Broken and alone.

Those are the only words that could be used to describe Ceiling-chan. Aiden and those girls left her destroyed. What was the point of trying anymore? She was forever alone. Nobody could even consider loving her, all she is a passing thought, the last choice. Why would anyone pick her. She wouldn't pick herself either.

She layed there despairing, no hope for her life to get any better. It's not like she deserves it anyways. But then she saw him. A cute tree. She wanted to talk to him. But would he even want a girl like her? He's even cuter than Aiden was and the blonde didn't even look her way why would this guy even think about her?

He made eye contact with her and started to make his way over to her. W-What?! Why was he approaching her, was it just to make fun of her and how lonely she is?

"H-Hey there." He says shyly looking down at the floor (could he be any cuter?). "M-My names Tree-kun. What's your name?" He asked with a small smile on his face. Why was he talking to her, though? Maybe she was in the way of something that he needed or he wanted to ask her something.

A few seconds passed before she realised he was waiting for a response. "My name is C-Ceiling-chan." Muttering nervously. "Is there anything you need?"

In response all she got was a confused look. "I, um, no I-I just" she watched as he fumbled over his words. "I wanted to ask you out." He gave her a nervous smile.

"You wanted to ask me on a date?"

"W-Well yes" she couldn't believe it someone actually asked her on a date but why? The question plauged her mind and before she could stop herself she asked "Why?"

"Why, what?" He asked. "Why would you want to date me?" She finished the sentence for him. Did she make a mistake? Will he no longer want to date her anymore? Did she ruin the chances of dating the one person who could love her? "Well, I want to date you because I think you're beautiful-" beautiful? "And you seem nice so I thought I would take a chance." Tree-kun looked at her hopefully before quickly adding "I-It's completely fine if you don't want to date me though. I would understand, I mean alot of people don't find themselves sticking around me because I tend to ramble alot and-" She cut off his adorable rambling.

"I would love to go on a date with you"

It was a beautiful day. The sun shining, not a cloud to be seen. Tree-kun was out buying a birthday present for Ceiling-chan, her birthday was just around the corner and he couldn't wait for it. He had so much stuff planned for them. But first he needs to buy her an amazing gift. Walking around the corner, he scanned for a good shop to buy the gift. Ceiling-chan loves Stardew Valley (he's never played the game himself, but she keeps on begging him to get it) maybe he could get her something related to-

Wait. Who's that? Is that Tyler? And who was that boy he was with? Hang on, are they... holding hands?!

He couldn't help but stare in shock at the happy couple. What should he do? Deep down he knew that he should just walk pass them, Tyler isn't a part of his life anymore he doesn't matter. But... what would happen if he talked to them? He could learn more about this new boy that Tyler's talking to. Maybe he could warn him about Tyler leaving him. The blonde looked like he was shy, yeah he's gotta help him.

Luckily, Tyler wondered off most likely to get food but Tree-kun couldn't help but be reminded of how Tyler left him. Standing by himself, alone. He wouldn't let this boy suffer the same heart break.

"Hey there!" He made his way over to the boy who now stared at him confused, did Tyler not tell him about Tree-kun? Okay... that's fine. It's not like it matters anyways. "I'm Tree-kun, Tyler's ex." The last part was spat out bitterly. The boys eyes widen in surprise before looking blankly at him.

"I'm Logan, Tyler's boyfriend." While saying this a smirk was plastered on Logan's lips. Is he... proud to be Tyler's boyfriend? It's so clear that the poor boy doesn't know what's coming and he probably won't know how to deal with the breakup. "Is there a reason why you came over."

Clearing his throat he started to speak slowly as he tries to convey that he only wants to help him and he's not trying to ruin their relationship (not like he would have to do something anyways). "I'm just here to warn you" Logan raises an eyebrow questioningly "about Tyler." He clarifies, feeling Logan's judgemental eyes digging into him, he tries to carry on his speak (hopefully) maintaining the confidence he started this conversation with. "He's not a good guy. Tyler he can easily leave you whenever he wants to. A-And he won't give a shit about your feelings. I think that you should... breakup with him and find someone better so he won't hurt you."

Tree-kun expected to have to comfort the blonde about this revelation, but instead all he was greeted with was laughter. W-Was he laughing at him?! Immediately he felt self-conscious, hugging himself slightly he waited for Logan to finish his laughing fit. "Please tell me your joking." Logan manages to say between laughs. "Maybe you just had that experience because he never actually liked you."

"W-What do you m-mean?" He was stuttering, feeling his face burn with shame and embarrassment. Was his and Tyler's whole relationship nothing but a joke? Something to entertain Tyler? "W-Well if he never liked me then he definitely doesn't like you!"

A small chuckle escapes Logan "Yeah and what evidence do you have to base this on."

"I-I, um, listen I-" logan raises a hand quickly silencing Tree-kun.

"It's clear the reason why you're doing this. It's because you're jealous that Tyler moved on from you so quickly, but the truth is Tyler never liked you. He never wanted to spend time with you. You two only known eachother for what, a night? And then he left you." Logan's stare is cold and hard "He couldn't even bare to spend anymore time with you. Yet he never seems to have this problem with me, so maybe you're the problem"

Tree-kun quickly tried to defend himself "It didn't matter that it was just one night, we were in love!"

Logan scoffed "In love? You can't fall in love in just one night. And how was your relationship love? From what I've been told all you ever did was talk." Tree-kun was about to interrupt Logan's cruel accusations, but the shorter boy carried on. "Thank you for the meaningless warning, but why don't you leave before you embarrass yourself even more."

At that Logan began to walk in the direction that Tyler went. Watching the two boys meet and share a quick kiss as Tyler hands Logan some food. He turned around and began speed walking away after he made eye contact with Tyler. Maybe he could buy Ceiling-chan's gift another day

[womp-womp-waa]

To say Tree-kun was upset is an understatement. Logan humiliated him all because he wanted to help him. Why did he bother? He didn't even get Ceiling-chan's birthday present, what kind of boyfriend is he?

Immediately after he got home, he flopped onto hid bed and got out his phone and started texting Ceiling-chan in hopes for some comfort.

Tree-kun: Ceiling-chan you there?

Ceiling-chan: Ye how was your shopping? Xx

Tree-kun: Bad.

Ceiling-chan: What happened???

Tree-kun: Just come over here, please

Ceiling-chan hearted the message in response so he discarded his phone to the side. While he waited for Ceiling-chan to come over he got into a very intense staring contest with the ceiling.

Once knocking came from the door he begrudgingly rose from his bed to welcome Ceiling-chan into his house. What he was greeted with was her beautiful face covered in worry. Guilt shot through him. Would it have been better if he just didn't say anything? His heart ached as he saw how worried he made her.

Within seconds of him opening the door, Ceiling-chan wrapped her arms around him, rubbing circles into his back. Without a second thought Tree-kun dragged Ceiling-chan over to his bed.

Immediately he layed down again and soon afterwards Ceiling-chan joined him. Wrapping her arms around him once more, her fingers playing with his hair.

They stayed silent. It wasn't an awkward silence like he expected it to be, since most of their dates were spent with endless chatter. It was easy to tell after their first couple of dates that Ceiling-chan had alot of stories to tell. Tree-kun didn't mind, he loved to hear Ceiling-chan's voice. Eventually though, the comfortable silence was broken with the question that Tree-kun knew was coming but still dreaded it anyways. "So, what happened?"

It was amazing how soft and calming she could make her voice if she wanted to. Her hands still soothing him. "W-Well... I was just shopping and I saw Tyler and his new boyfriend."

Ceiling-chan knew about Tyler just like how he knew about Aiden. How both of their hearts were shattered because of them. Her face grew more concerned and slightly angry, he hoped that anger wasn't targeted at him.

"And t-then Tyler left so I thought I would warn his new boyfriend about Tyler." Ceiling-chan nodded, urging him to continue. "A-And he was just... horrible to me. So m-mean just-" He was cut off with a sob as Ceiling-chan hushed him.

Warmth surrounded him. No matter how upset he felt remember the day, his girlfriend would always be able to calm him down, to comfort him. She whispered reassurances to him until he eventually fell asleep in his lovers arms.
