"Drift! (y/n)!" Teknique yelled from outside of the room. You opened your eyes, feeling cold. Sure you had a blanket, but Drift wasn't cuddling you. But he was snoring next to you. Without being invited, Teknique entered the room. She froze when she saw you. "Am I interrupting something?" She smirked teasingly.

"N-No!" you protested. Drift moaned and rolled onto his back.

"You're interrupting my sleep," Drift grumbled.

You couldn't help but laugh at his comeback.

"Well, this is important," Teknique replied sassily. "John Wick needs to see you and (y/n) downstairs asap." Drift sighed.

"It's time for my punishment," Drift said with feigned excitement.

"Punishment?" you repeated.

"I ran off without telling anyone on the team and caused a lot of trouble for the team," Drift explained simply. "Now it's time to face the music."

"How do you almost always stay so positive?" you asked, more to yourself. Drift shrugged and pulled himself out of bed, heading downstairs. You followed him to the underground base. You always loved going downstairs.

"There you both are. Would you like me to give you the bad news or the good news first?" John said, his voice not as commanding as usual.

"The bad news," you replied.

"The bad news is that Drift will be on night shift for the next few days, and will not leave the mansion. He is on probation," John started. Drift looked slightly bothered.

"Alright, sir," Drift sounded disappointed.

"The good news is very huge," John continued. "We found a way to send you both back to your home." You gasped, feeling mixed emotions. You would get to see your friends, family, and your old home. But then you would lose your new friends and new home where you felt like you fit perfectly. You looked over to Drift and he seemed to have the same mixed feelings as you.

"How is that possible?" you asked.

"We figured out how to manipulate the rifts so we can track them back to all the places they are in the other world," John explained. "We can use them and make them disappear and appear as we please."

"So that means you can send us back to the desert that we came from," Drift stated.

"Yes," John replied.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were finding this stuff out? I thought you trusted me a lot," Drift pouted. He wasn't actually angry. It seemed as if he was in a bad mood especially since he was given the night shift.

"I didn't want to make you get too hopeful and then it failing," John replied.

"Anyway... What about you guys?" you asked.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to go home?" John asked.

"I really do, but this place has become a second home for me," you said.

"I thought you would ask that," John said. He threw you a remote. "That remote will be able to manipulate the rifts, and if you wanted to, you could create one in your room that would spawn into our world. Then you could come back."

"So basically we can come back anytime we want," Drift nodded enthusiastically. "I would love this."

"And we could come to your world if we needed to," John added.

"When can we go back?" you asked.

"Anytime you want, but first Drift has to finish his punishment," John said sternly. "I'm not trapping you here, but you need to learn." Drift hung his head shamefully.

"I understand," Drift said.

"You both are dismissed," John said. "Carbide and I have to take care of our leadership duties." You both walked back upstairs, into Drift's room. An unspoken agreement came between the both of you that you both had to talk about what happened the previous day. Drift closed the door behind him, locking it. You nervously sat on the bed.

"So," you stalled.

"So," Drift said at the same time. You both paused then laughed.

"We shouldn't be this awkward," you stated. "We've been sharing the same room for the last few weeks."

"Y-Yeah," Drift stammered.

"Except for when you ran off."

Drift went silent, and looked very uncomfortable. Normally, you would feel bad for making him feel that way, but you needed answers. You needed to know why he ran off.

"Why did you leave me?" you asked, emotions slamming you full force. You were happy that he was back, but now that you had time to process his return, you were angry and hurt that he had left you alone.

"I guess I will have to tell you the truth," Drift rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "The reason I ran off is because I knew I wouldn't be able to protect you."

"So you ran away from your problems?!" you said loudly. It wasn't a shout, but it still made Drift flinch.

"No, I went to train with Ragnarok to become stronger," Drift explained. "And even though I was only gone for a little while, I really did improve. I am now two times stronger than Omega."

"The last part doesn't matter since Omega is now dead," you replied bluntly.

"Well, Oblivion is still out there," Drift pointed out. "And that other thing Omega sent after you." You didn't hear the second sentence since Drift had said it so quietly, and you didn't know he spoke since his dust mask covered his mouth.

"True, but the team will take care of her soon," you said. You sighed sadly. "I'm sorry I stressed you out like that. You shouldn't have had to run away because I was too weak to defend myself."

"(y/n)-"

"I know, I'm worthless. In this world and the other world," you said sadly. You twiddled your thumbs nervously, looking at the ground instead of Drift. Without warning, Drift walked over to you quickly and wrapped his arms tightly around you. He pulled away slightly so you could see his face.

"You're not worthless. You're worth everything in both worlds to me," Drift said seriously. You blushed and your face was probably hotter than the sun. He freed one of his arms and pulled down his mask, before crashing his lips on yours. Again, there were butterflies in your stomach and you felt a surge of energy, as if you could run around the whole map without ever stopping. He pulled back.

"D-Drift," you stammered, unsure of what to say.

"I know what you're going to ask," Drift said. "(y/n), will you be my girlfriend?" Your heart was about to burst with joy.

"Yes, I will be your girlfriend, Drift."
