Missing (Regretevator Fanfic)

"Ice Cream."

Side-Story; Poob got tired from the excessive partying they've had and was desperate to meet Crem after days and days of waiting and fighting. (This is slightly Platonic and Romantic so--)

Poob was tiredly went to the HC ice cream store as they got out of the elevator and fell to the floor. "Poob..?" Crem muttered loudly as Poob dragged themselves into the serving desk(?) and raised their hands, dramatically and tiredly say "ICE CREEMM...." Poob says as Crem sighed, they made the ice cream double and having a Strawberry and birthday cake flavor, as soon it was finished, Poob quickly got up from the floor and took the ice cream. "Thank u! :D" Poob says happily and started licking the ice cream cheerfully.

"..So, Poob..Where have you've been?" Crem asked softly and having the same warm smile. Poob then snapped their head to Crem as they thought of what answer, they couldn't tell Crem about the stuff they've went through. "Well..Uh, mi and Pezt has been goin somewere!" Poob says happily as Crem slightly lost their smile. "..Right." Crem says quietly as they grew more jealous. Why would Poob hang out with a dude that is a beetle and smelled so bad? He smelled like rotten gasoline. Crem sighed and turned to Poob. "Hm? Anything wron? 3:" Poob says as Crem slightly got surprised "Well, it's uhm...Why do you hang out with him?" Crem asked,
"Cuz he's cool!" Poob replied,
"I know but it's just.." Crem trailed off their conversation as they sighed, "It's just...I have this weird feeling that I don't want you around him." Crem says as they continued "It bothers me." They added as Poob thought for a while "...Ohhh! Ur upzet because we ddn't hang out with u?" Poob guessed as Crem slightly got a bit more frustrated. "..No!.. It's just..-- I just want you to be with me, just for a while and NOT bringing or dragging him here." Crem says as they placed their hand on their chest. "Just you and me." Crem added as Poob came to a realization.

"Ohhhh! Ur jealous!" Poob says a slight teasing tone as Crem got confused. "... Jealous?.." "Ye! Liek...Wen some1 lieks or thinks the other iz more fun and cooler than u!" Poob says as Crem got a bit flustered "I..-- Well, i just like being with you, Poob. It's just..." Crem paused. "It's been lonely. I don't like it...I've been lonely since years! You're my only friend, Poob." Crem says, saddened as Poob tried to reassure them. "Awh...Don worrie! I am here now! :3" Poob says as Crem smiled a bit, "Yeah...You're here." Crem says with a warm smile. "Now dats da smile i missed!" Poob teased as Crem got a bit flustered but chuckled it off. They'd then watched Poob eating their ice cream happily as Crem kept having conversations about their days and how have they've been doing.

Poob is the one who would talk and yap about something all day without stopping or not planning to. The atmosphere was... Empty yet, so happy. Crem never felt this warmth on their chest, it's was pleasant to meet their friend Poob. The only friend they had.
