Ch. 11 - The aftermath (p.2)

Author notes : FINALLY DONE WITH THE OTHER PART YAYYYY

...

"I'm just bored to be honest, anyways could I get a simple latte ?"

Smg3 groaned, "we uhh, we don't have a coffee machine at the moment.."

"Tch, you literally own a cafe how do you know have one?"

Smg3 wanted to complain about Mario being the reason why, only for Kaizo to cut him off.

"Whatever," Kaizo said with annoyance. He walked over next to where saiko was sitting, crossing his arms with a sudden grin.

"Anyways I've heard there's been a lot going on here earlier, such a shame I wasn't here when that all happened."

"...Why is that such a shame?" Saiko asked with a confused look on her face; her eyebrow raised.

Saiko shrugged his shoulders, "it sounded.. interesting. A lot of people have been saying so many things about smg3 and his sudden relationship with smg4. Anyways how did you and smg4 even get together?"

Smg3 became flustered from the sudden question. "Well- just yesterday we've made it official- and we've honestly have had feelings for one another for a while."

"I see, gross." That had earned him a smack on his arm. "Ow! What?!" Saiko eyed him with a serious look. "Be respectful.""Tch, you're not my mother.""It wouldn't KILL you to try."

...

Smg4 had woken up, feeling dizzy and confused, rubbing the back of his head sitting up as his head began to pound of a headache

"Oh- wha- what happened?"

He took notice of his surroundings, realizing he was back in Smg3's lair.

"Smg3..?" He called out for his lover, only to not get a response.

Then it all hit him. The cafe being closed, the people outside, the post online, the comments. They all know...everyone knows about his and Smg3's relationship.

He couldn't move, his hands rested on his face, rubbing his tired eyes as he tried to distract himself from the uncomfortable weight that laid in the pit of his stomach, feeling this cold, tingly, weird feeling crawling all over him.

'They all know. They're going to look down on you.'

He groaned in frustration, "Shut up. Just stop."

'Poor smg3, he has to deal with the consequences for being with you.'

'Leave. Get out. Get out of here.'

'You're such a burden, it's embarrassing.'

'Get out get out-'

He pushed himself out of bed and ran out towards the elevator.

Once he made it upstairs, he froze. The doors silently opened and he stepped out only to freeze again as he heard faint voices coming from the cafe.

"Well- just yesterday we've made it official- and we've honestly have had feelings for one another for a while."

"I see, gross.. Ow! What?!"

"Be respectful."

"Tch, you're not my mother."

"It wouldn't KILL you to try."

"We were hoping to find out who could be the one to post that about 3 and 4, but like saiko said, it could be just some random hater. Kaizo do you know maybe anyone who could be responsible of taking that picture?"

Smg4 heard meggy's voice, his heart raced by her question about the post flooding the internet now. He leaned sideways against the wall, resting his head on the wall as his mind began to spiral.

'I should go.. I should go.. I should go-'

...

"Well.. yeah, I know.""HUH?!" Everyone said in unison.

Smg3 was the most surprised, leaning in desperate to hear who this person was.

"W-who?! Who was it?!" Smg3 shouted, his hands clutching into fists.

"And why would I tell you guys?"

"Kaizo! Why the hell are you defending that person?" Saiko responded with an angry tone.

"Well what do I get in return if I expose the truth?"

"Dude! Just tell us who it was, I need to fucking know alright?" Smg3 had enough, he couldn't just wait to hear who it was, his muscles tighten with suspension. He wanted to give whoever that loser is a piece of his mind.

Saiko felt something off about this, annoyed that Kaizo wasn't saying anything, she felt like Kaizo had something to do with it. It had to be obvious since he wasn't saying anything.

"Kaizo.. are you the one behind this..?" Saiko asked as her eyes squinted in suspicion.

Kaizo eyed her, wasn't sure on if he should straight up say it or deny it. He couldn't really deny since it was actually him but saiko's glare wasn't really helping him be smooth about this.

He sighed. "Alright fine, you got me, it was me."

Everyone was quiet, all surprised Kaizo was the one responsible for this. Meggy didn't know what to say, neither did anyone else, but all that could come out was,

"What- wait are you being serious? Kaizo-"

"IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!"

Everything went fast in a matter of time, smg3 had lunged himself and pinned down Kaizo on the ground as he started throwing fists at every direction.

"Smg3!!" Meggy and Saiko immediately got on their feet, trying to separate the pair on the floor. It was only worse when Kaizo started to fight back as well. He had thrown 3 away from him which led him to slide across the floor and hit his back against the counter.

"GUYS STOP!" Saiko shouted. Everyone didn't know what to do but just back away and watch the whole thing happen.

Three could feel his back burn but he didn't care, his blood was boiling, he felt so much anger in him. He felt liquid drip down from his nose. He brought his hand up and touched his nose, pulled it away and saw it was blood.

Meggy ran over towards smg3, worried for her friend. "Smg3! Are you-"

Three didn't answer. He got up and tried to run over towards Kaizo again only for Meggy to hold him back.

"No! Don't do it 3! Uh- Mario come help me!" Mario rushed over and held back smg3 as well.

Saiko was holding Kaizo up, making sure to have a strong grip on him so he doesn't try to do anything else.

Around his eye, the area began to swell, showing a hint of purple as blood dripped from his nose. He looked up at 3 as he held his bleeding nose and smirked at him.

"Didn't think he'd act up like this, it's rather hilarious."

"I swear I'll KILL YOU! I- UGH- LET GO OF ME YOU TWO!"

Mario and Meggy refused, "Please just- just calm down!-"

Smg4 barged in, trying to make his way out without being noticed but that didn't happen.

Mario and Meggy let go of the meme guardian from the sight of four, which three was thankful for and ran up to his boyfriend.

"Four! Are you okay?!" He tried to hold him but four slightly flinched away, looking away as he held himself.

"..four? What-"

"I need to go." He whispered. 3 was confused, he needed to go?

"Go? What do you mean-"

"I can't-" Smg4 started, " I can't do this. I- I don't want to risk our reputation even more than I have already done."

"..what are you saying? Four, you didn't ruin anything. You didn't do anything wrong- WE didn't do anything wrong, alright?"

"I need to go 3, I'm sorry..." his eyes had become watery once again, oh how he hated this constant crying he does. He hated how weak he was and how pathetic he was. Three noticed and he couldn't bare to just stand do nothing. He tried to reach out to his lover, only for smg4 to grab 3 by the wrists, keeping him from a distance.

"I'm sorry.. I- I can't do this anymore. I want to go home now.."

Three could feel his heart rate began to escalate, he felt this weird unsettling feeling resting in the pit of his stomach, alarm bells ringing in his head. Something was going to happen and he didn't know what. The setting felt off and by the way smg4 was acting, he really hoped he wasn't thinking what he thinks he's thinking.

"Smg4.. let's just, talk this through-"

"It's over.. it's over between us.. im- im sorry!-"

And just like that, four ran out the cafe and back to the castle as tears streamed down his face. Three didn't know what to feel, he didn't know what to say. His eyes widen as he heard those words, he stayed there staring at the closed door, feeling this sick feeling weighing him down as his heart sank and what felt break into a million pieces.

"Did I do that..?" Kaizo quietly asked as he was shocked at what unfolded in front of him, along with everyone else.

"You think idiot?!" Saiko angrily whispered at him. "I- I don't know what to even say to you.." She pulled away and walked on over where Meggy and Mario were, as the two stared at their friend with frowns on their faces.

Smg3 stormed off towards room where the elevator was, slammed the door shut and made his way back into his secret lair.

"Holy shit.."
