My OCs do weird things

SF and NF's story

I feel like this needs some tws sooo...

TW: violence, forced happiness, pill dependency, manipulation, guilt tripping, really toxic friendship, self harm (but not for the reason you think)

It all started in 2004.

Dr. Parker Monberry had found the two, who had escaped the Backrooms at the same time and accidentally head butted. Their hands met, and they merged into a giant god-like entity called Seaspace. It was black and white, had a giant smiley face, and looked totally strange. It took a black crystal (that was found on the necklace of Seaspace) to split it apart. The two were separated.

The backrooms lore and science shit will be discussed in another chapter and I'm not interested in the backrooms lore anymore so idgaf right now.

The two, once released, lived in an apartment funded by Parker. The two got strange looks for their faces, but nobody ever tried to ask them about it.

The two were living in a city by a beach, which they'd always go on midnight walks in. Negafoam fell in love with the crabs around, and Seafoam liked the water sounds.

But not everything was perfect.

Seafoam was obsessed with the idea of happiness. Being a partygoer, she had lived in an environment where everyone was malicious... murderous... yet happy. Seafoam always felt odd, and even when she morphed her appearance into something with a smiley face, she still never felt happy. She had no clue why she could never feel happy. Negafoam noticed this, and frequently tried to bring her any form of joy.

Seafoam was trying anything. She even carved a smiley face into her arm to see if that would make her happy. It didn't, and it hurt, so she bandaged it up. She found these (somewhat illegal) pills called 'Happy Pills' that would make people happy on an instant.

(Note: Seafoam was not depressed, and these are not antidepressants.)

Seafoam felt happy instantly, and would eat a lot of them in attempt to be happy. Negafoam often tried to tell her to stop, and they weren't going to make her genuinely happy, but Seafoam never listened.

Seafoam was doing more research to why she was never happy, and figured it out. From Parker's research, she found out that Seaspace was the most euphoric entity ever. Being half of Seaspace, she concluded that she would have to become Seaspace to be happy. And nothing else. Just happy, and only happy.

She approached Negafoam one afternoon.

"Hey Negafoam, can we talk?" She smiled.
"Hm? Oh, sure thing! What's up?" Negafoam smiled, chomping her plate of mashed potatoes.
"I figured out why I can't be happy most of the time, and it's because of Seaspace!"
"Hm? Seaspace?"
"Yep! When we merged, that was peak happiness! And I just have a desire to feel it again!"
"Oh, I see! Well, good job on figuring it out!"
"Thanks! Do you have a desire for happiness?"
"Eheh... not really. I feel most happy when I can express myself. Anyways, where are you getting with this, crazy cat?
"If I were Seaspace, I'd be okay! So, let's merge!"
"H-Huh? What?"
"What? What's wrong?"
"... Are you being serious?"
"Of course I am, why?"
"... (sigh) Seafoam... I... I don't want to be Seaspace. I found happiness in other ways... and, I want to express myself healthily."
"... What? Negafoam, you're denying me of my happiness?!"
"I-I'm sorry, I just think it's a little unhealthy to only be happy-"
"Are you fucking serious?! We could be the happiest person in this universe... AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT?! WHY NOT?!"
"... Look, this obsession with happiness? It's not healthy! Seafoam, it's hurting you more than you realise!"
"NO IT'S NOT! JUST LET ME BE HAPPY!"
"It's not like we can anyway! The only way to merge is if our hands make contact whilst we're in a vulnerable state! We can't merge, get over it!"
"..."
"... I'm sorry for yelling. Just... please let me be happy in peace."

The two wouldn't argue like this for ages. Seafoam kept taking Happy Pills, Negafoam kept befriending crabs and expressing herself. Everything was fine. Seafoam would occasionally try to guilt and manipulate Negafoam.

"You want me to be happy, right?"
"If I'm not happy I'll keep eating these pills, and you don't want that... right Negafoam?"
"We'd be so happy... why would you hurt me like this?"
...
Until one day.

Seafoam had the crystal. The exact crystal that separated Seaspace. Parker had gave it to her since he didn't really need it.

"Oh... it's so beautiful! I feel happy just looking at it!" She smiled. Then her vision blurred. She got an idea.
"So... sharp. So... happy."
...
"Negafoam said we can't merge unless we're both in a vulnerable state? And if our hands touched?"
...
"... I have an idea."

Negafoam was just at the beach that day, relaxing with her crabs. She was testing out her powers she discovered lately. She was happy.

Seafoam approached.

"Negafoam... come here."
"Hmm? Why?"
"Just... do it."
"... What's wrong?" She stands up and approaches. Her crabs caught on that something was wrong.
"A little closer."
"You look happy today."
"Oh... I'm not happy... I'm euphoric!"
Seafoam grabbed Negafoam's wrist.
"Wha- h-hey, why are you gripping so tight?!"
"Just hold still! And I may not say it enough, but thank you so much for being here! I love you like you're my other half!"
"Wha- where's this coming from?"
"You'll see!" Seafoam slowly took out the crystal. Holding it like a knife.
"Wha- S-Seafoam! What are you doing?!"
"It's okay... close your eyes if you want! I'll make you so happy!"
*stab*
Negafoam gasped in pain, and tried to pull away.
"AAAAAAHHHH!"
"Shhh! It's okay! Now... merge!" Seafoam smiled, putting her palm on Negafoam's.
...

Nothing happened.

"Wh-... What?" She looked shocked. So shocked she didn't notice Negafoam had backed away. To say she was pissed... is an understatement.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" She yelled, gripping her bloody hand. Her crabs came to her aid, trying to stop the bleeding.
"... I... I thought I was vulnerable... why..." Seafoam was stunned.
"YOU NEVER LEARN! THIS OBSESSION WITH HAPPINESS WAS HURTING YOU! AND NOW YOU'VE HURT ME!"
"..."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE SO UNWILLING TO FIND A HEALTHY SOLUTION THAT YOU STABBED ME! ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!"
"..."
"YOU PROMISED YOU'D STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE ME! YOU SAID YOU CARED ABOUT ME! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET ME BE FOR ONCE?!"
"..."
"THAT'S IT, I'M DONE WITH YOU! YOU'RE THE WORST FRIEND EVER, DON'T CONTACT ME AGAIN!" She summoned a portal and entered. Her crabs followed, and so did a jellyfish. The portal died fast.
...
"... Oh... what's this? I feel... happy." She smiles. She was so broken that she had no clue what happiness even felt like. She pulled out her pill jar.
"Happy! Happy as ever! It's like I don't need her to feel happy anyways!" She smiled, guzzling pills.
"Oh Negafoam, you were only dragging me down! You were the one thing stopping me from feeling true happiness! And now you're gone, I'm feeling the happiest I've felt for ages!"
