'm an asshole. I'm trying, 4. I really am. And maybe one day, I'll figure things out and make things right...
3 held onto 4 even tighter and started crying a lot more
smg4: three....
he held him tighter too and a few tears fell from his eyes. He hated seeing him like this.
smg4: lets go through things one by one okay? so, the coffee shop. I can loan you some money to keep it up and running, I'll post about it online and get my fans to spread the word. Sooner or later you'll be flooded with customers and besides, I'm still coming for my daily latté. You're always gonna have some place where you're wanted and are free to stay at. I'll always offer you that. You can live at the castle if you ever need to or if you just want to visit and come round for a bit, that's fine too. I'm always here for you three. Our friends, love and care about you, just like I do. I know that if they knew how you were feeling, they'd tell you that they do still care about you. Because they do. You are not all of those things you say you are. you're not. You are kind, loving, respectful and a great person. Please don't let anyone including yourself tell you otherwise. I'm really glad you told me, three. I want you to know that the reason I'm here isn't because I feel bad leaving my meme guardian partner to be all upset on his own but it's because I really do care about you. You've helped me so much and don't even know how to thank you for all you've done. I'm always here for you 3, and I'll always be here to listen you whatever you have to say. I promise.
3 seemed to be a little calmer but it seemed that he was hiding something else.
smg4: is there anything else you want to talk about? I'll listen.
smg3: ......... n-no, nothing. it doesn't matter
smg4: please, I really want you to be okay.
smg3: ... it's just, that.....
3 took a deep breath.
smg3: how do you tell someone you love them?
4 wasn't expecting that and was a bit shocked, he closed his eyes and held 3 closer.
smg4: are you 100% sure you love this person?
3 nodded his head
smg4: do you think they like you back?
3 started to sniffle and cry a little more, his voice breaking a little.
smg3: i.... i don't....i don't know....
smg4: if you really love them, I think you just gotta tell them...
smg3: yeah but.... how?
smg4: it's 3 simple words, say them and you've done it.
smg3: hey 4?
smg4: yeah?
3 took a deep breath
smg3: i love you......
4 took a few seconds and started smiling with tears welling up in his eyes.
smg4: hey 3?
smg3: yeah?
smg4: i love you too.....
3 pulled out of the hug, still on 4s lap and looked at him with his puffy red eyes. He cupped 4s cheek and tilted his head to the side slightly.
The two then kissed...
3s hand on 4s cheek and 4 holding 3 by the waist.
smg3: thanks for everything, 4.....
smg4: anytime, 3......
