You said that lie already
(Platonic Regdora based on Comfort Crowd by Conan Gray word count 229)
Regulus wakes up crying a lot.
Normally he has the situation under control. Normally he gets a glass of water and goes back to bed.
So, when he woke up with tears streaming down his face he wasn't surprised. But when he walked into the common room something snapped. This happened once before, he remembered, and Pandora gave him a ring. He managed to turn the small, green crystal on the ring as he broke down. “Someone come and help me,” he whispers.
Regulus sobs and chokes on the floor, again. It should be humiliating to still be doing this at 16, but he is too far gone to care.
Besides, it’s midnight, and nobody is awake.
Pandora hurried down the stairs as Regulus cried the last of his tears.
“Regulus,” She murmured, crouching down and looking at him. He tried to smile, and started crying again.
Pandora took him around the shoulders, and brought him over to a common room sofa.
Regulus just clung to her chest, sobbing into her shirt. She dismissed his choked attempts to apologize.
“I don’t really need nobody,” Regulus tells her as Pandora massages circles into his back.
She nods with a sigh, “You said that lie already, love.”
“I just needed someone around,” he whispers, eyes fluttering closed.
“Glad to be a comfort,” she responds, also drifting off. They sleep until morning.
I just needed company now
Yeah, I just needed someone around
Yeah, I don't care what song that we play
Or mess that we make
Just company now
Comfort crowd
So as fans of Conan Gray, what are we called??? Like there's swifties and livies and belibers and sheerios and barbz, but like what is our name? I've seen "Comfort Crowd", "Coneheads" and "Krows" but have we actually decided on something?
