Anger let out a small puff. What a day it had been for him. Riley was becoming a handful to take care of these days, which put a lot of pressure onto him. He's never had to step in this much before. Usually it was Joy doing all this work, but ever since they moved to this new town, he's had to step in to do his work. When it wasn't him, it was either Disgust or Sadness taking the wheel. The guy didn't mind, but all this was beginning to stress him out. He flopped onto a near by cushion and groaned into it. Maybe tomorrow Riley would be calm enough to let Joy do some work…

"Pretty rough day today, huh?"

Speak of the devil. Anger turned his head to see the bright emotion approaching up to the screen. She pressed a few buttons on the control panel, and it brought up a memory of Riley listening to some music. It was soft, calming music that began to play around headquarters. Joy sat back onto a cushion next to Anger and let out a content sigh. Anger sat himself up to get a better look at the memory.

"For me, yeah. You've been able to take it easy these past few days."

He replied, lifting up his arms to stretch. Joy looked over at him and back to the memory.

"Yeah…wish I could get more chances to step in. Riley needs some excitement in her life right now."

"Hey I don't blame the kid for acting like she is," Anger said, scratching his chin, "With the move and all these changes, probably taking a toll on her."

Joy nodded and looked down at her feet. Not only did their environment change, but so was Riley. It honestly frightened Joy. She didn't like change, and whished things were able to go back to like they were at their old home. But she knew now it wasn't going to be the same. She tried to push that to the back of her mind, and focus on the music in the memory.

"I'm sorry a lot of it has to be put on you."

She said to him, knowing he was having most of the stress out of all of them. He huffed and laid back into the cushion.

"Don't sweat it. It's my job."

The last thing he wanted was someone feeling sorry for him. He wanted to keep his image as top guy the best he could, which meant not to show weakness. Though, he was exhausted, and a yawn he let out showed it to Joy.

"Tired?"

Great, now she knew. He turned a bit away from her, mumbling a response. He knew how she got when others were having problems. Joy looked at him with a side grin. She knew how Anger got when someone was concerned for him. Anger sighed, getting a bit lost in the melody of the song when he suddenly felt arms around him. Before he knew it, he was lifted up into a warm embrace.

"Ack, Joy! I'm fine really…you can put me down."

He squirmed a bit in her grasp, but knew it was useless. When Joy gave a hug, she was going to hug you. She hugged the small guy for a bit then set him back down on the cushion.

"Things will be better tomorrow. You rest up now."

She said to him, patting his head. Then stood up and headed back to her cushion. Anger squinted at her and snuggled back into the cushion. He steadied his breathe, and began to focus back on resting again. Joy sat back down into her cushion, and looked up at the ceiling. The sound of laughter caused her to look back at the memory on the screen though. Playing on the memory, her parents were now both dancing to the song, while Riley watched and laughed. Joy remembered giving Riley her feelings of Joy during it. Oh, how she wished a memory like this could happen again.

"I hope things get better for you too tomorrow Riley."

She whispered, and brought a hand up to her face to wipe a small tear that had formed. Funny, usually this only happened to Sadness. Anger had overheard her, and looked over to see her wipe her face. His expression softened, and he sighed. Guess this change wasn't only taking its toll on him and Riley. Even the happiest of all emotions was feeling it. He thought to himself, shaking his head as his thoughts clashed. Looking back over at her, he made up his mind and sat himself up. He tiredly stumbled over to her, and looked up at her. When Joy noticed Anger coming up to her, she quickly wiped her face and got a smile on her face.

"Oh, Anger. Rested up already?"

Anger took a deep breath and climbed up on her cushion to get up to her height as best he could.

"Don't think this is because I'm soft or anything. Whenever you see people down, you do this too so. I'm just copying."

Then he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her in an awkward embrace. Joy's eyes widened a bit, surprised at Anger's sudden affection. But, she didn't mind. She needed this, and she knew he probably needed more too. She slowly wrapped her own arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder. Anger felt himself heat up at their closeness, hoping to wrap up this hug.

"Thank you."

Joy said to him, closing her eyes as she continued to hug him. Anger nodded a bit, and patted her back as comfortingly as he could provide. He wanted to pull away but, Joy was already comfortably rested against him. He was already feeling too tired to get back up again. Maybe if he just… Anger leaned against her too, getting comfortable the best he could. Joy felt him lean into her, and she smiled. She leaned back and snuggled with him against the cushions. She was thankful for his comfort. He usually didn't put up with this kind of thing this long. Anger hoped his heat wouldn't bother her. He felt at ease though as he felt Joy's chest rise up and down slowly under him. The memory up on the screen began to play another soothing song, that soon helped the two cuddled emotions drift off into a state of calm.
