This is the alternate ending for those MaskyXHoodie lovers. Yeah I know I need to get a life and I would, but the problem is that they don't sell them at Walmart.

HOODIE- "Mmm."

I snuggled into the warmth. It felt nice to be laying down in a bed. This had been the first sleep I had that wasn't clouded with the fog of that hall. I almost let myself fall back to sleep, but like I normally do I caught something off. I started thinking. I felt the warmth on my back mostly. I opened my eyes. I was surprised to find that I was... in someones embrace. I looked back slowly. How the-? When did-?

"Um... Uh... Masky?" I asked unsure of how to continue. "Masky?"

I shifted my position. Trying to escape the embrace without waking him. I failed at that though. He stirred.

"Hmm? You awake?"

"...Yeah." I replied quietly.

I tried to kill him. I didn't understand how anyone could be ok with that. He was smiling. I could tell. How? I don't know.

"Well morning sleepy head. It's about time you woke up. You've been out ever since Slendy brought you back this morning."

"Wasn't morning. It was night in the human world." I muttered.

"Psh... So what? It's when we get up and play so it's morning." He replied and I stayed silent. "So you hungry?"

"..." Well maybe a little, but...

"What'd I say?"

"Nothing... I..." I stopped.

"What? Are those cuts bothering you or something?"

I shook my head.

"Then what is it?"

"I..." I bit my lip.

"What?" He pressed and I could tell he was curious now.

I struggled to turn in his tight embrace. Once done I buried my face in his chest.

"I'm sorry."

'What?"

"I'm sorry."

"Are you... crying?"

"I'm so sorry."

I felt his embrace tighten around me.

"Hoodie, please don't. It's alright. It's alright. I promise. Just please stop. I don't like this. I don't like it when you cry."

"I tried to kill you."

"That wasn't you."

"It was me. I was going to kill you. How can you forgive me so easily? It wasn't a small thing that can be forgotten and overlooked."

"You stopped yourself and that's all I need. Now quit torturing yourself with that. Please just stop hurting my friend. Stop hurting yourself."

"..."

"I just want things to go back to the way they were."

"..."

I didn't understand at all. What was his problem?... Maybe he wasn't the one with the problem. Maybe the one with the problem was me. I was the one who snapped after all and I was the one that almost killed him. He was the one who had to wait for me this time. It was reversed and I was always ready to go back to how things were. I was always ready to forgive him for leaving and move on. Now... he was ready to forgive me and move on now that I came back?

"Can't you just be satisfied by the fact that I forgive you?"

Could I be satisfied with that? No. There was no way I could be. No matter what I did I'd always be haunted with the fact that I tried to kill him. The simple fact that I was This close to killing Masky. So...

"..." I shook my head and he sighed.

"You can't, huh? What will satisfy you then?" He asked in a voice I hadn't heard him use before.

It was... I don't know how to describe it. It kind of made me uneasy, but then again everything was putting me on edge lately anyway.

"I promised I'd take care of you. How can we fix this?" He asked me to which I did an awkward shrugging motion in his tight embrace.

"..."

"I have an idea."

He shifted his position slightly. Placing his hand under my chin he gently made me look at him. When did he... remove his mask? I felt my face heat a bit. He had a smile on his face. He moved my mask up blinding me.

"Mask- Mmph?" I was cut off when he pressed his lips to mine.

I blinked in surprise. Now my face felt like it was on fire. I took a second to recover from my surprise to close my eyes and enjoy it. Any hate and anger that I felt toward him in the back of my mind melted. Was this what I needed to feel ok again? I... The empty space seemed to be closed up again. I didn't want this moment to end. I felt his hand on my side. My hand quickly gripped his wrist when he traced his fingers down my side. He smiled under my lips.

"Oh that's right." He murmured before bringing me into another long kiss.

I gripped his wrist tighter. "Masky, don't-" I didn't get a chance to finish.

I giggled when he tickled my side playfully. My grip on his wrist weakened as I tried to escape.

"St-stop. L-let me go." I laughed.

"Oh no. I'm never letting you go again." He replied deviously moving under my shirt to my stomach before quitting and kissing me again.

This I liked much better.

"Does this satisfy you?" He asked quietly after a while.

"Shut up and kiss me."

He smiled and whispered in my ear.

"You don't know how long I've been wanting to do this. I was always too afraid to do this or said this." I felt his hot breath caressing my ear. "I love you."

"Masky." I was unable to say anything else due to my own surprise.

I- I was happy? I was really happy? I was actually happy?

"I love you so much. I guess it hurt both of us to be around each other, huh? I didn't really want to drag you into everything, but I was kind of doing everything I could do just to be close to you. Pathetic, huh?"

"You... love ME?"

This had to be too good to be true. He had to be just messing with me right? I was just dreaming or something. I was going to wake up and none of this was going to be real. My smile dropped. I could feel that empty space coming back. There was no way he loved Me.

"Wh-what? Shit I'm freaking you out aren't I? I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that right away."

I still couldn't see anything, but I didn't need to, to know that he also dropped his happy attitude.

"You love ME? You don't mean that." I frowned.

"I'm not lying."

"..."

"I love you, Hoodie. How can I prove that to you?"

"..."

"Hoodie, please don't go back to that silence. It hurts and I don't like it. I lose you that way. I can't deal with that again. I let you go and everything was all my fault I know, but I won't let you go so easily this time. I won't. Not this time. You can reject me if you want, but that won't change anything. I'll stay by you through it all this time. I'll do what I promised to do and take care of you. I'll protect you. I love you so much."

I could practically feel the hurt in his voice. Did he really mean all of this? I guess I'd just have to take a chance.

"Masky?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too."

Right when I said that he kissed me again. I felt my heartbeat pick up when he started pulling off my hoodie. We both jumped at the knock on the door.

"Masky! Dinner!"

I pulled my mask back down to see his smile right before he put his own mask back into place.

"I guess we'll have to continue next time."

I smiled. "No more tickling though."

"You're no fun... Hungry?"

"Yeah, kind of."
