⚠️ TW: Mentions of self harm ⚠️ 

and a teensy bit of angst(?)

(been through a breakup which is why this took SO GODDAMN LONG!! but alas I'm fine now. ONTO THE GAYNESS!)
-----------------------------------------------------

??? POV

"Long time no see, Faker..."

"What do you want...

DEMON..?"

"Kill Pico, by any means necessary. Be it in his dreams or other means. I need him dead..."

"Your jealousy knows no bounds. But I will grant your wish on one condition: A question."

The demon rolled their eyes...

"You hate the blue boy, no? So why go to such extents to torture him?"

"He broke my heart! HE WAS MINE GODDAMMIT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND???"

The demon had ??? in a chokehold. But ??? simply grabbed the demon's hand and threw them across the room.

"Your emotions grab you by the throat. You hate the blue boy so much, it takes up every inch of your life. Very well, I will grant your wish. But know this:

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO BROKE MY GAME."

??? then glitched, presumably teleporting. The demon simply scoffed and wiped the dirt off their shoulder.

"...And I'll break your game, over and over and over again..."

Pico POV

"So cold... Hungry..."

"Waayy ahead of you B." I said while handing him a tray of chilli dogs. I wrapped Keith in a warm blanket and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.

He seemed so... out of it. Ever since we were dropped off home, Keith seemed to be in another world. He ate the chilli dog but... his eyes. I could see he was emotionless.

"Hey.. talk to me B. What's up?" I asked, hugging him from behind.

"I'm fine." Keith said coldly. I could see him rubbing his arm..? A question for later...

"I know damn well that's not true. Tell me what's up." I demanded. I needed to know what was wrong so I could comfort him the right way.

⚠️ (mentions of SH starts here!) ⚠️

After a while, Keith didn't speak a word but he rolled up his sleeve and showed me his arm.

Actions speak louder than words.

Scars... All over his arm??

"What the hell... Why didn't I see it before??? Goddamit I'm so stupid. I'm so sorry Keith!" I said to myself.

"In the shower, you didn't see... I hid it from you. Everytime we had sex, I tried my best to hide my arm. I wanted you to feel happy Pico.. When Kapi said... that word. It triggered something in me.." Keith started to tear up

"I'm sorry Pico.. I know I'm a bad boyfriend.. Kapi is right, there are so many more girls and boys that are better than me.. Why would you want a boyfriend with scars all ove---"

Keith self deprecating is the last thing I want to hear, so I interrupted him by kissing him.

"S-shut up! J-just stop talking!!" I yelled, hugging him more tightly now.
"There's no one more perfect than you!! So don't listen to a word from whatever that grey furry freak has to say! I love you for who you are! You're funny, cute, hot and sexy and- and... These scars?" I looked at his arm, and then at him with tears in my eyes.
