soul crushing angst just for you
"You're sure you're gonna be okay?"
Hunter had spoken lowly, voice earnest. Wrecker shrugged him off, smiling. "'Course I will be, why wouldn't I be?"
"It's just that–" Hunter cast a look to Echo and Omega, who were pulling their shoes on. "–none of us have been alone since, you know."
He knew, but he immediately squashed the feelings that rose with the mention. "Hunter, I'll be fine. Just text when you're on the way home."
Hunter studied him for a moment longer, then sighed. "Alright." He pulled away, zipping up his jacket. "We won't be long."
Echo, Omega and Hunter filed out of the house, leaving Wrecker alone. Not actually alone, he knew, because Crosshair was still asleep upstairs.
Still, when the door shut, Wrecker felt alone.
He moved through the house, unsure of just how deep a sleep his younger brother was having, trying not to wake him up. He went to the kitchen, checking his phone.
He tinkered with what he could, passing the time with meaningless tasks. When the afternoon hit, Wrecker was up again, making lunch.
He was always the one on lunch duty, already absentmindedly making lunch for the others for when they decided to come back.
He set Crosshair's on a tray just outside his room, where he knew the smell of the freshly toasted bread would coax him from the sheets.
He had the others done and put away, so he picked up the other tray and walked downstairs.
He got to their extended room, originally meant to be a bedroom, but once they had gotten Hunter's van, they had insisted on keeping it indoors.
Now it served as a garage, and at one point, a work station for Tech.
Wrecker knocked on the door. Then pushed into the room. "Lunch–" He started, then stopped.
The room was empty.
It took an embarrassingly long time to remember that it would stay empty, for the rest of their lives, probably.
Wrecker stared at the unfinished projects strewn across the table, at the looped letters scribbled on plans and notes that were stuck and spread out across the workbench. He looked at the worn wood, at the blood splatters. He could recount every incident causing those splatters, in order.
The list ended as abruptly as—
Wrecker tore his gaze from the bench to the carefully packed toolbox sitting on the floor.
Tech's initials were etched into it with a messy child's scribe. Those tools were older than all of them, a gift from one of their designated social workers before they had been placed back with Nala Se.
It hadn't been a huge thing, still he cherished it. The paint had chipped and faded with age, but he wouldn't replace it.
Now, the toolbox was already collecting dust.
With a shuddering breath, and the tray forgotten, Wrecker had sunk to his knees. Hot tears welled in his eyes, blurring his view of his baby brothers beloved station.
He would never sit there again. He would never eat there again. Wrecker would never get the chance to chide him for getting grease on their cutlery, because he would never be there to do it.
Tech was never coming back.
He wasn't sure how long he sat there, sobbing over the empty room. It felt so silly, such a large chunk of their house feeling so small. Without him, Wrecker felt the ache of unfinished work. Undone notes, half written sentences no one would ever understand.
He never got around to asking the right questions. The questions that led him into a speil, the ones that kept them waiting for longer than needed, the ones that, at one horrific point, made Wrecker roll his eyes.
If he could, he would travel back in time to beat himself up, screaming at him to never take their little brother for granted again. Because now that he was gone, Wrecker wanted nothing more than to listen to him.
Anything, he would give anything to hear his voice just one more time.
He heard the door creaking as it was opened, and couldn't bother to stifle his cries. He just wanted to be left alone.
"I haven't been in here since before it happened." Crosshair's voice was soft. "I thought if I was lucky, he'd come back before Hunter made us clean it."
Wrecker let out a wet laugh, nodding along as Crosshair sat down beside him. "It's quiet," Wrecker gasped out, wiping his eyes. "I had no idea how nice it was to hear the stupid sound of him tinkering."
Crosshair didn't verbally reply. "Sometimes–" Wrecker sniffed, wiping his eyes. "–sometimes I forget. That he's not here. I think my brain thinks he's still in school, that he'll be back by the evening."
Again, no response. "He's not coming back." Wrecker finished quietly. "I keep forgetting."
Crosshair took a shuttering breath. "Me too." He mumbled. "Been waiting to wake up, for him to laugh at me for having such a weird dream."
Wrecker leaned on his brother. "I miss him." His voice cracked.
Crosshair drew a sharp breath, and said nothing.
gonna be honest, this was a tough one to post, but writing it was really cathartic, so hopefully it'll reach the right people !!! I'll finish up the rest of the fic soon, so be ready for that :)

Coming to terms with being autistic is both joyful and full of mourning, on one hand im so happy to no longer be worried about being """"normal"""' on the other hand i'm becoming more aware of my difficulties and knowing i won't simply "grow out" of them makes me a bit sad. I have expanded my limits a lot, which i'm proud of! but i know there will always be an effort in my part to do things others wouldn't think twice about. At least i'm a determined bitch who doesn't give up!!!!

Um hello do you ever make an au and then are too lazy to make an actual story so you just skip to the ending and draw that 👍👍👍 also in archie style because im obsessed and i really needed to try doing that
Tumblr media
or whatever. Something from my au that gets rid of the paradox prism and is simply a ‘journey to alternate dimension where something went wrong’ type story
