Yet another fic I have no name for (ibvs)

V

I'm sorry that this chapter is really short, I just thought I'd end it here, so I could warn you about the angst in the next chapter, that's gonna be  w i l d .  ds-and-ibvs-nerdo knows what's going on (since they are practically working on this with me at this point), and starlypenguins has a vague idea.

Edward woke up, wishing immediately that he hadn't.

It had been like this for the past few days. He kept refusing to go to school, in fear of hurting someone else, especially the people he cared about, like Isaac- wait, what?

"The fuck?" He wondered aloud, not knowing where that came from. The mere existence of Isaac repulsed him...

...Right?

He swore under his breath, rolled over, and tried to go back to sleep.

Oh, and failed.

"Really, again?"

"Yeah, if he was here," Isaac informed Chris "we'd definitely know. He is the school king after all."

"Hm, guess you're right."

...

"Are you concerned?" Chris asked, half jokingly.

"What? Why would I- oh god, don't tell me you still ship us!"

"Well, first of all, it's payback for that sketchbook," (if you watch Starlypenguins you'll get this) "second of all, I'm not even doing this to spite you, I think it would be pretty interesting."

Isaac facepalmed "You're still going on about the Chrevinstoph sketchbook? That was ages ago! And they're just drawings!"

"Yeah, "just" drawings of Nevin and I kissing. Anyways, what's a good ship name for you two? Isward?"

"Chris!"

"Fine, I'll stop. For now, at least."

"Jfdfffddfedws-"

Barry was worried about Edward.

Of course, so were the supernatural investigations club, but literally the only person who would admit it was Chris, since the others either apparently hated him, or just didn't know him well. He decided to talk to Isaac, since he'd been observing him, and found that maybe, just maybe, he doesn't hate Edward as much as he always claimed.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

————————————————————

Isaac felt someone tap on his shoulder. He turned around and faced the person, who was Barry.

"Oh, hi Barry. What is it?"

Barry inhaled and exhaled "I need you to come with me to Edward's house."

"Huh? Why me of all people? I literally hate him."

"He hasn't attended school in days, Isaac! He hasn't even answered my texts! And I can tell that you're worried, we all are."

Isaac crossed his arms "Tch. So what if he hasn't? That isn't my business."

"Stop pretending you don't care! Just... please..."

"Fine." Isaac rolled his eyes "I'll be the "decent person" and go with you. Just know that I don't care about him at all."

"Yeah, no one believes that, Isaac."
