antidepressants

Summary:

they're not as close as they used to be.

Notes:

I wrote this in the depths of the last draught, which happened to coincide with my own episode! It was technically ready for bbno$ day, but I posted too much sad stuff then already. This is the bad timeline, the other fic today will be much happier.

standard RPF disclaimer:
Not intended to depict real people, I'm just playing dolls with a liberal interpretation of online personas. Made for fandom space only, don't be weird about it thx

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"I heard you're back on antidepressants."

"Yeah." He tries not to think about how Matt only knows because of some interview, how he's left his last seven messages on read. Fails miserably, fails like he's failing at everything recently. Lets the silence between them grow.

"That's..." Matt's voice quivers, uneasy. Scared, so unlike himself. "That's a good thing, yeah?"

He wishes he didn't need them. Wishes he could just get his shit together like everyone else. Wishes he didn't have to take pills that make him lose himself. Doesn't say any of it, tired of being a letdown. "Guess so."

Notes:

I don't actually have anything against antidepressants per se and I don't think he does either, your brain just makes everything bad and sad and scary for no reason sometimes lol
