Something you might need to know: Lightbulb and Paintbrush may not act as they would canonically.
Pretend that Hotel OJ is at another island but close to Season 3's island.
Scenario: Lightbulb found Baxter after she lost him for 2 days and wanted to celebrate with Paintbrush.
Title: Fire Flickers, Even Its Darkest Moments
Paintbrush was lying in bed.
They were a hot head. A very hot head.
They didn't want to deal with Lightbulb.
Even when she tries to make things by adding jokes, it seems to make it worse.
"Congratu-FUCKING-lations. I'll spell this out for you then since you don't understand. Fuck off." Paintbrush snapped.
"I just wanted to celebrate with you, okay Painty? But you can't just shut me off is there something that's bothering you? I mean if you don't want to tell me, fine. Just say that. Simple as that but I don't think you understand what I'm saying it at-"
Lightbulb began just to get cut off by Paintbrush.
"NO. YOU'RE THE THING THAT'S GENUINELY BOTHERING ME HERE. EVERY FUCKING TIME I WANT TO BE ALONE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GET IN THE WAY, TRYING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER EVEN THOUGH I TELL YOU IT DOESN'T HELP. LIGHTBULB LITERALLY JUST GO KILL YOURSELF IT'S NOT LIKE ANYONE EVEN LIKES YOU."
They bellowed.
A single tear came from Lightbulb right eye.
"Oh," The fragile lightbulb whispered.
"I'll do it for you. Because I- love you."
Lightbulb then quickly scrambled out the room.
Paintbrush was too angry to even realise what had even happened or what Lightbulb had said.
They went to bed without any thought.
The next day, Lightbulb was found dead in the ocean.
Supposedly she drowned while trying to go for a quick swim. But that's not what happened. Or is it?
Everyone was out, watching her body on land.
OJ went to Paintbrush's room.
"Paintbrush?" OJ called out to them.
"Oh, hey. Did you need something?"
The paintbrush replied as they looked up from their phone screen.
"You should come downstairs. There's an incident."
Paintbrush's eyes widened.
"What happened? Is anyone hurt?"
"It's better if you see for yourself bud."
Two of the objects rushed downstairs.
Just for Paintbrush to see Lightbulb's body.
Paintbrush's eyes widened.
End.
I will not take requests underneath oneshots. <3
