Chapter Text
Today was probably the worst day of Purple’s life.
One, their workplace just blew up
Two, they were basically blacklisted from many places for a job
Third, their not-so-partner anymore, Red just turned their back on them.
Currently they were sitting on their couch, eating ice-cream. They watched TV, without really paying any attention to it. Their mind just kept replaying the events from a few hours ago like a bad war memory.
Could this get any worse?
.....
"What.....?" Purple questioned to no one in particular as they stared at their mirror.
In short, the answer was yes....
It had only been a few weeks now, maybe one or two since the....incident.
Purple stared at the mirror with blank surprise, they didn't know what to feel.
They stared at their back in a sideways angle.
It was a small, barely there.
They reached their hand backwards, they felt it. A tiny leaf.
They had sprouted
"Fuck," Purple moved their hand away as if the touch burned them. They repeated out "Fuck"
Purple Currently had some money to last a month or two. But now this....?
They were barely hanging by and now a kid being thrown into mix?
But suddenly Purple’s thoughts were brought towards.....THEM
Red
Their hands clenched into a fist at the thought of the other.
It wasn’t enough for you was it, Red?
To screw me over and than turning your back on me?
You just HAD to dump this on me, didn't you?
You're selfish, Red
An awful person, I wish I didn't meet
And this happened because of YOU
AND BECAUSE I LOVED YOU-
Crack
Purple suddenly was pulled back into the present. They stared down at the floor with confusion.
The mirror laid broken into pieces on the floor.....
When did that happen? Had they done that?
Purple couldn’t even remember grabbing it, let alone smashing it against the floor.
They looked down at the broken shards across the ground. Purple’s fractured reflection stared back at them.
How poetically fitting
Purple backed away slowly, stumbling slightly as they made their way towards the living room. Their tone sounding so absolutely emotionally exhausted.
"I....think I need.....to lie down for a while"
They'll clean it up later
Purple laid down on their crappy couch, curled up with a thin blanket over them.
They stared at the ceiling for few minutes
Could they even sleep on their back anymore now?
They'll have to check that later....
"Is it selfish to want to keep you?" Purple murmured out their question.
But nobody answered back, and their only company was still way too small at the moment.
Despite that they still continued
"I mean- I barely can take care of myself" Purple continued to ramble out "seems kinda cruel to bring another being into the world without being prepared"
"But.....I want to keep you" their voice began to quiet down as emotions welled up. "It so lonely here since....."
Red left
To be in that stupid company probably turning more corrupt by the second.
The silence had been deafening afterwards, too quiet....
"It.....wouldn't be so bad having you here" Purple’s voice slowly turned more tender "I'd do my best to take care of you and love you dearly"
Who needs Red, anyway?
It'll just be us
You and me
Maybe then....things won't be so bad.
Purple really needs to clean up the mess in their room, but that will be for later.
Now they wanted sleep
Purple will figure things out later.
