Work Text:
Shawn looked at Dave, he would have felt sad at the sight of his best friend crying (especially if he’d caused it) but for some reason he felt.. nothing.
pure numbness, his brain felt as if someone had just flipped a switch to make him feel this way.
“Why…” Dave sniffed, he really looked like a wreak.
”Why would you do this..?” Dave managed to say as he held Shawn’s fresh scared up arms, Shawn looked away from the black haired boys glossy eyes: He couldn’t bare to see the sight of how much hurt Dave was going through at the moment.
Shawn have Dave a simple ‘I don’t know’ still avoiding his gaze, obviously he knew why he did it: but he wasn’t going to tell Dave that.
”You don’t know? You sent me a text basically saying you were gonna kill yourself and you ‘Don’t know’?” Dave’s tone turned into one of anger of even annoyance.
Shawn was at a loss of words, not because he was surprised at the sudden tone change (though it did catch him a bit off-guard) it was because he didn’t know what words to say. Nothing he could possibly say would make Dave feel better, so he left the question unanswered.
”I-I just,” Dave choked up on his tears.
”I just don’t understand..”
Honestly.
neither did Shawn.
