Chapter Five Part One

Corpse pov:

Holy shit. I don't think I have ever been on a date before. I don't think I'm ready for one either.

I stare in the mirror at myself. God I'm such a fucking mess. I take a shower and get dressed before heading over to my computer.

I don't know why I got all dressed up since nobody is going to see me. I sit down and join the discord call.

"Oh my gosh hi!" She says excitedly. She looks breathtaking in that maroon dress with her hair pinned back.

"Hey," I say with a small smile on my face.

"So I've never actually been on a date before," she starts," well actually once in high-school but I dont think the guy thought it was a date so I don't think it counts."

"Neither have I," I admit," I just want to say before we start that I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship."

"Oh that's fine," she says with a sad smile," we can just say that this is a best friend date then."

"Okay," I say, feeling guilty for making her upset.

"So while I was panicking trying to figure out how to go on a date, I found these questions. They're supposed to help you fall in love or something, but we can just pretend that they're not. I will warn you that some are personal and I completely understand if you don't feel comfortable answering them," she explains.

"Okay. What's the first question?" I ask.

"If your house, and everything you own, were burning, what would you save?" She asks.

I think about it for a minute before feeling a little embarrassed at the answer I came up with. "Don't judge me for this, but it would probably be my Elmo stuffie," I admit.

"Bro same. I love my stuffies. Would it be cheating if I saved a stuffie wrapped in a blanket?" She asks smiling that really freaking pretty smile.

"No, I don't think so," I say.

"Oop this one is kinda dark. If you knew that you were gonna suddenly die in a year, is there anything you would change about what you're doing now?" She asks.

"If I'm being completely honest, yes. There are so many moments when I start to think that I'm ready to show people my face, but then I don't. I think the one big thing that I want to do before I die is let people know what I look like," I explain.

"Well I guess the best way to do that is start with small steps, right? I mean people know what your body looks like, and that's a pretty good start. If you're starting to feel ready to open up than just talk to someone you trust a lot about it. It's better to come out to someone who knows you and loves you than a bunch of strangers first, right?" She asks.

"Yeah I guess that's true," I say thinking about it.

"I think one thing that I would change about what I'm doing today is trying to do things that I haven't been able to do in the past because of anxiety. I guess today is a start, I mean I'm on a 'date' right now aren't I?" She says smiling a bit.

"Yeah, you are. Good job," I encourage her.

"Thanks," she says smiling shyly," if you were to wake up tomorrow with some special ability, what would it be?"

"Oh God I wish I had the ability to mentally and physically heal myself. That way I don't have to worry about all the painful shit that is everyday life," I admit.

She frowns a bit," I'm sorry that you have to go through the things you go through. I wish I had the ability to help you heal as much as possible."

I smile at her kindness," Thank you, Y/N, that means a lot."

"Anytime bub. That's what friends do right?" She asks smiling like a small child.

"Right," I agree. She looks down at her paper that I assume her questions are written on. "Y/N?" I ask.

"Hmm?" She looks up at me.

"You're beautiful," I blurt out feeling my face heat up.

"I-uh- thank you," I see her face start to turn red. "Uhm..anyways... If you were to have anyone over for dinner who would it be?" She asks nervously.

You. If I could have anyone over for dinner it would be you.

Okay so I have had this chaoter typed out for awhile, but I was cnflicted to post .

I legitimately couldn't tell if you guys were joking or if you actually didn't like the whole mommy thing. If you don't then I won't put it in anymore, but then I have to rewrite a few parts before I can publish the second half of this chapter.

Thank you to everyone who commented their Among Us Characters!!! I will be using them in the next couple of chapters :)
