~Prince's POV~

After yesterday, I expected Anxiety to go back to sulking in his room so I am quite surprised to see him out and about again. When I enter the commons I see him sitting there, marathoning Sword Art Online on Netflix.

"Hey, mind if I join you?" I ask. He jumps and turns to face me.

"Oh s-sure..." he stutters nervously, scooting over to make room for me. He seems to be a bit more closed off and nervous than yesterday but I guess that just comes with being the physical embodiment of anxiety...

I sit down and start watching the show. I notice that he's still in the Incrad arc. I turn to take a glance at Anxiety. His eyes are trained on the screen and he's bitting his lip nervously, as if he's worried that he's gonna mess up somehow. I somehow find myself staring at the darkly dressed boy, instead of the tv.

He's so cute when he's nervous...

Wait what? Where did that come from? I shake the thought out of my head and turn my attention back to the show.

We burn through a couple episodes before we decide to do something else.

"What do you want to do?" I ask after he turns off Netflix. We both sit in s somewhat awkward silence as we try to think of something to do.

"We could play a game?" Anxiety suggests after a long period of quiet. I look over at him, intrigued.

"What game?" I ask curiously.

"Um... Smash Bros?" He suggests. My eyes light up at the words.

"YES!! Let's do this!" I exclaim excitedly. I see his lips twitch into a smile as he rushes to set the game up.

He plugs our WiiU into the screen and inserts the disc. He takes the gamepad and hands me a remote. He opens up the game and we immediately select our mains.

We look at each other in surprise as we realize what we picked. I have chosen Pit. Anxiety has chosen Dark Pit.

Once the initial shock wears off, Anxiety starts laughing. I join in as we laugh at the little coincidence. We laugh for a minute or two before calming down. We move on to stage selection and Anxiety turns to me.

"What stage should we play on?" He asks me.

"How about Final Destination?" I respond. He hovers over Final Destination and clicks on it. We begin battling, both of us rushing to get the smash ball when it appears.

When the battle is over, we relax and wait for the results. Anxiety won.

We play multiple rounds before we decide to call it quits. Anxiety having won 7 rounds, while I only won 5.

At this point we realize that it's getting kind of late. We decide to watch a movie to finish the day with. We end up watching Aladdin.

About halfway through the movie, I feel the weight next to me shift. I look over to see Anxiety asleep on my shoulder. I smile and stare at him for a bit.

Suddenly I feel my phone buzz. I shift it out of my pocket to check the message.

Dad Jokes(Patton): you both are adorable.

I notice that there's a picture attached. I blush as I realize it's of me with Anx sleeping while cuddling up to me.

How did he get this? This is literally happening right now!

I look around but I don't see him anywhere. I sigh and look at the picture again. He's not wrong... It's cute. I look over at Anxiety to make sure he's still asleep. When I see that he is I quickly turn back to my phone. I click on the picture.

Save to gallery.

Heh... Anx would kill me if he knew about this.
