Art by me!
🌾 "Ah- ah dunno whut it means none, Bug." He admitted, because he really didn't. "But- y- y'sure? Are yew... positive y'ain't just... lonely?"
🦗 Cricket's eyes dance for a moment, then his cheeks light up into a smile.
"Lonely?"
He laughs, but then his eyes droop downward.
"Of course I am," he says through shaky confidence.
"Isn't everyone?"
His free hand fidgets with the prism, letting rainbows dance back and forth across his face, catching the final moments of the setting sun.
"But you don't fix loneliness by loving other people."
He looks back up, meekly, then places his other hand in Thach's.
"When I'm around you, I-"
"I love myself."
The words are quiet, but there is a timid celebration that roars behind them.
"I feel like I can mean something without throwing myself away."
"That I don't need to be beautiful to be beautiful."
He furls his brow and laughs at himself - why is everything coming out jibberish?
He flusters and waves his hands and shakes his head in a way that says, let me explain.
"A happy man once told me the three most beautiful things in life are music, contentment, and discontentment."
"I grew up with music, and then it was taken from me."
"So for years, I've struggled, I've fought, and I've bled for discontentment. I resolved that that is who I'm going to be. That struggle will be the mark I leave on the world, the story I leave behind."
"And it's so hollow, Thack. It's beautiful, but it's empty to the core, and it aches, and I'm not strong enough."
"But when I'm with you, I'm content. I can see, for once, how beautiful it is to exist at all, even for a moment."
