It wasn't quite time for dinner, so you went to relax in the garden a bit. Having your stand really helped as there was a gardening shop as one of the buildings. You had been tending to the garden whenever you found yourself bored, so it was a nice pastime. You had just finished watering some of the cherry tomatoes before you heard the door to the garden open.

Looking over your shoulder you saw the figure of Diego. He closed the door behind him and approached you. You turned back to taking care of the garden.

"So, today was quite fun, wasn't it?" he stated with glee. You could feel the smirk that he had on his face.

"Yep. I'm glad I got to show you guys around, although the others may have some trouble. Not Pucci, I feel like he'd much better than you." You responded, putting the green elephant watering can to the side so you can pick some cherry tomatoes. You made sure to keep a few low hanging ones for the little kitten.

"Oh? Don't think I have etiquette?" He replied with a scoff. You turned to look at the Dino Man. He had changed into more comfortable clothes, adorning a light-green t-shirt with some khaki shorts.

"Not really. At least you're not Dio, he's an alternate version of you and yet worse at the same time." You stated with a chuckle, turning back to your work.

"You not like Dio?"

"No, it's not like that, he's just... an interesting case." You said standing. You stretched your arms before you looked back at him. He was currently petting Oreo the cat. Standing there, you watched as it laid on its stomach. Diego went to pet it, but not before the bear trap activated and the cat latched onto his hand, biting it.

"OW! Damn cat.." He let out, mumbling the last part so you wouldn't hear.

"It seems that was your first time petting a cat." You said with a chuckle.

"Not my first, but probably my last."

You were about to make a comment before your head suddenly swirled. You clutched at it, almost falling to the floor in pain. What was happening? Your vision went blurry. It felt like you were going to pass out. Everything was too much, you fell to the floor, letting out a sharp breath.

What was happening?

+——+

"(Y/N)?" Diego said, turning and seeing you writhing on the floor.

"(Y/N)!" He shouted, running to you and turning you onto your side. You seem to have passed out, but you looked terrible. He looked away for a few seconds and you had suddenly gotten sick? Were you already sick and hiding it?

He picked you up and you were surprisingly light. It made sense that you were light since you were shorter than that Doppio, but this was concerning. He rushed you inside and ran up to your room, opening your door and placing you on your bed. He didn't see any of the others, so he was confused about what to do.

To try and calm down, he closed the door and decided to look through your nightstand to find anything that could help.

Opening the drawer to your nightstand, he noticed a bottle of medicine. He wasn't sure about it, but maybe it would help. He looked down at you and noticed your eyes were half open and your breathing had turned steady, but you still looked to be in pain.

A sudden thought interrupted what he was doing: why was he so worried about you? You were just holding him at your house. Sure, you had hung out with him and seemed nice, but you were just another one of the pigeons of the world. You could have just abandoned him like his father. But you didn't.

+——+

"Hey, uh, you passed out in the garden. Do you need some medicine or just some rest?" He said, shaking the bottle slightly.

"I'm... I'm fine..." You mumbled.

"Passing out isn't a good thing, especially when you're in pain. What happened back there?" He pressed on.

"I'm not... sure. I just felt sick and..." you paused, not sure about what happened next.

"Well, I carried you back to your room. I didn't see anyone else while coming up, but I did rush, so they could've seen me."

"Did you look through anything?" You asked, concerned he may have found the arrow.

"Only the drawer over here." He said, pointing to the open nightstand drawer.

"Ok.." you said, sitting up. The two of you stared at each other. He had a look of concern that held some contempt. You felt uncertain, about what you weren't sure. It seemed like hours before he stood and simply left the room, closing the door behind himself.

You stared at the door, wondering what had just happened. Looking at the clock, you decided to ignore everything and go and make dinner. You were hungry after all.

+——+

Dinner had gone by peacefully enough. You got some pizza from wonderland that was "homemade", even if you didn't make it yourself. You didn't feel that hungry, so you only had 1 slice while everyone else ate it peacefully. Diego didn't really talk to anyone, he seemed to be lost in thought.

Sitting in your room, you were scrolling through your phone. That was until you got a call from an unknown number. Thinking it of probably just a scam or something, you answered.

"(Y/N)! OH, I FINALLY FOUND YOUR NUMBER!" Screamed the person on the other side of the phone.

"Uh, who is this?" You asked quietly, trying to see if you recognized the number from anywhere.

"Oh, sorry! It's your lovely aunt Mignota!"

Mignota.

You physically cringed at the mention of the name, almost hanging up right then and there.

"Anyways dear, I wanted to talk to you about where you're staying at!" She announced, almost as though her voice didn't give you PTSD already.

"Where I'm staying? I'm staying away from the likes of you." You growled, making sure she heard every syllable.

"Oh dear, no need to be so harsh! I-" You hung up before she could continue. You never wanted someone to shut up more in your life. How did she find your number? This was bad- if she could find your phone number how soon could she find your address? Not only that, but her seeing those 7 buff men in your house might give off the wrong idea.

You immediately blocked the number and shut off your phone for the night. You wanted to go to dreamland and forget about everything that had just taken place.
