Ivan stared at the small boy in the cell across from his. He was curled up in a ball on the bed, shivering and whimpering. He looked miserable. Then again, he was only a child. He wasn't used to this kind of treatment.
"Tino, it is almost mealtime. You need to get dressed."
"Kunnossa." Tino uncurled himself and went to go change out of his pajamas. They were beige, uniform, and extremely itchy. Ivan averted his eyes, as common courtesy, when the boy changed.
When the guard came to take them to the cafeteria, Ivan glared so ferociously at Tino's guard that he was scared enough to stay five feet away from the boy at all times. Unfortunately, Ivan's guard saw this action, and now Ivan was sitting in the cafeteria with an empty plate.
Big guy like you, missing one meal shouldn't hurt!
Arthur, Antonio, Matthew, and Roderich slid in next to Ivan and began to eat, making aimless chatter. They were soon joined by Oliver, Luciano, and Ruslan, who were now allowed in the cafeteria and play-yard, "for rehabilitation purposes." Luciano smirked. "Rehabilitation my ass. It's more like they want to get rid of us for an hour."
Tino made his way to the table shakily, carrying his lunch tray with both hands. He sat down next to Ivan quietly. On his lunch tray, he had two bread rolls and a cup of banana yogurt. Without a word, he transferred both of the rolls onto Ivan's tray and opened his banana yogurt. Ivan just stared at the bread on his plate.
"Thank you. Are you sure just yogurt will be enough?"
"Y-yes." Tino looked up at Ivan, and it was the first time Ivan had seen the boy smile.
"Hmm. If you say so." Ivan smiled, and bit into a piece of the stale roll. It required hard work in the jaw department, but Ivan didn't care.
"You know," Oliver remarked, biting into an apple, "You remind me of a girl in the psych ward. Quiet on the outside, but on the inside she's a cold-blooded killer."
"This boy is no killer." Ivan stared at Oliver, who just bit into the apple again.
"I hope she doesn't come out today. She's a freaky little thing. Totally obsessed with her 'big brother'." Luciano shuddered.
"Look." Ruslan said quietly, and pointed to the door at the back of the cafeteria.
"Dammit." Luciano swore, and poked Oliver. Oliver looked at the door in shock, and let out a small squeal.
"Oh, butterscotch."
Ivan and the others looked to where Ruslan was pointing, to what caused the cold-blooded killers such fear.
Standing there was a small girl wearing a pink dress, unusual, yet pretty. Her fluff of blond hair was tied back with a blue ribbon, and she wore small mary janes. She was smiling, and she was making a beeline straight for their table, black doll feet tip-tapping on the concrete floor. She slid in right next to Oliver and flashed a beaming smile.
"Good morning, Oliver! Luciano, Ruslan!"
Oliver tried to smile, but it was shaky and forced.
"G-good morning, L-Lili."
The others just stared. Ivan was expecting something more like his psychopathic little sister, Natalia. Matthew thought she was adorable. The others had mixed opinions. Ruslan... well, Ruslan thought a little differently.
"Good morning, Lili. How are you today?"
"Fine, thank you." Lili picked up a cracker from Roderich's tray and began to nibble it. Roderich's face turned purple, and he yelled, "Hey, that was mine!" Lili just stared at him. "I'm sorry?"
"You don't have the right to take other people's food! Especially if it's one of the only meals we'll get all day?"
Lili's smile dropped, and then Roderich was on the floor, with Lili's heel on his stomach. She must have been pressing down hard, because he was gasping for air. Lili leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"I get whatever I want. Okay?"
Roderich nodded, and Lili released him, skipping back to her seat. Oliver looked at Ivan, as if to say, You see? I told you.
Lili just kept nibbling on the cracker, and once she had reduced it to crumbs, she leaned her head on Oliver's shoulder, causing the strawberry blonde to whimper.
"Lili..."
"Mmm." She said, snuggling into his side, "Not as comfy as big bruder, but comfy enough."
"P-please.." Oliver looked almost pitiful. The scene was adorable, admittedly, but Oliver looked so uncomfortable it was all ruined. The others had to stifle giggles, but Oliver finally diverted Lili's attention to Luciano.
"W-why don't you go hang out with Luciano for a little bit, L-Lili?" Lili pouted, then went to go sit next to the uncomfortable Italian, cooing and stroking his hair. Luciano made a face at Oliver.
I'm going to murder your fucking face later, blue-eyed freak.
Oliver just smiled and finger waved at him, then hopped off the bench, made a hasty goodbye, and ran back to the safety of the psych ward.
...
"What was wrong with her?" Roderich shuddered as he sat down next to Arthur.
"Clearly she has some kind of mental deformity. It's just so obvious." Arthur replied, shuffling the deck of cards nonchalantly.
"I'm not so sure. She seems slightly...yandere." Matthew mumbled.
"Yan...dere?"
"It's a term Kiku taught me. It means obsessing over somebody you love and are willing to kill to keep them safe."
"Who's Kiku?" Iva wondered.
"Oh, just my friend. I'm just glad he didn't end up in here. He had a good life, boyfriend, house, all that good stuff." Matthew smiled at the memory. Arthur, however, looked like he was about to vomit.
"A-arthur?"
"Matthew, Kiku's dead."
I can no write good. Cliffhanger is cliffhanger.
