Don’t Do Sadness | Riding Vibes
@foreverydinger
Tad felt like his vibes were completely shattered. Weed did nothing to get rid of the edge. The nervous upset energy that came after the guy he loved broke up with him. Samwise Theodore Fiske was sad. He was so sad, and he didn’t know how to pull himself out of it. The usual way to push down any uncomfortable or sad feelings wasn’t working.
Sad.
He had never realized the world could look...gray. Like all the bright fun vibes were ripped from the sky and from his tummy and gone off planet. Tad’s eyes became waterfalls, and his sister even started asking more about what was up in his universe.
This wasn’t Tad. But Tad hadn’t pictured breaking up with Pip. That wasn’t in his zone. Why would it be? Pip was just...he was amazing. He was perfect. But he also didn’t trust Tad. He didn’t think Tad could be someone he could count on. That made Tad feel smaller than a goldfish.
But Tad needed to push past this. He needed to...he didn’t know how to handle these sad vibes in him. His eyes were still waterfalls, though the flow was now more like a trickle than a steady stream as he made his way out of the house and went out to meet with Tony.
Was this a smart thing? No. Was Tad worried about trying to be smarter in this moment? No. He had tried so hard for months to be right for Pip and to love Pip and be who Pip needed. But he still messed it all up.
He spotted Tony after a long minute, shoving his hands in his pockets and making his way over to him. “Hey,” he said hoarsely, hoping the other would ignore the vibes radiating off of him.
