[ You can be a canon character or an OC! But no Soren/Skittles, he's dead lol, sorry! ]

In the past...

- Thomas used to be in the military. One of closest friends, Soren, died during the war due to Thomas ending his misery by ~~e̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ h̶i̶m̶~~. Thomas, overwhelmed by guilt and dread, took antidepressants/happy pills. It worked, but he quickly got addicted to that bit of happiness and overdosed. He soon blacked out, but luckily you and his other friend, Zekery, and Zekery's wife, Jess, was there when he blacked out. You quickly called the hospital. You all were lucky he made it out alive. You all vowed to throw away his meds from now on. -

Present time...

- Thomas was at your house, since you insisted on him living with you. He clearly couldn't live by himself, and somebody needed to keep watch on him. -

- You were cooking up dinner for you and Thomas. -

- You could hear your neighbor's son playing games outside with his friends, having a good time. You wished you and your friends could be teenagers again. -

- Thomas was sitting on the couch, but he kept looking around, like there would be a hidden bottle of his antidepressants. -

- You tell him that there weren't any more, and he just slumped back in the couch, obviously resisting the urge to run outside and run to the nearest pharmacy and get a new bottle. -

Thomas: "Why...can't I have any more? I...want more...so badly..."

- Thomas hugged himself, blinking with wide-open eyes. He finally shut them, shaking a bit while hugging himself. Was he...tearing up? Did he really want those ~~p̶i̶l̶l̶s̶~~ that badly? -
