Why Can’t I Just Hate You?! (Closed with Eli-the-transboi) (1/1) (MxM) (TW)

“Yes.”

Lixian rolls his eyes, getting up.

Reo grabs his hand, looking at him, a desperate look on his face.

(The bruise on his cheek looks so prominent rn-)

(Mhm- ;-;)

Lixian yanks his hand away, growling.

Reo looks at him, “LIx. . .” He swallows, “Please. . .”

Lixian snarls, “No. leave me alone.”

Reo bites his lip, getting up, “Lix. . .” He whispers.

“No!” He snaps.

Reo looks at him, “Why? Why won’t you do anything but go out and get drunk? Then come back and let me snuggle you like nothing happened?” He whimpers, biting his lip, “What part of that makes you feel good? None of it?!”

(Inside he’s like— tell me I’m wronnggggg—)

Lixian grumbles, “Maybe I don’t wanna have to deal with shit! You don’t understand! You don’t need to understand either! So leave it!”

“I want to understand! I want to help you!”

“YOU DON’T NEED TO UNDERSTAND! NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW!”

Reo flinches, looking down, “I-. . . I want to though. . .” He murmurs, “I just want to help you. . .”

Lixian snarls. “Oh drop the fucking act.”

Reo flinches, and looks back up at him and pushes Lixian out of the way, but still gentle. “Fine. . . Whatever. I try to be nice and all you o is push me around. My parents were right.”

Lixian growls. “yeah. Probably.” He walks away.

Reo bites his lip and then rushes out of the house, rubbing his face.

(He’s cryingggg—)

(T^T)

Lixian grumbles, then sits down on the couch and hides his face in his hands.

Reo walks to the park and sits down on a bench, pulling his knees to his chest.

Lixian shudders, staying on the couch. He eventually dozes off, slowly closing his eyes.

Reo takes a while, then eventually gets up, walking home.

(Back to Lix or his parents?)

Lixian falls asleep on the couch.

(Parents)

(Mk)

Reo bites his lip, going inside and walking towards his room, rubbing at his face with the heels of his palms.

Julia pokes her head from her room and blinks. “Baby? What are you doing here?”

Reo smiles slightly, “Just. . .” He shrugs.

Julia pauses, then opens her arms for a hug.

Reo hesitates
