(This could be considered canon for my fic "more than JUST brothers?.." it's upto you to decide.)

(I saw destinyunicorn123 announcement I decided to make this, lol. Sorry it's a bit late.
Pairing is Lou x Ox.)

(Hope you enjoy this little fic~😗)

"Dancing with your silhouette in the places that we met
Ooh, tryna find you in the moon
Paris never feels the same, when the streets all call your name
Ooh, so I hide in crowded rooms".

The first time the two meets, sparks fly. The blonde who's never known anything but the perfection his whole life meeting somedoll who knows nothing but imperfection.

So opposite, so territorial of different things.

"Lou."

"Ox."

A peaceful moment once they meet again, the first is iconic. Friendship bloomed like a flower, growing little by little until the petal no longer cover it.

Hands holding, gazes meet. Eyes stared lovingly in the other, emotions once held so tight releasing into the world, the world of fantasy.

Lou cups Ox's cheek, dolls nowhere to be seen. His curtains long since drawled to keep others out of sight, out of mind, out their souls. Affection and possessiveness as the other pins him down.

"You know I can't live without you, right?"

Neither knows who asks this.

"And I'll follow right down the river
Where the ocean meets the sky
To you, to you
And I'll follow right down the river
Where the ocean meets the sky
To you, to you
Once upon a time we had it all
Somewhere down the line we went and lost it
One brick at a time we watched it fall
I'm broken here tonight and darling, no one else can fix me"

Laughter.

A sound pure joy echoing through the usually devoid place of life, two dolls sharing a pleasant moment of a more miserable life.

Both have flaws. Both have strengths.

"Geez..." Lou's eyes are closed, knowing his place in the world, taking comfort in something so close. Or someone so close. "I didn't know dolls, uglydolls were this polite, Ox. I can sense your different."

The other's one eye, the one that isn't shaped in the size of an X is happy. Lou actually makes someone happy, even if he has nothing to offer in return.

Ox feels happy. Since he arrived, no dolls ever look at him with the same feeling the leader has. Isolation seems him unworthy of praise and attention.

Training doesn't help either. Others swiftly turning away to never help him, leave him in the dust.

Ox holds Lou's hands, the blanket swabbing them in its embrace to sleep for its claiming their minds into dreams, one of few safe places.

At least safe for the dolls anyway.

Nothing is ever safe for the duo.

"Would you leave me, Ox?"

"Never."

"Only you, only you
And no one else can fix me, only you
Only you, only you
And no one else can fix me, only you, oh
Only you"

Ox is never there when he's suppose to be.

He promises to never leave Lou, but he never promises moments of silence. Leaving Lou to rot, to his thoughts. Ones taking over everyday.

Take him away.

Leave him to rot.

Be perfect.

Get rid of the imperfection.

Lou rocks back and forth, clutches his knees in self-assurance. Tears leaking out tear ducts, sobs screaming, tearing out his throat.

"Ox.." Lou whispers. "Oxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
oxoxoxoxo xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo......"

Repeating the ones name able to make him sane. But he never comes, Lou never hears a sound. A promise is broken again after dolls promise to never leave their supposed friend.

He's just like the others.

Get rid of the imperfection.

"Did I let go of your hand for a castle made of sand
Ooh, that fell into the blue
I went following the sun to be alone with everyone
Ooh, looking 'round a crowded room"

Ox watches the leader's mental state over the years. Him being deprived of the once loads of affection he used to receive everyday.

He trains and strives to impress. To see affection, he wants Lou's attention on him at all times. Not on anybody who doesn't deserve it. The universe seems against his decision.

Lou's eyes glaze over in boredom, as if retreating into his mind. All Ox receives in return is a cold smile, one made of Stone.

"Hey, Lou!" Lou turns around with a raised brow, as Ox is just another doll. "What do you think of my training so far?"

"I think it's fine."

Ox's ears never raise, they droop. Lou pats his head and moved on. Looking happier when chatting to another doll.

What did the uglydoll do wrong?

Dolls look upon him in no less than satisfaction. Ox knows this, he isn't blind, he isn't dead.

They're glad their leader realised who's side he's on.

"And I'll follow right down the river
Where the ocean meets the sky
To you, to you
Once upon a time we had it all (we had it all) (mmm)
Somewhere down the line we went and lost it
(We went and lost it)
One brick at a time we watched it fall (fall)
I'm broken here tonight and darling no one else can fix me"

Night finally comes. Ox has Lou by his side again, the leader fast asleep and resting peacefully at his side.

He stroked the blonde's hair many times to know which specific areas calm Lou the most. All dolls can never steal him away, the illusion the two could be together resting at the edges of darkness.

"Why are you against me?"

He doesn't expect the following:

"Because you always leave."

"Only you, only you (yeah)
And no one else can fix me, only you (no one like you)
Only you, (nobody else), only you (oh)
And no one else can fix me, only you, (oh)
Only you"

Even if Lou is angry at the only one who understands, something he can never tolerate is on the lines of obsession.

And this sight isn't pleasing. Dolls gathering around Ox, teasing, mocking, bullying in his presence as news spreads of unlikely friendships.

"He will never truly like-"

"Hello." Lou's smooth voice rings. "Is something the matter? I heard commotion."

Anger. Rage.

Ox immediately retreats behind the leader. Lou's hands casually over his back, a smile placed upon his face. It isn't friendly.

"Bots?" Lou asks politely, pointing towards a doll named Ashton. "Please take him to the washer."

A command. Even as Ashton screams mercy, Lou will never grant it for those who dares prey upon those weaker than them.

His heart skips at the smile Ox gives.

"(Falling, falling, falling, yeah)
Only you, (only you), only you, (only you)
And no one else can fix me, only you (only you)
Only you, (only you), only you, (only you)
And no one else can fix me, only you"

They rest. Lou allows rest whenever Ox earns the right to be near him. A treasure as Lou nuzzled the bunny's soft fur.

Soft from his bath.

"I forgive you." Lou cooed, gingerly kissing Ox's tears when they fall. "You impressed me in training, I was just in a bad mood."

Liar.

Ox never tells he knows lies.

But he also never tells the truth.

"My leader." Ox mumbles into the hug, grasping Lou closer. Reality not settling until morning. "Mine."

"Yours." He agrees. "And those dolls will pay."

He's interrupted when lips settle upon his, Lou softly moaning in the kiss as Ox takes dominance. His facade falling, giving into the wants, his own desperation.

Lou grasps Ox as well. Dolls may need him, but they never become attached. He submits to control, mouths somehow destined to touch even if they have problems over and over again.

But Lou has wants as well to be fulfilled.

To feel wanted.

To never feel alone. And one thing causes this.

Only him.
