Weeeeelcome to chapter six on this continuation of pain and suffering- no pun intended. Now let's get started! Also I decided to be nice and actually put effort for once! So enjoy!

"It's written in the walls...as we walk in a straight line"
Y/N was muttering to himself, half awake green eyes were staring at the floor infront of him. A pair of headphones were blasting music into his ears. His face was sunken in and saddened. Now he wasn't all happy go lucky look at me! Like every other inkling and what not. But this depressive side was rarely seen anyways.

A knock snapped his head up as one side of the headphones fell off and  he sighed, getting off the bed to open the door.

Once open a very VERY hyper Callie burst in, tackling y/n to the floor. Making his bandana fly off and go into a messy corner. How it got that way after one night? You shall never know.

Callie: Y/N get up! Breakfast is ready! C'mon c'mon!

She started to drag him, getting himself out the door and halfway down the hall before letting go.

With this he stood, dusting himself off, giving a small death stare to her.

Y/n: not really in the mood, but thanks anyway. If you need me I'll be listening to music.

He pulled out his phone and fixed his headphones before blaring his music once again. Making the trip downstairs without the popstar.

Once down he saw Marie quietly reading a book, upon closer inspection he noticed it was a book he enjoyed too.

Rangers apprentice, the ruins of gorlan (if ya read this than we are automatically friends-)

Y/n: didn't expect for you to enjoy reading fantasy.

He muttered this but she shot up anyway, pulling him down next to her.

Marie: don't judge a book by its cover, I quite enjoy them and hope to write my own soon anyway.

Y/n was surprised but nodded, not speaking.

The two stayed in an akaward silence and  Callie soon joined them. Sitting across with a bored expression.

Callie: Gah! Why are you so boring Marie...and why is Y/N being a jackass today! What did we do-
Y/n almost snapped but seemed to stay calm

In reality many many thoughts ran through his head
'well...been kidnapped, forced to do things, and all those beautiful things-'

Marie: Callie! Watch your language!

(I'm going to point this out now- I make it seem like I hate Callie but I don't- she's the second best then I like Marie and Marina the same-              But Pearl is the goddess)

Callie only turned away and didn't respond. She also was having many many thoughts
'why do you always get y/n! I never get to spend time and when I do you sweep him away!'

Marie currently had brain attacks too
'why does he seem to enjoy off the hook alot more than us- hell he's even in a bad mood...I wonder what's up.

Through the whole ordeal y/n stayed silent. His eyes dimming. Absent-mindedly his hand Rose to his neck, gripping for the black and purple piece of cloth....

When he couldn't feel it-

Well he lost it of course.

Y/N: "NO! NO NO! WHERE IS IT!"

His breathing became harder, his chest Rose up and down at a accelerated pace. His eyes searched frantically, seeming to pop out of his head. Beads of sweat trickled down his face.

Marie and Callie jumped, being surprised. Not knowing what to do.

But like a miracle some octoling knew what to do since she pays attention to the plot-

Marina who had went to y/n's room to give him food, didn't find him. But since she doesn't know personal space well she intruded to his room and noticed the bandana.

Marina knew it was close to the green inkling so she decided to be nice and bring it down for him.

With care and precision Marina placed it around his neck.

Instantaneously y/n swung around and attempted to slap her but she easily caught it.
Once seeing her he softened and gripped the black and purple bandana, almost bawling like a baby.

Callie: jeez...what's so good about that bandana.

Marina slapped the back of her head, huffing slightly

"If either of you would pay any attention. He told us that his sister made it! Hell he told you two first!"

As she said this Pearl descended down the stairs, yawning slightly

Pearl: "yo what did I miss- what happened here?"

She pointed towards a ball on the floor, well semi ball. It was just y/n curled up in a fetal position. Crying to himself. Not making a single sound.

Eventually after small arguing the four decided to stick with their original plan. Because it may or may not cheer him up.

After drawing sticks, Marie had to tell him.

Now, they didn't stay in the lounge to do this, they had left to pearls new bedroom while y/n left back to his.

Marie gently knocked on the inkling's temporary door.

"It's Marie...can I come in y/n"

It took a minute but eventually y/n had allowed Marie in. Once inside she saw him on his bed. Headphones askew and gone. Both green eyes slightly red and puffy.

Y/n: what do you want Marie?

His glance was weak and she almost shattered.

Marie: "well...we were going to the octink hotel. Ya know the famous one! Either that or how about the beach? You can pick."

He put his hand to his chin, seeming to think before shaking his head.

Y/n: how about neither? You can go, but I'm just done. Mentally exhausted. Anyway fans would drag you four away so what's the point of me coming? To get a broken nose? How about a shattered jaw. No, I'm going down to the graveyard. Feel free to join if you wish, just don't attract attention.

Marie was shocked, hearing him tell her this on how he didn't want to be seen with them- it's absurd!

Marie: But-

Once again the male snapped this time getting of the bed and yelling, both fist clenched into tight balls

Y/n: No! Go ruin someone else's life! I want to be returned to the way I was before! I was the perfect inkling! All alone, uninhibited by foolish emotions! Now I'm just a confused freak that people want dead because you talk with me.

Every word was drenched in venom. And he stormed out, not even glancing at Marie, or the other three when leaving outside.

Halfway to the cemetery it began to rain, of course water can kill them but he never even cared. It hit him and burnt as if being shot but he let it come.

Soon enough he was infront of a grave stone.

'Yotishi L/N' (first random name off the top of my head-)

Back at the mansion Marie was telling the others what happended. Although she knew y/n was just in a emotional bypass.

Callie: well that explains the screaming.

Marina and Pearl glance at each other, going into a quick discussion before giving out a small news flash.

Pearl: I think we should let the guy cool off for a good week. We can visit em then... anyway we have another gig next Friday and he promised so we are going to see the guy anyway."

Marina smiled to lighten the mood.

"Yeah! So don't worry guys he will be fine."

(smol time skip arooni)

When they visited his home, y/n was nowhere to be found.

Today was the day for pearls and Marina's gig.

They had a new song to sing

Although they couldn't find him they went with it anyway. Knowing the green headed male was out there anyway, watching.

Pearl:
I cannot tell if it's day or night
Everything blurs together into white
All I see is your face in
my mind
Talking to me but not ever waisting my time
You make me feel like a princess
Drinking the best of wine
Your eyes start to make mine twinkle
And they
Get~~~~~~~~
Brighter Brighter!

Yo!~ Marina play that beat

Marina: will do!

Pearl: Yo let's get pumped!

Because of you I have fire!
We have the power of tigers
Because of you we fly higher!
Everything gets smaller
But your love it just glows brighter!

X2

Marina: Li~ li~
Listen to this harmony
We can see your mind
Going higher higher
Untill it ignites
And causes a fire
A great fire that will grow brighter!
Brighter brighter!

X 2

Both:
I cannot tell if it's day or night
Eventually all things blur to white
All I can see is your face in my mind
It corrupts like a growing fire
Rising steady and getting brighter!
Brighter brighter!
Brighter brigter!
Your like a monster but yet your light shines!
Brighter brighter!

The crowed erupted into appluase. And among them was y/n, as a bright light shown from above, almost blidning the poor man-

Pearl: look yo's it's the man of the hour and the reason for our song!

Marina: hey crowed can y'all help us and bring him up?

Without even a second gone by y/n found himself being lifted up and waved over towards the stage...
Man what would his family say if they saw him now.
Pearl: By the way yo the song is called Brighter Brighter! Or simply you can bring a lighter!
Marina sweat dropped
Marina: well it's just brighter brighter.
Now let's start the next track!
Pearl jumped up happily and brought y/n with her, Marina at his other side, both took a hand and pecked his cheeks
Marina & Pearl: next is color pulse!

====================================
