[9:52 PM] sbubby: [ One eyelight fades, now just showing that red and yellow singular eyelight, flashing and glowing brighter at the demands, smoothing a hand up the other's spine, then holding onto it, dragging his fingertips down the bone there, between the vertebrae... and he hisses out a breath, arching his back as he rams him harder against the sink, hungry for the other's expressions and bossy tone, unable to get enough. ]

:black_small_square:️ oohh, mmm baby, you're so loud and mean.
:black_small_square:️ ffuck...! you feel so good on my cock!!
:black_small_square:️ just use me like this, call on me just to take my come, officer.... i love it your bossiness~

[ He swallows hard, before bringing both hands to grip onto Boss's forearms, leaning over him and resting his face against the other's shoulderblade, bucking and grinding before he finally hits release, his entire body shuddering hard, jolting as his cock spurts out a heavy load of warm red ecto, splattering that slit and some of the counter, too, oops. ]
[10:22 PM] Boss: [His soul pulses in sync with that flashing eyelight, not out of fear, but rather excitement. It wasn't exactly the ferocity that the monster on top of him oozed that got him feeling so wet, though he does squirm and kick a bit at the treatment to his spine, but rather the fact that this power was his to control. Those words only seem to confirm it, and even though he's the one being roughly fucked against a bathroom sink, Snaps is still his to use and command as he pleased.]
"Y-YES, THAT'S RIGHT!"
"FILL ME UP, GIVE ME EVERY LAST DROP."
"YOUR COCK BELONGS TO MY CUTE PUSSY"
[It's that weight against his back that has him suddenly clenching down hard, his entire body going ridge as he feels gush after gush of warmth fill him, and he can't help letting out a near squeaky moan as his bones quake and shiver in his climax, trying to milk that cock dry. His head is thrown back in a silent scream, joints rattling together before he collapses back onto the counter, looking completely spent as he just lays there breathing heavily and dripping red ecto.]
[10:41 PM] sbubby: [ Getting milked like this for his release has him squeaking out a bit, before he collapses down as well, panting hard and laughing a little, suddenly pulling out with a horribly wet sticky sound, making a mess on the other's legs and the floor... ]

:black_small_square:️ hoooh man... that was fun, huh?
:black_small_square:️ i love that you're adopting the word 'cute' for yourself, officer.
:black_small_square:️ but maybe it doesn't suit you super well after all.

[ HE'S STILL BEING AN ASS, WHAT IS SNAPS' PROBLEM-- he's dissipating his ecto quickly, starting to pull his pants up. ]

:black_small_square:️ guess i'll leave you to it, you don't need me around for this part, right? better to just leave in a hurry, right?

[ Oh man, someone is fucking bitter. ]
[10:55 PM] Boss: [Just as soon as he reaches his high he's suddenly crashing down, those words giving his soul a horrible sting as he's left feeling empty and alone all too quickly. He's shaky and sore, but he pushes himself up off the sink top, turning to look at Snaps with an expression that looks to young for someone his age, like a child left to fend for themselves in the harshness of a Fell timeline. It's gone just as quickly as his orgasm, however, replaced with that darkened look of pure anger and loathing, and he's already pushing himself against a wall, feeling disgusted with how naked and vulnerable he's left with come still dripping from between his legs.]
"GET OUT."
[11:01 PM] sbubby: [ Usually, snaps would... but this time he doesn't, just standing there looking bitter, unable to remove the smile stuck to his face. ]
:black_small_square:️ oh so it's okay for you to walk out on me, but i can't do the same? where's the fairness there, boss.
[ He absolutely caught that look, and in a way... he enjoyed it, but that was for another time. ]
:black_small_square:️ it's fun to use me but it's happened twice now.
:black_small_square:️ you just... leave and you don't tell me why.
:black_small_square:️ it hurts, doesn't it, boss???
[ he spreads his arms, turning his head in irritation. ]
:black_small_square:️ guess you thought "whatever, he doesn't matter! he's just snaps, the stupid slut, who cares if i leave him or not", right?
:black_small_square:️ i guess so.
:black_small_square:️ who cares right.
[11:15 PM] Boss: [He's just pressing himself more and more against that wall, feeling his soul sink with his body, and he hears the other's words but they all don't exactly sink in. He needs to leave, to get away again, but his legs suddenly feel to weak to even hold him up properly, let alone carry him away from this pain. They curl up against his chest as he sits on the cold tiled floor, hugging his knees and just feeling so utterly used.]
"YOU MADE YOUR POINT."
"YOU GOT ME BACK."
"YOU'RE RIGHT."
"NOW CAN YOU JUST... LEAVE."
[11:23 PM] sbubby: [ snaps stares at him, then sighs, scratching at his skull, neck, before just. Sitting. In the tub. Facing the wall, away from Boss, pulling his hood tightly over his head, drawstrings pulled to close himself off. ]
[11:39 PM] Boss: [It doesn't seem like he's going to be allowed what he wants, especially now that Snaps is in the tub, just desiring a cold shower right now. His mind is starting to feel frantic, and it only makes him curl up on himself tighter, the sound of his bones softly rattling the only sound in he silence between them. He had thought he would never feel this way again, the situation almost a reminisce of his childhood.]
[11:43 PM] sbubby: [ it's not totally silent-- snaps is muttering nonsense to himself as he rocks back and forth a little, tying his drawstrings up into his fingers, a ball of baggy clothing, he lowers his hooded head further, repeatind lyrics, curses, self deprecating things... and then he's just hitting his head over and over with his fists, a perfect drum beat if it weren't so destructive. ]

November 23, 2017
[12:00 AM] Boss: [It's only making him more anxious, making him to just put as much distance between himself and the other as possible, to gorge out the part of his soul that allows him to hear so he'll never have to experience another sound again. There's no satisfaction that comes with watching Snaps hurt himself, he never wanted to hurt him to begin with, and he'd almost yell at him to stop if he wasn't actually afraid of what else he might do to him. Instead Boss just stares blankly, feeling the walls close in on him as he realizes he's trapped in more than just this room.]
"WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE...?"
[He's not even sure if Snaps can hear him, not with how almost quiet that normally boisterous voice sounds.]
"IF YOUR GOAL WAS TO HURT ME BY ABANDONING ME,"
"THEN YOU'RE NOT REALLY PROVING YOUR POINT."
[12:03 AM] sbubby: [ he scratches at his head, through his hoodie, though luckily the fabric is too thick to get through....so instead he just grabs bunches of it, squeezing it, feeling the fabric, then he starts to feel the walls, flattening his hands against the surface, trying to focus on tactile sensations. it's.........not really working. and he bites hard on his tongue, huffing out breath. ]
:black_small_square: shhutupshutupshutupshutup
[ more grabbing onto his head again, a few more hits. ]
:black_small_square: nononoi dont want to crawl back to himmm it was amistake it was a mistake i'msorryi'msorry i was angry i was just angry don't kickme out
[12:12 AM] Boss: [It's hard to tell if Snaps is even talking to him or just mumbling to himself, and it only makes Boss shrink back again, glancing away to focus on a wall instead. Perhaps he didn't say the right thing. He knew in situations like these there was always those special words that oiled the chain, swallowing hard as he forces himself to ask them, even if he doesn't want to know the answer.]
"WHAT... DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"
[12:15 AM] sbubby: [ he swallows hard, audibly, biting on his hood... and he's still muttering.. until he finally speaks loud enough ]
:black_small_square: what'd i do why didn't you stay why'd you leave so fast what'd i do this time why couldn'tyou just tell me i'm so stupid i'm so fucking stupid you make me feel so sssss.....!!!!
:black_small_square: [ he shakes, squeezing the hood's fabric tightly again. ]
:black_small_square: didnt!! think! about it just!!! wanted you to feel like shit like you made me feel and you didn't care at all you just left again even though you said you WOULDN'T leave again!!!
:black_small_square: is it fun??? is it fucking fun????
:black_small_square: is this fun??????
[12:35 AM] Boss: [He visibly flinches at the outburst, and there's a wall of bones around him in an instant, as if he expected to be struck attacked. They stay up as he just sits there, protective, like when he had broken his rib the very same day all this even occurred.]
"I... THOUGHT YOU WERE MAD ABOUT ME LEAVING THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE I EMBARRASSED YOU."
"I DIDN'T THINK YOU ACTUALLY... CARED, IF I LEFT."
"I DIDN'T THINK ANY OF THIS ACTUALLY BOTHERED OR MATTERED TO YOU."
[It sounds like he's being vindictive, but it's the truth, his truth at least, having not seen it as a big deal at the time.]
"IT HADN'T BEEN MY INTENT..."
"I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO TALK."
[12:39 AM] sbubby: :black_small_square: whwhh????
:black_small_square: why.?? wouldn't--
[ his voice cracks and he pulls his hood down hard, able to scratch at his skull better now ]
:black_small_square: mmmfff---fffuck. fuck!!
:black_small_square: cause!! i like you!! a lot! what do you think???
:black_small_square: it hurt! okay! it hurt! i did something else and i didn't know what it was and you just left again and it hurt!
:black_small_square: i wanted you to understand but you don't understand at all and now you hate me too and i feel worse than before.
:black_small_square: ssssomuch worse. sshhhh......
[ he moves onto his hoodie, squeezing it in many different places. ]
:black_small_square: things were going sso good and now they're all bad they're allll all bad because of mme i''m just a screwup i should just
:black_small_square: gobewith.....
[ he shakes his head, and throws on his hoodie again. he still can't face Boss. he sniffs hard. ]
[12:57 AM] Boss: [He can't looks at Snaps either, knees pressed to his face as he mumbles against his femurs.]
"I DIDN'T KNOW."
"I STILL DON'T KNOW."
"NO ONE'S EVER CARED BEFORE, AND-"
"YOU'RE RIGHT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND."
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY TO YOU."
"I THOUGHT YOU JUST WANTED SOME SEX AND COMPANIONSHIP."
"WHAT DOES THE REST OF IT MATTER?"
"YOU HURT ME TOO, BEFORE..."
"JUST LIKE YOU HURT ME NOW."
"BUT NONE OF THAT SHOULD MATTER TO YOU."
"EVEN IF YOU LIKE ME A LOT."
"SO LONG AS YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT,"
"WHY SHOULD IT MATTER?"
[12:59 AM] sbubby: [ He starts to shake and he covers his face with both hands, then folds his arms on his knees, burying his face there. He just. Shivers and squeaks pathetically. ]
[1:00 AM] sbubby: :black_small_square:️ ...i wanted to be besties...
[1:02 AM] sbubby: :black_small_square:️... 'm sorry.
:black_small_square:️'f hurting you.
:black_small_square:️ again and again.
:black_small_square:️... wanted to. prove something but i'm too freaking stupid.
[1:03 AM] sbubby: :black_small_square:️ it's not supposed to hurt like this and i don't know what to do!!!!
[ He suddenly hits the wall, but then holds his hand...it hurt. ]
:black_small_square:️ i got so pathetic ffuck me
[1:31 AM] Boss: [He swallow, quietly staring at the other, and he feels pretty foolish now hearing it played back to him, when everything had been told to him up front, but once again he let his convoluted instincts distort his point of view. Because he just couldn't actually believe someone actually liked him for any other reason that to use him.]
"I... DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SERIOUS..."
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE PROJECTING AT THE TIME."
"I THOUGHT... YOU WERE JUST SAYING A LOT OF THOSE THINGS."
"TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD AND KEEP ME AROUND."
"I DIDN'T ACTUALLY THINK YOU..."
[This entire time he had been too caught up in protecting all his pieces that he hadn't realized there wasn't a war to begin with.]
"I DIDN'T TRUST YOU."
"AND THAT'S NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING YOU HAD DONE."
"I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, AND I THINK MAYBE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CARE FOR SOMEONE, OR HAVE THEM CARE FOR ME."
"THAT'S MY FAULT, I SUPPOSE."
[1:37 AM] sbubby: [ more pathetic squeaks, and he's crying into his sleeves, gripping his hood, shaking hard. He was pretty new to a lot, too, especially actually caring about himself... He's trying so hard to stop feeling but it's impossible. ]

:black_small_square:️ hh--hh
:black_small_square:️ it hurts so much i didn't want to
:black_small_square:️ lose you too
:black_small_square:️ and now i'm going to
:black_small_square:️ i'm sorry for being an asshole
:black_small_square:️ i really did have fun with you it wasn't all me being an ass im sorry I'm sorry I'm sorryy...(edited)
[1:41 AM] Boss: [He doesn't move from his spot, but he shifts slight.y, glancing away again as he digs his claws into his knee caps.]
"DO YOU..."
"WANT TO TAKE A BATH?"
"WITH ME?"
[9:32 AM] sbubby: [ There's silence and. he just. nods a little, turning to pull himself out of the tub, sitting on the floor. ]
[12:11 PM] Boss: [It takes a lot of strength, but he manages to pull himself up on shaky legs, his body protesting movement even as he slides past Snaps and over towards the tub. Warm water slowly begins to fill basin, crimson eye lights watching it in silence as he sits tenderly on the edge, and there's still something that's bothering him that he isn't sure if he should ask or not...]
"WAS THIS..."
"THE REASON YOU CAME OVER TONIGHT?"
[12:28 PM] sbubby: [ Snaps flinches a bit, tracing patterns on the floor. ]

:black_small_square:️ i came for sex and i still i was mad sorry

[ his voice is so muttery, not at all like usual. He's still kinda rocking. ]

:black_small_square:️ i wanted to make a point that's what i'm used to when someone fucks up you gotta rub their nose in it that's what you do
:black_small_square:️ but then you jjust
:black_small_square:️ it didn't play out how it was supposed to

[ bites on his gloves. ]
[12:44 PM] Boss: [Silence follows again as he just stares at the water, listening to Snaps words in a bit of a daze. Finally he just, gives a small nod, mostly to himself. It seemed they both needed to learn how to communicate a bit better.]
"OKAY."
[It's the only response he has to say, turning off the tap once the tub is filled enough, before slipping inside.]
"... YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF, FIRST."
[12:54 PM] sbubby: [ He almost just. Gets in, but at the other's words he stops and starts taking off his clothes.... Yanking and pulling, jerking before he's finally nude. And. Then he carefully gets into the tub with him, at the opposite end, biting on his fingers. ]
[12:55 PM] sbubby: :black_small_square:️ i didn't expect you to make that face
:black_small_square:️ it threw me off
:black_small_square:️ thought you'd just hit me or yell at me and we'd have it out
[1:08 PM] Boss: [The fact that Snaps has seen such a vulnerable part of him just makes him want to curl up again, his long legs already bent awkwardly in the small tub, and he can't look at the other again.]
"... I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE MAD ABOUT SOMETHING."
"I THOUGHT YOU HAD GOTTEN WHAT YOU WANTED FROM ME AND YOU WERE..."
"I WAS MAD, BUT I WAS ALSO..."
"I WAS ALSO..."
[He picks up a sponge suddenly and just starts to roughly scrub his bones, seeming to have no intention of finishing any of his sentences.]
[1:11 PM] sbubby: [ He watches that rough scrubbing, and he tries to frown--but he can't, physically, so he just covers his face a bit. ]

:black_small_square:️ i don't think ahead. i just do it.
:black_small_square:️ it was bad and stupid. im bad and stupid.
[ Another sigh. He starts to cup water and pour it on his face ]
:black_small_square:️ i feel really shitty for hurting you.
:black_small_square:️... guess that makes me anti now.
[1:18 PM] Boss: [He focuses hard on his pelvis, trying to scrub off a ghost, the water turning a light pink around them as he nearly rubs the bone raw.]
"... DON'T SAY THAT."
"NEVER SAY THAT."
"THIS IS DIFFERENT."
"YOU COMPARE EVERYTHING TO ANTI AND TERRI TOO MUCH."
"IT'S LIKE YOUR ONLY CONCEPTION OF BAD AND GOOD."
[1:19 PM] sbubby: [ snaps looks up at him, eyes wide. ]


:black_small_square:️... aren't they?

[ He sounds genuine. He looks... Confused. ]
[1:25 PM] Boss: [The scrubbing stops momentarily as he looks up at Snaps, staring silently for a moment, before turning his attention to cleaning his legs.]
"IT DOESN'T MATTER."
[1:26 PM] sbubby: [ He hugs his knees, putting his face on them ]
:black_small_square:️ please talk to me
[1:29 PM] Boss: [He doesn't look at him again, just continues scrubbing.]
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?"
[1:34 PM] sbubby: :black_small_square:️ anything?
:black_small_square:️ everything
:black_small_square:️ what did i do before
:black_small_square:️ do you hate me?
:black_small_square:️ berate me?
:black_small_square:️ the quiet is too loud
[1:40 PM] Boss: [For a long moment he doesn't respond, just cleaning himself, before suddenly there's a huff as he squeezes out the sponge and just looks at Snaps.]
"... YOU MADE ME REALIZE THERE'S NO PLACE IN YOUR LIFE FOR ME."
[1:41 PM] sbubby: [ His eyes widen quite a bit, and his mouth just. Hangs open. ]

:black_small_square:️???? hh?
[1:45 PM] Boss: [He squeezes the sponge hard, his claws ripping the soft material.]
"IT'S ALWAYS ANTI OR TERRI."
"I'M ALWAYS ONE OR THE OTHER."
"DEPENDING ON YOUR MOOD."
"THERE'S NO ME, THOUGH."
"YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE ME FOR WHO I AM."
"YOU LIKE ME FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE YOU SEE IN ME."
[1:47 PM] sbubby: :black_small_square:️....?? that's
:black_small_square:️ that's not what i meant...???

:black_small_square:️ it
:black_small_square:️ it was a compliment cause he's.

[ bite bite bite ]

:black_small_square:️ hhhhhhhh. i do like you! FUCK MAN??

:black_small_square:️ I FREAKING CAN'T GET you outta my mind.

[ He holds his head, scratching at his skull, leaving clear marks. ]

:black_small_square:️ you're boss!! you're fucking amazing and cool and i have no frame of fucking reference cause nobody else is real!!!
[2:13 PM] Boss: [Hands suddenly seize Snaps' wrists, pulling them away and forcing them to stop scratching at his head, having to arch almost uncomfortably across the tub.]
"NO MORE OF THAT."
"YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF IF YOU KEEP THAT UP."
[He takes Snaps' hands in his own, holding them, squeezing them, letting the other feel the texture of his joints in hopes it'll soothe him.]
"I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT, BUT."
"I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND."
"I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND. I'M NOT YOUR BEST FRIEND."
"BUT MAYBE SOMEDAY I CAN BE."
"WHEN YOU STOP MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO LIVE UP TO SOMEONE ELSE."
"I'VE BEEN COMPARED TO MY BROTHER MY WHOLE LIFE."
"AND IT WAS ONLY WHEN I JOINED THE ROYAL GUARD THAT PEOPLE STARTED SEEING ME AS SOMEONE ELSE."
"AS MORE THAN JUST SANS' LITTLE BROTHER."
"I'M NOT GOING BACK TO LIVING IN ANOTHER PERSON'S SHADOW."
"NOT FOR ANYONE."
[2:21 PM] sbubby: [ The texture does help, and he smoothes his fingers over it, squeezing and bringing his face down on their hands ]

:black_small_square:️ mmm mmm. mmm... hhh.
:black_small_square:️ ok
:black_small_square:️ ok ok ok
:black_small_square:️ m sorry
:black_small_square:️ didn't mean anything by it
:black_small_square:️ i wanna be friends.
[2:38 PM] Boss: [A soft sigh, before he leans down and gives the other's skull a slight kiss.]
"I KNOW."
"IT'S FINE."
"I... OVERREACTED."
"LIKE I SAID, AT THE TIME, I... DIDN'T THINK IT MATTERED."
"BUT I WAS CLEARLY WRONG."
"I'LL... TRY HARDER."
[2:40 PM] sbubby: [ he'll have to think more on the other's words, it's hard to think right now. ]

[ He nods and scoots closer, though still hunched. ]

:black_small_square:️ can i. sit in your arms. please
[2:44 PM] Boss: [Eye sockets close, before he gives a nod, moving to sit back on his side of the tub before motioning for Snaps with a pat of the water.]
"COME HERE."
[2:59 PM] sbubby: [ He scoots in fully, slipping his legs around Boss's pelvis, and hugs onto him, arms around his neck, face buried into his shoulder. ]

:black_small_square:️ i'll remember.
:black_small_square:️ and and
:black_small_square:️ i won't mess up again ever
[3:12 PM] Boss: [For a moment it almost looks like he doesn't know what to do with his arms, just holding them out as Snaps nestles into him, before finally they enclose around the smaller frame and pulls him close.]
"IT'S ALRIGHT."
"I'M... STILL NOT SURE HOW TO FEEL."
"ABOUT ALL THIS."
"BUT, WE'LL BOTH JUST HAVE TO TRY."
[3:56 PM] sbubby: [ he feels very light, lightly shivering, his cheeks stained with red. Looks like a proper Fell, a little. ]

:black_small_square:️ mm.
:black_small_square:️ yeah.
:black_small_square:️ sorry.
:black_small_square:️ really sorry.
[4:04 PM] sbubby: [ like holding a feather ]
[4:08 PM] Boss: [He rubs small circle along the other's back, resting his cheekbone against the top of his skull before closing his eyes.]
"LET ME CLEAN YOU."
"THEN YOU CAN COME UP TO MY ROOM AND REST."
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND THE NIGHT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO,"
"BUT YOU'RE WELCOMED."
[6:00 PM] sbubby: [ He nods slowly, just holding onto him... His soul glows in his ribcage, but softer... A soft white. ]

:black_small_square:️ ok
:black_small_square:️ mmm
:black_small_square:️ mm maybe
:black_small_square:️ should i?
:black_small_square:️ do you want me to?
[6:48 PM] Boss: [He picks up the torn sponge and carefully starts to clean Snaps' bones, pressing his fangs together at the question.]
"... WELL."
"I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE ALONE RIGHT NOW."
[6:50 PM] sbubby: [ He frowns a little, even if he likes being washed ]
:black_small_square:️ so
:black_small_square:️ you don't want me to stay if...
[ the rest is unintelligible ]
[6:54 PM] Boss: [He lifts the other's chin up suddenly, being careful to wash the red streak from his cheekbones.]
"I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL OBLIGATED."
"IF YOU'D RATHER GO HOME OR BE WITH TERRI, THEN GO."
[6:56 PM] sbubby: [ He looks up at him, sockets so big, without eyelights.... His eyes squeeze shut a little, and he tries to nuzzle boss. ]

:black_small_square:️ no no no. i'm sorry please.
[7:04 PM] Boss: [A sigh, before he leans in and presses their teeth together softly, his voice lowered to almost a whisper but still holding an air of command to it.]
"STAY."
[7:10 PM] sbubby: [ that glow gets a little brighter, and he leans into the kiss... Less tense. ]
:black_small_square:️ yes sir.
[7:33 PM] Boss: [There's a slight smile at that, but he seems tired, shifting a bit so he can try to get up.]
"ALRIGHT, I THINK YOU'RE CLEAN ENOUGH."
"LET'S GET DRIED OFF."
[8:17 PM] sbubby: [ He moves back, hesitant to let go, but he does, standing up slowly and stepping out of the tub. ]
[8:26 PM] Boss: [Once Snaps is off of him he stands up as well, unplugging the drain before going over to a small closet filled with bathroom necessities. He removes two towels, both black, handing one to the other before he starts drying himself off, wrapping it around himself once he's done. His brother should be in his bedroom but, with all the commotion that had happened, Boss wouldn't be surprised if the little shit had wondered downstairs.]
[8:29 PM] sbubby: [ Snaps squats down, wrapping his upper half in the towel. Glancing up at Boss... Regarding him. ]

:black_small_square:️... are you ok...?
[8:34 PM] Boss: [He doesn't look at Snaps, shoulders stiff as he moves to open the door, his steps seeming to match his stance.]
"I'M FINE."
"LET'S JUST GET UPSTAIRS BEFORE MY BROTHER WAKES UP."
[8:40 PM] sbubby: [ He lowers his gaze..... And stands up, keeping distance between them.... Nervous giggles, clearing his throat. Snaps covers his eyes a bit again.... Scratch scratch. He forces his hands down, then just focuses on drying off.... Before following boss at a distance. ]
[8:46 PM] Boss: [His body is still sore, but he shows no sign of it as he transverses up the stairs, being careful with his steps until he's in his bedroom. Luckily Sans is no where to be seen, leaving the door open for Snaps as he takes a seat on his bed and lays back, eye sockets closed.]
[8:52 PM] sbubby: [ snaps follows after, head lowered, before he closes the door and.... Kinda just. Sits against it. He wants to stay but only because he likes boss. This was a very bad feeling and it wasn't the enjoyable awkward.... he sniffs and goes over the situation in his head again, cursing himself, and pulling his pile of clothes close to himself. ]
[9:07 PM] Boss: [The sniffing alerts him that Snaps is even in the room, sitting up slightly to peer over at the door where the pile of bones is curled up. There's a part of him that really doesn't want to be touched right now, feeling rather... disgusted with himself still, but he forces himself to scoot over a bit to make room on the bed.]
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE FLOOR?"
"COME HERE."
[9:10 PM] sbubby: [ He hesitates, then pulls himself up, hugging his clothes to his chest... And finally he lies next to Boss, giving him space, reminiscent of the hotel stay. ]

:black_small_square:️ ok.
[9:16 PM] Boss: [There's silence for a moment as he watches the other slip into bed next to him, and he isn't sure what to do with this, even he recognizes the awkwardness of the situation. Perhaps it would have been best to just let Snaps leave.]
"..."
[He pulls the blanket up and nestles it around the both of them, before rolling over on his side and closing his eyes again. He was... Exhausted.]
[9:27 PM] sbubby: [ snaps scratches at his body again... He can't sleep, he's too.... Distracted by thoughts. It's probably 10 minutes or so of him just.... Fidgeting uncomfortably before he says "i'm such fucking garbage" and disappears. ]
