Myde Shiro stared out of the window as palm trees whizzed by on his way to his temporary home. As his mom parked in front of Kingdom Hearts Behavioral Facility, he sluggishly climbed out and grabbed the paper sack full of clothes from the backseat and followed her into the brightly lit facility.
He walks inside and instantly feels a sense of foreboding and looks around before hurrying to his mother who is already at the front desk checking him in. "Mom. I'm not liking this place at all. Can we go home?" he pleaded, big seafoam green eyes gazing at her. "I'm sorry Myde but…you need this. It is not normal for you to be insubordinate and threaten your father you would kill him in his sleep then not remember anything. Also, your sleepwalking is…concerning. This is one of the best facilities in Radiant Gardens who can get you help." As Myde proceeds to unlace his shoes and replace them with zipties, he could've sworn he heard screams coming from the double doors and gulps when they open and a nurse steps through. "Mr. Shiro? We are ready for you." She said sweetly, although there was a hidden…something in her voice, making him whimper as he stepped forward cautiously and once the doors closed behind them, the nurse grabbed him by his collar and started to drag him to the elevator. "Quiet brat. Now I will only say this once so pay attention. We are going to your wing or whatever them immediately going to the head psychiatrist, , where he will asses you more thoroughly, then back to your wing, where I hope to never see you again. Are we clear?"
Myde nodded, fighting back tears, knowing that he had to be tough in a place like this, and felt himself being thrown into the elevator. "Stand up brat and stop sniveling. You do want to make a good impression, right?" she mocked, eyes glinting in cruel mirth as the doors opened and he was shoved forward, stumbling as he nearly ran face first into the solid metal door and bit his lower lip as they opened and he was led into an empty room filled with tables and a few chairs bolted to the floor while to the left was a hallway that led to 4 doors and a solid white wall. The nurse went to the desk that was secured behind shatterproof glass and started talking with the pink haired male, pointing at Myde and laughing, causing the blonde to blush and look away. "Alright. You are in room 402 with Sora, who is with the others at lunch, so go and get your shit put away and do whatever you want." After getting shoved towards the hallway by the nurse, he looks at the doors and notices the heavy locks, pushing that thought away as he pushes open the metal door and looks at the empty room and sets his stuff down by the only bed without sheets and the normally talkative boy was silent as he made his bed and sat crossed legged on it before finally letting out all of the pent up emotions he has been harboring since he arrived.
A few hours pass and he soon hears voices filling the other room so he grabs his stuffed dolphin and peeks out of the room and creeps down the hallway, peeking around the corner to see 7 other boys lounging around the room and is unaware of a gloved hand clamping onto his shoulder and forcefully leading him to the center of the room, where all eyes turned to him. "This is Myde Shiro and he will be joining the West Wing. Try not to torment the whelp too much yeah?" Myde slowly looks at the owner of the hand and blanches when one golden eye stares directly at him and shoves him forward before turning on his heel and disappearing into one of the bedrooms again, presumably to inspect the living area. A red head hops off the chair and smirks, snatching the dolphin from Myde's hand and tosses across the room to a blonde-haired kid. "Hey Roxas! Catch!" he grinned as the blonde haired boy stared at it before tossing it to another blonde boy, leaving Myde to scramble after it, tears filling his eyes and cruel laughter fills the room, from both the boys and the pink haired attendant. "That's mine!" he cried as he started to feel a throbbing behind his temple and sank to his knees, unaware of the animal being thrown at his head as all emotions were wiped from his face and he stared blankly at the floor, slowly reaching for the dolphin and hugs it to his chest, letting out a few sniffles. "What's the matter? Little baby gonna cry again?" the same voice mocked as Myde slowly stood up and walked silently back towards the bedroom and closes the door, sitting cross-legged on the bed again and just stares at the wall, mind on complete shutdown mode
Back in the dayroom, the boys were laughing and high fiving each other over a job well done except for one brown haired boy. Sora looked sadly at the new boy as he walked away but knew better than to intervene, knowing that he had to fight to gain the other's respect, but he still couldn't help but feel guilty. What's there to be guilty for Sora? The brat knew he was setting himself up to be teased when he walked out carrying that ridiculous animal. If anything, this is a good lesson for him. Sora groaned internally when his alter spoke up and crossed his arms. "I know but still." he huffed and gazed out the window, a silver haired boy taking a seat by him and eyeing him curiously. "Your anti is acting up again huh?" he asked softly as he unconsciously picked at a scab on his arm and Sora only nodded. "Yeah. He's been really agitated lately." He admitted as he looked up again and saw the same blonde-haired boy being led out by the scarred male from before. "Looks like he's going to see Dr. Evan…"
Myde allowed himself to be led out of the wing and down the silent hallway, dolphin still held tightly in his arms and gazed at the ground. "Look kid. You either have to learn to ignore them and just take it, or stand up for yaself, yeah?" the male muttered as he knocked on the office door and pushed him into a sparsely decorated office then left. "You must be Myde Shiro. Please have a seat." The younger boy obliged and sat down, gaze still casted to the floor as a male walked away from the window and sat down behind his desk. "I am Dr. Evan, the head psychiatrist at Kingdom Hearts Behavioral Facility and you will be seeing me until we can get a psychiatrist assigned to you. Now, according to your file, you suffer from Bipolar Disorder, Hallucinations and sleepwalking, yes?" At the boy's nod, he continued. "You also find comfort in your stuffed dolphin yes? You state that it gives you a sense of security." Myde nodded and continued to stare at the floor, mind going a mile a minute as Dr. Evan wrote a few things down regarding the boy's current behavior. "It also says that you are very hyperactive at times and tends to not be able to sit still for long, which may tie in with your Bipolar. Now why don't you tell me how you're feeling right now?"
Myde hides his face in his dolphin and says nothing, body trembling as he tries to get his jumbled thoughts in order, but only being able to remember what happened in the Day Room, nails starting to claw at his skin and the trembling grows more violent. The older male sighs and presses a button underneath his desk and almost immediately, two other males come in, one with a needle and the other with a blindfold. "You know the drill Dilan, Aleus. Try not to rough him up too much. The Boss would have our hides." The bigger males grinned and the one with the blindfold immediately wrapped the cloth around Myde's eyes and tossed the dolphin to the floor. Myde let out an ear piercing shriek and struggled against the bigger man, to no avail. Once bkindfolded Dilan injected the green liquid into Myde's neck and watched with sick satisfaction as the struggles lessened and he slung the boy over his shoulder. "Hey Al, get rid of this thing yeah?" he grinned and kicked the dolphin towards the other, who picked it up and once outside the office, both split and went different directions, Dilan heading towards the elevators and Aleus heading back into the wing to toss the stuffed animal into the room. Sora, being the closest to the door, catches it and carries it to their shared room, worry etched across his face.
When Myde woke up, he found himself chained to a bench of some sort and started to cry, the noise echoing in the room as he desperately wished he was back home with his parents. As his cries lessened, he heard his stomach growl rather loudly and he attempted to look around but all he could see was black due to the blindfold and slumped in his chains, mind going into shutdown mode again.
Well that's that for Chapter 1. This will get darker before it gets better and it is more or less based off of my personal experiences with psychiatric hospitals. Please R&R
