You hummed to yourself, carefully rearranging some parts of your room to look neater. You even had music playing to keep yourself motivated throughout the night! It was a bit late, like 2 AM late, but that was alright. Better late than never you suppose. Suddenly, you heard knocking on your window. Wow, ain't that odd! You stepped right up to it, taking a peek outside and glaring into the darkness of your street. You hadn't seen anything so you chalked it up to the spooks.

You put some books on one of your shelves and stared at it for a moment. Something felt off. You couldn't tell if it was because of the way you organized it, the color, or what. So you just stood there, even taking a moment to pause the song you were on to focus on it. That was until you felt a pair of hands wrap around your stomach.

"Why, hello, dear...~" You heard a voice, it made you jolt but after turning your brain on you recognized it. Ah, Needles. Your... Weirdly off-putting and murder-y partner. He was great and snuck into your house more often than you'd like for cuddles, but he was nice company and was just the sweetest to you! Though, it wasn't like him to just grab hold of you like that so that was the first thing you asked him about.

"A-ah. Uhm. No reason at all... Am I not allowed to love you? Is that a misdemeanor on my criminal record now?" Needles tried to brush it off sheepishly, but you knew something was still up. Instead of being direct, you stared at him silently with a raised brow. The silence quickly got to him, throwing his hands up in defeat. "Ok, ok! Fine! I'll tell you. I went up onto this guy and I was really trying to be spooky and intimidating and even showing him the thing," He stepped back from you to do his fabled needles trick for you before continuing. "and he didn't even think I was scary!" Needles finished with a huff, crossing his arms.
