Floating hearts

Nickel...put down the bottle...please

HIII it's been a while since we did angst HASNT it >:) good luck CW: Alcohol and abuse :P

Balloon's POV:
The hotel was kinda boring today, which is new cause there was ALWAYS something going on, either knife and trophy fighting and pickle having to separate them....for the third time in the day, Yin trying to stop Yang from committing war crimes, test tube blowing something up and us having to evacuate, or maybe suitcase talking to me and baseball. However everyone else was busy doing their own things today. Baseball was with suitcase, Fan was with Test Tube, and big bro was with Lightbulb. Now that I think about it, me and Nickel are the only single people in this group! I wonder if.....nevermind that's silly! Anyways I walk outside, take a little walk back to my usual calm down spot, the back garden. It's filled with tons of stuff, most are just really pretty flowers. I particularly love the lotus flowers, they are so beautiful. A butterfly lands on my hand, fluttering its wings a little. This is also a reason why this place calms me, the amazing garden animals are just so cute! I love the caterpillars that wiggle all over the place, and I love the butterflies that just fly around here! I water some of the flowers, making Paper's job a lot easier since he usually takes care of this place, he knows it brings me comfort. I wash my hands and leave the garden, a little smile runs across my face as I leave. "Balloon! I was just looking for you!" I turn around to see Paper! He was always like a father figure to me...not that it wasn't obvious, but he has a favorite.~
"Oh hi paper!! I was just closing up the place since ya know....its also my responsibility!" I assured him. "Oh! I was just going to come over and help but since you already finished....wanna spend time with me and OJ? We wanna play uno but two people are boring." Paper invited me. "Sure!" I went and played Uno with them for about an hour, Paper was on a winning streak. "That's not fair! You can't end on a special card!" OJ tried to dictate. "My ass! You can end on a special card! You're just mad I'm on a winning streak!" Paper boasted. "Yeah OJ....its been like this since forever, trust me, you can end with a +4" I pitched in. "Okay fine...I'm just a bit salty about losing...I'm sorry.." OJ sighed and admitted. "It's okay love, this was getting kinda boring anyway...balloon, wanna play another game?" Paper asks me. "Nah I think I'm gonna head to my room, you two have fun, later Dads- I mean Paper and OJ!" I stuttered, running out of the living room. I walk up the stairs, wondering where nickel was, I didnt see him all day come to think of it, then all of a sudden I heard glass shattering and crying....I gently opened the door to see what happened.

Nickel's POV: Time: while balloon was still outside

I lay there in my bed, sleeping, dreaming, a horrible nightmare....i was back at my childhood home, my mom was having one of her days again....she had a bottle in her hands, she was drunk, yelling at my dad and attacking him, I was there, watching and helpless....later that night, my dad packed me and his things up and tried to leave....but my mom....she found us trying to sneak through the back door....she waited for us....she tried to hit me with her bottle, but it hit dad....he didn't die, but he was bleeding really bad....he had to leave me. "$0rr¥ k1dd0, D4d h4$ t0 |34v3... 1 |0v3 ¥0u......." His voice was distorted, I barely remember a face, only that he was a dime....god....he left me with her, I have cigarette burns all over my legs....i wanted to leave with him....i miss him.... vv4k3 up..... VV4K3 UP!!!!!
I woke up from my sleep...it was all a dream...I head over to my liquor cabinet, it was hidden so nobody would know about my problem....i picked up a bottle of vodka and took a drink.......god, I look just like her don't I? My mom....i hate this. I FUCKING HATE THIS! I smashed the bottle I picked up on the ground, sat down in the corner and cried. I went back over to the cabinet and took another bottle, I was about to take a drink when.....balloon walked in. His face....that face.....I never want to see him make that face again, it was so full of disappointment and pity....gosh I'm pathetic. I don't deserve anything good. I don't deserve those beautiful green eyes to look at me with care and affection....i want to scream. "NICKEL! P-PUT THE BOTTLE DOWN!" Balloon rushes over to me, trying to take it away but I grab on tighter to it (again he has prosthetics!!) "Nickel...look at me...put down the bottle.....please..." He looked into my eyes, warm tears streaming down his face. I finally let go of the bottle, my own tears continued to fall. "I'm so...sorry.." I cried through broken speech. "Come on...bring it in..." he gestured for a hug and I practically jumped into his arms, letting my tears flow. He continuously just said over and over, "it's gonna be okay, I'm here for you".....I think I love him even more now......
