Bob X Wade - Journey Into Love

Off To A Bad Start

"Sooo. . ." Bob said, fiddling with his thumbs, "What is this all about, Wade? You were crying on the phone, I would have come last night but-"

"I couldn't have you walking at midnight, or even drive" Wade cut in, who hadn't looked up this whole time. No, he was transfixed on the ground, "So w-what happened is. . . she left"

"What?" Bob asked, sounding confused, "Who, what?"

"M-Molly" choked out Wade, covering his face. Then he started to sob again, "S-She just, randomly left. She didn't e-even say why!"

It really upset Bob to hear all this, knowing Wade had just been talking about the wedding planning. Then he stood up, moving to sit next to his best friend. Slowly, Bob wrapped his arm around Wade's shoulder, pulling him closer, "Wade, it's okay, you're gonna get through this. I'm going to make sure, okay?"

Wade lend his head into his shoulder, closing his eyes. The pain will end soon, he hoped. . . it wasn't like he dated a tone of people before her, though. Maybe two girls- but even then that wasn't serious. Molly? He was planning to marry her, have kids with her, spend the rest of his life with her. But she had other plans. . .

The silence felt odd to both of them. But neither of them knew exactly what to say. Bob had never been in a serious relationship- he doesn't know what this is like. He doesn't even know if he's gay or straight. While Wade was emotionally drained, and all his thoughts were spiraling out of control.

It's not your fault. . . it's not your fault. . . it's not. . . your fault. . . your fault, it's all your fault. It's your fault it's your fault it's yoUR FAULT IT'S YOUR-

"It's my fault!" Wade suddenly cried out, rocking himself, "M-My fault, it's all my fault it's my-"

"Wade, Wade oh my God calm down" Bob said, completely freaked out by his out burst. Then grabbed his best friend by his wrists when he tried to attack himself, "Wade, listen please. Don't start that again- you've been doing so well with the self harm. . ."

"J-just, this once then never again?" He begged, rocking himself softly, "Please please-"

"No, you stop it" Bob said strictly. Then sighed, pulling him onto his lap. Wade lowered his head into Bob's chest and weeped his eyes out. There wasn't much Bob could do- he wasn't going to let Wade start that bad habit again.

The way Bob found out Wade was self harming wasn't well, the most pleasant way. Pretty life scarring actually. Though, it never is pleasant when it comes to the subject.

Both of them were still in highschool and pretty great friends. But at the time, Bob didn't know when he took a joke too far and Wade never got that Bob was joking. Unknown to Bob at the time, Wade looked up to him and took everything he said to heart. So when Bob joked that no one loves Wade and 'who could marry a face like that? Look at it fellas, if he gets married then I'm the next queen of England' - it killed Wade. Bob was right, no one could love him. Especially his crush. . . so he ran to the bathroom crying his eyes out- people laughing at him as he ran past. Then went to the boy's toilets no one used because well, the actual toilets are broken. Kids only went in there to do drugs, fuck, or self harm. Of course, Wade went in there and got his blade out from his bag.

Bob felt horrible watching Wade run away crying. But at the time, the bell had gone off so he went to class. But, when Wads never showed up. . . he knew something was wrong and used his charm to get a hall pass. Knowing Wade- he had a feeling he went into the abandoned bathroom to cry. But he got the shock of his life when he rushed in there to see him sitting in one of the stalls, trousers down, cutting at his thigh. They both froze- and Bob passed out.

Bob covered for Wade when he was at the hospital, saying he was feeling dizzy and went to that bathroom to throw up but just passed out going in the door. Though Wade didn't want Bob lying, he was grateful that he did that for him. No one could know he self harmed.

But now Bob knew and from that day on, he's been trying to help Wade every single day.  The cutting will not start again while he's still on this earth.

"I can't watch you hurt yourself" Bob said, sighing, "After all these years, I can't see you going backwards. . ."

Wade looked up, tears in his eyes, "Will anyone ever love me again, though?"

"Yeah, they will" Bob said, rocking him still. He smiled when he saw Wade pit his arms around him, "We'll find them together."

So I've liked this ship for a while and after seeing the awful fanfictions it had, I needed to write my own and bring more attention to this ship.
