"Prrr r r r.." he closed his eyes as the other gently stroked his prickly cheek, keeping his quills flat and safe to the touch. ".. I und er s t and.." He suddenly said very clearly. "BT i s a ve r y nice pers o n.. Nev e r hur t He i n.. Ne ver made Hei n sa d. BT des e r ve s.. Happines s." He leans in and hugs the shorter Onceler close, but making sure not to poke or cave in anything. "He i n love s BT.."

"Yeah, I love you too." He cautiously wraps his arms around the other, giving him a light squeeze. "You mean a lot to me, I hope you know."

"I'm not sure how to go back to being a humble farm boy in a goofy vest. I don't even know if that'll make me happy again." BT buries his face around and in-between Hein's quills, the quiet sounds of his sobbing filling the gloomy office with a somber echo.

His sentences break in-between his hitched breathing. "All I know is that all this—", He pulls away to gesture to the office, "—This isn't making me happy anymore. I don't think it ever did."

Closing his many eyes to fully relax at the pleasant scratching, he hummed and purred to his hearts content. It was nice to be in good company like this, but he couldn't help but feel something may be wrong with his friend. He pulled back a little to look down at the suited Once-ler, tilting his head one way, then the other as he spoke to him, feeling BT's emotions and even seeing the glisten of tears. ".. Lov e BT.. BT i s.. Kin d.." He managed to say in his limited vocabulary. "N o t.. Ba d."

“I don’t know if that’s true anymore.”

But out of all the absurd decisions BT had supposedly made in the past, at that moment he wasn’t regretting befriending Hein. For someone who was constantly pegged as a “creature” rather than someone with feelings, he was trustworthy and loyal. Something most other people weren’t to BT since he slipped on the teal-clad tailcoat. But, then again, neither was he.

He lets a few sniffles slip and feints a cough or two to hide the fact that he was on the verge of crying. “I’ve disappointed a lot of people, Hein. I don’t think they like BT very much anymore.” He grazes a gloved hand along Hein’s cheek, his voice faltering at the last handful of syllables.

“I don’t know if you can understand me, but I’m really happy to see you. At least I know I haven’t let one person down…”

He tilts his head, but quickly bats at the coattail when it moves, like a cat. "N ew.. Su i t..! Pret t y!"

"Hh yeah, it's pretty." He straightens up and moves his coattails behind him. "I think I could find you a real toy if you wanted to play, though."

He's happy with the nuzzling, and purrs in content and closes his eyes to hug the other closer. After a few licks to his cheek, he listens to what BT has to say. He loves BT a lot. He's always so kind and nice, and makes him feel accepted. "Ye s! Hei n mis s e s BT..!" He said happily, nuzzling up against the other shortly after with an even louder purr. "BT... Is fr i e n d!"

“…Ha haha…” The sincerity in Hein’s voice was reassuring. No one “missed” BT anymore. They pined for his wealth and his paid notice to his reputation as a successful businessman. Losing friends and gaining admirers had been the single downside to the high life, since he found himself alone in his office more often than not. Even his husband seemed distant.

He throws his arms around Hein’s neck, burying his fingers into a wave of hair. His fingers gingerly scratch and rub at his scalp; a calming gesture if nothing else. “That’s… really nice to hear. I don’t have a lot of friends anymore. I’m too busy for them.” A lump in his throat threatens an emotional breakdown, but he swallows hard and thumbs away the tears that pricked the corners of his eyes. “Hein… Do you think I’m bad?”

He looks up, then smiles happily, almost oblivious. "He l lo Som m y..!"

"Er, hey." He twists around, giving the other a look. "Do you mind, bud?"
