"Vincent: Chapter Three"

.

A week had gone by, Claude and Lynette had managed to bring Vincent back so Chaos could play with the boy. Chaos only seemed interested in Vincent, and let the other two do as they pleased, which was nothing more than watching Chaos and Vincent, there was nothing else for them to do around the old building that wasn't dangerous anyways.

They brought Chaos what was left of their school lunches, and newer blankets for his bed. Though, Chaos didn't care about eating, or about how big or comfortable his pile of blankets were. He only cared that Vincent came, and would collect things around Old Midgar to show to the boy, like a dog would bring little 'presents' to it's master. He would hold the boy's hand, and lead him around, showing him what was left of the Shinra building. Most of it was gone however, it was mainly just underground tunnels that had been closed up long ago.

When Chaos wasn't leading him around, he would follow Vincent around. He even followed to the edge of Old Midgar and Edge, where the children had to convince him that he had to go back to the Shinra building.

"Vin-suhnt." Chaos called out to him often, almost as if he didn't know any other word. He would always pet the boy's hair, though it frightened him, Chaos tried to be as gentle as he could be with the boy, despite his claws.

They always came after school to visit him, as if he were a 'pet' to them, they always came to check up on him. The children had all but lost interest in the crystal covered by the tarp, after the reaction out of him the first time, they didn't even want to go near the thing. It was much too important to him.

The first weekend came, and they did not visit Chaos. They were busy with a friend they did not see often, and Chaos didn't seem to understand. He spent the entire weekend sitting in a spot in front of the pile of rubble blocking the door, waiting for them to come. He didn't move, he didn't look around. He just listened for the footsteps that wouldn't be approaching.

When Claude, Lynette and Vincent had finally come back, he had reverted back to holding the boy the entire time and petting him. His grip was tighter than usual, and he knew it petrified the poor boy, but he didn't care, he just didn't want to go days without seeing him again.

They returned the next day, with some convincing to get Vincent to come again. Chaos was mellower than he had been the day before, and showed Vincent some old pictures he had found in the Shinra building. It was people he didn't know, Chaos knew none of them either, but he thought that Vincent would find them interesting.

Days had passed by, and Chaos finally realized that they wouldn't be showing up for two days again. He held Vincent to him as long as he could that last day, much softer than normal, so that Vincent wouldn't be scared. Vincent didn't say anything as the beast stroked his hair, but he cried. He was terrified of Chaos because of how much affection he had shown the boy, Vincent couldn't comprehend why though.

Thanks for the reviews guys, it took a weight off of my shoulders. Do the chapters seem short? I can't really tell because my screen resolution is 1680 by 1050 so everything looks short to me. I hope this chapter wasn't too boring, I know there isn't a lot of action, but I'm not very good at writing action sequences and such.
