[ Fabian raises his gaze to look at the other. Despite the fact that he's still looking a little bit like a mess - his one eye red from crying, the stains still visible on his cheeks despite his best efforts to wipe away the tears, his shirt still as dirty as it had been when Gorgug first spotted him with the baby earlier today..
Despite it all, he's smiling a little bit. It's a sad smile, but it's the sadness visible in it that keeps it from looking fake. However sad this smile looks, it's a real smile all the same. ]
You were never a bad friend.
[ Not that Gorgug is necessarily assuming he was, but Fabian just wants to reassure him. He doesn't think the other could be a bad friend even if he'd try. Gorgug is always thinking about everyone around him - he was thinking about all of them even back in the Nightmare Forest, back when all of them seemed at their lowest lows.
And Fabian doesn't blame him for his loneliness. He doesn't blame any of the Bad Kids. He doesn't blame his mother, he doesn't blame Gilear.. (Well, maybe he blames Gilear just a little bit. Because it's Gilear.) It's a weird thing - feeling so hurt, but not blaming anyone but yourself for it, despite the isolation and the loneliness not necessarily being created by you in the first place. ]
But.. If you do have some time to spend with me here.. [ His voice trails off for a moment. Asking for this feels weird after Fabian spent months denying himself this. Telling himself over and over that it was better, that he could think of ways to keep himself occupied, that it was his problem and no one else's.
But now Gorgug already saw him stupidly cry over it, it feels a little easier, weirdly enough. Not entirely easy, but.. easier. ]
