❝︎ BEING BORED IS AN ACTUAL EMOTION, NOT AN EXCUSE . ❞︎

Bored...

That's the one word that can describe how the characters are feeling right now. I mean, can you blame them? This is the first time when Y/n won't be with them the whole day, and they can't really contact him because they don't want to bother him while he's working.

Usually, the chaotic characters will be bugging Y/n all the time or causing havoc in the house just to have fun. They do this because they truly never had any fun in their world, nor did most people cared for them. So, knowing that they can have fun and Y/n is there to care for them, just makes them feel free.

The calmer characters would've been asking Y/n questions left and right. Asking about the new world, how things worked, and all the questions usually a child would ask. They were fascinated by Y/n's world, they felt safe in it, for the first time in a while.

Then, there was the quiet, conserved character. They didn't bug nor talk to Y/n much, they honestly didn't feel like they needed to. Although they kept to themselves, Y/n was always there to help them around, help them understand even though they never asked. They felt cared for, they didn't usually feel this but it was nice.

And without Y/n there to help, care, or create that safety net for the characters, they just felt lost. They didn't do anything, they didn't know what to do. Usually Y/n would be there to provide for them. They didn't realize that they depended on Y/n so much until today, when he was now out of their reach.

It was scary. Terrifying.

When they are alone, the character's minds can't help but wonder. And coming from their world, it was never good. All their overthinking thoughts darkened like how a person would dive deeper into the ocean. The thoughts were cold, dark, horrific.

'What if he doesn't come back?'

'What if something happens to Y/n?'

'Will he come back to us?'

'He won't leave us... right?'

'He won't abandon us, would he?'

'He will always come back to us, just like he said, right?'

'Does he even like us?'

'Does he even enjoy our presences?'

'Does he think we are just a burden?'

'He won't let us go... right?'

'Will Y/n always be by our side?'

Some broke down, some tried their best to hide it, and some were just stoned face, no emotions shown. From where they came from, the dark thoughts weren't supposed to be this bad, but now that they became attached to Y/n, they have worsened.

Jeez... being bored is just the worst...

Where was Y/n? The characters needed him to stay with them. They didn't want to be bored anymore. They wanted to feel free, to feel safe, to feel cared for. They wanted to feel happy, and that was when Y/n was with them.

Damn... being bored sucks...

Why was Y/n doing this for them? The characters knew that Y/n didn't need to care for them. Hell, Y/n had the option just to throw them out in the streets, but he didn't. They wonder why Y/n cared for them the way he did. Was it out of pity, out of kindness, out of boredom, or was it because of something worse?

God... being bored is hell...

Was Y/n bored before the characters showed up? Did Y/n have these dark thoughts? Does Y/n still have these dark thoughts? How does Y/n deal with dark thoughts? But... if Y/n had dark thoughts, why does he always have a kind smile on his face when talking to the character? Was he... masking it?

Being bored... should be normal... But why is it so scary...?

The house was quiet. Too quiet. The only sound was from outside, the crickets played their own music as there were soft sounds of cars honking or driving by. But there was no conversation, no laughter, it was all just dead.

Eren, being a huge victim to the dark thoughts of boredom, looked out the glass door that led to the backyard. He sat on the floor mindlessly counting the stars in the dark sky. It was hard since the lights in the house caused him to see his reflection instead.

The house was silent, until the sound of the front door being unlocked was heard. Eren perked up at the noise. He scrambled to get up as he made a dash to the front door, begging in his mind that it was Y/n and not one of his friends opening the door for fun.

Eren slid to a stop as he turned the corner. He painted slightly as he gaze at the door that was now being closed and locked by a familiar male.

"Hm? Oh, Eren, hello. I'm surprised you're at the door so quickly," Y/n let out a small chuckle as he took of his shoes.

Eren stared at Y/n for a second, "You're... back..." He breathed out.

Y/n raised a brow as he placed his keys down, "Of course I'm back? I didn't go anywhere beside work, of course I'm going to come back home."

Eren couldn't help himself and engulfed Y/n in a hug. The sudden action surprised Y/n as he stumbled backwards.

"Ack! Eren!" Y/n called out in surprise, "What... What's wrong? Did something happen? Do I need to go get you and the rest something?" There was a moment of silence, "Hey... Eren? Are you alright?"

Eren hugged Y/n tighter, "Don't go. We missed you, I missed you. It was... weird not having you home..."

Y/n blinked for a bit before smiling softly and petting Eren softly on the head, "Sorry, sorry. I know I came home a bit later, I just wanted to collect my papers so I can take less days at work for you guys. I'll be home most of the time but I will be needing to leave every other day, okay?"

"As long as you come back."

"Of course I'll come back. Now, how about yo let me go so I can make everyone dinner."

Eren reluctantly nodded as he let go of Y/n. He looked up at Y/n as he just smiled down at him with the same kind smile.

"I'm home everyone!!" Y/n called out as he now had a chance to take off his coat.

There was a loud bang from upstairs along with yelling from some characters. Y/n could only sigh as he walked into the kitchen, getting ready to cook something for everyone. One by one, the characters all ran to Y/n with smiles or a happy look.

Eren watched at Y/n was swarmed with all of his friends and commanders, he smiled a little. He didn't care about how big, or how small the house or the place he lived in, as long as Y/n was here he felt at home.

With Y/n here, there was home. When he is here, everyone feels cared for. When he's here, everyone feels safe. When he's here, everyone feels free. When Y/n L/n is here, there is no more boredom. No more dark thoughts.
