Different Inside

A/N: woot! lookie here, something you barely ever find.... Red vs. Blue fanfic... with the characters from the actual mechanima. yeah... I didn't really know where else to put this besides in Misc. under games... it's not the best thing ever, and I admit, not the greatest work I've ever done, not very long either.

It's obvious I don't own Red vs. Blue... I'm not that funny...

It's not MY fault I slashed this... come on! All those little gay jokes?! Yeah, I'm a bad bad person... I admit it!!

Simmons wasn’t a very happy person, and he was always mean to boot. That’s when I decided that I was going to change all that, I didn’t know how… or why because Simmons was always kind of mean to me particularly, but… I just knew that he had to help my teammate.

However, nothing really worked, I tried getting him drunk, all the man did was rant and hit me a lot. After waking up in pain and bleeding, I decided that a different approach was necessary.

“Simmons, what the fuck is your problem?”

Of course, that wasn’t exactly what I was going for… but…

“Grif, you’re on crack. I don’t have a problem.” Simmons looked almost vexed as he turned away from me.

“It’s obvious that you do. I mean, you’ve been more mean then ever before. And last night, when we got drunk… well people usually become more relaxed and let their true emotions show, and all you did was beat the shit out of me!”

Simmons turned back around to face me. “It’s because I hate you, Grif”

I had gotten my answer, I almost felt like crying.

Turning, I left him alone.

I wouldn’t bother him again.

***

Of course I don’t hate him, I never did… but… I couldn’t exactly tell the man that the reason I beat the shit out of him was because I lo-liked… him… and I couldn’t stand the thought of it. I couldn’t stand the thought of actually trying to get close to someone, trying to be… civil… never.

That’s when Grif walked away. I know that I had pushed a little too far… and that he would never forgive me this time. It doesn’t matter to me… it doesn’t…

***

Whenever I would see him walking towards me, or we were stuck on duty together, I would place myself as far away from him as possible. After all, I wanted to help my teammate feel more happy… I should just take away the element that was pissing him off… and that was me.

Finally after at least two weeks of staying away from him, Sarge approached me about it. “Not that I care or any shit like that, but what the fuck is your problem?”

I blinked, Sarge was asking me what was wrong… “Sir… is the world ending?”

“What?! Of course it’s not ending! But since you’re being so pissy, Simmons is getting pissy, and I’ve had enough.”

I stopped and stared at him… wait a minute, Sarge wasn’t yelling at me… and Simmons was pissy because I was? “I don’t understand, sir.”

“You fucking ass wipe! Of course you don’t understand! You’ve got nothing but shit for brains! Forget I ever tried talking to your fucking dumb ass, you cockbite! I’m going to let Simmons slit your fucking throat in your fucking sleep!”

With that the Sarge turned and walked away. However, when Sarge was out of sight, before I could even wonder at what he was trying to tell me, Donut sauntered up to me, “You know, you’re making Simmons sad.”

“Donut, get your pink ass away from me… I don’t want to see anyone, least of all you.”

“Light Red. It’s LIGHT RED.”

I ignored him and walked away.

***

I watched as he walked away from the pink princess… he really didn’t know what he was doing to me. Maybe I should just take what I want from him.

I erased that thought from my head, it wasn’t fair.. neither to him nor me.

I guess that really only left one option for me.

Walking over to him and sitting down next to him I noticed that he was just staring off in to space, I could tell that I had hurt him pretty bad.

“Grif… I love you.”
