Chapter Text
The nights in The S*n were always quiet, like – awfully quiet, any peep would be heard by ten people in the area, and any loud noise could turn someone deaf, it was meant to be like that, death was always meant to be quiet, such thin walls couldn’t handle what you were doing.
Pipe Bomb was in his bathroom, shaking uncontrollably, sobbing without a sign of stopping, to the point of drooling, he was holding a razor blade, its ends were red.
‘’Haah….Hah…. hrgg ... .ugh…’’
Pipe Bomb breathed heavily, tears dropping down to his bloody wrist, his legs were trembling, he then proceeded to drop to the bathroom floor, bruising his knees.
The voice in the back of his head was yelling at him to cut more, telling him how disgusting he is, how he deserved to hate himself.
He really tried to cut his arm more, but he was too weak to do it, he felt pathetic. He proceeded to drop the razor blade to the ground, it went past his thigh, making a tiny scar.
‘’I…i fuckin…g.. hate myself…
Why… Why do I get these disgusting thoughts..?!’’
Pipe Bomb cried out, It was currently 3 in the morning, and all he could think about was this certain guy that he had met some hours ago.
His name was Charger Block, something in him.. just had caught Pipe bomb’s attention, he seemed so easy to talk to, so forgiving, Pipe Bomb didn't deserve to meet someone like him, and like usual – he will never win, due to the fact that Charger Block’s 16, while Pipe Bomb is 20. Disgusting, I know, he knows, that's why he's currently doing this to himself, he deserved it.
‘’I… I wish I could..kill myself again–! Urk–!’’
Pipe Bomb sobbed, as he held in his own vomit.
‘’Urghh…. I just can't… I don’t want to….’’
This continued for 20 more minutes, until he passed out from all the crying, still on the bathroom floor.

Pipe Bomb had woken up, the sun was up, and he was in the same spot as last night, but he could hardly remember anything about it, but he quickly got his memory back when he felt his wrists aching, he stared at them for a minute, and sighed, he was disappointed in himself, but not enough for him to promise he’ll never do it again.
He tried to stand up, but a piercing ringing made it hard to, he had an insanely painful headache, he just did what he could.
He decided to wear some arm-warmers to cover up the cuts, then took some medicine for his headache. As soon as he sat down on his living room couch, his doorbell rang, for him it was extremely loud, making his headache even worse.
He sighed, and slowly stood up to answer the door, taking a deep breath before opening it.
‘’Can I help y— ..Charger Block?!’’
‘’What’s up P.B!’’
It was Charger Block, he seemed to be quite excited.
‘’I'm here to hang out! Remember?’’
Right, the night Pipe Bomb and Charger Block met, they had this awkward last interaction that implied hanging out as soon as possible.
‘’Yeah but… don't you think it's a little too early…?
‘’Its like, 2pm.’’
‘’W– What??’’
Apparently, Pipe Bomb had been asleep all morning.
‘’...Right.. yeah.. I knew that..’’
‘’Are you sure..? You seem tired.’’
‘’Yeah– Yeah, No, Im fi–’’
His stomach began to growl.
They both kind of stood in silence for a bit, Pipe Bomb seemed incredibly embarrassed.
‘’Have you even eaten anything yet?’’
Charger Block questioned, this started to feel pressuring to Pipe Bomb, he didn't know how to respond to him, he just looked to the side, his face screamed of guilt.
After a minute of silence, Charger Block confidently spoke.
‘’Don’t worry my friend! Back on Earth I was.. heh. quite the chef!’’
He chuckled, as he stared up and down at Pipe Bomb, implying that he would step out of the way to let him inside, which he did, incredibly nervous.
Charger Block instantly rushed to the kitchen, did some hand stretches, and began to look around, grabbing whatever he could, while Pipe Bomb stared at him from a corner, scratching his wrist through the arm-warmer
‘’Crown isn't with you today, huh?’’
‘’Nah, they decided to take a little power nap.’’
‘’I see..’’
Pipe Bomb felt tense, holding himself for comfort, a part of him kept saying that ‘it was fate’ that they got to be together, in his house, but he kept having to snap himself back to reality.
He watched Charger Block stack random things together, he seemed confused.
‘’Um… Hey P.B, Can you get me a towel?’’
‘’There's one right ther—’’
‘’---Yeah but like.. bring me a blue one, it helps me cook better.’’
This statement seemed puzzling to Pipe Bomb, but he just gave in and went to look for one in his drawers.
After 2 minutes, he came back holding a black towel.
‘’Uhh… I don't.. think I have a blue one, but I hope this will wo—’’
‘’Menu! Give me some fresh bacon.’’
‘’..Charger Block?’’
Pipe Bomb had caught Charger Block using his menu, instead of cooking the meal himself. It quickly became awkward.
They stared at each other for a bit until Pipe Bomb began to giggle, Charger Blocks face turned red.
‘’If you didn't know how to cook.. you could've told me.’’
He said in between giggles.
‘’I do know how to cook! Kinda…. Only when Crown helps me..’’
He mumbled, extremely embarrassed.
‘’Hehe.. It’s okay, it was cute.’’
He commented, before immediately stopping in his tracks, realizing he had just called Charger Block cute, now he was the embarrassed one.
They stood in awkward silence, realizing this was now extremely common, both of their faces were red.
‘’...’’
‘’I—’’
‘’I should go– set the table, and stuff.’’
‘’Y-Yeah, that seems like a good idea.’’
Charger Block quickly walked out with the plates, while Pipe Bomb watched him leave.
‘’....Ugh… Fuck me….’’
He quietly mumbled to himself, as he pressed his fingers against his forehead. He let out a sigh as he walked over to the fridge and grabbed some of yesterday’s iced tea, and poured it inside of two cups.
He looked at himself through the reflection of the drink, feeling frustrated, he deeply breathed in before grabbing the cups and walking out to the living room, where Charger Block was.
As he walked in, the room instantly filled with an uncomfortable feeling, they stared at each other for a second before looking away, Pipe Bomb slowly walked up to the couch and set them on the table, then proceeded to sit down, next to Charger Block.
They both just kind of sat in silence for a bit, until Pipe Bomb got the courage to speak.
‘’You.. seemed to like the drinks i gave you yesterday, so I thought you'd want to have them again.’’
‘’Yeah.. thanks.’’
They both went ahead and grabbed their cups, Charger Block began to drink it, while Pipe Bomb just tapped his own cup with his fingers..
