The Mind Electric (A Chester X Parker fic)

Chapter 4: Help Me

"So your telling me...you MADE A DEAL...WITH AN ACTUAL FUCKING DEMON?!" Parker yells.

"Yeah...but it's not like they've actually DONE anything to me yet." Chester mumbles.

"WHA- WHA- DUDE! YOU WERE LITERALLY JUST THROWING UP BLOOD A MINUTE AGO!"

"But they said that was natural sooo...I'm good?" Chester faintly smiles.

"Chester, I cant believe you!" Parker huffs, letting go of Chester's arm.

"You have NO IDEA what that THING wants to do out here, and you STILL let it loose?!" Parker complains, throwing two hands around his head.

"Narc seems nice, though!"

"WE KILLED ITS MOTHER AND ITS PROBABLY OUT FOR REVENGE YOU IDIOT!"

Uh oh.

"B-But they haven't killed me yet! If they were actually out for blood...wouldn't they still be here?" Chester asks, smirking.

"Dude, that just means it's waiting for the perfect moment to ambush us! What's going to happen when THAT happens?! I can't hurt you, man!" Parker frowns, quickly grabbing ahold of Chester's hand.

"Parker..." Chester slightly frowns, pulling him in for a hug.

"I'm going to be okay...Narc isn't going to hurt me, I promise..."

"But how do you know that?? How do you know that they aren't going to KILL you???" Parker mumbles into Chester's shoulder.

He was right, Chester truly didn't know what was going to happen in the near future.

"Just...trust me on this one, okay?" Chester smiles, backing up a bit to kiss him.

"....Alright..." Parker whispers, slowly falling back into the kiss.

"So...what actually did Narc do when I was away?" Chester asks, crawling back into bed.

"Uh...well, they were surprised when they first saw me, I guess..." Parker mumbles, shutting off the lamp light before getting into bed as well.

"Also, they uh...also said that they weren't interested in me." Parker laughs, covering himself up in blankets.

"Oh? Well...I guess they were just nervous to see you with me." Chester smiles, laying his head down on Parker's chest.

"Honestly, I would be pretty nervous too if I woke up next to a completely random person."

"I'm glad that we're on the same page." Chester laughs, finally closing his eyes once again.

"CHester! I'm sO SO SORRY!!!" Narc cries, jumping up and down nervously.

"It's cool, Narc. Parker doesn't really care about the whole situation now." Chester smiles through his lie.

"Ah, so HISSSS name iS Parker!" Narc confirms, nodding their head rapidly.

"Yeah, you gave him quite the scare, dude." Chester laughs.

"APOLOGIES! I wAs JUUUSSTTT UNCOMFORTABLE!!!"

"Huh? Why?" Chester frowns.

"WELLL YOU SEE...I NEVERRR Really needed A PArtner, sO WHEN I WOKE up next to SOME funky sleeping dude I PANICKED!" Narc laughs, jumping up into the air once before sitting down.

"You...don't need a partner?"

"MHM!" Narc nods, "NOR DO I LIKEEE THATTT LOVING PARTTT! NOWW DON'T get me wrong! I AMMM verY much capable OF LOVE! I JUSTTT DON'T...need IT!" Narc explains, moving their hands around frantically.

"Huh...so Aromantic I assume?" Chester says, watching Narc spring up into the air excitedly.

"DING DING DING!" They point to Chester, smiling widely.

"That's great, dude!" Chester smiles back, relief flowing through him now that he knows that Narc would never try getting to Parker.

"YES! I'm glad you THINKKK SO! My PAREnts never LIKED the idea of me NOt starting a FAMILY!" Narc huffs, bouncing to the ground.

"Aw, I'm sorry to hear that..." Chester frowns.

"DON'T worry about it! HALF OF MYYY FAMILY IS DEADD NOW!" Narc smiles.

"W-What?!"

"WELLL YOU SEEE...GOOP PEOPLE DON'TT LAST VERRYYY LONGGG WITHOUT A BODYYY!" Narc frowns, curling up into a ball.

"So...that's why you wanted...mine?"

Oh, everything suddenly adds up perfectly...Narc just didn't want to die before they could complete their "mission."

"Yes....I'M sorryyyy FOR NOT telling you..." Narc whines, proceeding to roll around on the ground.

"It's fine, Narc...I'm not mad at you or anything." Chester smiles, holding back a laugh from watching them aimlessly roll around.

They were truly something else, that's for sure....

"GOOD! Good! NOWW THENN! WOULDD YOUUU CAREE TO PLAY A GAMEE WITH ME!?" Narc asks, rolling towards Chester's feet.

"Pfff, what kind of game?"

"LETS PLAYYY...TAG!"
