Sweet and short like
Lachlan's POV
"Hey guys.." Vikk started. I was watching his new video.
He said in the title that he was sharing a big secret.
He's always been my best friend, he'll always be my best friend.
I didn't think he had a secret with me.
He's told me everything from the time that he stole a can of Dr.Pepper for his roommate Josh to the time he lied about going to a party to his parents.
"I have something big to tell you all." He continued. No game play, no background music; nothing. I started intently at the screen.
Vikk was home, in the room next to me, yet i didn't hear this video being made. I could tell he was kind of on the verge of tears.
"This whole time I've been doing YouTube, I've kept this from all of you" He says.
His face was slightly red and his eyes puffy, as if he had been crying before hand.
"All the times I have ignored hate comments and blocked out the haters.." He trailed off. He looked truly sad.
"I've been putting up these..walls. I'm not as strong as people make me out to be" He said. That's when he broke.
Tears flooded his cheeks and voice cracked with sobs he tried to stifle. I paused the video and threw my phone to the side.
I hastily got up and walked out to his room. I knocked softly on his door.
"Yes?" he called. "Vikk, can i come in? It's Lachlan." I mumbled through the door.
"Mmhm" He muttered. I turned the handle and walked into his room.
"What was that video all about?" I asked. He looked up from his phone in slight horror. "Oh erm uh. Just talking about things." He said stuttering.
"what does 'I'm not so strong as people make me out to be?' mean then?" I asked. He looked down, throwing his phone to the side.
I sat down on his bed and took him into my arms.
"It's alright not to be strong. Not everyone has to be all the time. And you are strong. No matter how badly you think you aren't, you are, Vikk." I mumble into his hair, giving him a kiss.
"I-I'm not strong. I'm not" He stutters through tears. "Shush alright. Just relax. Don't stress Vikk." I whisper, holding him tightly.
He cries and cries, burying his face into my chest.
"You with the sad eyes, Don't be discouraged" I sing softly as i rub his back.
"Though I realize, It's hard to take courage" I smile.
"In a world full of people you can lose sight of it." I bring his chin up to face me.
"And the darkness, inside you makes you feel so small" I boop his nose, smiling softly.
"But I see your true colors shining through" I sing a little louder.
"I see your true colors and that's why I love you" I grip his hand sweetly.
"So don't be afraid to let them show" I shake my head.
"Your true colors, True colors" I slow down.
"Are beautiful like a rainbow." I finish off.
He smiles softly, giving me a huge hug. "Thank you Lach. That made me feel so much better." He says as he pulls away.
"I'll always be here for you, Vikk. Always" I smile, ruffling his hair.
He just smiles.
