(Human Society POV)
Abyss Monarch's Pov
The ceiling seemed more pleasurable than going out tonight like every other day. My couch also seemed more comfortable than my bed, or maybe I was too lazy to get up. Or I feel too empty and unmotivated.
But why do I feel empty? I should be angry. Angry at how father blames me for messes he causes at the company and how grandpa's too sick to know.
Or maybe I'm just bored.
I let out a sigh, moving my hand, only to let it fall over my eyes with a smack. I peeked through my fingers, tilting my head to stare out the window at the dark, ordinary sky.
"..."
I turned to my side, curling up, sucking in my lip.
If I had friends, would I be out eating dinner and drinking? If I wasn't so introverted?
I don't want to eat with them either. They'll probably use me.
My mind wandered to Electric Eel, who I met outside of work, and I felt myself heat up.
"Tch..." I muttered, sitting up.
Why was he constantly filling my mind, even when he wasn't by me? Why is he always so persistent in spending time with me even when I say I'm too busy? And how dare he act so casually around me? I get that we met randomly at a bar, but he's too relaxed!
I turn on my phone, click open my message app, and into our chat. I stared at the screen intensely, at the last message.
(4:08) Eel: Hey, let's go eat dinner together
I want to tell you something
(4:10) Monarch: I don't know, I'm a pretty busy person
(4:15) What did you want to tell me?
(4:19) I guess I could spare some time...
Why didn't he read my message? Is he in trouble? It's been almost 4 hours...
Or perhaps he finally decided to abandon me like everyone else.
I don't blame him. Why would he be friends with someone who never wants to hang out?
I bit my lip, combing my hair back messily. But I do want to hang out... I just don't know how...
A knock on the door interrupted me. With a groan, I pocketed my phone and dragged myself unwillingly. I smoothed out my messy dress shirt, pulling open the door with a swing.
"Who is it?" I said impatiently.
"Of course me!"
My eyes widened, and my head snapped up to see Electric Eel leaning on one foot and holding a bag in one hand. Did he spray on cologne? Shoot, do I smell okay?
No'ones Pov
"Why didn't you reply?" Abyss Monarch said irritatedly, crossing their arms.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Electric Eel blinked, confused, "Didn't I reply?"
He pulled out his phone from his ridiculously oversized pockets and mumbled, "Oh... oops."
