Jackals in the Night:
Chapter III—Follow the White Rabbit
-~-
A/N: I now flip to Nny's POV. Now I suck at Nny's personality as you can already tell so he's going to be drastically OOC. Also, the title for this chapter comes from the song: White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. Mainly, it's a song about drugs, but it makes me think of Nny for some reason. O_o;; That's all! Enjoy, Slave Drivers! XD~
Official Pairing: Nny/Squee
Genre: Shounen ai/Slash, Angst/Dramatic, OOC
Disclaimer: Jhonen Vasquez made this comic and he would probably kick my ass if he found out what I was doing with it. Don't hurt me Vasquez-sama!

Go ask Alice
And things she'll know
When logic and good caution
Have fallen far ahead
And the white rabbit is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the Doorman said…
White Rabbit—Jefferson Airplane

Squee lay collapsed by the other bodies. The red blood had seeped into his hair and Schmee wasn't fairing any better. I blink a few times at the scene before me.
"What got into him?"
Dumbass! This is your fault!
"MY FAULT!? I just saved your ass!"
Oh yes…like that matters much! Look at Todd!
"Todd?" I look between the orderlies and Squee.
Squee, you mentally incompetent shithead!!
"YOU LINT-INVESTED BASTARD!" I pick Schmee up with the urge to tear all the stuffing out of him. "I SHOULD SEE WHAT YOU'RE REALLY MADE OF! BUT I ALREADY KNOW!!"
Loud noises begin coming from the hall. It wouldn't be long before they would check to see what all the screaming is about. I growl as I pick Squee up. I narrow my eyes at the lying teddy bear.
"We'll deal with this LATER!"
Pfft! Assuming there is a later. You think you can get out of here after all the trouble you just caused…you are stupider than I thought you were…
"Don't start with me!"
JUST GET MOVING!

I place Squee onto the bed in his house. Those bastard parents of his moved out soon after he was committed. As I lay him on the bed, Schmee begins babbling about how much trouble I caused to get out of the asylum.
"At least we're out!"
Yes. After you killed half the people that were trying to STOP you!
"Would you rather they caught us?"
No! But…
"THEN SHUT UP!"
Squee groans as our yelling starts to reach new decibels. I quiet down just as this begins. Glaring at the bear, I whisper venomously.
"Look what you did!"
Me?! Oh! Who in this room caused Todd to black out in the first place, asshole.
"Bastard! I should fill you full of dead parts and give you to some senile CAT!"
I'd like to see you try it!!
"You wanna see me try it!? YOU WANNA SEE ME TRY IT!?" I pick him up along with the nearest sharp object I can find. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!"
"…..Schmee…?" A soft voice cuts into our "argument." Squee's eyes slowly open to stare at both me and the lying bastard teddy.
"You're awake now, Squee?" I try to put on a nice front, seeing as I would rather not scare him again.
"Uh-huh. What are you doing with Schmee and that pencil?" Squee sits up a bit, the dust from the bed clinging to him like a second skin. He looks almost like one of those ghosts in those horror films. You know…the really poorly made ghosts.
"Bastard Teddy brought it on himself." I give a nod before I see the terrorized look in Squee's eyes. Sighing, I hand Schmee over to his owner.
Pussy! I knew you wouldn't do anything!
"Schmee! Be nice. He did save you." Squee…is sticking up for me? I've now fallen into the Twilight Zone.
Doesn't matter. He's an insane maniac. He'll just try to cut us both up into little pieces and put us in the garbage…
"Don't start with me bear!" I grumble before calming my homicidal tendencies. I'm not going to hurt the bear…I'm not going to hurt the bear…1…2…3…
"Where are we?"
"Eh…? Don't you recognize this place?" I place my hands on my hips. They are safe there. I think…
"….no…."
It's our home Todd. Those rotten parents of yours must have left. Damn them.
"….they wouldn't have…they would have come get me…"
"Squeegee…"
"THEY WOULD HAVE! They aren't bad people! They don't mean it when they say they hate me…when they say I should get kidnapped…they don't mean it…they didn't mean to commit me…they didn't!" Squee's voice is becoming frantic. He can't deal with the fact his parents hate of him. Poor Squeegee. "Right, Schmee?"
Todd…I…
"Right, Nny? Right? They don't mean it…right…?" Tears are starting to gather into his large orbs.
"Squee…" What can I do? I can't just crush his dreams like that…but I can't lie to him either. I think he already knows the answer to his question…but he wants to hear them from someone else. But if I confirm his fears…does that make me worst than his parents.
Without waiting for my answer, he curls up and starts to cry. Crying out all the bitterness he's felt for the last seven years. Crying out all the hatred he's felt from his parents. The hatred he's felt from his classmates. His teacher. The tears don't subside until late at night. I stood waiting for him to stop…not knowing how to comfort someone like him. I can hardly comfort myself. Schmee has gone insanely quiet and won't say a word to either of us. I normally would be happy about that, but now…I'm starting to miss his idiotic voice.
The new sun starts to come up. With a new dawn…maybe Squeegee can finally be happy.

TBC?
C&C are welcome!
Tosses her sap-stick away. Forgive me for all the sappiness that showed up in this chapter! Like I said…Nny is hard to portray.
