Fount

@minwagesugar You told me yourself, you didn’t want to show the “ugly parts” to someone you’ve only just begun to know. I would only be overstepping by staying. I shouldn’t have come this far, that was my mistake. That much is clear. You won’t be alone for long, he'll be here. Take care.

@hatethisshift wait- … don’t… go. please… i hate being alone here…

...Sugar? Forgive me, I don't mean to assume, however...

@minwagesugar No. Still as bright as ever, to me. ... Perhaps I've moved too quickly and misjudged my place here. Forgive me. Whatever you’re dealing with, everything between you and him… it will find its way in time. I—I am irrelevant here. I won’t interfere further. .. Goodnight Sugar.

@hatethisshift i-if he comes back- he’s been just- leaving a lot more and i- i don’t wanna stop him but i just- i think… i think he’s tired of me… which is- why i don’t want you to get tired of me- or to see how awful i am- i don’t… want to be alone… …ah- my makeup is ruined isn’t it?

@minwagesugar No... No, you didn’t ruin anything. Perhaps—perhaps I'm not the one you need. I came because I was concerned, I still am, but… someone closer maybe would have... suited better. After all, I'm basically a stranger. Your roommate should be back soon. I'm—I'm not needed here.

@hatethisshift … i’m sorry- i-i’m *so* sorry- i didn’t want you to- see this- i’m normally better at managing a-and hiding how shitty i get- witches- i just… ruined everything, didn’t i-

@minwagesugar .. . I… I didn’t meet a mask, I met you. …And that was enough for me. Your hand is bandaged now. You should rest. And— I... I think… I should go. We’ve both said enough for tonight.

@hatethisshift how would you even know ME if all i fucking show is the mask to everyone-! what if *me* is just worse than you imagine-! .. …i- i’m sorry… i’m- going too far again- aren’t i…

@minwagesugar I'm—Stop it—Stop pushing me away! Nobody is asking you to be "perfect." You don’t have to be for me to stay. I’m not here for a version of you that has no problems, I’m here for \you!\ Stop trying to play pretend, this isn't working! .. But, if—if that's... what you want...

@hatethisshift you hardly know me! i’m not exactly about to show you all the ugly parts and how messed up i am-! it happened before, it’ll happen again-! just leave and let us both pretend this never happened and-! i’m still perfect pretty and sweet sugar!

@minwagesugar You—Nobody is trying to kick you away! And I’m not here to judge you for being upset. This is something \clearly\ hurting you mentally and now physically, why wont you *let* me help! That's what friends are for, Sugar!

@hatethisshift ugh- shut up-! it’s stupid and i’m not talking about it with someone i’m only *just* managing to become friends with-! i don’t need to be kicked away for my stupid mood swings and bullshit!

@minwagesugar ...Of course, I'm not trying to lecture you, it's concern. Is it wrong for one to be concerned about a friend? Oh, but if I go untold, I might start making assumptions. You'll have to say eventually Sugar. That \is\ why this mess happened isn't it? Holding it in?

@hatethisshift house is mostly cause of having people over… as for the rest… i don’t wanna talk about it. i didn’t ask for a lecture…

@minwagesugar Tsk. Tsk. If it led to this, then it matters. Any how, suppose you didn't clean up the shards from the mirror properly either. No point in fixing you up just to get hurt again. And this mess everywhere! ...Quite unlike you.

@hatethisshift ...it's stupid, no need to worry.

@minwagesugar I understand it hurts, and I’ll be as careful as I can. It is unwise to dismiss it as “nothing to worry about.” \You\ are avoiding my question, Sugar. I know it was from that mirror over there. \Why\ is the question.

@hatethisshift ow-! i- ...it's fine. just broke a mirror, nothing to worry about. even if it... hurts like a bitch.

@minwagesugar .. Hold still for a moment. This may sting slightly. You don’t have to tell me everything, but, something led to this. If you’re comfortable sharing, I’m listening. Normally one wouldn't get this much class stuck in them on accident.

@hatethisshift ...no, i'm alone- shadow isn't back yet... w-why do you ask?

@minwagesugar Tch. I’m not being dramatic, come on. Sit down, I’m not asking. Ah, I see... that's where the glass fragments came from... We’ll handle your hand first. Oh one more thing—is Shadow Milk here yet? I ask because... hm, well that's irrelevant. ...Or are you here alone?

@hatethisshift you're being dramatic... but- fine...

@minwagesugar …This is not “fine.” There are still fragments here. You should have treated this properly before doing anything else. Hmph, let me inside.

@hatethisshift fount it- it's fine-

@minwagesugar I'm not asking for you to apologize, I'm asking to see. Now, let's see...

@hatethisshift why- ...shit- i meant to- bandage that before anyone... it's ok- i'm sorry-

@minwagesugar Taking a day off doesn’t usually involve that kind of reaction at the door. .. Hm. Your hands. Let me see.

@hatethisshift ...i'm- fine... why are you here really? i just took a day off work i- it's nothing major-

@minwagesugar It’s alright, really! I’m fine, just a bit winded. Please don’t worry about me. Now! I came to check on you, not the other way around. I've heard a few things, answer me this, are you alright?

@hatethisshift f-fount..? oh witches i-! i'm so sorry i-! i though i- the door so- you entering i just... i'm so sorry- are you ok??

@minwagesugar ACK—! You—Sugar, it's me! I’m—alright. Perhaps... perhaps I should have made myself known clearer... agh. Ahem... I only came to check on you. Are you… okay?

@hatethisshift aH-! * and… swinging the bat, not having checked- *

@minwagesugar Ahehe I agree... it feels so, Ah—! W-wait— Sugar! Ahah, put me down!

@hatethisshift i can’t either- it’s so lovely though to spend time together- i could just… ah! it’s so nice to just have a freeing moment!! c’mere!! * lifting up and spinning fount! *

I trust your judgment. #cookierunkingdom

@minwagesugar It is isn’t it? I suppose it hasn’t changed much from any other night but, perhaps it’s easier to notice when there isn’t the thought of work waiting just behind it. ...Still can't believe I had left so early, ahah

@hatethisshift i’m glad you do! oh- look at how pretty the sky is…
