To red john had always been a quiet man from the moment he first met him until just now…at this moment everything he knew about John. was being re thought threw and he wasn't sure if he hated it.
John walked his usual path down to Hellboy's quarters that head gotten so used to over the year head been there; the usual smile on his face and a slight tilt to his head as he avoided eye contact with the other agents. Pushing the hefty cart full of food, he used his whole body weight to pull the kart to a stop in front of the huge volt door to Hellboy's room.
John knocked loudly on the door, worrying his now jaw length hair by running his hands through it throwing it into disarray. He had made the mistake before of just walking in and he witnessed first-hand red and Liz's biggest row that broke them apart, Red wanted kids and Liz didn't, it was a deal breaker… needless to say as soon as John had pulled the door open flames had been unleashed at his face, his fast reflexes had saved his face but not reds food. That was the last they saw of Liz she didn't come back after that argument.
The door swung open to see seven foot of red muscle smoking a cigar.
"Hey squirt, what did ya bring me this time?" The red demon managed to hover over him while letting him pass.
"The usual red, toast, eggs, bacon, beans, waffles and sausages" John grinned as red shut the door reds tail giving him a half hug without realizing it as he chomped through a handful of bacon.
John blushed as the tail was quickly removed as fast as it had been placed there.
"I also brought you these red" John handed out three baby rouths trying not to look guilty.
"What's the special occasion Boy scout?" Reds eyes narrowed at the small agent, reds eyes not leaving his as he scrutinised him.
"Red you know how all the agents have personal time off for vacations…" John glanced away and then back up at Red to see if the message had sunk in, no such luck; a deep set frown had settled on reads features.
"Ummm hmmm.."
"Well Manning has given me this week off" John trained his eyes back on the floor noting how shiny his shoes were as he wriggled his hands in his pockets, feeling like a child who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Hellboy almost smiled at the way john looked like a kid being told off until the though sunk in that he would have to live without the agent for a week. In all honesty there wasn't much to do around here, no one to talk to; apart from Abe but he was all facts.
Damn he was going to be bored.
Angry swelled in his stomach, how could scout just up and leave him, he could go wherever he wanted, do what he wanted and date whom he wanted …. There was nothing to stop him.
The same could not be said for the big red demon confined to these four walls and he was sick of it!
"Whatever Scout, have fun in the real world!"
The demon slammed his stone hand on the bed almost loud enough to crack it.
John jumped looking at red nervously "Red I..
"Save it, just leave" Red stared John down, so John did just that; leaving as quietly as he came.
"Leave just like everyone else" it was barely above a whisper. Red sat on his bed shoulders slumped'
