two parasites in a room

Guilt

Fresh skated beside a grumpier, stickier skeleton, Nightmare. He mumbled, trying to out walk the other. Fresh got off their skateboard, handing it out to Nightmare and smiling.

"How bout cha try dis out m' brah!"

Freshs glasses changed from YOLO to RAD. Nightmare looked at them with a dirty look before breaking it and grinning. Nightmare suddenly looked up, Freshs normal grin was faded and a sniffle sound came from them. He groaned, rolling his eyes before getting caught off guard by Fresh going on their knees and trying to put the board back together frantically. He stepped back, watching them. His eye twitched while watching the other sob and give up for the first time in forever. Fresh just sat there on their knees, having splinters all over themselves. Blood seeped through the splinters as Fresh sobbed more.

"UUGH FRESH STOP! S-STOP THAT ANNOYING (RAD) NOISE! STOP!!"

Nightmare grabbed a clean area on their arms and pulled them up, slapping them on the face. Nightmare groaned as Fresh continued sobbing, just this time with a hand mark on their cheek bone. Nightmare looked at Fresh, summoning a skateboard that looked exactly like the old one. Fresh sniffles, rubbing their nose and looking at them.

"C,mon take it.."

"Its aint da same brah! Mah bestfriend made dat for me!"

"You can ask them for a diff-"

"THEYRE DEAD BRAH."

Guilt filled Nightmares body just because of those 3 words. Nightmare grabbed the broken board, using magic to seal it back together and handing it to them. Freshs face lit up, taking the board and hugging nightmare. He flinched and froze, his soul felt all warm in fuzzy...what the fuck did Fresh just do..
