(Reader's P.O.V.)

    I walk with Infinite on my shoulder. His mask is in his hand and as we walk along I see him glance between it and me. "My room is just beyond that door. Just leave me on the bed and go back to your cell. I don't have the energy to take you there myself." I open the metal door and walk into the room. It's dark gray like all the others but there are red and silver accents all around the room. I lay Infinite on the bed covered in red sheets. I don't leave the room however. "I thought I told you to leave. I'll be fine. You don't need to force yourself to be here." "I don't think you're in any condition to be left alone. What if something happens and nobody's here to help you?" He sits there in silence and then sighs. "Fine... Just don't go poking your nose where it doesn't belong."

(Infinite's P.O.V.)

    "I see you finally taking my advice. And for once you're not wearing your mask." 'It was too hard to breathe after what you did to me. I'm still in pain because of you.' Once again I feel a searing pain in my chest. She must've noticed because the (C/T) was suddenly at my side asking me what was wrong. "Is it hurting you? Do you want me to get you something? I'm not exactly a medical expert but I do know general first aid if you need it." I sigh, ignoring the pain in my chest. "I-I'm fine. You shouldn't worry about me. Didn't you want to escape from this place? If I were in your shoes I'd use my captor's current state to get away." The look she gives me in return surprises me. Her eyes give me an angry glare. "But I'm not you. I'm not going to run away when I know someone needs me. Whether they asked for it or not. I'm going to help or the hero in me will never hear the end of it. I don't plan on leaving you like this, so like it or not, I'm helping you." She crosses her arms and huffs in annoyance. Somehow seeing her angry is kind of cute. Wait wait wait! No not cute! Why would I think she's cute? I haven't even known her that long! What is happening to me?! I suddenly hear him laugh. "Having trouble with your thoughts, Zero? Perhaps you're finally starting to see what I see." "Hey you, can I ask you a favor." The (C/T) turns to me looking slightly annoyed by how I addressed her. "Of course, she would be annoyed. She expects you to address her by name. The jewel should be treated with respect." 'I would use her name if I knew it. She told you her name, not me. We don't share memories, remember.' I feel another searing pain and it's getting worse. "Don't test my patience with your tone. I know you despise this. If you want it to stop, stop resisting me." Once again hearing my distress, she's at my side. The pain stops once her hands make contact with the gem on my chest. I hear the sound of the ruby's voice erupt in pure elation. "T-Thanks..." "No problem... I can stay like this if it helps. By the way, my name's (Y/N). I kinda realized you might not know my name like he does." (Y/N)... Her name actually sounds nice. Perhaps this pain and the haze on my mind are why I feel like this. I'm too tired, I can't put up a decent fight. "Hey... (Y/N)... Can I ask you a favor? Do you mind if I rest my head in your lap?" Her face reddens a little as she adjusts herself so she's sitting on my bed. I lay my head down and look up at her as my eyes grow heavy. I drift into a dreamless sleep. Somehow being near her made the pain go away. For once.

    He drifts to sleep laying in my lap. I'm all about helping people in trouble or in pain but that doesn't mean my current position isn't embarrassing. At least for the moment, he seems peaceful. I feel myself start to drift as well. I think everything started hitting me all at once. All my stress, fear, and anxiety, everything I went through so far has exhausted me. Before I pass out, however, I see a red cube float into my vision.
