A/N: All the killers have talents but, chose murder and psychotic tendencies over genuine talent

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the next day since yesterday's dinner was uneventful and you had Jason, Philip,  and Evan sit with you again and it seemed Pyramid head and Hannibal enjoyed their company. They were the quiet giants minus Hannibal. You couldn't say gently because they could easily kill you one-handed but, you knew they wouldn't do that. You trusted them, as silly as that sounds. You were preparing for breakfast when you heard a ruckus outside. You peeked out the door and you saw a bunch of guards manhandling Michael from breakfast.

"What happened?" You were waiting for someone to answer and just as you thought you wouldn't get an answer one of the guards you didn't like looked at you. 

"He went crazy." What? He was one of the most well-behaved, what could've triggered him? You didn't see any of the others so he didn't get into a fight with one of them. It had to be something that was said, possibly the voices in his head. He's been so well-behaved though. You returned to grab your bags and headed to the lunchroom intending to figure out what happened. As you walked you heard the bell signaling breakfast started and you made it just in time. When you entered you were perturbed that all your patients/friends were looking at you, even Albert and Amanda were watching your every move. It was unnerving and had you walking slowly to grab water and juice from the breakfast line and sit down at the nearest table. Maybe you'll save your questions for later. 

"Good morning." Your voice came out much softer than intended but, due to the sheer silence everyone heard it and that seemed to have broken the trance they were in because they all went back to their food but, it was still silent. Strange. You looked over everyone, eyes falling onto Pyramidhead who was already turned staring at you. You took one bite of your food and looked up at the sound of someone moving. You watched with widened eyes as Pyramidhead grabbed his food, got up walked to where you were, and sat down next to you. 

"Morning." You dropped your food in shock looking up at Pyramidhead who glanced at you before focusing back on his own food. You took that as your cue to pick your food back up and eat, as the conversation started up again. You looked up and saw Brahms, Jason, and Bubba this time coming over and they just sat with you guys. It seemed they had warmed up to each other and you figured they would considering how long they all have been here.

"How are you feeling, miss Y/N?" You loved how sweet Brahms was and you smiled up at the man.

"I feel pretty good actually. I saw Michael was brought out of breakfast, do you know why?" You were genuinely curious and you looked around and didn't see Freddy there either. 

"Freddy started." You turned to the raspy voice that came from Jason and smiled in thanks at him. 

"That explains why I don't see Freddy." They must've taken him right before you saw Michael or they took him somewhere else.

"Freddy was being extra annoying and ignored everyone that was telling him to leave Michael alone." You looked at Hannibal surprised he spoke a whole sentence to you. Normally he was quiet, which meant he was warming up to you.

"He really should've listened. Now they're both punished...Hopefully, not a long time." 

"It's usually for a week or less. Might be less since it's been a long time since either one of them got in trouble." You nodded your head and you guys continued eating as you looked around the lunchroom catching Ji-woon's and Albert's eyes so you smiled at both of them. You wondered if they were going to have activity time today or tomorrow. You remembered talking to Randall about it. 

"That means neither of them will be participating in activity time." They shook their head no and you sighed as you finished drinking your juice and placed your iPad this time in the center to play horror stories for all of them to hear on the table.

"Would you like to hear me play the piano?" You turned to Brahms surprised.

"I had no idea you could play the piano! I would love to watch and listen to you play." He nodded and looked back down at his food, eating it slowly. Jason hasn't said a word but, just like Pyramidhead and Hannibal he was listening to the horror stories playing from your iPad.

"20 minutes until breakfast is over!" You wished Michael was here, he might've appreciated the horror stories even if he compared them to his killings. Freddy's witty banter would've been fun too. You heard a throat clearing.

"Activity time is today my dear." You turned to Hannibal and smiled in thanks at him.

"Are you going to be there, this time?" He was quiet as if thinking about it before nodding his head. 

"I will join everyone this time, even if I am not as wanted by some." You weren't going to delve into that because you can think of a couple of reasons why a cannibal is not wanted but, you digress. They all were in here for a reason and shouldn't be judging each other. You looked up at Pyramidhead catching his red eye.

"Are you coming too?" He grunted with a slight head nod and you smiled at him. You went back down at your phone and hummed as no more conversation was held. You were excited about activity time and it was going to cover lunch too, so everyone was going to have lunch in the activity hall. That was exciting and something to look forward to. 

-------------------------------------------------------

You had packed up some embroidery stuff and a cardigan that needed to be finished sewing with you instead of the normal crochet stuff. Sewing for some reason took such a long time to do and it allowed you to focus more on your surroundings than crocheting did. You were the last one to enter the activity hall and you chose a table that Pyramid Head was sitting at. This time he had an animal picture book and was looking at it, not minding that you placed all your stuff on the table. He adjusted and brought it to his chest continuing to look at the animals. Now you knew for a fact no one would bother your stuff, not even the legion group who you felt were mischievous and would hide or take your things. 

"Let's see what Brahms was up to." It was three hours of free time including the hour lunch they would have here which is impressive. You feel their time was extended for some reason and it had to be because of you. You were the only nurse who stayed here and tried to get along with everyone with success. Medium-paced success, but success nevertheless. You looked around and saw Brahms at the piano already staring at you, waiting. You scurried over there with a small wave and stood to the side looking down at his hands.

"I am a little nervous but, I want you to listen." You nodded choosing to remain silent to keep from ruining his concentration. It was a few seconds before a beautiful melody came from the piano. Your eyes widen as you look between his hands and the porcelain mask, his fingers flying over the keys playing songs you didn't recognize but, he was talented. You wish you could play the piano, that would be amazing. You stood there until he was done and he looked over at you with an almost shy air about him.

"How long have you been playing piano? You're so talented, you're good with your hands. I loved it." You heard his voice hitch and you watched as he squeezed his hands and took a deep breath. 

"For many years, I just picked up a book and taught myself how to read music notes and play." That was even more impressive. It's one thing to be taught by someone else how to play an instrument, but to be self-taught? That's dedication and hard work.

"You should be very proud of yourself for being able to do that. That's dedication and hard work you put into something you enjoy." It was quiet for a few seconds before he turned to you fully.

"Are you proud of me?" You were caught off-guard momentarily not expecting him to ask that but, you answered regardless.

"Yes, I am very proud of you." You leaned in and gave him a quick hug, feeling the way he tensed and went stock still. You pulled back about to apologize thinking you crossed a boundary but, he beat you to it.

"I like your hugs." Well, that was a relief. You thought all your progress went down the drain just now but, you're glad that it didn't.

"I'm glad, would you like for me to keep hugging you? I don't mind, I love giving hugs." You both agreed and you left him to his own devices to seek out Vincent and Bo to see if maybe you could do some wax sculpting with them. Even just Vincent and Bo were near reading about cars and motorcycles, it would be a form of bonding with them. You found Vincent already at work and Bo was near him reading a book. Both of them looked up at your approach and you smiled gently at both of them.

"Hi, Y/N." You grinned at Vincent waving at him and nodding at Bo who nodded back.

"I didn't mean to intrude I just wanted to spend time with you two if you don't mind." When you got nods from both of them you sat across from Vincent, grabbed a piece of wax and a scalpel, and set to work on making something. You had no idea what you were doing but, you were creative, confident, and good with your hands so you went with it. Vincent was the good one here, not you. The three of you sat in comfortable silence with Vincent showing you his creation a couple of times and in turn, you showed him yours. You managed to make half a star and he made half a car. There is definitely a difference in skill between you two.

"Yours is good for a beginner." You looked up in shock at Bo before smiling largely at him. You got a compliment and more than two words from him! This was a game-changer.

"That means so much coming from you Bo, thank you." You didn't want to overstay so you left your wax creation with Vincent. "I'm going to let you hold it, I know it's in safe hands." You placed the half-star in his hand, patting the closed hands, and turned to Bo with a closed-lip smile before trying to find your next target. Danny, Stu, Billy, and Ji-woon were playing an intense game of cards in which you had no interest playing in right now. You'll talk to them after they're done. You looked and saw Jason, Brahms, Evan, and Philip sitting with Pyramidhead who had not moved an inch, and your stuff was still safely tucked away in his arms. You were going to head straight to them since Anna was rather moody and Amanda was still talking about you're nothing but meat so you'll try your luck another time. 

"I thought you were going to stay with Bo and Vincent." You shook your head no at Philip and took a seat in between Evan and Pyramid head, reaching for your cardigan and sewing needle and thread to sew the squares together. It was a patchwork cardigan and it took a long time to make all the squares and now it's going to take a few hours' worth of work to sew everything together.

"I don't want to overwhelm them. I'm just happy I was able to sit and work with wax with them." You looked around and saw they all were coloring, except Pyramid Head who was still looking at the pictures or maybe daydreaming who knows what the big guy was thinking most of the time.

"I haven't colored in such a long time..." Evan mumbled under his breath as he was meticulously coloring in a Mandela drawing. You tried to do Mandela crochet and it was okay but, it made you want to throw your yarn and hook and scream. 

"It's really fun once you get the hang of it again." Evan side-eyed you non-maliciously and you smiled looking back down at your squares and you started sewing them. It was nice and comfortable and you glanced down to see Evan was pressing his leg against yours in comfort which was nice. This was nice and you stayed there with them, until the bell rang signaling lunchtime. You grabbed the rest of your stuff from Pyramid head's arms and placed it on his thighs instead. All of them moved their things as the lunch trays were placed down in front of them and you grabbed a juice and bottle of water off the cart. You looked around and decided to sit with Billy, Stu, Danny, and Ji-Woon. 

"You're leaving us so soon?" You smiled in surprise at the teasing tone from Philip.

"What can I say? I'm a busy bee." You winked and grabbed your lunch making your way over to the aforementioned group sitting in between Billy and Danny with Stu and Ji-Woon across from you guys. 

"Hi, doll!" Danny wrapped both arms around you pulling you in for a tight hug which you returned before settling back down to eat his lunch. "What brings you over here, huh? You were all over the place today." You shrugged your shoulders smiling playfully.

"I was all over the place but, I made time for you guys." You turned to Billy pushing his hand down when he went to eat and he rolled his eyes making you giggle at him. You knew they all could technically flip a switch and possibly kill you but, something in your heart told you they wouldn't. You were going to listen to your heart because she never steered you wrong, even now. He hummed and the four of you engaged in conversation, even Ji-Woon which was a surprise but, he wasn't too hard to understand. The language barrier was noticeable when it came to reading English but, he spoke perfect English and understood what he was saying. How strange. 

"Do you pretend to not read English?" Stu asked this and ducked in time to miss Ji-Woon's swinging hand. Stu is so silly it's cute.

"No Idiot! I can't fucking read the shit but, I know what the fuck I be saying!" He was so easily riled up that it was funny. Time flew by like this and before you knew it, there were 10 minutes left before clean up and everyone returned back to their rooms. Even though Michael and Freddy were missing and you would've loved to spend time with them, you still enjoyed yourself and got some sewing done as well. You waved at the four men and went back to Pyramid head, packed up your stuff, and helped clean up the tables until it was time to go. As the bell rang and you watched everyone get handcuffed and chained to head back to the rooms you couldn't help but, think about doing this again.
