Responses to reviews:

Black Shades of Red: Harry won't likely ever turn into Jeff and it isn't likely Jeff will be in this fic either. Most of the other creepypastas scare the hell outta me so.. for now most of the others outside of Slender will be included. Although Harry might become a creepypasta of his own making but we'll have to see.

ScarletYakuza: Seeing as Slender is right next to me anyway I don't think he'd have to hunt me down XD but thank you soooooo much for your kind words! This is my first lengthy fanfic.

Harry woke up hours later from the light that was shining into the room through the windows. Harry whined and tried to hide under his blanket to get away from the light. He didn't even know the room had windows to let light into the room. Harry sighed sleepily before he slowly sat up. He rubbed at his eyes and froze for a moment. He wasn't wearing his glasses but he could see alright, it wasn't perfect but the world wasn't so bad, not as bad and blurry as it had been before. That confused Harry but he shook his head and looked around for his glasses. He found his glasses on the nightstand, made of the same blackened wood as the rest of the room. He put them on and smiled with happiness. Harry was still here, still alive. Slender Man saved him from his family and now he was staying here, at least Harry hoped he was.

Harry got up and out of the bed. He was nervous to leave the room but he really needed to go to the bathroom. He found two doors and he opened one to find it was a clean bathroom, it looked like his room did but it didn't have any dust. Harry used it as he needed before he looked in the mirror and tried to fix his hair a bit. It was a wild mess and he didn't always like that. Harry wished he had different clothes to wear too. He's worn Dudley's ratty old clothes for a few days now and he wanted to look better so that maybe Slender Man would let him stay here. Monsters had to be better then people, people hated monsters for a reason and right now he hoped that he'd be monstrous enough to allowed to stay here. He knew Slender Man wasn't human so he didn't know if he'd let Harry stay here, and seeing as he was just a kid and human at that he didn't know if he could be anything but a good person. The Durley's hadn't been good people by any means though but at least it gave him a how to not be list. Harry didn't think he needed a lot so he hoped Slender Man wouldn't mind him staying. Really he lived on little due to the Durley's so he could live on the same as he had before.. Slender had already treated him better then the Durley's had ever treated him and he was a murdering monster. Could a monster really be nice? Harry hoped so.

Harry left the bathroom and stared at the door. He didn't know if he was allowed to leave but.. Slender Man saved him so he couldn't be like the Durley's, not that Harry would mind being locked in this room. It was so much better then the dirty old cupboard his 'family' forced him to live in all his life. Harry sighed. He knows it's just a door and Slender Man wouldn't let him get hurt. He wouldn't have killed the Durley's if he didn't want him hurt anymore. Harry bit his lip and opened the door finding a dark hallway that almost had him running back to his bed because of how dark and sinister it seemed. He swallowed nervously before he walked out the door and into the hallway. Harry saw a lot of doors but he didn't touch any of them before he heard giggling nearby and he followed it into what looked like the kitchen.

Currently the same little shadowy angel from before was giggling at Slender Man, and the said being was wearing a white apron over his suit and was.. trying to make pancakes?
Harry stared at Slender Man as he tried to follow the little angel's actions in making a pancake. The little angel was doing it perfectly and not messing up at all as it stood on a stool to cook. Slender Man however wasn't doing well at all, he tried to flip a half cooked pancake and it somehow landed on his nonexistent face. Harry bit his lips and covered his mouth trying not to giggle but some of the giggle slipped out. Slender Man turned and stared at Harry but that just made Harry giggle more as the pancake slid off his face and onto the floor. Slender Man tilted his head down at it on the floor. Just as that happened a few cats appeared and started eating the pancake. Harry blinked in confusion. Where did the cats come from?

A chuckle came from the shadows behind Harry and the boy yet again froze at it. Harry forgot about the Crawler. "Slender, why must you keep so many of those animals. It's hard to even slip through the shadows with them chasing me like one of those lazer pointers." Crawler's many voices hissed in annoyance as they slid over to take one of the finished pancakes after chuckling again at surprising Harry. Slender grabbed the same pancake as Crawler and managed to glare without having eyes. "Oh like that scares us now, we've been with you for centuries and that glare stopped working after the third century." Crawler told Slender Man with an oddly playful tone before they reached out and held a clawed hand to Slender's face, or the lack there of. "Do try a different look meus aeternus amor." Crawler cooed in a sweet voice.

Slender Man continued to stare at Crawler before he released the pancake and turned his head over to Harry as the little angel waved at Harry and made an odd squeaking sound. Harry, having finally gotten over the nearly 20 cats Slender Man had and the pancake deal, walked over to the little angel and smiled. "Mr Crawler, what's the name of the little angel?" He asked and looked at his new dad as he tried and failed again to flip another pancake, that one however hit the ceiling and then landed on the top of Slender's head. Crawler chuckled and they smiled in a way that Harry couldn't tell if he was going to be eaten or murdered. "It's name? It doesn't have one." Crawler said before they ate the pancake it took.

Harry frowned at that. "Everyone should have a name." Harry said before he squeezed in front of Slender to get to the shove and take over making pancakes with the tiny Angel. "I'm calling him Angel then. He looks like a little angel." Crawler looked at Harry and stared with a faint confusion. Slender watched Harry as he made the pancakes much easier then Slender had and with far more skill. "The Durley's made me cook for them all the time. I like cooking, I just like eating some of it too." Harry said answering the question that hung in the air. The little angel leaned against Harry and purred trying to comfort Harry as he looked sad. Harry smiled at the little Angel and moved to pet it's head a bit.

It was more like petting air than anything else but it still made Harry smile. Slender Man reached out and stroked Harry's hair. Harry smiled up at the Slender man when he came to pet his head. Slender moved as the cats started rubbing all over him. Slender walked over to a large black plush chair in the adjoined living room that even someone of his height could relax in and still have space. He sat down and the cats followed him before they climbed up resting all over him. Harry grabbed a plate after the rest of the pancakes were done and made himself a plate of pancakes. Crawler stole more pancakes before shifting into the shadows besides Slender in the fancy looking living room. The Crawler's own child took a pancake before moving into the shadows to sit with Crawler. "Child."

Harry looked over at Crawler. "Yes Mr Crawler?" The creature chuckled at the Mister before they sighed. "Slender plans to take you to get clothes and other items you may need. As soon as you are done eating you will be going." Harry looked surprised at that before he smiled "Thank you.. but does this mean I can stay here?" Harry asked Slender and then looked to Crawler as well after he moved to stand next to Slender. The tall being looked over to Crawler and seemed to have some kind of silent conversation. "..Harry did you honestly think you'd be alive if we didn't plan to have you stay with us. You have a home now and obviously you need things we do not have for your care." The Crawler's many voices said in the gentlest tone Harry had ever heard the monster give. Harry was caught off guard by his words and his bright green eyes teared up. Harry had been trying not to hope and maybe they knew that but hearing that for sure he had a home now was so unexpected to him.

Slender reached out within a blink. He tugged the teary boy into his lap as the cat in that spot moved to make room. Harry blushed a bit. He had never sat in anyone's lap before but it was nice, it is his new dad's lap. Slender held him close and stroked his hair while Harry ate his pancakes trying not to cry in happiness. He stopped for a moment and frowned. "Slender Man why were you trying to make pancakes?" Harry asked curiously. Slender's hand stopped and Crawler chuckled. "He was trying to take care of you by making you food." Crawler picked up their child and the tiny angel purred as it nuzzled Crawler. Harry looked shocked but leaned against Slender's body, it was so hard not to cry but Harry managed it. He wasn't able to finish much of the pancakes he took but he was full and happy and more then ready to get new clothes.

Slender took the now finished plate from Harry and set it down on the blackened wood table. Harry looked up at Slender before he moved and got out of his lap. Slender stood and towered over Harry. Harry wasn't tall to begin with since he looked like he was 8 but Slender was at least 7 feet tall at that very moment. His arms were longer then his knees and to anyone else the mare sight of him could have scared others screaming and running. Yet for Harry it made him feel safe to have someone so tall on his side. Slender Man lifted Harry up by his sides and cradled the boy to his chest just as he had the night before. Within a confusing blink, Harry and Slender were in a park. Harry knew this park too. It was the same nice park Dudley got taken too all the time. Harry only knew because his aunt had to take him along and the other times he had been chased here by Dudley and his friends.

Harry didn't notice, because of Slender's height, the masked man below him. The man chuckled and Harry's attention snapped to the new person. He was an odd looking man, he wore a white hoodie and had a mask. A pure white mask with black covering the eyes and the mask had an odd smile on it. "Hey kid, I'm Masky." Harry tried to hide in Slender's chest but that only made the man chuckle before Slender lowered him to the ground and sat him down. The new and startling man lowered his hood and took the mask off. The man turned out to have long brown hair and a kind smile. "Don't worry kiddo I won't hurt you, I'm here to help you get new clothes with Slender Man." Harry bit his lip before he looked up at Slender and then back to Masky. "H-Hi.. I'm Harry." Harry said looking down quickly as he was trained to by the Durley's to do with any adult.

Masky knelt down and gently grabbed Harry's shoulders, getting Harry's full attention and a slight flinch from him. "Hey there Harry. You can talk to me, no one is gonna hurt you for talking or being around I promise you." Harry looked up and gave a shy smile before nodding. Masky smiled back and ruffled Harry's wild black hair. "Good kid. Now come on let's get you some clothes alright." Harry smiled a bit more and nodded again. Slender followed close to Harry and Masky, never letting go of Harry's hand as Masky led Harry into a small clothing store across from the park. No one seemed to even notice Slender as they walked inside and that made Harry wonder why. Masky led Harry into the boys kid area and had Harry sit down the bench there. "Ok your old family didn't fit you in the right clothes. Those clothes are too big for you. Alright hmm.." Masky said after he checked the size of the clothes Harry wore.

Masky looked around and smiled. "What's your favorite color Harry?" Harry looked up at Masky "I don't have one." Masky looked shocked at that before a look of anger past through his eyes as he looked up at Slender. "Well let's fix that ok kiddo. Every kid needs a favorite color." Masky lifted Harry up into his arms, holding him on his hip like a mother would do with her child, so he could pick from the clothes Slender was holding for them. "Ok we have some cool clothes here. Pick what you like best and we'll go from there Harry." Harry bit at his lip but slowly nodded and started to look through the clothes Slender held.

It was overwhelming but in a good way. Masky was letting him pick his clothes and carrying him like he had seen other kids carried by their parents or older siblings. Harry pulled out a nice looking white hoodie, like Masky's. He looked over Slender for a second before grabbing a black shirt that had the print of a red tie on it. Harry found some black and red pants with lots of pockets and grabbed them too. Masky chuckled before he set Harry down "Ok you like Slendy's colors then we can go with that for now." Masky said and grabbed a few more sets of similar clothes for Harry. Harry looked a little confused and Masky noticed after he saw Harry staring at the pile of clothes that Masky had sat on a bench. "What's wrong Harry? Don't like any of them anymore? We can pick different ones." Harry looked down suddenly and shook his head. Slender reached out and gently lifted Harry's chin.

Harry was crying. Harry never thought he was going to be allowed this many clothes, and Masky still wasn't done. First he got a new home that actually wanted him with a dad that really really wanted to care of him and now Masky was getting all the clothes he could need. It was overwhelming in the best way but Harry couldn't stop crying now. Masky moved closer to Harry and pulled him into a hug. "Hey, hey, everything's fine Harry."

"I don't need this much.." Harry whispered almost too low for Masky to hear. "I only need a pair.. I don't need this much.." Harry didn't know what to do, he wasn't used to being hugged and it just made him cry more. Harry bit his lip remembering how no one liked a loud cry baby like Dudley said. Harry might be a ten year old but this is another gift of true affection from another monster that did care. How could he be expected to handle care and affection as if it wasn't this new amazing gift. Masky rubbed his back and whispered little words to try and help calm Harry down. "You might not need it all but you deserve it all Harry, every kid needs a lot of clothes and stuff, and we want to give you that." Masky whispered as Slender moved and gave his own show of affection.

Slender pulled Harry back from Masky and into his lap. His arms wrapping around Harry holding him to his chest. A single hand in Harry's hair, his long fingers running through his hair. Harry hiccuped but calmed down at everything. Being wrapped up and held so close to his savor and new dad made him calm.

Masky first thought Slender Man just wanted to kill Harry and make him watch when he was summoned out to that park. He hadn't expect Slender to actually care. The Slender Man never did anything to show he had anything but a violent curiosity towards normal people, or sort of normal anyway. Masky was shocked beyond belief to see the monster that created him, hug Harry to him and see the kid calm down right away. It was like Slender was Harry's guardian angel. Harry stopped crying and his tense body went limp the moment Slender held him. It was hard to remember Slender wasn't a monster and not.. and not the opposite of what he was.

Harry smiled at Masky and hugged Slender's arms. "I'm ok now dad." Harry mumbled as his hands rubbed Slender's arms. His arms didn't move for a bit but soon Slender's arms unwrapped and were back at his sides. Masky knew right off the bat without Slender Man telling him Harry had been abused but it still hurt to see such a nice kid so upset over too many clothes. It did throw Masky for a loop to hear the kid call Slender Man dad though. Harry got off Slender's lap and stood. "I'm sorry Masky I'm ok now." He said and smiled a bit brighter. Masky smiled down at the kid "That's ok kiddo don't be sorry. Let's just get you the rest of your stuff." Masky told him and chuckled kindly at him.

Everything went well after that. Masky took Harry around the store getting everything a growing kid would need while letting Harry pick the colors of everything. Slender was basically their shopping cart but he didn't seem to mind, until Masky tried to take a picture of it. At that point Masky was carried upside down for the rest of the empty bathroom aisle. Harry had been surprised to see Slender Man's tentacles but that had only been for a moment before he asked if he could be carried by one later.

They bought all of the new clothes and needed bathroom items, and got Harry changed into his new clothes. Harry now wore, instead of Dudley's old hand me downs, an outfit that looked like a mix of Masky's white outfit and Slender's suit. Harry wore the white hoodie he picked unzipped with the black red tie t shirt on underneath it. Along with the black and red cameo pants and the new black kid sized boots Masky picked for him. Masky and Slender approved of the outfit and then took Harry to an eye doctor to get him better glasses.

Masky told the eye doc that Harry was his little brother and that their parents needed him to take Harry since they were too busy with work. With the excuse out of the way the doctor had Harry sat down and began to check his eyes. "Hmm his eyes looks ok but you do need some better glasses Harry." The doctor said with a kind smile as she went and found a good pair of glasses for him. "Ok kiddo these should give you perfect sight until you're old enough for contacts." She handed a shy and nervous Harry a pair of sliver glasses and Harry put them on. Harry grinned. "Wow everything is so clear!" Masky grinned and patted Harry's back. "Yep, I kept telling mom and dad we needed to get you better glasses sooner." Harry nodded playing along and smiled at Slender who stood over them behind the doc. "Thank you!" He said to Slender but the doctor thought he was speaking to her. "You're welcome Harry." She didn't seem to question why Masky spoke without an English accent while Harry had one.

Harry, Masky and Slender left after Masky paid for the glasses. Harry walked between them. One hand held by Slender and another held by Masky. Harry was happy and he could see and he had new clothes! Nothing could get much better. "Ok kid one last thing you need." Harry looked over at Masky and looked confused. "Harry, ice cream." Harry still looked confused and Masky only rolled his eyes before he led Harry and Slender over an ice cream fender. Harry looked surprised. "I don't-" "Hush Harry you've been a really good kid today you deserve some ice cream. Now Vanilla, chocolate or strawberry?" Masky asked smiling down at Harry. "..Chocolate please." Harry answered and smiled.

Nether Harry or Masky noticed the man watching them as they chatted and licked at their ice cream, but Slender did. Slender Man allowed himself to be seen by the man before a ear beating loud static began all around the man. Slender's head violently snapped towards the man and he stared at the man before he disappeared with a pop no one but Slender himself heard.
