CORPSE HUSBAND Oneshots

they don't want to play with me anymore

I have been wanting to make pizza from start to finish for a long time. I haven't had time, because of my work, but today, I am free.

"Hey Corpse! Do you want to make pizza with me?", I shout from our kitchen. He is currently in his recording room, but I know he isn't doing anything important, for excample, streaming. He always informs me, if he is.

I hear him come out of his room. I knew he wouldn't shout all the way from his room. He has had some problems with his voice for a while. He comes over to me and hugs me from behind. He puts his head on my shoulder and burries it in the groove of my neck.

"Sorry babe, I have to stream in 5 minutes. I can set the table tought", he mutters to me. He is talking pretty quietly, maybe 'cause he doesn't want to loose his voice entirely. His lips are touching my neck and it makes me have goosebumps all over my body.

I put down the flour packet, that I am currently opening and put my arms on the back of his neck to play with his curls.

"Don't worry, it's fine if you just set the table. Maybe it's more safer, if I make the food alone", I say to him with a grin on my face. In a quick motion, he lifts up his head. He takes my hands from back of his neck and makes me face him.

"What is that suppose to mean? I am not that bad of a cook", he looks into my eyes with a fake hurt face.

"You are!", I laugh at him and pinch his cheek, acting like he is pouting child. Corpse gives me a small laugh. He gives me kiss on my forhead and starts to set the table. When he is done, he heads to his room and closes the door.
I start to put all the reast of the ingredients on the table. When all the stuff is on the counter, I start to make the pizza.

Then I hear Corpses recording rooms door open. I look over to that direction and see a sad looking man walking over to me. I am confused, because it only has been 10 minutes, since he went to his room.

"Did you end the game already?", I ask Corpse with furrowed eyebrows. Corpse doesn't say anything. He just sits on one of the dining tables chairs and burries his head to his hands. I immediately know something is wrong. I wash my hands from all of the dough and go over to him. I crouch next to him and put my hand on his thigh.

"What the matter? Don't feel good?". I grab both of his hands. "Look at me", I gently tell him. He turns to me and lifts his head up. Ones he does that, I notice tears in his eyes, that are about to fall. I squeeze his hands, trying to get him to say, what is on his mind.

"I feel ok. It's just... When I joiden our vc, I noticed that they had already started the game. I tought, that I was just late, but when I counted the people, there were already 10 people. There was no room for me to play...I think... I think they don't want to play with me anymore", Corpse tells me, almost whispering. Tears are starting to fall from his eyes.

I hurts me to see him like this, so I almost start to cry myself. I don't want to cry in front of him, so I fight to keep the tears from falling.
"Mayde they just frogot, that you were going to join?", I try to give him a better reason for them to be playing without him. I know that they are good people. They wouldn't leave Corpse out like this.

They wouldn't.

Corpse lightly shakes his head from side to side. "No... Rae asked me today, if I am going to join and I said yes...". He takes his hands from my hold. He turns to the table, puts his hand on the table and buries his head in them.
"I knew they didn't like me. They were just pretending. I knew it...", Corpse mumbles into his hands and sniffles.

"That isn't the case. The like you. They love you. There must be some kind of other reason they started to play without you. I'll call Rae and ask her", I tell him, while rubbing his back. Ones I started to stand up, Corpses head jolts up and he looks at me with wide eyes. "No, don't! I don't want to bother her anymore, I don't want to make her mad! She will hate you also, if you talk to her about this!".

Corpse has taken my hands on his and he is squeezing them hard, but not too hard to hurt me, trying to stop me from going to my phone.

"She won't hate me. And she doesn't hate you. I know that. Let me call her and ask her whats up, okay. And if you somehow are right, I don't care if she starts to hate me. If she doesn't like you, I don't like her", I put my hand on his cheek and wipe the tears from his face.
Corpse relaxes his face and looks down. He gives me a small, sad nod and let's go of my hand.

I stand up and go to our bedroom, where my phone is. I grab it from my nightstand and call Rae. The phone rings a couple of times, before she answers.

"Heyy! Shh... I am on the phone!", I hear from the other end.
"Hey Rae! Do you have time to talk?"
"Yeah, whats up? Everything ok?", she asks me with now a concerned tone.
"I don't know. This may sound weird, but I was wondering, why Corpse isn't playing with you?"
"Oh, he said he can't today"
"Okayy... Then why is he crying on our kitchen, that you guys left him out? He told me he joined the vc you are in, but the lobby was full already", I tell Rae with a more firm tone.
"WHAT?! Yesterday, I sent him a message and asked, if he could play today and next Saturday and he said, that he can't", Rae tells me, confused.
"Could you check the messages again? Maybe you read wrong?"
"Yeah, give me a second... Oh no..."
"You read his message wrong, didn't you?", I let out a frustrated breath.
"I am so sorry! I tought he said, he couldn't play today, but he said next Saturday. Could you get Corpse on the phone?"
"Yeah, give me a second"
I walk out of my room, to our kitchen. Corpse is still leaning on the table. I can see his shoulders shaking, so I know he is crying still. I mute the call so Rea can't hear us. I know Corpse doesn't want Rae to hear him cry.
"Hey Corpse", I go over to him and put my hand on his shoulder. "There was a misunderstanding. Rae read your message wrong. She tought you couldn't play today". Corpse lifts his head slowly and looks at me with a confused eyes. "She tought you said you couldn't play today, but you meant next Saturday. She read the message wrong. She is on the phone right now and she wants to apologise", I give Corpse a gentle smile. His eyes widen and tears start to fall from his eyes. He quickly hugs me.

"Oh thank god! I tought they hated me. I was already trying to figure out, who I am going to play with in the future", Corpse cries on my shoulder, relieved. I pat his head and give him the phone. "Here. Unmute the call and let Rae apologise".

Corpse lifts his head up and nods. He unmutes the phone and wipes his tears while putting the phone to his ear.

"Hey... It's fine, I forgive you... Yeah... I am glad you still want to play with me.. Mm... Okey, just give me a second, so I can get to my computer... bye". Corpse puts down the phone and closes his eyes. "Thank you. I don't know what I would do without you", he thanks me, while opening his eyes. He comes over to me and hugs me. I giggle at him and pat his back, "You should go play. They are waiting for you". Corpse hums to my neck and says, "I love you". I bury my head into his neck and sigh, "I love you too".

Corpse lets go of me and gives me a cute, wide smile. He stands up and half runs to his room. I also stand up and go to the kitchen counter. I put my hands on my hips and sight, while looking at the owerflowed dough "At least it got to rise enough"
