It was Halloween. The kids were outside playing around in their costumes while the parents drove around making sure they watched their kids. I and my Roommate was handing out candy for them when Seasalt came over with a kid who was dressed as a Robot of some sort.
"Trick or treat!"
I gave the kid a few more amounts of candy, unlike the others due to they are hanging around Seasalt. The kid thanks me and digs into the bag to see what we had offered him then takes a bite out of the king-size Hershey bar.
"Sorry about last month (Y/N)," Seasalt reminded me of that little talk.
"It is ok besides I have other things to worry about so you don't need to worry about it."
He nods as he rubs the kid's head then waves him to walk off with him. It has been quite since Seasalt has come here but then again that doesn't mean I missed him. I have important things to get done and be an adult now. I can't just fancy a fuck like I could as a kid but even then I am not going to have sex yet. Not until I am married at less.
-Next day-
It was in the afternoon as the doorbell rings making me have to force my self to get into some fitted clothes to open the door to see Seasalt once again.
"Hey (Y/N), I was wondering if you would enjoy a cookout with me and the family. It's up to you and your roommate if you both want too."
"Oh sure. I will have to ask if he wants to go so when will it be?"
"Oh around six hundred hours."
"... What?"
"Oh you don't go by that time do you?"
I shake my head no to show that I'm not used to that time which makes him bring out his phone.
"I can just text it to you if you want me too."
"No, it will be fine. Just need to write it down is all."
He looked away and felt a little bad which I felt sorry for but I am not having him in my contacts. It already shows he has motives and I'm not going to risk my self for his enjoyment. I might go to a party or two but that doesn't mean I am his lover. I just want to be friendly not fuck buddies.
"I don't have a paper to write it down though."
"It's fine just let me get it."
"I am sorry."
I stop what I was doing to actually look at Seasalt. He looked bad as his eyes were red, his coat was dirty, and he was shaking the whole time. I didn't know what was going on but I knew he was not being helped.
"On second thought why not come in? We can make you something to eat."
"It's fine. I'm already trouble anyways."
I held his paw to take him to the living room and headed into the kitchen.
"Oh and my phone is on the table Seasalt, you can have my contacts."
A few minutes later I came out with fried noodles and leftovers from last night with some juice. He started to eat which is shown he has not been for a while now. I don't know if he was doing this to himself or something worse. I just know I have to be nice to him. No matter if he did try something stupid and reckless to me. I hate this but it's not my time or place to act dramatic over this. Some time has passed now as he finished his meal and lays back. His shaking has gone down much better showing he trusts me. I guess even adults need food to feel in place in hard times like this.
"So Seasalt if you don't mind me asking but what is going on?"
"What do you mean (Y/N)?"
"It's just that you are not getting the proper treatment you need. You are honestly not looking good and it sorta hurts seeing you like this. Is everything going alright at your house?"
He looked away and closed his eyes with a deep sigh. He had so much negative energy coming out of him as it felt like he needed to think about this question for what seems years.
"Not really. I don't want to talk about it but I will be alright soon. I mean I made it this far why to stop now?"
Without knowing this that sentence would be the key to all the madness later on but I didn't care since for now, I had to take care of him.
