IMPORTANT: So somebody requested that I write lemon in this fanfic...This is something I have never published online before, but am not entirely opposed to. I was planning to have Zee and Clair get to it at some point in this fanfic, but it was going to be left out of the story, like I did in Nature's Spirit... So what I'll do is let you guys decide. If I get 3 reviews demanding lemon by chapter 19, chapter 20 is gonna have some action in it. If I get 4 reviews by then demanding I DON'T write lemon, I'll leave it out. Thanks you all' enjoy.
Slendy Chapter 13 The Problem with Clothing
After school today, I decided to go to his house. Now that I knew his secret, we had a much faster means of transportation. We walked back into the slightly wooded area. I stood back as I watch him change into his other half, his arms and legs extending, his skin going white and his hair fadding to nothing. When he turned his blank gaze back down to me, he found me...laughing hysterically.
His head tilted to the side in confusion, only making the scene more ridiculous. "I'm hahaha s-sorry. It's just...haha...your clothes are like half your size dude. It looks so silly." He blushed, his mouth open slightly. Zee was the kind of person to wear long sleeves and pants. The thing is, now, his sleeves barely reached past his elbows and his pants were only a few inches below his knees.
He frowned, roughly grabbing my hand with long and bony fingers before slenderwalking us to a tree-heavy spot near his house. He changed back, a blush still present on his face and his eyes reflecting his annoyance and embarassement. I followed him through the door and up to his room. I sat down on his bed, watching him as he dropped his school bag in a corner of the room.
"Hey Zee, the other times I saw you, your clothes fit." He smirked, opening his closet. I looked in, for the first time, and was surprised by what was inside. On the right half, there were all his normal clothes, but on the left... a few shirts and pairs of pants made in the perfect lenght for his slender half. I looked to him, a brow raised. "My mom thought me how to modify clothing pretty early on. I could just look normal either way if I wear t-shirts and long shorts, but it's not my style."
I smiled, imagining him sitting on his bed as Slendy, sowing and in a state of deep focus. I looked back when I noticed he had removed his shirt. I blushed at the sight of his rather well toned chest. He looked up to me, smiling at my blush and tossed his shirt asside, letting it land on a pile of discarded clothing. He pulled out a shirt from his slender clothing section as well as a pair of pants. He slipped the shirt on and tossed the pants on the bed.
I giggled again when I saw his sleeves swallow his arms, way too big for him. He looked at the pair of pants and then to me, a blush creeping up his cheeks. "C-clair...would you mind turning around for a few seconds?..." I blushed as well, listening to him. I heard the rustle of fabric and watched his pants from the day land on top of the pile. "Ok. You can look back now." I turned and looked on the bed. He was sitting on the edge of it as Slendy. His clothing fit perfectly.
He had a white shirt on and black pants. I smiled as I looked at his dashing and elegant form. My smile turned into a wince when I noticed the various dark stains that were present on his shirt, too resiliant to leave in the wash. He noticed where I was looking and shot me an apologetic look, though it was hard to tell because of his lack of eyes or eyebrows. His aura reached for me, calming me.
I sat next to him, cuddled into his side. He sighed, as he often did before he had to tell me something about his darker half. "I...think I have to go hunting tonight. I know I haven't been feeling that dark, but I should never take chances with this." I smiled sadly, placing a light kiss on his cheek. He wrapped a tentacle around me. I felt more comfortable when he used them in this form. It just didn't look that right on Zee...
"I accept you." By the way he smiled, with a quiver in his lip, I guess he would have been on the edge of tears, had he still looked human. I traced the outline of one of the stains on his shirt, lost in thought. The fear I felt was nothing compared to the care. His blood thirsty half made me curious rather than frightened.
"Hey Slendy, have you...have you always needed to kill?" I wasn't sure how to ask that. I guess that was a question I never thought I would ask in my lifetime. He pondered my question for a bit. "..No. It only kicks in later in life. It's pretty dramatic when it happens for the first time. I still remember my first kill..." He stopped, looking down to me, tense. I wrapped an arm around him, looking up where his eyes should be. I wanted to hear it. I don't know why, but I did. I wanted to know all of him, no more secrets. I still had so much to learn...He looked into my face for an other few moments of silence. Three more tentacles wrapped around me. He took a deep breath and began.
"I was just twelve... I was walking in the woods nearby when this man walked over to me. He smelled bad and his clothes were dirty and messed up. I had seen him before. He was a pizza delivery guy. He must have gotten drunk on his day off." I kept my gaze on him, feeling the nostalgia that lined his static. The only image I could think of in my head was that time...when I first saw Slendy...the drunk man that nearly killed me. A chill went down my spine.
He resumed speaking. "The man wanted me to follow him. He tried to take me away. I was kind of far from home and there wasn't anybody around at that time of day, so I couldn't call for help. He grabbed my arm, and when he did...I kind of just...lost it."
He gripped his arms, looking down to his feet. My heart rate increased. "I lost all concious thought for I don't know how long. When I was back in reality, he was dead. I was in slender form and he was dead at my feet. His face...he had this look of pure terror. He was...cut open...chunks missing from him... That's when the taste reached my mind. The taste... so fowl but sweet at the same time."
His words trailed off, nostalgia and satisfaction layered with shame. He clenched his fists. I began to rub his back in slow circles, like a mother would do to a child...like he did to me when I had the nightmare... I paused when he started talking again. "I changed back and ran home. I didn't bother with the...body. I stayed in the woods so nobody would see me...nobody would see the way I was covered in blood. I got in the backyard to my house. My mom was there, gardening. As soon as she saw me...she dropped her tools, walked over and looked at me with this sad smile. I'll never forget that smile... She just said one thing: 'Who was it?'"
I looked on, silent. He had this faint smile on his face, but the energies given off by his aura were rather mixed and I wasn't sure how to react. I knew he wasn't really upset. I knew it felt ordinary and normal to him. But he was nervous...somewhat ashamed even...because he was scared of how I would react. His concern awakened more of the love I was still building for him. I hugged him, looking into his blank face. He tilted his head towards me, observing me. I leaned in and kissed him. It lasted several long seconds. He stopped when I felt him bite my lip, making me squeek slightly due to the sharpness of his teeth.
He moved back, blushing and looking away. "Sorry...I guess that's...my dark side taking over..." He sounded pained, but tried to make it also sound like a joke. Slight sorrow overtook me, but I smiled again and kissed his cheek. I rested my head on his shoulder and tried to piece together what to say next."You go do your hunting. Then, come see me." He smirked and hugged me, resting his head on top of mine. I went home a few minutes after.
As I walked down the road, a tiniest amount of static crackled in my ears and I looked to the roof of the building next to me, only to find the slender perched up there, looking down to me with a soft smile. He slenderwalked away and I hurried home.
AN: I'm sooo tired...anyway, please vote for what I mentioned in my author's note at the top of the chapter. Ugh. I have this document here with the full plan of this fanfic and I always have a moment of mini heart-attack when I post a new chapter, scared that I will have posted that instead accidentally. That would be a pretty huge mistake xD Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Give me feedback.
