Louis and Violet actually did have a fantastic friendship, its just the writers don't know how to write like we fans do, and I'm tired of being quiet about it
Violet and Louis froze. No, they couldn't have heard that right. AJ must be playing some sort of prank on them.
"Uh, heh, we must have heard you wrong," Louis laughs. "Could you um, could you repeat that?"
"Comic Clem left us! She left me!"AJ tried to keep his tears in.
Ok, so they didn't hear that wrong. He really said she left. That didn't make any sense. She just up and left? To where? Why. These were the questions running through Lou and Vi's, as well as all of ours because what the fuck, heads. This can't be true, but AJ doesn't lie, so it has to be. Oh god what the fuck?
Violet felt like she was going to throw up. She felt her whole entire being was vibrating and on fire. Goddamn it, it's happening again. Someone she loved left her, again. The blonde girl felt as if she couldn't breath, that her chest was about to cave in on itself and then turn inside out. Is this a panic attack? Is this what Brody went through? God, Vi is going through a crisis, but damn she has to give some kudos to her late friend for going through this. Violet doesn't know if she can handle another loved one leaving her.
" D-did Comic Clem say why she left?" Vi doesn't know why she asked that, she isn't even sure if she wants to know the answer.
"Something stupid. That she wasn't happy. That we couldn't make her happy." AJ's tears were now freely flowing down his cheeks, the anguish being too much.
Not happy? How could she not have been happy? Was all the laughter and smiles at Louis's jokes fake? All those times where she said she was happy to him were all lies? Louis needed to sit down. The dreadhead feels like he's about to faint. His chest felt tight, and kept getting tighter as time went on. Comic Clem left because she wasn't happy, they didn't try hard enough to make her happy. Louis felt like it was his fault. That was basically his thing, making people happy, and he failed. Oh god he was gonna throw up.
"Did I do a bad?" AJ's heartbroken voice broke through their thoughts. "Did Comic Clem leave because of me?"
Oh god, ok, they feel pity for themselves alter, but right now there is a crying six year old that needed them. "What? No no, that's, that's not it at all." Louis bent down to get face to face with the young boy.
Violet pulled AJ into a half hug. "Yeah, none of this is your fault. At all."
AJ kept crying because his heart hurty. "Then why did she leave? Why did Comic Clem leave and say I couldn't make her happy here."
Violet and Louis looked at each other, having a silent conversation. Best friend telepathic communication has its perks. They used their brain power to figure out how to cheer AJ up and to see this isn't his fault.
"Hey, little dude, look at us ok," The blonde girl kneels down next to Louis making eye contact with the child. "This isn't your fault, alright? You've done all that you could have, and that's what matters. You did your job. And nothing about this is your fault whatsoever." Violet says making sure AJ knows he shouldn't hold any guilt, wishing these were the words told to her for years.
Louis stand up eruptly with a determined look on his face. "Alright, you know what, we're your parents now."
AJ wipes his eyes. "Huh?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with the kid. What?"
"You heard me. It makes sense," The dreadhead grins. "He's young so he needs parent figures, we're the closest people to him. We work together and become his parents."
Violet looked at Louis. "Dude, I'm gay."
"No, I know! Not like that! I meant platonically. I know you're a lesbian disaster, and I have absolutely no romantic feels for you, at all. No offense."
"None taken. Relived actually."
"But yeah, I mean, we as friends, take care of the little man, so he doesn't feel….sad."
The blonde girl looks back at AJ, who still had tears in his eyes, less so than before, but he also had a bit of hope. Goddamn it, she can't say no to that. She looks back at Louis, who had the puppy dog eyes. Ah jeez, now she definitely can't say no. Don't tell no ome, but Vi has a soft spot for AJ and Louis, shhh, you ain't hear it from me. The blonde girl sighs.
"Fine, we'll friendship parent."
"Hell yeah." Louis fist pumped
"Really?" AJ asked wanting to make sure this was really real. "You mean that?"
"Yeah, we mean it."
The smile that appeared on the young boy's face was bright enough that it could light up a mansion. "Does that mean I can call you guys mom and dad?"
"Fuck yeah you can!"
"Oh god I'm a teen mom now."
He ran forward, and hugged both Louis and Violet around their waist, before running off, finding new found excitement for the world. His mind is off Comic Clementine leaving, and is now on how he has new family to look after him.
"Lou?"
"Yeah, Vi?"
"Will we be ok?"
Louis takes a moment to answer, wondering that she exact thing. "I don't know. Maybe."
"....I can work with maybe."
"Yeah," Louis sighs. "Are you ok? With the whole….everything?"
Vi looks towards the sky, taking a deep breath. "Maybe."
"I can work with maybe." Louis grins as he tugs the lapels of his coat.
The blonde snorts, though she trues to hide it. "Shut up you idiot."
"Ah, it got you to laugh, I'm doing my job."
"How about yoy take the job of kissing my ass."
"I thought you were gay."
Violet slaps a palm to his face. "Oh my god."
"Also what ass."
"Oh my god!"
Louis laughs as he runs back towards the school doors because Violet was chasing him, probably to kill him, but hey, better than crying.
