So to fit the plot more, lightbulb didn't just have a minor crack, it's a huge fracture. :D: sorry but it fits the plot a lot better. Also still no motivation. I had school and I had to finish a lot of work and stress and yeah. :( This and chapter 10 may be alike and I'm sorry for that anyways onto the sillies
Lightbulb has been feeling a little better but still weary and drowsy. She went to see a doctor, they said they could get her to come back for a welding procedure but not today.
Paintbrush's POV:
I offered to let her sleep in my bed tonight since I have extra padding on mine, just in case I light the bed on fire, it'll take longer to burn, and quicker for us to realize.
I help her onto my bed and she flops down. "Woah there, be careful- it's still cracked." She groaned. "Blarg. Shhhhut it. " She mutters, face in the pillow. I smile at her.
I lay down beside her and turn her to face me. "Wah." She grumbles. "I have something to make you feel better." I get up and shuffle through the organized junk in my closet. I pull out a basket, the one we used for the flowers, the flowers still inside.
Lighty gets up and looks over. "Oh! " I sit back down beside her and take out a strand of my bristles. I take a flower out and start weaving it into the new thread, I take another flower and do the same. I smile as Lighty watches me. I look back at my project and continue threading until i finish. I tie the thread into a small knot to finish it all. "Okay look at me" I say with the wreath necklace in my hands. she does so and I place it around her neck.
She smiles and holds it and looks at Paintbrush. "This is made out of the flowers we got?" I nod and Pat her on the head gently. She flinches at my pats and lays down again.
"This sucks. My head hurts, I feel sleepy and not at all well and when I try to talk to people they just say 'oh are you okay? Do you need help with something? How are you feeling? '" She looks up at me. "Well not you. " I lay back with her again. "Your welcome for not worrying about you?" I chuckle, I do worry though.
"If it's too boring for you here, I was going to go outside and paint by myself but you could come with me if you'd like."
She gets up and jumps off the bed, flinching as she hits the floor. I get and stare at her. "Yes! It's so boring being closed up in the hotel like some prisoner who killed 2 and a half people!" (N/A small foreshadowing 💕)
I laugh and pick her up off the floor. "Yeah I know, wait. And a half?" She giggles and coughs. "Ow I laughed so much I think I cracked my head again. " Trying to change the topic? "It's for suspended? You know because what do you mean half? Yeah like- okay. You don't get it" She stands up and walks out into the hall and down the stairs.
I help her down, carefull not to let her fall and I send her off outside. "I have to go get the supplies. " She nods and goes outside as I walk towards my artroom
"What are you guys doing together?" I jump at Knifes gruff voice. "Oh it's just you." I sigh and unlock the door. "We're going to draw or paint, just fo artsy stuff. Not anything weird. I'm guessing that's what you were asking for?" He shrugs and follows me inside. "Hey while your here, can you help me with these boxes? One is paints and all that and the other has markers and crayons and pencils. " "Sure" I hand him two boxes and two for myself.
"Did you want to ask me something else? You look like somethings on your mind. " He stands there, an image seems to flash in his mind but he shakes his head.
"Uh. Well, I was wondering if you've ever dated.. Anyone.. At all. " I face him. What? "Wh- why- Why do you want to know??" He realizes and stutters. "What! NO! Not because i- I DON'T LIKE YOU- Ew- I was asking-" I look shocked. "EW? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? " He nearly drips his boxes and sigh. I am very attractive, I don't know what he means by "ew"
"No I was just asking to see if you had any advice." He pauses. I could have sworn he looked somewhere else. "I'm... asking for a... Friend. " He smiles at "friend" and looks back at me. "Sorry, well do you?"
"No sorry, but if you like someone ejust tell them man. I have no idea what else to say" I lie. I know so much to say, but Knife is rude and doesn't "feel" often so he'll have to figure it out.
"I guess your right. " He looks away and this time I can see what he's looking at. But he pushes me away and walks put the correct, laying the boxes in front of Lighty at the table I set up outside.
I could have sworn he looked at Fan's picture.
I put my boxes down and Knife left. Lightbulb got out some paper and crayons and got straight to work. I take out my phone. "Hey look at me." "huh?" I aim my phone on her head and take a forehead shot. I show it her and she bursts out laughing. "Ow- ow- ow! thats- ow! How I look???" It hurts her to laugh, I can see that.
"Yeah." I put my phone away, I don't have a lot of photos of her surprisingly, but for some reason I want more. Maybe because we're becoming... GOOD FRIENDS. That must be it.
I get my canvas and start to paint. I look over at Lighty who is drawing herself at the beach. She's always loved the beach. I smile and get my red paint and start to paint Baxter. Of course, wearing a crown.
I paint somemore, using up different shades of red and yellow. I finish and look over at Lighty who is looking at her art proudl,y, well that is until she sees me look at it. She covers it up. "Can I see it?" She shakes her head. "Not until I see yours!" I stop. "How about we reveal our artworks to each other at once?" She pauses and shakes her once more. "No your so much better at drawing than me. It'll just be embarrassing. " She mutters.
I sigh and roll my eyes. "Okay fine. 3, 2, 1-" She picks up her paper, looks like she willing to do it. I turn my painting of Baxter around and she turns her piece of paper the same. We both smile as we look at echothers art. I look at her paper, it's a drawing of her, Baxter, and... me?
Lightbulb squeals and grabs the painting out of my hands. "OMGA IT'S BAXTER!!! AWW HE'S SO CUTE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! " She hugs the painting. "I'm going to hang this up on our room." Our. Huh. "I'll hang yours up too. " I say smiling.
"Wanna make more? " (That's what she said-) "Sure why not? " I get up and get another box of arts and crafts.
I have found out I like spending time with her. Like best friends. But I have feeling it's something else.
Sorry for any spelling mistakes i didn't catch, im on my computer this chapter and my hands are being annoying blarg The fact that I have to write down a summary/outline for each chapter makes the process so much longer. screams in lowercase. I hate this chapter.
