Chapter Text
“Damn ze how much of a lazy chud are you bro” regect laughs, as ze starts to fall behind while they’re walking “ok ASSHOLE shut the fuck up.” Ze says as he jabs regect in the side.
“OK OW FUCK YOU TO.” He says as they start to bicker back and forth, getting nowhere in the argument. moe honks at the two of them to stop bitching at each other. Or else she would make them go home because this adventure was her idea, for them to go find this waterfall she saw when exploring a couple weeks ago. And to be honest neither wanted to go back due to the fact they’ve already walked for an hour and a half and it would be a waste of time. So reGect looks at ze and they nod in agreement to knock it off until they get home so they don’t ruin moe’s mood.
“Ok—- are you we almost there yet moe??”
ReGect says refusing to admit he’s lowkey getting tired because ze would NEVER let him down easy after sayin someone to him
“Honk honk!!” (I’m about another hour!!)
“WHATTT, you gotta be kidding me crying emoji” ReGect says dramatically
“Dude, if you keep saying emojis out loud, I’m going to shoot you” ze says already pissed off because of how tired he is, and with the heat of what feels like the goddamn Florida sun on the back of his neck. He just wanted to regect to shut the fuck up.
“Honk honk honk…😒😒” (finneee we can have a break…)
Moe says to the relief of both of them, all three sitting on a near by log. Becoming increasingly more awkward, because it went dead silent before ReGect says “ts is boringgggg, ima go explore as you chuds sit there lmao”
“BRU YOU LITERALLY JUST SAT DOWN??” Ze states looking confused af but moe just put a hand on his shoulder and just nods her head telling him to just accept defeat. “Ok whatever… have fun. Hope you get poison ivy asshole.”
“Jesus who pissed in your crispy creams bro😔”
“Its who pissed in your Cheerios-“
“Nu uh”
“Ye Hu..???”
“Nu uh, mine better😛😛”
“Ok go fuck off and choke on grass before you taste a bullet next ”
Ze spits out before regect says more stupid shit, and ReGect runs away tripping on random shit like a dumbass.
———————————————————————
“Dayummmmm there isn’t shit out here” he says, looking around as if something‘s gonna magically appear.
Oooooo is that an open field!! Hehe maybe I could get more some flowers for moe so she can mix more colors for her makeup!! Wait…
She uses flowers, right? Or is that for the dress making…. Reject genuinely ponders as he looks into the distance. But something catches his eye. A specific purple he refuses to admit that he adores.
Oh.
It’s a patch of alliums, as pretty as they were he couldn’t help but feel such a heavy sense of nostalgia.
He loves the flower, but also hates it. It just reminds him so much of him. And how he still waits.
So much waiting.
He’s still waiting
Waiting
And waiting
And waiting.
Waiting for him to come back.
Even though he knows it’s foolish, it’s stupid to think like that. Cause he’s dead. At least that’s what regect believes, because he feels like he wouldn’t just leave suddenly for no reason. He wouldn’t just abandoned him.
Right…?
He wouldn’t just abandoned me, right..?
God maybe I was that shit of a friend.
I’m just some useless garbage of an entity. I can’t even do what I was made to do.
And I can’t even be a good friend either. I can’t even talk to ze without an argument.
I’m failing at everything I do.
He didn’t even process that he walked over to the field. Didn’t even notice he was on his knees.
Crying.
Crying because of fucking flowers. How pathetic is he…?
To be sad over something so stupid, but oh… they’re so pretty even though he wants to cry, just seeing them. He wants to hold them. Cherish every single one. And let them know they are loved.
He wish he could show ze that. Show him he doesn’t care he doesn’t hate him, no matter what he says.
“I wish… I could show him the care I’m willing to show these flowers. But I can’t.. I’m too much of a coward to act different.”
But Maybe that’s why he keeps one in his room. As sad as it sounds, even though it makes him sad. It makes him feel better to take care of it. Sometimes it grounds him when he can’t stop crying. It’s weirdly calming.
And weither regect notice it or not he was back to dissociating. Not even noticing anything in his surroundings. just the flowers and his thoughts.
———————————————————————
Goddddd where did this idiot go?? Ze sighs as he shoves his way through vines, leaves and whatever else keeps getting in his way.
Jesus, moe sent me like 20 minutes ago where the hell is regect??? how far could that chud have possibly wandered??? He complains to himself
Ze doesn’t want to admit it, but he’s kind of worried. It’s been almost an hour since regect left to explore and no sign of him anywhere.
Even after like 20 minutes of looking near where he and mor were relaxing.
But it’s not like he cares or anything. He just doesn’t wanna see moe upset… yea, yeah that’s it.
That’s why he’s anxious.
Brushing away his thoughts because that’s just what he does. He finally sees a couple of broken branches opening to a field.
He looked around real quick just to see if you could spot regect but that’s when he spotted him.
Just sitting there..?
In the flowers? Why??? is this where he’s been for the past, what, almost 2 hours??
Playing with flowers this dumb ah idiot, ze says to himself as he pulls out his phone to text Moe that he found regect finally. Before stating where he is or at least a general area so Moe can find them, because it doesn’t look like regects wants to leave anytime soon and he really doesn’t feel like arguing.
Honestly, he’s pretty upset at this point. He thought he was in trouble or something just to find out he’s been in a field of flowers frolicking like an idiot?? so he starts walking over there prepared to yell at his ass.
But… he stops writing his tracks, a couple feet behind regect when you hear sniffling. Like the type of sniffing you hear when someone’s crying. and how he somehow hasn’t even noticed ze. Even with all his loud as stomping-
Yea. Something was wrong.
Before taking a deep breath in, preparing himself for… He doesn’t even know what. Because he’s never even seen regect even cry before.
Slowly walking up behind him and just sitting down next to him. He tried to say something, but nothing really came out of his throat so it was just awkward…. he didn’t even know what to say. What does he say ..??? And even it’s worse because regect STILL DIDN’T NOTICE HIM. How the fuck has this dude not notice him???
It’s weird, just sitting there. You really start to notice every small detail.
Like the lack of light behind regects eyes, the way the grass flows, and how gently he’s holding the flower like if he breathes wrong, it’s gonna die and shrivel away.
It’s endearing kinda- because he’s never seen regect so careful with something. How can the same crazy idiotic dude who breaks almost everything he touches be so gentle to this flower….?
Without noticing, he started reaching out to a flower near the one ReGect was holding oh so carefully. I’m afraid he’ll break regect or something.
———————————————————————
God, regect doesn’t even know how long he’s been zoning out, until he gets half a heart attack when he notices a hand coming into his point of view.
He whipped his head to wherever the hand was coming from to see… ZE??
When the fuck did he get here??? was he so zoned out he didn’t even notice ze was th-
“Hey..?”
“Are you good man..?”
Ze says in a voice regect, has never even heard before. It’s weirdly calm, but also feels so sympathetic. like he just saw a puppy get kicked.
But shit man we can’t even explain why he’s here. He doesn’t want to admit why he’s sitting there crying… did he see him crying??? is that why he looks so concerned..? his face feels kind of dry?? is it enough though? He thinks as he starts to internally panic.
Not even noticing, he never replied to what ze said
“Hello???”
Oh shit, he forgot to answer. yea.. so slick bro totally thinks you’re ok now.
“Yea… I uh of course I’m fine!!!” he says trying to seem convincing, but really isn’t.
“Yea.. totally” Ze says as he gives him a questionable look. “So uhh wanna explain why you’re sitting in a field..? looking at a flower so intensely..?”
“I was, they are uh, shit I uhhh…”
“they’re pretty! Heh…”
Ze just give him the most obvious I don’t believe you look but thankfully decides to drop it.
“Ok- you want company..? don’t gotta say anything but we could just sit here in silence if you want
….OrwhateverIdon’treallycare” ze blunts out as he rushes the last part. Trying to act nonchalant.
How he rushed the last part couldn’t help but make his giggle. Trying so hard to seem tough, It’s funny.
———————————————————————
Ze could only stay in their dumbfounded as regect laughed at his failure does seem tough…. Or lack of aura regect would usually say.
But to be honest, he wasn’t even mad. He was more relieved that he didn’t seem as sad as before. Maybe it was even comforting, plus he doesn’t see regect laugh like that often.
Not obnoxious or anything just a simple giggle. He didn’t know that would mean so much to him. Which confuses him more than anything.
But why not embarrass himself more and do some stupid shit… he thinks as he stands up. Grabbing a hold of regects wrist and pulling him up.
“Welll don’t just stand there and look depressed!! might as well have fun while looking like an idiot ! “ he says, totally not commenting on the fact he feels stupid doing this-
What also doesn’t help is the fact that almost immediately he tripped over something and fell right into the flowers behind him. He just sat there for a minute, processing his life decisions…
But while doing so regect bust out and laughter. Still obnoxious but genuine. I guess is the best word he could use to describe it. And honestly, he would fall 100 times again if that meant he did that same laugh.
Wow… that’s kind of gay.. heh he ponder before brushing it off 😅😅
“OMG YOU CALL ME AN IDIOT?? YOU’RE JUST FELL ON YOUR ASS LMAOOO”
Regect says while practically dying of laughter. Before ze enacted his revenge though, and quickly got up and shoved him into the flowers too.
“I UH. NO I DIDN’T. YOU SAW NOTHING“ he practically screams out, and can feel how red his face is getting
Regect never stopped laughing though, just kept laughing like it was the funniest thing on earth. And to be honest it was infectious. He couldn’t help but start laughing too at the ridiculous circumstance.
Buttt it seems to regect also onesanted a revenge, grabbing his hand and pulling him back down into the patch with him.
Hell he didn’t even care if he looks stupid at this point. They were just laughing so hard they couldn’t breathe, grabbing any dandelions that were mixed with the flowers and throwing it at each other.
It was fucking hilarious, because by the time they finally calm down he dandelions all in his hair, and reject have them everywhere on his fur because they seem to stick to it.
Then, there was a moment or both of them just went quiet, it wasn’t awkward, or anxiety inducing, just quiet. They stared at each other both, smiling ear to ear practically. And he just took in the moment entirely.
The regect was still breathing heavily from how hard he was laughing, and the gold that covered his nonexistent face so much that it feels like you could actually see one, he was sure that he was also very red. He didn’t even want to think about what he feels about him right now. And what that feeling could be. But all he knows that that he never wants to leave this moment.
But then-
HONK HONKK HONKY HONK HONK!!!! (SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG COULDN’T FIND YOU GUYS)
Honk… honky honk honkkkk? 🤔😏
(Uh… did I interrupt something? 🤔😏)
Ze has no idea how red his face is, but all he knows is that it got redder-
NO. UH OFC NOT MOE. He says of unbelievable voice cracks.
(God regect is right… he does act like a tsundere…)
But rather than judging moe joints them and starts throwing flowers back at them.
In the end, they all frolic in the fields, pushing and giggling with each other until the sun goes down. They never go to the waterfall, but maybe that’s another time.
