“Fan, I'm canceling movie night.” Paintbrush groaned as they flopped into bed.
“Awh, really? What's going on, Painty?” Fan asked as he looked up from his blog, mid post.
“I'm dying.” Paintbrush groaned dramatically.
“Rough. You want something to help?” Fan asked as he stood up to go break the news to Lightbulb and Test Tube.
“Lightbulb… she's so warm… and cuddly…” Paintbrush replied loopily. Fan was losing them and fast. “Mmh… love Lightbulb.”
“You got it, boss.” Fan gave an awkward finger gun before scurrying off.

“And that's basically it.” Fan swung the door open, Lightbulb and Test Tube following behind him.
“Hm. It's cramps.” Test Tube said immediately. “It's their time of the month.”
“Why do you know that…” Fan asked, face slightly flushed from the given information.
“Oh, we're synced. Also, I keep track of everyone's cycle.”
Fan and Lightbulb shared a cringe.
“Anywho! Lightbulb, go snuggle.” Test Tube shoved Lightbulb forward to Paintbrush's bed.
“I'm just what the doctor–” Lightbulb started, but was immediately pulled down to cuddle. Paintbrush held her in a vice grip and gave a soft purr.
“My Lightbulb.” Paintbrush nuzzled her neck tiredly.
“Yeesh, you're not usually this out of it, Painty.” Lightbulb patted their hair gently.
“Oh, that happens sometimes. Extreme blood loss does… that… sometimes.” Test Tube explained as she sat behind the snuggling pair. “Paintbrush, may we join in?”
“Yes. Get down here.” Paintbrush pulled Test Tube down and beckoned Fan over with grabby hands. He happily obliged and cuddled up behind Lightbulb. “Mmh… warm…”
Paintbrush passed out shortly after the statement and the other three shared a look.
“They're so cute.” Lightbulb whispered before kissing Paintbrush's forehead.
“Agreed.” Test Tube and Fan replied in sync.
Lightbulb was the next to fall asleep, given how she's always been quick to shut off her brain. Fan and Test Tube locked eyes, then locked hands. Fan nuzzled into Lightbulb's hair, and Test Tube gave the spot behind Paintbrush's ear a little kiss. Out went Fan.
Test Tube stared at her partners sweetly before giving each a soft peck on the cheek. She snuggled behind Paintbrush one more time, then passed out on their back.
