week 06; thursday night, w/ dave.

thursday night, roxy's room

[ it's another strilonde sleepover, this time with actual sleeping. because it's like. 2am. or whatever.

admittedly nightmares featuring one's lack of self-worth and loneliness with extra alcohol don't really help facilitate actual sleeping, but she's not going to stab a b over it. she is the allegorical cockroach, it's her. the allegorical cockroach is just sleeping not-peacefully, up on the top bunk with dave on the bunk below.

dave is an allegorical question mark, though roxy has her Suspicions. but she hasn't asked, since until recently she hasn't felt it was really her business. sure she's his genetic mom and all but if he doesn't want to discuss his not-that-subtle issues who is she to pry? some random girl, that's who.

but when dave's allegorical question mark nightmare issues cause her to be woken up at ass o'clock and tumble out of her bunk expecting Death, then it's definitely her business DAVE WHAT THE FUCK ]

[ ok roxy was not. expecting that. ]

Davey...

[ she moves to sit on the bed beside him, putting a hand on his head. it takes her a moment to say anything else, because now she really wishes she had a crystal ball just to see how bro!dirk could have fucked up here with this perfect boy. ]

There's nothing wrong with you, you're perfect. No one could possibly hate you. It'd be like hating a fluffy cloud or a penguin.

[parodeity]

No, you don't get it, he hated me.

[ weeks later she'll see the video and maybe she'll get it but right now it's just dave at the end of his rope scared as fuck he'll become dirk someday or just break people into becoming like that or

he doesn't even know anymore ]

[ maybe she will. mostly she may just want to stab bro. right now roxy's not sure what to say. she can't exactly go seek out bro strider and go "yo, why you make my baby feel unloved?" and for all she knows, maybe bro strider really was that big of an asshole to not love dave.

really, why the fuck would anyone not love their family? like goddamn, roxy's spent 16 years wanting a family how could bro strider not give a shit about his. like. she can't quite imagine it. ]

Well, if that's true, then fuck him. Who cares what he thinks? If he didn't love the hell out of you, then his opinions are trash.

[ just pets his hair in a hopefully comforting way ]
