Can't Help But Want More(cross-uploaded)

Massage

Victim, Victim, Victim... How did Second feel about Victim?

Well, his first impressions weren't the best. Far from it. Why did they do all this? Kidnap them, torture The Chosen One, lock them away, all for what? To kill Alan? Alan Becker? Not only would that be next to impossible, but what did they even have against Alan?

But when Second found out? When Second found out about everything; everything Alan had done in his past to the stick figures before Second...? They understood.

Which is why, when they finally got the hang of their powers, when they had Victim cornered, when there was no one to take them down, Second forgave them. If Victim wasn't given a chance to live in the beginning, if they never got to experience life to its fullest, he would give them the opportunity now.

Second then felt bad for Victim, when they first moved in with Color Gang on the desktop, when they were still afraid of Alan, Second did their best to help make Victim feel comfortable. And after some time, they started getting used to just about everything, not exactly the Alan and living in a monitor part, but Victim got used to it as much as they could.

Then when Victim began socializing a bit more, when they could crack some jokes with the others and even get into this whole "Minecraft" thing, Second grew a warm feeling for them. It felt the same as the affection they had for their friends, nothing else.

But over time, it started feeling stronger each time Second would see Victim genuinely smile, when they got really focused on something they would do, when they simply looked Second in the eyes-

They've never felt this strong about someone before and it took until Alan mentioned his wife that Second found out about romance. But that couldn't be it, people need more than a month to fall in love, whether by accident or not, right?

Like Green and Purple, they took a while to officially get together!... But they only took a long time to confess, they already started crushing on each other by the time the war ended.

Yellow and Blue are no different. They were crushing on each other ever since they first met, it just evolved over time until they got the courage to confess.

And from what King has told them about Gold's mom, they saw each other and decided to try and date from the start just because they each thought the other looked hot. And they hit it off!

But even if Second had a crush on Victim, that doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care about dating them, he just wants to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible and be by their side as much as they want!... Even if Victim looks so adorable and happy sometimes that it makes Second want to pull their face in for a kiss- Woah! Who said that??

"Is that massage still available?"

"Huh? Yeah, of course, but.. Why now?" It was half an hour away from twelve in the morning, everyone was asleep (surprisingly).

Victim looked down and began swirling a strand of hair, messing it up a bit as they spoke. "Your friends are here all the time, if I were to wait until they were gone entirely for a massage, my back would actually snap like a twig.."

Right, Second has noticed Victim's slouching tendencies, plus the Minecraft beds are not exactly comfy, feels like sleeping on the sides of a trampoline. But while it was normal for Second and the others, for Victim, who has been sleeping in a bed worth all of ROCKET Corp for a good couple of years, it didn't do well for their back.

And yes, the others barely went out of the desktop, at least without Second. Either they all left in groups or some would go out and some would stay, but one thing was for sure, Second and Victim were never alone. Until earlier this morning, that is.
