"Oh I'm sorry," The waiter said despite the fact he had nothing to blame. The shock of having someone fall onto him caused the plates to shatter to the floor. He looked up in a state of panic and quickly struggled to wipe all the china clear. Horror got down on his knees and picked up the piece she forgot.
The waiter blushed and thanked Horror while he walked back he swore he could hear him scream
"I'M GAY BTW!"
The skeleton chuckled slightly and went over to his boss to explain that he'd dropped someone's order, for the second time. He could hear as he walked past the rumours about him being spread. He merely hung his head. He knew the rumours weren't true.
He was fairly sure you didn't forget if you lost your virginity that easily but no one seemed to believe him. Heck his name didn't even have to mean sex.
You can have a lust for food right?
He slowly opened the door to his boss when he saw someone else was already in there.
"Ahhh Lust." It was Muffet the boss of the place. She drummed her fingers on the table annoyed at Lust's dreadful performance before she looked up
"You're fired!" She states calmly
Lust staggers back in shock not sure what to say. He's messed up before, but he's never been fired by a spider, the most fickly monster.
"Ex-excuse me?" Lust asks more than says. Confusion is swimming in his brain and the shocks wearing away. He can't believe it. His whole career's just thrown out the window in two words.
Muffet smiles sweetly prepared to explain where Lust went wrong.
"Well first off the plate. It's the second time Lusty~" she purrs before continuing
"And we agreed didn't we, no more of those clothes or.."
Lust doesn't wait to hear the rest of the conservation knowing already it's because of the rumours that he's fired not because he has a lack of talent.
He grabs his bag and rushes out into the streets. In a cliché novel, it'd be raining and his clothes would be soaked within seconds. In real life, however, the sun was shining down and there wasn't a cloud in sight. Families were hopping about desperate to wade in the sea. Lust knew he'd never do it again. He wanders far enough down the streets before sitting on the curb and crying.
He cries for what seems like years, burying his head in his knees and not listening to anyone. Within his self-hatred. It's his fault he dropped the plates and it's his fault the rumours got around. It's his fault Mettaton wasn't stable and it was his fault. Everything was his fault.
The tears streamed down his face at a stable pace yet it seems like they've picked up sight. Suddenly there's a sooth motion on his back (IDC about logic)
Lust looks up and he sees the figure from earlier. He still has his beanie on and he's smiling and muttering reassuring words t him but the words hardly get through Lust's skull. He looks up at the person helping him and sees Horror.
Lust starts to speak but the words come out as chocked sobs and Horror just rubs his back. It takes a while before his senses clear up and Lust can hear the words he's saying.
"It's okay. It's not your fault. I can help you get the job back." He keeps the supportive words in a steady flow but at the mention, og going back to Muffet makes him shiver. He shakes his head at Horror's suggestion.
"I'm fine." However, Lust is trying to persuade himself more than Horror. His life was falling apart and it'd be only a few weeks at most till the money he had saved would crash down and no longer support him.
For all of Lust's wrongs, he didn't want to be bringing in money any way other than hard work.
"Do you wanna go back in and sit with us. You'd be on my lap we have no room." Horror suggests and Lust laughs at how they fixed the problem. He shakes his head anyways not wanting his co-workers to see him in the state he's currently in.
Lust expects Horror to walk away when he doesn't go with him instead of sitting down beside him and open a chocolate bar. He bites into and the words 'thank god dream had millions of these' leave his mouth. Lust laughs and looks at it pleadingly. Horror chucks some on the floor which Lust goes and picks up.
The silence between them is comfortable until Lust had to ask the question.
"Are you gay?"
Horror laughs silently at the question while his mind whizzes trying to figure out if the skeleton was into him.
"I don't know but my friends are so f-ing gay that even if being gay isn't contagious they'd probably infect me anyway. They're all super gay. Like Dust and Blue are sitting on each other. Ink blushes a rainbow for f sake. They're so gay apart from Betty but she's a girl she can't be gay." Lust stares at him before laughing.
"You're so gay like you wear a beanie. Hypocrite." Lust laughs before Horror removes his beanie. Suddenly Lust doesn't find it funny.
The hole is gaping and Lust does everything not to scream. Horror yoinks the beanie back on before he throws his friends under the bus, "It's all Dream and Blue had, they're gay." Lust laughs and the tears start pouring again but this time not from sadness but laughter. He's howling on the pavement while Horror keeps talking about how gay his roommates are.
"Is this like a contest on who has the gayest friends because my bro legit screamed at a straight female 'Get off my boy' while wearing skinny jeans." Lust laughs harder at that memory of his brother being the biggest idiot he'd ever been.
"I never got your name." Horror states suddenly realising he doesn't know the kid's name.
"Lust, and you are?"
"Horror wanna go get back to our seat. You can sit on my lap."
This time Lust doesn't decline and takes Horrors hand as he leads him back to Wetherspoons.
