Chapter Text
It was a calm morning in Generic Town, the trees were treeing, the grass was grassing, the birds were pooping on cars,..
"RED, HAVE YOU SEEN THE COMPUTER?!”
And Blue was yelling at 8 in the morning. The neighbors were not going to like that.
“Noooo”, Red’s weak voice called out from.. somewhere, it was clear that he had been crying
”Bro- where are you?” Blue asked, quickly looking around the house for a sign of his friend, he couldn’t have gone far as their voice sounded close, “Come out”
“I’m gay” Red said, his crying now apparent
“Red, please”
“Give me five more minutes with them, Blue!,” Red begged,”I had this laptop since we were freshmen in high school. HIGH SCHOOL, Blue. I have so many memories on this, let me have just a few more minutes with them”
Blue was about to object and say that it was just a computer (and a broken one at that), but they stopped themselves,”We can just…leave it in the closet or something, we don’t HAVE to smash it”
“No,” Red sniffled, Blue still not too sure on where he was hiding,”I wanna put them out of their misery, it’s time to let go of the past”
Red opened the door at the end of the hall, the closet, and quickly stepped out, shutting the door. They held the laptop close to their chest, his eyes puffy with tears. All of a sudden, the floor seemed to be nicer to look at for Blue.
"Do you need another moment?," Blue asked, but it seemed to be more directed at himself than at Red
"No, I can do it"
"WASSUP GUYS?! IT'S YOUR BOI AND TODAY WE'RE GONNA SMASH THIS THING!," Red yelled, full energy into the camera, his sledgehammer dangling by his side as he pointed to the laptop
"Yeah, let's do it," Blue said, way less energetic than Red, but still ready to do whatever chaotic thing Red wanted to do
There was a pause
A noticeably long one
Red was hesitating, he still wasn't ready
Blue took over, walking to the laptop that was sitting on a cardboard box and squatted down to its level, "Would you like a sledgehammer as a delicious tasty treat?"
Obviously, the laptop didn't say anything back because it was broken, and Red couldn't fix it.
Blue looked back at Red, expecting Red to finally accept that-
Blue just barely ducked out of the way as Red slammed his sledgehammer into the laptop screen, breaking it into gray blobs that went everywhere.
"THAT WAS LITERALLY SO COOL YOU GUYS!," Red yelled, his hyper demeanor returning, but now slightly more erratic
Blue decided to throw it by the wayside for now due to the situation and got off the ground,"Let's dance"
"Okay"
The two started to "dance" (read: jump) around. The sledgehammer laid amongst the scattered parts of the laptop that Blue knew that he would have to clean up later.
BAM
The sudden loud sound made Blue jolt
"FUCK!," Red screamed, clearly more startled than they were as he fell backwards, almost hitting Blue
"You good?"
Red look at his finger,"Yeah, it nicked me though-," They paused as they looked up at the figure in front of them
Blue followed Red's gaze and his eyes widened, confusion, amazement, and slight fear filled his voice.
"Folder?"
