⚠️6 - Its Been Brewing⚠️

He heard his alarm go off his room but he was too tired to do shit about it. His head resting on his knuckles and his other hand lightly grazing lukewarm coffee mug, still full. His eyes wandered around outside in the rain: a rather perfect display of his current mood.

He needed a walk.

A walk in the rain would fix this feeling, probably. Simon lifted his finger and traced the path of a rain drop on the window.

"Are you in a sad music video or something?", he dropped his hand and leaned back.

"Ha ha...dumbass", JJ sighed

"But really, are you alright?"

Simon snapped then, pushing himself off the window sill and stormed towards the nearest mirror. "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE".

"Wha-"

"NO,  YOU COME INTO MY LIFE AND COMPLETELY DESTROY IT'"

"Simon, please jus-"

Tears were streaming down his face, voice breaking as he screamed "YOU FUCK WITH MY HEAD.  YOU THREATEN TO KILL ME, THEN YOU MAKE ME FEEL WANTED, LIKE I AM SOMETHING, WHEN I'M JUST A FUCKING WASTE OF -"

"SIMON"

He went to yell back but couldn't and sank to the floor choking on his sobs, curling up. He felt his left hand on his right one, stroking it gently. Instead of pulling away, Simon turned over his hand and held his left one.

"I don't want to live like this anymore JJ"

"... I'll be gone tomorr-"

"NO" he croaked before he could stop himself.

Simon slapped his hand across his mouth. "No?"

He started shaking, tears trickling over his fingers. "Hey, hey, come on" His left hand slowly removed his other hand from his mouth and held it.

"I don't want to keep doing the same thing everyday, for what. I work everyday, I hardly have any friends and any I do have I push away because of the time my dad's business consumes"

"You could always leave, couldn't you" Simon slowly shook his head.

"My dad wouldn't let me, he wants me to take over. He is in control of all of my income, he could completely cut me off"

"... so your trapped", he just stared in front of him. "Right" the voice was filled with anger and grit, with a background noise filled with tapping a keyboard.

After a while it stopped, an exhale followed soon after. "Here" Simon's left hand gripped a chair and gently pulled him up. A ping was heard from the kitchen, sitting there was a freshly brewed cup of coffee. A sigh of contentment passes his lips as he shook his head.

"What, I can hack other things"

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

As Simon tapped away at his keyboard, he felt a sense of sadness. He thought back to the morning, his breakdown and how JJ calmed him down and had a conversation to forget the moments before. Drips of anxiety pooled in his heart as the end of the workday came.

As he exited his software, he heard a familiar tone in his ear. "Okay, get up the security details of the company", something was up. There was no element of sass, anger, flirtatious intent: in fact there was nothing.

As Simon got up the required window and stared at it, he began to worry about the monochromatic nature of JJ's voice. Could it be possible that JJ didn't want to go either, maybe. No, this is KSI, probably only even speaking to humour him. But then why did he tell me his name. These thoughts bounced back and fourth through his mind until JJ spoke again.

"Finished... goodbye Minter"

Minter, not even Simon. But why did that hurt so much. He buried his head in his hands before standing turning towards his bed. Just as he was coming to terms with his plain reality again, he barely detected a mutter in his ear.

"Fuck it"

In a split second, Simon's left hand pushed him down onto bed. Both his hands traced up and down his sides. Without his input.

"You know what", Simon shivered, colourful voice back.

"I might hold onto you a little longer"

A little slow maybe?
Apologies for the shorter chapter, they'll get longer from here
