One Shots and Drabbles!

Roots and Branches ( Foxpet sadstuck )

The baby hadn't made it.

It's that simple, really. The baby had died as it was born, apparently it's little heart couldn't take living in a dream bubble. Maybe that's it. Or many it was the world trying to tell Foxx something. Who knows.

Wolf does.

The entire reason she had said those things, had been so mean, she had forsaw this when Foxx was only a tiny baby. She had seen it. And guess what, that's why the lived alone. Why Wolf, the once caring woman, was mean and cruel. She hated that prospect. Someone impregnating her sister, just for it to die in her arms. This wasn't what she wanted.

Then there was Foxx.

Oh she took it as a sign, the next day leaving Puppet for unknown reasons. No longer did she fill his void, no longer did she love him. She had moved on, she could be like that. She moved on, bonded more with Sollux and Alex. Foxx confessed again and hoped this time it would bare fruit. Results.

Puppet. The poor man, alone, discarded, his mother all over again yes, he was saddened. He had loved her, so very much. She just- she didn't see what he did. She loved him yes, he her, but she was distant in the coming days, thinking.

The real reason why the baby died?

Foxx. She had hoped the thing would just not be there anymore, but she didn't ask for death to it. She never would.

" I'm sorry Miss Kaiser, your child hadn't made it "

" POPPET THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! "

" Foxx- COME BACK! "

She sits alone and sings softly, holding her stomach slightly

" I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall
Running straight into walls while you’re suffering withdrawals
When will I ever get a better hand?
I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat
Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope
Oh, will I ever be a better man?

Am I meant to be alone?

Am I meant to be alone? "

He replied from across the way.

" I’ve been a shitty friend
I don’t know where you went
I just can’t handle any more

I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall
Running straight into walls while you’re suffering withdrawals
When will I ever get a better hand?
I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat
Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope
Oh, will I ever be a better man?

Am I meant to be alone?

Am I meant to be alone?

Am I meant to be alone?

Am I meant to be alone? "

Across the room, Foxx catches Puppet's eye. They stare like that for a bit, then she breaks it, turning back to Sollux and Alex, just as Alex beats Sollux for the 15th time in a row. She laughs, but it sounds hollow.

She was broken.

" Am I meant to be alone? "
