The Monster
I just really love these two cuties, okay? c:
Characters: Charlie and Josh, implied Pyramid Head.
"Josh, don't!" Charlie held tightly to the other boy's sleeve, pulling him back as well as he could. "He's too dangerous!" He pleaded, "Let's go! Josh, I'm scared!"
The slightly older boy continued to look around the corner, at the massive man-creature that walked the streets, giant blade in hand. "He doesn't want you, Char. You don't have a lot of darkness in your heart." The other boy whimpered, pulling harder on his sleeve. Josh let out a sigh. "I'll protect you, I promise."
"No, let's just go, okay? There's nothing he can do for you!" He gave one final tug, trying to summon any strength he had to do so. Josh simply pushed him off with a grunt.
"You don't know that!" They glared at each other for a few moments before Charlie crossed his arms, giving his friend a hurt look.
"If you go to him, I'm going to run away and I'm never going to talk to you again."
"You will to!"
"Will not!" He stomped his foot. "I won't talk to someone who sides with a monster!"
Another moments silence and Charlie feared that his only ally was considering leaving him alone⦠for that thing.
Josh broke the silence with a low growl and grabbed Charlie's wrist, walking towards their usual hiding spot and away from the monster. Charlie smiled.
"You're a spoiled brat." Josh mumbled as they walked. Charlie's grin increased and he pulled his wrist up so they could hold hands as they walked home.
"I know."
