Chapter Text
Red held his coat in his hands, it was still warm from purple’s body heat. Red was about to pick up the book he dropped when a thud echoed throughout the ship. Red’s heart dropped and he realized it came from O2. Red got up and sprinted through the hall to find purple. They were face down on the floor, limp and they looked completely lifeless. “FUCK, PURPLE?! Purple are you okay!!?” Red yelled as he ran to purple’s body and dropped to their knees. Red gently put their hand on Purps back and flipped her so that she was facing them.
Her body was completely limp but she still had a pulse. Red gently cupped their face and saw they were already forming a bruise on their forehead from where they fell onto their head, Purple must’ve passed out from the lack of food…poor thing, red thought before he shook them lightly. “PURPLE WAKE UP PLEASE.” Red heard footsteps running towards O2, when he turned his head he saw yellow, brown and cyan. “What happened?!” Yellow said before they saw purple’s skinny limp body, “ARE THEY OKAY?!” Cyan squealed. “Do any of you guys know what to do?” Red didn’t care if he sounded clueless, he was panicking and he didn’t know what to do.
Brown quietly stepped forward and slowly lifted up purples legs from the back of their knees.

They slowly regained their consciousness.
Purples flinched slightly as the bright lights burned their eyes, their sight of vision slowly went to red’s worried face, he was breathing heavily and the second he felt purples body tense up a bit, he hugged her tightly. Burrying their face in her shoulder, purple weakly tried to push red off but it was no use, he was glued to them.
After they helped purple up, yellow immediately dragged purps to the cafeteria after they successfully pulled Red off of the crewmate. Purple sat down at a table closest to the kitchen so that they could hear Yellow’s rant about how purple should eat and that if anything was bothering them, to tell yellow to get it off their chest. Purple wasn’t paying to much attention though, their head hurt like hell and they felt this weird, familiar feeling when Red embraced them. Fuck feelings. Purple waited for Yellow to get don’t ranting before they got up and left the cafeteria despite Yellows side eyes. By the time purple made it to security, they tasted blood in their mouth and they realized they were literally biting their tongue the whole time.ew, purple always hated the taste of blood.
Purple sat down at the desk, her head still pounded painfully, maybe they should take care of themselves but just not now…they needed to do their job first. Purple closed her eyes and embarrassingly fantasized about Red holding them like that, forever. The feeling of red’s soft hands on their back, reds face on their shoulders, the absolute comforting warmth of his body. But that fantasy quickly died when they realized, this was Red they were thinking about, the bastard that would probably crash the ship for fun. The irresponsible asshole that abandoned Purple into the pits of hell, but for realistically, the pits of the reactor room. The fucked up part is that cams was right next to reactor, they had to stare at their trauma everyday, It was slow, painful torture.
Just like yesterday, they started flipping through cameras. Staring at the admin camera for way too long, almost like they were trying to find any trace of blood.
Red and purple used two unpaid interns. Doing all their tasks next to each other and laughing together and doing literally everything together. The one thing they both have in common is the fact they used to do everything together. Heck they even burned together (please laugh at my dark humor)
The first thing they did separately was their lives after the NDA. Red was thriving and living his best life while purple fought for jobs and starved so that the bills could get paid. Purple went through hell while red went through heaven. Unfair so unfair.

Red was pacing in nav, walking back and forth as he chewed on the skin around his finger nails. He was extremely worried about Purple, they literally fainted and Red is just expected to brush it off? Red couldn’t bring himself to it. Not when purple meant so much to him
Red and purple used two unpaid interns. Sharing all their food with each other and holding each others hands during thunder storms and they used to kiss…The one thing they both have in common is the fact they used to do everything together. everything.
The first thing they did separately was their lives after the NDA. Red was getting paid yes, but his mental health was going down extremely quickly while purple was being mysterious and ghosting him, for good reason too. Even red could silently admit he was fucked up for that. Red went through hell while purple went through life in mystery. Unfair so unfair
Red sat down and stared at this hands, the shine in his visor slowly fading before he buried his head in his hands.
