Tom Nookie

Explanation

Tom's POV

"Mmh..." I groan as I hesitantly open my eyes. What happened?
"Hm?" I blink twice and turn my head from the soft pillow I laid on. I see my green vest neatly folded to my side. My vision is blurry but I could tell this wasn't my bed... But the fabric seems so familiar... And this sweet scent...
I quickly sit up. Ouch!... My head throbs as I start to feel dizzy.
"Mr. Nook, You're awake!" My heart jumps as I see Ms. Y/n hurry over to me.

Y/n's POV

I rush over to Nook, dropping the wet towel in my hand. He's finally awake!
"Ms. Y/n? Oh my, what happened?" He clutches his head in pain. "You don't remember? Lyle brought you over, He told us something about Redd and some fireworks." I explain. "We were all so worried about you!"
He then looks down and squints as if he couldn't remember. Then it hit him, Nook frowns angrily "That Fox!" He recalls furiously and tries to stand up.
"Mr. Nook, be careful!" I warn. "Agh!" He jerks his leg up and falls back onto the bed. "Don't do that you're still hurt!" I take his leg and gently lift it back up onto the pillow that held it up.

3rd Person POV

Nook looks up at you worriedly. "Ms. Y/n I-"
"Keep still now" you interrupt.
You proceed to slowly remove the old bandage from his left leg. Carefully you press the damp towel on the wound.
"Ah!" He yelps. "I'm just going to clean it a little, it'll be fast." You assure.
He quietly whimpers as you continue lightly wipe the injury. Finally, you finish and wrap the new bandage around his leg. You look over to Nook to notice small tears in his eyes. You could tell it hurt.
"I'm sorry Mr. Nook. I know it's painful." You sit down on the chair beside the bed. "Oh no, no. You don't have to worry about me Ms. Y/n. I'm sorry if I caused you trouble." He chuckles as he tries to hide his tears.
You frown and stood up. "How do you expect me not to worry! I was worried sick! Do you know how it felt when I saw Lyle carry you in!? I thought you were almost DEAD! It's been DAYS since you were unconscious!" You cry.
"Ms. Y/n! I- I'm so sorry!" Nook panics as he reaches his hands out to yours. You grip him tightly.
"I was so stressed Nook! The HAA told me how you didn't know a thing about that STUPID letter, I feel so bad now for having believed it was you! It was all so sketchy, it was so obvious it wasn't you who wrote it! I'm sorry!" You bawl as you let out a downpour of tears.
Nook looks up at you while tears start to stream down his face as well.
"Oh Ms. Y/n, this isn't your fault. I should have known better than to argue with that Fox! When I found out about the letter I was oh so sure you'd hate me! I was just so irritated at Redd for having written that ridiculous Letter!"
"Hate you!?" You look up at him with weary eyes.
"Yes, I-" you cut him off by a tight embrace. He wraps his arms around you as well. You both weep together while hugging each other tightly.
"I don't ever want to lose you Ms. Y/n!" He sniffles.
"I never want to lose you either Mr. Nook." You say wiping away the tears.

*Knock Knock*

You both rapidly part.
Rubbing away your watery eyes you respond "Come in!"
Lyle, Digby, Lottie, and the Nooklings all enter the room.
"Uncle Nook!" They both shout and Run over to Nook. "Timmy! Tommy!" Nook hugs them.
"So Ol' Nook is finally awake I see!" Lyle ruffles Nook's head a little.
"I sure missed teasing you!" He chuckles.
"Mr. Lyle, it's such a relief seeing all of you here again, yes?" Nook nods.
"Mr. Nook! Oh, it's been so lonely at work without you!" Lottie whines.
"It's true! We're sorry if we made you feel bad back at Town Hall. We noticed you left a feeling a little uncomfortable." Digby apologized.
"Oh don't worry yourself, I am much fine now thanks to Ms. Y/n." Nook smiles over to you.
You smile back.

The room fills up in snickers and giggles.
You and Nook look back at them in a confused manner.
"Whatever in the world is funny now?" Nook's cheeks flush pink as he frowns over to Lyle.
"Oh, it's nothing..." Lyle chuckled.
You blush and couldn't help but let out a chuckle as well.

"A-Ahem... Getting back on topic... I still need to speak with Redd about the situation, his horrible actions will not be excused!" Nook claims.
"So it was Redd all along? I should have known..." Lyle nods.
"But how? And why would he do that?" You ask pondering on the malicious letter.

Nook thinks a little...
And then realizes.

"SABLE!" Nook exclaims.
"Sable?" Lyle tilts his head.
"Yes! I could have sworn he said something about having talked to Sable..." Nook explains.
"But she would never say something to harm us." You deny.
"Maybe she didn't..." Digby suggests.
"What do you mean?" Lottie furrows her eyebrows.
"I'm saying we should investigate!" Digby answers slamming his hand on the table.
"You're on!" Lyle cheers.
"No not you Lyle. You'll stay here with Ms. Y/n and Mr. Nook! I and Lottie will go." Digby nods.
Lottie agrees.
"Fine..." Lyle sighs.
"Now wait just a minute-" Nook interrupts.
"Too late boss! I've decided. This is an investigation!" Digby runs out as he pulls Lottie by the hand while Lottie follows behind.

The door slams behind them.

"Those are two crazy kids..." Lyle scratched his head.
"Indeed" Nook agrees.
