A/N : This is really short it's just a random one-shot I wrote lol.
TW : su1c!d3 and mention of death
It was time for art class.
The girl immediately got up, took her sketchbook off her shelf and started to draw, occasionally looking up at the instructions written by the art teacher on the whiteboard.
As she busily sketched away, the boy next to her turned his head slightly. "Hey, Emma?" The girl nodded her head, acknowledging his words. "...What would you do if your father died?"
She paused. She didn't look up from her paper, but she had to admit that question had caught her off-guard. "This.. this is all hypothetical, right?" Her head tilted as she finally lifted her pencil off the paper and her eyes averted to him.
She pretended not to notice the moment of silence that followed what she had just said. The boy muttered an incoherent yes as he looked down silently.
"Well, then I'd be sad." She replied as she picked up her pencil again and continued her drawing. Truth be told, she wasn't very sure how to answer. Being more of a rational over emotional person, she'd never been asked a question similar to this before.
"And... what if you found out he died by suicide?" The boy sighed. The girl's eyes widened ever so slightly, and she tried not to show her shock. "Would you tell people about it? If you were as close as our current relationship?" He continued.
Honestly, they weren't very close.
Just tablemates. Light banter and pleading for help over homework was common when it came to them, but as the girl pondered over that question, she thought of the times when she'd kept quiet, when she'd had people to talk to but chose not to, when the crushing weight of everything had threatened, was threatening to suffocate her but she'd didn't do anything, hadn't wanted to do anything-
"No. No, I wouldn't, honestly." She replied. "Hey, listen, Elias. Is this really hypothetical? It seems a bit too... detailed."
He said nothing.
"Elias, is this hypothetical?"
He didn't answer the question.
He still hasn't.
