Chapter Text
The rest of the day was horrible. He just couldn't stop thinking about.. Two. There was no way X was right! Four had a hard time sleeping. A very hard time. X snored soundly next to him as he stared at the ceiling fan.
He gripped the bedsheets, his heart racing and his face flushed from thinking about this crazy day. Sharing the same fork, them giving him their bow, all the hugging and compliments and..
BEEP! BEE-
Four shut off his alarm, tiptoeing out of bed so X didn't hear. He looked.. surprisingly tidy today. He brushed his hair for once, wore an actually clean shirt, and he just looked happier in general for once.
He grabbed his things, about to leave, but he looked at the pink bow Two gave him that he left on top of his dresser.
..No.
Four quickly got the idea out of his head, walking to the door.
.
.
.
Nevermind.
Four dashed back into the room, snatching the bow and putting it in his hair. He went back to the door, until–
"Four?" Crap. He slowly turned around, to see X looking in the doorway.
"Erm." Four awkwardly stood there, his hand still on the doorknob as he froze in place.
"Where are you going?" X asked. "..Out to see Two?" He added teasingly. Four blushed again, about to kill his sibling. "I'm going anywhere you aren't!" He yelled out, flustered, running out the door.
X giggled to themself. "What a dork." He said.

X looked at the long sheet of paper, scanning it while pushing the cart. They were running low on groceries, so he decided to pick some up today. "Milk, eggs, bread, cheese, and.. Lunchables? Yuck." X knew Four added that last one. Why did he even eat those things?
Speaking of Four, he's been acting so strange! It was honestly making X a little worried. Lost in thought, he accidentally bumped into another cart, immediately snapping them out of it.
"Oh my algebra I'm so sorry!!" He immediately apologized, hoping the person infront of him wouldn't be mad.
"Oh It's fine, don't worry about it!" The other person said.
But wait.
That voice is so familiar..
"..Gaty?" X asked, noticing who it was. Gaty blinked, trying to process who was infront of her, before remembering.
"Ohh! X right? It's been so long since I've seen you!"
X smiled, happy to see a familiar face. "What a coincidence! How are things going?"
"Oh, y'know the usual. Eat, sleep, work, repeat." Gaty and X laughed heartily. "Oh, how's Four doing? He's your sibling, right?"
X let out a loud groan. "Don't even get me started!"
Gaty raised an eyebrow. "That bad?"
X put their hands on their hips. "I honestly think he's gone crazy. He said that a cupid struck Two and made them fall inlove with him. Have you noticed anything with Two?"
Gaty's eyes widen at X's words.
"No way! Two's been rambling on and on about Four for days now! It was so sudden, like, they used to NEVER talk about him."
Suddenly, Gaty's phone buzzes with a notification from Two. "Two literally just sent me a photo of them and Four getting ice cream together." She flipped her phone to let X see the photo.
"Hey I know that place! It's only a few blocks away from here." A lightbulb goes off in X's head.
"Hey.. I have an idea."
.

Two sighed happily, gazing into Four's blue eyes. Two had texted Four earlier, dragging him out to this date.
"This is so romantic.. Don't you think so Foursie?"
Two took another bite of their ice cream, strawberry flavored with cheesecake bites in it. Four hesitantly nods, mixing around the chocolate ice cream in his cup. "Uhuh.."
Two scooped up some ice cream onto their spoon, holding their hand out to let Four taste it. "Say ahh~" This time, Four didn't put up a fight, eating the ice cream from their spoon.
X and Gaty were sitting in a bush, looking through the window of the ice cream shop to spy on Two and Four with binoculars (don't FUCKING ask where they got the binoculars from)
"Did Four just eat Two's ice cream? With the same spoon they used?" Gaty points out, squinting through the binoculars.
"I think so..? Hmm.." X was struggling to look through the binoculars. "I think these are broken."
"Um.. X, you're using them the wrong way." X notices this, blushing in embarrassment before flipping them the correct way. "Whoops." They can now clearly see Two and Four, now just chatting about stuff.
"They aren't doing much.. Looks like they're just talking." X states, carefully observing to see if anything crazy happens.
While Gaty and X were doing their spying, Two and Four were eating in silence, enjoying eachothers presence (Though Four would never admit that). He looks up from his cup of ice cream, noticing some on Two's face.
"Two, you have um.. Ice cream on your face."
"Really? Let me just.." They take a napkin, about to wipe it off, before Four stops them.
"No. Let me um.. Do it for you." He takes the napkin out of Two's hand, gently wiping the ice cream off their cheek. Two's face warms up slightly, for they weren't expecting Four to do that. Once all the ice cream is removed, he finally comes back to his senses, his cheeks heating up as he quickly retracts his hand.
"T-There. It's off now." Two giggles to themself at Four's gesture, kicking their legs under the table.
"Hehe! Thank you Foursiee~"
Meanwhile, Gaty and X were freaking out, too shocked to even utter a word.
"I-I- They- F-Four wiped ice cream off Two's cheek!" X finally screamed out, completely estatic.
"NO. WAY. This can't be real!" Gaty squealed, just as excited as X right now. It was until they realized Two and Four were about to leave, as they panicked, worried they might get caught.
"Crap! Do you wanna head to my house Gaty? If we hurry we can get there in around 10 minutes or so."
Gaty nods, as they both quickly run together, luckily not getting caught by Two and Four.
