Chapter Text

The moon was cold.

It’s been almost a year. A year since he had been sealed away by HER. A year since he had seen his beloved X. All he could do sit and wait for them to arrive but that didn’t seemed like it was happening for the moment.

He didn’t want to admit it but he was tired, every now and again he’d get a sudden burst of energy and punch the walls or maybe scratch another drawing of X with some moon rock but it was hopeless, all it did was bruise and scratch his already scared knuckles. A part of him wondered if it was even worth it, I mean clearly it wasn’t doing anything, he was stuck here, stuck in this place that forced him to think. To think about everything that led up to this, but he mostly thought about X. Where was X? They were coming right? Was X even okay?? Or had One got to them first?

That last thought worried him the most. The thought the One was even thinking about hurting X. HIS X.

All the worry and stress has been taking a toll on his body and his mind. His was already pretty skinny and scrawny before the moon but now he was practically skin and bones. He’d scratch his arms until they were raw and hurt to touch. He’d tug at his hair until clumps of it would just, come out it the slightest tug. He even gained a limp from a broken ankle healed wrong, that one hurt the most.

There was nothing to do right now. X wasn’t here yet and Four was extremely tired, so a nap wouldn’t hurt right? Four tossed and turned for what felt like days but finally felt his eyes flutter shut.

X would be here soon. X would be his savior.
