((WARNING!! SUICIDE MENTION))

After the convention Flug and BlackHat instantly went home. Once they entered the house BlackHat swore he would get as far from Flug as possible, but once they entered the house they were stopped by Dementia.

"WOE!! FLUG??? IF THAT YOU?? Where is the world is your bag????" She leaned forwards to examine the scientist. Flug completely forgot about his bag. He tried hiding his face behind the jar of snake eyes. "I-I got into a fight and they ripped my bag..." Dementia became interested by the fear and nervousness in Flugs voice.

"Let me touch your scars!!" She tried reaching over the jar to touch Flug but BlackHat put himself in front of him before she could.

"You two are both idiots, stop playing and both of you get to work! And Flug--" He glanced behind him to look at the man. He wanted to gag at the look he was giving him. He felt his face once again heat up at the sight. This man truly was making him go soft..

"Put on a new bag and get started on that stupid 'reading minds' potion or whatever it was, that's an order." Flug nodded and scurried off to his lab. Dementia stayed and just glared at BlackHat.

"Come on man, I was gonna actually get to TOUCH Flugs face! But YOU just had to get in the way!!" She crossed her arm and stomped her foot "What has been up with you lately??? You wont even let me provoke just a little fear in the guy!!" BlackHat crossed his arms mockingly back. 

"Nothing has been 'up' I just--" BlackHat had to ponder a bit about his next move. "You just what? it's not like YOU don't mess with him once and a while!! I wasn't really gonna do anything! You've been acting weird boss, as much as I love you I have been noticing AND judging" BlackHat was getting tired of this. He had to choose the right words but couldn't find them. 

"I just don't want you two causing a commotion is all! I should be the only one allowed to mess with Flug because I am his boss." Dementia smirked "Well Flug CREATED me so I should have all the rights to mess with him too!"

As they were arguing they heard a soft laughter coming from the lab. They simply looked at each other and pretty much raced each other to peek into what Flug was so giddy about. 

Flug was hanging out with 5.0.5, he didn't have his bag on yet. He was at his desk and patting 5.0.5 on the head.

"Thanks sweetie.. That means a lot to me. I would wear the bag less but I'm just-- so ugly with this scars..." The bear made a soft concerned growl and stood up and hugged Flug. He limply hugged back

"But... What if they get scared and-- grossed out? I mean.." Tears began to form into his eyes. "My scars arn't pretty 5.0.5... I know you think they are but that's because you can see the beauty in everything! And I gotta say.. That's an amazing trait to have.." The room fell silent

Dementia all of a sudden came out from spying and yelped with tears in her eyes as well.             

"I THINK YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL TOO FLUG!!" She ran over and joined the hug.

All that was left was BlackHat. He quietly stepped out from behind the door frame. "Ahem." Flug quickly jumped out of the hug and stared at his boss. Of course he was there. When wasn't he secretly watching him! "I-I'm sorry sir!! I'll get to work on--" BlackHat interrupted "Meet me in my office Flug." And with that he walked away. Today was an emotional day for Flug, he got attacked, cried, then got caught hugging his bear son and cried, and now he's gonna have to fight with his boss and most likely end the day crying. Flug looked back at Dementia and 5.0.5 and said weakly "C-can you hand me an extra bag..?" 5.0.5 quickly handed him on and gave him one last hug before he went off to BlackHats office.

Once he reached it he quietly opened the door. "S-sir? Y-you wanted to see me?"  BlackHat mysteriously spun around in his chair and looked at Flug.

"Take the bag off." Flug flinched. Didn't he JUST order him to put the bag on though? He didn't argue. He took his bag off and sat on the chair at his boss's desk. 

BlackHat took a deep breath "Do you remember when we first met Flug?" Flug looked up from his lap and nodded. "y-yes sir..." 

"Do you remember HOW we met?" He began tapping his fingers against the desk, impatiently waiting for the doctors response. 

"Yes sir.. I---I crashed into your house... With my plane.." Flug slouched in his chair trying to make himself smaller. He wished he could just-- disappear. 

The room fell silent

BlackHat said in a very soft voice but still stern. "Do... Do you remember why you crashed?"

....

"Because I---." Flug looked backed down into his lap as tears fell down his face once again. "Because I wanted to die doing something I love... F-flying a plane.." BlackHat got up and walked around his desk to meet with Flug. He crouched down next to his chair and looked him in the face. 

"And what did I tell you?" Flug looked over to his boss and looked him straight into his eyes. Why was he doing this..

"Y-y-you said.. If I can't find a reason to live-- then make one.." BlackHat nodded. He hesitantly reached over to touch Flugs hand. "And did you... Find that reason Flug?" His heart was pounding. He never had such a-- deep conversation with someone...

Flug Limply nodded and a little smile formed on his face. "Y-yeah... I choose to live for you guys.." BlackHat nodded back. He was about to say something he never thought he'd hear come out of his mouth.

"I care for you.. And I--" He looked to the side "I don't know what you see when you say you're ugly. Because when I look at you--" He looked back into Flugs eyes and blushed. "When I---- When I look at you... All I see if this-- beautiful person.. And it--" He aggressively stood up and walked over to the other side of the room. "IT DRIVES ME MAD!!  It drives me mad you can't see what I see!!!!" He looked over to the large mirror on his wall and quickly grabbed it and walked back over to Flug. "When you look in this what do you see??" Flug hesitated.

"I see someone weak.. Someone burned to a crisp... And I don't understand that you--" "ENOUGH" He went over to the wall and hung the mirror back up. He didn't turn around to look at Flug. "You need to see youself as someone worth something Flug. I know you think you are worth nothing. But to me, 5.0.5. even Dementia--" He turned around as tears strolled down his face.

"You are worth so much more than life itself. Flug we are a family and I--" He slowly walked over to Flug and leaned back down to his height. "I--- I really..." Flug reached over to touch BH's quivering hands

"Sir I--... I understand.. I'm sorry that I never seen it before... I know I should be aware you guys care for me and-- I should learn to love myself.." BlackHat stayed silent, he watched as Flug cried and Flug watched him back. BlackHat quickly kissed Flugs hand and nuzzled his face into it.

"I just don't want to lose you... I know I act like I don't need you but--- I do.. I really do.." Flug carefully embraced his boss with a hug. "I'm sorry sir... I-- don't want to lose you either.. Though sometimes you scare me you have never hurt me.. I always knew deep down You really cared for us all.." BlackHat tensed up

"But what if I care for you more than everyone else?"
