[POV: SAPNAP]

Alexithymia (n.) the inability to express your feelings

Sapnap stared around at the shed, spotting a beetle scuttling along the hard floor. Sapnap reaching out and poking it, and opening his eyes wider in surprise as the beetle crawled onto his index finger. Sapnap lifted it up to eye level idly before walking the beetle fly away, his gaze following the beetles path until it flew past the pistol resting beside him.

Sapnap staring at it for a second before picking it up again and resting it in his hands as he ran his fingers over the cool metal surface. He wondered when Punz would be here, or if he would think to check in the shed. Sapnap brushed his fingers over the trigger, and a burst of intrusive thoughts pounded in his head.

So he listened to them this time and raised the gun up to his head and rested the barrel against the side of it. He considered pulling the trigger, but instead instead just rested it against his head as if it were a pretty accessory or bow and not a incredibly dangerous and deadly weapon.

He wondered when Punz would be here, we was quite bored waiting for him. Well, he was being held at gunpoint by himself so maybe not necessarily 'bored', but quite out of it.

[POV: PUNZ]

Punz shoved the the phone into his pocket hurriedly, then ran to grab the car keys off the counter. Fiddling with the lock on the door until he was finally able to open it and burst out the door and dashed down the concrete pavement.

Punz rushed to open the car door as he clicked the unlock button on the keys as quickly as possible. Almost jumping into the car seat, before slamming on the breaks and speeding down the road to get too Sapnap's old house.

Immediately noticing as he pulled up, that Sapnap, was in fact, not at the driveway as they stopped the car and pulled out their phone. Groaning in annoyance as he realized it's battery had died, glancing around the streets again before realizing that he had no choice besides going into the house or at least the yard to look for him.

Checking around anxiously as he stepped onto the still slightly damp grass, spotting the swung open doors of the shed. Curiosity got the best of him as they decided to check it out, hoping that's where Sapnap was.

His eyes were still adjusting to the dark shed as he spotted Sapnap's leg poking out into the light reflected into the shed by the moon. Following the leg up to his body, seeing Sapnap holding a gun to his head with a bloody hand.

Punz froze for only a millisecond, before lunging forward and body slamming Sapnap, in hopes that he would get the gun away, Sapnap yelped in surprise. As Punz slammed Sapnap into the ground he couldn't help but gag at the smell of alcohol that washed over him as he got into proximity with Sapnap.

Punz's eyes flickered around the ground desperately looking for the pistol. Spotting it as he got off of Sapnap and snatching it up, jumping back from Sapnap who was just now sitting up.

Punz stared fearfully at Sapnap, who only looked up in confusion.
"I wasn' gonna shoot myself." Sapnap protested, reaching his hands out like a child awaiting a cookie to be put in their hands.
