~Hoodie's P.O.V.~

I woke up the next morning with arms around me and I was about to slap whoever it was until I realized it was Masky. I smiled. The events of the previous night were so vivid yet vague in my mind. Everything was too perfect for words. I laid there, thinking about his smile when my absolute favourite song came on! Oh my fuck!

I like you. Girl, you don't got nothin' to prove to me... I know that times have been rough for the both of us but I'll pray for a change ... You see this world has lots to offer but in time it will go dark and if this love is what we say it is; I'm sure we will go far... And with a girl as sweet as you... There's not much else I can do but fall for you...

I felt my heart start to flutter and I grinned. I love this song so much. I slowly scooted over to where I could look at the bedside clock.

7:38 a.m.

I sighed, happy because I get to spend at least twenty more minutes in his arms. I nuzzled my nose into his neck and felt him twitch.

"Hoodie..." He groaned, holding me tighter. I jumped at the sudden pressure but loved it nonetheless. I giggled and held him closer as well, taking in his scent. He still smelled faintly like vanilla but all traces of lavender were replaced with the smell of fabric softener.

"G-Good morning, Masky." I cooed.

"Mornin' Hoods..." He mumbled sleepily.

I assume he didn't want to get up but we had to sooner or later. I grabbed his boxers and snapped the waist band, giggling.

"Oww! What was that for?" He asked, shooting up and looking surprised.

"We g-gotta get up soon," I said softly, stroking his cheek.

"You have such soft hands," He answered back, leaning into my hand. I smiled and placed a kiss on his nose.

"You're s-so perfect," I told him lovingly, giving him an eskimo kiss.

"Mmm... No you are. C'mon, Dove. We need to be all couple-ish and get dressed together," He chuckled as he hugged me. I tilted my head.

"D-dove?"

"Yes... You're 'Dove' and I'm 'Crow'. Unless you want something different for your pet name?" He questioned, looking down at me slightly.

"Of c-course not. I love it,"

"And I love you. Now shut up and put your pants on," The brown-eyed proxy said, jokingly. I groaned and got up, grabbing a pair of jeans and Masky's hoodie.

"C-can I wear this? It smells like you..." I said, breathing in deeply.

"Yes, Dove. As long as I can wear this," He said, motioning for my jacket.

"Sure... I d-don't mind."

"You better not," He chuckled as he slipped it over his head. I went over to him and hugged his waist, touching my lips to his nose again.

"I love your kisses," He giggled cutely. I love his laugh so much... I really loved this. Every bit of this is more perfect than I could have even dreamed. This is almost exactly as I had thought of it; Waking up in the morning, cuddling, and calling each other pet names and kisses.

"Wait... what ab-about the others? What if-if they... are h-homophobic..." I questioned, looking at him seriously. I couldn't even begin to imagine how many names I'd be called, let alone Masky. Homosexual slurs and painful taunts rang through my head and I was about to cry, despite being around my favourite person.

I watched Masky think this one through; His eyes darting up and down as if searching for answer.

"Then fuck them," He finally said, shrugging his shoulders. I sighed.

"W-what about... What about M-Master?" I asked, fear present in my voice. I hate seeming like such a whiny baby but Master had a rule about relationships.

"I... I don't know. Look, whatever happens, I am here for you. I'm here for the both of us, no matter what. If he wants to kill us, fine. We'll run away. We'll find a way to get away from all this and maybe... maybe we can live a normal life. But, I swear, I won't leave. Even if we do die... I'll be the first thing you see and you'll be the first thing I see..." Masky explained, putting his hands on my waist. He looked deeply into my eyes, his forehead on mine and our noses touching. I knew he was serious. He only kept eye contact when he was dead serious and I knew it. I knew he was right. I smiled and placed a small kiss on the corner of his mouth.

"I love y-you, Masky."

"I love you too... C'mon. We can't stay in this hell-hole all day. Should we tell them at breakfast or tell just Slendy after everyone goes to bed?"

"T-the latter,"

Masky nodded and kissed my forehead, smiling. We walked out into the hallway after we got dressed and went downstairs, peeking into the kitchen.

Ben was sitting at the table with Jeff as EJ talked to Slender about finances. I felt all of their eyes on me and Masky as we walked in. I then remembered I had on Masky's jacket.

"You two get mixed up?"Jeff asked, raising an eyebrow. I looked towards Masky and he shrugged.

"Just a change... What's for breakfast?" He asked, his gaze downward. I wanted to tilt is head up by his chin and kiss him but that was not happening in front of them right now...

"Cereal in the cabinet, milk in the fridge. Slendy's calculating finances and Jack's helping. No loud noises," Jeff said, surprisingly soft and serious. I guess Jeff had grown up a bit, as if over night. I shrugged and grabbed down two bowls as Masky fished around for the Frosted Flakes. I grinned when he did and I went to the fridge for milk. I loved doing everything together. We were so much better as a team... As a partnership.

As Masky fixed our cereal, I watched EJ as he and The Operator did all this crazy math. I was never good at math but Masky's a genius with it. I was going off into a daydream about working on finances with Masky that involved our first house when he flicked the back of my head and handed me my cereal. We went towards the table and ate in silence, not once looking up from our breakfast. Masky finished first and grabbing my bowl before I was done, making me yelp. He then washed the dishes and dragged me into the living room.

"M-Masky! Where are w-we going?" I cried as he forced me into the front yard.

"We have work to do, remember? We have some coding to go over and I want to finish early so we have time to hang out," He stated, slipping his hand in mine. I looked up towards the sky above me, the dark clouds covering the sun. It's going to rain soon. I felt Masky's grip tighten and I started walking with him towards Rosswood Park.

This is going to be a long day.

~No P.O.V in particular~

"So... who else guesses they're dating?" Ben asked, not looking up from his cereal.

"All of us know, retard," Jeff spat, rolling his eyes.

"Mhm," EJ said, smiling. Jack smiled at the thought of Hoodie and Masky dating. During the time he had to recover from his rendezvous with the green-eyed proxy, he realized that he just wanted him happy. All Jack wanted for Hoodie was to have the person he truly loved and Hoodie finally got his wish. EJ wished he could see the smile on his face when (he assumed) Masky asked him to be his boyfriend/. And, although it's a bit hazy and new, Jack had a thing for The Cannibal Princess upstairs taking a shower.

What was her name? Tracy?No..Oh yeah! Lacy. Lacy Morgan. He smiled thinking of the girl. Maybe this love thing isn't as hard and heart-breaking as he thought it to be and now, it seemed as if his affections for Hoodie were fading. And Fast.

"Hey, Jack," The girl said, smiling as she walked into the kitchen with a towel on her head.

Stunning, Jack thought.

~Masky's P.O.V.~
I can't believe I lied to Hoodie... I feel bad but I know he'll like this. I'd set up an entire day just for us to hang out and be normal, after we finished our coding. Which, honestly, isn't much. I grinned and tightened my grip on his hand, relishing in the feel when he did the same back. I love this. Y'know... I never really pictured myself with Hoods. Yeah, he's uber-cute and really shy and I love that but I never really thought we'd end up together. I digress, I love it. He's everything I could've possibly hoped for.

He's sweet, he's fun, he's kind and warm-hearted. He's familiar and giving. Never once has he thought of himself before anyone else and, to top it all off, he's perfect. He really is; From that ebony hair to those cute, pale little toes. I brought our joined hands to my mouth and kissed his ring finger, as if to hint that I'm going to put a ring there one day. Speaking of rings...

"Mas-Masky?" Hoodie said, looking towards me. His blush was deeply red and I love that colour on him. Perfect... I smiled.

"Yes?"

"I... I pr-probably say this a lot but I l-love you..." He said softly, smiling a small smile at me. I grinned and said it back, keeping eye contact. Ever since I came to grips with the fact that I do love him, I haven't once felt sick. I haven't felt alone or tired either. I feel wired and happy constantly and this weird feeling in my gut feels like I swallowed a jar of bees but I like it. I love it. Ugh, I love him.

I studied my boyfriend thoroughly, taking in all of his features. He never really thought he was cute but he took care of himself. I leaned in close and pu my head on his shoulder, taking in his smell. He likes the way I smell, apparently. He smells a lot like honey-dew melon and... skittles.

"You bastard... You have candy and didn't share?" I joked, playfully pinching his arm.

"You always take m-my skittles though! I never g-get to-"

"Gimme a green one!" I yelled, grinning. My partner (in more ways than one) groaned and gave me a green skittle but not before he placed it between his teeth.

"C-come and get it," He teased, putting the skittle in his mouth. I smirked devilishly and kissed him softly. After I'd gotten my way and he opened his mouth, I acted as if I was going to french kiss him. Ha! All I did was take the skittle and pull away, leaving him wanting more.

"Y-you're so mean,"

"You're so sweet..." I giggled and squeezed his hand as we approached the woods of Rosswood Park.

I enjoy being here. The sun is always clouded over and the whole place is shrouded in a blanket of despair and fear. That's weird... I sighed. I'm not the happiest of people but I'm sure as hell something good with Hoodie. I grinned at my partner once more and led him throughout the forest, clinging to him and whispering little secrets. I never really noticed how one person can make you feel so complete even when you feel like all your broken pieces are missing. I couldn't find the words to explain how much I really needed Hoods and I knew he couldn't either. I just want to hug him constantly and let him see my dreams and love him and kiss him and... I'm acting really dumb.

I noticed Hoodie staring at me as we passed a fallen tree, his green eyes piercing me.

"Hoodie?"

"Y-yeah?"

"I fell in love the moment we kissed, y'know..."

"I-I was in love with you sin-since we met..."

Really?

"Really?"

"Mhm... Since d-day one. I-I had never seen som-someone so perfect," Hoodie said, blushing. What he said struck me. I hadn't realized how long he'd had these feelings toward me nor had anyone ever called me... perfect. I'd never even been normal, to say the least. Ever since I was little, I'd been seeing Him. The doctors my mom took me to all thought I was crazy and none of them ever believed me. Now they all think I committed suicide by hanging and I can't say I miss it. I don't miss that little white room or the needles or the doctors who put me on Aripiprazole to Xanax, none of them helping much. I sighed.

"No, Hoods. I'm far from perfect. You, though... You're perfect," I said, giving him a small smile.

"W-what makes you say tha-that?"

"'Cause you are. You have it all. From silky, jet-black hair to attractive body and adorable feet. By the way, why are your toe nails baby blue?" I asked, chuckling. Hoodie just giggled back and shrugged, knowing that I did that. I hugged him tightly and whispered that I love him in his ear. I sighed and went back to the small shack where he and I code everything.

It's going to be a long day...
