Basil begged his parents to let him move out of Faraway after his bullying got worse when the truth came out... More

Prologue
Cut my palms, and make me put white gloves on.
I'm not "that guy" anymore, and I made damn well sure he's dead.
I'm gripping the grass, and I'm pulling up daisies
Tomorrow's too late, Amen.
While I tied my boots like a tightrope noose
I lack ambition from the side, monsters eaten me
Thank matter for mass and the comfort of gravity
Shields himself from reason with a kevlar baby blue tuxedo
I am the shadows cast aside by the gallows and you, the red-hot sky
Here comes the sun, am I falling up?
Auf wiedersehen, au revoir, he gripped his wits right by their ends
Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?
The atmosphere changing colours by sheer force of will
It's better to be laughed at than wrong.
Cry my name, remind my brain of my identity
I'm still picking up my molars, and putting them back in my face
You're trying to replace yourself
Am I really that bad?
And if I change can I still stay me
Will you lead me straight to paradise?
Well, if winter comes and takes my life
Good times on Front Street
Glass half full, I'd probably just drink that too
I'm the Main Character, and you have to like me.
Well this is my lysergide daydream
Sober, but still so much hangs over
I'm not a flower, not a solar-powered calculator
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but something will eventually
Everyone will see it. Everything's connected.
Don't you make me waste my breath
Colour makes us hungry, hunger makes us human
It's awful out here, Socrates.
A place you've seen before you were born.
Cry a hymn out in Hungarian harmonic
I'll turn up the heat if it's too much
To love one from too far to call
Bite your tongue and smile, stick around a while
Transcript C71096I5a
I'm done pounding my head against the kitchen floor
One more or one less, nobody's worried
Under a Monochrome Sky
Woke up smiling like I blacked out in Glasgow
Life is just okay out here, anyone can see
The overwhelming harmony, consuming the colony
This is a triumph
Delta Echo Alpha Delta
I'm only passing through (that was fun, goodbye!)
The one you could not have killed.
Damn that oxymoron...
This suit doesn't fit me, I made it myself counterfeit-ly
No I don't believe, there's a place I can call.
By your side
The circle rules your mind
How bad can I possibly be? Let's see.
And god damn it, we liked it.
Mortem Obire
Right by my side
I got Anubis on my back, and something in my shoe
Transcript B29070067SI1a
Well isn't it funny? But not "haha" funny, but, y'know, "funny"
Culture's not your friend.
Praying you might die before I fall in love with you.
I just like you a little more than me
Could you airbrush my scars?
Something glowing
To see how the fire side of us burns.
It might be heaven & it might be hell
Lost in my reverie
Live long and prosper while the winter melts away
TWO TRUCKS HAVING SEX
Business as usual
Two's company, tea's a crowd
Don't mean to bug, but I thought I'd tell you that your shoes are untied
A picture of you, killing me, with deja vu
Neither of us will be missed
Now my body's on land but my heart will reside
Shame on a martyr claiming friends
Gone fission
Come back again to make things stand
I can tell it's there by the way it's not quite there
The limits of your mind
So don't apologize when you turn blue and cold
When you become untouchable you're unable to touch
Pianissimo, piĆ¹ Pianissimo

Tell me where I came from, what I will always be.

-- TW: omoi is ploopy

Sunny turned on the shower. Thank god his mom wasn't home to freak out about the blood. When she does the laundry, he'll get an earful.

That's a problem for future me.

Sunny got into the shower and began to process what happened as the confusion and emotions of what happened bubbled up.

"Holy shit. I'm... Omori is... I..." Sunny looked at his hands as he spoke to himself in the shower, "I could've died... holy fuck..."

Thankfully for Sunny, Omori was tok showboat-y to just stab him without taking a few minutes to taunt him, and attempt to torture him.

All I lost was a lousy piece of extra skin... and probably a lot of blood.

Sunny noticed himself feeling slightly lightheaded. Definitely a lot of blood.

"Consider it a favour, even if I didn't mean for it to be one." A familiar and honestly grating voice piped up, "Jesus, how are you going to please your boyfriend with such a small-"

Sunny interrupted... or I guess, thought about interrupting since it's in his brain.

I swear to fuck, Omori, I'm gonna figure out how to kill you some day.

Omori laughed. "Dare you to try, faggot." His presence was quickly removed by Stranger. He didn't say anything, but Sunny still said "thank you" in his mind.

Sunny rinsed the shampoo from his hair and picked up his razor. His thoughts drifted back to Basil as he shaved.

Is this a dream? Am I actually, like, his boyfriend now?

Sunny stopped shaving and looked insecurely at his penis.

Is it actually small, or is he just saying that to be a bitch?

Sunny shook his head, splashing water loudly on the shower curtain. He needed to stop thinking about Omori and all the stupid shit he says.

Sunny left the shower and dried himself off. A little bit of dried blood that was left over got stuck to the towel. He pretended it wasn't there.

Sunny immediately went upstairs to get dressed and to say some sappy romantic things over WeChat. They're easier to say in text than out loud.

White short-sleeved shirt. Black sweatervest. Cargo shorts. The definition of style.

He hopped on his computer, not literally, of course, and opened WeChat. He already had a message from Basil.

"wan ( ^▽^)" the message read.

<Sunnny> What's "wan" for? Lol.

<BasilC> i made it it stands for 我爱你 :D

--(that's I love you in Chinese goobers)--

Sunny covered his mouth and laughed. It was creative.

<Sunnny> Well then, wyan is how I shall respond.

--(that's for 我也爱你, which is I love you too in Chinese, you goobers)--

Sunny watched Basil's icon say he was typing for a few moments before he heard the phone ringing.

Sunny ran over to it, hoping to hear his new boyfriend over the line.

"Hello?" Sunny answered excitedly.

"Hello, my commpaddrayy!" The Maverick said through the receiver, butchering whatever language that was supposed to be.

"Oh... uh, hey The Maverick." Sunny said, trying to hide his disappointment

The Maverick stayed silent for a moment to strike a pose that Sunny could sense but not see. "My birthday is coming up, and I have decided to have my party tomorrow." He said coolly

"What? Uh, do-" Sunny couldn't even start.

"Don't worry, conrad, you need not buy me a gift. Your presence will be enough." The Maverick struck another unseen pose.

"MIKHAEL!! HAVE YOU SEEN MY NEW BRA?!" Mrs. Baker screamed from somewhere in the background.

"MOM! I'M ON THE PHONE!" The Maverick yelled back.

"OKAY, JUST TELL ME IF YOU SEE IT!!" She replied.

"Jeez. Alright, make sure you show up at the party tomorrow. I will be defeating Kel with my new techniques and technical prowess." The Maverick declared, posing over the phone again.

Sunny decided not to ruin his fun with posing. "Alright, I'll be there. Happy early birthday, dude."

The Maverick made a click with his tongue before hanging up.

He moved back towards his computer once he put the phone back onto the hook.

A notification had appeared.

<BasilC> i literally had a crush on you for so long omfg
<BasilC> this is like a dream come true lol
<BasilC> i love you so much sunny

Sunny typed back

<Sunnny> I love you too, Basil. : )

He looked at his new friend request from Kel. Maybe things would be alright from now on. Or at least, better than before.
