Yey Horror Houses! Gotta love a little fright now and then
Haruka wasn't the one to frighten easy, Makoto was always the scared one between the two, the one to hid behind the others back huddling in fear, eyes closed in terror waiting for it to end. Haru however as it turned out wasn't a fan of horror houses, people jumping out at you in the dark and the spooky noises was something Haruka hated. Now he was currently standing in front of one with his friends at Samezuka Academy. The private school had invited the surrounding neighbourhoods to the Samezuka Halloween Special. Among the many well-decorated stands, there were eyeball candies, bloody drinks, eight-legged foods, chatty skeletons and creepy witches predicting the future. Rin had insisted on the Iwatobi boys presence and dragged them straight to the haunted house. Haru was staring up at the bloody crooked sign and shivered unintentionally. He could sense Makoto shaking in his boots and let a small amused smile creep onto his features and the fear that he felt temporarily disappeared.
"Alright, who's up first?" Rin asked, grinning evilly at the boys, knowing full well what awaited them inside.
"I will!" Nagisa piped up, bounding over grinning from ear to ear, excited to experience his first haunted house.
"Well since this house is super scary you will have a guide." Rin explained, glancing over his shoulder "Yo, Nitori."
The short grey haired breaststroke swimmer shuffled over, a slight terror residing his face. It was clear Nitori didn't want to do this and reluctantly entered the house with Nagisa lugging on his arm in excitement.
"Haru, you up next?" Rin rose a brow, smirking as Haru took a quick peek towards the scorched door.
"Sure."
"Sou, come on you're up."
Sousuke appeared, his face unimpressed with the situation giving Rin a grumpy glance before walking towards the door not bothering to wait for Haru. The ravenette sighed, marched rather quickly to catch up with the ill-tempered butterfly swimmer not wanting to be alone.
Haruka was staring at Sousuke's broad back not daring to glance around to see blood dripping down the walls or body parts hanging from the ceiling. Sousuke's back seemed to keep Haru calm and relaxed, almost forgetting where he was when a strange scratching sound followed by an aching groan had Haruka involuntarily moving closer to the butterfly swimmer. Sousuke turned the corner and as Haru turned taking his eyes from the teal-eyed man back a boy jumped out, his face mangled and horrifying, screamed at the freestyle swimmer. Haru's body stiffened as his face paled and his ocean blue eyes widened in shock. He couldn't help but emit a small yelp. When the boy retreated behind the wall and Haru had calmed himself down he glanced to Sousuke who was smirking in amusement.
"Shut up." Haruka snapped, pushing past the swimmer and disappearing around the corner. Sousuke watched the boy depart and stood for a moment running a hand through his hair before he began to catch up with the angry swimmer knowing if he lost the ravenette Rin would have his head. In an instant, Sousuke heard a horrified scream and was almost knocked off his feet as a blur of raven barreled into him. Haruka grasped the man's shirt tightly his knuckles turning white with tension. His head was nuzzling the man's chest, attempting to shake the image he just witnessed. His eyes were clamped shut not courageous enough to open them, wishing he was anywhere but here.
"Hey Haru, it's okay, come on."
Sousuke was at a lost, he didn't comfort people, it wasn't in his nature. He hadn't expected the boy to be frightened, he anticipated this to be a bland experience. Who knew the non-emotional teen was, at last, exposing his inner feelings. But then again being scared half to death would do that to someone. Sousuke couldn't help but let a caring smile grace his features and waited for Haruka to timidly glance up to make sure he hadn't run into another freak show. Haru was reluctant to remove himself from Sousuke's light grasp but let one arm slip from his shirt.
"Sorry, she came out of nowhere."
"It's okay." Sousuke let out a huff chuckle, "Let's keep going."
Haruka pouted slightly hesitant at first before nodding and followed the teal-eyed man, clutching his shirt securely as he let Sousuke guide him down the hall. After several more corners and corridors the two entered a dark room, a small flittering light had Haruka almost plastering himself against Sousuke's back. Suddenly the room went black and a few moments later they flipped back on and standing rather intimately close to Sousuke was a girl, covered in blood, her body racked with gashes and horrifying contacts that had Sousuke swearing out loud and squeezing Haru's hand inadvertently hard.
"Oh shit."
The light went off leaving the boys in darkness before fluttering back on with the woman gone. Sousuke let out a breath he had been holding and still hadn't let go of Haru's hand. He heard a small snicker behind him and peeked over his shoulder to see Haru smiling humorously at him.
"You don't get to laugh."
Haruka pursed his lips and watched as Sousuke's face contorted from anger to amusement and the pair of them shared a neutral smile.
"Not so tough, huh?"
"Let's keep that between us." Sousuke furrowed his brow in fake anger, causing a motion of Haru zipping his mouth.
"My lips are sealed,"
"As are mine, you have quite a scream in you."
Haruka with hands on hips rolled his eyes and pushed past the teal-eyed teen, walking to the door and glanced back.
"You coming? I'd rather not do this alone."
"Oh, fuck me!" Sousuke exclaimed as several ghoul looking beings dangled in front of them unexpectedly causing Haruka to leap into the butterfly swimmer with a shriek. "This is getting ridiculous now you guys."
"Just keep moving so we can get out of here." Haru rushed pushing Sousuke forward. The two swimmers entered yet another room, noticing a body strapped onto a hospital like bed writhing against the bonds that held him down. Haru peeked from behind Sousuke as a woman dressed in a blood-soaked coat waltzed into the room, chainsaw in hand walking with purpose to the bound man. She closed off the man from the two observers with shower curtains and Sousuke and Haru watched as she turned the chainsaw on and continued to hack away at the man's body. The screams had Haru's body hairs standing on end and his head found the crook of Sousuke's neck, burying his nose into the tufts of Sousuke's hair line. Haruka felt Sousuke drag him away, away from the horrifying screams and the sounds of a grinding chainsaw.
"You can open your eyes now."
Haruka slowly and cautiously opened them and sighed in relief, at the end of the corridor was the end, the light. Haru began to walk, leaving Sousuke to stray behind, concentrating on the brightness ahead. Suddenly a horrifying face appeared right in front of him and Haruka cried out in terror, instantly whirling around, running to his haven that was Sousuke. He pounced onto the surprised teal eyed male and refused to let go, his grip tightening as Sousuke sighed, tugging lightly on Haru's arms.
"Hey, he's gone, you can let go."
Haruka shook his head furiously, there was no way he was going to trust these people again, giving him false hope that it was over only to scare him half to death. Sousuke gathered the boy's body in his arms to help both him and Haru balance properly before he strolled toward the end. Thankfully nothing else jumped out at them and Sousuke let the ravenette down, letting him compose himself before they exited. When their eyes adjusted to the light and the two finally unlatched themselves from one another, Sousuke felt his heart and stomach lighten from the horrors they just witnessed.
"Thank god that's over." Sousuke glanced to Haru who had spoken and couldn't help but smile as the freestyle swimmer held a hand to his heart and the other running through his hair. "Don't ever let me do that again."
"Right back at ya." The two boys stood rather awkwardly near each other. Despite just spending roughly an hour clutching at one another in fright the two teens had recently just made amends. The two hadn't really spoken since they called each other by their first names a few months ago. Sousuke having finally apologised and declared how stupid he was had grown substantial feelings for the ravenette. Feelings he didn't quite understand until today. "So wanna go grab a fried spider fright?"
"Sure." Haru accepted, walking by Sousuke's side down the hall. Haruka felt a warmth engulf his hand and glimpsed down to see Sousuke's fingers intertwined with his own. A flush of embarrassment coloured Haru's face smiling inwardly in satisfaction before realising where they were headed. "They're not real spiders right?"
"They're more noodley than hairy." Sousuke snorted grinning in amusement at Haru's stupid question and lightly swung their hands between them. Sousuke's grin grew significantly wider as Haruka grasped his arm intimately leaning his head against the man's shoulder as they walked.
"Shame, I've never had spider before."
