His screen switched on to a tired but neutral face. His mind was still a bit groggy from having just woken up. Another day..? Again?? He just wanted to stay curled up in his bed all day... He turned over in his bed, hugging his soft and cold pillow since his TV head didn't produce heat when his screen was off. Thats when he felt it. A sharp, knawing pain that was somewhat like a stomach ache but worse and slightly lower. His eyes widened. He knew what that familiar pain was. Oh no. He shot up, throwing the three sets of blankets off of himself.
Looking down, he saw a small dried blood stain on his nice sheets. Grunting and grumbling in frustration under his breath, he reluctantly got up from his bed. The knawing feeling was still there, taunting him with nausea. He grumbled and grunted as he pulled off the sheets from his bed, taking the blankets as well and balled them up. He tossed them to the side as he pulled off his soaked pj's, almost tripping as he pulled one pant-leg off. He tossed them to the balled seats and grumbled as he tried to focus less on the pain and more on picking out some dark, dark pants and boxers since the stupid human side of his body soiled the other ones.
Knock! Knock!
He jumped as he heard someone knocking on his door, almost falling but managing to catch himself. Sighing, he yelled at the person that disturbed his personal moment. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" A gruff voice answered. "Yo, Shakespeare! Did ya just wake up?" The television quickly put on his clothes as he answered. "Yes? What about it?" The machine went to open the locked door, making Puzzles panic as scouraged around and decided to just put on his regular puzzle-patterned pants. He knew Wpnz was probably going to bust the door dow-
A metal cannon shot itself through the door, making the knob slam into the wall. Puzzles jumped into the air, starttled before he stared at the machine infront of him with rage filled screen."There we go! This is better than talkin' behind wood." He put his hands on his hips as he gave Puzzles the usual sh■t eating grin because he KNEW Puzzles HATED when he busted down his room door. "Haven't you learned to have some SELF-CONTROL?!" Wpnz smile somehow got bigger as he responded. "Naah, not my style." Puzzles frowned. Wpnz' face lit up, remembering something."Oh yeah! By the way, I think a may be a bit too late for ya plan cause you slept untill 3pm."
Puzzles' face dramatically changed from anger to shock and horror. He had forgotten all about the heist he had planned for today! It was supposed to be a big one because they were going to go back to Smg4's place and see if they could rob anything from that dim-wit's circus of idiots castle. He knew that place may have been abandoned because of that blueberry mario retiring recently. "WHAT?!" His face turned to anger again. "And you let me sleep for that long?!?" His plan was SPECIFICALLY supposed to start at 1pm, which ment he had to get up at 11:30 ON THE DOT to get his magnificent self ready. AND THIS STUPID BRUTE LET HIM SLEEP?!?
"Ya, I thought ya were gettin' ready and I uh.. kinda forgot untill I knocked." Wpnz responded, looking off to the side like he knew that the lanky fellow was about to tear him limb from limb. HE KNEW how he absolutely HATED his plans not going right!!
The knawing feeling hit Puzzles again. It clawed at his insides, making him slightly nauseous. The pain reminded him of his other predicament. Maybe it wasn't so bad that the mech couldn't keep track of time that well. Although he was still very, VERY upset at his plan going south, he didn't mind it right now since he was in too much pain at this moment to care. He let out a sigh, face palming before looking back up to Wpnz. "You really should get a watch. You're horrible at keeping the time. But alas, it is alright for now. Because I am-"
He stopped himself mid sentence. Wait. He didn't want Wpnz to know that he was transgender. No no, he didn't want him to see him as what he was when he was human at all!! He didn't want to be seen as a.. girl. How was he going to explain his pain without blantly telling him about his identity?
"I.. have chronic pain. Yes, chronic pain! It come around every month or so, but sometimes it hits pretty hard. Right now I am in pain, so your horrible time-tracking skills came in handy, my dear machine. I will forgive you only this time for soiling my plans." Wpnz' eyebrows went up. He wasn't expecting to hear that when Puzzles hesitated. Chronic pain? Why didn't he tell him this sooner? They've been living together for about a month now. We'll, if he put it that way it actually made sense since Boxhead said about every month. Wait.. chronic pain about every month.. Karen used to have something kinda like that. Oh he could definitely bully him about this.
Wpnz put a smirk on his face. "Heh, ya on ya period, Boxhead?" The heavy artillery pointed a finger in Puzzles' direction. The television's face shifted to a horrified one. DID.. DID HE FIND OUT...? HOW?!? he quickly changed his screen to a wide grin, trying to play it off and hoping that Wpnz wouldn't dig deeper into it. "What? No, you bafoon! I can't even have one of those!" He crossed his arms and looked to the side. "Whatever ya say, drama king." Wpnz said before a pink blob waddled in, welding a coffee pot in a slime-tentical. The little tired guy raised it up and downed it before dropping the whole pot in his mouth.
Wpnz looked horrified. The big block of metal shook it off before smiling down at the goop. He kneeled down and stuck his hand inside of Toomp, trying to get the pot back as Toomp stood abnormally still. Toomp stared at Puzzles, not in a harmful way but just stared at him. Puzzles made a face at Toomp. "Got it!" He said as he pulled the pot out of the slime ball. "Ya know half-pint, I wanted some coffee too. Don't hog the pot!" He poked the glob with a smile before he stood up. "I'ma go downstairs to get some coffe, ya welcome to join us, vegetable."
Was that because he was in pain- "
