Flippy And Fliqpy Roleplay!

SECTION 7: IT'S COMPLICATED Part 4

Flippy stared. The images of his time in the army were coming back. The stabbing. The death threats. The corpses.
He'd thought, naively, that was as bad as life could get.
He was wrong. Fliqpy had been hurt in every way that it was possible to be hurt. And yet, he was still surviving, still managing to live. Still holding on to an aspect of his humanity. Flippy had seen him and Splendid and they looked like they loved each other. Whatever had happened between him and Flaky was nothing compared to that.
He didn't know what to say.
"You're not ugly," he said, his voice dwindled away to a squeak, "And you're not deformed. It's them who are ugly and deformed for doing that to you. The enemies. And the leaders. All of them."
He remembered reading on the news, the fate of the enemy generals after the end of the war. All executed for war crimes. A fate much nicer than they deserved. And the people on their side had committed atrocities too. Just, nobody knew because they'd won.
"Oh, Fliq..."
And at that point, he started to cry.

...................

Fliqpy hated this. When people took pity in him. When they saw him as a hurt animal. But he couldn't deny it any longer. He was weak. And he wanted to pick up the pieces and just be normal again. But it always seemed like life had other plans for him.
Maybe with Splendids and Flippys help he could get at least half back to normal or close. For now he didn't want to put much pressure on his brother though.

"Dont cry Flips..."

He said and felt his heart break a bit he felt tears on his cheeks and pulled his shirt over, before sitting down by his brother. The flashbacks were slowly fading for now, but he was still shaking. His arms were still covered in bandages, so he pulled his hoodie over as well, before putting an arm around Flippys shoulders.
"Me and splendid are dating as you've probably realised. I... Still haven't told him anything."

................................

Flippy nodded. Just thinking about Fliqpy and Splendid made him think about the break-up again. He wouldn't be able to survive without Flaky's help. Even the thought of going outside without her made him shiver.
But his brother had gone through a lot worse. He was going to try to be strong. For Fliqpy.
"I'm really happy for you, Fliq," said Flippy, "Splendid seems like a good guy."
Fliqpy nodded, giving Flippy a guilty look, "He is. "
"Flaky was good, too," said Flippy, in a distracted voice,
Fliqpy shook his head, "No, Flippy. She wasn't. She was a piece of shit and she used you, Flip."
Flippy felt like he ought to feel defensive, but he didn't. She wasn't his girlfriend anymore, after all.
"Yeah..." said Flippy. He felt uncomfortable already. He didn't even want to think about Flaky.
"Do you want to sleep in your own bed again? It'll be like old times."

............................

Fliqpy nodded.
"Sure."
And layed down on his old bed. It still felt comfortable, better than the one he has now, although they don't seem much different, but it seems to even smell of the past. But he didn't feel like sleeping that night. He pretended to, and waited until his brother was asleep. Then he just layed there and tried to rest but the flashbacks were coming back and his mind wouldn't let him rest. He moved around on his bed, sometimes lying on his side, his back, or on his stomach with his face stuffed in the pillow. He just couldn't get rid of the thoughts. What if Flippy would look down at him now. Treat him like a porcelain doll, he didn't want to be treated like that, with pity from other people. Even if he knew he wasn't quite sane now.
As soon as he saw it was 7 in the morning he knew Splendid had started his shift and he could walk home. He stayed at home and thought about what to say to Splendid, and texted his brother in the meantime saying:
"If you want I'll set you up with a girl and you can find a better one, I'm never letting that redhead near you again."
Then he decided to try and apologise to Splendid for what he's done. He got him his favourite takeout, Chinese, and decide to maybe get him a little gift, but didn't know what he liked. Everyone likes teddy bears though, right?
He got him a small blue one, that matched his boyfriends hair, saying "Love" across its belly and then sat down by his boyfriends door.
Only another hour before he'd be back...
But he easily dozed off sitting against the wall next to the door, after pulling an all nighter and exhausted from all the crying. Again.
