"C'mon Anon don't tell me you're a light-weight" Fang ribbed at me as they winked, taking another swig >Fang wants to go? Let's fucking go I take a fresh can and position it over my mouth, poke into it with my pocket knife and then open the tab, then I chug like a motherfucker. As I finish the can I look up to see fang has a can in their hands as well as a firework, I see them chug it in two goes and burp and then light the firework a bit too close to the base, more than I'm comfortable with at least. I see it zip off with a 'FyooOOOM' as it goes for a bit and explodes on the sky a few seconds later Our night went on with us shit talking the Prom at school and the people there, giving ribbing each other about stupid shit and so on and so forth until... Fang looked pensive for a moment before their face turned into a grimace as they looked over towards me. "I just wish everything could go back to the way it was before all this bullshit" I nodded as I watched them grab another beer, I wanted to get drunk but not this early, maybe a bit later on? "You said it" I told them before I watched them take another sip from their drink "Y'doing okay? You look a bit drunk Anon" They asked as I shook my head, just because I was a bit tipsy didn't mean I was drunk, as I said; not yet. "Nah I ain't drunk yet, actually you might be drunker than I am!" I laughed as they tried to deny it but I saw them wobble a bit when they got up at the accusation, as they say back down I looked at them, just basking in the view before I continued where I left off before "It's all just a bunch of bullshit, prom, school, everything related to that place is shitty..." "I was doing well, I finally had actual friends and not some tards from threads who I'd cut contact with after a few days or a week or two, then Trish had to go and fuck it all up for me, I was actually enjoying my time for the first time in...ever and then boom, Volcano High became Rock Bottom two-point-oh shit was taken from me for doing basically fuck all" At this point I don't care if I'm spilling the spaghetti in my pockets, I just want to let these thoughts out with someone I genuinely value and someone who'll see my point "Fuck Trish and Fuck Naomi and whatever the fuck those two are involved with" I told Fang as my bitter thoughts just spilled out of my mouth. I saw them nod before responding "Yuh! Fuchk Naohmi!" Fang downs the rest of their can before grabbing another and starting to sip again, before I can tell them to slow down they turn to me "Fucckkk Naomi's stupi hic stupid plans n shit 'n her wantin' t' fix people" They get louder as they speak "You're getting wasted Fang, maybe slow down a bit? I've only drank like two and you keep stealing the ones I'm trying to drink" I watch as they laugh and deny the accusation "T'Fuck I am! 'f anything you're the one wh'ose drunnnnk!" They point a claw at me and laugh, well try to laugh because they keep hiccuping in the middle of their laughs and it keeps getting interrupted "I fuckin' hate Naomi so much! Who're you to fix people huh?!" She suddenly stops laughing and starts getting angry as I try to calm her down, muttering things as I try to get things under control but it's all for nothing as Fang just ignores everything and anything I say and they just spin in place getting progressively more angrier before stopping and pointing a claw at me again "Y'know Anon, I th hiccup ought you were a loser when I first saw ya' and I still think you are, hell you even misgendered me and kept mutterin' under yer' breath about my pronouns being for attention 'n stuff and I was like, hey this dude's a dipshit but at least he's a bit hot y'know?" Fang starts to rant as I just sit there watching them get even angrier than before, not saying anything. "I wus like, man this asshole is just like everyone in th' school, 'n I still think that cuz you keep misgendering me when you mutter and I hate it!" I just look at them And as I look up I my vision blackens out and then slowly comes back and a pain blossoms on my face, I shake my head as I try to regain my vision and understand what happened but while I was doing that Fang continues on their rant about me misgendering them "Yer' such an asshole y'know? I loved you but y'can't keep doing this t'me! I deserve better than some loser skinnie from Skin Row who keeps on forgetting to use my proper pronouns!" I finally regain my vision a bit as I see them start running away, as I try to call out I realise I can't for some reason, I choke up and start to cry by myself at the place where I thought we'd be the happiest, but man did their words hurt, they hurt so fucking much... After a minute or two, I sat up to regain my balance and I wiped my face as I looked down towards the hem of my shirt I saw red, not like metaphorically, like actual red, I'd started bleeding where Fang slashed me and then it hits me, I have both eyes open and can only see through one, I just shook my head and started to walk towards my apartment in Skin Row, not caring how much blood I was losing or how shitty I must've looked, I just wanted to go home and lock myself in my room and not come out ever again. I arrive at my apartment and grab one of the towels in the bathroom and some ice from the fridge as I combine both into a shitty makeshift bandage as I try to comprehend my thoughts and what happened, but that would come later because as I tried to think about everything that happened tonight I just fell backwards and hit the floor unconcious...
