I'd like to note that this is based off the format and likeness of "Now We Are Together" by Jade Pen (FMA) and perhaps "Grow Old With You" by lain-trigger01 (Naruto) and many other drabble based series out there.
RAPR Piece #4 :Hurt
"You don't even deserve to be a Tallest! Irk would be better off without you!" Harsh words and harsh glares.
This hurt, a little like betrayal, ate away at something. Something tentative, always held back, began to die.
Eyes were red like the anger they expressed, growing darker with each snarl. "Crying? Are you crying?", slim fingers clenched, "Tallest don't cry.'
Tears hurt. They sizzled and burned and were accompanied by sad sighs. Anger faltered.
"Just…can't you be a little more…serious?" Hopelessness, followed by regret.
Who's turn is it to be hurt now? Purple turned away, cheeks burning. But blisters and burns don't hurt quite as much as wounded hearts. "Can't I just be me?"
Guilt.
"Pur…that's not what I meant.."
Bitterness. Finely tailored robes snapped with the sudden turn. "Not what you meant," Purple pointed at Red, hands shaking. "So you didn't mean that I'm not good enough? You didn't mean that I shouldn't be Tallest?" Purple clad shoulders sagged, hand falling.
Shame. A kind of suffocation that wouldn't leave, no matter how many breathes were taken. "No, I didn't mean any of it." Desperation. "I was just angry. Don't…"
"Stop it , Red." Sadness. ""I'll..be in my room"
It would've been easier to listen to Purple stalk off, swearing angrily, but Red heard nothing except the quiet hum of life somewhere else.
Loneliness ,the worst one of all.
