#make kody an interdimensional stream

Ya'll ever think about how Freelancer would struggle to watch Bambi?

TW of assault because.. Kody. We all know why, but for the new bandwagoners, this is in reference to Freelancer Season 1

Like, Imagine FL, Gavin, and Caelum are having a movie night and Caelum decided to watch the movie with the cute fawn on the cover image. FL warns the two that there's a theme of loss and Caelum swears up and down that he can handle it.

They press play. They were so wrapped up in making sure Caelum would be okay that they'd completely forgotten about one of the transition scenes. Particularly when it starts raining.

"Drip drip drop little April showers...."

Freelancer's stomach began to sink. The air around them felt cold, yet stagnant. They could feel the acid try and push its way up and out.

A song once so comforting and nostalgic had become a gross reminder. Freelancer tried to lie. Told the demon and daemon that the knots forming were just nerves for the upcoming scene. Worried for Caelum's sake. It wouldn't be a complete lie.

They might have believed them if they hadn't made a beeline for the restroom. Freelancer sat kneeled at the toilet bowl. They couldn't hear Caelum at the door. They didn't even register Gavin holding their hair away from their face or him rubbing their back. All they could hear was Kody.

Why did he blame Huxley? Why did he blame them? Why did he try to make them feel bad for speaking up? He wasn't innocent. He knew that before he invaded their core. So why do they still feel so bad about the situation? Something that happened over a year ago. Something they're still learning the gravity of.

A simple song was no longer cute and innocent. It was the song Kody's words marched to. The song he sung when they'd first met. A children's movie about a fawn sent them spiraling.

Gotta love the drafts. Another half thought through fic/ concept cause it's late and I'm lazy.
