15

(i'm so tired and unmotivated rn and ive been overworking myself with all types of writing 😭😭)

Boxten woke up to the cold touch of silky fabric on him.He stretched his arms forward and yawned intensely, looking around.

Glisten's room. Again-

Then he recalled the conversation he and Glisten had the night before and suddenly blushed violently, whipping his head around to see the mirror huddled up to him from behind.

"Glisten? You awake?"Boxten asked, gently nudging the sleepy man.

"mhm..."Glisten groaned as he pressed his face against Boxten's back, hugging him tightly.

"We should probably get up soon..."Boxten mumbled again, looking at the wall clock that read 10:12 am (dude i can't even read a clock)

"Yeah I knowww..."Glisten muttered and released his death grip on Boxten's torso.

Boxten shuffled out from underneath the blankets and stretched more, helping Glisten sit up as well.

Boxten could hear people speaking from the kitchen, which was surprising given how far down the hall Glisten's room was.

Glisten was already up, removing his makeup from the night before and reapplying it.Boxten just watched silently as he tied his bandana around his neck.

After the two were both completely ready they made their way out the door.

Half-way down the hall they heard the commotion of Poppy and Scraps stirring up trouble in the kitchen.

"So what's happening here?"Glisten asked, strutting into the room with as much confidence as possible.

"These two just making things difficult again."Sprout was laying his head on the counter, clearly annoyed.

"We weren't even being that bad, learn to take a joke man."Scraps said sarcastically, slugging Sprout in the shoulder.

Sprout didn't even care.

"Sprout, get up.."Cosmo nudged the strawberry and rubbed his nose bridge, started to get slightly upset but needing to compose himself.

"Oh that sounds fun, anyways whatcha guys making?"Glisten pulled out a chair at the table and kicked back, signaling that Boxten sat with him too.

Boxten hesitantly took a seat next to the mirror.

"Waffles, want some?"Cosmo said warmly as he poured a bit of batter into the waffle maker.

"Sure, get some for Boxten over here too!"Glisten smiled and leaned forward a bit.

"I-if you don't mind..."Boxten added, trying to not be a burden.

Glisten cranked his neck to gaze at Boxten again.The music box stared back confused.

Poppy happened to catch the crossfire of the looks.

"woah woah woah.. What's going on here."Poppy stepped forward, standing in between the two chairs.

"Nothing, nosy."Glisten snapped back at Poppy.

"Nonono. I saw how you were staring at my BESTIE over here. What are you planning!?"Poppy bent down and whispered harshly at Glisten.

"Nothing, geez. I can't look at people?"Glisten defended himself. Rather horribly I might add.

"No, You can't! Especially since everybody knows you're the gayest one around here."Poppy looked at Boxten, and then back to the mirror who was staring to get pissed off.

"Okay for starters, don't act like I don't k ow about you and Scraps. And second we're just good friends. Chill out Paperkisser."Glisten retorted and leaned back into his chair triumphantly.

Poppy just narrowed her eyes and glanced over at Scraps who was hissing at Sprout who had pulled out a spray bottle.

"Okay whatever, I don't care just don't steal my bestfriend away from me, boy."Poppy walked over to Sprout to intervene in whatever was going on.

Glisten sighed and turned to Boxten again, who was flustered and shook.

"Y-you didn't have to go that much out-"Boxten mumbled, fiddling with his bandana a bit.

" Uh.. I just thought she should think twice before coming at us."The mirror smirked and watched as Cosmo prepared two plates of waffles, and Scraps violently scratch Sprout causing Cosmo to pull away from the breakfast to stop the fight.

"I think it's more like she was coming at YOU. to be honest.."Boxten chuckled and scooted his chair closer to Glisten's.

After everything was settled and the Two both ate their breakfast, they decided to go take a walk.  Just a simple walk around the lobby.

*eeuuuuhhhh pretend there's like writing here for them going to the lobby lol*

They both strolled around, occasionally stopped to say good morning to another toon, or to look at anything out of the ordinary.But honestly, the lobby hadn't been visited in such a long time everything had already been seen.

Except for a tiny spider web, that Boxten stopped by to look at the spider residing in it as Glisten freaked out over the small thing.

"It's just a spider.. She won't hurt you!"Boxten stuck a finger out and let the spider crawl up.

"See? Gentle little critter."Boxten smiled and put his hand out to let Glisten have a look but he mirrored immediately jumped back and screamed.

"Ew! No! Gross! Get. It. AWAY!!"Glisten squealed and swatted away Boxten's hand.

"Okay, okay, i'm sorry."Boxten giggled and let the insect skedaddle (help) back into its web.

"I had no clue you hated bugs THAT much-"Boxten hugged Glisten loosely and pulled him close.

"They just.. They're so small... and one creature should NOT have that many limbs..."Glisten shuttered in horror at the thought of bugs.

Astro overheard the limbs comment from not very far away and huffed, walking away without anybody even noticing he was there.

Without a second thought Boxten nudged Glisten's hand with his own, weaving his fingers into Glisten's.

Glisten looked down and quietly squealed in his head.

"I KNEW IT! GAY! GAY! HOMOSEXUAL GAY!!!!!"Poppy screamed from behind them, pointing at them and glaring at Glisten.

"Get a grip girl."Glisten teased Poppy by holding up him and Boxten's intertwined hands and squeezing harder.

Boxten nervously laughed and looked away, trying to make sure nobody saw the scene.

"Glisten..."Boxten hushed the mirror hesitantly and let out an exasperated sigh, clearly trying to signal he didn't want to be there anymore.

Glisten, ever the "observant" one got it immediately and wrapped up whatever him Poppy were bickering over now.

Boxten and Glisten both cuddled quietly in the back corner of the elevator as it hummed lightly.

The soft buzz got interrupted by a headthrobbing buzzer, indicating they had arrived at their intended floor.

"Glisten why are we at the projector room-"Boxten, still holding hands with the mirror, walked with him as they trudged up the short stairs to the bean bag area.

"I figured we chill here for a bit, not many come around here unless there's a party or something. And i'd know if there was a party for sure."Glisten sat down on a single bean bag with Boxten, both of them huddling close as the projector struggled to flicker an image onto the white sheet in front of it.

The two just sat in the quiet dark, watching whatever pre-recordings were on at the moment.Just blissful peace.That's what they loved about their time together, they never knew what they could get from them both.

Glisten had started drifting to sleep, so he looked at how comfortable Boxy was to see if he could go to sleep there.He wasn't shocked to see that the music box had passed out hugging him.

Glisten smiled and tilted his head down to gently place a kiss on Boxten's forehead before resting his own and going to sleep as well.

Tisha watched in utter confusion as she was sweeping not far away.

"What the fu-"
