Work Text:
Two was not having a good day. And Fours remarks weren't helping at all.
They usually ignore him, but they weren't having it today.
Four didn't even comment that much, but the months of their arguments on top of what he was saying now just tipped them over.
They tried to stay calm, key word tried.
But one last comment was just too much for them. They don't even remember what it was, but just his tone was enough.
Their breathing became faster, their brows furrowing. Two clenched their fists, avoiding the blue integers gaze as much as they could.
Sweat dripped down their forehead, trying their hardest to stay calm.
They couldn't.
In one quick motion, their hand raised and..
-
The sound of their hand connecting with the blue integers cheek seemed deafening even X stopped what they were doing.
The silence after was worse.
Everyones eyes collectively widened, no one dared to speak. X stared at the pair, their brows furrowing, looking over to Two, then immediately after to Four.
Two was breathing hard. They weren't looking at Four, or X, or anything. They were staring at the floor.
-(Fours pov)
Four was joking around as usual, throwing snarky remarks at Two every now and then.
He didn't really mean most of it anyway.
Didn't even do it that much today.
Which is why they didn't expect what was coming.
They muttered another comment just loud enough for Two to hear, something dumb.
Something he thought no one would get mad over.
He was wrong.
The sharp pain in his cheek was overwhelmiing. It stung, it was red and there was a mark.
They stared up at Two, breathing hard.
The slap hurt. A bruise was already forming.
He felt small beads of tears well up in the corners of his eyes, but he didnt dare cry infront of them.
So they did the only thing they could think of.
They pushed Two out of his was, running to his room, hoping they hadn't noticed his tears.
-
The sound of Fours footsteps faded as he ran down the hallway and to the elevator.
Two looked back as he ran, their brows folding slightly.
They looked over at X who looked both angry and shocked.
Their eyebrows furrowed stomping over to two.
They weren't much shorter than them, as they stomped over they poked a finger at their chest, yelling in their face. "LOOK WHAT YOU DID! "
Their yell rang in Two's ears as Xs steps faded quickly, trying to catch up with Four.
Two stayed behind, calming down.
What did they just do?! Why did they do it!?
They headed over to the elevator, exiting at the sixth floor, only to be met by X infront of the blue integers door, leaning their ear against it.
The moment they saw Two they were mad again, the gentle look on their face completely gone. They'd never seen them like this.
"LOOK WHAT YOU DID! HE LOCKED HIMSLEF IN HIS ROOM AND I HEAR HIM CRYING! " x yelled at the green number, getting into their personal space.
"I'm sorry I-" Two tried but X cut them off. "NO! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! LEAVE HIM ALONE! " X continued, turning around and going into their own room before they did something irrational.
They probably should listen. They didn't.
"Four? " Two knocked, their voice as gentle as can be.
No answer.
On the other side of the door, Four was curled up, knees pressed against his chest.
He was crying but trying to be as quiet as possible so no one could hear.
His cheek stung, a thin trail of blood going down it due to Twos slight claws.
"Four? " They tried again, even gentler this time. Again, no answer.
There is no way he's letting them in.
"Four..? I'm coming in.. " They tried again but we're cut ofd by Four. "NO YOU'RE NOT. "
Despite the warning, Two entered anyway, shutting the door softly, their face full of apology.
"GET OUT! " Four yelled, kicking his feet around.
Two continued to slowly get closer until they noticed the blood trickling down their cheek.
They never hurt eachother phisically before.
Two shuddered, lowering themself infront of the smaller of the pair.
"Can i look? " Two tried but Four wouldn't budge. "Please? " Still nothing.
"Look, im sorry I don't know why i hurt you. I didn't mean it.. It's okay if you don't want to be around me" Two continued, slowly raising their hand to try and see Fours cheek.
Four flinched, which made Two pull back their arm immediately.
"Oh no, what have i done? " They monolouged. Gently reaching a hand to Fours, which was harshly clamped down on his cheek.
"Show me. Please? "
Finally. Finally. Four let them take his hand off, slowly having it lowered down.
Two gently guided his chin to the side, observing the wound.
"Im really sorry i did this. " Two would say from time to time.
Four still didn't speak. Just stared at them.
In an instant, Two summoned a bandage, a cloth and disinfectant.
"This will sting. " Two warned, slowly raising the cloth they had just applied disinfectant to, bringing it to the wound on the blue ones cheek.
Four winced backwards, hitting their head on the wooden board of his head, causing hin to groand and hold his head.
Two would immediately react, pulling Four back gently. "Oops.. "
They finished cleaning and securing the wound, the bandage glued to his face.
"That should do it. " Two would say, smilling lightly.
Four on the other hand wasn't having it today.
He felt tears well up in his eyes again and tried desperately not to cry.
Two noticed instantly, slowly pulling Four into a hug.
Four melted instantly letting himself cry. He tried to push Two off, but both knew he didn't really mean it.
After a little bit of this, Four calmed down but clutched Twos shirt tightly, leaning against their chest.
Thats when they noticed the soft pecks on the top of his head.
Two was kissing his head the whole time and he hadn't noticed.
He pushed Twos chest to boost himself up, blushing deeply.
"Again im sorry.. " Two said a little sad.
"Whatever." Four finally said, glancing around.
Four, reacting on impulse, practically threw himself around Two, wrapping their arms around their neck.
Two hugged back.
"Thanks.. " Four rasped, barely audible.
"Don't thank me. Im the reason you got hu-! " Two reminded but was cut off. Four pressed a soft kiss to their lips, and Two immediately gripped his waist, deepening it.
As they pulled apart Four leaned against Twos chest. Hugging their chest.
Two caressed the blue integers hair gently, leaning back againsg his bed.
They felt Fours breathing start to slow, he must be asleep.
They gently picked them up, hooking one ar under his knees, supporting his head and back with the other.
Two gently lowered Four onto his bed, then laid down next to him, pulling the blankets over both of them.
Good night.
