Chapter Text
Swoosh, followed by a soft crumble of a wrinkled and delicate leaf under the weight of someone’s foot. Ahh. There she was. A lonely little number. One. Three is a trio. And two is a crime. So she sat. Under a tree that seemed to hover meters above her like a Devine being on its own accord. The shade it provided felt almost refreshingly hidden. Closing her out from the world she didn’t feel so apart of anymore. It was a shame really. One has tried to get along with everyone. But to no avail. Whatever. So what? You get used to it after a while. It was kinda day to day life. But. With peace comes disruption. And she was. Oh Three. Ironically. Honestly, One thought she’d hate her. All bubbly and— nice to people. Wanting to help all the time. It almost disgusted her. Maybe not so..
“PFFTT.. did you SEE how the paint totally fell !! It was amazing !”
Three seemed to be laughing so hard , her eyes began to water.
One glances over at her, chuckling warmly as well.
That little tree doesn’t feel so empty anymore. Threes words began to blur together and One begins to zone out, a thought stemming. Threes got everything… EVERYTHING she doesn’t.. she can’t tell if it’s a jealousy. Or maybe something she should feel envy about. Or maybe. She likes the attention. Maybe it is.. the way Threes talking one on one to her. Like she’s actually special. It’s.. funny. Transforming from just a background noise to a main focus. Someone’s main focus. Someone to care about, someone to. Love?
She shakes her head frantically, suppressing anything that wanted to grow.
“One? Are you okay?”
One nods her head.
“Mhm. Just thinking is all.”
Three hums. Taking that answer as something reasonable.
Yet. The seed as already planted itself.
And it’s desperate to grow.
