Lore Inaccurate SMG34!

Part 10: Confrontation

SMG4's POV:

Me, Meggy and SMG3 sat at a table.

Before Meggy decided to call the police, mental hospital, or anything else- she wanted ourselves to discuss it.

Apparently, we can solve it ourselves, if she just gave time to explain it.

"Before I start anything, is there anything you want to say to eachother? Like a confession?"
asked Meggy, directing her eyesight towards me.

I sighed, and admitted "I followed you after you went to find Meggy. I wanted to make sure you were okay. I also admit to telling Meggy everything, but I didn't know what you meant, and wanted to make sure you were safe."

I continued to explain,

"When I told Meggy everything you said, she la- she knew immediately what was going on, and I still don't. I'm sorry if I've done anything wrong, it was only out of pure confusion."

"Hmm... you've thought about yourself too much recently. I've thought about you too though. Ever since I ran off to my room that one night, I've felt awkward around you, and you may not know why too much. Me neither."

SMG3 has been so honest lately, I'm so, so proud.

I've always been proud of him. I've always liked him a lot. It feels like somethings missing though, but I can't tell what. Oh well!

"Okay, that's good. I pieced things together the other day, and maybe, if I tell you what SMG3's feeling, he can overcome his anger and recent anxiety. We can help you."

On that last sentence, Meggy looked at 3 with a welcoming smile.

"SMG3, you are scared you are not liked. You are scared that the people around you aren't real, and you're in too much of a good spot in life to have anything to be fake."

SMG3 just stared at Meggy.

For the first time in a while, he was focused, taking things in, and realising.

His face slowly dropped, realising everything was true.

"Your recent paranoia sparks from the One Shot Wren incident. Although, you were in a state before where you had low self-asteem, and were already denying everything in the first place."

"All we can say, is that everything is real. Everyone you know and love are here."

"The real reason you're scared of liking SMG4, is because you're worried he will judge you and not like you back. Not so much because "it's an illusion."

Wait- what? When she said "like", does she mean romantically or platonically?

My mind started to race a bit, maybe the real reason everything has been going on was because of romantic feelings.

Maybe he had spared me, was because of romantic feelings.

I noticed, on that last paragraph of words, he got embarrased. He obviously didn't want me knowing, and I don't blame him.

On one hand, this will do numbers for my ego. Especially the person liking me being SMG3. On the other hand, this may change things.

Wait- would this change how I feel?

I look at him for a second.

Every moment I've spent with him, every laugh, every board game, every moment we've even looked at each other; it hit me in the face.

The reason I've been idolising him, is because I truly liked him.

I almost love him.

The reason I don't want anything bad to happen to him, is because I've liked him.

There was  butterflies in my stomach- the type you get when you're 13 and look at "Jason", the most popular guy in your grade (/j).

Everything about him changed. He was no longer a role model, he was someone I wanted with me the whole time.

I miss those moments earlier when he was clinging to me, asking me to stay. The fact he trusts me. I like him so much.

Holy fuck.

"4- are you paying attention?"

"I'm so sorry, uh... what were you saying?"

"Well, me and my good friend SMG3 here were arguing how he feels about you. He's saying he doesn't like you..."

If you listened closely, you would've heard my heart shatter into a million pieces.

He doesn't? I realised all of that, for nothing?

Now what.

"...But, I just don't believe him. It's not gone on for very long though, only since he said he cares about you he realised." she continued.

But, I don't believe her. I know SMG3, he wouldn't deny this at this point.

Does he really not like me? Maybe he never liked me in the first place.

"I think my work here is done though. I'm always here for you guys, come to me if anything goes wrong."

And just like SMG3 did earlier, she left through the front door and left us two alone.
