[Trigger warning: self hatred, crying, wanting to die]

<Patton's POV>

We were watching Lion King and I thought I heard sniffles so I looked over at Virgil. Is he crying? His eyes are covered by his hair. Stop hiding your face, please. I noticed he was fidgeting with his hands, almost hiding them. Something isn't right. Please just talk to me for once. "Hey V?"
"Yeah?" He responded. I don't know what to say. What can I say? I can't just ask, 'what's wrong with you?' He's looking at me, waiting for me to say something, WHAT DO I SAY?!

Actions speak louder than words right? I got it!

I leaned over and hugged him, clearly not what he was expecting. At first he was tense, then slowly relaxed as I rubbed his back.

[Skip back in time about 2 minutes]

I can't take it

I can't do this

I can't 

I can't

I can't

Please just make it stop

Please.

Stop.

I can't take this

"Hey V?" I was snapped out of my thoughts for a second. "Yeah"

Why am I here? The only person who might actually care is Patton, just maybe.

I can't deal with this anymore

I can't take it 

Stop

Stop

Stop

Stop

Stop

I felt a warm mass on me, and I didn't process anything anymore. It's just Patton, calm down freak

I can't help but cry. I cry like a loser. I cried like I was dying. But you are dying, slowly, painfully, just do it already.

I can't breathe

Good.

<Patton's POV>

I let him cry, and I feel horrible. He's crying a lot, i mean A LOT. How didn't I notice this? Is he really that messed up? No not messed up, that's not right, I didn't notice he was that... I don't know the word for it.

I just try to comfort him, letting him cry into my shoulder. I rub his back and sides trying to calm him down.

<Virgil's POV>

Stop

Stop

Stop

Stop stop stop stop stop

I shut my eyes, trying to block out everything.

Nobody cares

Nobody

Absolutely nobody

No one could ever love you

Just die
