*time count== 1 has been living with 5 for about two months *
1's POV
I had gotten used to waking up with the Sun since I came here. 5 had usually gotten up before me, cause I like to sleep in and I'd just pull the blanket over my head. But now I'd get up and downstairs for breakfast before him, if I was lucky. Probably because he's a light sleeper and the Sun in your face does that to you when 80% of your walls are windows in his room.
I'd already gotten breakfast and started eating when 5 slid down the handrails of the stairs. Did I mention he copied me on that? Well now you know.
5 always got the most decorated bowls and plates out of everyone here. Honestly, I really didn't mind, its his place after all. I realized though, he'd only eat like two meals a day. That's probably why he's skinny. But so although not too skinny, you know?
Anyway, I'd kept the same seat beside him across the corner of the table since I'd gotten here. I didn't care. Either a maid was nice and left it or someone was lazy and didn't put it back. Hopefully the first one.
Every meal he'd eat at the table with me, I'd catch him glancing at me, then looking away back at his plate when I'd look. I have this weird kinda sense when I know someone is looking at me. He does it a lot. I'm not completely sure why.
He's been slacking a little on my fight training, I think. Only around three times a week we'd actually train, or practice.
Also, I'd catch him staring at me from down the hall. Like I'd be going down a same way he was and he'd almost stop and look back at me at the end of the hallway. Its kinda weird.
I mean, he's a really cool guy n all, but jeez. Kinda rude, dude.
--------------
We were eating dinner. 5 usually skips lunch and eats a snack instead. That's why he's skinny...huh.
This time, he started to kinda tap-kick my feet under the table. I dunno if that's just boredom, or...
"Hey 5."
"Hmm?" He says with a mouth full.
"I dunno why, but you're acting off recently."
He swallows, "Off? How 'off'?"
I play with my food on the plate a little, "You've been...uh I don't want to say weird, but I think you've got a staring problem. Not to be mean..."
He looked at me with such a defeated look, which made me feel bad. He looked away and scooped up another spoonful of dinner, "I understand. My apologies."
Ok now I know something's up. The last time he used professional language like that was one time one of the maids was bugging him about something. He only used that when I asked what was going on.
"Ok, what's up?"
"Huh?" He said through some food
"Something's really off here. You don't use fancy sayings like that unless you're trying to seem professional about a problem. What's bothering you?"
His eyes widened and his shoulders tensed and he swallowed again. He nervously looked at his dish and messed with its contents. A few of the maids whispered with eachother and smiled.
Girls are weird.
I looked back at 5 from the maids and his cheeks were turning pink. I could almost hear the gears turning in his head. Though, I'm no mind reader.
He finished his dinner quickly and awkwardly walked out of the dining hall.
A good number of the maids chatted among their groups and giggled. I managed to overhear some of them, but not well because there were so many conversations at the same time.
"You think so?"
"I was seriously thinking that!!"
"It's canon!"
"Its true! Its true!"
"When?"
"Otp!!"
"Not just yet."
Otp...? The heck does that mean?
I finally finish and hand my dish in and go and find 5. He's nowhere in the main part if the building, so I go up and check around the top part. Nowhere to be found I the other rooms, and the only place left is his room, the very top of the triangle section.
I knock.
"W-who is it..?"
"Just me, Blue Head." That's pretty much been our names sense he started the trend.
I heard silence and no response.
The door was unlocked, thank gosh. I cracked it and peeked in. I saw 5 curled up, sitting with his back to the door.
"5-5..." I opened the door more.
He looked at me blankly, and turned back.
"If it's what I said at dinner, there's seriously nothing to get all weird about. There's nothing weird. I was just saying because it made me feel odd."
He looked at me again and smiled slightly, "I always appreciate your honest critiques."
"Stop speaking like you're a businessperson."
"Its true. Your personality makes your suggestions sound like a law, almost. You're sarcastic attitude sometimes makes it sound like a suggestion, too."
"I-i have no idea wh-"
"Don't worry about it." He turned again and smiled, "Also, sorry. Its kinda a habit of talking like that occasionally."
That smile was so fake.
I walk in and sit on the foot of his bed. The room was still new because I'd only been in here once.
"You're easily hiding something. What is it."
His smile dropped for a second, then he looked away in a grin.
"You probably won't understand."
"Try me."
5 smiled again and turned himself slightly. His new smile was true and genuine. He gazed into my one eye and his eyes glimmered in the sunset from the windows.
Something about it made me settle. Made me feel comfortable.
"I-uh.." he stuttered,
"I..." his face pinkened (not a word but idc) and he looked to a side for a moment.
"I...really...uh...l-l ...
I-im sorry i-i I can't talk today and-"
He rubbed his face with both hand and cut himself off by groaning to himself.
"I'm sorry..."
I turn my head to a side, "What were you trying to say? You didn't even say anything."
5 sighed and put his hands even more over his face to cover it, "I'm sorry.." he barely muttered
"What?"
"I said I was sorry." His voice raised a bit and he seemed even more angry with himself.
"For what?"
"Mmmmm..." he grumbled, "Jeez, why can't this be easy?" He muttered to himself again
"Hey. Spit it out. What's bothering you?" I get easily annoyed with this, taking too long to get to the point.
(Eheheh lool a 4th wall break :3)
He lurched forward and wrapped his arms around me in a hug, but yet awkward because of the way we were sitting.
"I don't understand."
"U-understand what..?" Dang, me and my random studdering.
"Why I like you so much."
5 snuggled deeply into my chest.
It was...comforting. and warm. And nice.
"1.." he whispered, "I'm sorry for staring at you. I was nervous. I didn't now what to do. I didn't know what to do with myself."
My face was already dark in a blush.
"Its-uh- " I was twitching with nervousness, "I-i had no clue you really-"
He interrupted me my lightly tugging on my hood. He looked up at me and I looked at him, eyes shining in the sunsetted windows.
His head slowly gravitated toward mine, and I couldn't justify moving away.
H-he...kissed me..!
He wasn't very long about it, just a short kiss.
He pulled back and his eyes were big and wide. He smiled, too.
I had no clue what to do, but I stared back into his eyes, my face almost legitimately exploding from heat.
"Y-you really..." that's all I could say until he hugged me back again.
"1." He whispered into my hoodie, "C-can you...stay here with me tonight...?"
I ran a hand through his hair, "I-uh guess so. No reason not, I suppose..?"
He pulled his head up and smiled at me. He reluctantly pulled away from the hug and stood up from the foot of the bed. "I'll be right back. Imma go get changed into nightclothes."
Something about not having him hug me...felt empty. I dunno why.
There was a panel on the wall by the doors. He pressed a button and a maids voice came and he talked to whoever the maid was about for someone to get his suit the next morning to clean and iron it.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome, sir." The maid said from the panel, and 5 came back over, but to a closet and started going through drawers and began to take off his bow tie. "Hey, uh 1. You can go change into some clothes for the night, if you'd like."
I perked up, "OH. Yes. Thanks." I got up and started to leave.
"No problem." He said. I looked back when closing the big door and caught a glimpse of 5 unbuttoning his extended vest.

I came back nervously and carefully opened his huge doors to his room. I peeked in and he was in a tight white long sleeved shirt and dark comfy shorts. He was sitting back on his pillows and messing with some sort of device.
I, on the other hand, changed into a black shirt and shorts. I was freezing without my hoodie on.
"H-hey.." I pushed the door open. 5 looked up and smiled. 5 set down what he had and invited me over. I nervously strolled over and sat down on the bed, near the end.
"Hey 1." 5 said
"Hmm,"
"I have to go out tomorrow." He glanced over at his device-thing. It beeped and he picked it back up and did a few things on it.
"Where?" I leaned towards him, trying to see what he was doing.
"Have to go meet someone far away to go have an annual meeting. She was saying around 1 er noonish time."
Something inside me clicked, and it didn't feel right, "Who's 'she'?"
"Oh don't worry. You know her. And I'm not going to be the only one there. I think TV is too... I think Frost is as well."
I swear I've heard those names before. "Why is it a meeting? What do you even talk about that's worthy enough for a meeting?"
"I dunno. Girls are weird. Same reason why there's so many males around here." He cut off the thing in his hand and put it on his nightstand.
"Can I come?" I couldn't help myself
"Oh, sure I guess. I don't think she'd mind. You can even contribute to any problems you think are pending." He smiled and pushed the covers from underneath him and covered his legs. I scooted back and pulled my legs in and pushed to blanket back. 5 was kinda fidgety and I kinda felt weird about him asking me to spend the night with him. (Esp so soon ;3)
I played down the opposite way from him and curled up in the blanket. 5 shuffled around on his side, until he stopped and his lamp turned off. Other than the lamp, the room was already dark. Now its dark dark.
To be honest, I was never one for dark rooms. Its just different when there's someone else I there with you.
In the middle of my mini panic attack of how dark it was, 5 turned over and wrapped and arm over me. "G'night." He said
"Night..." I replied. Something about him, with an arm around me, settled me. It was so comfortable. The soft pillows and the warm blanket, plus the heat from 5 made me surrender to sleep in less then five minutes.

The Sun. Oi, it blasted me in the face.
I pulled up the cover over my face and grumbled. After a moment, I realized I was the only one there...and was really cold, despite these pillows and blankets.
"5-5..." I managed to mutter
I felt his hand lightly ruffle my hair. I carefully open my eye and see a half-dressed 5, wearing a darker shade of blue pants than normal, but the regular light blue cuffed long-sleeved shirt.
"Hey 1." He said delicately, "Sorry I left ya."
I grumble and try to snuggle back, but I couldn't. "Cold.." I muttered
He bent down and smooched me on the cheek I wasn't laying on. It indeed made me warmer.
I tried to fight back a smile, but I failed miserably. I heard 5 chuckle and walk away. I cracked my eye open a tad and saw him on the same bowtie he'd taken off last night. 5 then reached for an extended vest from a hanger on the wall.
(You know those vests some pianists wear? Like that but really long and goes to his ankles and is a bit rectangular shaped instead of two draping pieces of fabric (he was also wearing on of those extended vests like that of a pianist before he changed))
He turned around and buttoned it up. As soon as he turned back around I closed my eye.
"You forgot your hat. Your floaty hat."
"Oh I'll put it on. When you get up, that is."
I grumbled and turned over. 5 started to poke my side and say 'get up' nonstop. I smiled and pulled the blanket up more.
"1. Its noon and you still have to eat before we go."
"...I'll be up in about five minutes, just gimme five minutes and I'll be up." Shoot. I don't wanna be late and not go.
"Its 12:35 and you still need to eat and get dressed."
I hopped out of the bed and stumbled to the door. 5 laughed.
"What?"
"Hehe its 11:20. I'm glad you woke up early. " he smiled and made his way to the door with me.
I grumbled and wiped my face. 5 laughed to himself. "Well go on. We're having pancakes, grits, and eggs this morning."
I opened the door and shuffled down the hallway. "Fine.." but I smiled instead of acting like I was angry.
