Chapter Text
His hand twitched as he grabbed his vibrating phone. Nooby took one glance and immediately opened it.
Guest!!!: I know this is out of nowhere, but do you guys want to have a sleepover? We could all bring stuff like snacks.
Noob blinked slowly. He immediately and quickly typed a message to the group chat he was in.
Nooby: YESYESYESYES!!!! Where!!!! I'll bring everything!!!!! Hbu Acorn and Bacon!!??? (;
Bacon!!!: Sure! I don't think me and acorn have space at our house tho
Acorn!!! No we don't. We could do it at Nooby's though. But yes we can go. But we both have to run errands so we might be late.
Bacon!!!: WHAT! Do we have to!
Acorn!!!: yes.
Noob could imagine Bacon fighting with Acorn at this moment.
Guest!!!: Okay. Yeah we could do it at Nooby's if that's okay with him.
Nooby slightly pouted in his bed. He was going to type something but just stared at his screen. He quickly started typing again reluctantly.
Nooby: YES!!! I CAN BUY STUFF 4 US IF THAT ALR!!
Nooby stood up from his bed when then all of a sudden a knock was at his door. He rubbed his eyes and he walked. He then felt a sharp headache.
“Ow!- right. I haven't taken it yet.” He mumbled to himself. Before opening his front door he put on a happy smile. He really didn't have to force it when he saw Guest. Guest waved at him, embarrassed. He had his notebook. He wrote something on it but Nooby's vision was slightly blurry. He rubbed his eyes which slightly alarmed Guest.
“Sorry I came here unexpectedly.”
That's what he wrote. Nooby perked up after processing what he just read.
“OH! No don't worry! I was about to ask if you can come over!” Nooby's face flushed in embarrassment. Guest rubbed his side of his face.
Nooby was about to grab something in his pocket- it was empty.
“Oh- Make yourself comfortable! I haven't ate so I'll make uh- something for us both!”
Guest smiled.
“If you haven't eaten of course!” Nooby added looking down. Instead of walking to his kitchen- he ran to his bedroom. He WAS going to lock it but rushed.
“Where is it!- Where!” He mumbled in stress. He felt another headache. And a slight grumble from his stomach.
He finally remembered and ran to his bed. He dug under his pillow.
There it was.
It was a small can filled with medicine?
Like what the pharmacist would give you.
Only one didn't.
He fidgetted around with his clear orange can. He was questioning himself. Then he got a quick memory of being at home. And crying.
Without a second thought he opened the can, grabbing a pill.
Guest came in worried that he wasn't in the kitchen. Nooby fumbled to eat it and dropped it under his bed. He threw his opened can under his blankets.
Guest, obviously confused, grabbed his pen and notebook.
“What happened? Do you need help searching for something? I can help.” Guest showed his notebook to Nooby. He wished he could say it because it looked like Nooby was trying-
To hide something from him?
“NO!- No! It's okay! Don't worry!” Nooby slightly yelled then lowered his voice.
Guest flinched.
“No! I- I'm sorry-” Nooby then saw the worried look on Guest's face. He had just realized what a mess his room had been from looking for some drugs.
Drugs.
Guest would panic- and tell everyone- No. Only Acorn and Bacon. Maybe Lavender and Blue? But still.
“Sorry. I have a… family stuff going on.” He lied.
Guest didn't want to push Nooby forward to stress. Guest felt guilty, knowing that Nooby probably didn't want his help.
But he needed it.
Nooby's face was red.
“I- I have to call someone! I'm sorry! Its- it's private-” Guest nodded and walked out looking back. Nooby then locked his door. Though he didn't hear his footsteps. Nooby thought it was okay. All he needed to was to pretend he was on a call. But then he heard writing and paper being ripped. Then something pure white, coming under his door.
“Sorry to bother you. If you need anything I'm here.” Guest wrote and walked away to the kitchen.
Nooby felt a pang of guilt. It'll be okay.
He picked up all the pills and returned them back into the can. He bent down looking for the one he dropped. Then under all the mess he dug through and found it. He was about to eat it but then- he got a notification.
Acorn!!!: omw! Might take a few hours. We're pretty far.
Bacon!!!: Help that was SO boring!
Bacon!!!: Never again!
Acorn!!!: shut it.
Noob laughed quietly. He put his phone down forgetting what he had in his hand. He dropped it on his way to the door.
“Sorry Guest! I… had an emergency. But it's all sorted out so don't worry!” Nooby giggled. Guest nodded, grateful. Then he grabbed Nooby's arm to pull him into his dining room. He then lifted his arms up as if he was saying: Tadaa!
“Guest! You didn't have to!” Nooby blushed. Guest winked. He made perfectly made pancakes. They were having a good time and chat.
“OH! I'm so excited to see Acorn and Bacon today!!!” Noob chirped in excitement. Guest look all over the house. He saw a slightly messy written note on Nooby's bedroom door.
“Don't forget to eat and drink.”
Nooby was forgettable. Guest knew that. But, why would Nooby need to remind himself to take care of himself? Guest didn't want to think of that. Maybe he's always in a rush. But. For what? Nooby doesn't really HAVE a job. Guest acknowledged that Nooby didn't have much on him. Nooby just did whatever there was, cleaning, dog walking, etc. Guest wanted to ask Nooby, but seeing that he got slightly stressed over him fussing all over him- he clearly didn't want to talk.
Oh how worried the Guest was.
Nooby was worried too. Scared even. Nobody can find out- about his pills- his parents. God he wondered if they really were his.
“Guest?”
Guest perked up in his train of thought. He just realized that he hasn't really been interacting with Nooby. It was his idea after all.
“How come you wanted to do a sleepover?” Nooby said with a smirk.
Guest was about to grab his notebook but then Nooby showed obvious signs of pain.
“Ow!-”
Guest flinched. He dropped his notebook. He the quickly started hovering over him to check what had happened.
“Guest! Please
I'm okay!”
He lied.
