“Hey, um... I know I’m a stranger and all and you might not particularly care, but if I were to rant about something that really annoys me, would you listen?” Devon asked the stranger who happened to be standing around next to him.
Normally, he wouldn’t have the nerve to come up to a random person and start complaining about things, which is why he asked to make sure it was okay first. Despite having some bad social anxiety most of the time, but he couldn’t help himself. He was a person who rarely ever got pissed, but his friends sort of ticked him off sometimes, even if they didn’t mean to.
You feel disconnected from the world around you. You can see everything, everyone can see you, but you're not really there. No one can really communicate with you, can they? You're isolated, even when you're around people you're alone.
You want desperately to be close to someone, but you're afraid of what will happen if you shatter your glass prison. You don't want to let someone in, you don't want to leave, and it's a constant battle of your own will.
It's easier to be alone, where no one can hurt you... Isn't it?

Flowers
Your pain takes the shape of flowers, or something else beautiful and free. You can't help but see what you don't have in the beautiful thing, can't help but feel pain as you see what you're missing out on. Maybe you even wish that you could just be happy and surround yourself in flowers, but you can't, because each time you see them it's like a reminder of the empty hole you carry.
They say that pain is beauty... Right?

Sea
You're drowning. A sea of emotions, responsibilities, people, things, everything. You just can't handle it all, you need to escape, but you can't. Even talking to someone and being told it's okay, compliments, nice things people say, it all adds up to drown you further. Guilt, for feeling this way when everyone's being nice and you're not enough.
Will you sink or swim?
Abi smirked faintly, and proceeded to pounce, arms around his shoulders as she kissed him just this side of playfully. “Now sounds good.” She grinned, producing a silk tie from behind him. “How attached to this are you? Or do you think you can get out of it without ripping it when that time comes?” Not if, when. Because she would do her best to make sure it did.
“A baby!” Abi chirruped, as though it were nothing. She wasn’t looking at Devon, nor did she notice his concern. She pointed eagerly, and then trotted along ahead of him towards the open doors of a small local-owned pet store, outside of which were a litter of husky puppies currently clambering over each other for attention within a pen.
She knelt down beside the pen, reaching in to pet a dark red one with bright blue eyes as it scrabbled against the side of the pen to get closer to her.
((I can't stop thinking about cute things for some reason, so here are a bunch of things my OCs would do to show their love for their boyfriends that I copied and pasted from my facebook-
Vinnie: make mixtapes dedicated to him filled with remixed, dubstep-infused versions of his favourite songs. vinnie would also try to write poems, but his writing is extremely messy and unreadable so eventually he ends up just drawing hearts (in crayon) all over a (messily cut out) heart-shaped piece of paper but he worked very hard on it and put all his love into it! ;w;
Devon: definitely would write sweet poems and songs for him and play cute songs on his guitar!! devon would also do little things that he knows his boyfriend likes, and would do things he normally wouldn't do just to make him happy. he'd also want to go on nice dates involving lots of cuddles and telling his boyfriend how much he loves him :0
Vincent: spoils the f u c k out of his partner tbh!! his boyfriend deserves only the best, and he'll buy little gifts like chocolates and bouquets of favourite flowers and give stuff to him all the time. also vincent would constantly remind him how much he loves him, and how important his boyfriend is, and how glad he is to have someone so perfect in his life, which is actually a huge deal for him to say considering his pd-
Flint: would also definitely write poems and songs- but he would mostly write songs tbh, and make really cool covers of all of his boyfriend's favourite songs! flint would probably also set fires in the shape of a heart somehow, and he would also spend a lot of time with his boyfriend and cuddle him a lot. he also sends memes as a sign of love-- :') ))
