Chapter Text
Captain tossed and turned in his bed, he has been feeling uneasy these past couple of weeks, ever since moving in with Dum, things haven't been the same.
Captain has tried to push it off and he's tried to remind himself Dum is another person too, but Player is never far from his thoughts, and tonight was just one of those nights.
“Will…?” Dum's faint sleepy voice caught Captain's attention.
“Its okay Jessie, I'm fine, just... go back to sleep…” he tried to sneak out of bed, he decided to wash his face with cold water, maybe that would help…
Footsteps echoed through the house as he walked to the bathroom. Once he arrived at the bathroom, he flicked on the light, Captain winced at the sharp light as he read a clock that pointed to 2AM. He sighed, turning the water on and running his hands underneath it.
He splashed his face once, then twice, he dabbed his face with a cloth, blinking his way back to stability.
Dum crept over his shoulder, pitifully placing a hand on his back, and for a moment he saw Player, his heart sunk as he realized he was just tired and that Player wasn't the person caring for him right now.
“Go back to bed, love…” his mouth felt rotten and dirty as he spoke that word to her. She gave a concerned look and walked away…
Captain held his head in his hands, he knew this was wrong, he knew he could never be forgiven by Player, or anyone for that matter if he broke Dum’s heart…
He looked up again, tears welling in his eyes. He felt so gross for think about Player whenever he kissed her or loved her. It was wrong to think that way, he shouldn't be acting like this.
He walked to the kitchen, opening the fridge door, he scanned the fridge for something small to fill his stomach, there was a half eaten box of grapes and other fruits. He grabbed the grapes and sat on the couch. He opened the box and popped one into his mouth, he started to cry as he ate them, memories of years ago came back as the flavor exploded into his mouth, blessing his tastebuds with bittersweet memories.
He used to eat grapes when playing Among Us. It was his favorite snack, but it's been years since he's even touched the game. And it's been months since he and Player had last spoken…
Captain's mind lingered on Player's name, he hit his forehead in response to his brain, cursing himself as he continued eating.
Soon the entire box was empty, he felt every emotion as he went to grab another grape and felt nothing there…
He walked the box over to the garbage and hesitated before throwing them out. It felt like he threw away a part of his heart as the box dropped to the bottom.
He climbed back into bed, resting his hands atop of one another. As he stared into the ceiling. Dum was peacefully sleeping, Captain looked over and saw her chest slowly rising up and falling back as she took each breath, he could have sworn he'd saw Player as he looked back at her.
His shoulders tensed as he saw him, he promised himself he'd stop this insanity.
He quickly turned away from Dum, hoping to just fall asleep and forget about tonight, though unfortunately sleep came late as his brain kept thinking about him. He silently sobbed, careful not to wake Dum. God, was he ever tired of this...
