can I get Ruv, sarvente, Hex, and their S/O buying flowers for their mother because it's her birthday. But then they're confused why are they heading to the cemetery and they learned the saddest, heart breaking truth that they lost their mother (and maybe try to comfort them as they fight back tears)
Thanks for the request, I need some other characters to cover, so Mr. Fluffy is going to the time out corner now.
But I might just go back to writing a couple more of Updike after this...
Also, happy holidays. Santa better have gotten you guys a big train set.
Ruv, Sarvente, Hex, and S/O who is bringing flowers to their mother's grave
He doesn't bother with questions or any useless sentences along the way. Throughout the many minutes you walked, he only said "Let's go." right before after he helped you pick out a bouquet.
Though the two of you are dating, he doesn't pick up on your emotions well. But if he did, he could tell you weren't as excited as one should be for this occasion.
But as you lead him to the local cemetery, he kind of wanted to say something. Maybe an "Oh damn," but that wouldn't be appropriate. And it was kind of obvious anyways why you were here.
As you gently laid the flowers on the tomb, Ruv realised that perhaps he wanted to do something rather than say something, but what?
He wasn't all that religious, but he remembers what Sarvente would often say during services: Pray for the dead, and comfort the mourning. Once again, not religious, so praying was right out. But comforting might work.
While you looked down, lost in thought, Ruv suddenly yet slowly gave you what he saw as possibly the most awkward hug ever. Whatever, as long as it's working. It's working, right?
"Thanks, Ruv," you say, leaning into his touch.
It was a bit painful to listen to what Sarvente had to say on the way there. She would talk about how lucky you are to have a mother. Being a direct creation of God, she never got to know what it was like. But it was at least nice to hear about how lovely of a child you are, bringing flowers to honour your mother.
Before you could see the cemetery, however, she could sense it. Being a supernatural being, she could feel a sort of spiritual vibe coming from nearby. Now noticing your face, she now realised those flowers were not going to be left in a vase of water.
"(Y/N), do you have something you need to tell me?" she said once the cemetery was in front of the two of you. You tensed a bit, but you didn't want to leave her without some sort of answer.
"I think you already know."
You kept silent the rest of the way, her not telling you that she's already planning a service in your mother's honour. But then she heard you sniffle.
"Oh, (Y/N) dear." She knelt down to gently hug you, but then sensed something else.
"(Y/N), I can see her," she said. This makes you jolt and look up at her. "You can?"
"Yes," she assures, "and she wishes for me to do something on her behalf.
Raising an arm, she lifts a finger up and gently taps on your nose.
You kind of regret taking Hex with you, or even mentioning what you were doing. He kept going on and on about how excited he was to meet her. Then you felt worse when he compared her to Rich Guy, who Hex saw as a parental figure as well.
"And since you probably already got her a cake, I could bake her my famous banana bread in--" Wait, why did he stop?
What you didn't know was that Hex has an emotion scanning software that's always on. No happiness was detected. He as about to speak up again, until you stopped him.
"I'm sorry, but can you just not talk? I'm not in the mood."
"Okay," he sadly says, sort of dreading what was really going on.
Hex's first assumptions was that she may have been severely ill, but his GPS says the nearest hospital would take at least a two hour walk. But, also according to the GPS, they're approaching a... Oh.
Reading your expressions again, your levels of sadness have only increased as well as a notable amount of annoyance. So as a a change in plans, he decides to wait for a minute before trying to talk again. When you laid the flowers down, you no longer appeared annoyed, so Hex decided to talk again.
But it only spiked your annoyance again as he spoke his best motivational words. This time, Hex was too lost in his own confidence to stop himself.
"I've lost my first friend, and I know for certain that everything gets better eventually." He won't shut up. "All it really takes is a song and a round of basketball to perk u--"
"Stop, Hex!" you snap at him with tears streaming down. "I can't click with your optimism right now! Just..." you couldn't finish as you started crying, too blurry to see anything.
Hex was secretly scrolling through several web pages of info about loss and mourning, desperate to figure out how to fix this. But after a couple of seconds, coming to the conclusion that he just needed to be there, he stopped. Words clearly weren't working.
"Sorry, I just..." you try to speak. Hex slowly goes in for a hug, making sure you don't flinch or otherwise show signs of rejection before fully embracing you. It wasn't comfortable, but you rested your head on his shoulder. "Sorry I yelled at you, it's just too stressful," you finally manage.
"It's okay," Hex replies, patting your head. You look up at him, "are you still going to make that banana bread?"
