Smg4 woke up sweaty and out of breath.
He sat on his bed, slidding his hand accross his face, trying to calm his panic. He reached for his phone as he felt tears forming in his eyes.
Smg4: U asleep?
Smg3: I wish I was. Tf u want.
Smg4: I had a nightmare
Smg3: Lmao good 4 u.
-" ... "
Smg4 got back in bed sighing and putting his phone away. He really wanted and needed a little comfort from 3 at the moment.
Smg4 closed his teary eyes trying to get back to sleep. But he knew he would'nt be able to sleep for the rest of the night because of this nightmare.
His thoughts were interrupted by his room's door suddendly opening. Smg4 could'nt help but let a not so manly-like scream escape from his mouth by the startle.
-"Oi. Don't scream, it's me, idiot."
Smg4's eyes widened, he sat up on his bed once again. Smg3 approched and sat on the side of Smg4's bed.
-"What- but I thought-
-Well you thought wrong. Now shut up, get back in bed and tell me about your stupid dream. I figured out it was a very bad one, you never text me for that usually.
- ... "
Smg4 stayed silent a few seconds, searching his words and looking away unable to hold eyes contact with his nemesis.
-"Well... Remember back when Peach's castle was falling apart ?
-Yeah.
-I..."
He paused to look up at Smg3. He was listenning carrefully.
"He cares".
The thought immediatly affected Smg4 and he looked back down to prevent Smg3 from noticing the tears coming up again.
-"I uh I had to choose between saving you or my "perfect" video...
-...
-In my dream, you never reminded me that we were friends. So I ended up choosing the usb over you... I-I left you to die...I...I killed you...
-Hey- Take it easy-"
Smg4 faded into tears from the guilt he felt. Smg3 sighed nerviously and joined Smg4 lying down in the bed as well.
He took Smg4 in his arms, carressing his hair gently in an attempt to comfort him.
-"It was just a dream dumbass. I'm here, see ? I'm alive."
Smg4 was first surprised but then lets himself go onto his friend's arms, just being glad that he was here.
Smg3 tried his best to be comforting to his friend, he never got to comfort friends since he did'nt have any, but all he knew is that he wanted to here for Smg4.
Once Smg4 calmed down a bit, Smg3 wiped his tears and they both stayed in their awkward yet meaningful hug.
Smg3 pulled away after a moment to talk.
-"So uh, 4. I have a question...
-Yes?
-...What if I really never reminded you that we were friends..? Do you think..?
-...Yes...Heh, that's actually why this nightmare affects me that much.
Since I was possessed for weeks already, even out of the possession I was still a little out of my mind. Knowing I didn't came back completly to my senses, I would have probably choose the thing I was obsessed with over you...
-...Makes sense.
-Are you mad at me?
-What?! Why would I be, idiot? I'm the one who asked you. I can clearly see you're affected by this plus you're being honest so I appreciate it."
Smg4 smiled gently. Smg3 looked away sightly blushing. Smg4 thought for a second then asked :
-"...Can I be completly honnest with you, 3?
-Go on.
-I...like you. Like a lot...If I had my mind clear back to Peach's castle, I would'nt have been hesitant and would have saved you immediately, I swear ! I felt like this for a while actually but-"
Smg4 was interrupted by Smg3's hand grabbing both of his cheeks to make him unable to speak. Smg3 was now nothing but a blushing flustrated mess. It clearly took him by surprise.
-"S-Shut up... I get it..."
Smg3 started to bring closer Smg4's face from his.
When Smg4 realised that his "friend" was initiating a kiss, their lips were already almost touching.
He could have pulled away.
But he did'nt.
Once their lips met, Smg3 squirmed at the sensation.
Smg4 put his hand on Smg3's chest and felt his heart beat fast.
Smg3's kiss was brief but passionate.
When he pulled away Smg4 immediatly initiated another loving one by pulling Smg3 closer. Through their lips they felt each other's attraction for one another that has been hiden for years.
While their lips were intertwining, Smg4 started gently using his tongue. Even tho Smg3 was surprised, he copied him trying to keep up with him and not fail their first "real" kiss.
Before they could kiss a fourth time, Smg3 interrupted.
-"Don't get too clingy now. It's late. Go to sleep, I think that's enough emotions for tonight.
-Ah- Oh right you're right ha ha...Is it too much to ask you to stay..?
-I give you an inch you already want a mile huh.
-Please?
-I did'nt say no. I was too lazy to get up anyway. Now shut up and get some rest."
Smg4 smiled reliefly.
They got into a more comfortable position to sleep and eventually ended up falling asleep very quickly.
They both were glad to have each other and even if their relationship was still a bit unclear, they liked what they had. Most importantly, they liked each others.
