hmm . .

Swap / Reversed Version of @silliestbadger ‘s writing of Telamon’s disappearance . Now Builderman is going to disappear first :3 .

Time Taken : Around An Hour , a Bit More - Word Count : IDK

TW / CW : Self Harm / Suicide Implications , Probably OOC .

One moment , the CEO stood atop the platform , giving that ever so familiar speech at every event . One speaking of the world’s future , the improvements he and the Admin team are working on .

Now he was gone . Gone the next morning , gone like sand in the wind . No traces of anything .

Robloxia would notice fast . After all , who wouldn’t notice the face of it all missing ? No more than two days of Builderman not clocking in gave everyone at HQ the message ; he was missing .

It hurt the avian god more than he’d like to admit .

This is the most voluntary work Telamon has done in years of working at Roblox HQ . He barely had time for the Heights ; it surprised both his colleagues and the citizens . He always seemed to be searching , searching for the CEO . His CEO .

Denial had always been in Telamon’s mind about how he truly felt about him . Emotions were for the weak , and Telamon was the strong . He had to be the strongest . That’s all he knew how to be .

Oh , how was he wrong . He was working his wings off to find him , tearing every server apart , hating how he kept his mouth shut for all those years . Telamon could barely keep himself together — his ego wasn’t happy , but everything else wasn’t either — picking and plucking feathers when his hands weren’t moving . He had to keep them moving ; he still had an appearance to keep up .

Bandages were always appearing on his arms , with colleagues assuming he’s gotten messy , sloppier while looking . They would never say that to Telamon’s face ; they would like to not have an Illumina straight through their chest after all . It was . . quite the opposite , that was true .

❝ I need to find him . ❞ Telamon would always say , when asked to rest or take a break , but he’d turn whoever it was down . Brighteyes , Clockwork , MrDoombringer , even Roblox themself . Yet what he truly felt , he always thought to himself , and it was something he’d never say aloud .

❝ I need him . ❞

They had been looking for weeks now , yet Telamon never gave up hope . Maybe he would , one day , but that day wasn’t today . If he did . . the sight wouldn’t be pretty . He’d realize he may have nothing to live for ; sword fighting wouldn’t even fill the gap in Telamon’s heart the way Builderman did . That feeling was new , yet it hurt more than any wound Telamon has ever had in his immortal lifespan .

Builderman was never one to complain . One to complain about the spotlight , the responsibilities , how he felt about any of it . He always took it with that signature grin and cheerful expression . No matter how tired he got .

So imagine the panic at waking up in the woods , right in front of an unfamiliar cabin with a raging headache and dizzy . His vision began to un blur , and the figure in front of him came into focus .

It was Mr Builder’s kid . . the one that worked at the Pizza Place . Elliot , he believed .

❝ Oh my Admins . . Mr Builderman ! ❞

Elliot extended a hand , wanting to help the CEO up .

❝ Would you like my help up - ? You had quite the rough fall there . . I would know . ❞

A few blinks came from the Admin , before he nodded , taking the pizzeria worker’s hand and standing up .

❝ Thanks , kiddo . ❞

Builderman thanked , letting go of his hand once he got a grip over himself . Elliot then gestured for him to follow into the cabin ; it was cold outside after all , even with Builderman’s jacket , so he obliged .

His eyes scanned the cabin , taking it in the sight . It was much more comfortable than he thought a cabin in the middle of what felt like no where . The fireplace , couch , and that . . drakobloxxer head above it ? He wouldn’t question it .

❝ Do you happen to know where we are , Elliot ? ❞

Builderman asked , looking at the surprised pizza worker . Guess he didn’t expect him to know his name . . but from the times he’s been called about that exploiter , or the times the Admin’s went out for company lunch there . Elliot gave a quick shake of his head , while Builder’s gazed over to the portrait of Telamon . He walked over and laid a gentle hand over it . Builderman wouldn’t want to damage it ; it may be the only way he’d see Telamon ever again .

The only way he’d be able to see the one he loves .

❝ Sorry , Mr. Builderman . I know as much as you do . ❞

❝ . . You can drop the formalities , kiddo . We may be here for a while . ❞

❝ Okay . Will do , Builderman . ❞

The silence between them rested for a moment . Builderman couldn’t take his eyes off the portrait , and yet he coudld admit he loved that avian , no matter how much he’d deny it . Telamon couldn’t , no , wouldn’t , love him back . He wasn’t the kind of God to do so .

That didn’t mean it hurt any less .

❝ . . Do you think it’s stupid to hope for someone to love you back , even if they don’t believe in love ? ❞

Elliot was caught off by the question ; was Builderman . . referring to Telamon ? Though he quickly shook his head .

❝ I don’t think so . Robloxians change , like a flip of a coin . ❞

❝ . . Besides , if it was true love , he’d experience it for the first time with you . ❞

The pizza boy replied , walking off into the kitchen to make some food . He’d leave Builderman with his thoughts ; he seemed quite vulnerable right now , and Elliot didn’t want to intrude .

Builderman smiled at that . Elliot just seemed to know what to say , and that was nice . Maybe . . that gave him a bit of hope . Surely Telamon wasn’t some heartless God ; none of them at HQ were .

❝ I miss him . I really do . ❞

Builderman never let himself be vulnerable , but now ? It was basically just him here , so he smiled as the tears gently trickled . Tears of pure , unrequited yet unwavering love . Love for that stupid bird . His stupid bird .

❝ I hope he’s doing okay without me . Maybe I’ll see him again , one day . ❞
