Polyclue parents AU - Chapter 3 "help needed”
For the last few weeks, not one of them has been able to sleep, not because of Martin, but because of Blue's absence... Green was always in the room hoping that one day Blue would come home, he regretted having yelled at him... Yellow was locked in their room, they didn't even go out to eat and that made the others very worried. Red and Purple were the ones who took care of Martin the most, Second constantly got tired taking care of him. But still they were trying to move on, but without Blue, it was like there was a void in the hearts of all of them...
The weeks went by fast, and not one of them seemed to notice, but when they least expect it, the month has passed and a new one has arrived. Red couldn't pay more attention to his training for the tournament, and ended up losing to his opponents every time. His rep ends up feeling like he needed some time off and forbade him from returning to the arena until he gets better. This left Red feeling a bit useless, he returns to his house somewhat disappointed with today's outcome. "I arrived..." He opens the door of the house entering and once again seeing Green who looked excited for a second but when he saw that it was just Red he got depressed again. Red looks at him and sighs, "Hi to you too Greeny..." He walks over to him and kisses his forehead gently, "Did you eat anything today?" he asks stroking Green's face
Green looks away not wanting to answer, but the growl in his belly was all Red needed, "okay, this is getting worrying!" Red with a serious look takes Green by the arm and drags him to the kitchen. Red grabs her apron to prepare lunch, Green sighs as she sits in his chair leaning her elbows on the table. Red makes one of his best dishes, Green's favorite, Purple enters the kitchen, he was surprised to see Red cooking and Green in the kitchen, normally Red was still in the arena and Green... it doesn't matter to Purple, they were just happy to see Green ready to eat something. "Glee, glad you're here..." Purple sits next to him and pats his shoulder, Green looks at them, embarrassed at his own state. he had dark circles under his eyes, hadn't slept in weeks, he hadn't eaten right either. Red after finishing cooking puts it on the table, "Purpy, can you call the others please...?" he politely asks sitting next to Green. Purple gets up and goes to call the others.
Red looks at Green and holds his hand gently, Green tries to release his hand from Red's but Red's gentle touch that he hasn't felt in weeks was more desiring than feeling anything. Green accepted the hold of Red who approaches him and hugs him, "please Green... I can't stand to see you like this... I know you miss Blue... I do too..." He strokes his hand. Green's face with his other hand, "I know..." Green replies, "but I... I shouldn't have talked to him like that!!" He covers his face trying not to cry. Red pulls his face gently looking into his eyes, "Green, we were all nervous! Blue was nervous, I could see it! He clearly wasn't ready, hell I wasn't ready for this!" He puts his second hand on Green's face, "But one thing I have to say is...”he pauses and weakly smiles, "I know Blue... I know he'll be back and everything will be fine...” He leans his forehead against Green's, "just believe it greeny... He loves you, and you love him..." He kisses Green's nose, "we love him..." Green strokes Red's hand kindly Shedding some tears and hugging Red who hugs him back holding back tears.
Purple listened to the two and smiled seeing them hugging each other. They go to the second floor and knock on Second Coming's bedroom door, “Secky, lunch time, Red is early!" After a few seconds Second leaves the room with Martin on their laps biting their shirt. "Did Red arrive??" They quickly head upstairs to see Red who was happy to see him and Second just hugs him. Little Martin was happy to see Red and expands his arms to Red's face wanting to touch him, he smiles and holds Martin's little hands. Second looks at Green and smiles seeing that he was eating Red's food, "Hi Green..." He sits in the chair next to Green with Martin on his lap. Green looks at Second with a weak smile and then at Martin who was slamming his little hands on the table with an innocent smile. "Hi buddy..." He extends his hand to Martin who recognizes him and smiles, Green remembers Blue's smile and starts to tear up. "I miss him!" He covers his face looking the other way far from Martin, "I miss his jokes... I miss his smile... I miss his surprise hugs!!" He starts to cry, Second gets up and goes to him trying to calm him down. "Green! Don't worry, he'll be back, I-I promise!!” Second tries to comfort Green, Martin sees his father crying and starts crying too. "No no no!!" Green takes Martin on his lap and gets up and tries to calm him down, "Sorry buddy! I didn't mean to scare you! I... I..." Both couldn't stop crying, Green gives Martin back to second but he refuses to take him in his lap Green looks at the little one again trying to stop crying, the baby didn't stop either. "Martin... I'm sorry I pushed one of your parents away..." Green closes his eyes, "I should have tried talking to him instead of sending him away!" He looks to the side. He brings his face closer to Martin's who stops crying to touch his face gently, Green opens his eyes looking into Martin's. Those innocent eyes staring at him made him so guilty, He hugs Martin who snuggles into his arms and closes his eyes.
Green sits back in his chair, "we promise to take care of you together..." He picks up his phone looking at a picture of him with Blue and Second after one of his concerts. He smiles, it was a good memory of them, he sighs looking up, "I... I'll try to talk to him..." The others smile and second kisses his cheek happily, "but first eat!" Red points to the lunch plate that was getting cold, Green laughs and gives Martin back to Red and starts eating, "sorry Reddy..." He loved Red's food and it smelled great. Red smiles finally seeing the Green smile he loved so much.
Purple was at the entrance again seeing it all, they wipe away their tears, sigh and go upstairs again. They knock on Yellow's door, "Yelly... Will you please get out of there? Green says he's going to try to talk to Blue!". Yellow who hugged a photographer of Blue and lies on her bed, hearing this raises her head, her eyes red from crying, they run to the door almost stumbling. They open the door, Purple covers her mouth with Yellow's state, and if they approach them for a hug, Yellow accepts crying on Purple's shoulder. "I know... I know... I miss him too! But calm down, Green will work it out, we'll work it out!" Purple kisses Yellow's cheek affectionately, who holds ther hand over ther hand. the two go to the kitchen to join the others who were equally happy to see yellow giving them a hug. all they wanted was Blue back...
At Chosen and Dark's house, since Blue arrived he'd just been on the couch, not eating, not going out or not even talking to them. He just asked for a place to stay, he never wanted to Speak, but Chosen and Dark knew he wasn't doing very well. Dark offered his therapist to Blue, she accepted but he just had to convince Blue that he was practically in a vegetative state. Chosen had to do something, "Dark, what date did you set up with your therapist?" He asks looking at Dark in the kitchen, "Two days from now honey, don't worry about him" Chosen crosses his arms looking at him, "then go try to talk to him! you came up with the idea, now help him!" Dark sighs and gets up going over to Blue and sitting next to him on the couch. "look..." he looks at Blue, he was covered by a blanket that Chosen had given him, his eyes were dark and a little red from not sleeping and crying. "I understand what it's like to feel like an asshole to the people you love..." he looks at Chosen with a sympathetic look, "but if sinking into this depression isn't the best choice..." he pauses seeing some beer cans on the corner of the floor, "much less sinking into alcohol!" He looks at him with a pitying expression.
Chosen leaves the scene for a moment to make a call. Dark puts his hand on Blue's shoulder hesitating a little, "but hey... I can help you if you want..." He tries to crack a sympathetic smile, Blue looks at him with a blank expression. Dark's smile changes to a pitying expression, "look, just try to accept it!" Blue tightens the blanket over him, "accept what...?" Blue says lowering his head, "that I assaulted Green?? That I almost attacked Yellow??" He closes his eyes tearing up , Dark is surprised, he never saw it coming, just that he had fucked up something between him and the others. "I said horrible things!! I acted horrible!! I LITERALLY SAID WE WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT MARTIN!!! HOW WOULD YOU GET ME TO ACCEPT THAT???" He raises his voice looking at Dark who was shocked by all this. "Yeh... You sure need urgent help..." He gets up taking his phone to text his therapist, "look, I made an appointment with my therapist to have an appointment with you!” Blue looks at him confused, raising an eyebrow, "I don't want to see you like that anymore! You remind me of myself when I was in the shit!" He looks at Blue, “Blue, you need help taking care of this..." Dark puts his hand on Dark's shoulder, "let me help you..." Blue looks down, "whatever..." He wipes his tears lying on the bed. couch.
Chosen ends his call, Dark si gets up and goes to where Chosen was, "I did what I could, I don't know or have any idea how to solve this on my own cho-cho" He kisses Chosen on the cheek before heading back to the kitchen, "By the way, I changed the dada, she's coming tomorrow afternoon!" Chosen swallows hard, "shit... The house is going to be full, Dark stops and slowly turns to him, "What...?" He stares at Chosen with a confused and suspicious expression, "hehe..." Cho laughs nervously, "Is that ah..." He was sweating,"I called Second and the others and...." He swallows hard, "they're going to come here tomorrow to see Blue!" Dark takes a deep breath and puts his hands together trying not to get stressed. "What the fuck Chosen!?"
The next day, everyone arrived, it was very tense. As soon as Green and the others arrived, Blue ran to the bathroom locking herself inside, the others sat in the living room not knowing what to do, Chosen, to calm the situation, prepared some snacks for them Shortly after, Dark's therapist arrived, she introduced herself to everyone and felt herself in the free chair. "So all five of you are Blue's partners?" She asks looking at the group, "yes..." Red answers for them, Second was next to Green with Martin in his arms. Yellow was looking at the stairs thinking about what Blue was doing, Purple was a little nervous but trying to calm down by drinking tea. “Tell me one by one about the problems that happened between you and him." Everyone looks at each other, Green takes a deep breath closing his eyes tightly and looking up, "ok, I'll start..." He looks down at his hands, Second puts theirs in Green's comforting him. "It all started a week after Martin was born, at first Blue was fine with everything, but then he started to get more distant... He couldn't sleep, he always looked tired, and... And started drinking..." He swallows hard remembering this, "he started skipping his tasks of taking care of Martin, go out every night and whenever we asked him for help he would ignore us..." Green could barely hold back the tears, his voice was slowly breaking, "I shouldn't have yelled at him... I should have asked him what the problem was..." He buried his face in his hands, crying. Sec puts a hand on his back caressing it, "I was horrible... I just wanted everything to be like it was before..." He hugs second crying. Second and Red hug Green trying to comfort him.
One by one, they each talk about what Blue did that bothered them. His ignorance, him constantly being out at night, the alcohol, the fights, his constant anger. After they each give their points, the therapist puts her hands together, "it's pretty obvious this is a case of him not being ready to be a father... I need to hear his side alone to understand this better.” She states, "I need him to leave the bathroom now so we can talk..." Yellow immediately stands up, "I'll talk to him..." They head to the second floor where the bathroom was. Everyone looks at each other, "if there's anyone Blue will listen to, it's definitely Yellow.." Red says with a smile still comforting Green.
Yellow arrives at the bathroom door, They practice knocking on the door, remembering Blue's angry and irritated expression the last time they saw each other. Yellow was panting and almost crying just thinking about seeing Blue again... They knock on the door, "B-Blue..?" Their voice almost breaks, "Blue it's me... Yellow.." they knock again, "Why?Please Bluey... I'm... I'm sorry... I should have talked to you instead of throwing out your drinks without your consent..." They start to tear up, they lean their heads against the door, "I master...Please come back to us... Come back to me..." Their voices break and they start to cry. The door opens slowly, yellow steps away seeing Blue opening it. Blue was crying too, with bags under her eyes, they were sniffling, still wrapped in the blanket. "yellow...I'm sorry!! It was my fault, I was wrong!! I should have been honest, I shouldn't have hit Green!!" He was shaking and his legs couldn't take it anymore, he fell to his knees on the floor. Yellow crouches down to his height and hugs him, "Blue... Everything is so empty without you!! We understand your pain... We miss you!! We love you!!" yellow was crying on Blue's shoulder, he could only hug yellow even tighter.
Red, worried, went to get the two and heard the cries and hurried, seeing the two cry and hugging each other, Red couldn't stand it and joined them too crying missing Blue. After a few minutes of trying to calm down, Yellow and Red lead Blue back into the room wrapped in his blanket. He sits on the couch a little way away from Green, He looks at Martin who was in the arms of Second who was trying not to cry seeing Blue in this condition. Blue looks down feeling very guilty, "I... I'm sorry Sec..." He stutters a little, he could barely speak, his voice was almost breaking apart from the stress and constant crying, “I should never have said what I said... I was selfish and cruel... I'm sorry Martin... I'm not a good father to you little one...." He covers his face with his hands, sniffling and sobbing between tears.
"B-Blue, It's not your fault! I..." They pause, Sec didn't quite know what to say, "neither one of us was ready for that kind of responsibility..."They look now at Martin who looked at them with an innocent look, Sec smiles shyly, "but... I'm so happy to have him... I was so happy I didn't notice you weren't..." The smile disappears and a look of guilt takes over. "Sec, don't blame yourself!" Blue raises her head, "I was selfish and only thought about myself! I shouldn't have drunk too much, I shouldn't have snapped at you! I was wrong, I'm sorry!!" His face was completely soaked with guilt tears, he starts to wipe away the tears, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry Sec! I never meant to hurt you! I swear it!!" he was sobbing a lot. Green hesitates but pats Blue's back who looks towards him in shock, he slowly backs away shaking his head, "why..?" He begins to question, "why do you want me to come back..??” Tears fall again, Green was surprised he pulled away, his hand still in the air shaking. "I hurt you Green!! I'm not a good partner!! Why do you still want to forgive me???" He covers his face again, burying his body in the sofa pillows.
Green turns his face away, and starts crying too. The therapist starts to empathize with them, "okay... That sounds really serious, Blue, might explain the reasons for your anger that started All this?” She asks, Blue stands up with a very bad face, his eyes are already bloodshot and he can barely breathe properly. Blue looks at everyone in the room, including Dark who signals to him that everything is fine with a smile, Blue takes a deep breath and starts talking. He explained in detail everything he felt. Frustrations, lack of sleep, stress, lack of affection, lack of attention. He explained that what he loved most was their affection, but that now it was as if it had disappeared after Martin was born, he explained that it was nobody's fault, But that he felt unhappy, "That's why... That's why I'm a horrible partner..." He covers his face in shame, "Blue, this is all understandable... You need to understand that regardless of how you feel, you need to communicate with your partners... Communication is the key to a healthy relationship!"
Blue lifts her head, "Now, are you willing to accept that they forgive you..?" Blue looks at everyone, including Green who was still crying with her head resting on Red's shoulder. Blue sighs, he loved them, especially Green, he couldn't keep it that way forever, "y-yes..." He responds in a tearful tone, Purple sits next to him and hugs him tight comforting him, "Great, each of you has to work on it! It's very important... I can see very well how important you are to each other! And just talking is really important in situations like this!" She smiles satisfied, she gives Blue her number, "Anything just call me for a consultation ok? I will always be on hand to help my customers, and they don't have to pay a lot!" They thank you.
Right after that, she says goodbye to Dark and Chosen and leaves. The group decides to spend the night there, mainly because they missed Blue so much and wanted to be close to him. During the night he heard Martin crying and tried to cover his ears with the pillow, he then started to hear a melody and followed that voice so beautiful He enters the kitchen where Purple was carrying little Martin in his arms singing a beautiful melody, Blue blushes, he spent so much time away from them that he had forgotten about Purple's beautiful singing voice. He could barely hear Martin crying, Purple himself turned towards Blue and saw him, "Oh... Good night Blue..." They laugh awkwardly, "why are you awake..?" Blue was nervous to speak,But the therapist said that communicating was important, he hesitatingly points to Martin, Purple realizes this, Martin was not sleeping even more he was calmer.
Martin look at Blue and with an innocent smile extend their arms to him wanting to lap, blue si pulls away a little, "I think he wants you..." Purple laughs softly, Blue doesn't laugh, He turns back the way he came and Trying to ignore this he tries to walk away but Martin starts to get agitated wanting Blue's lap so badly. Blue tries not to look annoyed, "Blue... Just try ok? It's not that bad or difficult..." Blue looks in their direction still not quite comfortable with it... He sighs and goes to Martin and carefully takes him in his arms, he was heavy, he had forgotten about it. Martin starts to laugh, Blue sits in a chair carefully looking at him, staring at him seems to have caught Martin's attention who started to grimace, "w-what's wrong with him??" Blue started to worry, Purple just laughs, "he thinks you're making a face and he's imitating it!" they point to Martin and Blue look at him again, Martin was staring at him, Blue bows her head and Martin does the same. Blue makes a serious face and Martin tries to imitate, Blue laughs low and Martin laughs loudly. A blush slowly appears on Blue's cheeks, Martin touches his face smiling, Blue felt his touch, her little hands were soft and comforting. Blue had never felt like this before with Martin, before we were oh frustration and tiredness, but now... He was... More comfortable! “What a fool I was..." He smiles at Martin holding his little hand, "you're just a baby... If you only understood what I say... Or the shit I did... I don't think I'd be smiling so..." Blue faith then something that left Purple speechless... He hugged Martin...
"I... I'll do my best to be a good father to you little boy..." He starts crying, Martin was confused, Purple sits next to Blue and hugs him. Blue finally understood their dedication... Martin was very precious and delicate, he deserved affection, attention, and affection... Everything he needed too... And now he wanted to give that love and affection For your son... Blue smiles looking at Martin and kisses his forehead Martin starts to yawn and falls asleep on Blue's lap, he starts to almost cry with happiness, finally this boy slept in his arms! Blue and Purple look at each other happily, Purple kisses Blue's forehead and the two go into the room together.
The next day, the group gets together in the living room, Green when entering the room is in shock, on the couch were Blue, Purple and Martin, the three of them sleeping together, Martin was on Blue's chest and Purple were hugging them both. Green starts crying with joy, Blue was sleeping with Martin! It was all Green ever wanted to see....
Everyone leaves the living room smiling, happy that everything was fine for the moment...
