Four and X have known each other since their childhoods. Four has always been the unlucky one, while X the lucky one (due to their value being 7). They are the best of friends, and they could never be separated. But soon, they start gaining feelings...
X's POV: Two walked over to me once again. I had been sitting against a dead tree for about.. some time now. "Hmm." I hated their presence. "What would you like to do? Since, heh, it's a bit boring just sitting there." I avoided looking Two in the eye. "Uhh.. Do you know how to.." I didn't know what I was saying. Why was I going to interact with Two? The one who ruined everything? Despite my thoughts, I continued speaking, "Pattycake?" Two stared at me for a good minute before even opening their mouth. I thought I had messed something up already. "Ehhh.... Sure. Sounds fun." They grinned at me. I got up and smiled back. We began to play Pattycake.
Four's POV: I opened my eyes to see a new location. Where am I? Where's X?? Suddenly the memories come flooding back, once again. I don't feel angry anymore. Just sad. Lonely.. It was like I was living my own nightmare. A world without X.. Horrible. I was sitting against a tree, feeling distraught. I didn't even notice Taco waving her hand infront of me. Except I did. But I ignored it. Firey walked up to me, humming a familiar tune, "Doo, doo, doo, doo doo! Four! What's wrong? You look depressed!" This felt all too familiar. However, I played along, "Oh, I dunno. I just don't know what I am! Where my co-host is!" I realised where this was from. Me and X's meeting... This made me feel even more horrible. Firey spoke up out of nowhere, "Then let's go to the!- Wait, what?" Taco pushed him out of the way. "Did you just say you don't know where your co-host is?" To this I responded, "Yeah! Where's X!" Taco suddenly got angry at me. "Four! You told X to leave!" These words stung like a knife in my chest. It felt like I just got stabbed 78 times in the heart. I told X to leave. I told X to leave. I told X to leave. It repeated in my head like a broken record.

X's POV: I could hear the contestants' conversations. Most of them were talking about the prize. Others were talking about how I had chose to come with. I never chose to. Four made me... But I guess they need their space. Even though I knew that this was because Four was distraught.. It still hurt. It still made me want to cry. My thought train was broken as my left hand didn't meet Two's hand. I missed. "Ah- Sorry. I was distracted." Two didn't respond, they instead put their hands up so they were at Two's chest. They smiled at me. ..I guess Two isn't that bad. I was starting to feel better about all this. I put my own hands up and we continued playing Pattycake.
Four's POV: The challenge was to bring back X. I was relieved that they knew where X was. I could be hosting with them again.. Even though X is coming back, it doesn't change the fact that it's your fault they left in the first place. I still felt horrible about driving X away. I thought it would come off as.. A cry for comfort? X didn't know that... What if they knew it was a cry for comfort but just wanted to get away from me? I hated that thought. But there's a chance that.. X doesn't like me.
X's POV: I hear a van approaching and, for whatever reason,, I hear familiar voices coming from it. Two suddenly looks behind me and stops playing. I glance behind me. FreesmartSupervan??????????? There's contestants inside. But they aren't TPOT contestants. What are BFB contestants doing here? Before I even knew what was happening, Teardrop had grabbed me and was stomping back over to the van. But then somebody else grabbed me and tried to bring me back to TPOT. I didn't even know what was going on. Someone said something about superglue and Two said something along the lines of, "But Coiny don't you know that can damage your skin? Well it damages your skin indeed." I wasn't fully paying attention anymore. When I snapped back to reality I was being shoved onto an orange puddle on the floor. What the actual equation is going on?! There was so much stuff happening and I couldn't keep up with it all at first. But when I thought it had settled down I was grabbed by a rope and was suddenly flying through the air. I let out various screams of fear.
Four's POV: I was staring into nothing. Actually, I was lost in thought. Was I? Who knows. I actually don't know, I guess I was just daydreaming. About what? I forgot. Whatever broke my train of thought must've been loud. Or maybe important. Okay enough acting oblivious. You know what happened you're just in disbelief. I heard a familiar voice coming from the distance. In the air? What was X doing in the air? Before I could even act on the situation X landed in Loser's saliva mark. Cool. X marks the spot. I spoke without thinking, it was automatic at this point. Whenever a challenge was won, I would just say what happened and say who won. Despite this challenge being about X, it wasn't any different.
~Timeskip~
I grabbed X and pulled them into a tight hug. "X! I'm so happy you're back! Are you?" This question was something I was afraid of asking. It might determine whether they like me or not. X spoke up, "I dunno, how good are you at Pattycake?" Pattycake? Whatever, just respond and make X happy. "I'm super pro!" I was smiling. "Yaaay! Then I'm happy too!"

X's POV: I don't know why I had said it like that. It made it sound like I only cared about Pattycake. But infact I was just happy to be next to Four again. I was so happy I could burst into tears. Nothing matters anymore. Only Four matters now. I'm so happy... They came back for me. Four couldn't even do one challenge without having me on their mind.. How sweet! Four stood there gripping onto me as if they were going to lose me if they let go. I didn't say anything. I just snuggled in Four's arms and enjoyed every second of it. I love you, Four. I said in my head. I imagined them speaking up and saying, "I love you too, X." But that's just a fantasy in my head. At least, I thought it was.
