Two lays quietly in their bed, silently blaming themself for Gaty’s disappearance. They sigh and sit up, the covers falling to their lap. They looked out the window, it was foggy and cloudy outside. You couldn't see the moon in the night sky. Their fur is all matted and gross, from not taking a shower in 7 months, nor grooming it. Two attempts to stand up, quickly almost falling to the ground. Luckily their bed catches them, taking a second attempt to stand up more carefully. They are shaky but still standing, and that's good enough for them. They use their tail to keep them balanced. Two slowly and carefully walks out of their bedroom, leaving their room for the first time in 7 months and a week, give or take. The hotel was silent, likely because it was around 2 am. Two stands there hesitantly, until they finally open the door. They walk to the bathroom, locking the door behind them.
Two looks around in the cupboard and takes a broken piece of glass out. They flinch at the site of it.
After, they carefully wash off their arms, flinching at the burning feeling, and bandage their arms. Two unlocks the door and turns off the light as they leave the bathroom. They probably should've washed themself off when they got in the bathroom, but they were too tired to do that. Two walks back to their bedroom. Laying back in bed, rotting in their misery.
God how pathetic.
Two lays there, their tail swaying softly. They felt numb. Two sighs, sitting up again. Two sits there quietly, staring out their window. i hate myself..i dont feel good... Two started crying quietly, they put their hands to their face. Suddenly Two hears a knock on their bedroom door. Two quickly wipes the tears out of their eyes, though the tears still kept coming. After a couple of seconds they respond.
“.....C-come …in..” Two whimpered.
Someone teleported into the room, it was Four, too lazy to open the door.
“...Huh..? F-Four….? W-what is it….?” Two asked, stuttering because they haven't talked in more than half a year.
“Oh..! Two, you look worse than the last time I saw you–wait, are you…crying?” Four was a bit taken back, they had never seen Two cry in a serious manner. They had only seen Two cry in a comedic manner, for the show or just for fun.
“...U-uh no..? ha… um..” Two whispered, their tail wrapping around their legs. Two’s heart pounding in their chest, they didn’t want anyone to find out that they self-harm. They hate having to talk about anything serious, they always go silent in serious situations. Too scared to talk and literally not being able to, having no words leave their mouth. They were terrible at asking for help, and bad at expressing their emotions. Their tail was puffed out, showing that they were stressed. They gripped their tail harshly, the pain grounding them. They ripped some of their light green fur out.
“Okay, sure.” Four softly giggled, walking over to Two. “Seriously, what’s wrong?” Four asked, crossing his arms, he watched Two’s body language, knowing how to read that well when he wanted to. They winced at the sight of Two ripping out some of their fur. Four studied Two’s expression.
The pair stared at each other for a few minutes before Two suddenly hugged Four, pulling Four closer.
“….I-I’m sorry I’m sorry..I’m sorry..sorry….” Two rambled, mumbling multiple sorry’s under their breath.
“Ek! Woah..i-it’s okay-it’s-uh..” Four stumbled over their words, he gave Two a pat on the ‘head’, resting their hand on them. Two leaned into the touch instantly.
“..T-thanks…F-four” Two mumbled into Four’s chest.
“...U-uh yeah no problem.” Four answered, not knowing how to comfort people. Four slowly unmated Two’s fur with his fingers, doing it as carefully as they could. Four noticed the bandages on Two’s arms, they did not bring it up. It was not the right time, Four would bring it up another day. They both stayed like that until 3 am. Soft snores came from Two, they had fallen asleep on Four. Four gently set them back on their pillows, he tucked them into bed. Four whispered a goodnight and teleported to his own room.
