Chapter Text
02:23 AM. Thursday, December 29th.
The boy stares at his wall, his phone screen lighting up his face as it sits in his hand, buzzing with messages he couldnt bother to check.
He takes a breath, snapping back to reality as he tosses his phone to the side and creeps out of bed into the bathroom.
As his gaze reaches the mirror, the shell of himself stares back. Instead of looking any longer, he brushes through his loose, orange curls, Greasy from almost a week of self neglect.
He sighs, undressing and stepping into the shower. He turns the tap, the freezing cold water shocking him awake, before it slowly warms.
Squeezing shampoo onto his fingertips and gently massaging it into his scalp, the tension in his shoulders slowly lessening as he relaxes.
The boy washes the foam out, and lets the water cascade down his face and across his stomach.
It gets hotter and hotter, until his pale skin turns rosy red and the room is full of steam. He turns the tap off, before wrapping a towel around his thin frame and brushing his teeth.
His phone hasn't vibrated since, so he eventually rinses his mouth and goes back to his bedroom.
03:32 AM.
His shower took longer than expected.. He checks his messages.
Kags: Sho, this isnt funny anymore. We are all worried sick, we havent seen or heard from you in a week and a half. I'm going to come over tomorrow morning.
