[fancypost borderwidth=0;line-height: 12px; text-align: justify;]He growled as she shoved past him, and this time he was determined to make her hear what he had to say. His claws flexed before he ran around her again, this time putting a tail length of space between them before he tackled the female. He placed himself so that he was barely touching her, but she wasn't gonna get by until he was ready for her to. Being bipolar had a couple of perks, he supposed.
"Now, I'm gonna try to explain, and your gonna listen whether you like it or not," he hissed, his eyes blazing. Even though it may not have seemed like it, Psycho was angry too. Angry at all of his disorders, angry at beauty- which he knew was unfair, but couldn't help- and angry at the people around them who had absolutely no idea about the past.
"One, I'm not the only person who has changed. Do you think it felt nice for me when I showed up, and.. And.. You already had a bunch of other friends, your attitude had made a 180, and even your pelt had changed? The only thing that I ever did was go off and get myself get thrown into the oblivion of another disorder!"
By the end of his moment, he had been yelling, eyes still raging as a fiery emerald-green before his body slumped and he took a deep breath. That last part might've screwed him over, but it wasn't like he could keep it a secret for long. He straightened himself, glancing at beauty carefully before going on again.
"Two, I always thought that you absolutely hated it when I had no filter. I was always too happy, or too sad, or too angry, too much... everything. Like my entire being was too much space. So, when I came here, I tried to tone it down a little, y'know? Fit in more, try to at least pretend that in not mentally fucked up, and become a normal person that you could fall in love with."
As his eyes searched hers again, he slowly moved off, unsure about how she would react to him talking about why he left. He wouldn't be surprised if she just slapped him and walked away, so that's mainly what he was prepping for.
"And now, uh, for why I was gone. See... okay, give me a second since I'm having trouble processing this, but.. One day, back at the Agri, I was messing around up in the barn shafts- like usual- but I.. I uhm.. I slipped. I slipped off one of the rafters and banged my head hard on the ground. When the medicine cat found me, they dragged me to their den and tried to help me, but I refused.. And, At one point, I shoved through them to get out of the den. To get to you."
He took a shakey breath before continuing, looking on edge, like a scared mouse. Which was very unusual.
"I had stumbled around blindly for a while, and at one point when I could focus, I noticed that I was nowhere near the agriculturalists. It was really muggy, and there was foliage so thick you couldn't see.. I tried going back, but I managed to stumble upon an entirely different group instead. I won't lie to you, they were kind, and I feel bad that I forgot their name, but they forced me to stay until I got better, which.. I never did. So instead I had to make my way out, and I finally made it back, but.. By then the agri had a new name, and you were nowhere to be seen. So I'd been searching for you ever since."
After realizing he completely avoided the topic of his actual disorder by ranting he jumped right back into it. "The point is, when I fell from that rafter, I developed this thing called temporal dysplasia. It means that I can't really perceive time correctly anymore.. And.. Any emotions tied with time are hard to feel. Like, really hard. So I can't feel guilty about me being gone for so long, I can't slowly trust anybody, I can't really develop feelings for people. The only feelings I gave are love and protection and things of the like for you, beauty, because its all what I felt before the accident."
There. He said it. He said all of it. Now if she wanted to walk away, she could. If she wanted to hit him, best him, scream at him, she could. Nothing would matter anymore if she didn't love him anyway.
