The Gentleman x Mr Cheese one offs

I'll See You Soon

Trigger Warning: suicide, near-death experience

A/N: Another Mr Cheese-centered angst fic?  Say it ain't so!  But for real, I want to write it so I will.  Uhh... but other than that, I AM accepting requests!  Sorry for doing this before any of the requests I've already got.  All genres welcome except NSFW.  Gentlecheese is of course welcome but so are non-Gentlecheese fics, I'll just write them on my other oneshot book.  Minimal amount of detail in the request is accepted as well as a lot of detail.

TheGentleman kissed Mr Cheese's forehead, feeling a stray piece of hair.  He tucked it behind Mr Cheese's ear.  Mr Cheese smiled up at him, a somewhat forced smile that was betrayed by his tears.

TheGentleman was so, so happy Mr Cheese was alive.

He was the one who found him, pulse slowing, pale, cold, but not yet lifeless. TheGentleman had screamed and called for Captain, getting Mr Cheese to medbay.

After the initial bout of shock, Mr Cheese got mad at TheGentleman for saving him. Then, got even madder at Captain when he was told that he had to leave the crew.

Attempting suicide or having suicidal ideation didn't exactly make the ideal crewmate for MIRA. The crewmate process wasn't rigorous, but they still had some standards, and didn't want a death on their hands. So, Mr Cheese had to leave the crew and go home- which, thankfully, since they were on MIRA HQ, wouldn't take long. 

But it would still be a long time till they saw each other again, since TheGentleman was staying on the HQ. They were saying goodbye now, as the shuttle that would bring Mr Cheese to the ground comes.

TheGentleman forced a smile. "You'll get the best care, and we'll see each other again in no time."

Mr Cheese was quiet. "Maybe..."

TheGentleman hugged his beanie boy. "It's true."

Mr Cheese nuzzled and made a quiet soft sound.

TheGentleman heard the soft rumblings of the shuttle, but he still held onto Mr Cheese. It would be almost a year before they saw each other again. TheGentleman squeezed Mr Cheese tighter as the rumblings got louder until eventually he let him go.

"Bye, Gentleman..." Mr Cheese sniffled. "I l-love you..."

"I love you too," TheGentleman said. "We'll see each other again soon..."

Mr Cheese turned around slightly to get on. "I'll-I'll miss you-"

"I'll miss you too... precious," TheGentleman smiled. Usually, he would tell Mr Cheese to be on the shuffle on time, but he didn't want him to leave. They stood there for a moment before Mr Cheese slowly got on.

TheGentleman waved to him as the shuttle started its route back down to Earth. They both watched each other until they couldn't anymore.

After Mr Cheese had been out of sight for a minute, TheGentleman sighed and turned around. Tears started to fall more and more, but he went back to holding them in when he heard footsteps.

It was Captain. "Hey, TheGentleman... they already took Mr Cheese?"

TheGentleman didn't like this wording, but he nodded. "Yes."
