Chapter Text
You practically felt every bone in your body aching, you’d been sitting on your bed, slouched over your laptop for what felt like hours. The noises of the tv played soft in the background while Unpleasant was laying on your bed, upper body leaned on the headboard, legs crossed. You turn your head to look over at him to see him not smiling for once, now he just wore a resting face. You thought it was funny that you'd never seen his expression normally. He now looked at you, giving you a better view of his face. You look at the line that is his mouth, then his weird multicolored hair that looks connected to his body in a weird way. You wouldn't say he looked bad just wei-
Andddd you were staring.
Unpleasant looked at you before creasing his eyebrows and smiling, “are you trying to rizz me or something? You're looking at me how I look at gyatts.”. It took you a good couple of seconds to process what he was saying, “what? Yes?? I MEANT NO?!? Stop it.” you said in rapid succession, red slowly crept up your face. He then loudly chuckled which died into giggles. “I was joshing around Y/N.” he laughed again. Honestly you’d had no idea why that made you so flustered. You figured you’d stew on that later. You check the time, it's 8:32, shaking your head slightly violently you replied “uhm yeah my bad… uh I guess we can do something else.. Only for like an hour and a half though. I gotta get up early.”. “Sweeeeeetttttt you got anything sour?? I would drink a grimace shake from Ohio for some gummy worms right now." he moves to lay on his stomach next to you and your computer, once he positions himself he begins kicking his feet. You think about it for a moment before you light up like a lightbulb and go to the kitchen in your house. You open your cupboard and reach for your basket of candy, setting it down and you begin to root around in it, grabbing a bag of Trolli gummy worms, Swedish Fish, and some Sweet Tarts. You quickly go back to your room hopping on the bed grinning at Unpleasant. His face lit up like a Christmas tree, he smiled wide before grabbing them from you and practically ripping the gummy worms up and emptying the bag in his mouth. Your knees dropped to the bed and your arms went to your side, a face of sorrow appearing, “dude what the fuck I wanted some of those you owe me like 4 dollars.” You said to unpleasant. “Sucks to suck.” he said, mouth full of gummy worms still chewing. “Whatever, no Swedish fish for you then man. Greedy ass motherfucker.” you whispered under your breath. Unpleasant chuckled.
Unpleasant had now gone back to his original spot and position on the left side on your bed. You crawled over his strange moist legs to get to the other side of the bed, now mirroring his position aside from your legs not being crossed. You reach for the remote before hesitating. “...What do you wanna watch?” you asked him to look at him. “Probably funny TikTok compilations on Youtube I don't know.” he said resting face back looking at the tv again. “God he is such an Ipad kid” you thought to yourself. “Uhh do you like any movies?.” you say opening the bag of Swedish fish, turning to him before popping one in your mouth. “The emoji movie was pretty fire, maybe boss baby or something that's probably on nuttyflix.” you looked at him open mouthed, squinting your eyes. “Dude for one, what the fuck is nuttyflix? For two what the fuck is wrong with you?” you said bewildered. “Y/N I never usually get to watch movies unless it's on Kasper's computer and they just looked the most colorful,” he completely ignored your first question. “Whatever floats your boat man, I’ll find something on Netflix that isn't made for literal 6 year olds.”
Instead of actually watching a movie that night, the two of you just ended up scrolling on Netflix, Hulu, and Max, laughing, arguing, and just talking back and forth. It was probably the longest and most you had talked to somebody in a hot minute. While also being some of the most funny and interesting conversations.

You had awoken, room still dark, to warmth mostly all around you, your back had been to something but in your half awake mind you didn't really care. Whatever was there was warm and comforting so in your head you could have given less of a shit. You got closer to whatever it was and drifted back off to sleep…
-
Waking up, you opened your eyes to the light seeping in through your window, you sat up in bed stretching your arms out and letting out a yawn. Looking to the left side of the bed, unpleasant was nowhere to be found. “Fuck… guess i accidentally broke rule fucking 2 already.” you thought, putting your hands to your head and sighing.
“Unpleasant?? Unpleasant!?” you shouted. “Y/N??? Come check this out!!” you heard from the kitchen. Oh fuck..
“Unpleasant Gradient, what the fuck is this?” you said looking in horror at some kind of batter all over your counters, egg shells, spilled milk, and a half open stick of butter that looks like it had a bite taken out of it are also present, as well as your sweet tarts being there… “I made pancakes… WITH SWEET TARTS?? ISN'T THAT AWESOME!!!!” you looked at a plate with disgustingly colorful and burnt pancakes. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” you say eye twitching. He laughed “what's right with me!” he said with a big bright smile, still laughing. You sighed before having a different plate full of surprisingly normal, other than being slightly burnt, pancakes shoved in your face. “I made you some because I figured you wouldn't love the sour ones..” he looked at you with an almost sweet smile with the pancakes held out. You grab them and smile at him, it’d been a while since somebody had done something like this for you. Honestly it felt really good. You and Unpleasant sat down at your small dining table and began to eat. He drenched his toxic waste pancakes in syrup and basically just dumped the plate in his mouth. You just looked at him weird before eating yours with a fork and knife.
After you and Unpleasant had eaten you hopped in the shower and basically got ready for company. You cleaned up the mess Unpleasant had made while making him clean the dishes. He bitched and moaned about it for a good couple of minutes but begrudging ended up doing it. After you’d cleaned up you lit a candle and sat on the couch next to Unpleasant who had gone straight there after dish duty. You checked your phone, 1:37, Lampert got off work at 1, but he also did say he had to grab some stuff for the window. “Unpleasant, Lamperts about to be here so act right. Don't fool around, he's helping us for free. Sit on the couch and minimal communication okay?” you said pointing and glaring. “Sir yes Sir.” he said, mock saluting.
Shortly after this conversation, you hear a short and soft knock at your door, you stand up and quickly walk to the door. When you open it a lamp with a silly smile. “Hello. “ you said smiling back, you hug each other briefly before opening the door inviting him in. “Thank you for coming on short notice, I don't even know how I’d begin to explain this to my landlord.” Lampert then stopped and looked at you with a smug knowing smile, “explain what?” he said. You then realized how that had definitely sounded to Lampert, becoming flustered you tried to explain “I-I meant that uhh, uhm that it's a hard thing to explain.. Uh people don't usually.. bump into windows.. that hard.. Uhhh”. Lampert laughed heartily and looked at you. “It’s fine Y/N, tell me about this “friend” of yours anywa-'' he looked over to the couch to see Unpleasant on the couch with his hands in his lap, giving a smile. He almost looked like an eager puppy. Lampert looked at you with the most shocked and disgusted face you’d ever seen him make before.
He pulled you into your room by the arm “Y/N.. who the fuck is that?? What is that?? Why is it…augh.. So.. disgusting.” you creased your brows and crossed your arms. “Well that was fucking rude.”. “Sorry sorry… but Y/N he’s- don't tell me that's your boyfriend.” he looked at you seemly more horrified then a moment ago. “He’s not my.. Whatever just.. Try to be nice to him… for me.” you said. He looked at you for a couple more moments before sighing. “Okay… uh I can try…”.
You then both left the room, Lampert surprisingly went over to unpleasant. “Nice to meet you… uh..” he didn't know Unpleasant's name. Unpleasant began to speak, “people call me Unpleasant” he says still smiling and all eager. “Uhh, nice to meet you Unpleasant.” he held out his hand which Unpleasant took and shook violently. “Erm, Excuse me, I have to use the restroom.” you then watched as Lampert almost frantically ran to the bathroom. You then heard the sink turn on, you figured he’d be washing his hands for a good while.
“Well I think that went really well!” Unpleasant said grinning. You looked at him with a strained smile on your face, trying not to laugh from how purely just obliviousness Unpleasant shows. “Yep. you did well Unpleasant.” you looked at him sweetly.
-
You now helped Lampert carry up all the shit to fix your window up the stairs and to your room. This was already the second, and hopefully last trip you’d need to make. The two of you had set your stuff down on the floor next to the window. “Y/N, why was he moist?? God I can't imagine home many germs and grime that dude must have embedded in his skin he's so disgusting.” you laughed at this and lightly punched him, “Lampert I said be nice”. You then made the move to sit on the edge of the bed kicking your legs.
The room was quiet aside from Lamperts power tools making loud noises every once in a while, till Lampert spoke, breaking the silence. “So, Y/N does Kasper know about your new… uhm “friend”?” he turned to you. “No, I mean, he knows who he is just not that he lives with me.” you replied to Lampert. Lampert stopped what he was doing for a moment. “He lives with you!?!”. “Fuckkkkkkk” you thought. Giving him an unsure face you continued “uhhh yeah he's like, kind of a roommate, I'm letting him live here, as a favor to… somebody.” you had replied in half truths, I mean technically this was a favor to Kasper, he wasn't having to deal with Unpleasant anymore, he just didn't know about it. “Okay Y/N you don't have to lie…” fuck you were so busted, “I won’t pry, it really isn't any of my business, but I'm not going to judge you for having a weird boyfriend…” you sighed out in relief realizing he just thought this was some sort of weird secret boyfriend thing. To which Lampert took as you admitting he was right, he laughed before continuing “Fork in a kitchen Y/N, you two are so obvious, especially with the window being this fucked up i figured you two were up to some less than delicate “activities”. But Y/N I’M not going to tell Kasper or anything, I just wanted to know if you're happy and safe with this guy” he said, setting down what he was holding and going over to you. “He's no-'' you thought for a minute, he just said he wasn't going to tell Kasper about it, maybe it would be better to tell a couple white lies. “...Sorry for lying, I just… didn't want you to judge me, and you know how overprotective Kasper gets.” you said trying to keep a straight face, Lampert laughed at this, giving you a knowing smile before hugging you. “Why don't you tell me about the two of you then?”.
It was now 6:30, fixing the window took a lot longer then you had expected, but that could have also been because the entire time he was fixing the window you guys were chatting, mostly just Lampert asking about you and Unpleasant's relationship, and you either giving vague couple word answers before changing the subject, or answers that seemed so genuine it surprised you. It's probably just because you hadn't had much human interactions, but whatever, Lampert was believing you for now so that's all that mattered. Lampert and you walked out of the room laughing loudly, before you looked to the couch to see an Unpleasant balled up on the couch snoring. You both immediately quieted down, you looked at him on the couch, he looked so comfortable it was honestly a very sweet and adorable scene. “Ew Y/N stop looking at him like he's your new puppy and walk me to the door.” you decided to ignore what he was saying, shaking your head with a smile and walking him to the door. “It was really great to see you Y/N and again, keep me updated on you and him. I miss talking to you and I want you to keep me posted.” you looked at him, hugging him before replying “ yeah yeah I’ll be sure to text you if anything happens.”. “And please don't do it against a window next time, I won't help you again if that's the case.” he said, pulling out of the hug giving you a jokingly stern look. Red crept up your face, “again, haha, not what happened.” you replied nervously. Chuckling Lampert walked out of the door, not without letting out a “goodbye, see you later.”. You watched him close the door, letting out a sign you walked over to Unpleasant, ready to wake him up, but you stopped for a moment, before changing your mind. You went to your room, grabbed a blanket, and draped it over Unpleasant. You smiled at his now covered form.
You walked to your room before throwing yourself on your bed and groaning in your pillow. Today was a lot for you, between the stress of basically having to lie about a relationship and the other stress and slight anxiety at the back of your head telling you Kasper's was going to find out made you feel utterly exhausted. You turned on your back before fishing out your phone from your pocket. Checking your notifications you see 3 unread messages from Kasper.
“G3ss wh4t Y/N”
“4ft3r u l3ft 1 h4v3nt s33n th3 gr0ss gr4d13nt guy 0NC3!!! :D”
“1 c4n f1n4lly sl33p”
You smiled, at least somebody had a good day.
“Really? Kasper, that's fucking amazing. Glad he's not bothering you anymore."
You powered your phone off, figuring you’d reply later. You honestly felt bad for Unpleasant, you had kind of felt like everybody ragged on him all the time regardless if he realized it or not. Sure sometimes he could be pretty obnoxious and greedy but under that he was just a genuinely funny and sweet guy. He’d done more for your mental state than half the people you knew had your entire life. You really had just enjoyed having him around, and the dynamic you too just worked really well together. Everybody's hatred for him just didn't add up to you.
You figured that you really wouldn't mind being in this fake relationship with him for awhile, as long as you got to be happy with somebody, and Kasper was happy NOT to be with this somebody it was a win win…
Unless Kasper finds out who the somebody who's making you happy is.
