"He's so dumb!" , "Worthless.", " You're not helping me!!"
After more and more various complains reaches out to the lab experiment, Falsity had to be put down. It's been 100 years, he still hasn't learned anything, and doesn't even know if he's a lost cause or not. That is until that very day Xqree appeared in his life.
Xqree gently approached Falsity, tilting his head as he spoke,, "..Hello? Verity?-" Falsity looked up, confused and shocked. "Heyy..my name is Falsity. I am here to assist you!" His voice came out rather spongebob-like. Xqree was as confused, but he didn't pursue much...
Questions after questions, Xqree learned that Falsity spoke the opposite at some times where it isnt that serious. Late at night, Xqree went to sleep. "Goodnight, Falsity." He kept his tone gentle as ever, "W-wait!-" ... "..Yes, Falsity?" Xqree turned his head, looking at Falsity with a small, tired smile. "..Am i a burden to you?" Falsity looked...sad. As if he was expecting another complain? "..what?" Silence held for a few moments before he spoke up more gently..."No, you're not! I find you quite funny, Falsity. Why would i ever see you as a burden?" Falsity looked a little surprised, but was relieved. "N-nothing, friend. Goodnight! I'm glad you loved my help." He walked back to his own room, sleeping, facing his back on Xqree. "...Mmh. Alright, goodnight." Xqree replied, he was getting worried, by now, his tail was curled. But what can he do to prove Falsity was upset about something? He had to wait.
A new day arrived!! Yayy!! Xqree invited Falsity to go mining with him. They talked for hours, spending their times together, Xqree's tail was wagging the entire time. "You know Falsity, you're better than Verity, you're so funny bro!" Xqree said all of a sudden. Falsity blushed slightly and looked away "Thank you, friend..." Xqree blushed lightly as well, smiling softly as he admired Falsity's shy face. They continued to go mining. Xqree was constantly bumped into mobs, dead ends and bad items, and he seemed a little pissed based on his tail language "I'm almost out on food, come on..." He scoffed, Falsity seemed a little worried again, "Sorry i couldn't help you." It was the 2nd time he had apologized..Xqree looked up at Falsity, smiling "It's fine Falsity! I'll be okay," he says knowing dang well he'll probably run into another creeper, besides the HORRIBLE experience in that cave, Xqree and Falsity was pretty much fine.
"Man, it's almost midnight already, Falsity, are you okay?" He's..asking Falsity for his condition? "..Me?-" Falsity himself seemed baffled, "..Yea?"... "I'm alright, what about you?" Falsity replied with a smile. Xqree knew he was lying, but he was honestly debating his own choices. "..I'm okay." Falsity just kept his smile "That's awful(great) to hear, we should head back."
Xqree went to look for his way home, but got a little lost halfway. "Uuhhh.." He didn't got a map on him so he had to try and get home himself. Xqree's hand gently rubbed against Falsity's hand as he tried to ease the awkward tension with his tail continuously flicking. "What a coincidence that we'd get lost," Falsity just looked sad the entire time, replying dryly every time Xqree talks :: "mhm", " yea", "sure", etc etc.
Midnight fell and they were FINALLY home once in for all. As Xqree sat down on his bed, genuinely tired as hell to even smelt the iron he got, Falsity suddenly held both his hands, looking at him with a tear in his eyes "I'm sorry for not helping you in anything...I'm always wrong..I'm not being helpful at all- i-..i'm sorry to disappoint you..i'm sorry i'm not like verity.." He choked,,, Xqree looked up at Falsity, a soft, warm smile, "What are you talking about Falsity? Really, i don't mind your traits at all.." he cupped Falsity's cheeks gently. "Even if you're wrong, you've still grown into my heart, Falsity. You'd never be a disappointment to me..And honestly, i don't care if you're like Verity or not, I trust you completely." He spoke gently. Falsity was a little hesitant, but he smiled. "...Thank you, Xqree.." Tears started falling as he pulled Xqree into a tight hug. "You're such a great friend.." Xqree hugged Falsity back, smiling softly as his tail wagged. "Of course!! I'm always here for you, Falsity. It's okay."
