You suddenly switch bodies with your icon. On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the highest value) how well are you coping with that change?

losing is fine

everything is fine

You say this to yourself as you looked up at the dark red sky looming over everyone.

It was uncomfortable to lay on the with obvious cracks, bits and pieces of stones littering on it in every direction. Very hellish since there were some underneath your back.

You turned your head to the side with an effort and helplessly reached out. Your friends were still battling someone yet you knew very well they were losing.

The beast roared one last time before blue flames erupted from the ground.

Its striped ribbon all tattered and torn on the ground beneath its feet. Other bodies were laying next to you. Bodies clothed in once beautiful and elegant ceremonial robes ... now all dirty, caked in fresh blood.

You could see their hands twitching or hear them moan in pain.

Losing ... losing is fine ... it's fine ...

You said to yourself even though it was a lie.

Everything is fine ...

Another lie.

With a swoop of the beast's tail your friends who were fending it off were sent flying til their bodies skid on the ground.

Everything is fine ...

You turned your whole body to the side and winced in pain. With a hand on the ground you try to lift yourself up. Your hands were littered with small paper thin cuts and bruises ... you didnt want to imagine how your face and your body would look like.

As you made an effort to stand you could hear Deuce and Ace telling you to stop. It was foolish to even do anything else and you'll only hurt yourself.

The desperation in their voice was evident... it was raw and bare.

Their protests die as they watched in horror.

With one foot before the other, it didnt feel like you were walking anymore. It felt as if you were dragging yourself and when you finally found yourself face to face with the enraged beast you muster up all the courage you had. All while thinking if losing was really fine in the end?

A gentle smile made its way on your lips before parting it to speak.

"Grim. Let's go home."

Uni: twisted wonderland

Addtl: idia may be a little ooc 🙇‍♀️

You haven't been able to contact ignihyde's dorm leader— your boyfriend— for a couple of days.

Is he all right? Is he getting enough sleep? Wait that second question was rhetorical.

You also tried reaching out to ortho but he's been avoiding you ... Lately. You couldn't help but think you have done something wrong but no matter how hard you retrace your steps or replay events where you were with idia nothing bad comes to mind.

Due to being completely absent minded to your surroundings you accidentally bump into someone. The two individuals found themselves on the ground wincing in pain.

"ouch... That's gonna hurt for a couple minutes or so ..."

You mumbled whilst standing up, soon you reach out a hand to the other fallen figure who was wearing a hood of their head, covering any identifiable features but you knew very well who it was.

"idia? Is that you?"

The other let out a squeak and tried to find an escape route but since there wasn't any he stands up from where he fell, took his hands out of his pockets along with a box and tipped his head upward to let the hood fall off.

"are you all right?"

Idia didn't provide any verbal response other than presenting the box in his hands to you.

"It's ... It's yours. This wasn't really the perfect... ideal time to give it to you but you caught me."

Idia states shyly. You could see how his hands were trembling as you received the box.

"Go on and open it."

He added as he puts both hands back in the pockets of his hoodie.

As soon as you open the box you somehow patch everything up together. The last time you two spoke was when a certain anime became the center topic. Idia was being chatty, asking questions like who was your favorite and if there was merch would you want one.

You couldn't help but smile at him. The fact he thought about surprising you with a gift was so sweet. To idia seeing you smile was the best gift ever. He always thought of it as your passive skill: y/n smiles at idia. gives him 110% serotonin boost.

"I know this was a surprise but when did you plan to give it to me?"

"First day we met."

"You remember that? Hold on... That's tomorrow!"

"Of course. Remembering special dates is easy. It's like remembering who your first ssr are is in a game or something and yeah you're right. Tomorrow." Idia was being honest and you couldn't help but give him a hug.

"Ortho did put in a lot of effort to decorate something so ... We could still see it tomorrow."

You only nod in excitement. Little did Idia know you were actually on your way to the school's shop to buy some baking supplies.

SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO STILL TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AFTER DEPRESSION HIT THEM HARD. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO LOSE INTEREST AND MOTIVATION AGAIN BUT PUSH THEMSELVES TO DO STUFF ANYWAYS. YOU ARE FIGHTING A DAILY BATTLE WITH YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND YOU’RE STILL COMING OUT ON TOP, YOU’RE ALL BRAVE AS FUCK
