Unpleasant; a gradient that everyone in the entire universe despised and some, actually wanted the unpleasant being to be dead, telling him that right to his face. He was very lonely, and barely spoke, like at all, no one wanted him around, no one invited him to parties...not even Poob! Except for one person, someone who actually didn't mind being around him and always liked conversing with the gradient, despite not getting any responses...that person was [READER].

♡♡♡

It was a normal day in this god forsaken elevator, a few NPC's were on, yapping and playing with one another, besides one in the very back corner of the regretevator, a very peculiar gradient was in that spot; Unpleasant, he was being silent as per usual, even if he wanted to talk, everyone would probably just despise him even more, which he couldn't really stand anymore, but he managed. The gradient was just sulking in the corner slightly, he felt lonely, unwanted, unloved. Even if someone tried to speak with him, it would always end up the same, either getting death threats or being called wretched and ugly by many NPC's in the elevator, one being Mozelle in particular, he doesn't know what he had done to deserve such treatment from everyone. Sometimes he'd think he should just...disappear like everyone wanted him to...except for one person...that being [READER]. They were always so kind to him despite him being unpleasant, hence his name.

The elevator had stopped and dinged once it had reached another floor, the doors slid open and a silhouette of a person sauntered inside with the happiest grin ever. It was no one other than [READER], the devil themself!! Or should I say angel? (:D) They greeted other NPC's that were in the regretevator before spotting the silly gradient and went over to stand beside him.


"Hey, Unpleasant, long time no see huh??" They said, being the first one to speak up and strike a conversation, per usual when speaking to Unpleasant and gazed over at him. The gradient just stayed quiet, to be quite honest he was pretty socially awkward and was a bit scared to speak to anyone from all his past and current experiences, he was scared of everyone, and definitely didn't trust anyone either, especially [READER] since he didn't believe they actually liked him and didn't want to kill him in his sleep, not that he even sleeps all that much anyways.

"Sooo...how was your day? I hope it was amazing!! My day was good! Though Gregoriah summoned the flood on my ass again..jeez it was a pain.." [READER] kept blabbering and yapping to Unpleasant about random topics, some bing about their interests, they seemed so happy talking to him...it felt like a distant memory, something foreign...something that Unpleasant tries to gaslight himself into thinking that [READER]'s attitude towards him was all just a big fat lie and facade..so he finally decided to speak, in which it felt like forever since he had heard and used his voice.

"...Why.." The gradient mumbled out in a quiet tone, gazing down at the floor of the regretevator. At which made [READER] perk up at the sudden voice, one that was new to them, unfamiliar. They snapped their head to face the gradient with wide eyes, a look of surprise and shock grinded into their face.

"You can talk???" They exclaimed with a little gasp before feeling a little bit giddy, feeling like the only person to have heard Unpleasant's voice, which was actually a bit true. Before their expression edged into confusion, cocking their head to the side in curiosity while also raising a brow, "Also what do you mean 'Why'?...Why what?" They asked softly, biting the inside of their cheek.

"Why....Why are you being so nice to me?....I don't get it....everyone hates me...want's me dead....but you don't?...I don't get it at all.." Unpleasant had mumbled out after a few minutes of silence, finally finding the courage to look back at the kind hearted individual, tears forming(idk how this works bro, dont ask<3).

"Unpleasant...." [READER] mumbled out softly with a sympathetic look, before hugging the gradient, with asking for consent first of course. Their arms wrapped around him and they rested their face on his shoulder(guess bros humanoid now...this'll be solved after I show my HC's 4 him).

"Even though everyone hates you ....and finds you wretched and...well...unpleasant...that won't change my view I have on you....you seem misunderstood, and I really want to be someone who'll be by your side no matter what...what I'm saying is true.." The individual mumbled to the Gradient, closing their eyes as they continued to embrace him, to which Unpleasant wrapped his arms around them back in return, their grip soft but firm, being careful as if [READER] was something precious and delicate, they sniffled.

"But..."

"No buts! I don't want to hear it!" They interrupted Unpleasant, tracing patterns delicately on the gradient's back before leaning their head up to his ear. "No matter what you say about yourself or what others say...I'll always find you pleasant...in every universe this same exact thought will remain stuck with me and I want you to know that you are loved and cared for, not by most people..but by me?...Definetely! I'll always be here for you no matter what, You're an angel!" [READER] had whispered into Unpleasants ear soothingly as the other began to sob quietly, somehow.

LOCATIONS; INFECTEDS APARTMENT

[READER] and Unpleasant were now sitting on Infected's sofa, thinking about what games they should play together. They had all of the games and tried to pick on which one they should play first, to which the duo decided on F/VG.

The two started to get everything set, grabbing the controllers(or wtvr u need) and booting up the system and inserting the game. The duo played all night.

It was currently 1 AM, Unpleasant and [READER] were still playing video games. Unpleasant's vision was solely focused on the screen till he felt something a bit heavy and warm leaning against him, to which he gazed over to his side and saw [READER] sound asleep with the controller in their hand still, threatening to fall out of their grip, to which made the gradient smile, he hasn't done that in years, being face to face with misery and torment, he kind of forgot what it was like to be loved....huh..love?...This was new to Unpleasant, he was shocked and surprised by how someone could make him feel so special and finally belong...Unpleasant started to feel a bit drowsy so he lied against the couch and brought the sleeping individual close to him, wrapping his arms around them.

His mind kept thinking about how [READER] made him felt...he finally felt positive things...

He finally felt wanted...

He finally felt cherished...

He finally felt happy....

He finally felt loved...
