Chapter Text
Morning light filters in through the damaged blinds, waking the sleeping beauty up from his slumber. Wemmbu coughs. Its hot, he thinks to himself, barely able to get the thought out without coughing again.
He brings his knees up to his chest, wrapping his arms around himself in order to keep warm. Nope its fucking cold, he decides. A hand to the head tells Wemmbu he has a fever. Great. How are Parrot and him going to continue to travel when he's in this condition.
Then it hits him.
Parrot!
Theyre sleeping in one bed together.
Wemmbu snaps his head to the side a little too fast, making his neck hurt in the process. But Parrots side of the bed is empty.
Its getting harder to breathe with the panik rising in his chest. Where did Parrot go? Did he go back to the house? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
He stumbles out of bed, ripping open the bathroom door. Nothing. Wemmbu doesn't bother to put on his shoes or anything else but his pj's as he opens the door to the hall.
He trips over a step while running down the staircase, all he gets is a light head knock against the wooden walls, not hurting him much but it does add a fair amount to the already dizzying headache he has. Sweat is dripping down his forehead from the running and probably the fever.
When he makes it down to the cafeteria, its empty except for two guests enjoying their breakfast. Through hazy vision Wemmbu sees a pop of cyan, orange and green. His breath slows, he calms down, he found Parrot, he's safe, he didn't fail to protect him.
Its fine. It will always be fine. Parrot is smart, obviously he would never wander off like that, into a big open space while not knowing where he is on a server full of people ready to kill him.
Obviously Parrot would never abandon him.
not like manepear did
Parrot will always come back.
The blotchy vision starts to clear as he heads toward his bird, calling out for him. But he never answers.
His heart drops.
Thats not Parrot.
Its a stranger. A stranger with a funky colored wardrobe.
Wemmbu feels like hes going to throw up. His hands get shaky. The strangers take not of his presence, theyre talking to him. At least Wemmbu assumes by the moving of their lips. He cant hear much with the constant ringing in his ears.
Parrot actually left him.
Hes not coming back.
He will never come back.
Parrot couldn't stand being with him for more than a few days.
Mane couldn't either.
A hand to his shoulder snaps him out of his thoughts for a second. Wemmbu looks at the man. His eyes widen. Everything around him goes black.
Manepear and him are floating in the void, he tries to move but his body wont let him, hes frozen there like stone, fear piercing through his body.
Mane leans forward and whispers two words.
Lost.cause.
And suddenly hes falling. His mentor is laughing at him. No not just his mentor, its everyone.
Eggchan, Wemmbu failed him, he doesn't even know where he is.
MinuteTech, hes laughing at Wemmbu for leaving the end because he actually believed he could become some big fighter.
FlameFrags, taunting him for how weak hes become.
Not become but how pathetic he always has been.
But worst of all Parrot. There is no hint of sadness on his face, only pity and disgust. Hes telling Wemmbu, that no matter how many fights he escapes, he'll never escape himself.
