Hold My Hand [Seek x Figure]

Chapter 9 [Lost]

Figure POV:

After everybody had their breakfasts, I went to where Seek and I sat this morning. But I didn't hear Seek's heartbeats when I approached the seats. He must have left.

"Hey, Figure." A pitched sound filled my ears. This must be El Goblino. I turned to him and lowered my head implying I was listening. "Yes?"

"Should we explore the hotel now? I really don't want to get lost, so I don't want to go alone."

"Sure." I said, we got out of the cafeteria. And me, Jeff, El Goblino and well, Bob started exploring The Hotel. (QUICK REMINDER: The Hotel was always the same - like it had that Hotel+ update places and rooms etc. from the very start, but the new entities came later.)

"I'm really excited to visit room 100 even though I won't get to see it." Only if Seek was here, he would've described every single thing to me. Wait, we had a promise... We were going to visit room 100 for the first time together. Crap, what have I done? But I can't go back now... I already started walking with them.

I'm so stupid. Why would I even decide to hang out with different people, and not invite Seek? I wanted alone time to think about my feelings for him by staying away from Seek, but now what am I doing? I'm literally hanging out with new entities that just came to The Hotel today! I'm not even alone right now, it just looks like I'm ignoring Seek. I'll mess everything up. He won't accept my feelings when I confess to him. Stupid Figure.

"Uh, Figure? May I ask a question?" Jeff said, getting me out of my thoughts.

"Go on."

"I don't want to bother you but, I'm really curious. Is there something between you and that ink guy? I suppose his name was.. Seek." 

He caught me off guard. I started stuttering." Uh, why, what made you think that?"

"Well, I heard some entities talking about you guys."

I was mad people were talking behind me. "What did they say." I asked in a serious tone.

"Uhm... They found it quiet weird you suggested us to hang out together, and well, as what they said, leaving Seek there alone."

El Goblino joined the conversation. "Yeah, and I also heard that they were feeling bad for Seek."

"It's none of their business, why are they gossipping behind our back?" I said in annoyance.

"Okay, no need to get angry. Sorry for asking." Jeff apologised. But they were right, I was a terrible person.

El Goblino POV:

From the sudden change of Figure's feelings when Jeff mentioned Seek, I could tell something serious happened between them. But I wasn't going to ask nothing no more, no matter how much I wondered what happened. 

"Your hotel is really cool! And this place is really comfy to live in, not like our old living spaces." I said trying to change the conversation and get Seek off of Figure's mind for him to relax.

"I know right? I usually hang out in the library, and it's the most comfy place to live in for me. What's your favourite room so far, guys?" 

"Uhh, I would say the hangout place." Jeff mumbled.

"You guys should see the courtyard, it's a really cool place." Figure said and we kept walking until we needed some rest. We reached the room, where there were 4 paintings on the walls, and a fireplace.

The red square painting seemed interesting to me and Jeff, we made Bob sit in one of the chairs and we started discussing about the painting, whether if it was Rick Astley or just some random bad quality painting.
