Work Text:
I had been feeling particularly down, if you could call it that. Heavily unstable. This was not long after Prototype (accidentally, I hope.) almost killed me and told me to go reset myself..
My paws thumped quietly against the soft carpet. Usually I was silent, but not today. Not now. I ran downstairs and into the kitchen, but Lime Girl came up to me. She was clearly worried, it was written all over her face. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her put down a book that fast.
“Lunar?! Are you okay?! What happened? You look like hell… oh my god.”
“I..I’m okay. I’m alright.”
I’m either really that pathetic or she saw through my grin. Though I don’t know how I looked, I do know I couldn’t stop smiling all night, so it probably didn’t look pretty.
“Bullshit, Lunar! Come here.. tell me the problem.”
Like hell I was. I can’t trust that.
“I said I’m alright.”
Her eyes are tearing up. Here we go..
“You- you know who else said they were alright?! Spawn! And he- he DIED, Lunar!”
“I know.”
I wasn’t gonna hear this story again. Seriously. She’s like a mom.
“And you don’t CARE? What even happened that led to you looking like.. LIKE THIS!”
“Senpai...”
I felt myself trail off. How was I supposed to just tell her he found out what I did? Then she would know too, and..
“Stop.”
My tail swished.. wait what?
“Stop.. what?”
“Calling him that. He had a life. A life that you stole from him. I can’t stand it.”
“I didn’t mean—“
“Just fucking stop, Lunar. It couldn’t have been this serious! No innocent crush on someone warrants.. THIS! It’s torture, Lunar. Real, actual torture that you are causing.”
I couldn’t speak. The words wouldn’t come. I can’t defend myself. She’s right.
“Seriously? Nothing to say, about any of this? Not even confirmation? Denial?”
“I.. I don’t know. I’m sorry.”
“Wow, they were right about you. You really are a useless, pathetic piece of shit. This… you’re a monster for doing this. Not only this, but then you cry wolf like HE isn’t the one probably locked in your bedroom right now!”
Silence came and went. My body grew restless. My ears and tail kept twitching, because I was so stressed I near wished I could cry.
“Yeah. I am.”
I left quickly after, before she could scoff or look away or say the same thing sen-Prototype did. She did attempt to follow me, but I had gone into the basement and closed the door to the stairwell.
I’ve written the follow up, it’s on my page as a separate work.
