❚█══INTRODUCTION ══█❚
It's been months since this whole situation happened. I still remember the first time everything rotted, the screams. The disturbance of noises once the sun went down. I was so horrified, we all were. I didn't protect them enough, so many died that day. Why didn't I do anything.. I swear I would protect everyone. I promised! Why did this happen?! It's all ruined and it's all my fault. If i just moved and saved them. Now they're gone. Poppy, Boxten, Connie and Gigi and others. There dead.. even Bassie! we left and walked for shelter and eventually we found a place that was abandoned and unused for a while. It probably had mold yet it was safe. The crawlers wouldn't find us for a while.
Suddenly I smelled a heavy scent of lavender. Tears started to fill my eyes at the thought of cosmo seeing me like this.
▂▃▅▇█▓▒░ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* "Sprout..?" *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧▂▃▅▇█▓▒░
"ₛₚᵣₒᵤₜ..?"
"Get out!" I screamed at him, I didn't want to. But I can't seem to care anymore. After all the moving corpses killing people I knew it made me numb to others.
"Dinners ready..." Cosmo said with a sad tone "y-you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine.." I softened my voice a little, I hated how he cared about me. "And I'm not hungry, so go eat with the others!"
"Sprout I want to eat with you! You barely come out of your room anymore. I'm worried about you!"
***It didn't matter. I deserve to suffer like this. What's the point? I'm a selfish asshole. Just a disgusting freak who's attached and is a sensitive little bitch.***
"HEY!" Suddenly cosmo grabbed my face "you are coming out if you like it or not!"
"Dude stop!" I slapped his hand away "tsk...fine il come jeez." I crossed my arms without making eye contact.
"Really?! You're gonna come, actually?!" I saw cosmos eyes shined at me from saying that, it's been a while since I saw that sparkle.
"Yeah.. I gue-"
"Thank you!" His arms wrapped around me warmly, and I stood still before I hesitantly hugged back. It felt like a flame hugging me, it hurt but it was peaceful. My heart was empty, so much that it felt like pain. I couldn't explain, that's why I never say anything anymore. It's not an easy thing to talk about my feelings. Because I don't even know mine. It sucked, really.
"Cosmo..?" I whispered
"Yes?" Cosmo eagerly looks up at me
"Are we..." I trailed my sentence wondering if I even should say it "are we still friends?"
"Hah.. what? Of course!" Cosmo laughed at the question thinking it was stupid. "In fact we are best friends!"
"Well I'm glad..." I smiled faintly, I felt bad for yelling. He didn't deserve that. I just want to isolate myself from everyone.
"Come, let's go. The food may be getting cold." Cosmo showed his hand, I grabbed it softly making sure it wasn't too tight on him. I have a habit of gripping things aggressively once I'm stressed.
After we went to the table with the others I noticed something.. the food...
The food smelled good. I think It may have been burned. Cosmo didn't cook this time, I guess someone else did the work. But luckily I liked burned things. The flavor felt extra and it was delicious for me. Maybe it was weird, the point is I'm glad it was burned. I'm grateful but not extremely pleased.
"Oh, squirm..!" I heard Brightny call out
"I'm so sorry!!!" Squirm was once again eating a book for dinner.
"Ah, it was my favorite too.. it's okay.. I'll get a new one." she smiles politely. I would have freaked out if someone ate my book. Not necessarily because I like books, just because it's strange for someone to eat a book.
"WAHHHHHH!!!!!" He cried out loud, he was whiny I didn't hate him. He just made me want to lock myself in a room again. He was sweet just.. I don't like loud noises much. And he was very loud all the time..
"Well.. the food is burned." Cosmo noticed and pointed at the steak
"Yeah.. that's my bad..." Ginger awkwardly said "sorry sweetie..."
"It's okay Ginger! We all make mistakes. Also it's not bad, it's just a little burnt." He said to his older cousin, I knew cosmo looked up to her. And I knew they were close, sometimes I believe that they are siblings and not cousins.
"Sit down Seedly." Vee said in a monotone voice which made me roll my eyes "Sit." She repeated again like I was a damn dog. Why is she even here?
As I took a bite of the steak, my body felt less tense. Only I enjoyed it, no one likes *burned* steak.
"Who made this disrespectful mess?!" A British voice said loudly which made me look behind my shoulder. Oh it's Tisha, complaining about one slight hint of dust. I heard a whine in the background, sounded like pebble. Coal doesn't whine much and when she does it's more deeper instead of high pitched.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Not you pebble, you are a good boy, here have a treat!" Tisha is very germphobic, it makes her super stressed. Not a very good thing in an apocalypse, we have way more things to worry about. For example getting eaten alive and ripped open by our own friends that are now rotting corpses.
"Tisha, don't worry I'll help you!" Cosmo said happily
"Seriously? Thank you.." she said smiling at the baker
"How sweet of you!"
"Haha... Me? Oh yeah totally!" Cosmo seemed flustered at the compliment playing with his hair, he didn't know how to take them. "Okay I'll get the broom!"
"What a beautiful "friendship" don't you think Seedly?" Vee said angrily, adding a forceful tone to friendship.
"Huh?"
"Well they seem so close! You know, not like I care.." I heard her grumble
"Vee, he's gay." I said bluntly without thinking
"Anyways- wait what? Oh.." she stared at her plate I noticed her expression switched from jealous to calm. "Me and Tisha are not with each other anymore anyway."
"Let her go."
I knew Vee isn't over her, I know she thinks about her every night. Wishing she did something else, but I know they are not fit for each other.
"I already did!" She said refusing to accept the truth, there's no point. How can I help someone when I can't help myself?
"Okay." I allowed her to do what she wanted. I can't control her. She can find someone else, just not Tisha. I got up from my chair slowly planning to move back to my room.
"Sprout?" Cosmo noticed from the kitchen which made me jump "where are you going?"
"The... Bathroom?" I lied blantly, I didn't want him to worry again. But I just wanted to leave and be with my thoughts.
"Ah! Okay, Bye.." he said believing me, I hated lying to him.
I made it to my room and quickly shut the door, I have a lock. But I never really use it for its purpose, because once I use it then I'll never open it again. Then I went on my bed once again. The bed has already formed my body from how much I laid down there which felt like forever until I finally went to sleep.
