Hoodie's P.O.V:

I walked into our room shortly after leaving masky. It was around 6:30 in the morning and i had to admit i was pretty well rested. As i pushed on the door my thoughts trailed back to last night, i felt my face go red and then i gasped. The room was an absolute mess. There were tons of beer bottles around the floor, what seemed like a broken chair, glass and a lamp. The wall was broken and there was a ring of plaster missing, which was crumbling into the carpet. Masky's bed was messy and the blankets were thrown around as well as several posters and sheets of paper.

"W-What happened last night?!" I exclaimed, scanning around the room with anxious eyes. My view landed on a black notebook with hand painted operator symbols on it. Masky's black notebook. Curiously, i picked it up as it was half open and flicked through to the most recent page:

11/09/2014

I'm fucking sick of it all. Sick of pretending to be okay. Sick of acting like every things fine. It's not. I'm not O-fucking-Kay! I swear if anyone asks me if i'm alright i'll rip out their tongue and shove it down their fucking throat. I... I've been smoking again. I'm drinking while i'm writing. Beer washes the problems away. For a while. I... I just can't help feeling jealous over mr perfect... Eyeless Jack - The douche Hoodie seems so fucking attached to. I want to feel like he's my friend again. Not his. I overheard Jack talking to Hoodie yesterday... I knew he liked him but even this came as a shock. I have no idea why i feel so fucking jealous!? Fuck it. I'll forget for today.

I gasped, my face going pink... This is masky's diary! I quickly but carefully dropped it. Wait... If Masky is jealous over Jack does that mean... No. It won't.... It never does.

~A while later~

I'd finally finished cleaning the room. It took a while. I stepped back to admire my work when Jane knocked on my door, 

"Hoodie, are you in here?" She asked, sweetly, knocking on the door. I popped my head out, 

"Yes?" I asked politely. Jane smiled,

"Masky wants you for something downstairs. He was going to get you himself but I said since i was going up i'd call you."

"Oh... Thank you Jane!" I exclaimed, straightening my mask and taking off downstairs. I found Masky in the library, studying over some paperwork and folders. 

"Hello, Masky. What did you need?" He turned around looking confused, his mask on the desk. 

"Hi, Hoods... Could you give me a hand please?" He asked, pointing at a clipboard in his hands and staring at it, as if hoping the work would do itself. I walked towards him and put my chin on his shoulder. 

'I should be able to be let off with this because i'm shorter than him...' I thought.

"What is it?" I asked, leaning closer so i was pressed against his back, i also stood on my toes. After staring at the sheet for a few seconds i smiled, "Slenderman signs there... Write down the purpose of the job there and then sign there."Masky let out a small 'Oh' and fiddled around for a pen, i handed him one and he began to scribble down the information.

"DINNER'S READY!" Jane yelled from the kitchen, within seconds the sounds of dozens of voices sounded in the hall next to us and i waited patiently at the door for my friend.

Masky's P.O.V:

We were having something chicken for tea. Except the chicken tasted off. And E.J seemed to enjoy it waaay too much, which made me even more suspicious. Anyway Hoods started to mess around and kick me under the table so i began to kick back. Playfully, of course. Then Jeff elbowed BEN, making him spill his drink all over us. I sighed and pushed away my plate, walking up to our room with Hoodie trailing behind. Once inside he sat on his bed and muttered to himself. I shrugged and pulled off my jacket, revealing my chest... I never had a chance to put a shirt on this morning. I'm sure Hoodie was embarrassed because he looked away. Did he seriously think there was something wrong with his looks? i'm sure he looks fine... I've never seen him without his mask on... And if i have i've never noticed. He quickly turned off his lamp so the room was only faintly illuminated by the TV and sat on my bed. I had the better view of the television, which was awesome, Hoods selected a channel and we began to watch Adventure Time, unil he began to shiver.

"You should take off your hoodie, you could get sick." I insisted, he froze up when i tugged at the hem then nervously pulled it off. I wrapped my blanket around him so he was in a sort of cocoon and he snuggled up into a ball, staring with intrest at the tv.

~A while later~

I began to get sleepy, Hoods was too but i didn't want to move him because it would wake him up. I pulled at the corner of the blanket and he squished closer to me so i could get warmer and i began to fall asleep. Hoodie next to me, his head on my shoulder, my head on his. I was too tired to care if it was awkward or not. He smelled like cheesecake and it made me smile. Maybe that's why he's so sweet...

Hoodie's P.O.V:

Settle down with me

Cover me up

Cuddle me in

Lie down with me

And hold me in your arms...

A/N: Sorry about the short chapter. I needed something to write! I think it's cute though!
