I’ve seen an au with a similar concept! This is really cool!

Trapped within

Recovery au in which Curly has repeating nightmares of being reconstructed using Jimmy's body and slowly becoming one with him

Mouthwashing alternative ending:

”I’m happy that you like it.”

He took a deep sigh of relief in his head. He needed to take a moment, that’s all he needed... Being intrusive or impulsive isn’t going to help him. He can’t rely on instinct and harm “himself”. Not everyone is like Jimmy and not everyone is going to harm him.

“hello! It’s been a long while!”

oh-!

it's you!

[he's visibly happy to see him.]

sorry. i've been asleep.

“Dai…” The Captains eyes widened from panic. Curly pulled Daisuke in for a hug. He had to keep Daisuke close. He had to be a shoulder to cry on. He can’t let Daisuke give up yet.

“daisuke. You’ve been doing amazingly at all of this.”

He picked up a tone that seemed to have come from a friend. Not a man who was above anyone, he was on the same level as Daisuke. Both of them were trapped, like fish in a bowl. Constantly swimming in circles “No one expects you to keep it together. Especially Not me.”

The Captains voice was soft. He spoke reassuringly. And it was clear it was genuine. Curly rubbed daisuke’s shoulder in a way to try to soothe the kid a bit.

“…don't worry about it. Just let it out… you don’t need to apologize to anyone...” Curly pulled Daisuke into a deeper hug.

“…hey Daisuke it’s been a long time...”

Curly looked a lot worse. He had been greying in patches. He looked more worn down. All matters of disarray, like a machine finally running low. Rusting away as the machine falls apart. he came with the same gift, coffee.

blinking from the haze of daydreaming, he turned to the blonde. all daisuke could muster was a hushed "...oh!"

it really has been a long time.

alongside curly, daisuke was certainly aging as well. slowly, but he was.

daisuke was a little taller - bordering on outgrowing his uniform. his hair was longer, lopsided and choppy from a shit attempt at grooming himself; black roots well grown back in and revealing silver stress hairs. as he pushed himself up off the ground, one could see his arms were well seasoned from failure, almost stained with grease.

daisuke was older and was, unfortunately, infinitely, wiser beyond his years.

he didn't care for the coffee, simply opting to open his arms to curly.

"talk to me, dude," he said, "you look rough."

[captain-44-curly]

“It’s good, right?”

he watched.

“hello! It’s been a long while!”

-@captain-44-curly

oh-!

it's you!

[he's visibly happy to see him.]

”…alright. he began to stir the coffee with a straw to dissolve the coffee grounds into the water.

“If it’s too hot or too warm then please don’t stay quiet and tell me if you want me to cool it down more.”

he lifted the straw up to see if the coffee grounds were dissolved yet. He continued to stir it until it was completely dissolved

“Enjoy.”

he smiled and held the cup out with the straw in reach

“hello! It’s been a long while!”

-@captain-44-curly

oh-!

it's you!

[he's visibly happy to see him.]

“Good. I’m glad I can offer something nice… I’m happy for you.”

he dumps the pouch into the cup of water. He opened on of the cold brew pouches and slowly dumped a little bit in to cool the coffee down.

“it’s room temperature unless you want it colder.”

“hello! It’s been a long while!”

-@captain-44-curly

[captain-44-curly]

“I’m feeling good. I’m very happy today.”

he smiled

he shook that thought out of his head. looks over to the other curly with a grimace. Smell. God how horrible could the gift of scent be when everyone was smelling like shit and fucking mouthwash. At least it wasn’t total sensory deprivation.

“…that’s good. Here try it out.”

he opened the pouch of coffee and held it out for the other Curly to try to smell it.

“hello! It’s been a long while!”

"...Enough about me... We've been talking about that pity train for far too long. How about you, How are you?"

He tried to stir the topic into a lighter one. He opened the canteen of boiled water and poured it into the cup.

“hello! It’s been a long while!”

-@captain-44-curly

oh-!

it's you!

[he's visibly happy to see him.]

"I have no goddamn clue. Maybe I am but at what cost would me getting out of this hell even be? What if I get out and the cycle just starts over again but I have no memory of these loops... or I just die in a loop and everything stays dark. My existence finally ends and I'm still aware... what if I soft-lock my loop? I'd be stuck in an infinite loop of death that I couldn't stop..."

his hands shook a bit. He took a deep breath. he sat down and put the cup down

"... B-but maybe it's just my memory finally going bad, the brain can only hold so much."

“hello! It’s been a long while!”

-@captain-44-curly
