~The next day~

The light from an unidentified object streamed into the room through the slightly parted curtains and hit your face making her moan with irritation and roll over to press her face into her pillow.

The faint smell of eggs wafted under the door, and to her nose. You perked up, eyes flying open. You began to salivate, suddenly feeling fresh as a daisy. Said flower started to blossom in her hair sparsely.

You tumbled out of bed and groaned at the impact, realizing she had slept in the clothes from yesterday. You stumbled to her feet, hissing at the feeling of cool wood against her bare toes.

You walked to the door and swung it open, sighing as the scent of eggs became stronger. Your foot nudged a pile of clothing that had been placed outside the door. You bent over to pick it out, inspecting the torn note that had been left.

Y/N
Here are some spare clothes for you to wear. (Don't worry, they're clean!) Just leave your dirty clothes on the bed for Swap later
- Stars

You smiled and retreated back into the room and got changed. The tracksuit pants were a few sizes too big, and the jumper was oversized, but it was warm and comfy.

You trekked out of your room, closer to the intoxicating smell. You were greeted with the sight of a skeleton standing over the stove, cooking some eggs and bacon. There were a couple of skeletons sitting at a table and two sitting on the lounge.

You smiled sheepishly, realizing these were basically strangers. Your eyes caught the red glow of Fell's, and he looked away, grumbling and chewing a toothpick.

You were a bit disheartened at that. Was it a mistake to kiss him last night? Your thoughts were interrupted by an excitable skeleton placing a plate of steaming hot eggs in front of you.

"Eat them while they're hot!" He exclaimed, a big smile on his face. You grinned back and dug in, closing your eyes as the first bite met your tongue. The skeleton let out a laugh at your expression, turning back to his frypan.

"I'm Swap, by the way!" He called, moving the eggs around in the pan. You swallowed your eggs, nearly choking in the process, and looked up to him.

"I'm Y/n!" You introduced yourself politely, shovelling more eggs into your mouth. Man, had it really been that long since you ate anything? Swap turned around and served you one more egg, an excitable look on his face.

"That," He began, using the spatula as an extension of his hand as he pointed at you, "Is a lovely name." He finished, sending you a friendly wink. You let out a laugh, thanking him.

You heard a small cracking sound next to you, almost like the splintering of wood. Your head swung around to that direction, fork halfway to your mouth.

Fell was sitting next to the six-crack-skeleton, practically fuming. His toothpick had been bitten in half and he was grinding his teeth while looking at Swap.

When he noticed that you were looking at him, he glared at you, cheeks slightly reddening. Why was he so upset Was he ... jealous?

"What are you lookin' at?" He spat, looking away. The skeleton next to him gave him a distasteful look, eyes scrunching up.

"Fell, what's happening?" He asked, voice small in comparison to Fell's. Swap sensed the awkwardness and changed the subject, sitting down to eat his own plate of eggs.

"Oh! Have you met B? His name is Blindy - Well, I guess we just call him Blindy, but mostly we call him B, so you should too." He rambled, not making sense at all.

B shook his head, smiling slightly. You nodded, offering a kind, smile, even if he couldn't see you.

"Well, I guess you already heard, but my name is Y/N." You introduced yourself in a gentle voice, pausing your ravenous eating. B nodded, eyes staying closed.

"Nice to meet you," He said softly, making you grin.

The moment was broken by Swap's eyes suddenly widening, causing him to stand suddenly. Both you and B jumped, while Fell just rolled his eyes.

"I jusmf - I justw remewebered!" He exclaimed mouth full of food. He dashed to a cabinet, rummaging through it intensely. You leaned over to the counter to get a better look at what he was doing, curious.

Swap suddenly jumped back to you, holding a small box.

"I found these yesterday! Let's have some!" He offered, brandishing a box of your favourite type of pop tarts. You gasped, a smile stretching on your face.

"They're my favourite!" You practically shouted, feeling starstruck. Swap jumped with joy and began opening the box, grinning madly. You glanced at Fell to gush about the breakfast food, where you were greeted with a peculiar sight.

Fell was blushing, an awestruck look on his face. His eyes were in a heart shape again, and he was staring at YOU. What? Why was he staring ... like that?

"Here you go, N/N!" Swamp chirped, already using a nickname for you. You glanced back to thank him, and to grab a pop tart, but when you glanced back, Fell wasn't looking at you anymore.

Instead, he let out a cruel laugh. You looked at him quizzically, raising a brow at his strange characteristics. He shook his head, snickering.

"Nice hair, gardener." He teased, crossing his arms. Your heart dropped and you reached up to your hair, texture confirming your suspicions. Your hair was full of flowers - Flowers that had grown involuntarily.

The other kids had always laughed at you for this subconscious habit, and some had even gone so far as to pick the flowers from your hair, you felt the sharp pricks as they did so. So, you were very insecure about people teasing you for growing flowers.

You frowned, brows drawing in a sad expression. Apparently, Fell couldn't take a hint...

"Looks like someone grew a garden on your head!" He sniggered, looking to Swap.

"Doesn't it?" He asked, chuckling at his own jokes. You couldn't take it anymore and ran from the kitchen, all the way to your room.

You collapsed onto your bed, feeling the flowers wilt from your hair because of your sadness. Why had you kissed him? He was nothing but a bully, just like the kids from school.

You clutched the dead flowers in your hands, frowning. A drop of water fell onto one of the flowers, and it bloomed back to life, if only for a second, before your emotion made it wilt again, as it was touching you.

You shook your head, throwing the flowers away. Why did you have to have nature powers?
