"Oh, I'm not so sure it won't be that bad, Boyfriend…" Girlfriend let out a deep sigh. "Look...I know you're scared but, come on! It'll be fun!"
"I know but seeing how everything played out these past few months, I'm sure if I want to be out in public, let alone be at a restaurant," The Boyfriend sighed. "But, if you say that it'll be okay, then alright. Who are we going to meet anyways? Your uncle, you said?"
Girlfriend nodded quickly and smiled. "Yeah! Although what's getting to me is that he knew what my favorite place to go out and eat was...hmm...probably asked my dad or something." She gave a small shrug then smiled back at him. "Anyways, you ready?"
"I guess so! I swear if I have to rap battle anyone I'll lose it. I just want one night, on a Friday night, to go out with you and not have to fight for my life. Let alone our lives."
"Oh, come on. You trust me right?"
"Well, of course I do! You do help me keep me alive and going anyways. Alright, let's go then!" He smiled.
With that being said, the Girlfriend had called for a taxi and she took her lover's hand and went outside to wait for the cab to arrive. With the two sitting and waiting, Boyfriend couldn't shake off the thought about having to rap battle someone in public again. He grew tired of it but kept going since it was a hobby of his and to also impress his lover. As he stared up into the sky, he lets out a small smile and a soft sigh of relief, feeling calm and happy as the wind grew to a soft breeze, brushing through the two against their faces.
"Boyfriend! Boyfriend!" Girlfriend let out a soft giggle.
He shook his head and looked around only to see Girlfriend at the taxi with the door open. "Huh?!"
"You coming?" She giggled at him.
"Oh, yeah! Yeah! I'm coming!" he smirks softly and went to her and the two got into the cab before smiling at one another.
Maybe Boyfriend was wrong and was just being paranoid. No less than ten minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. Girlfriend had opened the door and helped Boyfriend out. As the cab drove off, the two walked inside and the music was playing softly. Soft clinks of glass and people dressed in a semi-formal fashion covered the restaurant. Waiters wearing tuxedos walked calmly and with a smile. All was peaceful. The Boyfriend was in awe and gazed at the entire restaurant. He glanced over at Girlfriend then turned to her. "Wow. This...this is amazing…"
She nodded softly. "It really is a nice sight. I like to come here a lot cause you know...my parents and all…"
"Right. Well, you said that he reserved a table for us, is that correct?"
"Yeah, he did. Although I don't see him. Well, I need to use the restroom so I'll be right back."
"Wait! I want to escort you if…" He looked away blushing softly. "If...you allow me too…"
She giggled sweetly and kissed his cheek then took his hand. "Okay, okay you can escort me there dear…"
"T-thank you, my love. I love you…" He said softly.
She blushed softly and giggled more sweetly. "I love you too dear...come on!" She made her way to the restroom with the Boyfriend by her side when suddenly she saw a familiar face. "Wait...who is that…?"
He looked up at the figure who was nothing more than a floating head, at least six feet tall, and had a hat on with a blue sweater and blue jeans. His head was just a floating skull. His hands were all bone as well and appeared to be floating. On his gloves, however, were black fingerless gloves with holes in each hand. His left eye sparkled a yellow star as he quickly looked up and saw the two.
"So...we meet again, Girlfriend! It's been well over a year since you ran away and hid and left me to rot!" His voice had a strong, thick, Russian accent.
"T-TABI?! W-what are you doing here?!" Girlfriend became worried and started to sweat a little bit.
"I came here to finish what I started! I found you...and now...YOU get to pay for what YOU DID TO ME!" He glanced over at the guy standing next to her and pointed to him. "And who the fuck is he?"
"Hey! I have a name you know! I'm Boyfriend!"
"So...dating another victim huh?!" He glared at Girlfriend then glared back at Boyfriend. "Stupid name you have but listen, dude. She's just using you for your own gain! She just wants to use you until the time is right so she can snatch your soul! LOOK AT ME! THIS IS WHAT SHE!" He points to Girlfriend. "SHE DID TO ME! LOOK! I'm nothing more than just a floating head and invisible body! Listen. Get out. Get away. This won't end well if you stay and try to even make an attempt to protect her."
"Listen...Tabi? Was it? Look man, I love her and she loves me. I suggest you go away and leave us be."
"You...you love her?!" He let out a cackle and shook his head. "Oh, you're such a stupid FOOL! I said to get out! This won't be your battle. It will be mine! It's MY BATTLE! GET. OUT. Of. MY. WAY!" He yelled and lunged at her but Boyfriend was quick to respond and tackled him to the ground and stood up, pulling out his microphone. "You said it's a battle huh?! Then I'll give you what you wanted!"
"I said it was my battle! Not yours! But, I suppose two skulls would be more amusing than one." He pulled out his mic as Girlfriend became more scared knowing that Boyfriend was just getting into trouble. She set the speakers up and started to shake a bit before sitting on top of the main speaker.
The music began to play as Girlfriend hesitantly bopped her head to the beat of the song. With Tabi starting, he pulled out his knife and swung it towards Boyfriend. Boyfriend grabbed a butter knife and did the same thing. Girlfriend became more worried as the two were ready to go at it. Tabi kept going on with his singing and got closer to Boyfriend with his knife. Boyfriend stepped back a couple steps before finishing the song. He was panting out of fear and glanced at Girlfriend before glancing back at Tabi.
"You survived that song, huh? That was easy. This is your Last Chance to get out and let me do my job. You can't even fight can you?! HA! What damage can you even do to me with a simple butter knife?!"
The next song started as Boyfriend didn't even have a chance to say anything back. With Tabi getting angrier and quicker, it became harder for Boyfriend to keep up. He was already giving out within the first couple verses of the song but managed to keep up with the song and the verses, despite the triplet notes and the timing. Tabi, on the other hand, was fed up with all of this so he sang his last verse and glared at Boyfriend.
Boyfriend sang the last verse and panted heavily, looking at him and got his composure together. "What's up now, Tabi?!" He let out a chuckle and laughed softly. "What else you got?! Huh?!"
Tabi looked down and shook his head, laughing softly. He quickly then pulled out a remote and glared at the two and pressed it. "AAAHAHAHAAAA!" The place exploded, screaming of the patrons and workers echoing throughout the place. Miraculously, Boyfriend and Girlfriend survived but became severely injured with broken bones, bleeding, and burn marks. Tabi was cracked all over his skull and hands but remained standing. "So...you two survived the explosion, huh?! Well, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS! I'M KILLING YOU BOTH WHERE YOU STAND! WELCOME TO MY GENOCIDE!" He let out a loud scream and panted heavily.
Boyfriend looked at Girlfriend and carried her in his arm, despite having it being charred and broken. He gripped his microphone and the final song had started. The fire was raging around the two as a couple more small explosions went off around them. Boyfriend started to limp away from him but was cut from the knife that Tabi was holding. Tabi kept approaching them, swinging his knife at them. With Boyfriend carrying Girlfriend and dodging Tabi's knife, he kept singing loudly and grabbed a nearby object and stood up, throwing it at him. With him now standing and fighting back, this battle of music became a battle for life.
Tabi got hit, causing a mess up in the verse and yelled out, his eyes glowing a dark red. :I WILL GET MY REVENGE! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!" The fire raged around him, circling him as Tabi just stared at the two. Boyfriend and Girlfriend also became trapped within the circle of fire. Boyfriend looked over at Girlfriend, still singing and saw that she was quickly starting to lose consciousness. He pushed himself to keep fighting Tabi both physically and musically. With punches and verses exchanged, the song came to an end. With a deep sigh of relief, Boyfriend quickly started to lose his consciousness.
He fell to his knees, still protecting Girlfriend and he looked up at Tabi, his knife ready to kill the two of them. Boyfriend's eyes grew tired and weary.
"I'm….not…" He hacked a lot before coughing up blood. "Giving...up..Fuck...YOU!" He screamed and kept Girlfriend in his arms and shoved Tabi to the floor and cracked his skull more, breaking it and screaming before hearing sirens outside the restaurant. The fire grew quickly and surrounded the two. Boyfriend let out a couple exhales before passing out, surrounded by the fire.
The Firefighters were quick however to gain access to the area and dragged the two out as they both were rushed over to the hospital. Several hours after surgery and stitches, Boyfriend and Girlfriend were teleported home as Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest were taking care of the two. Ever since Boyfriend proved to his lover's family that he can rap and shown to be loyal, he was welcomed into the family.
When the two were teleported home by the parents, the two remained asleep. Pico was also there helping out when he could since Pico also was welcomed into the family after saving Boyfriend and Girlfriend from the Tankmen. Pico gently brushed Boyfriend's hair and sighed softly, becoming worried for him and Girlfriend.
"You think they'll be okay?" Pico said softly.
The Dad nods softly. "Girlfriend for sure will be okay. We're demons after all but Boyfriend? I hope he's okay. Yeah, Girlfriend got surgery and stitches but she'll be knocked out and really sore if anything when she wakes up. I don't know what we can do to help Boyfriend though. We'll figure out something. Don't worry Pico."
"Mhm! They'll be okay…" The Mom said cheerfully. "Just let them recover okay…?" She gently pats him on the head. "Just let them recover…"
Pico nods and exhales softly. "I'll be out on a walk then. Just teleport me here if I'm needed." He loads his guns and walks out. Hopefully the two will be up and alright. Time is all that is needed, right…?
