Merlot × Stereo

SAD FLUFF

////////////////////////////////////////

How many days has it been...? 11 days, it was impossible to get her to eat or speak. She just laid almost lifelessly in her room, it was a hassle to get her to drink anything. Looking up at the foreboding door, he could faintly hear music playing. Merlot stood sighing the whole ordeal starting to take a toll on him, time to try again.

Going to the kitchen and opening a can of soup, he poured it into a bowl. Watching it spin in the microwave as his eyelids became heavy, whens the last time he slept..? Its hard to tell with a suicidal and deppressed being to worry about. The beeping of the microwave pulled him out of his thoughts as he popped open the door, taking the soup with a spoon up to stereos room.

Pushing the door open light poured into the dark room "hey babe..." He mumbled walking over, sitting down beside the almost dead looking girl. She cast him a glance sighing as her magic flicked the door shut, the light hurting her eyes. "...ready ta' eat yet...?" His response was her turning away, a silent but very obvious no at this point. His grip tightened on the bowl as his anger boiled.

No, fustration and anger won't do no good. Setting the soup and spoon aside, he took her limp hand into his shakey one. "Ya can't keep doin' this...Ya need ta' eat stereo...ti's been over a week...." Pressing his boney 'lips' to her knuckle he sighs. "yer' worryin' me big time....im'a 'fraid im goin' ta' loose ya'.....i-i...i dunno what i'd do without ya'..." He shut his eyesockets holding her hand gently in his, running his thumb against the top.

His wings drooped down, he was missing a few feathers due to stress and they where very messy. Stereos hair and wings where far worse than his though. "please stereo...just eat fer' me..." His eyes shot open as stereo slowly crawled onto his lap, curling up against him as she hiccuped. "...i-it hu-ur-rts..." Her voice croaked, tears streaming down her face. Letting go of her hand, merlot gently enveloped her into a hug. "i know...i know.."

Rubbing her back with one hand, he wiped her tears away with the other. He kissed her forehead softly, quietly comforting her. "gonna eat...?" he asks quietly, stereo nodding softly in response. Picking to bowl back up he took the spoon getting some of the thick soup in it as he lifted it up to her. He seen her blush, "i-i can feed myself.." merlot huffed. "humor me fer' now."

Stereo sighed slowly opening her mouth accepting the food. Feeding her almost every last drop of the soup, he put the bowl to the side afterwards. Continuing to hold her gently. "you can get through this..." he whispers to her, rubbing her back again as he gently rocked her. She wrapped her arms around him, resting her head against his shoulder. As he continued to comfort her, she was finally able to drift to sleep.
