(Mirage's POV)


After we get off the roof and we are at the door of my apartment as I start to unlock it. Once it was opened, I realized that I forgot to put something away. 


(Crypto's POV)


"So, umm I need to put something away.." Mirage said getting embarrassed. I placed my hand on his shoulder, right before the man was about to run in the house to hide the item. "What is it Elliot? I won't laugh at you, I promise." I said, kissing his cheek to calm him down. "Okay, I trust you. I know your backstory, its time to  tell you mine" he responded walking in. I closed the door and turned around to see Elliot sitting at his dinning table with a box in front of him. I noticed there was another chair next to him, so I sat there. "I'm the youngest one out of both of my brothers. I worked as a bartender, and I worked with my mother on the holograms you saw today in action. As I  got older, I heard amazing things about the apex games. But I couldn't just leave my mother, I didn't want her to be by herself. One day she gave this..." he said, as he started opening the box.


(3rd POV)


Mirage has opened the box showing a small circular metal plate. He took it out and flipped it over, revealing a button. Elliot pressed it and placed it on the table. It was a hologram of Mirage's mother saying this in Arabic, "mrhbana 'iilyut , shkrana lak ealaa biqayik maei. walikun han alwaqt limutabaeat 'ahlamuk. 'ant shakhs aistithnayiyun , la tade 'aya shakhs yukhbiruk bikhillaf dhalik. 'ahbak ya 'iilyut , waistamtae bialrkl! " As the holograms leaves, Mirage slowly starts crying. Once Mirage stopped, he told Tae what his mother had said. Crypto's places one of his hands on the side of Elliot's face. " She's not wrong , you're kind , funny, caring, and loving." he said, softly kissing the man. "Thank you, Salang." Elliot said. After a couple of hours of them hanging out, they decided to go to sleep. "Want...to ... sleep together? WAIT! I MEAN ONLY SLEEP I PROMISE! " Mirage said slowly realizing his  choice of words. "It's okay , I understood what you meant." Tae replied, smiling at him. They cuddled for a bit on Mirage's bed, and then went to sleep with Crypto on Elliot's chest.
