I Can't Stop... - An OK K.O. story

Small Mistakes

T.K.O.... Why is my headband gone?

I could hear the skepticism in his thoughts... "I'm sorrey! I was just-... concerned..."

You took control again, didn't you?

I lowered my head in shame, both of us fully knowing the answer.

He quickly returned to the mindspace, not willing to put this off. He now stood before me, with that same shadowed face from the time he trapped me in the subconscious... I froze, terrified of him. You never knew just how terrifying K.O. could be until he gets seriously mad. Even in my fear, I noticed something was very off about K.O.... I couldn't tell what. Maybe his demeanor? I could tell he was furious, which really surprised me. Even though I'd been scared of doing anything in case he got mad again, I never thought he'd ever actually get upset with me over something so small. I didn't even get a chance to do anything, I was too tired to.

I tried to maybe get a word in, just to see if I could say anything at this point. I couldn't think of anything to say though, but there was a single question on my mind...

"Are you okay, K.O.??"

He seemed to have a double take as he blinked in confusion. The shadows left his gaze and he just stood there for a moment, thinking. I stepped a little closer, now genuinely concerned for him. I never realized I'd ever have these kind of feelings... I'd only ever been angry and upset. Maybe being in that void helped me? I couldn't even be sure. K.O. and I seemed to stay in a stand-still for quite a while, neither of us speaking. It felt like maybe ten minutes before K.O. just left the mindspace again.

I was left standing there in total confusion. Something about that didn't feel right... What had happened to K.O.? Was something wrong? Does he not like me anymore? I could feel myself begin to panic, but I tried to keep cool and not worry about stuff for now. Maybe some rest will do me good...

As I was heading to my bedroom to try and sleep in bed, I got distracted by that TV. K.O. was cuddling mom... I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy that he was out there getting mom's love, while I had to stay stuck in here all the time. Sighing, I continued on to my room, hoping to forget about what had just happened. I plopped onto the bed and tried to sleep, but I couldn't even close my eyes. I was just kinda stuck staring at the ceiling. Thoughts ran through my mind, thoughts I couldn't even talk about, let alone really remember. It almost felt like a dream, a bad one, but a dream nonetheless.

I wanted to talk to K.O. about getting the chance to be in control more often, but I know now that he probably wouldn't agree to it... After how he reacted to me taking control for just a moment, who knows how he'd be if I even asked about having more control. Why couldn't I just get another chance? I guess he did give me another chance, but this time, I really have changed! I want to prove to him that I've change, but how could I possibly when I'm stuck in here all the time?

I might not leave notes on all these parts. Idk. Just tryna figure out how I wanna continue this. Also, yeah, there is something wrong with K.O. hehe.
