43: Reed900

Gavin sits on his bed, holding his freshly made cup of coffee. He stirs the hot drink with a small spoon, doing anything but drinking it.

He stares at the wall in front of him, thinking of sad memories, really. He was trying to make himself cry. He hadn't cried in such a long time, and he knew he needed it. He felt it deep in his chest, but it wouldn't come out.

He picks up the coffee and pours a bit on his arm, hoping a slight pain could make him cry. It worked a bit, bringing slight tears to his eyes, but not enough to make him sob. And he really needed to sob.

He takes in deep, quick breaths, trying to go to a place in his mind to that could hurt him. No matter what he thought of, he couldn't cry. And it hurt him. He wanted to- no, he needed to cry.

He decided to take in shallow breaths, breathing out heavily and burning holes into the comforter. Nothing worked though.

He decided to call the meanest person he knew of besides himself. Hank.

"Reed, what do-"

"Make me cry. Yell at me. Do something. Please make me cry," Gavin pleads, annoyed and a little amused at his own begging.

"Have you gone fucking nuts? I'm not going to make you cry-"

"Make me cry! Fuck, Hank! Please, for the love of god!" Gavin yells, trying his best to provoke the elder man.

"Goddammit, Reed. Get some help. You sound like a fucking lunatic drunk. Fuck, I don't even know how that asshole android can stand living with you! You're absolutely unbearable. So would you please leave me the hell alone?" Hank screams through the phone.

Gavin sits there, trying to let the words get to him, but to no avail, nothing happened.

"You fucking suck at this."

"I tried," Hank shrugs, chuckling a bit. "Why do you want to cry so bad, anyway?"

"I just haven't in awhile. You ever have that deep pit in your chest where you want to cry, but can't?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah. That's why I need to cry."

"Okay. Get Conan to do it or some shit then. He can really hurt you, you know."

"Oh- you're right. Okay, I'll probably do that then. Thanks anyway, old man."

"No problem, asshole."

Gavin hangs up the phone, groaning in frustration.

"Conan!" He yells, trying to get his lover's attention from the living room.

"What do you want, meat bag?" Conan calls back, trying to finish their work that they were supposed to finish by tomorrow.

"Make me cry!"

Conan takes a minute before coming into the room, "what?"

"Make me cry."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"No."

"Please," Gavin begs, setting his coffee cup on the nightstand so he wouldn't spill it.

"How?"

"I don't know, just do it."

Conan frowns, "you're being rude."

"Well sorry, I'm asking for a simple thing and you can't even do that for me."

"Whoa whoa," the android holds up his hands, "what the fuck? I do everything for you."

"You really don't."

"I do everything for you to be happy. I don't want to make you upset."

"Please Conan," Gavin whimpers, feeling sensitive emotions in his throat, "I need this so bad. Please, please just make me cry."

Gavin places his head in his hands, feeling the sadness crawl up his throat in victory. Tears well up in his eyes, his bottom lip quivering.

He closed his eyes, a tear drop falling, but that was it. He huffs, "okay, whatever. This isn't working. I guess I'll just be lame and not cry."

Conan gives his lover a funny look before shaking his head and leaving the room.

Gavin lays down on his stomach, scrolling through his apps. He stops on this particular video, seeing crying emojis placed in the caption.

He watched the five minute video, already sobbing at the start of it. If he wasn't so sensitive at the moment, he wouldn't have cried. But fuck, he was sobbing into a pillow. Actually, he was sobbing and laughing, but it's the same difference.

He'd make sure to thank his aunt for sharing that upsetting video.

•How was this?
I know it didn't make much sense but I've been feeling that way for such a long time, and my friend finally showed me a sad video and made me cry. Shout out to her lol•
