Final Exam!
Hello! I’ve been waiting for you. This test counts for a hundred percent of your grade so I  hope you studied. Before we began a few ground rules. 
When the timer sounds the test will start. To your left you will find a number two pencil. Please use it to mark your answer. Only mark one answer per question unless you are  told otherwise. You will answer about twelve questions. Not all questions count for the same number of points. Don’t try to leave the testing room. Keep your eyes on your own paper. Any breaking of the rules will result in termination.  A second timer will sound when your test is complete. Ready? You may begin! Good luck! 
Ready. One. Two. Three- 
You wake up in an empty bed, heart pounding so hard your whole body is shaking with it. White silk sheets are tangled around your body trapping you. You slowly untangle yourself scanning your surroundings, trying to teach yourself to breathe again. 
You’re in your bedroom you realize as your vision clears slightly. You don’t spend much time here anymore but you spent months designing this place and know it like the back of your hand. Shadows cling to the furniture, dusty from lack of use. Music drifts from the bright streets down below. The city lights don’t manage to fully reach up here casting odd shadows around your big empty room.
 You shiver as you get up, now that you're awake you might as well work. You’re not going back to sleep after that dream. You don’t remember falling asleep but you're still in your suit with a red tie knotted into your hair holding dark locks back. You must have kicked your shoes off somewhere before you passed out because you can’t find them. 
Whatever. It’s just you here, so you don’t have to worry about looking good. On the desk you shoved in the back of your room for nights like these, you find a stack of papers wet with what smells like whiskey and totally ruined. On top, having somehow survived the mess is a picture. 
Your own face grins up at you, cheeks dimpled with youth. You look so.. delicate like this. Your hair is messy, blown back by the wind and easy laughter dances on the edges of your mouth. You can see feathers peaking out of beanie, the golden tips brushing your flushed cheeks. An arm is around your waist, pale skin dotted in freckles. The owner of the arm is  careful to avoid the wings on your back. 
You can’t see his face behind a plastic mask but you know what exactly  it looks like. 
Freckles and sun kissed skin and jade green eyes. A nose that’s been broken too many times. A pale white scar down a high cheekbone. You know what he looks like laughing with his friends and half asleep and angry. 
 You know what he looks like broken and sobbing, blood and vomit on his face, those same green eyes bloodshot with tears as he lays at your feet a ruined mess.  
You look away quickly before your thoughts can spiral into that sweet darkness look away until the almost religious urge to tear and break and hurt is gone. You suck air into your broken lungs. You can’t focus on Dream’s face. You can look at George, his lanky body leaned on Sapnap, his eyes hidden by glasses and imagine him calling you an idiot.
 George is safe. Safe to miss because everyone misses George. George is always leaving. Your grief is shared and makes it less painful than Dream who you don’t miss at all or them. Your hands are shaking. You won't look at them. You won’t. You fail . 
Sapnap’s arms wrap around your shoulders leaning into you warm and playful and smelling of smoke. Karl is on on Dream’s other side, taller than all of you in his purple high heels caught mid laugh, eyes shifting from Purple to Blue  
You know by that point Sapnap had already had a crush on you. You know that Karl was genuinely laughing because his eyes are sparkling. It feels like a violation to know that much about people who hate you. Or- worse don't care anymore You feel sick looking into their eyes.
QUESTION ONE: WHEN WAS THIS PICTURE TAKEN?
Tumblr media
A.) Summer. You remember salty wind catching in your wings as you flung yourself into the cool deep blue of the ocean. You remember bursting to the surface a moment later, washed clean by the sun a man reborn. You miss them so much it hurts. Like someone reached into your ribcage and dragged your heart from your chest. Every time you wake up in a bed too big for one person you lose a piece of yourself. Soon you’ll be all gone. You drop the paper to the ground. 
B.) Winter. You remember how cold it was. How Karl complained, how  eroge demanded to be carried through the snow, how Sapnap took your hands when you complained about being cold. You remember Dream’s hands on your back between your wings as he pushed you into the ocean. You were both laughing as you fell. Now the memory fills you with anger. Fuck them for leaving you. You’re a wolf and they're are all fucking sheep. You will claw and bite through flesh. You will choke on sweet salty blood until you drown and they can fucking starve. Horse, water and drinking and all that. You pull out a lighter and tell yourself that your hand is shaking from anger. With a quick motion you light the paper aflame and watch your own face burn. 
C.) Spring. You remember playing Manhunt, chasing Dream through the newborn grass. All of you ended up sweaty and gross when the picture was taken. It hurts to look at the picture but the pain is better than the hallow in your chest you get when you try to ignore it. You're not sure what that says about you. You slipped the picture into your pocket and feel it burning a hole into your thigh. 
D.) Fall. The world was on fire. The five of you curled around the fire Sapnap had built. Karl fell asleep with his head in your lap and he was the most beautiful thing you had seen in your whole life. You stayed frozen, scared that any movement would frighten Karl both awake. . You should hate your own face. All of their faces. But you can’t. You’ve run out of tears, run out of emotions. Their faces are worn slightly where you’ve drawn your thumb over them. You tuck the picture into your pocket.
