Pico x Keith

Fluffy Angst

-Keith P.O.V-

After getting the living shit kicked out of me I blacked out.
When I woke up I was in my apartment laying on my bed.
Cherry was sitting in a chair, asleep.

Groaning, I sat up and my vision blurred from the pain.
Cherry woke up, " What are you doing? Lay back down!"
"I have to find Pico," I groaned.

"He's laying on the couch."
"Wh..What...how....he was."
"Yea, I know..it was crazy," she replied pushing my shoulders, so I would lay back down.

Recap

Cherry's P.O.V

After Lemon Demon took Keith, I went back to his apartment. I didn't know why, but I thought I could find something to see where they went.

About to head back to my parent's house, Pico burst through the door.

"Oh my gosh, Pico...wait...where's Keith?"

His eyes were glazed over and he walked towards me.

"Your father will pay."

"What...what are you talking about?"
He reached his pulled out a knife and walked closer.

He slashed the knife out, and struck it across my face.

"He will regret the things he's done and the people he's messed with."

Backing away, I grabbed a vase and knocked him over the head with it.
He passed out and fell on the couch.

Immediately after that a cloud of purple formed and Keith fell through it.

End of Recap

~Keith P.O.V~

"You were unconscious and covered in bruises. Two of your ribs were broken, so I carried you to the bed and fixed all I could," she finished.

"Are you ok?!"
She put a hand to her bandaged cheek, "It's fine, I can't say the same for your boyfriend."

"What do you mean?"
"After I knocked him out he started mumbling about being something Lemon Demon and some guy."
" A guy, what do you mean?"
"Well, it was a guy who my dad also messed with apparently, I don't know."

I sat up and held my stomach.
"Sounds like we're going to have a talk with your dad."
"I guess."

"Anyway," she said clapping her hands together, ready to change the subject, " are you hungry?"

"Yep!" A voice from the couch replied.
Pico walked in the bedroom holding his head, "Starving, actually."

Cherry squinted her eyes and nodded, "Yea, I'll go fix some waffles."

As she left for the kitchen, Pico crawled in the bed and laid down.

-Pico P.O.V-
I laid down in the bed and Keith scooted closer  and laid his head on shoulder. Wrapping my arm around him, we fell asleep.

Cherry came in after a few minutes and gently woke us up. We walked into the kitchen and ate the waffles.
We talked and laughed like nothing happened.
Everything felt...normal.

Keith sat next to me and would put his hand on my knee when Cherry said something funny.
It was the cutest habit.
After the meal, Cherry had to leave. We said good bye and Keith and I decided to watch a movie.

We decided to watch The Conjuring.
We laid on the couch, cuddling. Keith would cuddle into my shoulder on the scary parts.
We watched a couple more movies, then decided to meet Cherry for lunch.

What kept eating at me was the fact that we weren't talking about what happened. We're we just planning to ignore everything?
From what Cherry told me, I attacked her and threatened her family.
Keith wasn't saying anything about it which kinda pissed me off.

How could he want to be with someone who made attempts on his life?
How could Cherry even want to be around me?
I could literally kill them both because of Lemon Demon and it's like they don't care.

~Keith P.O.V~

I don't know what to say.
Pico and I were walking down the sidewalk holding hands.
Cherry decided to meet us at a cafe for lunch.

I didn't know how to tell Pico that I was scared for him. He has been through so much and I don't know what to say. What kind of boyfriend am I?

I looked up at Pico.
He was looking straight ahead, lost in thought.
I saw a scar on his face and I looked down.
What do I even say?

We finally arrived at the cafe and saw Cherry waving to us from a booth near the back.

I sat down across from Cherry and Pico sat down next to me, not looking at Cherry.

"I already ordered you two coffees, since you took forEVER," she crossed her arms and playfully frowned.

"Sorry, we were....busy."
She blushed, "..oh.."
"N-No...not like..I didn't mean...no!"
She laughed as our coffees arrived.
We had a good lunch, but Pico barely said anything and refused to make eye contact with Cherry.

When the waiter placed the bill on the table Pico pulled out his wallet, but Cherry stopped him.
"It's my treat," she smiled.
"No...please..it's the least I could do." His eyes met hers briefly.
She allowed him to pay, then waved good bye.

Pico and I left the cafe in silence holding hands.
I looked up at Pico to see tears running down his cheeks.
Rubbing the back of his hand with my finger as we walked to my apartment.

Wordlessly, he threw off his shirt and went to the bathroom.

Should I say something? No, no, no, that's stupid he was just crying. Then I'm going to confront him about being controlled. Yea, that's smart.

I sat on the couch and mindlessly scrolled through Netflix.

Pico came out the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist.
GOD DAMN!
My mouth went dry as he walked in, " The showers all yours."

I watched him as he went into the bedroom.
He came out wearing gray sweats and a black tank top.
GRAY SWEATS AND A BLACK TANK TOP!!
GRAY SWEATS!

He plopped down on the couch and laid his head on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.

I patted his damp hair and wrapped my arm around him, "For what?"
He sat up and looked me in the eye, " I put you in danger so many times, I hurt you and I hurt your best friend, I understand if you—"
"You are my literal everything," I cut him off, " No matter what happens you always come back, stop beating yourself up. Cherry has already forgiven you. If you want, you can apologize to her tomorrow."

He nodded and laid his head back on my shoulder.
We were on the couch cuddling and watching The Office.
I was laying on Pico's chest, his hands were tangled in my hair.
There was a knock at the door.
Pico got up and opened it.
"Senpai?!"
