Starter for @almxghtyred
❝ Hey hey - shh it's okay, Red ❞ The young Irken tripped over his feet as he rushed towards his friend, kneeling down at his side. He lifted a hand up to Red's face, wiping a tear from his flushed green cheeks. ❝ You did good, it's okay.❞ he reassured, using the back of his gloves to clean off a trail of turquoise blood from under the soldier's nose.
Pressing his tattooed forehead to Red's, Purple let out a soft laugh. ❝ It was kind of funny when the Schlorpeous Schlob ate your spear and you had to run for your life ❞ He smiled into the touch, still stifling a laugh at the image of Red's face screaming in terror. ❝ You'll get him next time. Plus, you're still taller than Zim and Skoodge so don't worry about it ❞
They were at the top of their class. No, not in the sense that they had the highest grades - they were literally at the top; antennae almost hitting the low ceilings of their indoor learning pods. As the tallest Irkens training on Devastis, Red and Purple were pretty popular. They attracted a lot of attention from their peers; good and bad. Despite their popularity, they mostly stuck together. They'd been inseparable since they started training in the Irken undergrounds - constantly relying on each other for virtually everything.
Purple had to admit he had a soft spot for his best friend. They played rough and laughed at each other's misery but at the end of the day they were always there for each other. They were never seen apart; mocking their inferior classmates, and taking care of each other just as well. The universe just wouldn't be the same without Red, and he dreaded any future where they were separated.
Purple lifted himself up with a zipper toothed grin; offering a hand to his friend. ❝Come on, asshole. Lets go get lunch and dump the scraps on Zim! ❞
