It was early in the morning, too early for him to able to function, but he did promise to Moon he'd be there so it was nothing he could do. He got up, slowly putting on his clothes, the usal, another of his favorite bands t-shirt, some trip pants. Today instead of putting his hair on a mohawk, he put it up in a ponytail. No makeup today, only his sunglasses. They then put on their docks, got some breakfast, packed some food and going to the other's house. He knocked, once again Sun was the one out.

Sun: H-hi...- he said, once again whit his pijamas, that hoddie and those pants.

Monty: Are you ready to clean?- he asked and the other let him inside the house, the alligator taking off his boots.

Sun: N-not really.

Monty: That's fine, just make me company I can handle it.

Sun: You don't have to do it.

Monty: But I want to.

Sun: O-ok.- they said, following the other to the kitchen, bitting the bandaids in his fingers, then he notcied the smaller's socks- Kitties?- the older chuckled, before looking at what he out on.

Monty: Yeah! I really like cats!- he said has he made his way to the sink begining to clean the dishes.

Sun: Do you have a cat?

Monty: Had. When I went away for a month I gave it to family. I haven't gotten another one since I'm scared of ending up in the hospital again.

Sun: That's hard.

Monty: Yeah... Do you like cats?

Sun: I love all animals!!

Monty: Really?

Sun: Mhm.

Monty: Why don't you have a pet?

Sun: I struggle to get out of bed. I can't take care of myself much less an animal.

Monty: I can help you.

Sun: How?

Monty: I've been meaning to tell you this, Vanessa gave me the keys to your house, if you wanted me to help you take care of them, I can. I can always give you the keys, if you're not comfortable with me having them.

Sun: She gave them to you whitout telling?- they asked anxious, scratching their arm.

Monty: I thought she did.

Sun: Nope... What if you wanted to hurt me?! She really gave you that power?!

Monty: Have the keys. I don't want you to be more anxious.

Sun: No..- they added, spacing out yet again- Moon wants you to keep them.

Monty: Do you want me to keep it?- he spaced out, Monty figured when they did that they were usually speaking whit their other half. Then that shook their head getting back to reality.

Sun: Yes. He said it's better... And it is... If I'm stuck in bed I don't starve. You can bring me food.

Monty: Alright... Once we get your house clean, you want to get an emotional support animal?

Sun: Emotional support animal?

Monty: Yeah. You're very anxious, if meds don't work, maybe having a pet would help you a bit.

Sun: What kind of pet?

Monty: Any you'd like!

Sun: Can't be one that involves much to keep up... Specially going outside.

Monty: I know I'm biased, but you could get along whit a cat. They're independent, you just have to feed them and change the litter.

Sun: I-I can do that.

Monty: Want me to help you get everything set up?

Sun: P-please.

Monty: Once I'm done whit this dishes let's sit down and see cats to adopt. I know a good shelter. I can explain your situation and depending on it, they don't have to come to your house... And if they have too, I'll be there whit you.

Sun: Thanks... You think having a pet will help my anxiety.

Monty: Maybe. My kitty did... Although I don't think it's best for you to get a baby, maybe one whit one/two years...

Sun:It's interesting how a big and kinda scary guy like you has a soft spot for kittens.

Monty: I know I'm very bulky and yeah at some point I was the type to punch walls but I'm more then just my outside... Back when me and Bonnie started dating I learned how to play bass to play whit him... Then I learned the guitar so I could seranate him...- the taller went to him, hesitating before putting their hand on their back, Monty could tell they were nervous, only touching him to comfort him, so he didn't look back, to not worsen his anxiety.

Sun:I don't think you deserved them... Actually... We. We don't think it.

Monty: Sunny I'm a better person now but Bonnie wasn't always abusive and he wasn't the only one who was it.... He brought out the worse in me. Still does.

Sun: How were you in the relationship?- he asked, cautiously taking his hand back.

Monty: I hit walls, I'd hit myself, then say it was his fault... I'd get drunk and just scream at him...

Sun: Did you start the fights?

Monty: Never. I just wouldn't go down whitout a fight.

Sun: You just reacted then?

Monty: Yeah.- he could feel the other's touch, has if he gained more trust by talking about how he used to be, rather then lose it- I'm trying to be better. There's no excuse for what I've done... I went to anger management classes... Therapy...

Sun: You're getting there.

Monty: Yeah... I haven't punched walls or any of that shit for over a month... I still struggle whit self harm, but after me and Bonnie worked it out it's easier.

Sun: I-I've been a day free.- they let out, their hand on the other's shoulder, them leaning towards them, but careful to just touch them whit his hand.

Monty: I'm happy for you. The first few days are the hardest.

Sun: A-aren't you going to ask more?

Monty: Do you want to tell me about it?

Sun: N-not ready.

Monty: Then no, I don't have nothing to say.

Sun: T-thanks.

Monty: It's nothing, I know how it is for people to ask to many questions about your recovery.- he pointed out, finishing washing the dishes, the younger let go of him, Monty now dried his hands whit a towel.

Sun: Monty, will you hug yourself?

Monty: Why?

Sun:Well I want to give you a hug but, I'm not really comfortable enough to give it, so do it.- the other chuckled doing it.

Monty: Is this your way of trying to comfort me?

Sun: Mhm.- the older let go, of themselves, the smaller left the kitchen, going to get his laptop, the older picked up the trash from the floor and the counter has they did so- What's the site?

Monty: I'll show you the works, just help me here for a second.

Whit that said, both of them worked together, cleaning the whole kitchen, Monty going to put the trash outside before coming back, eating an edible and looking at the site whit Sun. The taller was surprised that the other trusted him enough to get high around them. Maybe they should trust more the older.
