hobo heart x reader. Perhaps we value each other?

A little more explaning

(Warning: this chapter contains topics of self harm and suicidal thoughts.)

"Hold up." Hobo heart gets off the table he was laying on. "This new blood is going to be the one I have to work with?"

"Work with?" My aunt exclaims nearly dropping me before carrying me over and setting me on another table next to the one hobo was on. "You are going to make Molly work with this ASS!? After he tried to KILL HER?" My aunts voice grew louder with anger. "OF ALL THE STUP-!"

My aunt was silenced by a loud static that shot through the air that could only have been produced by Slender man himself. "That is enough child. What I say is final and you know this well. You remember the last time you attempted to argue my word?" My aunt simply nodded while looking at the ground. "Good. Now then, Molly shall have one month to recover while we track her healing process. After that month she is assigned to Hobo Heart to go on training and missions. This will allow me to track her strengths and weaknesses as well as get her accustomed to life here."

"M-may I ask a question?" I raised my hand slightly while looking at Slender man. I don't want to upset him in the slightest as I've read the punishments, he can be harsh.

Slender man turns to me and nods "What is your question child?"

"Do I have to stay here, like, forever? Or will I have to go back to my family?" My aunt stared at me with sad eyes as I asked my question hesitantly. She knew about my mom and dad, and she knew what I hoped for as an answer.

Slender man grew quiet as he thought about my question while studying me carefully. It was a long and agonizing minute before he answered "that can be up to you. You can either chose to stay here or return to your home. Should you choose to stay I will have someone fetch your belongings from your room. But should you choose to leave you-"

"I'll stay!" I said quickly, accidentally interrupting slender man. "I don't care what I have to do, I want to stay here. Please never send me back to them."

Slender man stared in silence at me then looked to my aunt "Have you known about this? This fear of her family?" My aunt nodded slightly and slender man sighed. "Meet me in my office." He then looked to me "Do not worry, Nurse Ann and Dr. Smiley will have you fixed soon." With that he takes my aunt by the shoulder and leads her out.

Hobo heart sits back down on his table. "This shit sucks. I finally find a good heart and I have to fucking give it back. You just had to be special, didn't you." He gave me a glare that would normally scare me but I was so used to it from my parents that it didn't phase me.

"Like I was supposed to know about all this. If anything I was hoping you would kill me." I stared at the room around us. It wasn't the most welcoming infirmary but it was at least clean.

"Wait," hobo heart sounded both surprised and worried. "What do you mean you were hoping I would kill you? Kid are you alright?"

I looked at him with a dead look in my eyes that could make anyone's blood run cold. "I mean I wanted to die." I sigh slightly "I guess since we will be working together I might as well show you." I pulled up my long sleeves to reveal large scars that ran up and down my forearms.

Hobo heart moved closer and stared at them. "Why would you do this? I've never understood why humans would harm themselves."

I went to speak when the door opened. I quickly pulled my sleeves down and look at the door. Nurse Ann and Dr.Smiley walk in with a table of various tools and needles. Hobo heart slowly lays back on his table and I do the same all while watching the two walk around the room setting things up.

Nurse Ann must have noticed my discomfort because she walked over to me and pat my shoulder. "Don't worry, we will have you fixed up in no time." She leaned down and whispered "and we won't use painkillers on hobo heart." She chuckled as she stood up and went to Dr.Smiley.

A few moments later Nurse Ann walks over to me with a gas mask and Dr. Smiley to Hobo Heart with the same. Dr. Smiley looks at nurse Ann then me. "We are going to put you two under now. When you wake up you will have your heart back and hobo will have a different one." With that Nurse Ann gently put the mask on my face and stayed by my side until I fell asleep.

The process took about an hour but to me it felt only like a few minutes. I woke slowly in a dimly lit room, my eyes took a moment to adjust as I looked around. It was a nice room with no decorations just the bed, a dresser and a closet. The walls were white and there was only a single window which let in the setting sun.

As I stared at the colors of pink and orange dance across the walls I didn't notice the figure standing in the corner of my room until they were right next to me. I look up and almost scream at the face I see.
