Vicky clutched tightly to Shutter, her resting body slowly breathing in and out.

1557389
"What are you doing..." Shutter looked to her with a sad look.

1557436. "I'm hugging you silly." Vicky explains. Her bare chest hanging loose.

1557444
Shutter's took the backside of his fingers and gently rubbed her cheek. The soft texture of her skin was enough to put any man into a state of sexual drive, but Shutter stood vigilantly as he took off his jacket and placed it on her. "Please cover yourself." He looked to her with soft, but stern eyes.

1557461 I let the jacket hang loose, the two sides framing my breasts. "Someone has been sad lately. I'm here to fix that."

1557475
Zipping up the jacket I look at her and shake my head. "No... not this time..." I begin to walk away.

1557494 "b-but, I was the one feeling sad..." I explain tearfully.

1557513
Shutter turned his head back toward her and a few tears could be seen falling from his nose. "I'm sorry Vicky... I'm not the man you thought I was."

1557531 "explain, now." Vicky ordered forcefully.

1557540
"I'm not one to just throw myself into lust so easily... I'm so ashamed of myself... To allow myself to become this way..." He lowered his head and shook it side to side. "Please forgive me, but I respect you to much to allow myself to sexually attack you..."

1557582 "... but that's what I wanted.."

1557611 He fully turned to her to and stared at her. "What I wanted was for you to be happy and you found it. It's been with you the whole time." He sadly sobbed as he stepped backward to leave.

1557630 "ohh no you don't" I pull out my rope and lasso the idiot.

1557730 Quickly pulls out a pocket knife and cuts the rope. "Stop, Vicky I know your tricks... I'm not falling for the rope."

1557744 ((if you just don't want to NSFW say so, ))

1557769
((you really think I'm an idiot ))

1557769
I hate it when you make me feel this way...

1557769>>1559157 ((you are saying stupid things, I don't want you gone!))

1559235
Well thank you for being blunt with me. I Wasn't going to leave.

1559235
When he came to he realized that he didn't cut the rope in time and that he was completely tied up in a spread-eagle fashion in only his briefs. "Vicky I Okay I give I hate this... Why do you treat me so meanly all I ever wanted was to make you happy!" His voice echoed in the room. There was only the light above his head angling the narrow light only a few feet around him. Darkness was the only thing he could see beyond the ring of light.

1559927 "Why do you keep talking like you intend to disappear all of the time?!" I counter angrily.

1559944
"One: there's always a chance of me dying, everyday. And Two: I... I just don't think you like me the way you should. You should be with Fade... not me." He closed his eyes with tears in the corners of them.

1559944
"PLEASE don't ignore me again it's breaking my heart!"

1559970 "I like you, fade likes you, what's the problem?"

1560052 "Right now... ME! I'm the problem. Apparently I'm stupid and an idiot all the while I just wanted to say I have some respect for you. I feel like a sex toy more than anything else. I don't want to be something you can toss aside whenever you wish. I want to feel like someone important to you. Is that so bad?"

1560052 (I'm actually crying right now)
"VICKY! This hurts so bad..."

1560305 i haven't been ignoring you, I was doing this while helping my grandma

1561106
I have had time to think and I know that I'm just overreacting to it all... I'm not going to stop you from doing what you do well. I am still your friend... But I can't keep up pretending that I don't care anymore. Truth is I do.

I care deeply about you and feel that it is not right of me to treat you any less than what you are... ONE of My best friends. I no longer wish to do NSFW's Because I don't feel right doing them, even if they were some of the best I ever read. It's just not me. I'm sorry.

1561230 that is just fine, that's all you needed to say.

1561298
Then why do I feel like my heart just got punched

1561320 I don't really know the answer to that.

1561385
Look at it this way now you don't need to hear me apologize lol...

Now I wish I was still at the fire... GAH!

1561397 so is that guy really your nephew?

1561601 crazy-chicken13 yes he is... Why?

1561637 I won't seduce him then

1561668
...... I don't care do what you want.

1561692 it was just a joke... Remember I'm a guy.

1561708
Yeah how can I forget...

1561729 I kinda suspect that's the real reason you want to stop NSFWing.

1561784
It doesn't matter what's done is done...

1561815 you are still a better writer and artist, and the next time I hear "I don't deserve" or "I'm not worthy" you're getting booped.

1561834
Shakes his head furiously. "I DON'T CARE IF I AM! I'M NOT! Have you read my work recently! Rubbish the whole thing! I MIGHT AS WELL BE A CAR MECHANIC CUZ I CAN'T DO DAMN NEAR ANYTHING HERE!" Breaths heavy as he spoke with a hoarse voice. "It doesn't matter what I do anymore... I'm to always be a failure!"

1561947 I have read your work recently, it is just as good if not better. Your artwork certainly hasnt gotten worse. You aren't a failure.

1561947 An Artists Dream HAS gotten worse, my stories always do. I just can't maintain quality in anything I do.

1562029
YOU KNOW NOTHING OF FAILURE! Do you know what I said to my nephew before he decided to take his life. "You're too stupid to understand the important things in life." <---THAT RIGHT THERE IS FAILURE!!

1562058>>1561947
Just stop it, both of you. You're both FANTASTIC artists and GREAT writers. I don't care what either of you say, I will always hold the both of you in high regard in all respects. I'm tired of this damned self hate, it's gotten to all of us, and it's making us sick in the head. We have each other to help, all you need to do is STOP PUSHING AWAY! I don't want you to feeling like you're anything less than perfect, because in my eyes, that's what you both are. Perfect.

1562097 1562105
No more self hate,,, I can try.

1562105>>1562120
I don't know if I can... there are days where I just wish I could step out of my body.

1562105>>1562120
But I'll try

1562231>>1562120
I'm just tired of all the hurting, I can't take it anymore. I just want you both to feel better, and I'd to anything to make it happen, but I can't, and it hurts, knowing I can't really do anything for you two.
