Get out

Hair bows and Gifts

The medicine had taken its effect by now, Eddy still seemed a bit antsy about it but nothing had happened which helped ease his anxiety. It appeared that he really could trust Brett. That took a lot off his mind, specifically most of his worries. Eddy still didn't want to give his full trust because that was a scary thing to do. No one ever knew if they would be hurt again and if the walls they built to protect themselves would completely crumble. He had to at least protect himself a bit, even if Brett fundamentally wasn't doing anything wrong. Despite that, Eddy was a lot calmer. Plus, not being in pain helped with that a lot.

"How are you feeling?" Brett asked after checking the time on his phone. It had been a good hour since Eddy had taken the pain medication, so it should be working now if he were to believe Ray. He didn't want Eddy to be in pain.

"I feel fine, I don't really feel anything in my wrist area," Eddy spoke softly, him actually eating and finishing slices of pizza was a testament of that. He glanced at Brett when the man spoke, he wanted to give the other his attention since Brett was giving him his.

"Good, good," Brett smiled, finishing the last bite of his pizza. It seemed like a better time to present Eddy with the little surprise he had prepared now that he wasn't in as much pain anymore. "You done eating?"

"Yeah, I think I am," Eddy smiled a bit, he wasn't used to eating as much anymore. That meant he could get away with eating very little but still feel full because of it. He had like three slices though so he was proud of himself for trying to expand his stomach again.

Brett smiled, gathering their plates.
"Good, cause I got a little something for you," he said, going to throw the paper plates away. "Nothing huge, just... something I figured you'd need."

"Oh? You know you don't owe me anything right? You don't even need to treat me like a human if you don't want to. I did try to kill you on multiple occasions. I don't really deserve anything from you," Eddy didn't even deserve this, he knew it. Brett didn't need to do anything for him, he certainly didn't deserve everything that Brett had already done for him. If he got what he should have gotten it would be killed execution style then be found in a ditch later. Probably the only way he could atone for his sins

"Don't be silly, of course I'd treat you like a human. I don't care about any of that," Brett said, shaking his head. He didn't think he could treat Eddy badly even if he wanted to. His feelings for the guy would definitely stop him. "I'll just go grab it from my office, okay? I'll be gone for like a minute, tops."

"Okay, I'll be here just thinking about my life and all that, " Eddy nodded a bit, he was a sad sad man it seemed. They both were though, so it was fine. Brett could only judge him for it if he wasn't living a sad life too. On the bright side at least they could have their meaningless existence together for the time being.

Brett carefully patted his shoulder as he walked past, slipping out of the room quickly as to not leave the guy alone. Leaving him alone was scary, because Brett didn't know what he was capable of doing to himself. He knew Eddy was sensitive, and he knew some of the scars on Eddy's body were caused by himself.

Eddy wouldn't do anything stupid as of yet, he still had to see Alex off. That was really his only goal in life right now. He just had to make it until that point. Then he didn't know what he would do, maybe he'd just disappear from this place. Maybe. For now though, he just laid on Brett's bed and watched what was on Brett's computer. He was growing to enjoy the man's company. Eddy partially wondered if Brett would miss him if he was gone, he concluded yes but also concluded that he was a toxic influence on Brett anyways. It may be for the best to not drag the other down with him.
