~|!Ruin!|~

*Ruin scowls.* I'm not attacking you, I'm just… disappointed. I thought I could trust you.

(Star): "what did I do?"

*Ruin's voice is full of sarcasm.* Oh, I don't know, maybe the fact that you self-harmed?

*The next morning, you wake up to the smell of breakfast. You hear him humming a song from Hamilton, and the smell of bacon and eggs fills your nose. You hear him call your name, but you don't answer. You stay in bed, not wanting to face him.*

*He squeezed you a little tighter, his face buried in your neck. He was trying to be as comfortable as he could be with you.* You know, you're not as cute as you used to be.

*Ruin raises an eyebrow.* And… you're saying this is normal?

(Star): "I've asked before, I'm asking again. what's a normal?"

(Star): "I haven't been alone in 40 years, Ru-Ru."

*Ruin froze. He hadn't heard that nickname in a while. It felt…nice, to hear it again.* …40 years?

(Star): *-he chuckles and adjusts the little patch over his eye.-* "mhm."

*Ruin raises an eyebrow.* You know, you're being very… off. What's with the patch?

(Star): "what about it?"
