Troubled pasts (a Horrorlust story)

The task

Daves POV
I stood around looking at my team trying to erase the stains, some of them look back at me."...well...any luck?" I ask.

"No, we tried everything, but nothings worked"

I raised my hands over my face. "Are you FUCKING serious!" I shouted, my voice echoed. "Look we're trying our best with what we got, what do you suggest we do?" I started to pace back and forth while thinking to myself "well we can't move to another property" one of them raised their hand "how about we paint the floor?" "Too expensive" I responded "we can't keep loosing money" "cover it with something"

"Have you seen how big this stain is?!" One of my deputies raised his hand. "Yes tony?"

"Dave 'ang on, I'm gettin' a good friend a' mine on the phone, he sells carpets, rugs n' all that jazz, he can whip up somethin' big enough to cover this mess in no time." I give him an unconvinced look. "C'mon boss it's the only idea we got" I facepalmed myself "ugh fine, I'll think of something in the meantime"

"Perfect, he said that it'll be here in about three days"

"Alright, thanks now get out of here so I can lift this stupid lockdown"

All of my men slowly walk out and chat amongst themselves. Soon, the place became quiet again.

Lusts POV
As I opened my eyes I was blinded by sunlight, after adjusting my eyes I noticed that I wasn't in my bed, and I felt a warm feeling spread throughout my body, I tried to get up but something was pinning me down, I looked down and saw none other that horror fast asleep with his arms wrapped around me, I looked at what I was wearing "he gave me his jacket?" I whispered out loud, it was so fluffy and cozy, I almost didn't want to get up out of fear that I might anger horror. I felt myself slowly going back to sleep until horrors head jolted up.

"Wha-...W-what the-where am I?!" He stood up and defended himself "hey hey it's okay, it's just me" I thought he would've calmed down but he still looked worried "no, what I meant was what am I doing here. I-I'm not supposed to be here" "well let's just get you back to your room" "no you don't understand, that door is always locked during the day, I have to be in there, and if Dave finds me he's gonna kill me" "wait why?" He turns and looks at me as if it was obvious why Dave didn't want him around during the day "dude...look at me...this is bad for business" I kinda felt bad for him, locked away because of his looks but I didn't want to cause an argument "alright I'll help, but how are you gonna get back in?" He answered instantly "well, I can't teleport because last time it nearly killed me" I gasped "then why did you teleport to me if you knew it was gonna hurt?!" I ask with worry in my voice "because you were freaking out! Ugh, look can you just please help me" I didn't really have a choice and I definitely didn't want to talk back to a guy with an axe in his hands.

"Fine, can you just break down the door?" He shook his head "nah, that door is virtually indestructible, I've tried" wow, Dave really must not want him around "I know, there's a fire escape ladder that takes you to the roof, and then above my room there's a compartment I use to get there during the day" "but how are we gonna get there without Dave or the cameras seeing us?" He thought to himself "hmm...I've got an idea, but..." he looked down embarrassed "...I'm gonna need your clothes"

Horrors POV
"Wait what?! Why do you need my clothes?!" "Because if I look like you then he ain't gonna get suspicious" "yeah but what about me?! I can't walk around there all day with my bonezone exposed, plus you literally have a hole in your head" I shrugged my shoulders "I've said my idea, your turn" he pulled his hand down his face while groaning loudly "well...how about I try and smuggle you to the roof" now that did sound like a good idea, "alright, but what are you gonna do?" He was already leaving "don't worry, just stay here" then he was gone.

Third person POV
As lust walked around the corridors, to look for one of the trolleys used to move heavy storage, he saw them all cramped up in a large pile on the loading bay along with some boxes and other objects, as he got closer he saw a sign saying 'don't touch, fragile' "it's only for a few minutes, I'll put it back when I'm done" lust carefully removed one of the trolleys, revealing the dried blood stain on the floor "oh, still not clean" lust made a mental note to do this quickly so people wouldn't panic. Using the lift, he took the trolley and also decided to grab a spare box from a supply closet, he grabbed the biggest one they had and took it back to his room where horror was waiting for him.

"Anything?" Horror asked "Yep" lust responded smugly, he set up the box and after positioning it on the trolley, he motioned horror to climb inside. "You want me...to get in that?" Lust nodded in response, horror slowly walked over to the box, he nudged it before recoiling back "what's wrong?" Lust asked confusingly "I...don't have good memories with those things" horror admitted "oh...well I promise you that this experience will be just fine" lust said reassuringly.

Horror hesitantly walked up to the box and slowly got inside, it was just big enough to cover his whole body, lust cut a few holes in the top so horror could breath and closed up the lid. "Great, I'm in but how are you gonna move me?" Lusts face dropped, he didn't think of that. He grabbed the handles of the trolley and pushed it with all the strength he had, but it barely moved an inch, he pushed his back against it and pushed his feet off the floor but that didn't work, lust could hear horror chuckling inside the box "it's not funny!" Lust whined. Horror stuck his head out of the box and looked at lust, who was a panting mess "yeah well to me this is hilarious" lust pouted and puffed out his cheeks, causing horror to laugh even more.

"Wait-shhh you're gonna get caught" lust whispered as he pushed horrors head back in the box and continued trying to push the trolley. "Hnnnng why is this thing so heavy?!" "Are the breaks on?" Lust looked at the wheels "there are no breaks on this" lust continued to test out different methods of moving the trolley, until Dave saw him. "Liam what are you doing?" Lust jumped and turned round "oh um h-hey Dave...I-I'm just m-moving boxes around heheh..." Dave stared at lust "...tch alright then, but put that trolley back where you found it immediately after" Dave sent a serious glare lusts way, which caused a small shiver to travel down his spine. "O-okay"

Lust continued to push the trolley until he saw the door that led to the fire escape ladder. "Alright we're here, now get out" horror climbed out and looked at lust, who was sweating bullets and a panting mess "heh, tired?" Horror asked smugly "yeah well...um...you're scared of boxes" horror jokingly grumbled in response and walked through the door "Thanks lust, I couldn't have done it without you" horror chuckled to himself but it slowly died down after he saw the look of pure terror on lusts face, "...what" horror knew what he did wrong "you...you...h-how do you know my name?!" horror didn't respond quickly climbed up the ladder while lust ran back to his room.
