*Hey all you Inside Out fans, I found that this fandom is very lacking in Fear x Disgust fics, so I decided to write a story of my own to add to that collection. I hope you all enjoy.

Always Loved You
Chapter One: One Month Later
It had been over a month since the incident with the Emotions (particularly Anger) almost made Riley run away from her new home. It was evident that the twelve-year-old girl had missed her old home back in Minnesota, but now, she was able cope with her new environment.
One day however, something changed within the headquarters of Riley's mind…
"Alright, nice job everyone," Joy congratulated the emotions, "I told you staying up late studying for that math test would be worth it."
"Oh man," Anger groaned, "That test was the hardest one yet, but at least it's all over now!"
"Yeah, but just wait until the next one, when Riley has to deal with the surface area of three-dimensional shapes, oh I bet that will be a nightmare," Fear dreaded.
"Relax nerd," Disgust replied to the raw nerve, "That will be over a week or two from now. Let's just hope I can stand dissecting a fish during science class tomorrow. Egh, I just can't stand seeing the inside of those things."
"Well, what about you Sadness?" Joy asked, "What were your thoughts?"
"Oh…ugh…um I thought Riley was going to fail for sure, b-but now after seeing that the questions were actually a bit easy, I think Riley might actually ace the test, I-I guess that's good news."
"Good for you Sadness," Joy said to the blue emotion, patting her on the back, " I think your now starting to see the happier side of Riley's life for once."
"Yeah, I-I guess so," Sadness replied.
"Well, anyways, that's the last class today, should we just head home or stay behind and chat with some of Riley's friends before we leave?" Disgust asked Joy.
"Hmm, good question Disgust, I didn't really see any of Riley's friends today in any of her classes, so I'm getting they were sick. I guess we should just head home.
"Very well," Disgust said.
The walk home was silent, it seemed like nothing special would occur like always, because of this, the emotions just relax on the headquarters' couch until they were needed once more for their job at the control panel. All the emotions were silent, even Joy, but that changed when Fear decided to say something important to a certain green emotion sitting next to him, manicuring her nails.
"Uh, Disgust?"
"Yeah, what is it?" she asked.
"Ever since Riley's started adjusting to life in San Francisco, there's something I wanted to tell you."
"And what exactly is it you wanted to tell me?" Disgust asked, "Don't keep me waiting, I'm planning on going shopping in a little while."
"I just wanted to say, I-I always," just then Fear noticed that he also caught the eyes of the other three emotions, something that made him quite nervous as he only meant for his statement to be directed to only Disgust. "I-I always l-l-liii,"
"Oh come on, spit it out already," Disgust said, growing impatient.
"No no no, it's that I've… always… oh I can't do it!" Fear cried out, before sitting up and heading up to his bedroom in agony.
All the emotions looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what just happened to the purple emotion.
"What was all that about?" Anger complained.
"I really don't know," Joy answered, "Disgust, do you know why Fear cried out like that?"
Disgust just shrugged in defeat.
"I don't know Joy, I just don't know."
Disgust decided that it was time for her to catch the newly modified Train of Thought and head down to the new shopping center located in Imagination Land. She had been doing this every so often since the store opened shortly after Riley's incident, and in doing so. But this particular time left her with a very confused thought in her mind that she couldn't lay off of.
"What was it that Fear wanted to admit to me?" She wondered.
And, that's the first chapter, I tried my best to keep in character with all of the emotions, so if I made a mistake on their personalities, please don't scold me. Anyways, I hope to have a new chapter up not long from now, so I hope you like this introduction so far. What was Fear going to admit, you could leave your thoughts in the reviews. Until next time ;)
