A/N I will be trying to make my chapters shorter in the future, so that they get out quicker 

-PartyKiller's P.O.V-

"You might want to sit down for this." As soon as PP said those words, PK looked down, what xe had agreed to settling in. Why did I agree to this... Am I really going to tell a Partygoer that I'm a Partypooper? Xe started shaking, terrified on how 56 would react. Will they kill me? Xe took a deep breath, and looked up at 56 and the human, who were both looking at PP with a slightly confused expression. It'll be fine, 56 didn't kill the human, so they wouldn't just kill me... Right?

56 nodded, still looking confused, and started walking past them, xe glanced around to see where they were going, and saw them heading over to a part of the room that had an armchair, couch, and rug. The human jolted when 56 started moving, and quickly followed behind them, giving PP and xer a wary glance. PP noticed how much xe was shaking, and gently took xer hand, leaning down to xer with a gentle smile.

"Blue face," They said the small nickname they had given them with affection, instantly making xer feel more calm, and less terrified.

"it's going to be fine, but are you sure you're up to this?" They kept their voice low enough that no one other than xe could hear, and xe squeezed their hand with a small nod. They stood up straight, and, still holding xer hand, brought xer over to the couch, where 56 and the human were now sitting. At the sight of 56, PK took a small step behind PP, obscuring xer slightly, 56 stared at PP.

"106, are you going to tell us who that Partygoer is, or are you just going to stand there?" PP flinched, and xe, knowing that they hated being called 106, gave their hand another squeeze.

"We are," They looked to the side nervously, before bringing their gaze back up to meet 56's.

"but before that, I'd like to understand why you're keeping a human at your house." The human jumped, and adjusted her glasses anxiously. 56 moved a little closer to her, and they started taking together in hushed whispers. PP and PK waited quietly, and xe felt xer heart rate pick up, xe leaned a little closer to PP, shaking again. PP looked at xer, and let go of xer hand, leaning down to give xer a brief, two-second hug.

They stood back up, taking xer hand again, and xe looked down, flustered. 56 and the human looked back up, and the human flickered her gaze between xer and PP, gripping the white fabric of her lab coat.

"As much as I am embarrassed to say this," The human rolled her eyes with a small scoffing sound, but she had a small smile on her face.

"I brought April to my house because I didn't feel like she should have just been killed, for a reason I don't really understand myself." The human, April as 56 had called her, ineffectively stifled a laugh, 56 shot her a glare. They stared at PP, and folded their hands in their lap.

"Now it's your turn to explain. Who is the Partygoer?" Xe was suddenly very aware of 56's claws as xe stepped fowards to stand directly beside PP, they were obviously anxious, but they were trying to hide it. They looked at xer, and lowered their voice to a whisper.

"I can tell them, you don't have to." Xe shook xer head, and stared at 56, taking deep breaths.

"Well, the thing is, I'm... not." Xe blurted, and 56's voice became quiet, but so loud xe almost had to cover xer ears. The human looked puzzled, but interested.

"...What?" Xe winced, and xer grip on PP's hand tightened.

"I'm a..." Xe trailed off, the words xe wanted to say caught in xer throat. Xe felt xer heart pounding in xer chest, and xe took a couple more deep breaths. If I can't bring myself to say it, I'll just show it.
