Childhood 2 : Script

Matthias finally caved in after a few minutes of hugging Sayori, he repeatedly slapped her back, turning purple at this point. "Sayori! Sayori! I give! I give!" Sayori tilted her head, confused before jumping off with a yelp.

Matthias took heavy deep breaths before opening his mouth, Sayori wordlessly handed him a cup of water, making him raise an eyebrow in curiosity, Sayori beamed a smile, "You always had a habit of licking your lips when your thirsty."

Matthias unconciously brought his fingers to his lips before taking them away quickly, wordlessly, he accepted the offer.

"Thanks."

Sayori nodded happily, "A-Are you going to be okay?" Sayori shakily asked, Matthias looked at her carefully to find her shaking, Matthias kept quiet before Sayori finally had enoughed and looked at him.

Matthias looked at her gently, atleast that was what she had thought, his face was blank, not similiar at all to him before the accident, slowly he nodded before a smirk had formed on his face.

"Ooooh~" He drawled out, Sayori noted the tone in his voice, he never spoke to her like that, "Is wittle Sayori worried about me?" He teased before poking her sides, her back arched before a slight giggle came out of her mouth.

"S-stop it." Her protest died down when Matthias stared at her with a warm smile, she gave her own.

Maybe...he still hasn't changed.

Fuck...Fuck..FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!

Matthias cursed in his head, he didn't like where he was going with this, he had hesitated whether to comfort the kirby look-alike but decided to go along with it.

He didn't expect for it to suddenly raise Sayori's affection points, Fuck, Judging by some memories by current body had, it was easy to find out that I was - or were, suppose to be one of the reasons for the little kirby's depression.

Of course, it might have been a little impact but it was the spark that started the course, supposedly I was planning on asking someone, Who?, to take me to a different neighborhood for supposedly continued studies.

Your only friend, childhood crush and neighbor suddenly disappearing without even a single word of fairwell was enough to send the girl into the road of depression.

What kind of Emo Fucker am I?

He asked himself, that plan was probably never going to bloom, and it wasn't like he was Actually Matthias from this world.

He held the urge to wince, why does he have to use his brain so much now when he just got some minor brain damage?

Curse my luck...

I only remembered falling asleep on my desk before waking up with the most painful headache yet, only to find out that it was not a headache and was probably some head trauma, before suddenly finding out, yes, that he was in DDLC.

Matthias scratched his head, a habit he had hoped to get rid of but it helped with the stress, someone had hesitantly grabbed his head before pulling it away.

Matthias eyes widened, Sayori stared at him with full worry and he wondered on why he can easily get lost in them, "What's wrong?" She asked softly, "Something's on your mind." A fact, he noted.

Sayori had took the breaths out of his mouth, "H-How can you know me so well?" He bit his lip, stuttering being held back at full force, "I know, I always know." She stared at him with clear affection that it was getting hard to hold himself back.

But that was what sent a chill down his spine, to hold myself back from what?

Like Cold Water being thrown at him, he finally cooled down, Hormones... he noted, I'm what? 9? 10?

He shouldn't even be releasing hormones to be attracted to the female body, most kids his ages just rant about cooties or whatever, so what was it? what was affecting him so badly?

He lifted his head to stare into her eyes and maybe it was those orbs of blue that had affected him somewhat, "I'm fine Sayori." He gave a brief smile before it vanished, that had somewhat eased her worry but not by alot.

"Can you go out Sayori?" Sayori's eyes widened before tearing up, she quickly stood up, shakily before walking towards the door, her knees were jerking, almost as if, Matthias's eyes widened, "Wait!" Sayori stopped just at the door's handle.

"I'm not mad at you, I just wanted some privacy." Matthias's calm look stared back at her, shocked, Sayori was too stunned at his bluntness, "You can go now." Sayori wordlessly nodded but the smile blossomed on her face.

Matthias stayed quiet before the footsteps finally disappeared, "Jesus, that kid is going to be the end of me."

"Now how the fuck do I this?" My legs refused to obey me, my face twisted, fury written all over it, its been a few minutes since Sayori left me and the state of my legs had me worrying.

I was fine with being crippled but it was the things that would bring that worries me, I didn't want to just roll around in a wheelchair everywhere, and frankly, I kinda liked moving my legs.

I gasped for breath after a few more minutes of trying and I wasn't going anywhere, I was somewhat thankful that Sayori left the cup of water on the table and it wasn't too far where I couldn't reach it.

"I want something sweet right now." Sweets were the main thing I use to deal with my stress, gladly, I would love to just eat it in general but it helps me calm down, I searched in my pockets and what do you know.

An assortment of colorful sweets almost blinded me and had me drooling like a brain-dead idiot, I pop one up and I slowly started to calm down.

Of course, back to the manner in hand, or in foot to be exact, I lifted the sheets of me and finally my toes twitched, just like my eyebrows.

I should of taken some lessons about patience if it would have lead me to this. Running out of patience, I completely relinquinshed all sorts of methods and just tried to stood up, only for me to.

*Thud*

Collapse on the floor, groaning, the sound of glass breaking echoed in the room, only to find me absolutely wet.

"God damn it."

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Is everything okay Matt?" Sayori asked through husshed voice, it seemed that I was making too much noise, grunting, I answered back, "I'm fine Sayori."

Sayori had stayed silent, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, Yeah." I waved it off before stopping, she couldn't see me, "I'm fine, really." I reassured her, "Okay..." The footsteps had almost vanished before I grunted again.

I bit my lip before an idiotic idea came to mind, I instantly grabbed some of the big glass shards from the cup before taking a deep breath.

I held it in before shoving the shard into my leg, almost as if a shock, my leg spasmmed, "Fuck!" I bit my lip to hold in my voice.

Some blood had squirted at the carpet but nothing that was too hard to hide, I was dumb but I wasn't dumb enough to jam it deeply, just enough to get me close send a shock to my spine.

"This was fucking stupid."

I was finally able to stand up but my legs were shaking, as if I almost didn't use them before, "How the fuck did I use them to walk here?" Oh right, I didn't, Sayori carried me.

My leg continued to drop some blood on the carpet and I was forced to think of a solution, muttering, I grabbed some of the random towels in the closet, "Hopefully Sayori doesn't need this." I caught something brown in the corner of my eye and my mind almost erupted from rage and coldness to settle in my gut.

There was a bundle of rope in the deepest corners of the closet and I was damn taking it with me, I moved the carpet aside, seeing all the wooden planks layered on the floor.

I checked every single one of them to find all of them completely fine, except for one board, a grin made itself on my face and I ripped it off in full force, adrenaline somewhat lessening the pain of one my nails being chipped and almost broken.

I was able to hide most of the rope in there before I covered it with the plank and the carpet, pain erupted in my mind before I was forced to use the table as a holding stand, "Fuck, fuck, fuck." The blood was already drying up and frankly, I was getting slightly woozy.

I leaned againts the wall before carefully ripping the glass shard off, the blood didn't squirt out, which is a good thing, "What the hell is with this body?" When I was a child, I been through worse, a similar glass shards been jammed in the soles of my foot and I didn't even utter a single indication of pain.

"This body is so weak..." Like always, I hated it.

I covered it but the towel still absorbed some of the wet blood, I would of washed it off but I'm panting, clearly out of breath.

"Matt?" Sayori spoke up once again, I flinched but realized she couldn't see me right now, "It's time for dinner." Dinner...? I looked outside, the sun was setting and clearly, the first signs of darkness was already showing.

"I'll be coming down soon." Sayori stayed quiet and the footsteps never went away, "Do you want to say anything Sayori?"

The door jerked but didn't open, which I was thankful for, "U-Um..." She stuttered, probably blushing, "I-it's almost n-night and it's dangerou-" I cut her off, "I'll stay for tonight Sayori." Sayori hummed, clearly speaking with happiness, "O-Okay!" She giggled before running off, "I'll make sure to tell Mom!"

I sighed before feeling the heat from my forehead, it had cooled down and I think I was finally okay.

I grabbed some of the leftover towels before drying myself, my clothes were still a little wet but not enough to be that noticeable.

I sighed before standing up, woobly, I made my way to the door before opening it. Left or Right, both lead to darkness but the footsteps, atleast I think so, went left.

I was clearly correct when the hall suddenly lightened up, laughter was coming out of the living room, I leaned againts the walls to make sure I don't collapse and just when I was finally about to enter, I straightened my back.

"Hey guys!"

Alice worried, it's been an hour since Sayori went down and started to talk to her, Sayori had continued to make sure that Matthias was actually okay but never went inside the room, she had been tempted to just barge in and check for herself but when she thought of it, Sayori had glared at her, forcing her to give up on it.

Sayori had came down with a gigantic smile on her face before asking if Matthias could stay for the night, she was furious and hesitant to let the clearly familiar unfamiliar boy stay with her daughter but she couldn't refuse when she stared at her with such eyes.

So in the end, she had accepted, a few more minutes before the footsteps finally echoed in, Sayori clearly brightened up but to her, it was weird.

It was labored, and slow, as if he was tired from doing something, and finally the main topic finally came in.

"Hey guys." He greeted with a childish smile, so far, she couldn't see anything different, he was slightly pale and sweat travelled down his face but she couldn't blame it, he still hasn't taken off his sweater or scarf.

Which is speaking of, quite wet but she didn't talk about, she did hear a crash but she was curious on what he had done.

He walked towards the table before sitting down, for a second, he almost flinched, as if unused to his head barely being above the dinning table.

"Is there a problem?" She asked, a slight teasing in her voice, Matthias calmly stared at her before finally asking, "Is there a taller chair?" Her eyes widened before staring at him as if something unknown, "No." She answered before digging in her own food.

She watched him in the corner of her eye sigh before rolling his eyes, he digged in aswell, sometimes smiling while listening to Sayori rant.

She was tempted to just ask him what he was doing but her eyes widened before she latched on his arm.

"Where did you get that Matt?" Sayori asked, worry in her voice. Alice looked over before her eyes widened as well, Some of Matthias's nails were slightly back and chipped in some places, as if he scratched something hard.

Matthias calmly pulled his arm out of Sayori's grip before answering back, "It's nothing to worry about kid." Alice took note that he called Sayori that.

"What are you hiding?" Alice asked with a slight edge, he glanced at her before glancing at his own food, it was unfinished but enough to atleast not go hungry in the night, he sighed before standing up.

"Wait, where are you going Matt?!" Sayori asked, quickly trying to finish her own food, she didn't want to upset her mother.

"Oi, oi, oi!" She shouted before running after the kid, she arrived to find him putting on his shoes, "Where the hell do you think you're going?" She held his arm before aggresively pulling at his arm.

He winced before biting his lip, he obviously didn't want to snap at her, "I'll just be going for a walk." He stared at his hand, frowning, "Can you let go?" He asked, and her anger skyrocketed, "Your hurting me." Her eyes widened before she pulled back, slight digust on her face, not at Matthias but at herself.

Sayori stared at them worriedly, she didn't know what was going on.

Matthias looked beside Alice before flashing a soft smile, "I'll just be going for a walk."

He turned around and left.

"Fucking woman." His fingers threatening to dig into his scalp, "She doesn't know me, she doesn't know me at all." Matthias instantly started cursing when he finally got away from that place.

He didn't want Sayori to see him like this, for some reason, the thought of Sayori somewhat being disgusted at him sent his stomach in flops.

He didn't know what was that woman's problem, she was obviously distrustful but she shouldn't be to the point where she's actively hating on me.

Could it be? he mused, it could have been that she knew of my old plans, to just up and leave without any word, to just vanish for no reason.

My headache was getting worse and worse, and I didn't know why.

Is this copy of a game mad at me for going againts the script, for going againts the natural order, because I refuse to be the stepping stone for Sayori's depression?

Out of thought, Matthias bumped into a kid, Matthias bit his lip, he almost started to swear at the kid for bumping at him but it was no time for tempter tantrums.

"Hey, you okay?" Matthias offered a hand and the kid gladly took it and when he finally realized, his anger went into a whole different level.

"Fuck..." He swore under his breath, brown eyes stared at him curiously, "What's your name?" The kid was confused, he was just so welcoming when he offered a hand and now he was suddenly cold at him.

"Ah!" The kid hit his palm, he came to a thought in mind, He's a tshundere like what my friend's say!

Matthias twitched and suddenly he was tempted to punch someone but he couldn't do it, not unless he wants to fuck everything up.

"Oi, I asked you a question." There was no tone to it, he didn't want the kid to hate him and for it to lead to grudges. The MC of DDLC stared at him with a twisted face full of confusion before clarity came back to his eyes. "Oh, I'm Hiro Hiro!" He answered back with a bright smile that it confused me.

"Like HiroHiro?" He shoke his head.

"No! Hiro Hiro!"

"HiroHiro?"

"Hiro Hiro!"

"HiroHiro?"

"NO! HIRO HIRO!"

"Hiro Hiro?"

"NO! IT'S HIROHIRO!"

He gasped, "YOU TRICKED ME!" He suddenly started laughing while holding his stomach and Matthias couldn't hold his own, 'This kid is dumb.'

Matthias hummed, "I'm Matthias." The kid gave a cheeky smile before it vanished, "Wait, I can't do anything with that." He complained while weakly stomping on the ground.

Matthias just flashed him a smug grin, that annoyed him but he felt slightly warm inside, most of his friends are too polite and don't usually banter with him or even argue.

Matthias looked around before asking, "Do you know where the park is?" Hiro tilted his head before nodding. "Yep! It's at ****** ***** *****" Matthias smiled but inside he couldn't help but feel skeptical, it was all just weird symbols but he somehow understood it, probably the Author being too lazy to add an actual street and maybe that was illegal.

"Thanks." He mused before turning around to walk away, "Wait!" He twitched before turning around, "Yeah?"

Hiro blushed while looking at the ground, "Will we see each other again?" Matthias smiled, but inside he was freaking out.

"If you want, I'll mostly be at the park." Matthias waved goodbye before running off.

"Matthias huh..." Hiro smiled before walking off.

"What the fuck was that?" Matthias dived inside an alley, before clutching his panic-striken heart, "That expression..." Matthias remembered back when Hiro stared at him with a blushing face and shining eyes.

"Was he gay...?" Matthias quickly got that thought out of his mind, he didn't want to think about it.

"Hoooh~?" A voice drawled out from the alley, he turned around to find a guy wearing rags for clothings and slightly dirty face, "What are you doing here in this alley youngster?" The man's wrinkled eyebrows rose.

Matthias stared at him with a blank face before opening his mouth, "How much are you willing to take for a cigar?" The man's jaw dropped before he slightly grinned. "20$ kid." Matthias patted his back pocket before he panicked, the man obviously didn't notice it before throwing it at him, Matthias stared at it with confusion as the old man chuckled.

"Just playing with you." Matthias hummed before turning around to go out, "I suggest you stop kid, it's not good for you." Matthias took one look at him before lighting the cigar, luckily the man also gave him a lighter.

Smoke drifted in the air as Matthias stared at him through half-closed eyes.

"That's the point."

The man sighed before pulling out his phone, "Kids these days."

But the glint in his eyes never went away.

He finally arrived in the park before collapsing on one of the construction beams, the smoke fluttering along with the falling snowflakes.

He watched and watched as more and more families walked past him, the kids were confused on what he was doing but the parent's kept on staring at him, some had been ballsy enough to walk up to him and scold him but they gave up when he ignored them.

The cigarrate almost went out a few times due to the snow but luckily it held on, "What a fucking crazy few hours."

He looked down, cigaratte butts all over the floor, "I wonder how I haven't started coughing yet." He smiled before coughing, his cigarrate dropping to the ground, his smile dying down. "Shouldn't have jinxed it I guess."

He pulled out another one before coughing multiple times, "Damn, delay." But this time his smile didn't vanish.

He lighted it up before taking a deep breath, "The lovely smell of nicotine." Cigar has always been a way to calm me down somewhat, not as effective as sweets but it was helpful enough.

He stayed silent for awhile before bursting in to laughter, "O-oh, the irony." Nothing, it was nothing but an inside joke that the readers won't probably understand.

Matthias finally had enough and stood up, maybe that bitch of a woman had finally calmed down.

"What have you done?" The wind carried a voice, melody like and sweet and he turned around to see her, staring at him from across the park.

Emerald eyes scanned him for any suspicions and he smiled contently, "I have no clue what your talking about." he almost shouted with glee but was able to stop himself, finally getting it back together, he turned around -

And he finally walked away.

Brown hair fluttered in the wind and emerald eyes watched on where he used to be.

"The script disappeared but not gone, a fake world now real." She licked her lips, "And I wonder which one you're going to be."

Chapter End!

OoooooOoo~

Who's this mysterious watcher, and y'all probably already know who it is.

I redone this chapter and I once again didn't like the original, it was suppose to Alice, Sayori's mom who goes to get him and for it to lead into an argument but it had seemed stupid.

The last chapter introduced Matthias's personality and this is enforcing it, also, about the cigarrate thing, I apologize if I may have offended anyone with the scene.

This particularly sets it up so that the world may be Doki Doki but this is not a mere game anymore, it has corruption, things in the back that can't occur in a game, now occuring now that it's all real.

You shouldn't underestimate what you can get for a tiny price in the right place at the right time, it's not like everywhere is just sun shine and rainbows.

Shoutout to Auxiliry Nexus for the Review, I am always grateful and open to reviews, and raises an important point.

Thank you to Mr. Cuyler and Tonimax for their support, my first story in the site and I never really expect it to be popular but I am very grateful for any kind of support, be it corrections, or just a random visit is enough to make me happy. ;)

I would like to explain a little about the cigaratte thing, while Matthias's body is not used to the effects of essentially smoking, his, I guess you could say, his mind is used to it, I had tried smoking before and the only reason why I coughed was due to how unexpected it was for the smoke to suddenly enter your lungs.

Matthias is used to those things, so he was expecting the smoke to enter but it still effects the body, the coughing is the sign of that, smoking is bad for you and I definately do not recommend it if your a minor. xD

The main thing about Reflexes and Personality wise, Matthias is not that different from his old self, except a little more reserve, Matthias is more mature mentally than his old self, so he is mostly calm and a few things but back in a much younger body is breaking his breaks.

He is more likely to curse and swear due to being a child and is easily angered.

Thanks for reading~

Extra : [Memory Fragment : 1]

"Bro, what the fuck is this?" His brother asked, turning towards him with dead eyes, "What is it?" Matthias asked with a raised eyebrow. His brother fumbled with his words before looking at him straight in the eye.

"Why is your character so edgy?" Matthias raised an eyebrow before pointing at him with a snarl, "What the fuck do you mean?!"

His brother shouted back, "WHY IS HE DOING CIGARATTES?!" He shouted, He gestured towards the screen, "HE'LL DIE IN A WEEK!" Matthias burst into laughter before slapping him on the leg, "A WEEK BOI WHAT?!"

His brother shook his head before trying to look for something inside his pants, "Where's my candy?" He muttered, "I need my candy!" He clutched his head before shaking, His brother ignored him in the favor of laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Matthias pushed his brother aside before trying to improve it, "Is this better?" His brother hummed before looking over his shoulder, "Nah, still edgy." Matthias hummed before dashing of his chair.

"THIS IS WHY I DID IT MAN!" Matthias instantly bolted towards the balcony, "THIS IS WHY I SMOKED IN AN EARLY AGE!" He leaned over the balcony before trying to jump off, "Bro stop!" His brother laughed before pulling him off and soon Matthias joined him too.

Laughter echoed on before it ended.

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT*

"Is this where they kept the candy box...?"

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT*

Matthias gasped as he felt something sharp enter his chest, panting and sweating he glanced down fearfully to find nothing there.

"Why do these thoughts haunt me?"
