I just want to draw wither wemmbu and how his outburst affects his surrounding. Whenever he is angry or feels any intense emotions. There'll be wither skulls appear beside him due to his heritage as a wither in my design. Hence, the wither skulls. It's also has its own pros and cons, pros; he looks cool, and egg found it entertaining overall. Cons; it puts wemmbu in a disadvatanges for being an open book with how expressive he is.
Eye mainly eats meat due to his instincts, so Vista has to shove veggies and fruits down his throat so that he still had a relatively balanced diet.
Eye is clicker trained. To do what exactly? Only Vista and Eye knows.
Eye has been conditioned to blow a kiss whenever he hears Vista saying bye as he heads out the door. One time he accidentally did that to someone else who just came to ask Vista a question about a trade deal...neither of them brought it up ever. That moment doesn't exist in their minds.
If Eye is being particularly annoying, Vista will initiate a makeout session, and get up and leave midway.
Another thing Vista does occasionally (very rarely) is tell Eye to beg for something he wants. A snack, kisses, cuddles, whatever.
"That's not how we ask, is it, puppy?" Vista smiled, tilting his head in a teasing manner.
All Eye wanted was a few headpats. Sure he was being maybe a little annoying about it, but still...
"...no..." Eye reluctantly looked down and slowly got on his knees, and looked up at Vista.
His pupils were dilated as hell, he was sure.
"Please? I'm sorry for being annoying earlier?" Eye inched closer to Vista, lightly pawing on Vista's pants. "Please, just a little bit of your affection?"
Vista's smile widened, a slight blush forming on his cheeks.
"Good boy." A hand was placed on Eye's head as his tail rapidly thumped against the floor.
Sometimes when Vista notices Eye has been slouched over for a while and has that shrimp posture, he'll tell him, "Time for a big puppy stretch." which works everytime on Eye
Vista will occasionally catch Eye talking down about himself, and has found out that replacing 'Eye' with 'puppy/pup' makes him pay attention a whole lot more.
"I just feel so weak and feel like I could've done better. But I'm not... I'm not strong enough-" Vista cut off Eye immediately.
"Watch your language, puppy."
Eye stiffened.
"You are more than enough. And if you aren't, then I will always be here to protect you as well. Protection don't fall on just one of us. It's the both of us, puppy." Vista, with incredible gentleness, held Eye by the sides and pulled him closer.
So Eye gave me the notes to a video he had planned a while back and told me to wait for the video to come out before posting this fic.
...
Because of course I wrote a fic on it immediately, come on guys who do you think I am.
Anyway I got permission to post this because uh...
I don't think we're getting that video for a while guys 🧍♀️
I don't wanna put too much context for this in case the video does come out eventually, but basically:
Eye is helping a different au save itself while being forced to help the Vista of that world so he can't escape
Eye was hurt. Really hurt. He literally passed out from the pain.
Vista, admittedly, hasn’t known Eye for very long. But it’s been long enough for him to know a few things.
For one, Eye was incredibly skilled at fighting. One of the best Vista’s ever seen. In addition to that, secondly, he doesn't handle being seen as weak or showing some form of weakness well. His pride in himself as a person comes from his strength, which was admirable really.
And finally, even though he may not show it, he really does care.
Vista knew it the moment Eye had saved his life. The odd stare that Eye had given him when Vista had mumbled out a thanks. Like he hadn’t expected the praise. Like it was just an average Tuesday for him. Like the expectation placed on him was to go above an beyond for someone like him.
It was endearing.
It was infuriating.
Because now, Eye was laid upon a bed glaring at anyone that came too close and just wanted to help, fighting back and struggling completely unnecessarily.
He wouldn't accept the potions offered. He, with what little strength he had, fought back against any physician wanting to inspect his body for internal or external damage that could be fixed.
Stubborn.
The only one who he vaguely allowed to get close enough was Vista.
There weren't many more options really.
“This would go by a lot faster if you just let someone actually medically trained to do this.” Vista set down a tray of healing potions and cloths on the bedstand.
Eye’s gaze followed him, watching him closely. Still on edge. Guarded.
“I just want to get you on your feet at the very least.” Vista didn’t necessarily plead, but it was more implied.
Eye said nothing.
Vista moved to pour a potion of health on one of the cloths, soaking it in the liquid, and set it back down.
He’d have to move slowly, but still be casual about the situation. Eye didn’t appreciate being seen or treated as weaker.
Vista grabbed the edge of the covers, pulling them down to reveal Eye’s upper body.
“You said the pain was in your general chest area?” Vista asked, fingers hovering just above Eye’s shirt.
Eye, after a moment of hesitancy, nodded.
Alright. No verbal words yet, but some form of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ was progress.
Vista began to pull Eye’s shirt up to where someone’s neck would normally be. He was…white…as in, completely white. His whole body was just as pale as the pale garden’s trees. He also had a few scars along his body, but they seemed to be from a long long time ago, based on the fact they were incredibly faded and fully healed.
The thing that really caught Vista’s attention however, was the marking on his chest.
It was best described to be in the shape of a singular eye with some crazy eyeliner and heavy mascara. A few other lines were on equal sides of it, one big one running down from the center of the eye all the way to the middle of his pectorals.
“You gonna keep staring at my chest all day or…” Eye’s tired voice snapped Vista from his intense staring contest with the tattoo on Eye’s chest.
He was staring at Eye’s chest for at least a good minute.
Well….that’s not embarrassing at all.
Vista ignored both Eye’s comment and the warmth that he felt threatening to crawl up on his face and ears. He grabbed the damp cloth and gently pressed down on the center of Eye’s chest, who shivered slightly at the cold contact.
At least, Vista chose to believe it was the cold contact, and not his hand that was also on Eye’s chest for stability.
Stability. That was all.
Focus.
“Is there any spot in particular I should be placing this?” He asked, sort of just making a small gentle circular motion around Eye’s chest.
Eye shook his head. “No.” Blunt. Ever so slightly upset. Tired. Disappointed.
“This wouldn't have happened if you had just asked for help, you know.” Vista replied just as blunt, but the gentle soothing circles didn’t stop.
“You have to take care of yourself too. Recklessness and diving head first into danger doesn’t make you strong.” Vista felt Eye tense.
He continued. “Believe it or not, running a kingdom makes for a few hard life lessons. And in my humble opinion, strength comes from being able to rely on others.”
Eye left out a small scoff, shuffling slightly. It seems that the potion really is soothing his pain.
Vista frowned in response. “It’s true, Eye. I’m not strong by myself- but I can be stronger by relying on my guards to have my back. I don’t always know what is the correct decision, that’s why I have advisors with other information to help me. I can’t heal every wound possible, that’s why I sent several of the best alchemists I know to brew these potions for you and nurses to check in on you.”
Vista stopped and stood up, grabbing a regeneration potion now.
“Can you sit up?” he asked.
Eye nodded, but struggled to do a curl up like he wanted.
Vista moved to support his back and shoulders. He could’ve sworn he felt a light shiver from Eye, but Vista chose to blame it on his weakened state and the struggling of muscles.
Once Eye was sat up, Vista paused for a moment.
He could theoretically just…hand Eye the potion and let him drink it himself. But then again, how was he going to prove to Eye he could handle this sort of stuff in the future?
A future?
A future, one with Eye in it.
Hmm, what a pleasant thought.
Either way, better to get it over with now.
“Eye, this might seem sorta weird but uh… how exactly do you eat or drink?” Vista swished the regeneration bottle for emphasis.
Eye stared at the blond for a moment before- holy shit his eye isn’t an eye anymore what the fuck-
Vista watched in slight horror as Eye’s head and singular eyeball went completely white and split open from the center. A mouth split open, incisors and a freakishly long tongue stuck out, drool already sliding down said freakishly long tongue.
Oh, cool, yeah- no that’s perfectly normal.
“Ah, okay. I see.” Was all Vista muttered, before slowly unscrewing and popping the cork on the potion. He led the potion over to Eye’s mouth, close to his tongue, and began to pour it into his mouth.
Well, at least it couldn’t get any weirder.
Vista was immediately proven wrong by the universe when Eye’s tongue darted in the general direction of the steady stream and began to curl around both the bottle and Vista’s hand.
It was warm. Incredibly slimy.
‘Gross’ was what his mind wanted to say.
Yet for some odd reason, Vista couldn't bring himself to fully believe that word.
Vista only continued to keep a steady stream of the regen pot flowing into Eye’s mouth, the tongue curled around his fingers squirmed in place but held steady up until the last drop was consumed.
Vista stood there in awe as his tongue returned to his mouth and- just like that, his giant eyeball head was back.
‘Incredible’ was the first word that came to mind.
Vista couldn’t find himself in a world where he didn’t whole heartily believe that word.
“Are you sick too now?” Eye asked, shuffling back to lay down, a small grunt barely being audible.
Vista let out a small hum as he put down the now empty bottle wiping his hand on one of the clean cloths.
“You’re red.” Plain and simple. Like it was a fact. The grass was green, the world had a giant rift in the sky, Eye was paler than the wood found in the pale garden- all simple and plain facts.
Vista stilled anyway, realizing that, yes, his face was incredibly warm.
Well, that was new.
“And you’re still in pain.” Vista grabbed the still damp cloth soaked in a health pot, and resumed his previous position of lifting Eye’s shirt and making small circles on his chest.
And a hand on his chest again. For support.
“You wouldn’t be in so much pain if you had just let me help.” Vista began again.
“You wouldn't have to bear this pain alone.” He spoke again, this time much gentler in tone, almost like a hushed whisper. “I really am here to help you. Please just…” Vista put down the cloth. “...don’t be afraid to ask. Anything you want. Really, I mean it, Eye.”
Vista sat there, looking expectantly at Eye for a moment.
Then he spoke.
“C-could you…” Eye began, turning his gaze away from Vista and shoving his head further into the pillows.
He was embarrassed.
Vista listened intently. This might be the one and only time Eye felt safe enough to trust Vista with a personal request.
“...could you stop caressing my chest? It feels weird.”
Huh?
Vista hadn't noticed his hand, which was still on Eye’s bare chest, had unintentionally started rubbing his thumb along the underside of Eye’s left pectoral.
Oh.
He jerked his hand away, as if Eye’s skin was hotter than lava and had terribly burned him.
Well…that was embarrassing.
Vista stood up suddenly, hurriedly grabbing the try of now used cloths and empty potions, feeling his ears begin to burn in humiliation.
“Okay well I’ll let you rest now- don’t take too long though because we still need to figure this out- but don’t push yourself either.” Vista’s words came out in a rush as he speed walked to the door.
He’s had enough humiliation for one day.
.
.
.
Eye sat there in the room, a strange silence filling the void that Vista’s voice had left behind. It was strange really. Eye had been alone for so long. He was more or less used to the silence now. All he had were the thoughts in his head to keep him company.
And right now, his mind was going absolutely bonkers.
Thoughts swirled in his head, ones about how adorable stupid Vista looked with his face all flushed, others about how his heart still felt odd, and the underlying message Vista was clearly trying to convey through his odd quips and scoldings.
Vista wanted Eye to stay here. With him.
He wanted Eye to trust him. He wanted Eye to be vulnerable around him.
How disgusting.
It made his heart churn just thinking about it.
Waking up every morning and seeing Vista at the same table he had crash landed on, waiting for him to eat breakfast.
Walking around the Village and outer skirts of the kingdom with Vista, talking about something more mundane or making small talk with some of the other villagers.
Eye teaching Vista how to block the bind spots and not leave as many openings- things that Eye noticed Vista did while fighting- and getting stronger. Together.
Walking around in a small flower field and dumping poppies in Vista’s hair.
Exploring the spot that apparently made the stars look absolutely breathtaking.
Falling asleep in the same bed during cold winters for warmth, or maybe even in front of a nice fire.
Stop.
Eye paused the rabbit hole his mind was wandering in, gently shaking the thoughts away.
Stupid. This was stupid.
He shouldn’t fantasise about dumb things like that.
Not when he already has a goal in mind.
Getting the hell out of that place.
Feelings are a weakness. They only make you doubt yourself, your capabilities, and make you hesitate.
Hesitation gets you killed.
Misplaced sentimentality gets you killed.
Every sort of attachment to things and people get you killed.
Eye had to be strong, he was strong. He didn’t need all this catering.
This sort of thinking shouldn't have even happened in the first place- no, Eye has made up his mind.
As soon as that spell is broken, he’s leaving.
He could still feel the warmth that lingered in his chest, left over by Vista's soft hand.
As soon as that spell is broken, he’s leaving.
He still remembered clearly how Vista's stare wasn't full of anger or disappointment, but genuine concern and worry.
As soon as that spell is broken, he’s leaving.
He could still hear the sincerity in Vista's voice as he scolded him, and how different it felt from when Taiga would scold him.
As soon as that spell is broken,
Eye was leaving.
Eye was going to leave.
Eye was going to leave Vista.
He had to be strong.
Even if the pain in his chest at the very thought of leaving Vista seemed like it wouldn't go away.
Airstrike Duo: last chance in saving a friendship.
It's the end of the war. What’s left of the capital city is ruins, fallen soldiers from both sides. Safe to say both sides lost, even if one did gain a crown. Theobald was facing Billy the whole fight. It was quite a struggle, like how he met him the first time and his latest fight with him. He was surviving but not winning. It's really hard to win against a combat style that is overpowered like that anyway.
What he can do best is stall him so he couldn't go after Parrot. They were wrapping up the wounded and were about to leave when he was confronted with his old friend once again, this time without a mace in hand. Just something very familiar.
A yellow feather necklace.
“ Come back to me. ”
This time his tone of voice isn’t even trying to convince him.. it's more so out of desperation. Looking back, ShoeBilly had many chances to ban him, many. When he did mace him, it's always when he had a totem on or at least equipped in combat. Theo isn't that stupid- of course, he might be... dense in some aspect, but with ShoeBilly, he isn't.
If I were to describe how ShoeBilly looks in this exact moment, he has his head hung low, one of his arms extended forward with the feather necklace in hand. His hair was messy, his eyes were pleading. And he is staring straight at Theo. It was a very uncomfortable sight to see one of the most powerful people almost bow to him, not to mention his own mentor.
“ please ”
Theobald won't deny their bond was strong— it really was. They were friends for half a decade until… well, a lot of things happened. It's hard to view someone the same after they show their true colors, no? He gives him many chances he really did as a friend. He tried his best on his end, but when the other did not reciprocate and decided to stonewall him, then what Theo did is just meeting him halfway.
Sometimes relationship is just like that.
“ Did you not remember what happened last time? ”
If Theo's being honest.
He already mourned the loss of a friend that day in the Farlands.
“ Wasn't it you who said friends make me weak? ”
Frustrated, he almost raised his voice. He needed to find his actual friends. After this, he did not have time for a chat.
“ I really don't have time for this.. ”
“ Please stay, ”
“ I'm sorry ”
That…caught him off guard. Finally, he faced him properly. All this time, he really did not care for this talk, not at all. There are so many places, so many things he needed to do. ShoeBilly isn't his priority anymore. Then he saw the look in his eyes. Genuine tears. It almost makes him crumble within the stoic face he pulls up front; almost crash down with that one look. No matter how heartless and cold he acts to someone, he has a history such as this; it was quite impossible to keep a straight face.
The next thing he processed was him sobbing uncontrollably. He didn't help him, of course not.
“ Please come home with me ”
“ That's all I ask ”
At the moment, it almost feels like everything went silent. No one moves… it's like the world slowed down just for them for a moment. He could almost see the whole life he once had with his old friend, one where they lived peacefully, just two friends hanging out, having fun. But those times hold no sorrows for him any longer. He moves on.
But clearly someone did not.
And for the last time, he said it.
“ No. ”
You could hear a pin drop after that.
Frustrated ShoeBilly, erupted into a fit of screaming. He threw the necklace onto the ground the same time that Theo turns and walks away. That friend he once had was gone. And as ShoeBilly was about to walk away, he turned around again, looking back at the back of Theo then down at the discarded necklace again. He picked it up and held it to his chest.
After wondering about his life choices for a while, he felt like fainting, his face about to plop down to the dirt if not for Saparata, that comes running to help him up, and once again they parted ways, bitterly.

I structured this poorly do not kill me I am not a writer bro I AM TRYING MY BEST
HC AirStrkies DUO : Toxic relationship/Actual reason why Theo didn't stick around✌️
Now that I have introduced you all to ShoeBilly the big birb version, I would like to add something to the headcanon that makes a lot of stuff in my HC much better, and that is something about intimidation tactics. You see. He doesn't use that form in normal occasions, especially not with Theo. Why? Well, mostly it's because he is afraid that Theo will be scared of him. It happens on accident once. ( I'm referencing this. ) And let's just say one of the reasons is because he is quite self-conscious, to say the least.
He did keep it a secret for a long while until Theo found out. Of course, no secret this big can be kept forever when questioned or pestered by it. Billy would try to shrug it off and not answer, but if he truly must, it will be very defensive since he doesn't really want to talk on that side of himself ( it’s very much a version of him where he used to scare others, and well... he want to kept it away from Theo.) He ended up switching up to that form a few times during Theo's training arc usually he switch to that in an argument
1) Because he can't really control himself well when he's angry.
2) He use it to intimidate him and shut him up, this also works when he wanted Theo to do what he was told as well.
Quite manipulative? Yes. Certainly. Billy is not a good person, there are quite a few moments of these in my head as well. Their relationship is certainly unhealthy. Theo wasn’t able to see it much until it came to his breaking point in the Farlands ( and even then he still thinks Billy's just a jerk ). When he became friends with Parrot, he then realized that friendship is low-key cooked. ( referencing Farlands from this )
This is just all the more reason why he doesn't go back to Billy no matter how hard he asks.
ShoeBilly only thought that Theo didn't come back to him just because of Parrot's being in his way, but uh, truthfully, he has his reasons. And one of that being ShoeBilly fucking sucks, bro. He's not a good friend; he was a good mentor, but he doesn't actually do shit aside from that to save their friendship, so it's really his fault. Theo was an open book, and he would communicate all his problems and everything with him just for ShoeBilly to brush it aside.
So he lowkey deserve to get kick to the curb
See bro I THOUGHT ABOUT IT GOOD BROOO EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER RAHHHH
At some point Billy realizes that Theo wasn't going to come back with him, sooooo-
https://youtu.be/LD6ePgLagcU?si=j8uRAIcVxh7sAQbu
- 🌼
Bro, why?
Is this how we cope
Just throwing bricks at each other?
Okay, but for me, what he felt when he realized is probably RAGE and hatred more than sad feelings (all this directly to Parrot).
Other than that, he might try one last-ditch effort. Hear me out. I wanted to draw this, but it’s going to take so long… the last time they met, either after the war or the end of it, he might ask Theo to come back again. It doesn’t matter if there's a crowd or not, but he would actually lower his head and pull up Theo's feather necklace and be like " come back 🥹😭 " and when Theo goes " no ", he be uncontrollably raging and screaming.. throwing a huge tantrum before flying off...... with the feather necklace because he aint throwing that shit away anytime soon. He'd glare daggers at Parrot as well✌️
HC: Theobald and Shoebilly // AirStrike Duo ( THIS IS A LONG ONE. )
Oh boy where do I begin.
They first met when Theo was in his early training with Minecarts. And their meeting wasn't by surprise or anything. Theo, with his big attitude and his above-average minecart skills, wanted to find a challenge for himself. And with this name of " Billy the Butcher " on the rise, his mind went, “Why not? If I could kill him, I could get all the fame and attention.”
So he travels around to find this “butcher. " When he first met him, Billy was just finishing from his latest work and was also hurting at the moment from the job. His back got this ugly scar mark from it. And then comes Theo, who wanders into his territory and asks him boldly.
" Are you Billy the Butcher? "
" Depends who's asking "
" I'm here to beat you up "
Let's just say it did not go well for Theo. He was surviving, but he's not winning, and he whines the whole time as well. Amused and kind of impressed with this whole attitude of the guy, Billy asks him for his name, and after a few unpleasantries, he asks Theo if he would like to be taught some BASICS. Offended by this, bro denies and quickly scurries away...after a day or two, he came back for revenge and got his ass kicked again.
Then he ran off, and after a third time of this, he finally ... reluctantly accepted the offer before Billy changed his mind and killed him off for being a nuisance. The first thing he asks him is whether he has friends or any allies at all. Of course, with the big attitude of Theo, he has basically no one. Billy teaches him his first lesson: friends = bad, friends will drag him down, and having friends or someone dear to him will hurt him in the long run. Theo doesn't understand the real concept of this much since he doesn’t have friends at the moment, but he understands the whole gist of what Billy tries to say.
Their daily routine consists of around three things: Training, Resting, Hunting for food. It was that simple. If only the training was that simple. Billy made him do a lot of things, from carrying buckets until his inventory is full to punching 100 trees in 1 hour, and that's just a warm-up. He taught him the basics of PVP, how to adjust his inventory, and how to dodge attacks. He even taught him a new attitude, small things like how he needed to lift his chin up, how he was supposed to talk, and carry himself so he would be even more confident.
Safe to say, most of the time, ShoeBilly is a good model. There are some things that Theo finds weird, but he didn’t really call Billy out for it like how he didn’t stop players from killing an innocent player when he could have or how he would laugh as a weaker player got slaughtered. He does know of ShoeBilly ideals, but it still rubs him the wrong way; he just doesn’t know what it is.
They spent nights and days together. ShoeBilly lives in a big ass tree near the mangrove swamps biome (because he really likes the colors of the wood… and also… easy to access food. ) Theo doesn't really like the swamp much, so Billy has to make a little corner for him in his house using some leaves and jungle wood. He also stockpiles a lot of seeds. At first, he thought Theo could just eat fish, but bro stares at him when he drops a big ass salmon on the floor for him, so he switches to collecting seeds.
He makes Theo do all the chores around their little nest. Usually, Billy just sits around, goes hunting, or does his job ( he's still an assassin ). Sometimes he takes Theo with him; sometimes he doesn’t. As you can see it is quite peaceful they didn't really have conflict that much they do bicker often but it was all in good fun.
After training with Billy for a while, Theo started to develop the same habits as him. Just small things: the way he carries himself, the way he looks down on others, and even the way he dresses. Then one day, another topic of having friends arises. They were talking casually about Theo meeting old acquaintances, and Billy reminded him about their first lesson. It goes something like:
" Okay, if having friends makes me weak, then what are we? Are we not friends? "
" What? "
" Like I know you're going on and on about having someone you care about could make them be a target, but then am I not your one weakness then? "
" We are not friends. "
" Then what am I to you?"
To that, Billy did not respond and gave him a very annoyed look and basically said he's done with the conversation. After that, Theo was a bit down for a while since, well, the person he looked up to just straight up told him that they are not friends. It created a " small " rift, but after a while, they resumed talking like nothing had happened. Theo didn't question him about it much again.
Now let's talk about how Billy viewed Theo in most of this.
I didn't draw much of this, but he really likes Theo as a person and as a student of his, he doesn't really have a student he doesn’t even want to teach anyone until, of course, he finds this stupid ass bird trying to one-up him in a fight. And usually, if he finds someone trying to pull a stunt like this, he would immediately ban them without a single thought, but since it was another fellow bird (which he didn't encounter in a while) and it also came with an attitude, he decided it might be worthwhile taking it in under his wings.
Billy takes care of Theo well, providing him with food and shelter, helping him preen and get himself together, and he even taught him a thing or two about his work and some advanced fighting techniques. He learned to really cherish this fat, ahh cockatiel as something dear to him, a very cute student. He has pictures of him all over the walls in his room, trust, but he'd never let bro see that shit. Although he was cold on the outside, he very much is the opposite on the inside; he really appreciates having a company in his house.
So when the question of what situationship they are arises, it makes him feel a bit conflicted.
Here's the thing about ShoeBilly:
1) He hates labels.
2) He hates "having friends."
3) Although he treats him as a very close friend, the thought of saying something that goes against HIS OWN ideals chokes him.
So basically, he told him to shut up and don't think about it. He does feel a bit bad seeing Theo sulk around their place, but he thought he'd get over it anyway, so like… yeah.
Spoilers: He did not get over it.
They continue on with their day like nothing happened. They live their life like normal, and Billy always shuts down the same kind of conversation with Theo.
After Theo actually gets good at minecarts, they decided to go on a mission together for a commission that Billy received from someone he wanted Theo to partake in. They travel to the Farlands around this time. Along the way, they meet and kill a bunch of the mafias, and Theo learns to really dislike them SO MUCH because they pester them a LOT. After traveling for a while, he's seen what they are capable of and holds a little bit of a grudge against them every time he sees any of them. He wanted to chase them down, and every time Billy stops him, he was more than annoyed.
At this point, it comes to a point where he finally said he will go after them, and Billy can go do his commission alone. Billy insists that he came with him because he doesn’t want Theo to go alone. But Theo was so fed up because all these times he travels, never once has Billy let him do whatever he wants. It’s always " no, Theo, you can’t do that. " or " No, Theo, you need to listen to me. " So he was done. And he made it clear that " no, I am going. You can't stop me. "
And that was the first time they had a full-blown argument, and it came to a point where Billy threatened to cut him off entirely. But Theo really didn't give a shit anymore. He was so ready to leave the nest... so with a final effort, Billy asked him to just come with him:
" Theo, you're making a mistake. Just- come with me. "
" No? Like you're just going to order me to do this or order me to do that? I am done, bro. If you want to do whatever mission so badly you can do it alone, I'm not doing this shit anymore. I'm just done. You do whatever you want. I’m-“
" IF YOU DON'T COME WITH ME- I WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOU
Theo, I won't be able to .. so just come with me and we can talk about it later. "
There was a long silence, but the answer came after a while as Theo threw his own uniform to the ground and just responded.
" No. "
That was how they parted. Theo went on his own ways to do his own thing because he's really fed up with getting controlled and dragged around by ShoeBilly. While ShoeBilly was left to pick up the pieces of his one and only friend. He took the hoodie, of course. He felt like his world fell apart for a moment there, but there's really nothing he could do. He wished he could word it differently or convince him again, but he can’t, and if he could go back in time a little bit, he might have told him he did view him as a friend.
Idk who will read it to this point, and if you did, I applaud you. I might draw some scene later
