Scott's Perspective-



Scott climbed out of the black market and froze.

Jimmy was standing there with his hands on his hips.

"Well, well, well." He said, an icy cold stare to match his tone, "I thought the market was run by Joel, but no."

Scott's throat was dry.

"I- dye." He showed Jimmy some dye, "It-it's a dye trading system."

"Is it?" Jimmy asked, unconvinced, "Show me."

Scott didn't have any option but to show his lover what was underneath the llama statue.

"Have- you've been running this?" Jimmy asked, his voice cracking as he looked around at the stalls.

"Look, Jimmy, I'm really sor- "

"You're sorry." Jimmy spat, his voice laced with venom, "Sure."

Scott's heart broke, "I see you love the law more than me, huh? You're going to break up with me, aren't you, since I broke the law?" He said, snapping at Jimmy in the same tone.

"No, I'm going to break up with you because you lied to me about this." Jimmy said, his expression mad.

"But- please." Scott's voice broke off along with his heart. The impact of the situation just hit him.

Jimmy shook his head and turned around, crossing his arms in anger.

Scott sobbed and flew off.

He lost his boyfriend.

His one true love.

To a stupid market.

He loves the law more than me.

-

Scott landed in Chromia and looked around.

Yes, Chromia was the land of colors, but it was as if all the color and joy was taken away.

Scott burst through his door and started crying.

The world didn't matter anymore; he had lost everything.

The next day, Scott stayed in his house.

Chromia would be fine.

The llamas would be fine.

Scott didn't really do anything as ruler anyway.
But not everyone thought that.

There was a knock at the door and Scott got up.

He was a wreck.

His hair was messed up and his once cheerful and colorful look was gone.

There were tears all over his face and his outfit was dirty since he'd been too lazy to change out of it.

His personality was gone.

Destroyed.

His heart wasn't in it.

His heart wasn't there.

It was broken.

There was a second knock.

"Coming! Give me a sec!" Scott barked.

He answered the door and Gem gasped.

"S-Scott?!"

Scott didn't move.

He just wore a blank expression.

"Er- are you okay?"
