42
The next morning (around 3:30) I woke up and and went downstairs. Token was already awake and making something for breakfast.
He turned when he heard me sit down at the table, "Good morning, Tweek."
I nod and wave slightly.
"Still not talking to me, huh?" He says pouring batter to make pancakes. "That's okay... just... you're okay, right?"
I nod.
He sighs a sort of breath of relief and I feel tense. I wonder if Clyde's still here...
"Clyde's upstairs sleeping still," Token says, as if he read my mind. I feel myself shiver at the thought of him being able to read my mind. What if he could? What if he has mind control- "I don't know how much longer he'll be asleep, if you want to talk to him."
I look down at my hands underneath the table. I scratch aimlessly at my wrist, feeling the scarred and dry skin scrap against my dull nails.
"You really shouldn't do that," Token says, not even glancing my way.
He really can read my mind...
"Doesn't that hurt?" I don't answer. "I worry about you, sometimes. You seem so closed off and..." he takes a deep breath, "Clyde said you were acting weird a while ago, and I just want you to know that I'm here for you. So is Clyde. Whatever you need. Whenever."
I feel tears drip down my cheeks, but I don't wipe at them. My nails scratch harder and slower and I feel warmth gush around my nail and wrist.
Token looks over at me, and he clicks the slice off sitting at the table across from me, "Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"
I shake my head and start to wipe at my tears with my sleeve.
"Tweek, are you sure you're okay? I'd feel terrible if you're hurting and I'm not able to help you-"
"T-Token," I interrupt quietly, chuckling a little, "You're t-too good f-for this wo-world sometimes."
Token laughs. It's a nice laugh that I don't get to hear often with how serious he always is, "I appreciate that you think so, but I'm not."
"Do you want some pancakes?"
I nod and he gets back up to continue making some.
"T-Token?"
"Hm?"
"I'll ne-need your help w-with something later..."
Token shoots a sideways glance at me, "Sure."
