Summary
“What kind of college has field trips,” Jeff complained “and doesn’t even provide transportation?”
No one was paying attention to him; no one answered. So Jeff answered himself: “The crappy kind, that’s what.”
“I’m hungry!!” yelled a voice from the back--Troy. “Can we stop at McDonalds?”

Summary
“That was a good movie,” said Abed as they stepped out of the theater.
“Uh-huh,” Troy agreed. He discreetly checked his phone, looking for the text from Annie that gave him the okay to bring Abed back home for the party. The surprise party!! Which, of course, was the best kind of party.
He must have looked at his phone too long, because Abed craned his neck to see. “What’re you doing?” Abed said. Troy quickly jammed his phone back into his pocket.
“Nothing!” he squeaked. He had been sent on this mission to keep Abed distracted while Annie and the rest of the study group set up back home, and he had been chosen specifically for his skills in retaining Abed’s attention, which not many other people could do. He’d puffed his chest up when he was given his assignment, proud to have been picked for such an important job. So there was NO WAY he was blowing it. “Do you want to go to the arcade?”

Summary
On the way home, he decided to take a shortcut. It was an alleyway, and it looked like the place where Batman’s parents were killed. But whenever Jeff was over and they had to get more soda, he always said that the “Batman’s parents” thing Abed kept repeating was stupid and that they should take the shortcut anyway. So, since Troy was sick and waiting for his Slim Jims, Abed took the shortcut.
And halfway down the alleyway, he got stabbed.

Summary
They sat down in their seats and looked up to see the entire study group staring at them.
“Uhhh…” said Troy to fill the awkward silence. “Sup?” His voice went up high, and he cringed.
“What’s going on?” said Abed, more to the point.
“Leonard posted this pic,” Annie blurted, sliding her phone across the table so they could see. It took Troy a second to realize what was in the photo, but the instant he did, his stomach dropped.
Leonard in the foreground sticking out his tongue, and in the background--Troy and Abed. Kissing.
“Oh, shit,” said Troy.

March of Pain day 14! Prompt: non-consensual (dw, I did NOT take it in that direction--the non-con is the picture being posted without Troy and Abed's consent.)

Summary
Apartment 303 was so empty without Troy.
It was too quiet. Too big, with just Abed and Annie to fill the space. He wouldn’t let her touch the little things Troy left behind, scattered on the coffee table and in his room. Abed missed the things that Troy did pack. His clothes, some action figures, his mug--there were only two Troy and Abed in the Morning mugs in the cabinet, now, when there used to be three. It made Abed sad every time he looked.
It reminded him horribly of when his mom left. He remembered the awful silence, the way his dad looked at him across the dinner table. The vacancy. He remembered everything.
Your fault, whispered Evil Abed. As if Abed needed reminding.
-----
Evil Abed is in his head. And he won't stop whispering.

Summary
The first petal came right after Halloween.
Abed had been sitting in front of the tv, as he often did, eating lucky charms. And then, he choked. Not badly; he could breathe again within seconds of coughing. But when he put his elbow back down, he felt something small and soft in his mouth. He reached in to pull it out--a flower petal. Covered in spit and sticky blood.
And he realized.
Troy was across the room, setting up a video game he wanted them to play. He didn’t notice when Abed crushed the petal in his fist and washed it down the sink along with the blood on his hands.

Summary
Abed had watched a lot of soulmate movies. He’d seen the tender looks and the lingering touches and the hidden smiles, and he’d seen the end. Because nothing lasts forever, and eventually the words are said.
Abed had never loved anyone the way he loved Troy. It was all consuming, enveloped his whole brain; it was so warm he felt like he’d never be cold again. It was watching movies together and secret handshakes and hijinks and Abed had never been so happy in his life.
But of course, nothing lasts forever. And Troy was leaving.
-----
The last words your soulmate will ever say to you are written on your wrist. Abed hopes Troy won't say them.

Summary
The night air was cool, and Abed shivered a little in his green pajamas. In a movie, he probably wouldn’t be wearing pajamas at all--he’d be wearing a long coat or a cape, something that the wind could make flap behind him as he looked out on the city lights. His city didn’t have any lights, though, just the occasional lamp down the empty streets. At least he had stars. They blinked faintly at him, watching. Always watching.

“Do you think it’s broken?” Troy said, and the very thought made Abed want to run away. Broken meant cast meant doctors, and Abed did not want to see the doctors. He shook his head vigorously.
“It’s fyne,” he said, words like thumbtacks in his mouth, difficult to get out.
