DANDY'S FAILURE: Sprout's Savior System

Summary:

We can't keep doing this. They can't keep doing this. If all we ever do is run, scavenge, and die.. why do we live?
He won't help us. And the other one is too fucking soft.

They need a lead? They'll sure as hell get one.

---

 

Or, Sprout learns the truth of Dandy from Astro. But instead of sitting on his fucking ass and waiting to die, he gives a damn and does something.

 

" When you have nothing left to aim for, everything, becomes a target. "

This fic is inspired by the songs 'My September' By Nastyona and ironically 'Balloon' by Tyler, The creator.

Notes:

I'll try to post regularly but understand that I don't interact much with this website besides reading.

This story will be BLOODY. So be advised and read your tags. I will add more as I continue.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Realization

Chapter Text

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw 3 things. A spotlight, a stage, and a man. He spoke to me so calmly, so gently, I almost couldn't understand who or what he was referring to. He held my hand and squeezed it. He said,

" Sprout, you will spark the eyes of creative children all around you. You, are their protector, and as a protector, you save them. Always, save them. "

 

I don't know what he's talking about. And yet, I do. I stare at his hand, then at his eyes, and then at his hand again. 

I feel like crying, so I hug him. He lets me sob into his arms, everything is overwhelming but I don't know why. It hurts, this hurts, I hurt. 

My first ever emotion, 

from the moment I was born, 

 

Was guilt.
