For the rest of the day, Fugo stayed in bed. The next day, with a little help from Gold Experience, he was allowed by Bruno to get up for a bit, to get some fresh air. As he awkwardly limped into the hallway, he saw Narancia. Instead of coming over though, he just smiled at Fugo and turned away. Fugo wasn't about to have Narancia ignore him all over again though. "Narancia, come join me!". He could see Narancia's shoulders hunch as he cringed. He then slowly started walking over to Fugo. "Hey Fugo, what's up?". "I just wanted you to join me while I go outside, if your busy that's fine". Narancia considered this for a minute, ultimately deciding to join Fugo. They walked out into the garden together, sitting down at the table.

They sort of just sat there for a bit, but eventually Fugo had had enough. "Narancia, we can't just ignore this forever. We have to talk about this". Narancia looked up at him, confused, until Fugo elaborated. "Narancia I know what you said. You cant just kid your way out of this". Narancia seemed to shrink back, and despite being a year older than Fugo, Fugo thought he looked just like the small little boy he had saved those years ago. It was at that time that he realized he truly thought of Narancia differently. When he saved Narancia, he had no idea why he did it, he just did. Now, he didn't just like Narancia as a friend or even just had a crush on him. He loved Narancia, and he knew deep inside that Narancia loved him back. So when he leaned across the table to kiss Narancia, nothing seemed wrong. Narancia didn't fight it, in fact he leaned forwards in response. They lingered for a moment, before Fugo leaned back across the table.

Narancia stared at him, then look guilty. "Yeah, you caught me. I lied." Is what he said. "What you heard, I said it. And it was the truth, too. I really do feel that way".

It was at that time, Fugo realized, he was feeling actual happiness for the first time in months. Ever since he got back from that mission, something had been missing from him. And now, that something was there. He grabbed Narancia's hand, and led him back inside.

The next day, Narancia came to visit Fugo early. Mista had accepted the fact that he wasn't interested. Narancia brought Fugo some toast he made, of course it was burnt since Narancia had no idea how to use a toaster but hopefully it was the thought that counted. He walked in, and Fugo was still asleep. Narancia liked to look at Fugo as he slept, he was a lot less scary, since he couldn't yell or stab people with forks. Just as he sat down, Fugo began to wake up. "Hey Fugo, I made you some toast. It's a little burnt, but I hope you start feeling better soon!". Fugo smiled at Narancia, still feeling happy despite his injuries. He would be better in about another day or two thanks to Gold Experience.

After a while of talking about how they slept, or if they were hungry, ect, Fugo got an interesting question from from Narancia, one that despite his IQ he didn't quite know the answer for.

"Fugo, what are we?"

The question had baffled Fugo, he had been both distracted and trying to think rationally since yesterday that this never even crossed his mind. At first he was confused, not knowing how to respond, but then he became happy again. 'He must really care about me to ask that.. he must really mean it'. "Well, what do you want to be Narancia? I don't want to force you to be something you don't want, more or less than what we are." Narancia considered this, then looked up. "Fugo, I really think I love you. Could we go out maybe? Like your my boyfriend or something?". This seemed like one of those adorable little boy Narancia moments. "If that's what you want then yes! Do you want to tell the others?". Narancia immediately looked scared, but eventually nodded yes.

Once Fugo had finished his toast, they walked out into the living room together. Bruno, Giorno, Abbacchio, and Trish were all on the couch. Mista was still asleep. Narancia stepped forwards, then shrunk back. Fugo then took the lead. "Guys, we decided it would be best to tell you, me and Narancia are together now.

Giorno smiled and congratulated them, Trish also was happy for them, though Abbacchio frowned while handing Bruno a 20 dollar bill. Bruno smugly took it and turned to them. "That's great guys! I had suspected this would happen eventually". Fugo was slightly annoyed that Bruno and Abbacchio had made a bet, and dealt with it so openly, but it couldn't possible outweigh his other happiness. And with that, he headed away to plan his day with Narancia.
