After over a year, Four is still salty about the BFB split, growing more and more restless with the need for revenge.
warnings: this is probably going to have some gore and sensitive topics such as self harm, and suicide. i'll mark chapters with t...
X sat on the couch, waiting for Two to return. His eyes widen as Two walks in, rubbing their cheek with watery eyes. "Two, what happened??" X sat up taller and turned to face two. "I think I pushed him a little too far.." Two gave an awkward smile, clearly not too upset about the situation.
As two walked closer, X frowned at the mostly faded red mark on Two's cheek. "Did he hit you?.." His voice and expression were both full of concern. "Yeah, but it's my fault, really, I think I scared him..." Two sits on the couch next to X again, looking a little guilty. "Four? Scared?" X looked almost amused. "How'd you do that?" Two just shrugs in response.
Two and X sit in silence for a moment. "Did.. did you at least work things out?" X asked, looking up at Two. "No, we just argued.." Two responds, fidgeting with the seam of the couch cushion. X is silent for another few seconds before standing up. "I'll go talk to him.." he walks off, leaving Two to sit in silence.
Four is laying face down when X opens the door, face buried in the pillow. X walks over to Four, sitting on the bed next to him and reaching out to touch his shoulder. The sudden contact causes Four to sit up quickly, about to lash out until he realizes it's X. "Oh, sorry- hi.." Four looked a little guilty, but X smiled at him, getting a small smile in return.
"I know this is all so sudden, Four.. but i really need you to try to understand Two.." Four's smile fades as soon as X mentions Two. "I know, i- they just- i don't know.." Four really didn't want to talk about Two, but he knew X wouldn't budge on this.
"And you can't just be violent for no reason, either." X stared at Four, waiting for Four to agree. "I didn't mean to, it just, happened.." Four glanced away, unable to hold eye contact with X. "That's not okay, Four... just- make sure it doesn't happen again, OK? Two just wants to get along, they just come off a little strong sometimes.." X gives Four a smile, who can't help but return the smile. It was like a reflex at this point..

"Alright.." Four looked X back in the eyes, the two smiling at each other for a moment before X breaks eye contact, remembering something. "Oh, and I'm making spaghetti tonight, with garlic bread." The random comment caught Four off guard, snapping back to reality. "Oh- great!" Four's smile faltered a little as X stood up and left the room.
