Swap x Depressed! Reader

Your life has always been filled with hate, abuse, and discrimination. You came to a point that you didn't care anymore. You would've been fine of somebody hit you or called you a bitch. You just didn't care. But when you met the gang, Swap seemed to try to make you seem happy.

Swap always tried to get you to smile or get you to laugh. You sometimes smiled or gave a snicker, but that's all Swap could get. No real reaction to shoe you were happy. Today he saw you sitting on the couch, listening to music with your eyes closed, as he sighed.

You perked to someone sitting next to you. You pulled out your right ear bud and turned to see Swap. "Hey." You greeted. "H-Hi." Swap greeted back. You continued listening to music as Swap tried to think. He couldn't tickle you. You didn't like it and you still had bruises over your sides and neck.

Swap hesitantly wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you a little closer. You perked as you felt Swap hugging your side gently. You shrugged and placed your right ear bud back in your ear. Swap saw you peacefully listening to music as he hummed.

Now he had to admit, you were kinda like Swapfell. You had been depressed for so long, that you got used to it. You really couldn't be saved. Swap then began to think about how you haven't stocked up in junk food or avoid exercise.

You still stayed as healthy as possible. If anything, you just had those words  and events playing in your head on repeat. Swap turned on the TV as he decided he would just let you do you. You're not hurting yourself, you're not avoiding meals or exercise, you're just having a hard time.

"Maybe... I just need to let you do you." Swap whispered as he kept the TV on a low volume. "That'd be nice. I've been getting annoyed with you playing 'Dad'." Swap jolted as he looked at you. "Have I really been doing that?" You laid down, head on his lap, as you paused your music.

"Well first you've been playing 'Housemaid' but you've been playing 'Dad' recently." You said as you looked at Swap and smiled. Swap chuckled as he ruffled your hair. "Ok. I'll stop." You hummed and fell asleep as Swap watched TV.
