A Quiet Lullaby.

Summary:

Discard was already overwhelmed. The Infected things wouldn't leave him be, he nearly missed the elevator, and he lost his headphones.
It was just a silly prank, he was just being playful, but he just - couldn't *stand* it anymore.

or,

Discard gets pushed past his limit after Teipo dumps water over him. He didn't mean anything by it...

Notes:

we write for fun sooooooooooooooooooooo
expect mistakes and such this isn't the best T v T

  • They glow a bit in blackouts cause they've always got glowsticks with 'em       they usually give one or two to Phantasia and/or Teipo

  • Surprisingly adept at doing shit with his sleeves
  • Softest fluff known to man
  • THE snuggle-bug of the group    he loves snuggles
