This is just something I felt like doing for some reason.
On I go...
It's What's Expected
I, Eugene Skullovitch- better known as Skull- have been known as the bully, the clown and the obnoxious idiot for as long as I can remember. "Eugene" stopped existing when I met Farcus "Bulk" Bulkmeir. Skull was born and he happily allowed Bulk to lead him around by the nose. I don't think I'll ever really know why.
Whenever we annoyed or taunted others, a part of me always felt like I was watching myself be this dumbass. But I always ignored that part. I knew what it meant, though. (I'm not a complete idiot). It meant that Eugene hadn't totally faded. It irritated and relieved me at the same time. But, during my Eugene moments, I'd look at Bulk through different eyes. While Skull saw his best friend, Eugene saw a guy that was obviously not happy with himself at all.
Eugene saw flashes of Farcus. A guy with low self-esteem and insecurities and all that. A guy who hid that with obnoxiousness. Skull would reappear and push Eugene back as far as possible when the urge to really help Bulk began surfacing.
Skull. He's not just a moron. He's weak. So is Bulk. But the two need each other. In their minds, they actually strengthen each other. Eugene would never need Bulk. Hell, he'd never have anything to do with Bulk. Farcus is a different story- maybe. I'll probably never find out.
But, you know, I'm going to continue to be Skull. It's what I've mostly been used to all these years. I'm Skull. I'm Skull. But, Eugene isn't gone for good. He hasn't made any "appearances" lately, though. It's probably because he understands that I have to be Skull. That, in a way, I need to be Skull- as crazy as it sounds. He understands that... it's what's expected.
But, he'll be back. He'll reclaim me. He'll return with a vengeance and "Skull" will die a quiet death when the time is right. Eugene will know exactly when that time is.
