Among Us: Origin Story
Chapter 48: Three Lime?

That night, everyone was asleep. Except White who's still in the steering wheel. The quiet and cool night for the break did not make him sleepy in the least.

"You still here?" White turned his head and saw Black standing at the door in pajamas.

White squinted her eyes. He started to feel strange when he saw Black. Maybe because during the Airship, they rarely communicate with each other.

"Yes," White replied briefly then refocused forward.

Black's footsteps approached. Suddenly both of Black's hands landed on White's shoulders. Makes the guy surprised.

"Why?" Ask White.

"You know you're so stiff. Have you been lacking rest lately?" Black asked back.

"Tumben once you care about me" White commented.

"I don't care about you, but I care about Brown. Your wife confided in me earlier and managed to make me unable to sleep. Can you just leave that wheel tonight? I'm sure it's got an autopilot" Black replied.

"But..."

"There's no but-but. Go back to your room and ask Brown to massage your shoulders! Talk to him! Not having children alone does not care about the wife, especially if you already have," Black lecture.

"I can't possibly have children" White said pessimistically in a sad tone.

"certainly could. If you can't, just adopt it" Black suggested.

"But it's different from the one that has its own," White replied.

Black sighed, "Then talk to your wife. Don't let him be lonely. I don't like being a vent for married people."

White remained silent. He stared at his hand in control of the plane as he pondered Black's words.

"Huft, okay. I'm gonna do it. Thanks for the advice, Black," White said, leaving after turning on the autopilot.

"Together," Black replied, walking with White and parting at the intersection.

Black stopped in front of Lime's room door, which saw a light through the bottom of the door. He was also reminded of Lime's recognition when in security at that time.

"How can he hold it that long?" Black muttered to himself.

"What are you doing, Black?" Ask Lime who appeared from the front.

Black was surprised, "No, I just spoke to White."

"Oh, I see," said Lime and stopped in front of Black.

"By the way, why did you leave your room lights on when you weren't in the room?" Ask Black.

Lime shakes her head, "You mean?"

"I saw a light under your door" Black replied.

Lime looked down, "Nothing."

Black was surprised, "There, let's look down," Black looked down but he was again surprised when there was no light.

"But there really was" Martial Black then raised his head. But Lime was no longer in front of him.

"Where's he?" Black asked in a daze.

"Who are you talking to, Black?" Suddenly the door of the room opened and Lime looked out.

Black was surprised, "How did you get in the room?"

"Hows it? But I've been in the room a long time. I woke up because I heard your voice" Lime replied.

Black's face turned deathly pale. His body trembled and his hair stood up.

"Yahhhhh!!!" Black screeched then ran to Red's room and knocked on the door hard.

GECK! GECK! GECK!

"Room! Open door!" Black panicked.

The door opened and Black immediately rushed in and hugged Red who opened the door.

"You why?" Red asked puzzled as well as shocked from the sudden embrace.

Black did not answer. He buried his face into Red's chest and his body was still trembling. Red decides not to ask first and takes Black to his bed. Not forgetting the door was closed.

Red sat Black in his bed and gave him water from his bottle.

"Drink first" said Red.

Red sat down beside him and rubbed Black's back to give a calm feeling. Slowly, Black was back to normal. He looked towards Red and looked into his eyes deeply.

Black's hand lifted and landed on Red's cheek gently. Instantly Red remembered the incident in the kitchen at that time. A tingling feeling filled his chest cavity.

"Black, k-you're m-m-want what?" Red asked stuttering while keeping Black's hand away from his face.

But Black brought his face closer to Red's. Red retreated and his back hit the wall.

"You're really Red, aren't you?" Ask Black.

"Yes, it's me" replied Red.

"really?" Black asked again.

"Right," Red answered briefly, "What are you really doing? Suddenly come and huggle?"

Black lowered his head, "Red, can I sleep in your room tonight?" Pinta Black's.

Red scrunched his forehead and looked at his bed that only fit one person.

"Can. You slept in my bed. Later I move to the floor with a mattress," replied Red and stood up to pick up the mattress. But Black held his arm.

"We sleep in bed only," Black suggested and then looked at Red's eyes with a glare.

Red fell silent and finally relented. That night they slept in bed. Black is inside and Red is outside. Red turned his back to Black, but Black hugged Red from behind and buried his face into Red's neck.

Black is fast asleep, but Red is troubled by Black's breath touching his nape. He was very confused by Black's suddenly strange behavior.

The next morning, the two of them walked to the meeting room to pick up the task. Black had changed his clothes and was now walking while hugging Red's arm. Makes his friend more nervous.

They meet with Lime in the engine room which is also heading to the meeting room. Black suddenly runs faster than Red and approaches Lime.

BUKS!

"Ouch!" Black suddenly hit the back of Lime's head making the man in pain.

Red was shocked and immediately approached the two of them. He doesn't want any fights.

"Black, why did you suddenly hit me on the head?" Lime asked annoyed while holding the back of her head. Red held her shoulder to calm Lime down.

"You're really Lime, right?" Ask Black.

Lime scrunched her forehead, "Of course this is really me," she replied and turned to Red, "Your friend is why?"

"I don't know, last night he asked me the same thing" Red replied.

Black was still staring at Lime, "Where were you last night?"

"I? Last night I was playing cards in Blue's room until I accidentally fell asleep. I woke up at dawn to go back to my room" replied Lime.

"So last night wasn't you?" Ask Black again.

"I didn't see you after dinner" replied Lime.

"What's really going on, Black?" Ask Red.

Black sighed and then recounted the spooky incident he had experienced last night. Red and Lime get goosebumps when they hear Black's story.

"It's worth it to tremble last night" Red commented, wiping his arm.

"I'm the only one who can see them" Lime's inner self.

The three of them walked together to the meeting room while rubbing each other's arms. Trying to get rid of the horror.
