DARK TOXIC SHIPS | CURRENTLY ACCEPTING
It's a very good question and Yize didn't have an answer for it either.
He was sure after it was revealed he was a criminal mastermind, sans the mastermind, that the other would follow the exact same path as always. He became a liability, he became someone who was "other" and certainly not a friend to hang around. He knows that his story sounds fantastic and he also expected no one to actually believe him. After all, his face was plastered as some thug who beat the shit out of a guy until he was in a coma.
Sure, that guy recovered, but the damage was done.
He was used to the level of rejection that came with it and so he tried not to think about it. He tried to pretend that being left behind was fine, it's not the kind of person he wanted around him either....but when he laid on his bed after the sun set and those 1am thoughts scratched and latched onto his mind? That's when it hurt the fucking most. If he'd never gone that day, if he had lived a good life instead of a bad one, maybe he'd be happier.
Maybe he'd be someone completely different.
But he wasn't and he didn't. He was simply Yize, the guy scrambling to keep away from the gang that lead him here and establish as normal of a life as he possibly could. That meant going to work and fixing cards and then going to a night class here or there to keep up with some degree with a focus he didn't quite know just yet. It meant going straight home and living your entire existence in the same dingy walls that you saw every day.
So imagine his surprise when Bolin showed up. He'd been clearly confused before letting him in, immediately wishing he'd have known so he could tidy up the books that were splayed everywhere and the blanket haphazardly thrown on the couch because he liked the freedom of being in his living room. "I don't know why.....that's something you have to ask yourself." He admits, dark hues immediately moving down to stare at the floor as he carefully rubs his neck.
"But I'm......." he starts and then stops, the tip of his ears immediately lighting up in a soft pink that showed his embarrassment. "I'm really fucking glad you are."
