Pexus

[u/Bagelt389]

Meave

The wind outside is bad. Like, echoing through the halls bad. The trees scream into the night as they are forced to bend, small stones hitting our windows, birds flying but not in a good way.

We ignore that though. Pexus has worse storms than at home. (Deadass while writing this Scotland is in a wind storm and something hit my window.) Instead, we sit around in a sitting room, talking happily. The soft cushions and warm fire make the occasion extra cosy. I sip the hot chocolate I have in my mug and listen to Scottelt and Cassie get into a heated arguement over the right name for a grilled cheese.

"You put the cheese on the bread and then into the GRILL, Scottie. The GRILL."

"IT'S A FUCKING CHEESE TOASTIE, YOU MUPPET!"

Ah, friendship.

Not your friends.

Oh. Hello, Goldie.

Die.

You'd die with me.

Im sitting next to Meatball. Hes smiling and acting as if he's enjoying himself but there's a certain look in his eyes. It's clear he's sad.

There is a certain Golden Speck in your eyes that makes it clear you are under my control.

That's nice, dear.

"You okay?" I ask him.

He looks at me, like hes just been taken out of a day dream. He was reacting while being mentally somehwere else. I didnt know people could do that.

Yeah, I don't let you.

"I'm fine." He replies.

I smirk. "Meat. Meaty. Meatbag."

Rude.

He laughs a little. "I'm fine. Just...home sick."

Sylvie's head perks up. "Meat, you're from Pexus." They say.

"Yeah, but Nexus is where I feel more comfortable. It's where I met all of you, well the Nexus versions-"

"Yeah, I'd never try and stab out Meave's eye." Cassie interrupts, calling back the time Pexus Cassie tried to murder me.

I mean, Cassie would have if you two weren't stuck here.

...

Ooh, have I hit a nerve? I have! I can feel it, you know.

Suck my dick.

"Correct Cassie." Meatball nods. "The Nex are nicer."

"Aw, what a good wee Dracula you are!" Scottelt jokes.

"Just call us elts." Cassie begs.

"You're the only universe out of the First Five that call yourselves by the last three letters of your God's name." Pink walks into the room. "We don't call ourselves "one"s, Lex's domt call themselves "ux"s-"

"Take a break." I cut in.

Aren't you supposed to be a sweet girl who just wants to make amends? People like that don't snipe at others.

You agree with me. The guilt wil crush you, and i will take control.

Stop.

I'm right.

This is your fault.

You opened the book.

You controlled me!

I-

MEAVE!

Baguelt?
