Goggles had opened the door to see the horrific sight. He saw Glasses cutting himself. "G-Goggles, what are you doing here?!" Glasses asked to him. Goggles just stood at the doorway. "A...Are you...cutting yourself?!" Goggles asked to him.

Glasses began whimpering. He somberly nodded. Goggles then slowly walked up to Glasses in silence. "G-Goggles...?" Glasses asked, getting scared of what Goggles might do to him. Goggles then grabbed the small pocket knife from Glasses.

"Goggles...?" Glasses said. "Please tell me what are you are going to do to me..." Goggles then threw the knife somewhere. He then fell to his knees and embraced Glasses. "Huh...?" Glasses said.

"Glasses...please tell me what's wrong..." Goggles said. "I want to help you..." Glasses shook his head. "...No, please don't...I don't need any help..." Glasses said as he began to sob again. Goggles then tightened the embrace a little. "Please, Glasses...just tell me..." Goggles begged.

Glasses choked a sob before speaking. "You are just seeing this but...I have depression..." Glasses explained. "I chose to hide it because...if anyone found out, they would help me...instead of helping either themselves or somebody else..." Goggles was shocked to hear this.

How could he not notice this? He failed to notice his best friend's depression! Goggles felt like a horrible friend he is for not noticing. "I'm sorry...for not noticing..." Goggles quietly said. Glasses shook his head. "It's fine..." He said. He didn't hug Goggles back.

"From now on, I'll take care of you." Goggles said. This made Glasses flinch. "D-Don't!" Glasses said. "I don't want anyone to care for me...Just stay out of this..." Goggles shook his head and looked at Glasses. "No...! I'm not leaving you alone." Goggles explained.

Glasses just stared back at him. He didn't know what else to say. He knew that whatever he says, Goggles won't buy it. He slowly hugged Goggles back. "Are you sure...you want to do that for me...?" Glasses asked. "Yes, I'm sure." Goggles said.

Glasses began to cry again. "Okay..." He said quietly. Goggles did a small smile. "Let me clean that cut for you. Glasses slowly held out his left arm. This left Goggles shocked at how many scars were on Glasses's left arm. "6 scars...? Oh my god, Glasses..." Goggles mumbled to himself.

He then cleaned the recent cut, which made Glasses yelp due to the sting. "It will be okay, don't worry." Goggles said. Glasses whimpered, but nodded. Once he finished cleaning it, he managed to put a band-aid on it. "There you go." Goggles said with a small smile.

He then looked at Glasses. "I'm sorry for causing all this..." Glasses said to Goggles. "No, it's fine." Goggles replied to him and hugged him. Glasses slowly hugged Goggles back. "Just don't tell anyone this...please..." Glasses begged to him. "I won't. Don't worry." He replied and Glasses slowly smiled at him.

"Do you want to go get some ice cream to cheer you up?" Goggles asked to Glasses. "Sure, I guess." Glasses replied to him. Goggles smiled and Glasses was also smiling at him. Glasses then rolled down his left sleeve and they headed out.
