[that-ghost-in-the-corner]

Eric derekson and chase Brody #22 (two miserable people meeting at a wedding. Eric is sad because he hasn’t found anyone to love yet and Chase is sad cause he lost the one he loved (and the kids) and when they come together it’s just the two of them being self deprecating but trying to get the other not to be. Eric is always anxious and talking about how he’s stupid and messed up and Chase is just being a genzkid in an adult divorced body OR IT CAN BE SMTHN ELSE IM NOT FORCING YOU TO DO THIS

IM SO SORRY I JUST SAW THIS :( also sorry if its really bad :/ XD and ig i wanted to do this XD sorry if i went off course tho ;-;

It hadn’t started as instant therapy, but somehow it turned into that.

neither of them had been feeling good about anything, even though its a wedding and its supposed to be a joyous time of 2 people proclaiming their love for one another. Specifically Wilford’s wedding, so everything was pink and yellow.

Eric had been walking around the after party, and had accidentally drifted toward the fan. There he met Chase Brody, where that frown did not fit that gorgeous face. Chase felt a eyes on him so he turned and looked at Eric. Eric's face somehow got more red and he looked away rather hurriedly. Chase tapped Eric’s shoulder and smiled when he turned back. God that smile fit in perfectly with that face. Eric blushed so heavily he was confused how there was still blood left in the rest of his body.

“So whats your name Mr. Tomato?” Chase asked with a tease in his voice.

“ummm. i-it’s uh e-Eric d-Derekson duh-dude...” He mentally kicked himself cause he may have just blew his chance with this ethereal man.

“So, Eric Derekson “dude” how do you know the bride and/or groom?” 

“He’s uh, he’s umm a f-friend of m-my dad-d.”

“Oh mood, he was a friend of... of... stacy” Tears start drowning his face, and Eric does the only thing he can do in this situation, he hugs him tight in an effort to help. 

“I’ve.. I’ve lost ev-everything...” chase mumbles between shudders.

“N-no you h-h-haven’t. Y-you s-still have your h-heavenly looks-s!” Eric said and blushed yet again.

The sobs seemed to stop for a second before continuing. “B-but you’re th-the one w-with the goo-ood looks...”

Eric didnt know how to respond to that. He had never been told he was good looking, let alone complimented before, so he had his complete doubts about that statement. 

“N-no you h-have to b-be, im j-j-just a d-dude with n-no legs-s. I’m n-not even c-close to y-your level..”

“B-but you ar-rent the l-living vers-sion of the s-spider-man and-and Unc-cle Ben’s r-rice meme..”

“Wha- what’s a m-meme?”

Chase stops and pulls away from the hug. his eyes and cheeks are tear stained but the tears have stopped. in their place is a face of confusion.

“You don’t know what a meme is?”

Eric did not like that expression, especially when it was pointed at him. he’d seen it so many times, he’d began to ignore it. but this one seemed different. it was pity, but a different kind. like it was something he could do, just hadn’t.

“N-no... C-could you t-t-tell me? Please?”

Chase laughed and oh god, it was wonderful to hear that laugh.
