Fear x Anger
Requested by Ericchris
Thank you for your request!


It was another day of hockey practice. Everyone knows that hockey can be pretty dangerous, especially when it comes to losing your teeth. And we all know that one emotion that is definitely concerned with that.

Fear was seen shaking with nervousness, watching with how aggressive Riley looked so far. Anger and Joy were controlling at the same time: Anger to make Riley look tough on the ice; Joy to make Riley have fun playing. The more those two emotions pressed buttons and levers, the more nervous Fear became. He liked that Riley is in a full "safety" uniform, with shoulder pads and a helmet, but all the time, while Riley plays hockey, all he worries about is her safety.

Sure, it's pretty typical of him, since it's his job to keep Riley safe. But even if Riley is the best player on her team, and has played since she was a child without any major injuries, he is constantly worrying about the dangers of ice hockey. And you can tell that it annoys Anger a lot. And when Anger is annoyed, it can lead to some beating up.

During hockey practice, Riley and her team played scrimmaged. Riley had the puck and she suddenly found one of her teammates coming at her. And he was coming fast. Fear panicked and found himself running to the controls, pressing every button he could reach.

Riley gasped and suddenly tripped onto the ice. Riley groaned as everyone kept on staring at her in bewilderment. They didn't expect Riley Andersen, the best player on the team, to trip and fall!

"Oh my God, we did not just do that," Disgust cried.

As usual, Anger was full of rage. "BEANPOLE!" he roared. "DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO STUPID?!"

Fear's only response was running away and hiding behind the sofa.

"YOU CAN AT LEAST ALLOW RILEY TO ENJOY SOME HOCKEY INSTEAD OF YOU MAKING HER LOOK LIKE A COWARD!" Anger continued. "NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID! EVERYONE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE JUDGING US FROM DOING SOME STUPID FALL!"

Anger has never yelled at Fear this much and it was starting to cross the line! Fear just continued covering himself while shaking. Anger was abut to yell at him again when suddenly, he thought he heard a sobbing sound. The purple emotions had tears coming out of his eyes as he looked at Anger with hurt in his eyes. He ran away from the red emotion to his room, shutting and locking the door.

Unexpectedly, Anger suddenly felt guilt stab him in the chest. Guilt? No! Anger's never guilty for Fear! It's probably just that he made him cry, which is something he rarely does ever. He didn't even beat him up and he still cried! The red emotion must've taken it too far.

"Anger?" Joy was standing behind him with a concerned look. "You really should apologize to him. I know you'll refuse, but you need to stop being so hard on him."

Anger didn't say anything. His only response was a nod while mumbling, "Yeah, I should."

...

I hate him, Fear thought to himself during his sob session. He's the worst emotion ever. Despite being a shy and cowardly one, he felt a hatred on Anger. Like he wanted to confront him. Or even fight him. Fear felt his hands clench into fists, but gave up instantly. He would never beat Anger in a fight. He did a last sniffle before he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Fear muttered loudly.

There was silence until he heard a deep voice saying, "It's me."

Anger?! Fear felt shocked but enraged at the same time.

"What do you want?" Fear asked with pure hate inside him.

"Let me in and I'll tell you," Anger told him.

Fear sighed and opened the door. "Are you gonna yell at me again?" he asked as he let Anger in.

Anger just shook his head and sat on the floor. He sighed as Fear sat on his bed.

"Look, I know this may sound surprising to you but...I'm sorry," Anger confessed.

"You're what?" Fear looked at Anger with puzzlement.

"I'm sorry, okay?!" Anger said loudly. "I really regret all of the times that I've beaten you up and yelled at you. You may not believe me but...I don't want to hurt you guys, including you, but my, well, anger makes it hard not to hurt you. I mean, we have nothing alike, except that we're the only guys in here, and I feel like you overreact a lot. But I really need to take it easy on you and I just wanted to say that...I'm really sorry about hurting you and...will you please forgive me?"

Fear just looked at Anger with his eyebrows raised. After processing everything that Anger told him, he felt something special inside him. "You...You apologized to me...?"

Anger didn't know what to say to that. "Uh...yeah?"

Anger felt himself being squeezed by skinny purple arms. "Thank you Anger! I forgive you!" Fear said happily as he gave him a big embrace.

"Thanks but...could you not hug me?" Anger said. "Please?" he added seconds later.

"Oh, sorry," Fear said, quickly releasing the hug.

Anger chuckled. "Don't worry about it." He patted Fear on the back. "I'm proud of ya, buddy."

Fear stared at Anger. Why was he being so nice all of sudden? This was like winning the lottery!

"Th-Thank you...!" Fear smiled, not even bothering to ask Anger the most unpopular word he'd call him: buddy.

Anger and Fear nodded at each other as they headed on to the console, ready for another day at work.
