Chapter Text
Shadow Milks POV
"I love you" I said "well at least I think I do, no... yes I do!" fumbling over my words as I contradict myself. "I don't know if it's romantic or platonic but-" I look down fiddling with the cuff of my selves."I need you. Your like another half of me"
Pure Vanilla looks at him with his eyebrows frowning in empathy and confusion. Shadow milk wasn't one to talk about his feelings. let alone truthfully. but pure vanilla could tell it wasn't a lie. it was full force truth. he wasn't sure if that made this interaction any better or worse. All pure vanilla could see was an aching soul desperately crying for help. to be loved and to heal the cracks that were in it. The embarrassment on shadow milks face was clear as day. as if he never even ment to say those things out loud to him in the first place. Like if something else forced him to do it. His very soul. screeching to become a part of pure vanillas."i-...." pressing my lips together as I think carefully about what to say next. "I love you too"
I say after making a big radiant smile. Shadow milk cookie on the other hand had his jaw wide open in confusion and shock. As if finally coming back to his senses shadow milk quickly turns his head away from him.
"shut it. I was only joking anyway" he says, back in his theatric tone. "and that means nothing. you love anything that turns your way. you trust too much. it's almost desperate."
shadow milks arms were crossed while he continued facing the other way with his lips pouting. Pure vanilla tries not to over think that last insult until he wondered. is shadow milk cookie... jealous?He does come off as a very egotistical guy. Wanting to be the main character of any sort of interaction. but what if that was his way of coping with his aching loneliness. what if he's scared of being left for... another?
pure vanilla frowns and takes a step closer to him. shadow milk only tightens up his angrily stance as Pure vanilla comes near.
Pure Vanillas POV:
I grab his hand as it tightens up. I rub the back of it and bring it's cold touch to my cheek. "Shadow Milk Cookie I never ment to make it seem like I don't think anything good of you" he brings out a Huff at my words. Still with his head turned the other way but his eye's moving for a second to look at me. "you truly are admirable in my eyes. I don't hate you i-"
"you pity me." The room stood silent. "you pity me like a injured stray dog that needs help. you don't love me. you love the thought of me
......of what I can be"
pure vanillas head sinks down in sadness for a moment. until quickly but gently falling onto shadow milk cookie for a hug
"I wouldn't care for you if I didn't love the you now". holding onto shadow milk cookie, who only accepts the act of the hug yet doesn't reciprocate. his eye's sinking onto the floor with the emotion of doubt, tho he stays in Vanilla's warm embrace in slight hope. That maybe, just maybe, he will truly stay with him.
