Silver’s thoughts on everyone cause why not?

Scar: “Very dear friend! Has gone through so much, I wish I had been there sooner or at least be able to be there more. He deserves it.”

Sleepy: “Ah such a sweet chi-boy! Of course snappy tongue but it’s more of a way of attempting to push people away before they hurt him again. I will keep him safe no matter what.”

Amy: “Angel! One of the few people I can fully talk to at times, Scar digs to deep and Sleepy gets too frowny. Angel is one friend I pray enjoys me back.”

Mel: “It’s…complicated. She is complicated.”

Pip: “I want to kill him with my bare hands. Strangle his life his from eyes. He deserves nothing but burning searing pain.”

C0PP5R: “Why.”

[mars2moons]

"I-I remember only the worst things! Like, how Cain always had a black eye, and how mom always yelled!! That's- that's not how I want to remember.."

He grimaced and buries his head against Silver's chest, sniffling and sobbing.

"I can't remember them like that. They aren't only bad. I know they're not!!"

The canary rambles, his voice slightly whiny.

-💤

I hum gently, carting my fingers through his hair. Giving him a tight hug in return.

“Sleepy, that is understandable, you know the good parts exist but you just can’t remember them right? All you see are just flashes of the bad things you wish to forget.”

(Of course you would know that S!lv3r)

“Is that how you feel?”

[mars2moons]

After a few minutes of Sleepy just crying, accepting the comfort, he finally musters up some words to say.

"I-I can't remember my mom's name, Silver!! My own mom! Or what she looks like, or how Cain looks like- I can't remember anything! Why don't I remember?!"

He looks up at them, trying to find the answer in their expression. Silver looks sad. Was that his fault? There he goes again, upsetting his friends, just like he'd done to Scar. He must be a bad friend.

"I can't remember..."

-💤

I frown and gently wipe his tear ridden face with careful hands, I wasn’t upset not at him, not like this.

I wasn’t sure what to say but I was going to try.

“Star…you remember your mother correct? And your brother? You may not know what they look like, or even one of their names but you do remember their touch, how they laughed, or even what they smelled like, yes?”

I stop drying his face and simply let my hand rest on his cheek cradling his head.

“Then you do remember them.”

[mars2moons]

Sleepy leans forward and wraps his arms around Silver in a tight hug, sobbing into their shoulder. He doesn't immediately speak, but when he does, his voice is shaky and high pitched.

"I can't remember!! Silver, I can't!!"

-💤

I blink and just as quickly return the hug landing on the ground to curl my arm over his head, trying to protect him from anything unseen.

“Oh my poor star…”

I whisper gently, carefully using my other hand to rub circles on his back. I couldn’t ask him what he meant, not like this, not right now.

He just needed someone to cry too, and no being could separate me from him right now.

[mars2moons]

Coming straight from the void, Sleepy teleports himself right in front of Silver, catching them by surprise.

The canary looks sort of pathetic, his lip quivering and tears already streaming down his cheeks. He just stands there and stares at Silver, silent aside from his sniffling. He doesn't know what to say. All he knew was that he needed them.

-💤

I let out a gasp of surprise and concern quickly flying down to his level my hands just inches from my face not yet touching him just in case.

“Oh dear oh dear, Sleepy what happened? Are you hurt?”

My tone was gentle and the question of “can I touch you?” Was left hanging in the air.
