"I.......... Wanna say something.." you said. Hoping for the best.

Chara: "What?" She asked sternly, still sounding upset.

You swallowed a lump down your throat before continuing to speak. You knew this was a risky slope, but you had to get on her good side to avoid future troubles.

"I....... I'm sorry...." You said, feeling slightly ashamed.

You looked at her, while she just sternly stared back at you. Still not uttering a word.
Seeing there was no other way around, You spoke again.

"I.... Was too scared..... To respond." You said putting your head down.

You felt so stupid right now. Clearly, you were the victim, yet you were the one apologising.
She was good at making you feel like YOU were the bad guy.

'At least, I can avoid future problems by getting on her good side' You thought to yourself and awaited her reply.

A few seconds of awkward silence passed, with either of you uttering a word. You were just staring the blood stained floor and Chara just continued staring at you.
'Okay, This is a lot more awkward than I thought!' you say to yourself.

While the silent segment continued, your sight darted to the cavern made in the walls.

Just seeing the damage done made shivers run down your spine. It made you wonder how inhuman the strength possessed by Chara was.
'I for sure don't want to test it!' you thought.

As the silence continued, your attention shifted to the girl who tried to devour you. Who right now was laying unmoving, on the other side of the last wall, with few tattered pieces of concrete wall crushing her. 

'Is she dead? I hope she is.' You thought to yourself.

Before you could think of anything else, The sound of Chara sighing caught your attention. 

You watched as she sat in front of you, while putting on a more softer expression.

Chara: "The one who should be apologizing is me" she said while rubbing a side of her head. 

You looked at her slightly astonished.
'So she can apologize, huh? Still better than Aria ,I guess.' You thought to yourself, while holding down the urge to chuckle.

Chara: "I wanted to befriend you, but I guess I let my anger get the better of me....... That's ......just stupid on my part" she said while giving an apologetic smile.

For a second, she actually looked like she was regretting her actions.

'Maybe...... I actually CAN get on her good side' you thought yourself with new found hope, before taking another look at her.

Even though it should be impossible after witnessing what you just did, you still found her kinda..... cute...........
Or maybe just less scary than you had assumed her to be.

"I see........ Why do-" Just when you were about to ask why she hated Aria, you stop yourself.
'Lets not piss her off again.'

Chara: "What was that?"

"Ah! Nothing."

Chara: "I see....."

"So.... Are we good now?" you asked while praying for a positive answer.

Chara: "Yeah..... I guess....."

After that, Awkward silence took over again.

'Okay, this is going nowhere' You thought to yourself before speaking up again.

"Alright, so what I'm saying is that ,I too want to be your frie- WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" You change your sentence midway, while your face took on a shade of red.

While you were busy trying to befriend Chara, she had placed an arm around your back, and another arm around the bend of your knees, and lifted you off the ground in bridal style.

"Cha.. Cha. Chara.... Wha... What are you doing?" You asked, completely flustered.

Chara: "I know you want to speak a lot more with me, But it can wait. For now, lets get your wounds treated." she said while pressing you against herself.

(Y/N)'s pov.

With no real warning, she started walking towards the stairs while continuing to carry me effortlessly.

I want to walk, but the wound in my legs sting a lot.
But this is worse!!

I watched as she started carrying me downstairs.......

Wait.......... Downstairs?

If I remember correctly, The first aid emergency room is in the ground floor, isn't it?

And at this time of day, there will be several inmates walking by, won't they?

Oh no!

She's gonna carry me like a bride, all the way to the med room, with all the inmates watching!!!

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! No no no no no no!

"C-Chara, I can walk!" I said trying to jump off her hold, but no avail.

She gave me a look that said 'Really now?' before sighing.

Chara: "No can do! Your leg and arm hasn't stopped bleeding, yet you want to walk? There are times when you shouldn't joke!" she said. Never lacking to show compassion in her voice.

I can see her sweat dropping, not from carrying me, but out of worry....

Why.......? Why does someone who killed hundred's, care so much about me?
She said we were similar............... Does it have to do anything with that?

Maybe I should ask her about tha-
???:"What the!"

My thoughts are cut off by someone's voice.
I look up and notice an inmate looking at us with her jaw dropped.

Wait....... Oh crap!

While I was so busy rearranging my thoughts about Chara, she had already brought us to the ground floor.

Right now, she was carrying me all the way through the main hallway, while so many inmates were watching!

Few of them just stared with wide eyes, while few of them gave me that 'What the!' look, while few just...... Burst out laughing.

???: "Whoa! Now That's scandal"
What!? No!! She's just helping me out.

???: "Awww! How cute!"
Please..... Stop.

???: "Get a room!"
.....
..
Now I really wanna die. Someone kill me!!

I wrap my arms around Chara's neck and slightly snuggle closer to her, Trying to hide my steaming face.

As if the situation couldn't get any worse, Something a lot more horrifying happened.

When we were about to take a turn, Aria and Elena came in from the front door!

Aria looked a bit groggy and had pieces of grass sticking to her raven hair, while Elena was just casually walking in while folding her arms behind her head.

Lets just hope they don't notice me.

Fuck! They saw me!

As soon as they did, they both gave out different reactions.

Elena first gave me a thumbs up, before bursting out laughing while leaning and banging on the wall.

While Aria just........... Stood there. Watching us with a blank face as we go past them.

I hope this doesn't hurt her feelings in any way .................Wait what?

From the moment I came here, She's done nothing but hurt me. Yet I care for her?

I.... Need help.

I should talk about this to someone....

Maybe Alice can do something about this. She could read my mind after all.............

Chara: "We're here." she spoke up, pulling me out of my trance.

"H-huh? Ah.... Yeah.." I said as I noticed that we were in the medic room.

At least, no more Inmates to embarrass me further.

Chara: "Stay here." She said as she laid me down on the lean back chair and made her way to the shelf.

I watched as she took a medicine bottle that I couldn't recognise. Along with a cotton roll and few bandages.
After that, she came and sat next to me as she took a piece of cotton and dipped it over the mouth of the bottle.

Then she carefully lifted my bitten arm and placed it on her lap.

Chara: "Okay, now this might sting a little bit, So bear with me." she said before rubbing the wet cotton over the wound in my arm.

I slightly hissed in pain.

She is right, It does sting.

Chara: "Sometimes, the disinfectant stings a lot. But its for a cause tho" she said as she was done cleaning the wound.

"Uh... You sure know how to treat a wound...." I said as she started unrolling the bandage.
She slightly chuckled before speaking.

Chara: "Well, I had to learn to treat myself. Circumstances ,you know?" she shrugged.

"I see...."

Chara: "By the way..." she started as I hummed back.

Chara: "What were you about say? You know, before I started carrying you." She asked while continuing to treat my wounds.

"Well..... I just wanted to say that, I wouldn't mind being your friend."

As I said that, she paused for a moment, before continuing to patch my arm up. 

Chara: "What made you come to that conclusion?"

"Well..... I guess I just misjudged you.... You are a kind person........... For a serial killer" I say, deadpanning over the towards the end.

Chara: "I see...."

"Also can I ask you.... Something..?"

Chara: "Go on"

"You said we were similar.......... How is that?" I ask, hoping it was the right thing to do.

She once again paused, this time a bit longer.

Maybe I shouldn't have asked that....

Chara: "Well...." her tone changed as a smile crept over her face.
Chara: "Maybe some other time." she said.

"Okay......." I just agreed.

Time skip.

Chara: "there, that should do!" she said as she just finished treating my wounds.

"Thanks Chara, I feel better already" I said laying back.

Chara: "Hahaha! Whatever." She said chuckling to my bluff.

Then she took a look at my bandaged arm and paused. After few seconds, she brought her hands to a clap while shouting "Oh, I know!". Making me flinch due to the sudden outburst. 

Chara: "Hold on!" she said as she ran to the drawer and opened it, proceeding to search for something in it.

"What are you do-"
Chara: "Got it!" my sentence was cut off midway, as she took out a black marker.

She came back to me and gently picked up my arm.

Chara: "Whenever your friend wears a bandage, you write something thoughtful on it ,don't you?" she asked with her crimson eyes sparkling.

"uhh... That's only done for a fracture" I said grinning sheepishly and rubbing my head. 

Chara: "Its okay! Don't ruin this for me!" she said puffing her cheeks.

I just sighed and gave her a "Okay", which was enough to make her proceed with her childish play.

At first she wrote a regular 'Get well soon'.
I thought it would end there, but I was so so wrong. My eyes widen as She proceeded to write more.

Things like 'F u Aria' or something like  'Bitch lasagna' was written in it.

"Hey! Stop it!" I said trying to push her off.

Chara: "No! I will NOT stop!" she grinned as she stood rigid on her spot and continued writing. And this time, there were more swear words.

I watched in horror, as she continued to fill my arm with savagery.

Maybe she finds pleasure in teasing me, I guess?

. . . . .

Chara: "There! I'm done!" she said as she finally let go of my arm.

"Thank god...." I whisper to myself while leaning back on the chair.

My arm is filled with swear words and doodles....

Chara: "Well then, see you later!" she said throwing away the marker, As it was useless now.

"Yeah..... Later" I say with a sigh of relief.

Chara: "Don't move too much, and get some rest" she said, sounding mature all of a sudden. Like she just switched from a 9 year old to back to her matured self. 

"Yeah, I could use some rest" I say, getting comfortable on the chair.

Finally............. Its over..

Chara: "Oh, and before I go!"

Oh my god! What now!? Please do- !!!!!
My thoughts are crashed halfway, As I felt Chara's lips on my forehead. 

I could feel my face heat up like never before. It would be no surprise if I just caught fire right now.

"W-w-what..... W-was that?" I ask her, struggling to keep myself from stuttering.

Chara: "What? This much is normal between friends ,right?" she asked innocently.

"N-no..... Its not.....!"

Chara: "its not?"
I watched as her eyes widened and her face went deep red. Redder than Aria's lips.

Chara: "O-oh...... I-i see............ Byeseeyoulater !!!" she yelled before sprinting out of the room in blinding speed.

I just sat there silently, trying to process what just happened. But before I could ,another voice struck my ear.

Alice: "She seemed nice!"

"What the!!"
