(Inspired off a Forsaken mini comic called NEED. Creds to Mitsu aka the creator of the comic.)
(#LovesnatchingHCs! Anyways, a hc someone had that I kindly snatched was that 1x1x1x1 sees Taph as a kind, smaller and silent cuz he mute version of Telamon, and he'd always feel bad for killing him during rounds because of that. Basically, he sees Taph as the Telamon aka creator he wanted, a kind one that cares abt him.)
(Also, this is heavily rushed because I had things to do so sorry if there's bad grammar, spelling errors or things just don't make sense. Basically any bad writing/spelling/punctuation is probably because it was rushed, so it went unrealized. Sorry about that, hope u still enjoy!)
Taph POV
Before the round flashbacks
1x1x1x1 was talking to his creator, Telamon (or Shedletsky). They were actually arguing rather than having a conversation, probably because 1x1x1x1 is literally Telamon's creation of hatred.
1x1x1x1: "I hate you."
1x1x1x1 said to Telamon, his anger and hatred towards him obvious.
Telamon: "And you've made it clear you hate me, since the day I've spawned in."
Telamon responded, not seeming to care much about 1x1x1x1's hatred towards him.
1x1x1x1 then brought up the times of him killing Telamon multiple times during rounds.
1x1x1x1: "Yet, no matter how many times I've killed you. . How much of YOUR blood I've spilled. ."
1x1x1x1 paused for a moment.
1x1x1x1: "Nothing. . ABSOLUTELY nothing. ."
Present, 1x1x1x1 is with Taph because Taph was just passing by.
1x1x1x1 didn't realize Taph (you) weren't Telamon, since the two of you looked super similar, so he mistaked you for Telamon. He then spoke, speaking the flashbacks in his mind.
1x1x1x1: "Can describe the FEELING. ."
1x1x1x1 paused again, still not realizing you weren't Telamon aka his creator. You being mute just looked concerned and worried for 1x1x1x1, despite him being a killer.
1x1x1x1 then spoke again.
1x1x1x1: "The NEED. ."
You looked shocked/surprised when he said that, but it wasn't too noticeable because your face was shadowed by the hood of your robes and covered with a bandit mask.
1x1x1x1 then clung to you before speaking again, thinking you were his creator, Telamon.
1x1x1x1: "To have you just hold me for awhile. . Like I am your proudest moment. ."
Taph was shocked and confused, he didn't know what to do since he didn't really know what was happening.
