A Strange Declaration (SCP-035 x SCP-049) [Finished]

Chapter V: "Rare situation"

A new day was passing at the foundation, there were murmurs all over the place as SCP-173 would be tested and the D-Class were already being taken to its cell, the researchers were watching through the cameras and the guards giving the instructions and orientation brochures, the doors were opened, the subjects entered and there was the concrete statue.

The doors were closed but they were reopened.

-Uh... we seem to have a problem, the door controls are not responding to any of our attempts to close them. Please approach SCP-173 to continue testing and--- -the guard outside the cell was interrupted by a loud, sharp sound as two of the D-Class were attacked and the strange creature immediately approached him, his attempts for defending himself with bullets were useless and he suffered the same fate as the previous ones.

The only one who was left saw everything and scared he ran towards where the others were, he realized that there was the same creature ready to face two security members who were preventing him from passing.

-I'm going to blink, don't take your eyes off him. - said one.

-Quiet, I keep seeing it. - answered the other.

Not even five seconds passed when a shooting was heard and then both disappeared at the hands of the statue, fearful for his life, the D-Class had to go down the stairs and continue on the same path since there was no other way out.
After some time exploring, he came across 035 pretending to be someone who needed help.

-Oh, thank god someone finally found me! You see, this mask got stuck in my face and I need medical help, could you open the door to this cell so I can get out? I know the way to the quickest exit and I can get you there. - he said trying to sound as sincere as possible but the other said "no" shaking his head.

-What?! What do I have to do to make you believe me?
(sigh) Well, behind you there is a door with a code, it is a closet that has things that will help you. The pass code is 5-7-3-1,  got it? - The subject followed the instructions of the SCP, saw that it was true and proceeded to release it.

-I wasn't really going to take you with me, you'd only be a burden since you can't trust me, I'll just tell you that the fastest exit is Gate A and I hope I won't see your face again. - said the positive mask leaving his cell while the D-Class was perplexed by the situation, it was very strange but still he had no expectations of receiving help from anyone and continued on his way without further ado.

Meanwhile 035 took the opportunity to head towards the 049 containment cell.

-Knock Knock. - He said jokingly as he opened the door.

-Oh, I see you came again. I am happy about that. - the plague doctor replied somewhat nervous as he closed his notebook to receive his friend.

-How good, hehe. And tell me, did you discover something new? Last time it seemed like you were close to a conclusion. - Asked the mask with enough interest to hear the answer.

-Not yet, I've been distracted and I can't focus on my research, I'm still the same as before and I'm somewhat frustrated, I feel like I'm going around in a circle. As strange as it sounds, I feel better when I'm with you. - added 049, putting on something blushing.

-That must be because you have the best friend of all, don't you think? - said 035 resting his arm on the other's shoulder.

-Eh ... could it be ..? - He replied even more nervous than before.
