Lord give me strength

Keep The Nightmares at bay

"This isn't working" He looks up suddenly, startled, what had he done wrong?

"What- W-why?" His voice cracks slightly, this couldn't be happening- "I-I can be better, I can-can change and-and act pro-"

"It's too late" DC cuts him off, keeping his eyes on the ground. 

Florida feels tears well up in his eyes. Why couldn't he just be enough?

"I'm sorry-" He can barely hold back a sob, getting up- he needed out.

DC doesn't reply, looking away. He should've been better, been enough, now this was gone too. DC was gone too. He walks past DC, walking as fast as he can to the bathroom. He doesn't hear DC say anything.

He slides down, sitting on the floor. He squeezes his eyes shut- whywhywhywhy-

He gaps, jolting up with a start, eyes darting around wildly. DC wasn't here, he left and wasn't coming back-

"orida-" he looks to where DC is now staring at him, worried. "Are you alright? What happened? Are you hurt? Do y-"

"Please" he sobs "please, don't leave me"

"What? I wouldn't-" He moves to sit on the bed, pulling Florida closer

"I can be better- I'll- i'll pay more attention or- or stop drinking- just please- please" He sobs, trying to pull back- he needed to be better-

"I don't want you to change, I love you for you. Wh-where is this coming from?" Had he done something wrong?

He shakes his head, moving to rest his head on DC's shoulder so his face couldn't be seen. He's shaking, trying to hold back sobs and wipe away his tears. He didn't want to lose DC. Even if he was horrible at showing it. 

DC intertwines their fingers, moving slightly closer, "I'm not going to leave you, because you are enough- I'm just worried whenever you do something dangerous because I don't want to lose you"

He'd already said too much, he should've just kept his mouth shut. "Can we go back to sleep?"

"Sure, we will talk about this tomorrow though" 'No we won't' "Right?"

"Yeah" he feels bad lying, but it's better this way. 

He leans into DC's embrace, ignoring the small part of him that feels guilty about it. DC deserved better. He'd realize eventually, even if Florida wished he would stay. He'd let himself be selfish for another night. 

A/N: sorry if this seems ooc (it was also based on the separation anxiety hc so uh)
