Okay. I really am not sure why I writing this; I just feel compelled to. Also, I am on hour 30 of no sleep so if this sucks let me know please, with the review thingie and what not. Oh and I do not own the charactors. I think I forgot to add that in the other chapter. Here we go!
Warning- there is some cursing in this. I used the terms from the comic so :p (the one where the girl is laughing at the pushed over squee and her eye pops out from being a sheer bitch. Yes. You have been warned.
Johnny tucked his head in his palms and laid his back against the mattress. Squee never did answer why he was trespassing in his home. Nny exhaled loudly, expelling the curiousity from his body. Not my problem, he reasoned with himself as he picked himself off the floor. Tho, long ago, there was a soft spot in his heart for the boy.
He realized he held the emotion 'Envy" for a lot of things. He envied for his beautiful callousness. He envied Squee for his naïve innocence. He cocked his head slightly wondering if Squee still maintained his terrifying innocence. Nny doubted it. It's been a while and people change as time goes on.
He shrugged and made his way back into the kitchen. If Squee had been staying here, why hadn't he cleaned up? There were layers upon layers of grime on every surface except for the bedroom. Shaking the confusion from his head, he grabbed the bleach and untwisted the cap. Almost immediately he was assaulted with the fumes invading his nostrils. He dropped the bottle, its innards soaking the floor, as he fell backwards into the sink. His lip curled in annoyance. This was going to be more work than what it was worth……
Meanwhile……
Todd wandered down the sidewalk, his eyes focused on the pavement below him, making sure the crack in the pavement didn't widen and swallow him into the Earth. His hands played with his backpack straps, his fingers trailing up and down the nylon.
"Hey Squee! Wait up!" A familiar voice behind him called. He twisted his neck to see his only buddy approaching him. Pepito was jogging, his skool bag bouncing erratically as he ran. Squee stopped and waited for his friend caught up. "Foo, amigo, we're gonna be late if you keep draggin' your feet. " Pepito turned to his usually quiet friend. Todd seemed distracted more than usual. Pepito resisted his urge to peek into his friends mind to see what was wrong. Todd always suffered from an abundance of night terror whenever he did that, leaving him more withdrawn and anxious.
Todd kept at a slow and steady pace, annoying the athletic Pepito. Todd noticed how Pepito had changed. His once grotesque looking comrade had matured, his pug face transformed into one of influential beauty, his stubby body had straightened and muscles ridged under his clothes. His knots of greasy hair had untangled and now flowed freely around his face, camouflaging his still small horns. Todd admired Pep's easy smile and abundant self-confidence. He made the days easier.
The towering form of the Hi Skool came into view, eliciting a groan from Todd. "Aw come on,amigo. We can skip if you wanna," Pepito tried to convince. Todd only shook his head. Last time he did that the Skool called his dad. His dad wasn't happy that night. But then again, he never was since Todd was returned home.
Todd squeezed his tiny body past the flood of children surrounding the school, bumping into a few.
"Hey, Faggot-butt! Trying to cop a feel?" Torque growled, his lumbering form suddenly very close to the timid Todd. Todd could swear Torque got bigger and more painful each day they had their little 'encountars'.
"N-nooo," Todd squeaked, confused.
"Yeah you did you faggot-butt. Trying to be all gay with me." Torque now chuckled, satisfied that his favorite prey was cowering embarrassed. A crowd of gawkers had now circled around them, ready for their daily 'beat the squee'. Todd squeaked again, his arms squeezing around his slight frame in an attempt of security.
"Look jerk. We don't have time for your crap. Now come on Todd." Pepito intervened, busting his way thru the idiots and snatching Todd's long-shirt sleeve. He dragged the frightened boy past Torque deliberately, showing the steroid deranged boy that he was not getting his hands on his friend today.
"Pepito, I…I think I am going to skip today. I don't feel too well." Todd gripped his stomach. His guts had been filled with dread and were performing painful somersaults. Pepito cocked his eyebrow, not digesting Todd's fib in the slightest.
"Come on then, " he sighed, wrapping an arm around his friends narrow shoulders. "I'll walk you home." They fought against the swarm once more, this time without instance. Todd wished Pepito was around more often. There was a strange aura around the anti-christ. One Todd knew and the other he revealed to the bulk of humanity. Todd was glad he had his own side of Pepito. His insides tickled at Pepitos touch. This was happening more and more often tho Todd did not fully understand why he felt so excited when Pepito laid a gentle hand on him.
Todd smiled a crooked smile at his pal, his sickly pale face suddenly flushed with colour. The two headed back towards Todds home, arms thrown over each other's torsos in carefree bliss.
Meanwhile…….
Sweat dripped off Johnny's face, the tan skin contorted in disgust at the filth the house was in. So many dried and crusted fluids spotted his floor. Why, oh Why hadn't Squee cleaned up if he was staying here. He snapped some latex gloves on and bent down to start scrubbing again. The shit wasn't coming off no matter how much bleach he used. He strapped on his old goggles and ran out door, throwing himself into his rusted hatch back. He cranked the engine on and tore down the street. He barely made it down the block when he spotted the duo. He plowed his car onto the sidewalk, grass and rocks flying in all directions as he blocked the two.
They gaped at him and the fresh demolished walkway. Pepito narrowed his eyes, sure he recognized the crazed man in front of them. The proverbial lightbulb dinged above his head. Rage filled the teen, his disguised tan blooming into his true red. His horns began to extend and wrap behind his ears, tangling his hair. He was bursting into his true form with anger and spite. "You! Where the hell have you been?!" Pepito roared.
Todd tried to back away slowly; fearful of Pepitos true form, but Nny had already yanked him into the car. The small boy could only catch a glimpse of the smoking amigo as Nny kicked the car into reverse and plummeted the car back towards home.
"what was that about?" He asked, stunned at what had just happened. One moment he was happy and with his best friend, the next he was yanked into a car with a man he hadn't seen in years.
"Why were you in my house?" Nny demanded again, his voice a chilled growl. It sent new shivers down Todds spine. He still wasn't sure how to answer. He pulled at the hem of his shirt again, wringing the fabric in his small hands.
"I..uh..I missed you." He muttered to his chest.
"So? Why would you stay? The house is repulsive and filled with a sickness. Why would you willingly stay there?" Johnny couldn't understand Squee-gee anymore. The child used to be terrified by germs and dust. Squee-gee is older now, Nny reminded himself. He didn't look much different with his large clothes and saucer sized eyes. He still had that near permanent look of sorrow around him.
"It's safe there…" Squee breathed, his face reddening at his admittance.
Johnny exhaled with a 'foo' and pulled into the driveway, saddened at the thought that his sickening house could hold peace for the still-abused Squee.
What's going on with Pepito?? And poor squee! What's going on? Even I don't know, well kind of but you'll find out when I do. Hopefully it wont suck as bad . and please review. I am actually very curious on what others think. Even if it's a simple 'you suck' I'll actually be very happy. XD
