Phosphophyllite let out an upset sigh as they rested their head on the palm of their hand, looking down at the surface of the coffee brown table they were sitting at. *another date didnât go well like they plannedâŚ* the teal gem thought, pressing their thin lips together as their eyes moved to look at the other across from them.
Cinnabar was sitting at the other side of the table, their hair covering their most likely sad eyes as their very slender fingers tapping against their cheek. The others teal eyes looked at them for a while before they looked at their barely touch food, a sigh leaving their lips and their body moved to look at their partner. âHey, Cinna? Are you done eating?â They asked with a bit of worry in their voice.
The redhead hummed softly before they moved to look at the other before they looked at their food before they gave them a small nod before they looked away once again. âYea, Iâm not that hungry.â
âCan you at least eat some more?â Phos asked with a small sigh of worry, earning a upset huff and a frown from the other as they moved to look at them again.
âDidnât you hear me? I said that-â
âCinnabar,â Phosphophyllite said sternly, upset that they had to fight over something stupid again that day. âJust please eat a little more.â The upset redhead looked at them angrily before they let out an angered sigh, snatching their fork from where it laid and stabbed it.
âHappy?â Cinnabar barked as they looked at them before they shoved the food that was at the end of their fork into their mouth. Phos wanted to say no because they didnât like how they executed their request, but to avoid another fight between them they just nodded and looked at the table.
It was quiet between them for a while before the teal gem cleared their throat before they reached for their water glass. âHowâs work?â they asked, trying to create a conversation so they could get rid of the tension at their table.
The other shrugged, âworkâs work,â they muttered simple, avoiding the otherâs eyes as they continued to eat the food that their partner told them to eat. âNothing really exciting happened at all recently and itâs just the same as always. What about you?â
Phos thought about their work life before they shrugged as well, âpretty much the same as you. The only exciting thing thatâs happening is that the office is throwing a party or something, but Iâm not going to go.â
Cinnabar looked up and looked at them curiously before they looked back at their food and took another bite. âWhy Arenât you going to go? I thought that you loved going to parties.â
They sighed as they had to think of some sort of excuse to go, but after a while of just sitting there and thinking, they shrugged once more. âI just donât feel like going and I just feel like staying home and sleeping in for once.â They explained to the other, earning a small hum from the other. Phosphophyllite bit down on the inside of their bottom lip as they looked back down at the table. The truth was that they didnât want to go because they were going to ask Cinnabar if they wanted to go with them- but they knew that they were going to say no. They never had the time to hang out with each other anymoreâŚ
âThat makes sense,â the redhead muttered, letting out a small sigh before they put their fork down and leaned back in their seat. *At least they ate a little more than beforeâŚ* Phosphophyllite thought to themselves as they looked at the otherâs plate, a slow exhale leaving their partially parted lips as they looked at the other.
Today was actually the hardest day for me to write because I didnât know what to write and I had a thousand ideas for this. Like, the moment I saw âLast Wordsâ on the original post, I knew that I wanted to do that because me and my depressed self wanted to write depressing shit.
But I literally thought about almost everything for this large fanfic because I wanted the saddest and the angstiest thing. I thought about assaination, murder, suicide, and I thought about terrorist attacked and even someone coming in and killing someone at their work. I thought about canon stuff and SO much that I just eventually gave up writing angst because I didnât know what to do for it.
And then I start think about one of them leaving for college and then moved away, but then I read a buzzfeed article and then I WROTE THIS!!! I am honestly really proud of this and I think that is the best outcome of the thousands of opportunities.
And also thank you @that-weirdo-named-ollie for editing it for me!! I love you bby!!!
