Silent Appreciation-Jameson Jackson x Antisepticeye

Chapter 6: Try Again

As JJ looked around the unfamiliar office, Henrik quickly walked over, breathing a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank goodness you're alright.." The doctor muttered, smiling at him. "Anti really took a toll on your body.. Are you feeling alright?" He asked, sitting on the end of JJ's bed.
"Fine." He signed in reply, looking away from him. "I don't understand why Anti did that, though.. He's so- back and forth," he continued.
Henrik nodded a bit. "I know what you mean.. Anti's always been harsh with us. I- don't think i've seen him act up like that, though," he replied, "I mean, he's possessed people before, but backstage-.. He seemed so happy for you."
"It's been like that for a couple days. The first day of my existence, he straight up slapped me, then healed it and apologized. I tried to set some boundaries, but- i guess not putting "don't use me as some kind of puppet" gave him a free pass."
Henrik stopped. "Hey- don't blame yourself, okay? Anti has his own problems to work out.. None of this is your fault." The doctor spoke with a worried tone. "How about you stay here for a few days, and take your mind off him? You can rest knowing your safe here.." Henrik said with a smile.
JJ thought for a moment, before nodding slightly.
"I'd like that.."

A few days passed, and JJ had started to recover from what had happened. He was at peace.. For now, at least.
As he sat on his bed, Henrik came in. But something was off.. His normally blue eyes had a faint green glow.
Jameson hesitated before greeting the doctor.
"Hello, Henrik-" He signed, glancing up at him.
"Uh- hey-" He replied. "So- I know you probably don't want to talk about the other day-.. But- I'm sure that Anti's-- really sorry- and didn't know what he was doing-.." The "doctor" spoke.
JJ, however, wasn't falling for Anti's trick.
"Well, if he wanted to apologize correctly, I'm sure he'd just say it to my face." He replied, getting a frustrated glare from the possessed doctor.
"Maybe he can't. And maybe he's trying to find a way to apologize without any emotional whiplash."
"Oh yeah? Maybe he should just control himself."
"Maybe you should stop being SELFISH." "Henrik" hissed, before taking a deep breath. "Just accept my apology. You're lucky you're even GETTING one." He continued.
"It shouldn't be a privilege to get an apology." JJ replied, before standing up. "I appreciate you trying, but I want to be alone, just for one more day. We can talk again after, alright?"
The doctor hesitated. "..yeah." He muttered, before hesitating once again, suddenly grabbing JJ and pulling him into a hug. "I really am sorry. Can we talk about this? When- you're ready- at least-.." He muttered.
JJ froze, before sighing. ".. Henrik and I visited a small opening in the woods. Meet me there tomorrow." He replied, lightly shoving him off.
"Henrik"'s eyes lit up, before he quickly nodded. "Y-yeah- yeah-! Thank you-!" He said. "I-i'll leave you alone now-" he continued as he backed out of the room, before quickly running out, leaving JJ alone.

JJ sighed to himself.
"What did I just agree to?.."
