11:00AM:
Superfish had always preferred to be alone while in the human realm.
He hadn’t always been this withdrawn, though. Back in Obscaria Superfish had always liked people fawning over him and the praise he would get. That never really went away, he just had to seclude himself as to stay safe as a witch in the human realm.
That was until DJ came along. Dj is literally all he has, he’d never admit this but he’d do anything to keep him safe. That includes erasing his memory of him, that’s the best decision he could make, for Dj’s sake. Right?
Despite knowing that Dj is safest not remembering him after all this is over, He can’t shake the feeling that for his own sake, It wasn’t the best decision.
He, like a lot of things he feels towards Dj, would never admit this out loud but he really didn’t wanna give him the potion.
Of course, he had to now. It was way too late for him to go to Dj and ask him to live with a witches core forever because, What? He would miss him?
Pathetic.
That desire to stay with Dj, the burning passionate desire, He feels it all the time. Even when Dj isn’t there.
It’s way too late to talk to Dj about that. And, Superfish is the strongest witch to ever live. He can’t be feeling this over a human..No way, right?
Superfish glanced over at his phone, He could call him, just to talk.
Superfish’s body started moving on his own, while his mind was still racing. He was about to reach for the phone before he hesitated,
“What would he even say if I told him how I felt? What do I even want him to say?” Superfish thought to himself.
Despite this, despite the aching fear that Dj will never would never talk to him after this, He reached for the phone and-
RRRINGG
Superfish jumped at the noise before sighing, who could this be? he sighs again as he hesitantly picks up the phone.
“Helloooooo?” Superfish said, his voice sounding a lot more happy than he actually was.
He heard a shaky breath through the phone and knew who it was immediately.
“Superfish…”
“Dj! You okay..?” Superfish said, secretly more concerned than he let on.
Superfish heard sniffling over the phone, then heard Dj speak:
“Superfish, How do you feel about me?”
This is not what he was expecting to hear from him, He sounded more pathetic and small than he had ever heard him.
“What..? You miss me already, Human? It’s only been a few hours since you last saw me.” Superfish giggled.
. . .
The silence from the other end was deafening and made Superfish re-think about what he just said. He was about to speak again when he heard Dj speak.
“Superfish, I’m being serious..”
A huge wave of guilt crashed over Superfish. the feeling was still unfamiliar to him, in an attempt to fix the situation he says,
“What do I think about Dj the human…” Superfish says, tapping his fingers on the phone to keep himself calm.
“Well, I think he’s a-bit of a bitch sometimes, to be honest. But so am I.”
Superfish laughs, a desperate attempt to up DJs mood, a silence following.
Superfish panicked internally, Scolding himself in his head as he made an another attempt to fix the situation.
“Well…I also think he’s really kind, he always pays for my food. And saves me from monsters. Even if he risks his own life in the process.”
Superfish sighed and thought about what he had just said, It was just what he had noticed about Dj over the months they’d known each-other, but it still felt like the most open he’d ever been with anyone.
Despite his racing mind, Superfish spoke again.
“He always looks at me with this dumb smile, even when he thinks I can’t see him.”
Superfish’s eyes widened as he realized he said way too much, He was about to play it off as a joke until he heard a heavy, genuine laugh on the other end.
“You always know what to say.. Thank you, Superfish.”
Superfish panicked internally, His face glowing a light pink, He wasn’t used to genuine compliments.
“So do you, Dhananjay.”
Dj giggled, “You’re STILL saying my name wrong, dumbass.”
“I’m still getting used to human names, Y’know?” Superfish laughed, Happy he was able to make Dj feel better.
Dj chuckled, “And I’M still getting used to witch names, Superfish.”
Superfish and Dj stayed on the phone for hours. Sometimes having long, personal discussions, and sometimes just sitting in silence and just enjoying each-other's presence.
4:00 AM:
“It’s pretty late, Don’t humans need at-least a FEW hours of sleep to function?” Superfish asked, half because he was genuinely concerned for Dj’s sleep schedule and half becuase he was very tired himself.
“I’ll be fine.” Dj smiled.
Superfish smiled as-well before speaking,
“So should I stay on the phone a-bit longer then? think you’ll survive without me? he.” Superfish giggled.
“Stay forever.”
