Work Text:
Rev was sick and tired of their dads best friend's behavior.
Ink knew ve had problems, yes, but it had been years! The two revealed their identities to each other, so why was Oscar keeping so many secrets?
It could be for privacy, Rev knew that.
They decided to ask Oscar on this.
-
"Hey, Oscar?" Rev approached their friend, who was sitting on the couch.
Oscar looked up, "What's up?"
Suddenly, Rev felt offley awkward.
"Uhm, So," Wire paused, "What's been on your mind? Not to be forceful- Just, you've been acting weird."
Oscars eyes narrow.
"Acting weird how?"
"You've been keeping secrets, I know you have your own business 'n stuff but.."
Oscars face softens, "Oh, Rev.. I'm just not good at talking about my feelings."
"Well then, my goal is to make you good at talking about your feelings!"
Oscar sighs.
-
Rev stumbles into the living room, grinning. "Osc! Osc! Do you wanna make flower crowns with me?"
Oscar nods, getting up. He has a giant smile on his face.
Rev grabs ves hand, dragging him outside. Fang basically runs.
"We're here!"
Oscar blinks, confused. "Wha-"
"Don't ask questions! We're going to make flower crowns!"
The other laughs, sitting in the flower field.
Rev sits behind ve, "I've tricked you! We're going to be doing therapy now."
"Therapy?"
Rev nods, "Yes. We both need therapy, Osc."
"I suppose.." Oscar responds, crossing his legs.
Rev begins to make the first flower crown, "So.. Tell me, what's been on your mind, Osc?"
"It's just," Oscar pauses for a moment, "Do I even deserve to live?"
"Of course you do! You're my best friend, Osc! If anything, you deserve the world." Rev smiles.
Oscar laughs, "Really? Pinky swear?"
"I pinky promise!" Rev responds.
"What's been on your mind?" Oscar asks Rev.
The blonde puts a flower crown on Oscars head messily, "Self-Harm."
"Oh? Do you wanna talk about it?"
"Mm.. Sure, why not?"
There's a momental pause.
"I've been thinking of hurting myself. I wouldn't actually do it, but it's tempting." Rev mumbles, continuing to make another flower crown.
"I know that can be hard to go through, Rev. You're strong though. Maybe even stronger then me.." Ve laughs.
Rev gasps, "Stronger then you?"
Oscar nods.
- Christmas -
Oscar walked up to Rev, "Ohhh Rev! Merry Christmas!"
"A- Oh, Mhm! Merry Christmas, Osc!"
Oscar shoves a sweater into wires hands, "Ugly sweaters!"
Rev laughs, "Ugly sweaters!"
-
Rev tackles Oscar, "Osc! Osc! Ugly sweaters!"
"Huh- Yeah?"
Rev gets up, throwing a sweater at Oscar. Rev already has a sweater on.
"We're gonna match!" The blonde grins.
"Fuck yeah!"
- Idk, summer -
"Osc!" Rev runs up to their best friend, smiling.
Oscar is sweating ves ass off at this point. He looks up, "Yeah?"
"It's hot out, so we're gonna swim!"
"..I don't know how to swim."
Rev blinks, "I'll teach you, then!"
-
Fuck, Rev thinks, I forgot I'm a siren. This is going to be awkward.
Rev gets onto the pool ladder, before jumping into the pool.
Oscar looks immediately confused, "Why do you have.. Red scales 'n stuff?"
"Did I never tell you what hybrid I am..? I'm a Siren, Osc."
"Oh," Oscar laughs, "That makes more sense."
Oscar puts a foot into the water, wincing.
"It's chill, Osc. Come in!" Rev tries to reassure their dad best friend.
"Are you sure? What if I drown?"
"You won't! I'll save you!" Rev swims over to the ladder, holding out a hand for Oscar.
The other hesitatingly takes Revs hand, slowly stepping into the water.
Rev holds Oscars hand, smiling sweetly.
"You're doing great already!"
Oscar nods, gripping Revs hand like a lifeline.
Wire leads Oscar to the middle, tail going back and forth.
Oscar smiles nervously.
Rev asks, "Can I let go?"
The other shakes their head.
Alright, Rev thinks, Baby steps. I will teach ve to swim.
Rev nods.
- A few weeks later -
Rev walks up to Oscar, tapping his shoulder.
Oscar jumps, "AA- Oh my XD, Rev. You scared me!"
"Sorry! But I wanted to give you something!"
Rev hands Oscar a sword plushie.
"Rev- You little shit.." Oscar laughs, grinning.
"Affectionate or?"
"Affectionate."
Rev nods, "Yay! I wanted to give you something!"
"That's adorable, bitch. What the hell."
"I'm a good person, dumbass!"
- A few days later -
Oscar walks up to Rev, "Can I braid your hair?"
"My hair isn't that long, Osc.."
"So?"
-
"You're pulling on my hair!"
"Im trying my best, dork!"
Rev grumbles, wincing when Oscar pulled on inks hair.
"XD- You're hurting me!"
"I'm braiding your hair!"
"I HAVE KNOTS YOU WHORE-"
-Time skip to idk -
Oscar knows something is wrong when they walk into the door, and hear light gasps and sobs.
Ve immediately locks the door, rushing over to the room where the sounds are.
He peaks his head into the room.
"Revs? Are you okay?"
Rev only looks up, sobbing.
"Shit- Okay, can I touch you?"
Ink nods.
Oscar slowly approaches wire, sitting down and hugging them.
"Listen to my breathing, okay? You're doing great."
Rev stutters, "I-I'm scared."
"I know, bubba."
The blonde cries at the name, tightly hugging Oscar.
The ravenette sighs, "Can you say five things you see for me?"
"Y-You, the carpet, walls, uhm.. bed, a-and my hands."
"Thank you, bubs. Can you name four things you feel?"
There's a pause, "Y-Your shirt, these scratchy ass pants, I-I don't know."
"That's okay," Oscar responds, "Can you name three things you hear?"
"You, y-your heartbeat.."
"Thank you, do you taste or smell anything?"
Fang shakes fangs head, "Nuh uh."
TWO DAYS LATER OR SMTH -
"Hug me immediately." Rev says abruptly, "I need attention."
Oscar chuckles, hugging Rev.
Rev smiles.
