Chapter Text
It was a normal day between the three of us, me, Manic, and Maze. As usual, our shenanigans started, Manic complained about being basically starved, and demanded Maze went to get them a banana of all things. As Maze went to get a banana for him, it ended up slipping on a peel that was on the floor, yelping as it flew back, all the way towards me. Although, said banana peel seemed to fly as well, which ended up on Manic’s face. From that point, we forgot about the entire ordeal, and decided to shower, waiting for our turns, of course.
Oh, did I mention that we were all going on separate vacations in a few hours? Well, except for me, at least. I never liked leaving home; it made me feel sick sometimes. Soon enough, both Manic and Maze were busy; preparing bags and such for the flight to wherever it was they wished to go. Of course, I came with - not to board the flights, but to give them a lovely farewell. “Well, stay safe out there you two.” I state softly, smiling warmly as they boarded different flights to different places. As they both went, they couldn’t help but yell, “I’LL SEND YOU PHOTOS!” I simply nodded, waving as they left. Afterwards, I went home by myself. It was quiet to say the least; I never minded the silence; it was nice for the first few hours. After maybe the third hour, I felt this ache in my chest, as if a piece of me was torn out. I had never felt this before; it was almost a surreal experience that left me pondering, “Are Manic and Maze feeling the same way?”
Days passed, I received a handful of photos from both Manic and Maze; they were beautiful landscapes and much more, but there isn’t any reason for me to give you every detail now. Within those days, I kept silent about the ache in my chest, listening to Manic rant about how amazing the moon looked, and how Maze said, “Not like I’m jealous, or anything!” It may be a tsundere, as some say. Abruptly, both said something along the lines of “Ughh! I miss being with you guys!” Well, that’s what Manic said... Maze said something like this, “Hmph... I don’t mean it when I say this, but I miss being with you two.” It’s definitely a tsundere, but they won’t admit it. Not that I care, okay, maybe I do care about them. Whatever, it doesn't matter to them, right?
Suddenly, after just the fourth day, while on call, Maze blurted out, “I’m coming back early.” Immediately, I piped up, “So soon? Sounds like you’re missing me.” Almost instantly after I dare utter such words, Maze yelled into its phone, “I WOULD NEVER EVER MISS YOU!” Manic chuckled in the background, soon bursting into warm laughter. It was a sweet moment; the ache in my chest soothed a bit after reading such words. Maybe, they felt the ache too, and I wasn’t so alone in such a feeling.
