(Masky's P.O.V)


  A light gust of wind blew though the eerie woods.  Blowing leaves off their perches on the frail branches.  The sun had placed its self high in the sky, radiating its heat upon the Earth.  The trees stood tall and proud.  Its branches reach towards the sky, basking in the warm light of the sun.  The orange leaves and browns twigs, were scattered among the ground, giving it a dead but beautiful appearance.

  I was thrown to the ground again for the forth time today, making me extremely pissed and agitated.  Hoodie and me were sparring in the Slender woods as a training exercise.  Hoodie was incredibly agile, while I had tremendous amount of strength, but this had its faults.  I was slower than him giving him the upper hand.  Although I can land a hard blows, Hoodie could always doge and counterattack.  Beads of sweat had formed on my skin, making my hair stick uncomfortably to my forehead.

  I picked myself up and pounced on Hoodie, punching him in the face.  He threw me off and kicked me in stomach.  In training we never hold back, but we know when enough is enough.  We know our own limits, aswell as each others.  I coughed up speaks of blood that stuck to the inside of my mask, but I continued fighting on.  I stood and tackled Hoodie, knocking him off his feet.  I punched his gut before preparing for the final blow to his face.  He kicked up wards and hit my gem.  I howled in pain and fell off Hoodie, clutching my stinging little friend. He got up and pinned me to the ground.  'I win'.  I could clearly hear the smirk in his voice.

  I could almost imagine the smug look on his face as he stared down at me.  He got off me and gave me a hand.  I hesitantly took his hand and he pulled me up.  I staggered a bit then stood up normally.  Hoodie walked over to the fallen tree, to were we place our duffle bags evertime we train.  He pulled out two canteens of water and threw one in my direction.

  I gladly caught the water in one hand, took off my mask and procceded to gulp down the refreshing liquid.  I had pulled the whole mask off,  as I was only comfortable with Hoodie and allowed only him see my face.  The cold liquid shoothed my partched throat and put me at ease.  I pulled the canteen away from my lips and wipped off the remains with my shoulder.  I limped over to the decrepid tree and put my ass on the rough bark.  Hoodie came and sat down next to me.

'Hey Tim you okay? Did I break your little friend?' I glared at him, 'Oi, my friend isn't small!' Hoodie snickered at my reply. 'Hey mine is bigger than yours' I punched his shoulder playfully. 'What ever you say Masky, whatever you say' I scoffed at this and Hoodie smirked under his mask. He then pulled off his mask and took a sip of water.

I couldn't help but stare at his fluffy brown hair, or stunning green eyes. His lips looked so soft and delicate. I wanted to kiss him so badly. I loved everything about him. I just wish I had the courage to tell him I was gay. I was so caught up in my thoughts about Hoodie that I didn't notice him looking at me. 'Uh Masky, why are you staring at me?' his words pulled me out of my thoughts and I shook my head. I looked into his eyes and he looked worried. 'Is there something wrong?' Hoodie was now definatly worried. He turned his body to face me and put his hands on my shoulders.

'What's wrong?' I didn't reply, I didn't trust myself enough to open my mouth and not break down .My stress levels were raging quite high during the past few days, making my anxity worsen and my depression deepen. Hoodie had never pushed me to tell him anything and that's one reason to why I adore him so much. He understood yet he didn't know what I was going through. He looked at me closely, his expression was stern but then it softened quickly. He pulled me into his embrace. I returned the gesture, by squeesing him tightly.

Then I just snapped and I broke down in his arms. He hugged my tightly, his embrace was warm and comforting. My sobs were loud and strained as I cried into his shoulder, all my emotions poured out as my tears slid down my cheeks. I let out a frustrated scream and clung onto him .He held onto me, rubbing my back in atempts to calm me down. He whispered things in my ear, making my settle down .Hoodie was the only one able to calm me down, saying those honey sweet words. I started coughing up blood and he began patting my back 'Calm down Masky, i'm here for you don't you ever forget that'.

Coughs racked my already trembling frame. My coughs became less violent until they eventully stopped altogether. Hoodie grabbed my bag and pulled my pills out. He opened the bottle and deposited a pill onto the palm of his hand. He gave me the pill and the canteen of water I had dropped on the floor.

I popped the pill in my mouth and washed it down with water. I gave the canteen back to him and panted softly. Hoodie rubbed my back with the palm of his hand.'Do you think you can run all the way back to Slender mansion?' I nodded. He sighs and passes me my duffle bag, while slinging his over his shoulder. I got up and put my mask back on.

I turned to Hoodie who already had his mask on. We then nodded to each other and procceded on with our journey back to the mansion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*time skip to one hour later*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was evening and the sun had set hours ago. We had started off with a slow jog which then turned into a sprint. The rain stated pouring down, pelting us with droplets of water. We incressed our speed, and just off in the distance I could see the mansion.

We ran up the marble steps and pushed our way though the big oak doors. BEN was playing video games infront of the flat screen T.V, and I saw Eyeless Jack on the sofa, reading a book about the human anatomy. I didn't know the reason to why he only read about that .I ignored both of their greetings as I ran up the stairs to mine and Hoodie's shared room. I pushed the door open and threw my bag on the floor next to the doorframe. I colasped on my bed and closed my eyes tiredly.

I heard a pair of footsteps walk in and close the door. I didn't bother looking up because I knew it was Hoodie. I sat up but flinched in pain, and looked around the room.The bookself was stacked high with books, and the big desk in the corner of the room was covered with papers .My bed was on the leftside of the room while Hoodie's bed was on the rightside.I had newspaper articles stuck to my wall, while hoods had kept his bare. We had a noticeboard by the desk, so we could put up reminders and notifications. But right now it was bare, except for a a 50% disscount off for cheesecake. We shared a dresser that was pushed up against the wall, right at the foot of my bed and there was a door leading to the bathroom at the foot of Hoodie's bed. I sighed and took in the rooms comforting aromas.

I saw Hoodie had taken off his mask and was sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling off his combat boots. He placed them under his bed and went into the bathroom. I layed back on my bed, taking my mask off and placed it on my bedside table. I heard the shower start up and I glanced at the slightly opened door. Hoping for a small peek at my unclothed partner.

I closed my eyes and relaxed when I had seen nothing .I kicked off my boots and they landed with a loud thud on the otherside of the room. I slid out of my jacket, leaving myself in my white undershirt and plain black jeans. I peeled off my sweaty socks and threw them into the hamper by the bathroom door. I rested my head back down onto my soft pillow. I stayed that way for a while, until I heard that the water stopped and the silent thud of the door hitting the wall.

I held my head up, using my neck, and saw Hoodie walking out the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was dripping wet and a few drops fell onto his broad shoulders, only to slide down his chest. I felt blood rush up to my face but I looked away before he could notice.

He walked up to the dresser and opened his drawer. He looked around for some clothes to wear, throwing the clothing to the side to get a better look. After a while he groaned and gave up. He walked over to his bed and crawled under the covers. With only his towel on.

I got up and decided to have a shower, for the sweat on my head and body had dryed and it made me feel sticky and uncomfortable. I walked into the bathroom and stripped down. I stepped into the shower and started up the water. The hot water felt good against my skin and I sighed as the water massaged my aching muscles. I cleaned my self off before steeping out and drying myself off. I wrapped the towel round my wasit and walked out and into the room.

I saw Hoodie fast asleep in his bed, well thats what it looked like. I walked over to my bed and went under the covers. Before my head hit my pillow I had to switch off the light. Leaving me in darkness.'Night Hoods' I whispered quietly only to then hear a faint response come from the otherside of the room, 'Night Masky' I rested my head on my pillow and fell into dreamless sleep. Or so I thought~
