Chapter 1: ★ Comfort time

It was a normal day at the survivors' cabin. Everyone was either busy doing something or just resting after the previous round. Elliot was healing the others who were wounded, Shedletsky was practicing his sword skills after failing his swings TWICE in a row and the others were doing something too. At the same time, Taph and Two Time were spending some time together as usual. They were almost inseparable lately after they surprisingly got together. No one expected it, but no one questioned it either. Good for them. At least Two Time was too busy spending time with Taph to yap about their cult to the others or whatever.

The moonlight shined dimly through the curtains of the cultist's room, their dagger on their nightstand glimmering slightly in the light. Two Time was resting on their bed, cuddling with Taph as usual. Their bodies pressed together in a warm, comfortable embrace as they both slept peacefully. It was just a calm night.. what's the worst that could happen?

A few moments passed, the moonlight shifted with each passing minute.. Two Time then began to stir in their sleep. Ever since the sacrifice, they've been having never-ending nightmares about Azure, the guilt always eating away at them, no matter how much they believed it was for a good cause or how much they tried to forget it. The day they sacrificed their own partner. His last "I love you" before the glow his their eyes, body becoming colder in their arms. The mere thought of it sent shivers down their spine. They hated that memory. It stung so bad, even after all this time.

Two Time woke up after a while with tears in their eyes. They sat up, turning on the small lamp on their nightstand. Of course, them moving woke up Taph who was still next to them. He sat up as well, tilting his head curiously.

- Oh.. you're aware.. sorry.. didn't mean to wake you up from your peaceful slumber..

Two Time apologized politely, trying to hide the fact that they were in tears at the moment as its voice cracked slightly.

- (Nightmare?)

Taph signed with his gloved hands. Even with his face covered, Two Time could tell the mute survivor had a worried look in his eyes.

- Yes.. unfortunately.. Same one as always.. But uh.. it's nothing, really-

- (No. It's not "nothing", Two.)

Taph protested, moving closer to the cultist.

- (I know that day still haunts you. You mentioned it many times. And I know it's not just nothing. It means a lot to you. You and Azure were close.. I can see it still hurts you to this day)

- I appreciate your concern, the Spawn is most certainly pleased by your worry but-

- (Two Time. If you appreciate my concern, then let me help you.. You know I hate seeing you like this)

Taph signed more urgently, worry filling his actions.

- Ah.. alright.. if you insist..

Two Time muttered in defeat as a sigh left their lips. They weren't able to react properly though, as they were soon pulled into a warm hug.

- ...Thank you, Taph..

They said with a fond expression, tears threatening to fall. Taph, of course, noticed this and gently rubbed their back with his hand as a simple action of comfort. The cultist couldn't hold it in anymore as they teared up more, tears falling down their cheeks.

- ..You.. don't have to deal with me every night, y'know..

Two Time said through their tears, clearly feeling guilty about being such a burden to the mute survivor. Taph on the other hand didn't mind comforting them. It shook its head as if to say "you're not a burden to me". His wings gently wrapped around them both, making a safe space for them both. He really wanted to help them at least somehow.

- .. You're the best, you know that?.. The Spawn has blessed me with your presence.. you're like an angel sent from the above..

The cultist said, hugging Taph tighter. They were glad he actually took care of them whenever they needed it, comforted it whenever it needed it. It was truly important to them.

Taph pulled away from the hug and gently grabbed Two Time's face, wiping away its remaining tears. He pulled off the mask covering his face and kissed their forehead. He then signed with his hand

- (I'm glad you think so.. I love you.. never forget that)

- .. I love you too..

The two spent the rest of the night hugging until they fell asleep. It was a nice moment for the both of them. A night full of comfort and genuine love.

MY SHAYLASSSSSS

Chapter 2: ★ Angst | Dead Taph

Notes:

★ SUGGESTED BY: Nightfall sys (Don't remember who exactly) since they wanted me to kill off someone AND April who suggested for it to be Taph
★ TW: This chapter might contain but not be limited to mentions of sh, death, depression.

(I'm gonna cry cuz Taph is one of my favs but uhh I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU)

(don't execute me pls 🫶)

(Yes I know they can all respawn but this is for the sake of this fic, in this, Taph failed to respawn somehow and yeah yada yada he's GONE!!!)

 

It's been a few days since Taph's unfortunate death. Two Time couldn't stop thinking about it. It was their fault, after all. They failed to protect him. They FAILED. They couldn't get the image of Taph getting killed by 1x4 right in front of them out of their head. It was a terrifying sight. They thought he'd respawn though, as always. But he didn't. He never did. He was gone. Just like that. No trace of him anywhere. The guilt kept gnawing at them. How could they fail him so badly? They could've easily prevented this if they found him earlier!

Currently, Two Time was in their room, not bothering to go see the others. They've been silent ever since Taph disappeared without a trace. Their usual crazed smile kept faltering, no matter how much they tried to keep it. The pain of losing their lover hurting them without rest. They couldn't believe they lost someone they loved AGAIN. And it was their fault again, too.

They stared aimlessly at the ceiling, their face wet from crying. They silently spoke to themselves, the pain in their poor heart not stopping.

- .. It's all my fault he's gone.. Spawn.. why must you do this? I know it's not your intention to cause suffering, I won't try to question your actions any further.. but.. why?.. WHY must you take him away from me?..

They muttered, clearly missing the mute survivor. He comforted them when they needed it.. who were they going to turn to now? Only Taph knew about what they did and didn't turn away from them. The others would definitely fear them if they knew.

- ..Dear Spawn.. please.. guide me through this moment just like you did before.. I ask for your guidance once more..

They prayed silently. Of course, Spawn wasn't real. But they didn't know that.. yet. They still believed in it. And they sometimes heard it's voice.. Of course it wasn't real as well! It was just their head. But they didn't know.

- ..Pay for my sins?.. What sins..

They asked as they heard a voice.

- ..I.. Okay.. I won't question it..

Two Time sighed and sat up. Their eyes went to their sacrificial dagger on their nightstand, glistening in the moonlight. The same dagger they had once used to kill Azure with. They reached for the blade and unwrapped some of their bandages.

- ..I must do as you please.. please, give me strength Spawn..

They mumbled, sliding the blade across their arm. They didn't react to it too much, but they watched how the red of their sins slowly dripped down. They promised Taph they wouldn't do it.. but he was gone.. and the Spawn asked for it. They must listen to the Spawn, no matter the cost.

- .. I've failed him.. I've sinned..

They said out of guilt. Despite them hearing to do it once, they couldn't stop themselves from doing it a few more times..

After a while, they sighed tiredly and wrapped the bandages around their wounds. Once they were done, they laid down on their bed and fell asleep.

 

The next day, sunlight lit up the whole room, Two Time woke up just as it hit their face. Sunny weather here was rare, since it was usually dark, but they didn't complain. It would be better if Taph was here with them though.. damn it! They should really stop thinking about him.. he was gone..

Through the whole day, Two Time barely left their room and barely ate anything again. That made the others worry. Specifically, 007n7. He knew the others didn't really like the cultist and were weirded out by them.. but he wanted to help. He walked up the stairs of the cabin and knocked on their door.

- Two Time.. you in there?..

He asked, waiting for a response.

- ..Yeah.. what is it? Need anything?

- Can I come in?

- ..sure

Soon, 007n7 entered the room. He saw Two Time sitting tiredly in bed, looking absolutely horrible.

- ..What do you want?

They asked curiously, their smile struggling to stay normal.

- .. I've noticed you haven't been leaving your room for quite some time now.. You barely eat and looks like you don't take care of yourself at all..

- I'm quite fine, 7n. I'm not sure what are you talking about!

They said happily, but 007n7 could see through their facade.

- Two.. I know you miss Taph. We all do. But.. Don't you think he'd be upset to know that you're still blaming yourself for his death and not taking care of yourself? I understand how you feel.. I know how it feels to lose someone important. I want to help..

- ..I.. appreciate it..

- I'll bring you something to eat. You look like you're about to pass out from starvation or something.

After a few minutes, the man returned to the room, placing some food on the nightstand. Thankfully Elliot made something for the cultist despite them not going to eat for a few days straight.

- Here.. now.. I know you're upset.. devastated, even.. so If you want to talk, I'm here to listen

He assured with a warm, gentle smile.

- .. Don't you think it was my fault he's gone though?..

- Of course not! Why? It's not your fault you were away.. and it's not your fault he didn't.. respawn.. or something. You couldn't have known it wouldn't work this time. It wasn't your fault at all.

- ..But I could've prevented this..

- Two Time. Listen to me. It wasn't your fault. None of us knew he'd disappear forever. None. And I know that Taph wouldn't be happy with you blaming yourself for this.

He said, putting his hands on Two Time's shoulders

- It's not your fault.

He repeated, wanting the cultist to finally accept it.
Two Time on the other hand simply teared up and hugged 007n7, the guilt still not leaving. The pain of Taph being gone overwhelming them.

- ...I miss him..

Two Time managed to say through sobs.

- ..I know you do, I know..

007n7 sighed and hugged them back.

- .. I'll be here for you through this hard time.. okay?.. I'll make sure you take care of yourself.. for Taph..

Two Time sobbed quietly and managed to say;

- ..For Taph...

Chapter 3: ★ Forgotten | Angst

Notes:

Gulp I know I promised smth happy but I HAVE NO IDEASSSSS
anyways
★ Suggest by; Nightfall sys (Forgot who exactly again uhhh)
IT WAS LONG AGO OKAY AND I FINALLY GOT THE MOTIVATION
Anyways
Taph forgets about Two Time WOOO (release me)

It was a normal day at the cabin. Everyone got pretty used to living here, some even became way happier than ever.. in a way.. if you put running away from killers and being stuck for an unknown amount of time of course! For example, Taph and Two Time! Who would've thought the two would get together right? Surprising I know! You'd think it wasn't gonna get worse around here.. until today.

Two Time was hanging around the cabin, minding their own business, that included praying of course. They still believed in the Spawn after all. Once they were done with their usual routine, they decided to look for Taph. They absolutely LOVED spending time with him! He was an amazing partner. He meant the world to them.

The cultist walked around, searching for their beloved, until they finally found it. The mute survivor was sitting alone outside, looking at the dark sky covered in stars.. it was a beautiful sight and Taph loved star gazing from time to time.. everyone wondered if the stars in this realm are even real though.. however, even if they weren't they were still breathtaking.

- Greetings my love! Pleasure to see you again!

Two Time exclaimed happily, hugging Taph from behind. He, however, looked surprised. He stood up and put some distance between them before signing with his hands;

(Who are you and why are you calling me that?)

Two Time laughed of course, thinking it's a joke.

- Very funny Taph. Quit playing around! You know who I am

(No.. I don't know who you are..)

Two Time froze, realizing that it was serious..

- what?..

They asked, fear suddenly filling their expression

- this isn't funny Taph..

(How do you know my name?..)

- ...You.. really don't remember me?

(Have we met before?)

What was happening?.. What for the love of Spawn could've made Taph completely forget them?!

- I'm your partner, Taph..

(I don't have one)

- Taph please-

The cultist spoke in a pleading tone which was slowly filling up with desperation.

- You can't just forget me!

(I don't even know you!)

 

Later that day, Two Time kept asking the other survivors about what happened to Taph. How could he possibly forget who they were?! How?!.. They spent so much time together.. shared so many kisses.. what was going on? They didn't understand, the situation too stressful for them to grasp it properly. No one knew why was he like that though. It was pointless.

Panicked, they prayed. Day and night. For a whole week while also asking him about them. They were desperate. This had to be a nightmare.

- Dear Spawn.. I beg you. Give me a sign, what's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly forget who I am? Have I angered you? If I did, please forgive me Lord. I will never disobey or anger you again. Please. I'm sorry. Help him remember me. I need him, oh Spawn.. please.. you can't do this to me..

They begged, tears welling up in their eyes. They were nothing without Taph. He was their lifeline (see what I did there?). He comforted them all the time. Who would do that now that he didn't even know who they are?..

 

Days went by, nothing has changed. Two Time felt miserable, crying a lot more from the emotional rollercoaster of fear and sadness.

- I don't know if there's anything I can help with.. this situation is strange.. he seems to remember everything but you..

Elliot said, because he decided to talk with the cultist.

- There must be a reason as to why he's like this..

- Yeah..

- ... Maybe I should do something that would remind him of us.. as a couple..

- You tried multiple times. Nothing worked so far..

- hm.. maybe star gazing together? We always did that.. or I'll just keep explaining everything to him..

- .. That's.. not a bad idea Two

- ..I think I'll try that..

- Good luck then. You'll need it bud.

- Thanks Elliot. May the Spawn bless you!

Two Time said in a happier tone and walked away.

In the evening, they sat next to Taph on the steps to the cabin.

- hey. It's me again..

(Hello) - the mute survivor signed

- ..The stars are quite beautiful tonight, aren't they? The Spawn truly blessed us with a breathtaking sight..

(I agree.. they're very beautiful indeed)

- Uh.. you know how I've kept asking you about me?..

(Yes. What about it?)

- look.. it seems like you forgot who I am..

(I just met you a few days ago-)

- don't. Let me explain everything

(Okay.. go on)

- so you see.. you.. me.. we're a couple. We have been for a very long time. We spent a lot of time together. You're my partner and I am yours.

(I apologize but I don't know you that well..)

Two Time clenched their fists.

- you do. You forgot about me. You remember everyone and everything else but what we had!

They said desperately.

(..Damn.. maybe the others were right.. you really are out of your mind..)

That stung. It felt like a stab to the heart. Taph would NEVER say that to them. Never. No.

They went silent, the words cutting in deep. Before they could respond, the mute survivor had already left.

They sat there, fists clenched, eyes wide.. they teared up, hugging their knees. Nothing worked. It was their last idea and it failed as well. Fuck. Why. Were they just going to be forgotten by their own partner? That thought alone felt like a stab to the heart.

They sat there without a word, sobbing quietly and praying this was all just a bad dream.

But it wasn't.

This was reality.

And it hurt.
