The mergeverse

An old 'friend'

{Dagger's POV (First person):}

Me and Miles had headed back inside after Lucifer stopped playing, deciding to just let him have a bit of alone time. We got bored pretty quickly, so Miles suggested we head back to our universe for a bit to try and find something to do.

I teleport us back, making sure we were teleported somewhere out of sight. I didn't quite mind being seen anymore, I didn't care what people thought, but it was still safer to not get caught teleporting. And yet somehow we still were. And I unfortunately recognized the voice of the person who caught us. 

"Who are you?"

I looked over, confirming who I thought it was. However, he looked different than I remembered. "Corbin?" He too, seemed to recognize my voice a bit. "Vamp?" I cringed at hearing that name again. "Dagger." I corrected. "I go by Dagger now." He nodded, seeming a bit awkward around me. I didn't blame him, things had been awkward when I last saw him too. I heard Miles whisper to me. "Who is that? And how do you know him?"

"Right, Miles, this is Corbin, an old.. friend, from like high school. Corbin, this is Miles, a newer friend of mine." I took in Corbin's appearance a bit more. "So, you were a vessel too huh? Never would've expected that from you." I guessed that Miles could tell I wasn't very comfortable seeing Corbin again, and he gently grabbed my hand, giving me a slight sense of comfort.

"Same to you I guess, but I suppose it's not all too surprising for you, you always were into monsters and that kind of stuff." God this was awkward. I did not want to be in this situation. I'd rather be stuck in that damn lab again than deal with this again please help. In response I heard Killer laughing at me. Classic Killer for ya. I'm serious, this kid is my fuckin' ex. We ended on kinda shitty terms.

Ooooh shiiit. Yeah ok fair. I'm gonna still be no help though. Great. Sucks to be me I guess. "Soooo, how ya been?" I heard Corbin ask, snapping me out of my thoughts. I gave him a 'are you fucking serious' look. "Taking one look at me should answer that question. Haven't exactly been doing all that well." 

I sighed and turned away from him. "Just cut it with the small talk, we aren't friends anymore, you know this." I began to leave, Miles following behind. I waited till we were away from Corbin to do so.

"So long story short, I dated him at one point in my junior year I think, but we ended things on not very good times like 3 months later. Let's just leave it at he broke my trust, and I can't bring myself to trust him again, even if he has changed."

{Corbin's POV (First person):}

I watched Dagger walk off, feeling guilty, realizing how much I had really hurt him. You really fucked up, huh? I heard Swap say. Look, I was kind of an asshole in high school. I didn't know any better. I just wish he'd actually give me a chance to show I've changed.

I decided it was better to just leave him alone. If he didn't want to see me, I wasn't gonna try to make him. I mean, things did still kinda feel awkward between us, I wasn't even sure I wanted to see him yet. Maybe some universe hopping could get my mind off this for a bit.
