And so, Quantum ran like there was no tomorrow. Faster than he could ever run. He eventually reached a large tree trunk before sitting down and sobbing his eyes out.

First, someone he called a friend pushed him down a staircase. Then he died and suddenly gained a new body.

Now? His husband hates him.

He has every right to hate me anyway, he thought. I should’ve just stayed dead when Pharynx pushed me down those stairs...

However, he then heard a familiarly deep voice mumbling. His eyes widened, then he turned to look around the tree to see a tall, dark cyan reformed changeling—with a few casts of bandages wrapped around his legs—curled up against the tree trunk while sniffling quietly.

Pharynx. Quantum got up and walked towards him. “I’m guessing you’re finally out of the hospital?”

“Mhm,” was his only response.

Quantum sighed heavily, his eyes moistening again. “I still can’t believe I lost everything within a single week... my body, my life... my husband.” His voice broke when he uttered that last word. “What about you?”

“...Bezier...”

Quantum’s eyes bulged. “What was that?”

Pharynx blushed. “I didn’t say anything...”

“I’m pretty sure you said my best friend’s name, buddy. What, you hittin’ on her or something?”

The one answer he got was Pharynx sweating and blushing. “Uhh...”

“No fucking way, man; you actually have a crush on Bez?”

“Well, I... uh...” Pharynx’s face continued to heat up.

“That’s why you tried to split our friendship apart?”

“...”

“Come on, buddy, spill.”

“...yeah.”

“Well, how long have you been keeping it without telling her?”

“I-I don’t know, okay?! I mean, how am I supposed to tell her how smart, and funny, and tough she is compared to the shitty fangirls I have to put up with?!”

Quantum smirked a little when Pharynx said those things. “Well, the least you can do is tell her, right?”

“Dude, I...“ Pharynx sighed. “I don’t think she even wants to look at someone who killed her best friend by pushing him down the stairs.”

“Er... right.”
