Angsty thought thatâs been running through my head for a while now⌠Just player being a dumbass
It had been several weeks with the chain, you really loved this group, you watched them every day act like brothers. Always ready to protect a successor or predecessor, you found that awfully kind and even cute.
But you were an overthinkerâŚ
You did not want to be a reason they suffered when you returned home.
So you didnât blend into the chain. You always walked behind, always kept your distance and always kept so quiet sometimes they forgot you were even there and forgot to give you dinner. You acted as if they were a bother.
And they returned the sentiment.
âThanksâ You muttered when Wild passed you a bowl of soup for dinner âyou acted rude but you had mannersâ which he answered with a huff.
You were sitting on a rock outside the circle they gathered in around the fire. Wind was telling a story, which the others had already heard, but the teenâs enthusiasm made them feel like they could listen to it a thousand times more.
âUgh, kid, donât you think you talk too much? itâs like the third time you tell that exact storyâ It hurt you and you knew it would hurt Wind too. But this was just your life now.
âShut up, you are not even listening.â Wars argued while Wind had your back facing you, but you knew was now lowering his head.
You huffed, acting annoyed. âOf course Iâm not listening, itâs a dumb story, get over itâ
âWhy are you like this?!â Twi joined in, standing up, a hand on the sailorâs shoulder.
âSo youâll kick me away, that way I wonât be forced to stand you every day.â You begin sarcastically âAs far as I know, you are keeping me here against my will just because youâre afraid some lizard may get information about you from me. Thatâs the dumbest reason Iâve ever heard!â Even if it happened, youâd take that information to the grave, you wouldnât put them in such a risk.
âEnough! Twilight, sit down! Warriors calm yourself! [name] shut. the fuck. up. and Wind, please continue.â Time yelled before softening and encouraging the sailor. No one dared to point out the usual âLanguage!â even he sometimes received.
âNah, I guess youâve indeed heard it a lot of timesâ came the sailorâs voice quietly.
You could feel the glare of the entire Spirit of Courage and the Fierce Deity on your neck as you huffed and went to lay down in the captainâs bedroll, not even finishing your meal, you didnât deserve it.
You also didnât feel like you deserved the bedroll but, until they could get you a bedroll of your own, they decided that you couldnât sleep on the floor, so they let you sleep on the bedroll of the person whoâll take the first watch, and when they finish it, they can sleep in the empty bedroll when they wake the next hero up. So the warrior had first watch tonight. They didnât like you, but they were still heroes and good people who didnât wish bad on anyone.
You admired that of them. Another thing you didnât deserve.
Later that night, you couldnât sleep, but stayed in the bedroll as you tried to. You heard shuffling behind you and light footsteps head some direction.
âHey wars.â You heard Windâs murmur.
âHey, liâl brother, canât sleep?â answered the oldest.
There was silence for a few moments before you heard the youngestâs voice again. âAm I really that annoying?â The question was so quiet you almost didnât hear it. Your heart shattered.
âNo!â Warriors whisper-shouted âYour stories are amazing and⌠look, your enthusiasm makes them even better, I feel like I could hear them tons of times. Donât listen to what that jealous jerk saysâ Okay, you deserved that.
âhmâŚâ Was the only answer you heard.
âSpeaking of, since you canât sleep, why donât you finish it for me?â The captain offered softly.
You listened the entire rest of the story (again. You liked it anyways), your heart squeezing even more as you heard Wind gradually speak more excitedly. Then you heard Wind go back to sleep and you let your own eyes fall shut finally on their own.
You apologized deeply. Only in your soul.
You let yourself finally fall asleep, trying to convince yourself that tomorrow would be another day.
