*wheeze* I can’t even go check lmao

Ah yes. Mmkay. So your response is next I think-?

Alrighty

Yup.

Ebony: *mildly hurt but doesn’t show it and completely understands* I know I know.. I’m sorry In advance that I’m an inconsiderate asshole..

Ebony: *he sighs* You know what.. I.. if.. if you’d like I can see what I can do to get you two back together...... *his voice is oddly hollow*

Ebony: you sure..?

Ebony: Alright, alright.. *he sighs* Bartender: You two guys want a refill? On the house.

Ebony: *he shakes his head* Bartender: *she refills Hjs glass* there you go.

Bartender: no problem. Ebony: *about to say something, pauses, and just stays silent*

Ebony: *internally facepalms* Yeaahh.. that’s not gonna be fun for you in the morning..

Ebony: *soft muttering*

Ebony: *he sighs and puts an arm around him, gently rubbing his back/shoulder*

Ebony: *just.. tries his best to comfort him*

Ebony: *he sighs and gets up and pulls Jack to his feet and puts an arm around him and teleports to an unfamiliar bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed with him* Just.. just let it all out buddy.. *hes not good at this-*

Ebony: I’m sorry okay.. I just- *he looks defeated and sighs* Nevermind. I’ll just leave you to whatever the hell it is you do.. *he stands*

Ebony: *he goes to leaves the room and stops* Don’t be stupid okay.. I’ll be across the hall if you need me.. *he whisper something then leaves*

Ebony: *he just sits in the room across the hall Which. Is just a literal armory.*

Ebony: *just.. Being a suicidal moron*

Ebony: *after an hour of being a masochist he goes to check on Jack*

Ebony: *he sighs quietly and gently dries the tear streaks off Hjs face and pulls the blankets over him then turns off the lights and heads downstairs to sleep on the couch*

Ebony: *lays wide awake on the couch all night* ((Timeskip-?))

~morning I suppose~ Ebony: *he gets up and heads upstairs and simply sits in the hallway near the room Hjs in*

Ebony: *he slowly starts drifting off in the hall but jerks awake before he does*

Ebony: *he gets up and knocks on the doorframe and opens it a bit* Morning..

Ebony: how’re you feelin..?

Ebony: Mm.. as expected, I told you not to chug that.. *he sighs and walks in, looking tired-* Well, you hungry..?

Ebony: Alrighty then. If your sure. *he leans against the wall, he honestly doesn’t look too good but that’s.. kinda normal for Ebony..*

Ebony: *he walks over and sits next to him* Anything you’d like to do today..?

Ebony: We can do absolutely anything.

Ebony: *he sighs* alrighty.. well, uh..

Ebony: Well you cant die. I won’t allow it. *he half snaps then sighs*

Ebony: *he facepalms and sighs* Well. If you want death so badly I’ll just give him a call. *is he being sarcastic or serious? It’s impossible to tell.*

Ebony: *he gets up and leaves the room*

Ebony: *he comes back with a glass of water and hands it to Hj* There. This should help..

Ebony: Course..

Ebony: *hes just standing there silent*

Ebony: *he sighs and sits next to Hj*

Ebony: *shakes his head* Nothin. ((That- was an accident lmao))

*wheeze*)) Ebony: *he puts hand on Jacks shoulder, basically putting his arm around him-* .......

Ebony: *his arm quickly moves away and he set his hands in his(ebonys) lap* sorry- I’m just- I don’t know.. I just don’t like seeing you so..... sad.

Ebony: Hhhrg emotions suck sometimes..

Ebony: Huh? *he looks over*

Ebony: *he nods quietly then lays down and just stares at the ceiling* Jack..?

Ebony: This is gonna sound stupid but have you ever fallen in love with your best friend..?

Ebony: It’s just... difficult.. *his voice is soft* on one hand.. you really want to tell them cause they might feel the same.. but on the other... maybe they don’t.. and that could ruin your friendship...

Ebony: *he inhales sharply and sits up* good lord. This went from helping you to me ranting about my personal conflict.. sorry about that.. I’m just- Arg..

Ebony: You sure-?

Ebony: heh. Alrighty. *oddly enough he seems to be in a better mood*

Ebony: *he smirks evilly*

Ebony: I just had the worst but most amazing idea.

Ebony: Since as far as I’ve seen causing others pain tends to put you in a better mood- Wanna go wreck some peoples lives-?

Ebony: Ah.. Mmkay. Well uh... what do you want to do..?

Ebony: whine whine whine. *he mimicked jacks voice as he says that then returns to his normal voice* welp. I know I already asked but you hungry?

Ebony: Ah.. well.. just water for now then..?

Ebony: *he gets up and pauses* ack-

Ebony: *he just stands there for a bit* Stood up a bit too fast- *awkward laugh*

Ebony: Imma get you some more water, you need it.. *he heads out and walks downstairs few steps and just kinda well.. falls-*

Ebony: *hes just at the base of the stairs, on the ground, breathing heavily as he sits up* h-Hh..

Ebony: Y-yeah, just.. just dizzy... *he gives him a thankful smile*

Ebony: *he nods* I know I know.. I don’t know why that h-.. welll.. actually..

Ebony: Ah whatever, that’s not important. *he smiles faintly* Anywho, I’ll try to be more careful.

Ebony: Pfft. You worry too much..

Ebony: but.. it’s somethin I appreciate about you

Ebony: Mmhm. To be perfectly honest it’s o- *he pauses* Uh.. nope.. I’m Not gonna say that..not the right time..

Ebony: *he hugs Hj outta nowhere*

Ebony: *he smiles faintly* (*when you remember how unnaturally thin ebony is and you quietly ask yourself how no one has noticed it before Then you remember you never mention it and wheeze*))

Ebony: *he blushes a bit and huffs* darn. Like I’m serious. He’s 23 and weighs like 88 pounds. It’s not good.))

Ebony: Your make it too difficult.. but so easy too.. Oh wow, Skinny boy club lmao))

Ebony: Hhhhaarrrg-!! *he slaps himself and pauses* Oops.. You know what’s really weird though-))

Ebony: I don’t know what I’m doing anymore sorry. Ebony hasn’t eaten in two months and he’s mostly okay- it’s weird.))

Ebony: *he lets go of Hj then goes to head to the Kitchen and stumbles and leans against the wall* Darn. Yup. That’s kinda what’s goin on here- hunger.))

Ebony: y-yeah.. yeah.. just.. really dizzy.. *he slides down the wall and sit on the floor* my lord, I don’t feel well eheh.. Yup.))

Ebony: I hope not. That’d really suck.

Ebony: *the sad thing is he actually has to think about this* uhm..

Ebony: No no no- you don’t have to okay..? I’ll be fine in a little bit..

Ebony: Jack- I’ll be fine. It’s no big deal..

Ebony: I.. I’m never sure of that, I.. fine. Fine. Just- arrrg.. I can’t just- I- dammit.. fine. Just be careful.. Eddie doesn’t like people messing up the kitchen.. *he tries to stand but well, his legs don’t wanna work*

Ebony: *he blushes* did he just.. *he smiles and just leans against the wall, happy, Like. HAPPY. Happy.*

Ebony: *he ends up standing and stumbling into the other room only to actually fall onto the couch* SH- *some random guy, walks up from the basement and gives Hj an odd look*

Guy: Who the hell are you-??

Guy: God.. he never tells me anything. *he holds out his hand* Names Eddie Blackmane.

Eddie: So Whatcha doin?..

Eddie: Huh, so the hungers finally getting to him.. it’s nice to know he’s got someone looking after him, he’d probably get himself killed if someone didn’t watch him every now and then.

Eddie: Welp. Don’t let me distract you. I’m gonna make sure he’s not being too much of an idiot.

Eddie: *walks into the living room* oh damn. Ebony: *honestly curled up on the couch, fast asleep*

Eddie: *notices Hjs done with food stuff and leaves the house* Ebony: *hes just fast asleep, smiling the smallest bit*

Ebony: *he jerks awake just at the sound of Hjs voice and sits up, mildly groggy* hm?.. no..?

Ebony: *he smiles faintly* it’s alright.. *he sets the plate on his lap and chuckles* This.. honestly doesn’t look half bad. *he pats the cushion next to him* now sit- please.

Ebony: *he leans against him and starts eating*

Ebony: Mmhm. *he honestly finishes faster then probably expected*

Ebony: You can cook much better then I can. *soft chuckle*

Ebony: *hes just leaning against Hj, a faint smile on his face* mmm..

Ebony: *a faint blush appears on his cheeks/face and his smile becomes a bit wider and he closes his eyes*

Ebony: ...Jack..?

Ebony: Is.. is it wrong that I- *he pauses and shakes his head sadly*

Ebony: It’s nothing, it’s nothing... i just- I’ll tell you some other day.. I promise..

Ebony: aarrg.. *blushing being* why do you keep doing that-??

Ebony: Mm.. w-well.. I.. *he inhales slowly then gives Jack a quick little kiss on the cheek* Hmph..

Ebony: *he rolls his eyes and crosses his arms and winces ever so slightly* Ow- what the hell-...

Ebony: Hrr. I don’t know what’s happening to me..

Ebony: I just- *he face palms* nevermind. Don’t want you worrying- I just- jrjabdbdnndbebwhauuh. *then he whispers something along the lines of ‘like you-‘*

Ebony: *just mutters incoherent nonsense to cover up his random confession*

Ebony: *just rambling random words*

Ebony: Yyyes-?

Ebony: Mmmmmm Imma go stab Eddie-

Ebony: Make me. *he gets up and starts walking to the door-*

Ebony: *he looks unimpressed* Jack. put me down.

Ebony: Jack. put. me down.

Ebony: Stabbing Eddie isn't stupid.

Ebony: Thank you. *he pauses* You wanna see why stabbing Eddie ain't stupid?- its cool honestly-

Ebony: *he pauses and steals a knife from the kitchen and goes to cut his finger open then Eddie appears* Eddie: excuse me. there's a room of knives and such upstairs don- Ebony: *stabs Eddie in the gut but the knife literally snaps instead of going in-* Tada. Eddie: You little shit-

Ebony: Yeh. Eddies weird ready- *he grabs Eddie arm, which, currently looks like a normal arm and goes to cut it- but Eddies arm just kinda.. morphs into a metal one as the broken blade makes contact.* Eddie: You know i'm gonna kill you for this later right? Ebony: You never do so no.

Ebony: Shoo. Eddie: *flips Ebony off and leaves*

Ebony: *he turns to face Hj again* ....

Ebony: Mmmhm. He can turn his whole body into any material.. its odd. but good for training purposes.

Ebony: Yup. *he smiles faintly* The entire Blackmane family is very interesting.

Ebony: Anywho.. whatcha wanna do?..

Ebony: The only things i can think of are stupid so, not really.

Ebony: *he pauses and thinks for a bit* oh yeah. that's why i was originally coming downstairs.

Ebony: water.

Ebony: W- no- i- *he laughs*

Ebony: I was gettin it for you *he just laughs*

Ebony: But i wanted to.

Ebony: jdfhvfic fine.

Ebony: ACK- *he looks annoyed than embarrassed* your the only one I'll let get away with that-

Ebony: I swear to god if i didn't like you i'd cut your fingers off if you ever did that again.

Ebony: Its fine, i'm just- hair- not. I- Arrg *he tries to explain himself but can't*

Ebony: *mildly disappointed-* thats- thats not- I-

Ebony: *gibberish*

Ebony: Hhrr.. Everythings so complicated-

Ebony: *he just makes odd hand gestures- which actually do mean something- but idk if Hj knows sign language-*

Ebony: Oh thank god.

Ebony: am i even a person? *he smiles*

Ebony: *he laughs softly* Am I even real? Thats the real question. *he pauses* Oh geez. that's a mildly scary thought- what if your just.. some figment of someone else's imagination.. and you'll just cease to exist once they forget about you and they just.. kill you off whenever they feel like it..

Ebony: *he looks mildly disturbed* My god.. that.. that'd be so weird. But highly unlikely so.. meh.

Ebony: Oh geez.. imagine if it is true.. and they've just got our whole lives planned out and we don't even know that we don't have a choice whether we do those things or not.. AAH- I'VE GOTTA STOP THINKING LIKE THIS- *possible mild mental breakdown incoming- because he's just- well. Ebony*

Ebony: Oh my god.. I don't have an actual personality... what- i.. i can't even.. my life is a lie. an actual lie. Eddie: *walks in* What the hell is going on here?..

Eddie: Again? Geez. Dont listen to a word he says, Whenever he starts rambling like this its usually cause he's lost too much blood or he's over tired. Ebony: THAts ExActLy WHAT thEy WAnT US tO tHINk!

Eddie: He usually does.. but look. *gestures to the blood literally soaking Ebonys leg* Ebony: AAH. THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE-

Ebony: I KNEW IT- I k-kn.. knew it. *he blinks a few times* this.. this is... oh m.. Eddie: You'd be surprised how often this happens.. he starts rambling about some weird beings controlling our lives and then just starts bleeding randomly... Maybe he's right..

Ebony: Hfhcn.. *he closes his eyes* tiredd.. Eddie: *he shrugs* Or he could be insane and have some short term memory loss.

Ebony: *he just sits there, watching Jack with a tiny smile on his face* hehe.. Eddie: Mmhm, that's honestly the most reasonable explanation...

Ebony: *Just mumbling to himself* Eddie: And as you can see, Ebony and blood loss get along just as well as Ebony and alcohol. which since a few weeks ago has been pretty well.. wonder what happened... *he shrugs and walks off*

Ebony: I feel weird-..

Ebony: Oh.. *he yawns the smallest bit* hhndc..

Ebony: *He blinks and blushes the tinest little bit* Mm..

Ebony: *he half clings to him and huffs* no..

Ebony: vhdiuvchrf.

Ebony: *basically hugging him tight, not wanting to sleep but needs sleep*

Ebony: hhn..

Ebony: Cause..

Ebony: *he sighs and lets go*

Ebony: *he looks appologetic and mildly guilty* ...sorry- sorry. I don't know whats going on with me... I just... *he thinks for a long while then gets up* I just.. need to take a walk real quick.. clear my head..

Ebony: I'm never careful.. but i'll try. *he smiles faintly and limps outta the room, pauses, and disappears*

Ebony: *he actually just takes a walk- it hurts his leg more- but takes a walk*

Luke: *walking through the forest near Hj- cause why tf not*

Luke: *he walks over to Hj outta nowhere* Oh- you again-

Luke: What're you doin? *glances curiously at the rope*

Luke: Ah. your bored then. *short pause* Wheres your coward of a friend-?

Luke: Eh. your no help then.

Luke: *goes to find Ebony*

Ebony: *hes just under a tree, leaning against the trunk, eyes closed*

Ebony: *he doesn’t seem to notice jack’s there and just sits there in silence*

Ebony: *he opens one eye and looks at Jack* Hm? Oh hello.

Ebony: Whatcha up to?

Ebony: Ah. *he sneezes randomly* wh- Huh.

Ebony: Well.. whatcha wanna do..?

Ebony: Mm.. I dunno

Ebony: *was about to say something but doesnt*

Ebony: Arrrg. You wanna just take a walk and chat?

Ebony: *he gets up shakily* oW. My leg fell asleep- *he laughs softly€

Ebony: *he kicks the tree* ACK- PiNs and NeeDleS

Ebony: wHy am I sO pRonE to HrTinG mYseLf-?!

Ebony: THE UNIVERSE HATES ME- But I hate myself more. *he snickers softly*

Ebony: That tree hates me- and that’s one and that one and that kid and that tree that tree- That and that and that- *hes just spinning in a circle pointing at random things then points at Hj* You- you hate me sometimes but not all the time-

Ebony: *he pauses* Huh. Really? Wow. Your the one thing in the universe that never hated me..

Ebony: Heh. But wait.. what do you feel about me if you don’t hate me-?

Ebony: Huh... this is stupid question of the day #5 but.. in what way..? I’m sorry I’m just- Hdnsnchjshahch

Ebony: I- sorry.. let’s just- go for that walk now I guess..

Ebony: *overly nervous/flustered as he starts walking*

Ebony: You can walk next to me you know.. not that I mind I- Arrrrg

Ebony: *self directed annoyance* mmncnanhdhchhshahg...

Ebony: Yup. Perfectly fine. Just.. hating myself ya know.

Ebony: YuP

Ebony: ahahaha

Ebony: *self annoyance becomes self anger* Hrr.. well.. anything you wanna talk about..?

Ebony: haarrg.. *self anger becomes self hatred*

Ebony: *he freezes, confused then hugs him back* J-Jack..?

Ebony: Why’re you..?

Ebony: *hugs him tighter and just rests his head on his Should- Wait. Ebonys too short for that uh.. Chest-?*

Ebony: hey jack.. can.. can I get some advice about something..

Ebony: Well.. so I got this.. not so little crush on this.. guy. And I don’t really know how to tell him how I feel.. cause well.. I’m scared I’ll mess it all up... what.. what do you think I should do..?

Ebony: what if they know it’s not..

Ebony: They might..

Ebony: *he chuckles sadly* The unfortunate thing is I asked him for advice and he said the exact same thing you did.. so he’d know..

Ebony: Well.. I can try it I guess.. I’ll just have to wait till he doesn’t remember telling me that. *he lets go, his self hatred has increased ten fold*

Ebony: Well.. I don’t know if it’s romantic affection, friendly affection or.. almost brotherly affection... but yes

Ebony: You’d be surprised.. but alright.. I- I’ll tell him... tomorrow.

Ebony: *his self hatred is very intense right now- And so is his fear..* W-welp.. uhm.. you wanna keep walking..?

Ebony: *he hesitates then starts walking again*

Ebony: *slows quite a bit to walk next to him*

Ebony: s-so.. what?

Ebony: *he looks down* Absolutely horrible.. I feel like a major piece of garbage. But I am one so that’s no surprises

Ebony: no no it’s all fine. Feeling like trash is better then wanting to die. *he smiles faintly* I’m just mostly nervous..

Ebony: good god.. I’m sorryyyy.. I just- Aaaaaaaah- I need to just.. scream at a wall. It’s just- Why am I talking about myself... oh whatever. Whatcha wanna talk about..?

Ebony: mm.. uh.. this is a random question but what’s your favorite color?

Ebony: Blue? Wow. I didn’t expect that. But blue is a pretty color.

Ebony: Hmm.. what shade of blue?

Ebony: *soft chuckle* Hmm. You wanna see somethin cool.?

Ebony: *he stops walking and closes his eyes for a bit, then turns to face Hj and opens them again, and now his eyes are a pretty shade of electric/neon blue* tada-

Ebony: *he smiles faintly* Heh

Ebony: *he blushes the smallest bit* thanks.. I can make em other colors too- even mixes of colors. Just.. name a color. Any color at all.

Ebony: *he closes his eyes and opens them and there a striking line green* heh. Yup!

Ebony: *he smiles quietly then thinks for a bit* I can also mimic other people’s eyes.. this is really the only amazing thing about me. *quiet chuckle*

Ebony: Hmm. *he closes his eyes then opens them and there EXACT replicas of Hjs-* heh.. see?

Ebony: *soft chuckle* I can even do it with people I’ve never met.. uhm.. name some random person you know but I don’t-

Ebony: hm.. *he closes his eyes and thinks for a bit and when he opens them.. there Twisters exact eyes* did I get it-?

Ebony: *he winces a bit and blinks and his eyes are back to the blue violet color they normally are* eheh.

Ebony: t-thanks.. *he blushes ever so faintly*

Ebony: *self confidence: 62%* Mm.. you know what.. I might tell him tonight instead of tomorrow, just cause you’ve honestly made me feel so much better about myself.

Ebony: heh. *he looks honestly really happy, which is really rare to see in all honesty*

Ebony: heh. I like being happy..

Ebony: it’s so weird. But.. I like it.

Ebony: *he pokes Hjs arm* Anyways it’s gettin late. Wanna hear back to my place, yours, or the mansion?

Ebony: You gotta pick though.

Ebony: Alrighty. *he hugs him and they appear at Hjs place*

Ebony: Mmm. Well.. I dunno

Ebony: w-well.. j-Jack I Uh.... I uhm.. like... you.

Ebony: y-yeah.. I Uh... *he looks down, he... hes just waiting for rejection tbh*

Ebony: ! *he then puts his arms around Hjs neck and kisses back*

Ebony: I- I.. I wasn’t expecting that... *he.. he looks happy though*

Ebony: To be honest I Uh.. I was expecting more of a : “Uhm, I’m sorry I don’t feel the same way-“ or somethin.. I’m just.. prone to pessimism...
