@c. mitchel well anyone who leaves you out in the cold is a fool- I'll always be here for you, remember that. Lucy and I will always be here for you, I know that much. You don't have to repay us, babe. It's nothing you have to repay, we're just as genuine as it gets.
chuckles softly, trying to lighten the mood and gives your cheeks a light pinch
who knew the tin man was hurting so bad.. thank you for telling me, mitch. it's safe with me, you're safe now. don't worry about him.
carefully pulls you in for a hug, hoping it might make you feel better.

@y. minnie I could feel my soul relax at the soothing motions of your thumbs against the apples of my cheeks, allowing my oen eyes to close ad i took the moment to take in all the words you were telling me. I wanted to believe them and a small part of me did- but being on the run for so long and getting where to where i am today without anyone really made me have my doubts. All i could do was nod in response, thinking for a long heartbeat before finally speaking.
I- i appreciate those words, minnie. I really do. After my original roommate left without a word, i thought i was completely alone once again. I trusted him since he was the only real friend i had.. and when i found myself without him. I didn't know if i could trust again. But you've shown me nothing less of friendship ever since we met and i want to thank you for that. For seeing the fragile man behind the front i put up for myself. You and Lucy are two of the closest people i have in my life ever since i was a kid- i dunno how i could ever repay you both.

[ coz like wholesome angst is good too haha ]

[ *so ]

[ this is go angsty yet wholesome ]

lets out a soft hum and soothes your cheeks gently with my thumbs, nodding gently
well then let's start with friends. you have me and if there's anything I can promise you, is that I won't leave you. take your time, you don't have to trust me fully but what you just told me, I'll keep that with me-- i might be a little pest sometimes but its because I probably don't have family with me here either. my mom told me to run while i still can and I don't even know if they're still alive because my dad's a monster- so believe me when I say that you can trust me.
sighs softly and closes my eyes for a bit, nodding slowly this time
I understand, you don't have to know that now but just know that you don't have to rush that either.

[ lol ok then hahah ]

[ honestly just reply with what you want to reply with- i ain't picky tbh and will play along with it sjdjsndje ]

[ i get it haha wait so outside the plot-- they're just like friends here right? ]

[ it was gonna start bothering me if i didn't wkdnekf ]

[ you didn't have to but thanks haha ]

[ there i just fixed it ]

Blinks as you cup my cheeks, forcing myself to stare back at you while you spoke. After you were finished speaking, a simple shrugged a shoulder.
I've never really had friends nor could i keep them if i had them- same with a relationship. This is why i run away from people and things so quickly.. It's hard for me to trust anyone. I dunno what i need, honestly

[ oh ok :) ]

[ hold on ]

[ haha it's all good :P ]

[ my typos are in awful wtf]

sits on the chair opposite my bag as I watch you turning away, nodding slowly as I listen.
and yet, I'm still here. I'm a mess too, mitch. you have my support, you will always have my support. you're allowed to have friends now plus you have luce and I.
walks up to you and gently cups your face in my hands, looks you in the eyes
what do you need mitch? what do you want to happen?

Sighs out before shaking my head, turning away before rubbing my face.
That's not all- i ran away from home when i was 16. I didn't know what i was doing or where i was going but i had no choice. I could be dead by now if i hadn't done what i did. I didn't any friends, i wasn't allowed to- but a few good people let me crash on their couches for a bit until i could earn some money to go some place new. But while trying to do that i fell into using drugs and drinking- i let myself slip into a habit i couldn't control. Now look at me- I'm an addict and i did bad to good people. I'm a mess, minnie. I tried to warn you i was a mess.

stares at you for a bit as i listen, taking your story in; nodding a bit when you've finished
oh mitch..
carefully holds one of your hands and soothes your knuckles with my thumb
thank you for telling me and I want to let you know that you're ok. he's not here, you're safe.

Well you're probably gonna need all day, honestly. Well, when i was a kid, around 10 or so, my parents split. My mother stayed in Australia and my father i moved to Brooklyn New York. My father didn't like the fact that he was stuck with me, his own kid. My father turned abusive- he would often get drunk and beat me just because he was upset over the divorce ruling. He was with a kid he didn't even want. I was 10, i couldn't do anything or get help. Once night, when he was drunk, he hit me over the head with a mirror.. that's why there's a scar of my forehead right against the hairline. He threatened me and told me not to tell anyone. And i didn't. I spent 3 months in the hospital and the doctors believed i tripped and hit my head on the side of the table-

yea dude. i got all day- sleep over if i need to

Ah.. well, where to start- i guess from the beginning?

our best friends gin, whisky and beer
but you first. what's up?

What's in the bag-?
I ask curiously as i advert my attention to it.

hey, you ok? you ran off in a hurry there- couldn't catch up
looks at you before I set my bag down on the chair

Hears the knock at the door before getting up and heading over, turning the knob before opening.
Hey- come on in.
Steps aside to let you in.

it's minnie- open up

knocks on your apartment door, while i wait patiently for any of you to open it
