It was quite a cold evening tonight and most objects at the hotel were wrapped in blankets, sipping hot chocolate, or roasting themselves near the fireplace. Fan was off at trophy's room. For some reason he felt a little different.
"So what'd you need nerd?" He peeked up to see trophy looking down at him. "Oh, um I just wanted to hang out." Fan had terrible social skills especially when some weird uncomfortable feeling was churning inside of him. Trophy nodded, "ight, let's watch TV."
Fan smiled, "Sure! You wanna watch—" but he wasn't able to finish. "Yeah let's watch some soccer." Trophy clicked the remote, and the sports channel popped up on the screen. Fan wasn't a big fan of sports, he quite disliked it. But if that's what trophy wanted to watch-he seemed to be completely fine with it.
Meanwhile: testy & bolb hotel room
Test tube marked off the last day of December proudly—she had been together with lightbulb for exactly a week! Which didn't sound like a long time but it felt great. "Testy!" She whirled around to see her girlfriend waving and holding a CVS pharmacy bag. "Did you get it?" She walked over, while lightbulb handed the bag to her. "Yup! Here's your Tylenol."Test tube smiled, "Thanks." Lightbulb nodded and hopped over to the bedroom they shared. "You really need to stop living on coffee and Tylenol, testy." Test tube sighed heavily and walked over to the kitchen counter, she opened a cabinet, and tried to put together a phrase while she put the bottle of pills away. "Yes..I know."
She would stay up hellishly at night, working until she lay unconscious on her work desk, and wake up in bed. "I've been carrying you to bed every night." She could hear lightbulb say. She couldn't help but smile at that."Aww, that was you all along?" Lightbulb turned a bit pink. "W-Well duh..what else could've been the answer?" Test tube chuckled and sat beside her. "I thought I've sleep walking." Lightbulb snickers, "No—but you've been doing a lot of sleep talking!"
Test tube cuddled close to the shorter object, "Mhm-what kind of things did I say?" Lightbulb shushed her, "Nah, it's better if I I keep shut." Test tube smiled and rolled her eyes, "hey lightbulb?" She was ready to talk seriously. Lightbulb was not the kind of sincere or serious person at all. That was more of test tube. Though lightbulb knew when serious time was here, and would temporarily stop her silly antics. And test tube knew that.
"Um..yeah testy?" Lightbulb raised her eyebrow. Test tube struggled to swallow the lump in her throat. "Umm, lightbulb, I'm only asking this to make sure—I-Im not saying it'll happen!" She started. Lightbulb furrowed her eyebrows. "Yeah..?" She mumbled. Test tube gulped. "Um..would you ever..cheat on m-me?"
Lightbulb's eyes widen, had she heard that right? Was test tube joking with her?"WHAT?? NOO O!!"
Test tube jumped because of lightbulb's sudden outburst. Lightbulb clasped a hand over her mouth. "I-sorry didn't mean to shout—but testy why would you think that?!" Test tube sighed and gently rubbed her arm. "I-I've just been having dreams and thoughts about it is all, a-and I'm scared.." lightbulb sighed of relief. "Babe, I'd never cheat on you." Test tube looked at her sternly, "would you?.." lightbulb smiled, and put a hand over test tube's.
"No, I'd never..I promise!"
Back w/ fan & trophy:
Fan was getting insanely bored sitting here and watching trophy excitedly stare at the TV screen. He didn't understand what was so exciting about soccer. He remembered playing it as a fun side-hobby as a kid, but as he grew, he got more bored of it. It was simply dead to him now. Now he was forced to watch it though. And he knew that if he tried to get the channel changed, trophy would convince him not to. Fan laid there, frowning. He just wanted to please trophy—he started to like trophy in a certain way. He was in the crush zone...
Fan liked trophy.
Test tube's P.O.V.
I was relieved to know that lightbulb would never cheat on me. Considering her reaction to my question, I don't think she'll ever even try to cheat. I hope..lightbulb fell asleep leaning on my shoulder, aww she looked adorable. I cuddled close to her and pulled the blanket up high towards the two of us. I was watching some kind of science video about aliens—one day I will have enough proof that—
*knock knock knock*-!
Huh? Who was that? I reluctantly left lightbulb as cautious as I could and approached the door. Careful not to wake her up. "Hello?" I whispered, and felt relieved when it was only fan. "Test tube may I come in? I wanna talk." I raised my eyebrow at him and opened the door wider. "Shhh, don't wake her.." I said as I took my place next to lightbulb. Fan chuckled.
"Well what'd you want to talk about?" I said. Fan jumped a bit and then cleared his voice. "R-Right uhh—I.." he took in a deep breath. "I think I'm in love..." fan sighed a little. My eyes widen with shock. I was flabbergasted!! But hey I shouldn't be. After all we all have that one or two or more crushes in our lives. I smiled smugly at him. "Ooooh, who is it~?" I snickered. Fan smiled a little nervously.
"Mind telling me?" I asked. Fan shrugged. "Uhh, you don't have to if you're not comfortable." It was up to him, but it'd be nice to know anyway. "Uhm..you really want to know?" I chuckled a little, "Yeah I guess.." fan closed his eyes and breathed deeply. "Okay.. um, it.. it's trophy.." wait...wha t? I stared at him in absolute complete shock.
And said aloud the only word I had in my mind:
"WHAT??!"
Fan jumped and nearly fell off the bed, I shouldn't have shouted, I could've woken lightbulb. But I had a real good reason—why—in all of people in this entire hotel—did fan have to choose trophy? Trophy was the literal thing that comes into my mind when I think of the word: a**hole. And I'm not joking. What does fan even see in him? Sure people can change, but I've made a theory that people like trophy, will never change even if they try.
"I-I'm sorry for yelling.." I said softly. Fan shrugged, "it's okay, it's not your fault you have a reason.." even fan himself knew that trophy was an a**. "Why do like him? Not to be rude.." I frowned. Fan looked away, he seemed a bit distracted. "I-I don't really know-he just is...kind of dreamy I guess." I rolled my eyes. I didn't really trust his decision, "I don't know fan." Fan sighed, "it's alright.." fan sucked in some air through his teeth. I just looked at him...I was concerned. "I've got things under control.."he continued. I just shrugged..
"Umm, alrighty I guess." But things were not alrighty...at all. Fans' new crush seemed to bring a bad feeling towards me. It was like some kind of bad omen..
