Once again. #SaveShadowhunters.
Also, I fucked up the timelines of Riverdale, so I just have it the way I want. I can't do anything about it now. So let's just have it this way and deal with it. Okay, back to Mevin.
Moose walked through the trees of Fox Forest, carrying a huge bouquet of gorgeous red gerbera daisies. They looked absolutely beautiful in the wintery forest, where the snow covered everything like a blanket. The area might have screamed cold to Moose. But if anything, he felt warm. He was dressed in clothes for a dance or a ball or a party. White tuxedo, black tie and loafers. Moose walked through the snowy wonderland, feeling the crunch under his boots as he approached Sweetwater River. He pushed through one of the trees and smiled down at who he was searching for.
Kevin.
Kevin was facing away from Kevin, staring at the beautiful frozen lake in front of him. Moose couldn't help but smile as the beautiful Keller boy stood in the snowy banks of the river, dressed in a similar fashion that Moose was. White suit, navy blue tie and suede loafers. Moose smiled seeing him. He walked up to him and he put the flower bouquet in front of him. Kevin smiled and took the flowers from him. "Moose... oh my goodness." he said, taking the flowers from him. "Why did you bring me these?"
"Because you deserve it." Moose said, walking over so that they were face to face. Moose was a bit taller than Kevin, so he looked down on the gorgeous man. His skin was free of scars and cuts and pimples. Like peaches. Moose held Kevin's elbows in his large football player hands and he looked down into Kevin's beautiful brown eyes. Kevin leaned up and kissed Moose. Moose kissed him back, still holding his elbows as he held the bouquet of flowers that were brighter than the surroundings around them.
Moose loved the touch of Kevin on him and the taste of his lips. He tasted exactly like coconuts and strawberries. Kevin let him go and he smiled up at Moose. "I should have gotten you something." Kevin said, hugging the flowers that were a gift from the beautiful football player in front of him.
"You're the perfect gift for me Kevin. I don't need anything more." Moose said with a wide smile.
Kevin chuckled and he kissed the bottom of Moose's chin. "Happy Birthday." he whispered, moving into Moose's hug.
Moose smiled and he hugged Kevin back. Kevin pulled away and he looked deep into Moose's eyes. Kevin's hand lingered to his beauty mark on his cheek. "I do have a surprise for you." he said, moving his hands to pull of the blazer of his suit. He slowly removed his shirt and tie and started to undress Moose. Moose chuckled, kissing Kevin all over his face as Kevin took off the clothes that constricted him from his body. Moose moved his legs and tackled Kevin onto the snow, making the shirtless sheriff's son laugh hard as he held the back of Moose's neck.
"Hey." Kevin said, moving his head as he held Moose close to him. "I love you."
Moose's smile turned wide. The blush in his cheeks went all over to his face and he kissed Kevin hard. Kevin kissed back, wrapping his legs over Moose's bare back and stomach. "I love you too." Moose said when he let go. He moved in to kiss Kevin again, but Kevin held his hand up, stopping him. Moose looked up at him, kind of confused. But the next seventeen words that came out of Kevin's mouth explained it all.
"Then why did to let me go?" he asked. "Why did you let The Black Hood get to me?"
Moose raised his eyebrows, his chest getting tight. "W-What?"
Kevin chest raised and cuts started to appear all over his skin. Cuts, bruises and blood started to cover Kevin. Kevin started to yell in pain as the injuries grew all over him. Moose started to shake, he moved to stop the bleeding from a cut that grew on his head. Just like when he found Kevin all those terrible months ago. "Kevin! Kevin, no!" Moose cried, shaking from fear as the blood that spews from his injuries started to darken.
Kevin legs, that were previously wrapped around his back, fell down. Kevin screamed in pain. Moose heard the bones crack from under him. Kevin's eyes closed and he stopped screaming and fighting the pain. "Kevin? Kevin?!" Moose cried, holding him. "No, no! Kevin no! Please, come back to me. Come back to me Kev! Wake up!"
Moose saw the snow stop to fall and a figure come our from the woods where he did. Moose held Kevin close to him, seeing that the figure was The Black Hood. The man that was haunting everyone in Riverdale's nightmares. He walked over to the two, carrying the huge ax that he always does. Moose couldn't find himself to move, his grip on Kevin loosening. No matter how hard he tried to hold him closer to him, tighter to him, his grip around his shoulders were slackening.
The Black Hood grabbed bloody Kevin from him and dragged him away from Moose. "No..." Moose begged, trying to move towards the serial killer. "Please..."
The Black Hood took Kevin towards the frozen river and he slammed his bloody body onto the ice that was thick as glass. Moose tried to force himself to stand, but he couldn't. He was frozen in place. Just staring at the man who took Kevin from him. "No..." he cried, tears spilling down his face as he reached out his once hand to Kevin's body. "Please..."
The Black Hood raised his ax and he looked down at Kevin. His blood was dripping all over the ice now. Moose screamed loudly as the ax came down of Kevin's chest.
"NO!" Moose screamed, sitting up in bed. He was covered in sweat and he was shaking. Moose looked around his room, trying to find Kevin. But he knew that he wasn't there. It was just another dream. Or another nightmare. Moose wiped his sweat covered hair out of his face and he wiped away the tears forming in his eyes. He wanted to cry. He wanted to cry so hard and curl up in a ball and just out all the emotions that were forced inside his chest.
Kevin.
Oh God Kevin.
The dreams about Kevin. They were getting so real now. Almost like they were actually happening. Like he was actually there. Moose curled his fingernails into his palms, tears falling down his face now freely. Kevin was still in the coma. Kevin was stripped away from him. Moose shook his head angrily, trying to be rid of his thoughts from the evil man that attacked Kevin. Moose grabbed his phone from the floor below him and he checked the time. It was pretty late. Meaning that his nightmare made him sleep in late. Again. It wasn't the first time that a terrible fucking dream with Kevin being awake and alive in it made him late for school. He could have slept for another hour and not gone to school in general. But Moose knew he couldn't. The nightmares would just continue. And Moose was already emotionally drained from the first. He just needed to go the school.
Moose forced himself out of bed and he slowly dressed. Moose was in no condition to dress in his school colors. He left his varsity jacket on the chair of his desk. He dressed in a very depressing grey hoodie and jeans, not caring if he looked too Gothic. He put on his Converses and grabbed his bag. He walked out of his room and down the stairs. He was home alone again. His parents had left him a few days ago for three months to go to a convention and a few meetings. So Moose could leave or go wherever he wanted. Moose grabbed his keys and he left his house. He started to walk down his sidewalk to get to school, not even wanting to bother to drive today. It only took a few moments for him to get to school, since he didn't live that far from the school. He walked over towards the front door and walked inside. He was met by his fellow students, friends and classmates. They were confused why he was late and missed first period. But they knew not to ask him from the dark circles and obvious shake in his hands.
Moose walked over to his locker and put his bag inside, grabbing the book that he needed for after his class after his second period free period. Midge walked up to him and she touched his shoulder. Moose jumped a bit, making Midge step back a few steps. "Hey." she said. "Are you okay?"
"No." he answered honestly, closing his locker with a slam.
Midge smiled and she handed Moose a small present box. Moose gave her a weak smile. "Happy Birthday." she said, handing him it.
"You didn't have to give me a present Midge. You know that I don't like getting gifts from people. It makes me feel bad."
"I don't care. I just think that you deserve a gift. Open it."
Moose sighed and he pulled out the top of the box and he took open a dog tag necklace. One of the tags had a football on it and another had his name on it. Moose smiled, remembering that he told Midge how much the military inspired him. Moose held the tags in his hand and he smiled. "Thank you Midge." he said, pulling her into a hug.
"Hey." she said. "I wanted to talk to you. I want to talk to you tomorrow, but I think that you deserve to know. Moose I... I know that you like Kevin."
"Midge, look I-"
Midge held up her hand. "No Moose. It's okay. I'm not homophobic or think that heterosexuality is normal. I don't care really who you like. But I know how much you care about him. And I just want you to be happy."
Moose sighed and he wiped a forming tear. "I had a nightmare... that he and I were at Fox Forest. He told me Happy Birthday and then he kissed me. And I kissed back."
Moose leaned back onto his locker and he sighed loudly. Midge stood near him and she held his elbow calming. All Moose could think about now was were he held Kevin's elbows while they kissed in the snowy wonderland that was Fox Forest in his dreams. "And then The Black Hood came. He took Kevin away from me... attacked him again."
Midge grabbed his hand and she smiled. "Kevin will be okay Moose. And... and if you want to be with him when he wakes up. It's okay."
Moose sighed and he took Midge's hand. "Midge... promise me that you'll be happy without me."
"Only if you promise that we stay friends." Midge said, moving and hugging Moose. Moose hugged her back and rubbed her hair. Midge let go and she blew him a kiss.
"Stay strong Moose." she said. "And Happy Birthday."
Midge walked off the hall, leaving Moose smiling. Moose put on his dog tags and he left.
Hal held Penelope's hand as he entered the hall of the hospital. "Stay right here you beautiful blossom." he whispered. "I'll be right back. I just want to visit my daughter's friend."
"Go ahead Hal." Penelope responded, pulling out her phone. "I'll be out here while you do it."
Hal nodded and he walked inside the room. Sure enough, laying on the bed was Kevin Keller. Unconscious and still in his coma. Hal smiled down at him and walked up to his bed. "Hey Kevin." he whispered to him, grabbing a hold of his leg tightly. "How are you feeling? Better?"
Kevin couldn't and didn't respond. Hal smiled and he walked up to Kevin. "You know Kevin... I wasn't ever planning to hurt you. I was just going to beat you, send a message to those trying to stop me. But you figured out my plan. I must say, you're a better detective than Betty if you could recognize my voice after seeing me face to face once."
Hal tapped Kevin's nose. "You were supposed to die. Not tell anyone who I am or what I'm doing. But don't worry Kevin-" Hal leaned into Kevin and whispered into his ears. "Things we'll be just fine. Just. Fine"
Hal pulled out the outlet of Kevin's breath tube and broke it. Kevin started to spas out. Chest heaving up and down like he was having a seizure. Hal smiled widely. He then walked over to the door and yelled out. "Help!" he screamed. "Someone help! Something's wrong with him! HELP!"
Hal was pushed out of the room and into Penelope's arms as the doctors and nurse's ran inside. Penelope gasped in shock, looking completely scared for the boy. She have been terrible to Cheryl, but she loved her daughter. He couldn't imagine what this must feel like for their child to be stripped from them.
The doctors wheeled Kevin's bed out, screaming orders out to everyone. "Call this boy's father!" he yelled. "Call him down, hurry up! He's losing air!"
Hal smiled. His plan was coming into fruition. Sinners had to die. All sinners. Including Kevin.
