Drabble: Spoons

Summary: Some days, there aren’t enough.

Notes: Two drabbles in one day? Yeah, I told myself I wasn’t gonna do that, but I need to share my pain. 

Warnings: PLEASE READ. This drabble contain depictions of depression. Please, don’t read this if its going to upset or trigger you in any way. Your depression isn’t mine, and while I find writing these cathartic, YMMV. 

Go read today’s chicken drabble instead. It’s cute and fluffy. In fact, read it even if you do read this one. Recharge with it.

Once again, your depiction of Stretch’s depression—and the way Edge helps him with it—is really wonderful.

One of those days

Based on an idea from @cheapbourbon. I didn’t go quite as deep into the angst bucket as their prompt did, but I stuck to the hurt/comfort theme. Basically: Rus is a very depressed boy and really needs Edge to be there for him on some days.

Summary:

There are days when Rus is fine. Functional. Days he can manage. Days he can hold himself together.

This is not one of those days.

Bourbon ;-; Why do you do this to me?

This is just gorgeous. Holy fuck. I can’t even adequately express the emotions this is making me feel.

That expression on Rus’s face really captures the essence of depression. He just looks so tired and despairing. He’s used to it, but it doesn’t make it any less difficult. He just. Can’t.

And then—Edge. Holding him and cherishing him and loving him unconditionally. He doesn’t ask him what’s wrong, doesn’t force him to talk, doesn’t even try and make him ‘feel better’. He just… holds him and lets him know that he loves him.

I’m genuinely in tears, I’m doing a terrible job of conveying how much I love this. I’m so glad they have each other. Fuck. Thank you, Bourbon. This really tugged on my heartstrings.
