@inkwellbelle ❝ I warned you about that place, Pearlie. I'm actually disgusted you went back there again. You're getting yourself killed and you've not a care in the world. ❞

Firm response, but both deadly serious and worried simultaneously.

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@inkwellbelle ❝ You look green... So it was true. ❞

Glass stepped closer and sat upon the bench, looking down at the floor.

❝ Fina.... Believes you're not with someone who'll treat you right.

And I believe her too. ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@inkwellbelle ❝ I got your gift.... That sheet music is oh so familiar. But that isn't the point.

Is what Fina told me true? ❞

Best to start asking questions since he's not forgotten the last time the ended up arguing.

❝ "He doesn't like it when I'm gone too long". ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@inkwellbelle Just around the corner to be precise, Glass rounds the turn and gasps.

❝ P-Pearlie?! ❞

He dashes over to the bench, Fina had told him the whole story.

❝ What happened to you. You look a right state! ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@BlueSecxnd ❝ Logical? ❞

He repeats, but of course he doesn't want to confuse his pure boyfriend.

❝ I guess.... Just how I think. ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@BlueSecxnd ❝ Exactly. Which refutes your own argument. ❞

Smug glass boi.

❝ A logical conclusion, no? ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@BlueSecxnd [ O B J E C T I O N—!]

❝ Escalate the amount all you want, Mugs. Because I love you just as much as any amount you could put onto your love for me! ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@MultiWaters ❝ "He"? Hold up. She's being controlled by someone, I reckon. If this "he" has her on a schedule, I'd put her down as being in the casino..

Someone there is controlling her. That's why she's acting so strangely.

Only someone being used on a schedule would be there. ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@BlueSecxnd (❝ What?! ❞)

❝ Oh come off it, Mugs. You know that isn't true. Because I love *you* more. ❞

REBUTTAL.

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@MultiWaters Glass blinked, unfolding his arms immediately.

❝ Fina... Calm down... I'm sure it'll be okay. Please calm down.... ❞

He reaches over to a small table and grabs a tissue for Fina to dry her eyes with.

❝ Calm down and tell me what's happening. ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@MultiWaters

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@BlueSecxnd His cheeks tinged a gentle pink. Bless, Mugs was showing him so much love... But he does remember being asked if his parents knew about them. He didn't want to answer.

He didn't want to answer that question and he knew it'd be inevitable one day...

❝ I love you too.... ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@MultiWaters ❝ I warned her about that sleezeball.... She never listens, huh. ❞

Glass folds his arms and huffs.

❝ But I'm worried it's not King Dice you're on about. Who the heck is she with now? ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

[🐲] Can't kill me if I kill you first! 😂😂 https://t.co/wxf18nn6XA

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

[🐲] Don't kill me-. https://t.co/tWDY90s4ud

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@BlueSecxnd ❝ T-That's very... Woa--. ❞

Being pulled into the hug warmed him up alright... With a subtly forced smile, he wrapped his arms around the other.

❝ Thanks Mugs... ❞

He's trying so hard not to cry. He's a strong boy. He is.

[🐲] Nate crumbling into a heap when Mug asks what's wrong and chipping his head. A broken glass this christmas.

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

[🐲] Yes.

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

@MultiWaters ❝ Pearlie? ❞ He inquired, pausing to think for a moment.

❝ Last time I spoke to her was... The King Dice Argument.

But anyways. What about her, Fina? ❞

[[ Ｎａｔｈａｎｉｅｌ - Ｇｌａｓｓ ] @TransparentSide]

The month previous, he lost his family in a double homicide. He's just remembering how he used to wake his parents up, give them gifts and try cooking the Christmas dinner. But since his 11th birthday, he's never had that chance again.
