Prompt: The very tired Needle and Pie find comfort in their lover. Fluff. Humanised. Directly after the split. ((Edit 2023: THIS WAS MADE BEFORE TPOT 1 SORRY!! ALSO?? I MADE THEM REALLY DEPRESSED AT THE BEGINNING??? GOD???))

Needle POV

          Things have been really weird in BFB, well, I guess TPOT now, since Four isn't the host anymore. Half of the contestants are gone and to be honest, not everyone is keeping up very well. While many people weren't really phased, many were and it was showing.

            Me and Pie were comforting some of our friends, I was helping Pin with the loss of Leafy, her best friend and Pie was helping Cake with the loss of Loser. I mean, they weren't dead but they were far away in another land, no one knew where.

             "I just miss him so much.." Cried out Cake. Pie patted his back in a comforting motion, trying to make him feel better. The shorter male loved the yellow cube a lot and missed him greatly. Pie closed her eyes and started saying reassuring words to the very sad boy.

             Pin wasn't really saying anything, she missed Leafy but she really didn't know what to do. She was just kinda leaning on me, sitting and thinking. I've been trying to comfort her for a while now but I was running out of ideas of what to do. It was getting late and we were all very tired. Most of the contestants already went to their sleeping spots around the land and there was barely anyone around.

           After some time of sitting, I saw Coiny approaching us.

           "Hey, guys." He said with a sympathetic smile on his face. All of us looked at him and when he felt the atmosphere around us, his smile shrunk a bit. Coiny sighed and sat next to Pin, patting her on the back. He cared deeply about her and everyone could see that. He looked at Cake and then at me and Pie.

             "Hey, Needle, Pie, you guys can go rest. I'll take care of these two." He said, looking at me. I smiled tiredly and looked at Pie who was yawning. My smile grew even wider when I saw her sleepy face. She was just too cute. I thanked Coiny and both me and Pie said goodbye to our friends. I took my girlfriend's hand and walked away.

              We walked for some time, talking about what we thought about the split. It was a complicated phase of the game and not even me and Pie knew what was going to happen.

               "Do you think everyone is alright in BFB?" I asked Pie with a worried look.

                "I dunno." She shrugged not really saying much. Pie looked in the distance at the stars in the sky, starting to hum a melody that she used to sing to me and Clock.

                 At the thought of the shorter male, I smiled. He was our third lover and a perfect match for both me and Pie. We all completed each other and none of us would want it any other way.

                  "Hey, Pie, have you actually seen Clock today?" I asked her, not remembering anything about the dark blue haired man other then when Two arrived.

                   "He left after everyone was gone, said he didn't really sleep last night and needed some rest and time to process everything." Pie said looking at me with a faint smile.

                    I nodded and continued walking, not saying any words to each other, just enjoying the comfortable silence. After some time of walking, we saw from a distance a little figure, laying on his back against a tree and we immediately knew who it was. Both me and Pie started smiling as we got closer to Clock. He was sleeping, lightly snoring away.

                   "Hey, Clock, baby, we're back." I said as I started shaking him awake. He woke up slowly and looked around in confusion. His gaze stopped on us and he started smiling.

                   "Oh, you're back?" He asked, yawning. "How's everyone holding up?"  He looked at both of us to find the answer in our eyes, which he found almost immediately since me and Pie both looked like we went through war.

                    He sighed "Guess not everyone is doing ok?" He asked rhetorically looking at me and our girlfriend.

                    "No, not really, everyone is on edge." Said Pie looking at him with a pretty emotionless stare, though some sadness could be spotted in her gaze. "I mean, we don't know what's going to happen. We don't even know where the other contestants are." She finished looking down.

                    I patted her back and looked at her with a calming smile, which she returned. "We should rest. It's very late and we've been through a lot." I said looking at both of my lovers with a caring gaze.

                   Clock nodded and shifted away from the tree, giving me enough space to go behind him, laying myself against the tree. He sat in my lap and then signaled Pie to stay in his lap, which she did.

                   We all stayed there in silence, not an awkward one, but a calming and comfortable one. I started cradling my two shorter lovers as they started to fall asleep. After some time, I heard both of them snoring lightly, smiling at the sight that laid before me. The stars, the love, the comfort, it was perfect, truly a feeling I never wanted to forget. It felt like nothing ever happened and everything was normal and familiar, even though I knew the show would be very different from now on. In that moment though, I didn't care. The only thing I cared about was that..

I had the two lights of my life in my arms.
