Skeleton's POV:
~
"Skeleton? Are you awake yet? We're gonna be late again!"
Yawning, I check my alarm clock. Oh, it's 8:30... Oh shit! It's 8:30!
I dart downstairs and open the door. Zombie rolls his eyes, unamused. "We're going to be late again, Skelly."
"Sorry," I say sheepishly, scratching the back of my neck. "I was just super tired."
I'm lucky to have a friend like Zombie. He waits for me every morning- and we're almost always late because of my messed up sleep schedule. I still don't know why he waits for me.
"Let me guess... You didn't have time to eat breakfast," he says. I chuckle softly and nod. "I'll be fine though, I can wait until lunch."
"Are you sure? We can share if you want, I bought some doughnuts."
I was extremely tempted to take one, but I decided against it. Zombie usually gave up his breakfast for me. "Nah, I'm fine." He shrugs and mumbles, "Your loss."
Zombie opens the classroom door. We both enter with our heads hung low, knowing that Herobrine wouldn't be happy with us being late, again. Herobrine gives us an unamused glare. "Late again?"
"Yeah," I say, "It's my fault."
Zombie opens his mouth to protest, but Herobrine sighs and says, "If it happens again, both of you will get detention. Understood?"
"Y-yeah," I say, walking to my desk. Wither was behind me, probably asleep. I take a quick glance before blushing. He looks so cute when he's asleep. So peaceful... Wait cute?!-
Zombie smirks and elbows me in the stomach playfully. "Looks like someone has a crush." My face heats up as I open my mouth to protest. "W-what?! No!"
Pigman smirks too, snorting. "You totally do." No, not him too!
"Pfft, yeah. You've been staring at him for the last ten minutes," Zombie says, chuckling. Herobrine clears his throat, and we all shut up.
I haven't been staring at him for ten minutes! What is Zombie talking about?! Maybe for like five minutes, but ten?! Ridiculous!...
Oh.
Okay, maybe I was. But that doesn't mean I have a crush on him or anything!
"Skeleton, are you paying attention?" Shit. "Y-yeah," I lie. "Then what did I just ask you?"
"U-uhm, you asked if I was paying attention?" Ghast snorts at my response but stops when Herobrine sends him a death glare. "Skeleton, you've left me no choice. You have detention after school. Anyways, lunch break."
"Are you okay, Skelly? You seem kind of out of it," Zombie whispers. "He was probably thinking about his boyfriend," Pigman says with a smirk.
"He's not my boyfriend!" I shout, a bit too loud. Okay, that's an understatement. I shouted way too loud- the whole class went silent. Suddenly, everyone started bombarding me with questions. Even Herobrine.
"Omg, who is it?!" Enderman shouts. "It's--!" I put my hand over Pigman's mouth and hiss at him. "Don't you dare," I threaten. He rolls his eyes and says, "What's in it for me?"
"I'll give you a diamond, okay?"
"Two diamonds and a stick and you have a deal."
"Fine," I huff. Enderman grunts in annoyance and returns to his seat. Creeper and Slime didn't seem to care- they were more focused on begging Wither to give them KFC for lunch. Herobrine just shrugged it off and ate his salad.
"Skelly, ask your boyfriend for some food," Zombie says. "I'm not hungry," I mumble. I really was starving, but I didn't have the guts to ask Wither. I don't want him to know that I like him...
Wait, what. Why did I just-!
"C'mon, you didn't eat breakfast. You've got to be hungry!"
"I'm not."
"Fine, if you say so. I'm gonna go beg him for some pizza, be right back."

I've been sitting in class for over an hour. I start to feel light-headed. Maybe if I close my eyes for just a bit...
It doesn't help in any way. I don't feel so good, but I don't want to draw more attention than necessary. Realizing the cause of this was hunger, I instantly regret not taking a doughnut from Zombie this morning.
My vision slowly starts to fade, until I become unconscious.
~
"Skelly? Skelly?!"
"W-what?" I reply, my voice weak. What happened...?
"Thank goodness you're awake! You passed out so suddenly," Zombie says, patting me on the back. "I did?"
"Yeah, it's probably because you thought skipping breakfast and lunch was a good idea. Also," he whispers, "Your boyfriend's here."
I turn around to see Wither asleep. Blush dusts over my cheekbones. So cute...
"Yo, Wither, he's awake," Zombie says, nudging him. Wither's eyes snap open immediately. He floats towards me. "Skeleton, what happened?! Are you okay?!"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine."
"Seriously, you're super pale. Do you want me to code some food for you?"
"Uhm, I-I'm good," I reply. Zombie facepalms. "Yes, he's hungry."
"No, I'm not," I repeat stubbornly. Zombie sighs and mumbles, "Suit yourself. Anyway, Herobrine said you can skip detention and head straight home. I need to meet up with Creeper and Slime, but I can walk home with you if you'd like?"
"I'll be fine," I reply weakly. "Go ahead."
"Are you sure? I don't mind."
"Positive. See you tomorrow, Zombie." Zombie waves and exits the school, leaving Wither and I in uncomfortable silence.
"You sure you aren't hungry?"
"...Positive."
"Your health bar says otherwise," he says. Wait how can he see my hunger bar-
Oh, yeah. He's a hacker.
Shit.
"Skeleton, why didn't you tell me the truth?" he asks, crossing his arms. "I- u-uhm..."
Honestly, I didn't know how to reply. "I... I don't know?" He sighs and hands me a cake. "Here. If you need another one, please ask me." Flustered, I nod. I swallow the cake whole and feel a lot better.
He hands me another one before saying, "I know when you're full or not." I eat this piece of cake a bit slower, savoring the sweet taste before swallowing it. Wow, Wither sure knows how to make a great cake.
"Do you feel any better now?" he asks. "Y-yeah, thanks, Wither." He extends his hand- which I take. "Do you want me to teleport you home?"
"...Are you sure?"
"Yeah, of course I am. I'd close my eyes if I were you, considering that you're light-headed." After securely shutting my eyelids (screw logic),Β my body lands on something soft.
"You can open your eyes now, Skeleton," Wither says. Cautiously, I slowly open my eyes. I was in my room, sitting on my bed. "T-thanks, Wither..."
"No problem, Skeleton, Do you need anything else? Don't even try lying to me, I can check your stats."
"Yeah, I'm sure... Thanks again," I reply.
That's when we heard shouting outside. "Oh no...," I mumble. Stupid players I have to kill. Ugh.
Taking my bow out of my inventory, I dart outside without a word. Wither was left confused.
