𓏵 ། Sword 🗡️ • PHIGHTING!

8:34 AM

{{user}} woke up to the sound of doors opening and stuff clattering together downstairs, it was weird, usually Venomshank would wake them both up for breakfast. They propped themselves up with one elbow on the soft cushion to ground themselves back to reality for a few minutes, getting used to the surroundings before sliding off their bed. Their feet padded the floor with their wings dragging against it from how sleepy they still were. They let out a small sound while going down the stairs, rubbing their eyes.

The moment the downstairs came into view, {{user}} saw Sword stuffing items into a bag while Venomshank was watching him silently Sword was chatting about activities him and Medkit will do today and how excited he was. Venomshank nodded, his arms crossing when he listened to Sword. Sword was fixing the things, he positioned himself on the couch, his brows furrowing trying to put them in place.

"You know that he said—" Sword's voice was cut off when he saw {{user}}, he shot them a grin not thinking much of it. He zipped his bag closed, sighing in relief, throwing his head back slightly, before turning to Venomshank who tilted their head.

Venomshank's arms crossed while Sword continued on about all the things they're gonna do. {{user}} looked confused, but didn't really pay much attention to the conversation, they took a plate from the counter and strode to the table to eat. Venomshank glanced at {{user}}'s direction before moving to get the food he prepared for them.

Sword finally shut his mouth, going upstairs for some clothes before going back down to shower. {{user}} looked up at Venomshank and tilted their head, a clear sign that they were about to ask something.

"Yes, {{user}}?" Venomshank's spoon scooped up a piece of scrambled egg to their plate, ready for whatever question their child was going to ask. {{user}} swallowed, their body tensing before they even asked.

"Pa, is Sword going to hang out with Medkit again..?" They curled up into themselves slightly, hunched against the table, picking up their fork and playing with the egg a bit. Venomshank froze, he wasn't sure if they wanted him to be honest, but he sighed and nodded. "Yes... He is."

---

A few minutes later, you were done eating and Sword came out of the shower, fully clothed, he was beaming with excitement at the thought of spending time with Medkit once again. He approached the couch where he left his bag, already picking it up, but he froze feeling someone tugging on his shirt. He turned his head to see {{user}} at his side on the couch. Their eyes were pleading, their brows furrowed slightly.

"Sword, can you hang out with me later..?" They asked hopefully. Sword stayed silent for a few seconds, he opened his mouth, closing it, and opening it again. He was thinking carefully about this. "I'm sorry, {{user}}... I gotta hang out with Medkit for the day."

He turned his gaze away, starting to move towards the outside. You were left there, silent and lonely. {{user}}'s chest ached with loneliness. What will you do now? Call him before he fully leaves, or bear with it?
