I just really...
It's been a few days...everything has been pretty calm thankfully. Black Hole has been learning very quickly, I'm proud of them.
I honestly have just been thinking a lot. About random things, I'm not really sure. My family, my mom.
My dad.
It's really filling up my head right now. Metaphorically of course, it would be weird if something could be in my head besides my brain...
I just...feel like I'm so reclusive sometimes...I feel like I can never tell anyone anything. It's exhausting, I can never get anything off my mind...
"Honey?"
I turn my head to see Black Hole standing in the doorway. I give a small smile, exhausted with my life. "Yeah? What do you need?"
They walk over and sit next to me on the bed. Wrapping their arm around me, "You okay? You've been kind of quiet." He says, pulling me into their lap. I chuckle, nodding a bit.
"I'm fine, thank you for worrying about me." I snicker, kissing their cheek. They give me a look, I don't think they bought that...
"You sure? You can talk to me if you want...?" They say, playing with my hair. I sigh, leaning back into their chest. "I don't want you so worked up over me. It's not good for your health..." I explain, folding my arms.
"Well, Remote told me it's not good to keep all of your sadness to yourself as well...remember when I did that? So please...tell me what's wrong..." They whisper softly, combing their slender fingers through my messy hair. I sigh again, "I just..."
I pause, looking for my words. They hum, letting me take my time.
"I dunno...I guess I've just been really stressed lately..." I admit, fiddling with my thumbs. They tilt their head, "How so?"
"I mean...having Jr. around is awesome. He's a really sweet kid, and I know they mean well...but sometimes he's just really rowdy...and I get stressed that he's going to get hurt or something." I explain, breathing deeply. Black Hole hums a sound of agreement.
"Go on..." He urges, letting me continue talking.
"A-and sometimes...I don't know! I just sometimes think I don't deserve you two..." I admit, curling up close to them. Their breathing hitches, pulling me closer to them.
"S-sometimes...I feel like y-you would be so much better without me..." I mumble, feeling tears well in my eyes. "I-I mean...you're a literal god! You could do whatever you want! You could kill us all! Yet you stay with me...with all my flaws...why?" I ask, tears steadily spilling over my cheeks.
"Honey...I stay with you because I love you..." They whisper, wiping my face. "But why? Why do you love me?" I ask, begging them for an answer.
They stay silent, I messed up didn't I? He's going to leave you now...you're going to be alone again. He's-
"Well...why do you love me?" They ask quietly, moving the hair out of my face.
"Why do I love you? Ha! I can think of so many reasons!" I laugh, leaning my head against their chest. They smile, nodding slightly.
"I can think of many reasons why I love you too..." They say, petting my hair some more. I give a dry laugh, wiping my eyes. "Oh yeah? Name one."
They ponder for a moment, "You're always there for me. Even when I can't really be there for you."
"...What do you mean?" I ask, tilting my head slightly. "Well...you remember when I hurt myself," They start softly, I nod. How could I forget? The panic, the fear, the sadness.
"Well...uh...I kind of...heard you, when you were talking to me while I was unconscious." They say, scratching the back of their head. My eyes widen, "Y-you did...?"
They give a gentle nod, "Yes...y-you were always there for me...yet I couldn't be there for you in a dark point in your life...but, you always seem to be there for me. I love you for showing me how to love, Tree..."
I sniffle, "B-but, the only reason that happened is because I wasn't there for you! I should have been more worried about you!-"
"Tree. Please." They say softly, I pause. Nodding softly as lower my voice.
"Like you said, it's not good to be constantly worried about something, I'm the one who should be sorry for not telling you sooner." They address calmly, they wrap their arms around my waist. Placing their head on my shoulder.
"I-I guess...st-still...why do you love me...?" I ask, wiping my face with my sleeve.
"I love you because you are the kindest, most generous, and most lovable person on this planet. You're the reason I'm still alive Tree...I love you to much to even understand." They whisper softly, I feel the tears coming back.
"Th-thank you Black Hole...I love you too..." I stutter, hiding my face in the crook of his neck. He smiles, combing through my hair again. "Are you feeling better?" They ask, rubbing circles into my back.
We sit in a comfortable silence, me laying in his lap as he continues to rub small shapes into my shoulders. I sigh, wrapping my legs around them as well.
"You okay now?" They ask, stopping their movements. I nod, smiling at them, grateful I got such a kind lover.
"Yes, thank you my love." I smile, kissing their nose. They chuckle a bit, blushing at the gesture.
I stand up from our hug, stretching my arms. "What should we do now...?" I ask, yawning.
They look away for a second, "W-well...are you still feeling well...stressed...?" They ask, picking at their nails. I shrug, "Feeling a lot better now...how come?"
"U-uh...L-Liy said that I should...uh...ask you if you wanted to have dinner at somewhere that's not home..." They explain timidly. I laugh, patting their shoulder.
"A date?" I inquire, they nod eagerly. "Yes. That's what it was called!" They exclaim, smiling widely.
"Sure, I'd love to." I smile, kissing them on the cheek. "I'll call Pen over to watch CJ."
"S-so...what time should we leave...?" I ask, leading them out of our room. They shrug, "Seven...?"
I beam, "Sounds good, I can't wait!" I exclaim, pecking them on the cheek. They tense up, face flushed. "Y-you always do this..." They grumble, holding me in a tight hug.
"It's fun!" I giggle, kissing their cheek again. They roll their eyes, "For you maybe..." I hear them grumble.
