Memphis was in over their head. They hadn’t been home in over 5 years, and they left on not the best terms either. They didn’t say goodbye to a single soul, nor did they really want to either. Phi’s mother had kicked them out without a second thought and they knew that in that moment this wasn’t home anymore so they took off for the east coast.

Memphis swore up and down to never return. Unfortunately tragedy struck and Memphis’s sister was killed, and the one person that would ever bring them home was her. They packed up a small suit case, and headed off back home. Small towns were really never their strong suit but they headed to the local diner, plopped down and pulled out their sketch book and drew until someone walked up. Without even looking up, “A Coke please.” A barely audible voice left their mouth, something however told them to look up. “Shit.” Was all they could say.

Memphis stood there, their heart racing; ready to beat out their chest. It was true, since the two had met the connection between them was unmatched. There was always something there that made memphis feel safe, and Andi was that person for them. Words though never really comfortable to them, a surge of something ran through him. "I-I...I don't.." Memphis muttered out trying to figure out what exactly it was they were feeling, but everything stopped for memphis as they channeled this inner confidence that so many people had been helping memphis muster, and leaned in and gently placed his lips upon Andi's lips. This was what they wanted to do for so long and they were ready for this now.

Memphis would do exactly just that, they would shut Andi out, and would do it over and over again cause Memphis 98% of the time truly didn’t think that they deserved even the softest bit of kindness from anyone. “Andi—“ Memphis whispered as they looked down at them. “You can’t promise that.” They said a crack in their voice as they spoke. “You can’t know that—“ Memphis hitched a breath, “you can’t know that you’ll always be there.” Even though that’s all Memphis ever wanted to hear.

It was Memphis worst nightmare; not only were they sent out for the most specifically needed things, that his escort roommate had asked for, now they were being spoken to, and they didn’t know what to do. Memphis cleared their throat as the other fully asked them a question, that Memphis was not prepared for. It would be a moment like this when being not terrified of everything around them would be fantastic but, none of his safe people were around and all they could do was stare. Stare and hope that the person would either ask the question again…and maybe they’d get the courage to speak, or would just walk away.

Today was not that day for Memphis to be brave, but they cleared their throat again and just above a whisper. “What?” They had no idea if this person even knew them, or of them, or even if they did know them how they knew them. Too many questions whirled through Memphis’s mind and it was clearly written on their face.

"'You're not alone in this. Take your time; I'll wait." (starla/memphis)

Memphis truly didn't know how to respond, they truly have felt alone their whole life, and since things had beyond gone to shit, they truly had no inclination to stick around they only wanted to feel safe "I don't.." it truly felt like their throat was closing up and everything was sinking around them. 'I don't deserve that." memphis croaked out, this was the first time someone showed them this much kindness.

(Memphis saved an insane amount of money for the two of them to go to disneyland for Blue's birthday.)

[X] (andi/memphis)

(Memphis absolutely found this on Andi's phone and air dropped it to himself to use as blackmail...not that he'd ever need it, but definitely over time has started putting it on things and leaves them around his apartment as a joke.)
