Day 236 [action/closed]
[ Closed because I'm still actually on hiatus, and so as not to distract from the newbies. ]

[ When Dirk wakes up, his head is spinning, he feels nauseous and overwhelmed.

He cut his head off. They entered the game. Five months-- five months of nothing, of solving shitty game puzzles, of going on dates with Jake, and then...

...and now Dirk kind of wants to break something. He feels sick. What the fuck is wrong with him, how is he this much of a fuckup. Why is he such a piece of shit? With a light growl, he moves to get out of bed... and fails, because his boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, is fucking spooning him.

And then it all comes crashing into place. Dimensional stabilizer glitch. New memories of events he didn't actually experience, but they happened anyway? To alpha Dirk, he guesses? But he, this Dirk, has actually been here for the past two months.

He freezes in place as he tries to decide what to do. ]

	[ It's more Dirk-related, really. Because Dirk is a stupid fuckup who is sick of himself. He's on the ground, kicking at Bro and making to roll away. ] Yeah, I'd like to see you try! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bro just stares at his babyself in an extremely condescending way and calmly settles his weight over Dirk to keep him from rolling, taking a few kicks in the process but whatever. They'll just be bruises. And then he smoothly takes one of Dirk's arms and yanks, attempting to dislocate his shoulder.] Don't fucking test me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dirk grits his teeth to try and keep from screaming. A strangled howl of a sound escapes him and he goes limp underneath Bro. His breath comes in short, ragged bursts and his skin suddenly feels clammy. But in a way? He kind of feels like he deserved that. He kind of feels like he deserves more than that. He spits in Bro's face. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There's a flicker of something in Dirk's eyes that isn't pain. It strikes something deep in Bro, reminding Bro of something he had buried a long, long time ago. Pure, intense, self-hatred.

Dirk hates himself, feels like a fuck-up, doesn't mind the pain because he's a piece of shit and should be punched in the face. And who better to do that than himself? That's probably why he started this fight. This clearly wasn't as related to Jake as he thought. This was all Dirk.

He could help with this.

Bro wipes the spit off his face and grinds it with the heel of one of his palms into Dirk's tear-stained cheek. The other hand presses lightly against Dirk's windpipe, almost caressing.]

Kiddo...you fucked up real bad, huh.

[Sweely soft and so patronizing.]

	[ Dirk's heart skips a beat in his chest. He fucked up real bad. He's in a pretty awful position now. But it's no less than he deserves. He smirks up at Bro, but it's a hollow expression. ] Kiss my ass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bro stretches his fingers around Dirk's neck and squeezes when he smirks. He stops grinding in the spit and tenderly brushes away the bangs from younger self's forehead before bringing it down to join the other hand trying to cut of Dirk's air supply.] Think you'd enjoy that too much.

	[ A desperate gasp when Bro squeezes. He was expecting this, a little, but now that it's happening his first reaction is to panic. The arm whose shoulder isn't dislocated flails, hand shoving at Bro's face. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He expected a struggle, but he's not going to let up. He's going to see this to completion even though Dirk is trying to push him away. He tightens the chokehold to completely cut off the air and makes a low soothing noise in his throat, almost nuzzling his face against Dirk's hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Terror surges through his body. While it's certainly a nice change of pace from his visceral self-loathing, that doesn't stop Dirk from struggling and gaping like a beached fish.

For a few seconds, anyway. Before long he's feeling dizzy. His arm falls to the ground, vision tunnelling and blurring.

It's okay, though, he thinks to himself hazily. What better possible outcome could he hope for? ]

	[Bro watches Dirk's face very closely, noting when it ceases looking terrified and starts looking almost pleased. He can feel Dirk's pulse thudding under his fingertips and he's ready to let go as soon as he goes unconscious.] It's okay. I promise I'll give you exactly what you deserve.

	[ Later he'll look back on this and hate himself for appreciating it. But, he appreciates it. Unconsciousness swallows him up, a welcome reprieve from the hell that is Being Dirk Strider. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Bro's hands fall away from Dirk's throat immediately and he stands up. He looks down at babyself's body... sort of fondly. Also sort of annoyed. Dirk's such a dumbass. Was he that much of a dumbass when he was that age?? Probably. Sigh.

He scoops up Dirk's body, trying to mind the dislocated arm but also not really trying that hard. The bots will fix it. He can't really feel the pain right now.

And then he heads to the hospital.]
