The rustling and shuffling and general shitty smutty noise coming out of mimes room was infact, not unnoticed. But why pay attention to that?
Rue surely wasnt. well, in a way it was. If listening to Ire yap and yap about that growing noise counted. Then sure. But listening as in standing is some corner trying to make out what shes saying. Sure too
Rue kind of wishes it was her being talked to
Not like the floating mess of shackles and paper ever gotten noticed.
But still.
It was nice to hear that voice play out like a music box which you had to crank.
Nevermind, that sounded weird. Though rue would still like to indulgence in the realm of fantasy and oh boy what dream-ire would be like to her when-
Rue's thoughs were quickly mutted by ire's endless ranting. Was she even speaking to anyone? Rue couldn't tell, like the damn stalker it is she's watching from the corner.
For rues already need for an ego booster lets say 'observer'. Hes, 'observing' ire. From a corner, slightly behind something. (A pot? A potted plant? I dont fucking care just imagine something).
Its like watching a magpie squawk at a worm. The 'worm' which rue had just identified was seesay. No more need for that brat back onto ire.
Oh ire... audible sigh i-i wish you could see me... which what Rue WOULDVE. thought if it wasnt for the fact she just cant get ire out of its head. And the fact rue ISNT a damn submissive little catboy or smth in those bl mangas which make the bottom look like a child- ok ok we getting off task now arent we?
I lovee yo pink hairuhhh, i love yo..evil glare... ireeee, oh iree.
If fool wasnt around, that title was sure to fall on rue. Without even realising it the damn fuck inched closer to the two, by like, idk 3 paces.
How long is a fucking pace
To rue it wouldve been just a step closer to ire and its heart would be pacing more than her feet would let her even 'pace' toward that beauty.
Which is why, right now, this very moment is very special. During the manifestation of guilt or smth idk i forgot- during its lost in that empty mind ire was in fact.
Standing over rue
Seesay behind of course, but not for long since rue looked heated in the face and seesay just had new material to gosip about. So now it was just the two. The pure anger and guilt, facing each other.
"So what."
"WhatHuhUhmWwWhatDoYouMeann..?"
"Speak clearly geez, is it really that hard to mutter like that or something, nevermind what in fucks were you even doing-actually no. Whay in fucks are you looking at. Hm?"
Well in rues memory, it was only just in her mind then, then she well. Actually he didnt know. Her mouth that was babling on said otherwise
It wasnt THATTT bad, rue had only just said what its incompetent mind was already running. Whatever,, not like ire would've taken it seriously...right? Some lingering hope might’ve clung onto a cuff or the dragging of metal made rue insane but..
A small, flickering light inside hoped ire would think about it
.....
Haha u thought youd get the confession ha.
.....
"WellUhUhmuhmuhUhnhmuhmmm..."
"Were you even listening when i said to stop muttering? Never the less you look like you need to say something. Hurry up. Or just keep staring from afar like some creep-
"Ireallylikeyouirecanwegoandlikeidunnouhm uh uhm uh oh uhmm"
"What"
And rue just fled. Just like that, Ire knew rue had something wrong with its brain, rue didnt even have a brain! It was just cloth and shackles. She knew something is wrong. Hm,
"Irelylikleakd blah blah blah go and ehughhh plptp"
Hm...
"Irealynednall go"
Wait...
"I.. i really need to go"
Was rue depressed? I mean ire wasnt really in that feild but the thought of rue leaving? Hold hon hold on maybe it was like, to get away from ire? What did she even do to rue??? Nothing right?
For Ires case. Yes. She does like rue, but she doesnt even know if rue likes her, let alone she wont even talk to ire! Now hes saying that they want to go away????
Ire fucked up somewhere, she just needs to know what she did?? This is all her fault. Maybe if ire just aproached first rue wouldnt ran away so scared and fleeting.
Maybe ire was just scary, maybe thats why rue doesnt like her. Shes a prick. Shes insufferable. She knows it but, knowing, knowing She mightve had a chance with rue..
Makes her head flood with regret, and all the anger that originally was in that somewhat unused organ would be washed out. Leaving only that heavy regret and painful longing
Nothing she can do about it anyway.
Its not like there were any other reasons why Rue's actin like that, ire is, of course scary to someone like ire. Why would she even think she'd have a shot with rue???
Its not fair. If ire wasnt like this she wouldve already asked rue out from the very begining. She wishes she could be more like dozer, pride and being a confident bastard might help. Litany maybe, for his damn charm and fancy whateverness. Heck, even mime, outgoing, sassy, does whatever it wants fucker.
Sigh
If fool wasnt around ire would have already been awarded with that title. She deserves it.
Rue was in shambles, if she already wasnt. Asking ire out, like, like that?? Gosh. Embarrassing. Ire would obviously never even THINK about rue
Why would he think ire would care?
Shes so, so confident with herself, sassy, outgoing. The type to 'do whatever she wants, cuz why not?' She was perfect and rue wasnt.
In all the ways rue could have just, just asked.
"Stop muttering"
...
"Geez"
...
Clear giveaway that rue was literally just wasting time. Why would, just, just why?? Why would it think that.
All rue really feels as of now, embarrassment, pure embarrassment. One- for thinking he'd even have a shot with ire, two- just why?????? Three- dunno, just know that 3 reasons is better than two
Sighs and soft, silent crying accompanies rue tonight. Not asleep yet but slowly the crying is begining to lull that thick mind of hers
As of ire? The smell of concrete as she lays there asleep. Wrestling with them damn degrading thoughts of hers.
One thing stays in common, as they crown themselves as fools, in their own little head
