It was another grey day. Wake up, get dressed, eat, got to college, come back and walk the dogs, stream if you have in a while, edit vlogs and videos, play with other ccs, fall alseep, repeat. It was a boring colourless routine and anything exciting he found quickly became grey too. It was torture, or at least thats how peopel described routines like that. But to tommy it was normal, he didn't find it a difficult thing to deal with. In fact it seemed amusing to him, well what he assumed was amusement.
He didn't really feel anything towards anything really. Acting loud and obnoxious? Nope, listening to people vent to you looking for sympathy? Nothing, kids at school calling you rude things and moking you? Completely numb. Hes shared this with a couple of "close" colleagues and so far, all of them have felt pity or concern for him, even his therapist recommended exercises and məd$(meds) for him to "get better". Of course he isn't like this all the time, he has felt normal emotions, he just feels numb, empty, nothingness most the time, its not his fault!... right? Of course hes right why would this be his fault, thats dumb.
"Hello, tommy. Earth to tommy."
"Huh? What?" Tommy was snapped out of his train of thought by a familiar voice.
"Sorry, just wanted to sure you were still here. Chat was worried because you went silent." The familiar voice, now recognized as ranboo said.
"Yeah, im here. Just space out a little..." Tommy Mumbled out, getting quieter the more he talked. Geez was talking a chore, why couldn't people get the memo when he had enough of social interaction. Slowly the void in his chest filed with emotions, negative ones, positive ones and neutral ones. Ugh, he really envied people who didn't constantly feel void. Oh well these thoughts are for a different time, right now he felt the need to interrupt ranboos talking that had been nothing more than a buzzing in the background till now.
"HEY RANBOOB." he announced rather loudly, feeling the need to ensure chaos.
"Yeah tommy?" Ranboo asked in a tired tone.
"Are you sure you're not gay?"
"Tommy-"
