It's been a few months. Well, that's what it seems like anyways. They don't count the days anymore, there's no reason to. They did manage to stay in the zone ruins for the entire time. It's been good, there was just one incident when one of them came into the zone. Surprisingly it was Asher who took care of the problem. As time when on Asher has become more and more friendly and social around the other two. Ace has managed to get some things a little more under control, nothing else has changed in all honesty. Scrap on the other hand has been acting strange more often recently. More often he gets those small episodes, just like when they were trying to get back to the zone. He wont talk about what's causing them either, he just shrugs them off whenever Ace asks about it. It makes her worry, he's such a good person but he's too reserve. The last time he opened up was a few weeks ago shortly after Asher solved the issue with one of them. Is wasn't the best of time.
~flashback- two weeks ago~
Scrap found out that one of them found their way in. He really wished that he was there when it happened, he didn't know Asher was able to take care of it himself. He walked off into one of the building that was further away from where Ace and Asher normally spend their time. With his disappearance Ace noticed and started searching for her friend. It wasn't hard to find him as she was able to follow the footprints that were set in the dust. She walks into the semi-dark room to see, as expected, Scrap sitting in the middle of the floor with his head in his hands. She knew that something wasn't okay. She walks up to him and sits down on the floor In front of him. He looks up and makes quick eye contact with Ace but just looks back down.
"What's wrong?", she asks quietly but loud enough for him to hear. He just shrugs, not wanting to talk. She moves herself a little closer and says, "I'm not leaving till you talk to me".
Scrap just shakes his head, "Its all my fault that they're still around.", he says, "it's my fucking fault. If I was dead they wouldn't even be out there right now you know that right. Its because I didn't kill you at the beginning, they're angry at me and want me dead.". Ace didn't know what to say. She didn't like this, she didn't like seeing him upset, he doesn't deserve any of this.
"You should have let him kill me.", he says, with eye. She knew what he was talking about it and it hurt to hear him say that.
"Do not say that", she says shaking her head trying to ignore the thought of letting Kor kill him.
"Well its tr-". Ace cuts him off not letting him finish what he was going to say.
"No stop just-just god I'm sorry", she says.
Scrap looks at her with a confused expression, "For what?".
"I just feel bad. You're someone I care about and if rather not see you go through things like this", she says looking down at the floor.
"I don't want you to feel bad about this though. I-I don't want to know that I'm making you feel bad because of me.", He says in a low tone, starting to feel kind of guilty.
Ace just shakes her head again, "No, it's not your fault, it's just the disadvantages of caring too much.".
He grows silent for a moment, he's heard it numerous amount of times that she cared about him, and she really did. But each time he heard it, it still set him back a little bit.
He lets out a sigh, "but it is my fault, if I wasn't fucking like this.". He voice starting to grow shaky from being upset.
