Dead Silence (WhittRuv)

Chapter 3

Whitty stormed off through a corner of the city and to a tall tower. One that was reserved for cars to park in. Ruv walked behind the whole time without a care in the world while onlookers ran away terrified. Especially ones that heard the explosion from thirty minutes ago. Whitty walked up the entire ten floor tower without breaking a sweat and his lit wick lighting the way.

Whitty got onto the rooftop then hopped onto the ledge before sitting down and crossing his arms. Ruv sat down next to him seconds later. Whitty looked over at Ruv with now ballistic eyes. "WHaT Do You WaNT FRoM Me?!?!??" The bomb screeched, hurting Ruv's ears. Ruv was silent for a good minute before responding. "Nothing really."

Whitty became very confused. Ruv must've folllwed him for a reason. "NoTHiNG?" Whitty asked. Ruv shook his head yes. Only made him more confused. Whitty held onto his head and loudly growled. Ruv got a little scared and backed away from Whitty, hoping to not be blown off the edge from ten stories high.

Whitty's head flared up a few times, but he didn't blow up to the russian's surprise. Ruv sighed then put his hand on Whitty's head. Whitty froze in place then looked up at Ruv. "You're gonna hurt yourself." Ruv said. Whitty kept quiet, but slowly loosened his grip on his head.

"I don't know shit about love, but just know that it comes from the most unexpected places." Ruv continued. Whitty looked up at Ruv. Whitty was on the point of tears, so he couldn't really see all that well. His tears were weird shades of pink and black and looked thick like oil. "Where the fuck did you get that advice from? Sounds like fucking nonsense." He asked.

"Dunno. Life I guess." Ruv responded, shrugging his shoulders. "I doubt you've even loved a person like I used to with Carol!" Whitty argued. Ruv's face immediately went blank. While he didn't love Sarv like a girlfriend, he loved her like family. She was important despite all the disagreements they had years ago.

"You're... You're right. I never loved like a boyfriend... Only family." Ruv looked down and put his hand on his heart. It hurt. He was in pain from the thought of Sarv. He desperately wanted to get her out of his head so that he could easily move on. Whitty snapped out of his rage a little and stared at Ruv's pained face. Sure it wasn't too different from his usual blank look, but Ruv's eye said everything.

Whitty sighed then looked away. "S-sorry for everything tonight, Ruv... I'm sorry you had to see me like this so soon." He looked up at the crescent moon, the position of which was close to a run down apartment building in front of them. "I don't know why Carol had to be like that."

"Whitty, that's bullshit and you know it. Tonight's fights started because of you. You spoke up first."

"Hell nah, she lied to me a week ago about where she was and-"

"Shut up. You need to learn that embarassment can sometimes be a tool for a good life lesson."

Whitty paused everything he was saying to take that in. He was starting to blush in embarassment. Kind of a cute sight for Ruv to be honest. Whitty began to ask himself some serious questions before being interrupted by Ruv once more. "C'mon. Let's go home."

"I'm pretty sure the door is still locked. I'll call Hex." Whitty turned around, hopped off the ledge then walked away from Ruv to call his computer friend.

"...Hey Hex! I'm really sorry it's late, but I need a favor. ... I'm not home right now and I don't have a key, so I was wondering if you could lock pick me back into the house? ...Wait what? ...What do you mean 'I'm not allowed to go back for tonight?!' ...Ugh. Yes, it was me who blew up the ferris wheel and hurt Carol, but it was unintentional! I didn't want to hurt her, but she pushed me over the edge! ...But what about Rocky?! I still need to feed him! I forgot to before we left for the amusement park! ... You'll at least watch him right? Only for tonight. I'll be back in the morning to watch over the house while Carol is healing. ...Oh thank you, Hex! That's a huge fucking relief! ...I don't exactly know what time I'll be back. I'm a deep sleeper. ...Maybe around 1PM? I'll be sure to set an alarm and if that doesn't work, Ruv can wake me up. ...Yes he's with me and no, you cannot talk to him. I doubt he's in the mood. ...Okay. See you tomorrow Hex. ...Bye."
