V: “I’ll be back little ones,, I’ll go deal with the book now.” *She’d head towards the house. Heinz looked at her,, worried about how it would go. He knew she’d be gentle and understanding and not as mean as some of the other hosts,, but he was still worried MG would take it wrong. What if she’d be mad at him,, cause she suspected he told on her. What if Violet wasn’t able to get the book?? What if MG just didn’t want to be with him anymore. Connie seemingly picked up on his anxious thoughts* C: “I’m sure everything will go fine. You two will be back to normal,, k-i-s-s-i-n-g under a tree~” *she’d giggle and get off her chair,, choosing to lay in his lap. She was such a cat,, he thought. Or dog. That too. She’d curl her tail around her body and Heinz could feel her purring. He’d softly pet her back,, then give her some chin scratches. He’d heard she’d like those. And boy did she,, she leaned into them and her tail wagged softly. He’d look back at the house. It seemed Violet had entered. He couldn’t hear anything, it was too far away,, but he guessed Violet was speaking with MG. Connie would stretch and sit up,, then get off his lap.* C: “Ok my hourly quota has been met,, time for me to dip-“ *she’d place her hands on the back of her head and start walking away* H: “Wait Connie- stay here a lil bit more. Please??” *she’d look at him confused. She’d then roll her eyes,, grumble a bit and huff in defeat* C:“Fine- don’t tell anyone though-“ *she’d sit next to him and kick her feet* H:“Thanks-“ *he’d take a deep breath.* C:“… I knew there was something going on with you two- I didn’t wanna ask cause it could’ve seemed nosy or yknow- like I’m interested in a bad way-“ H: “Oh…. Thank you for worrying I guess-“ C: “Do you- do you wanna talk about it?? Like- how you feel??” *she’d fidget with her name tag,, not wanting to look him in the eyes. It was the first time she asked anyone in LakeFig that. Heinz would be dumb founded for a moment,, then slowly nodded* “Yeah- I don’t know HOW to feel- I just feel sad and lonely and unwanted-“ C: “So what I feel daily??” *Heinz would pause to look at her. He looked as if he was just now understanding the severity of Connie’s loneliness. She didn’t like that. She’d shoo him with her paw* “I’m just joking ketchup boy- continue-“ *She was clearly lying,, but hed let it slide this time* H: “I don’t know if she likes me anymore,, romantically or not-“ *Connie would let out a little scoff* C: “Heinz. MG was behind your butt every single day after you arrived. She is not just gonna magically wake up one day and be like “HmMm I don’t like Heinz anymore!!!!!” And just not like you???? It don’t work that way-“ H: “What do you know about relationships…” C: “A LOT ACTUALLY THANK YOU VERY MUCH- I’ve had to third wheel with you AND with SL and PB. And GK and Pop occasionally when he doesn’t want to smite me.” Heinz would cross his arms,, he didn’t believe her. But she was probably right. How WAS she so good at comforting others?? He’d never know.
Finally,, Violet came out of the house,, MG in tow. Connie immediately stood from her seat and trotted away* C: “Welp,, I’m gonna hightail it outta here,, good luck!!” *Shed dissapear as she stepped into the brush. Not long after Violet arrived with MG. MG would hug Heinz tightly. MG: “Omg im so sorry Heinz- I- I got too caught up im so sorry-“ *He’d fight the urge to cry,, but eventually caved in,, tears streaming down his face. He’d hug her tightly,, not wanting to let go ever. MG would pick him up and sit on the stage of the elimination area,, holding him gently. She’d nod at Violet,, as a thank you. Violet would smile and walk away. Leaving them both alone* MG: “Glass im so sorry Heinz- I don’t know what’s be going on with me lately- these weeks have been awful and I can’t believe I’d just- *shed sigh,, frustrated with herself* I’m so sorry I made you feel this way I would never do this on purpose- I’m so sorry I’m such a bad gf,, please forgive me Heinz-“ *She held him tighter,, her arms slightly shaking.* H: “No no- don’t say that MG- *sniff* You are amazing,, you’re the kindest,, nicest person I’ve ever met. You’re the reason I haven’t lost my mind in here- you just got carried away- don’t beat yourself up” *He’d place a hand on her glass* “I love you even IF you make mistakes. Nobody is perfect ok??” *MG would look at him,, on the verge of tears. She’d hold him close,, pressing her head against his.* MG: “I love you so so much Heinz- you’re the best thing that has happened to me- don’t forget that,, ever-“
