RODAMRIX AMONG US : One-Shots And Requests

Red x Tan: The Moon Will Sing For Us 🌙 (Request)

[Alternative Fanfic, ⚠️Angst⚠️]

Tan x Red is truly one of the most underrated rare-pair ships, I see them get along in my book. I couldn't understand why people hate them so much :( 💔💔💔

-----------------------------------------------------
...
Everything happened so fast. I'm a defective crewmate- but they'll only see me as an impostor.. What should I do? What can I do? I don't wanna die- I don't wanna-

"Red?"

Red's eyes widen, shaken by the voice who's calling out for him- he turns his head to face the person, as he did, it's Doctor Tan, who often works in Medbay. He didn't notice his hand on his shoulder. "Red, is everything okay? You haven't eaten your food, and you look so out of it.." The Doctor's eyes are narrowed and soft, staring at Red's confused face that's written over his face.

Red gulps nervously, a small blush tints his cheeks- embarrassed or just shy? "I'm okay, Doc." this doesn't convince the doctor. Tan looks directly at him, his confused face has a hint of misery deep inside Red. The Doctor sits next to him. His hand still on Red's shoulder, for comfort.

"Is it, the trauma you have from the skeld?" the pitiful look from the doctor, his voice saddened Red.

This isn't the truth why Red's upset- but there's a guilt inside in him, that he couldn't get everyone safe from the hands of Pink and Purple's hands. Red's afraid. He's afraid. He quickly turn his head away from Tan- surprising Tan during the process.

"Y-Yeah.." Red's body language trembles, just like his speech. The doctor quickly reassures Red, just by carefully caressing his shoulder. It makes Red blushes more in dark red, unsure how to feel about this- He suppose it's quite nice.

"I understand how you feel, moving on isn't easy." The Doctor reaches for Red's hand- Red bit his lip, nervous when the doctor's hand is on top of his.

"But I'm here for you. I'm here for you when you need help. I'm here to guide and support you through this- you're strong Red. I know that you can get through this. You're gonna be okay." Tan's hand pulls Red's hand closer to his, assuring him with a polite smile.

His words- touches Red's heart, it made him move closer to Tan. "But what If.. I couldn't do it?" Red sulks over the the secret identity he has. The Doctor's hand carefully clasped his hand over Red's, his other hand stroking Red's shoulder and then carefully putting Red's hair aside.

"You can."

There's tears that Red didn't know it was coming- it's slowly streaming down over his cheeks. "I.. I...-" words failed Red, didn't know how to respond to someone he thought he couldn't simply trust- but the way that the Doctor has spoken all of those words in a gentle manner, even reassuring him to take his process of his trauma- really gave Red a reality check around his surroundings.

"Let it out, but I'm here for you."

Red starts to sob, this makes his every line of his body tremble. The Doctor's hand runs down through his hair, and then gently pulls his head to be on top of shoulder, letting Red cry on him.

"There, there." Tan encourages Red to cry out the pain he recently has while carefully wrapping his arms around him.

I don't deserve this. I don't- Red thought of himself harshly, but it only leads him to cry more, and more on Tan's shoulder.
