Warning: I almost made myself f*cking cry writing this-

How did the day start exactly?

Well everything was perfectly smurfly. The smart smurf had woken up and got ready to help others around the village or smurf advice to them. He hummed as he got out his smurfway and started to ride it around town. Looking for any smurf that would need help, he kept a close eye out. 

Maybe he should stop opening his mouth, huh? 

It wasn't hard to see they didn't need any help from him of all smurfs. Everytime he ran into someone, they would all run away, groan or plug their ears until he stopped. It was always like this, he was glad they stopped throwing him out of the village honestly, but no matter what, whatever they did to him still hurt. He jinxed himself there. At first, it was the usual. 

"Hey Brainy! I've got a surprise! Hyuk-hyuk!"

Why does he still open that box when he knows what will happen?

BOOM

"GOT YOU! Hyuk! Hyuk! Hyuk!" 

"Smurf up Brainy"

"No smurf cares what you have to say"

"I know what i'm doing!"

"I don't like smurfs who talk too much"

"I'm sorry Brainy, I don't need you right now, maybe find something around the village to help around with or just patrol like usual?"

Like that was any good...

Oh but then, something worse happened. Hes such a fool. He should of known what would happen. Why did he have to smurf advice to Hefty? Oh right, because he ALWAYS smurfs advice to anyone. 

"You're doing it all wrong, maybe if you lifted will your shoulders instead of your legs, you would be much stronger and fast-" 

"That's it- I'm sick and tired of your yammering!" 

Brainy was a second too late before he knew what was coming. He flapped his arms as he was kicked into the air and into the outskirts of the village. He should of braced himself for impact, he landed in a tree first, peices of bark scratching against him each time he landed on a branch. 

He fell out from a tall height and landed sharply onto a rock. Stumbling from the fall he knocked himself into various places and his glasses were askew on his face. It's a good thing they weren't broken, but as he fixed them, he yelped and hissed in pain. Blood rushed out from cuts and bruises seemed to deepen their color so they were more visible. He had to get back to the village, he decided against telling Papa, he would do nothing about it. No, he wouldn't tell Papa, he needed to let this out himself. 

***

To say Smurfblossom wasn't worried when she heard an all too familiar scream fill the air is an understatement. She was downright terrified for her friends life. She gulped and ran to the village, hoping some smurf would have the answer to what happened. Brainy never got lost, he would surely find his way back soon, he hated to be bossed around too much, so she stuck with figuring out what had happened. 

She asked around and soon enough after a lot of no's, head shaking, and Dimwitty just offering her a carrot, she approached Hefty. This was the last smurf she needed to check, if he didn't know, she didn't know what she'll do. 

Blossom knocked fast on the door and Hefty opened up, "Do you know what happened to Brainy? I heard him scream" her voice filled with worry exclaimed. Hefty rolled his eyes and was about to begin talking when all of a sudden the bell rang, they both paused what they were doing and ran to the tower.

***

Brainy was there, but he wasn't like any smurf seen before....

He was covered in bleeding out cuts, scars, bruises and scrapes all over. Rashes ran along his arms and a big one on his cheek. His hands were clenched into fists so much that any smurf was afraid he would make them bleed from too much pressure. 

The smurf was holding his left arm tenderly, like it was almost broken. His nose was bleeding too, pretty bad. Once Papa got there, he tried to run up to the injured smurf.

However, he was stopped by Brainy raising up his hand and growling out a "Don't come near me" 

"Brainy- what happened!?" Smurfette yelled out with concern, but he only turned to glare at her. He was trembling at this point, no he was downright shaking. Brainy snapped.

"Do you have any idea how it feels to get tossed out of the village on a daily basis every single smurfing day!? Of course you don't! I'm the only one who gets that treatment!" He laughs bitterly, and his voice turns up into a louder volume.

"IT SMURFING HURTS! EVERDAY, EVERY SINGLE DAY- EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS HAPPENS AND NO SMURF CHECKS UP ON ME OR EVEN NOTICES, NO SMURF EVEN TRIES TO STOP IT! I GET INJURED AND NO ONE SMURFS A SINGLE CARE IN THE WORLD, NO SMURF SAYS, "Oh hey, what happened to Brainy?" "Is Brainy okay?" "Is he hurt? Is he lost?" NO SMURF! ITS FINALLY SMURFED ME TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T SMURF IT ANYMORE- I- I C-I can't, I...I can't..."

Then he just broke, like a dam that was struggling so hard to hold the water in, had finally let it rush out into a waterfall of tears. Everyone stood there in shock, no smurf dared to make a single move or sound towards the spectacled smurf as he slid to the ground and started to cry, fogging up his glasses because of it. 

"Ho-How much is it to ask for a little respect every once in a while- o-or praise- or attention instead of being a punching back for everyone t-to poke around" Heavy sobs came out of Brainy. "Is i-it better if I just leave and n-never come back? I just want respect...I just...I just want...I just want to be loved...I-I want to be...I just..I can't do this anymore...I don't want to be alive anymore...I don't...I dont...i.." 

Hiccuping filled the air as Papa gulped down a lump in his throat, finally approaching his young apprentice. Blossom came up as well, bringing Brainy into a hug and letting him cry onto her shoulder. Papa Smurf joined the hug soon.

No one realized Brainy had felt this way. No one realized how much Brainy struggled with self worth. He needed praise, attention, anything of that nature even if It was just a little bit 

Since then, no one ever told him to smurf up or kicked him out again.

[apollos-boyfriend]

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about
