A little while later, Kyle went upstairs to get a quick nap in. Having set his alarm for two hours. Figuring that it wasn't too short or too long and could help him feel better rested. He shut the door behind him as he headed over to his bed. Leaning the crutches against them and taking his jeans off before slipping on his pajama bottoms. Quickly slipping under the thick quilts that Maggie had gifted him a couple of weeks ago. Falling asleep almost immediately when his head hit the pillow.
It wasn't long before he was yanked out of his dreams. Hearing the door slowly open along with some very soft footsteps. The door shut nearly silently before the footsteps made their way to his bed. At first, he thought it was Tommy. As this was something the Buddi had done before and was his usual way of waking him up. But squashed those thoughts when he remembered that Tommy had promised to not wake him while he slept. That he also would keep Glenda from bugging him during his nap as well. He felt his pulse race as he quickly sat up in bed. Reaching for his phone, he unlocked it and turned on the flashlight. Only to see Chucky standing before his bed.
With a rather disturbing grin on his face as he stared up at the teen. Placing a little finger over his mouth as he made a 'shhh' noise. One that would've been comedical if it weren't from the admitted murderer who broke into his room.
A feeling of annoyance rose in him as Chucky climbed onto his bed. Carefully walking over to the teen with his creepy glowing eyes. Putting a hand up, he asked,"The hell're you doing in my room, Chuck?"
"Shh, Kyle. I'm just checking up on you is all.",Chucky answered. Not deterred by the hand raised in front of him in the slightest bit. Gently keeping it trapped under his armpit, he grinned wider at the teen. Examining his face in ways that felt very uncomfortable and familiar. The Buddi not saying anything as he stared into Kyle's eyes. Then he gently moved Kyle's hand to the side of his own face. Making the teen cup his cheek as he nuzzled his palm. In a soft voice, he added,"Just to see how you're feeling. You looked strangely pale when you came home today."
"I just had to be sure that you're not sick is all.",Chucky continued. Nuzzling the palm of Kyle's hand once again while humming. Pressing his cheek a bit harder as he stared into Kyle's eyes. Almost as if he were challenging him to take his hand away or something. Which the teen tried to do as he stated,"I'm not sick, Chuck. Just tired. And I'd probably doing a lot better if you had just let me sleep."
"Now give me my fucking hand back.",Kyle hissed. Struggling to pull it back as Chucky's grip tightened around his wrist. The Buddi's fingers digging into his skin until it really started to hurt. Making his wrist feel sore as he stared down at him. Trying to continue to get his wrist back, he said,"You're hurting me. Let go of my fucking arm already."
The doll reluctantly did as the teen asked of him. Frowning slightly as he crossed his arms against his chest. Almost as if he were angry that Kyle didn't want him touching him like that. Despite the 'talk' they had this morning, he still didn't understand that he wasn't comfortable with it. With a sigh, he set his phone on the bed, then reached over to put Chucky on the floor. In an attempt to get the Buddi as far away from him as humanly possible. Instead, Chucky misinterpreted it as the teen reaching over to hug him. Moving forward, he wrapped his little arms around Kyle's torso with a grin. Pressing his cheek against Kyle's stomach as he stared up at him. Looking just as giddy as when he was seated on Andy's lap not that long ago. It annoyed him to no end as he reached down to dislodge him. In a soft voice, he said,"I don't want a hug, Chucky. I just want to nap."
"Can't you just leave me alone for a little while?",Kyle asked. Ignoring the slight whine in his voice when he demanded this. Glaring down at the Buddi's glowing blue eyes as he stared right up at the teen. Pressing his cheek harder into Kyle's shirt as he answered,"I can help you sleep, Kyle. I've done it for Andy when he's tired. I'm sure it can help you."
That made him raise an eyebrow in disbelief. As there was this lingering doubt in the back of his mind. As he doubted Andy needed Chucky to fall asleep at night. Nor did he really feel like having any more of the Buddi's brand of 'help'. Kyle frowned as he shook his head at Chucky and said,"No thank you. I can fall asleep on my own."
"I'm not taking 'no' for an answer, Kyle.",Chucky muttered as he pulled out of the hug. Without any warning, he pushed the teen onto his back. Crawling over his chest as he gently hugged his shoulders and started singing softly. It wasn't the Buddi song, like he'd expected it would be. Instead, it was just 'You Are My Sunshine'. Chucky pressed his cheek against Kyle's as he gripped him tightly. Making it difficult for the teen to even squirm in his bed. Not even coming close to bucking the annoying doll off of himself. Trying to push him off, Kyle opened his mouth to call for help. Hoping that either Andy or Tommy would come up.
Soon as he did, Chucky let go of his shoulders. Then slapped both of his hands over Kyle's mouth. Using his legs to pin his arms to his sides. Glaring down at him, he said,"Shhh. Don't you dare make a damn sound, Kyle. I'm just trying to be a good friend here."
"Just let me do this for you.",Chucky added. Glaring deeply into the teen's eyes as he tried to struggle against him. Noticing the fear in his eyes as he squirmed under him. He gave an annoyed sigh as he sat up on Kyle's chest. Not letting go of his mouth as he stared him in the eye. Tilting his head to the side, he asked,"Is it really too hard for you to let me help you? Are you really that against someone treating you with the love you deserve?"
"Stop being so stubborn and go to sleep already.",he growled. That seemed to make Kyle calm down a little bit. His squirming stopped as he stared into the Buddi's glassy eyes. Soon as he stilled, Chucky carefully lifted his hands off of his mouth. Gripping the sides of his face as he gave him a small smile. Then resumed singing the annoying lullaby. Kyle's eyelids fluttered close as he seemed to fall back asleep. Breathing becoming more steady as well. When he finished the lullaby, he let go of Kyle's shoulders and carefully sat on his chest. Quietly testing if the teen was really asleep or not. Once he was absolutely sure that Kyle was asleep, he tapped into his phone. Muting it so Kyle couldn't hear the alarm go off. Then he turned his attention back to the seemingly asleep teen. Looking over at the door before looking back down at him.
Staring intently at Kyle's lips. They looked like they would be soft. Part of him had envied the relationship between him and Tommy. How lovingly he looked at him. Their annoyingly sweet little pet names for each other. That stupid hickey the other Buddi made on Kyle's throat. It was hard seeing him be so tender with the other Buddi. Curled up around each other and play parents to Glenda. All he wished was the teen could show him that kind of love. Give him similar sweet gestures. To see if those lips were as soft as he believed they were. The thought of kissing Kyle was starting to be impossible to ignore. Especially, when he was staring down at them. Chucky gently gripped the sides of his face as he almost leaned down to press his own against them. Stopping himself before they could even come close to touching. Unsure if it was wise to keep going when Kyle had barely fallen asleep. As he worried he'd have the awkwardness Sleeping Beauty never had with her prince. Yet, he couldn't stop thinking of what it would be like to kiss him.
The urge to slowly growing stronger as he resisted it. Slowly finding the temptation of it almost too much. Then just deciding to throw caution to the wind as he carefully pressed his lips to Kyle's. Taking extreme care to not wake the teen. Almost giddy at how soft they really felt under his own. It felt better than he imagined it would. Not pulling away as he pressed a few more quick soft kisses to the sleeping teen's lips. Noticing that Kyle didn't seem to be waking up in the slightest bit as he kept pressing little kisses. That he looked utterly peaceful as he did so. A sudden boldness took over him as he pressed one longer kiss on Kyle's mouth. Chucky slowly shut his eyelids as he did so. Goodness, it was better than he anticipated it was going to be. Even better than Tommy had made it out to be.
Panic overtook him when he felt Kyle's breathing quicken. Noticed that his pulse was racing again and opened his eyes. Carefully pulling away as he stared down at the teen, afraid that the kiss had woken him up. Almost finding it hilarious as he stared at his face. Eyelids fluttering but not opening in the slightest bit. Breathing quickening as he whimpered in his sleep. Oh, a nightmare. That's all this was. He wasn't disturbed by the Buddi's kisses. Just having a bad dream. Chucky sang softly as he stroked the sides of Kyle's face. Keeping the tone of his voice soft as he watched his expression carefully. Still not waking but definitely calming down. Soon as his heart rate slowed down, he let out a soft sigh of relief as he watched him. Carefully climbing off of Kyle's chest, he pulled the quilt off of his chest. Keeping a careful eye on him as he did so.
There was something he had wanted to see. Whether or not Kyle had a core like he did or not. And if it worked the same as his own or not.
Chucky grinned as he slowly pushed up Kyle's shirt. Examining the skin that was now being exposed to him as he pushed up the fabric. Noticing the few scars on the teen's chest as he moved the shirt up. One was from his navel down near his left hip. Another was just barely touching the beginning of his rib cage. It looked very old. As did the other scar. But it didn't make the injury any less horrifying for the Buddi to look at. How long did Kyle have these scars for? What in the world were they from? Putting those thoughts aside, he continued to examine Kyle's chest. Not seeing signs of a core that he had. Just relatively smooth patch of skin where it should have been. Carefully, he reached out to touch the spot. His eyes darting up to Kyle's face as he did so. There was no signs that this action disturbed him in the slightest bit. So Chucky continued to touch the smooth flesh with a small smile. Admiring the feel of it under his fingertips. Finding himself wondering how it would feel under his lips as well. Wondering how Kyle would react to it as well.
Guessing he'd probably be somewhat annoyed. Ignoring this, he moved his hand from the spot he touched and pressing his lips to the spot. Loving the sensation that this brought him. But it wasn't enough in the doll's mind. He wanted more. Wanted Kyle to be awake and watching him kiss him all over. Highly doubting that the teen would let him. Or even would want him to. Putting that to the side, Chucky quickly brought the shirt back down. Carefully watching Kyle's face the whole time. It was a miracle the teen was still asleep. Despite how much Chucky had been touching his skin and pressing his lips against him. With a smile, he pulled the quilts over him carefully. Turning his alarm back on with a wave of his fingertip. Then quickly moved off the bed without waking the teen up.
Tip toeing out of the room, he glanced around the hallway. Hoping the other Buddi wasn't there waiting for him. Instead, he noticed that Andy was coming up the stairs. Looking utterly confused as he got closer to his best friend. Kneeling, he asked,"What were you doing?"
"Just checking on Kyle, Andy. I thought I heard him whimpering and I went to be sure that he was alright.",Chucky answered. Grinning in a way that he hoped Andy would believe. It seemed to work as Andy nodded his head slightly. Seemingly taking this answer at face value. Then quickly picking him up as he said,"That's creepy, Chucky. Kyle doesn't need you to come into his room while he's sleeping. You need to give him some space."
"Otherwise he won't want to be your friend.",Andy added. His tone making it clear that it was the truth. Chucky knew that it was the truth as well. He gently gripped the younger teen's clothes as they made their way downstairs. Giving a soft sigh as he said,"I know that. But I was worried about him. He's been through so much lately."
"I just want to make him happy too.",Chucky stated. Something that definitely wasn't a lie. He did want to make Kyle happy. Since he was the reason that he was getting his second chance. And Kyle was a very sweet guy. He deserved the very best. Chucky felt that he could do that for him. Looking at Andy as they went into the living room. Noticing that Andy looked like he wanted to believe him. Yet, he seemed a little uneasy by his answer. That was fine. After all, he'd done a lot to make it hard for Andy to believe in him. But he knew that he'd earn that back sooner or later. All he had to be was patient.
When they got into the living room, he noticed Glenda and Tommy watching T.V. Both of them seated near the coffee table in front of Karen. Who was messing around on her phone. Doing whatever the Hell she liked on it. Soon as she noticed either of them, she gave a small nod and a smile. Earning one from her son as he sat them down on the couch. Putting himself between his Mom and the Buddi. Another thing that he knew was necessary. Earning Karen's trust was going to take some time. Probably more than Andy's ever was going to. Part of him believing that he might not ever earn that back and he might not have ever had it in the first place either. He ignored that as he watched the T.V, it was going to happen. Sooner or later, he was going to have everyone's trust. Not just Karen and Andy's but Kyle's too.
Sooner or later.
When his alarm rang, Kyle begrudgingly got up from his bed. Fixing his hair back into place. As well as stretching a little before turning off the alarm on his phone. Shoving it into his pajama pants pocket. When he was done he touched his lips for a moment. Thinking about the strange dream that he had. One where he really was the Prince trapped in the terrible maze. Being chased by horrible monsters who wanted to rip him apart. One of which looked like his Dad...he remembered seeing the strange Knight destroy them all. Coming closer to him with a horribly bloody ax. Only stopping when Kyle had fallen to his knees. Begging the person to not kill him and help him out of the maze. The Knight immediately dropped his weapon and peeled off his helmet. Revealing Tommy's face if he were a human being instead of a Buddi. It was rather, cute.
The Knight apologized in the dream as he came closer to him. Telling him that he wasn't there to kill him. But to save him from the maze that he was trapped in by the evil witch. Gently holding his face before kissing him. Which felt so real. Like there had been another person actually touching his lips.
Rolling his eyes, he quickly grabbed his crutches from the dresser. Getting up as he mumbled,"Pff, yeah right. No one is gonna pull a 'Sleeping Beauty'with me."
Heading out of his room, he noticed there was laughter coming from the living room. Raising an eyebrow, he hurried downstairs to see what was going on. Noticing that everyone was watching some weird movie on the T.V. Then he realized it was something involving Monty Python. But not immediately recognizing which Monthy Python sketch. Kyle carefully made his way over to the couch. Ignoring Chucky as he sat down at the end of it. Putting his crutches against the nearest wall as he stared at the screen. Continuing to ignore Chucky as he stared at him for a little bit. Then returned his gaze forward as well. A little while later, there was a knock at the door. Making him jump slightly as Karen stood up to go check it. She hurried over to it as she explained,"Sorry, Kyle. I ordered us some pizzas before you woke up."
"You okay with me getting us cheese and pepperoni pizzas?",she asked. Kyle nodded his head at this and turned to stare at the movie. While they watched the movie, Chucky had moved his feet to touch the older teen's thigh. Pressing the tip of his shoes into Kyle's thigh for a little bit. Making him squirm slightly as he watched the movie. Kyle mumbled,"Stop that, Chuck. You're hurtin' me."
To his surprise, the doll actually stopped as he asked him to. Giving him soft apologies as he curled up closer to Andy. A second later, Karen came over with three boxes of pizza in her arms. Andy carefully getting up to help her take them into the kitchen. While he did that, Chucky scooted closer to Kyle. Keeping a careful eye on the back of Tommy's head. Before he could get too close, Kyle put a pillow between them. Hoping the little barrier would deter the other Buddi. It didn't as he merely shoved the pillow across the couch. Right to where Karen was sitting. He then proceeded to press his right side against Kyle's left thigh. Not looking up at him as he rested against him. Acting like it was the most normal thing in the world. An overwhelming urge to shove him off came over him as he sneered down at Chucky. Instead of doing that, he gently gripped the back of his overalls instead. Lifting him up carefully and setting him down an arm's length away from him a stern look as he whispered,"Don't touch me without asking me. I meant what I told you this morning."
Soon as he was done moving Chucky off of him, he noticed Tommy staring at them. A look of utter confusion on his face as he stared. Glancing between him and Chucky then up at Kyle again. Tilting his head in Chucky's direction as if he were asking a question. With a small smile, he mouthed,'It's okay. I'm okay.'
It seemed to placate his Buddi enough into turning back around. A moment later, he heard Karen ask what kind of pizza he wanted. As well as how many. Telling her that he just wanted two slices of cheese pizza. Glenda hurriedly got up to get her own slices. While Tommy got up off the floor to sit on Kyle's lap on the couch. Giving the other Buddi a stern glare of his own as he did so. While they sat together, he asked,"Did you have a good nap, Kyle?"
"Yeah. Had a weird dream but nothing all that terrible.",he answered. That seemed to spark Tommy's interest as he stared up at him. Turning his entire frame to look up at the older teen. Gently gripping his shoulders, as he asked,"Do you want to talk about the dream?"
"It was just about me being a Prince and getting kissed by a Knight.",he stated. Telling his Buddi how real it felt as well. Almost as if someone were actually kissing him or something. Reminding himself that dreams usually felt that way. And that it probably was his own hand touching his face. Not noticing that there was an embarrassed expression briefly crossing Chucky's face. Nor even wanting to look at the other Buddi at all. Tommy definitely caught the look. And he kept a careful expression as he stared up at the older teen. Grinning a little before he agreed that it was weird. Subtly, he turned to look at the other Buddi. Who suddenly found the T.V screen interesting once again. Before he could even begin to ask him any questions, Karen came in with food. Some for herself and a plate for Kyle.
Thanking her, he took the plate in one hand and set it down next to him. Carefully arranging Tommy in his arm as he started eating. Tommy carefully grasping the older teen's shirt with both hands as they sat together.
Andy came in a minute later with at least four slices of pizza. With Glenda following closely behind with just one slice. Chucky carefully moved so he could sit down. Not looking happy with being closer to the other Buddi. But not being openly hostile as they sat next to each other. Instead, he just crossed his arms and turned his attention to Andy. Who was making a sandwich with two of his slices. Wincing slightly when Chucky leaned his elbows onto his thigh. But not making moves to move him away as he ate his dinner and watched the movie. Glenda had moved from her previous spot to one closest to her big brother and the Buddi. Everyone eating in relative silence as they watched the T.V screen. Soon as they were done, Andy helped his Mom clean up the living room. Taking the plates from Kyle and Glenda before heading out to the kitchen. Helping his Mom with washing the dishes. Him drying them while she washed them. As they cleaned the dishes, Tommy moved in the older teen's grip. So they were now face to face. Leaning up to kiss him on the lips again. Grinning slightly as Kyle kissed back just as enthusiastically. Keeping a watchful eye just in case Karen or Andy were coming back.
Knowing that Glenda wasn't paying attention to really care.
But Kyle briefly noticed the strange look on Chucky's face. Almost as if he were smirking about something. It slightly unsettled him as he tried to ignore it as he kept kissing Tommy. Only stopping when they heard footsteps approaching. Having Tommy settle back in his previous spot as they watched the T.V. Noticing that Andy was the one coming into the room with a can of soda in his hand. Chucky scooting again to let him sit back down. Curling back up against him as the younger teen watched the movie. A little while later, Karen came into the room as she checked the time. Looking down at Glenda, she gave a small smile as she said,"I know it's the weekend but we need to keep you on schedule. So it's bedtime, Glenda."
That caused the six-year old to pout as she gave a soft groan. Karen gently telling her that she had to as she helped her up. Taking her upstairs to get ready for bed. While she did this, Tommy noticed that Chucky was staring at Kyle. Not just his face but his lips. Like he was highly interested in the older teen's mouth for some reason. And he could only guess what exactly that reason could be. Glaring at the other Buddi, he pressed his frame closer against Kyle's. Thinking of various ways to defend him from Chucky if absolutely necessary. Only stopping when Kyle kissed the top of his head and whispering,"Whatever you're thinking of, don't. He's not worth getting in trouble over."
Of course he knew that. But he still couldn't help himself. Part of him wanted to dismantle Chucky and throw his pieces into a fire. Anything to keep him as far as possible from his Kyle and Glenda. Putting those thoughts to the side, he just kept watching the movie for a bit. Noticing that Karen was approaching them, he asked,"Can we help you, Ms. Barclay?"
"Glenda wants you in her room tonight.",Karen answered. Holding her hands out for him as she gave him a polite smile. He carefully pulled himself out of Kyle's grip to move into hers. Giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before she picked Tommy up. If Glenda wanted him, he was going to fufil her request. As he knew that she was having just a hard of time lately as Kyle was. And that she needed him to act as a nightlight until Karen got her a new one. While he clung to Karen's arms, she hurried upstairs to take him to Glenda's room. Bringing him over to her as she said,"Here he is. You guys have a good night and pleasant dreams."
Tucking the Buddi in with Glenda before gently stroking her hair. Kissing her forehead quickly and leaving the room. Only pausing to shut the lights off and close the door to just a crack. Making sure that the light from the hallway would ease some of her anxieties. Heading downstairs, she noticed that Kyle was head towards her. Yawning as he muttered,"I'm going to bed too. They had me come in way too early today. G'night, Karen."
"Good night, Kyle.",she said. Hurrying back to her spot on the couch. Briefly noticing that Andy and Chucky were turning to her. Both of them stopping some conversation as they did so. She raised an eyebrow at this behavior but said nothing. Sitting back down on her spot as she continued to watch the movie. While she did this, Andy got up off the couch with Chucky. Giving a yawn as he told her that he was tired too. And that he was heading to bed. Only stopping to kiss her cheek before heading to his room. Chucky giving her a little wave as they headed to his room. He set the Buddi on his bed before heading to the bathroom to get ready. Brushing his teeth and all that. Washing his face as well. Not hearing Chucky's footsteps as he made his way to Karen's room. Quickly searching her closet for something. Soon as he found what he was looking for, he headed back to Andy's room. Carefully listening for the water to be turned off.
When it finally stopped, he had already rearranged himself on the bed. Having hidden his stolen item in his overalls carefully. Hoping that Andy wouldn't notice when he came back into the room. Shutting the door before turning of the lights. Heading back to his bed, he arranged it so Chucky was laying down next to him. Yawning, he kissed the Buddi's forehead. Mumbling a sweet 'goodnight' as he quickly fell asleep on his bed. Chucky waited a little bit before carefully sliding out of the bed and headed to the door. Opening it as silently as he could and shutting it just as carefully. Keeping his ear pressed to the wood to make sure Andy hadn't woken. When he was sure that he hadn't he hurried over to Kyle's room. A big grin on his face as he carefully opened his door. Sneaking into the room and right over to the bed. Noticing that Kyle was sleeping on his stomach.
Perfect.
It would make this experience a little easier on them both. He carefully climbed up the bed as he grinned inwardly to himself. Slowly moving over the mattress as he watched the older teen. Soon as he was close enough, he pulled out the item from his overalls. A pair of handcuffs. Opening them up, he swiftly pulled Kyle's wrists to him and cuffed him. All while watching the older teen as he did so. Feeling grateful that the teen hadn't even begun to stir. But he still gave him a minute before pulling the blanket down. Admiring Kyle's body as he stared down at him. Feeling a strange sense of power as he pulled the blankets down to his knees. Grinning wider as he stared at Kyle's backside. Still not stirring as the Buddi got closer to him. Gently touching parts of him that he normally wouldn't be allowed to. Sure, it was through the teen's pajama bottoms. But he still enjoyed the privilege of touching him. Nearly giggling with glee as he reached for the waistband of the pants. Gripping it tightly under his fingertips and debating if it would be wise to pull them down or not.
Since he somewhat doubted Kyle would stay asleep through being partially undressed. A part of him still wanted to try it. To be able to feel more of Kyle's flesh even if it did wake him. All he'd have to do is give him a firm warning and he'd get to continue. Maybe put a little fear in him to keep it up as well. As much as he wanted Kyle to not be afraid, Chucky wanted that feeling of power. To see the older teen know who was boss for once. Instead of letting Kyle pretend that he was ever in control. Gritting his teeth, he decided to go with it. Carefully yanking the waistband of his pajama pants and pulling them down a little. Not as far as he did the blankets, but enough to see skin. Along with the cute pair of briefs that Kyle had elected to wear today. With a grin, he slid his fingertips over his skin. Enjoying softness of it under his fingertips. Surprised how good it felt, how warm he was as well. Part of his mind reminding him most living things were warm.
Why would Kyle be the exception?
Shoving that aside, he continued to fondle his skin. But also keeping a careful eye on Kyle's form as he did so. Immediately freezing when he saw Kyle's eyelids flutter. Then open. His head lifting slightly as he noticed his wrists were cuffed. Tugging them as his breathing picked up and his eyes widened. In a sleep choked voice, he whispered,"What's going on? Who's there?"
"Shh...just do as I say, Kyle. And you won't get hurt."
