Chapter Text
Creak…
Two, noticing the sound of their door but not wanting to get out of bed (despite not actually being asleep), instead called out to the now cracked-open door, “Yeah, what is it?”
They were met with a couple brief seconds of silence before a voice spoke back.
“Hey Two, I know it’s late but… I-I couldn’t sleep…”
It took Two a while before they recognized the voice as Gaty’s. They sat up, still a little confused.
“Okay, uh… do you wanna… talk about it?” Two asked, trying not to sound too awkward.
"Yeah, I-... I guess so." She responded.
Two motioned for Gaty to join them in their bed, which left Gaty hesitant.
"A-are you sure it's okay with you?"
Two nodded, and Gaty reluctantly sat down on the edge of Two's bed, and Two moved to sit down to the left of her. They waited patiently her to speak.
"Sorry for bothering you this late Two, I've just been... kind of worried lately"
"About what?" Two asked, a little confused.
"Well, being eliminated means I don't have to worry about messing up for my team anymore but... I don't know, I've just been feeling a little on edge the past few days. Like something is going to happen, y'know?"
Two nodded. "Yeah. I tried to tell Four this earlier, but I feel like someone- or something- has been watching us. And I'm not trying to freak you out or anything, I just want you to know that I'm a bit worried too."
"... Do you think we'll be okay?"
"I-... I don't know Gaty," Two sighed, "I really hope so because I've missed you since you've been eliminated. It's just... not the same without you."
"Oh wow... uh... sorry, I mean I've liked talking with you but... I didn't know they meant that much to you." Gaty replied, a little flustered.
"I know this'll probably sound cheesy, but thanks for listening to me and being there for me I guess. I really do appreciate it."
Gaty's blush went unnoticed in the dark room, but her shyly looking away didn't escape Two. Two, feeling a rush of adrenaline from their sort-of confession, wrapped their arm around Gaty. She gasped in surprise at the sudden contact, but eventually gave in and leaned against Two gently. They smiled softly in return, feeling comforted and safe by Gaty's presence.
The pair ended up falling asleep against each other, keeping each other company.
