💙This could work out💙 (Eyeless jack x reader)

▪️1▪️

It was a long day at work, I had to close up shop tonight not to mention it was raining cats and dogs and I parked all the way down the street! I locked the door, set the alarm and started speed walking towards my car. My h/c hair was getting drenched and I had a feeling that I would catch a cold. I was almost at my car when my belly grumbled, "aw shit I need to feed the beast" I mumbled quietly to myself. Looking around I saw there was a deli still open, maybe I could grab a quick sandwich or something. When I entered the place it smelled like rotten meat which immediately made me lose my appetite.

The guy that worked there caught sight of me and yelled cheerfully for me to buy something. "Oh no sorry sir! I'm vegetarian" then I turned to leave. My stomach hurt now from hunger, I remember that there was a restaurant on the other side of the deli. I just had to go through a creepy ass alley way, I watched enough horror movies to know this wasn't a good idea but I was just so hungry! I grabbed my keys and put them in between my fingers ready to strike if I was to be jumped. It was dark...the only light that could be seen was at the other side so I turned on my phone's flashlight and started my walk.

I made it halfway when I felt a strong hand wrap around my ankle! I screamed in surprise flashing my light in the person's face. It was a guy! He was hiding behind the dumpster and started hissing and baring his... razor...sharp...teeth?! "W-wha-.." I babbled thoroughly confused. He was wearing a blue mask that was broken at the bottom missing a chunk and black clothing. "TURN OFF THE LIGHT!!!" He growled swiping at me. For some reason I didn't listen, I was terrified! It was fight flight or freeze and I chose freeze. 'Is he even human?!' The strange creature kept pulling me towards him by my ankle.

Thankfully my freeze wore off and I chose fight! I grabbed the top of his hair, pulled up and started to twist. He hissed in pain letting me go. I took this opportunity to run away! I heard no footsteps following me so I assumed I had successfully gotten away. Before I made it out of the alley I heard a voice saying "hungry...so...hungry", I turned back and realized it was the guy who had said that. I sighed suddenly feeling guilty, "was he just hungry?" Me being the person I was I decided to fix that. I went to the restaurant and ordered us some food. I didn't know what he'd like but I got him a steak and for myself I got f/f! Cautiously I re entered the alley surprised to see that the guy was still there.

He was curled in a ball with his body rising and falling heavily, at this point I was starting to rethink my life choices. The strange guy looked up at me backing up against the dumpster. His actions reminded me of a stray dog...he looked so scared? I got closer kneeling down to his level handing him the bag with the steak in it, he snatched it out of my hand so quick. He opened it so urgently and tore into it right away, I slowly sat down across from him within a reasonable distance of course. I decided to keep my phone light off this time since he didn't seem to like it but the lights from the ends of the alley were enough.

The strange guy finished his food licking his fingers afterwards. I had finished my food as well so we just sat in silence, awkward scary silence. He suddenly started coming closer, he was... sniffing me?! I fell backwards onto my butt, "ey bro chill with that!" He said was super close to my face mumbling some weird shit like "still hungry.." I got irritated and shoved him away. I could tell he was surprised! I threw my empty container at his head, he held his head in defense now looking down. He was so pitful! I huffed in frustration looking around then back to him. "Come on I'll feed you" I held out my hand and he hesitated but grabbed my hand.

His hold was gentle but it felt cold and his hands shook in mine. We walked out of the alley when he put his hoody over his head. "So what do you want to eat?" He said nothing then pointed to the deli that made my stomach churn. My face contorted in disgust, " Are you su-" He nodded immediately pulling me towards the awful smelling deli. As we entered, the man looked at my stranger next to me. "Ey! Not you again! Get out!" The man behind the counter yelled while grabbing a broom. The blue masked mystery man gripped my hand tightly. "Hey hey hey calm down!" I defended him by standing in between the two. "What's the problem?!" I asked. The man slammed his hand on the table and started complaining about him eating the raw meat out of his dumpster...where I had found him!

I rubbed the back of my neck and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Well It's all in the past now! Nothing you can do about it! Just let me buy him something to eat and I promise he won't be diving in your dumpster anymore. Right?" I nudged the guy making him nod in agreement. The guy behind the counter grumpily threw the broom in defeat and waited behind the counter to get what the mystery guy wanted. I had very mixed feelings about this guy...He kept pointing at the innards like guts or kidneys. I found it weird but oddly didn't freak me out as much anymore. After I paid we left, I didn't realize this but we were still holding hands. I let go and waved goodbye, "Bye mystery guy! It was very interesting meeting you!"

The masked man looked at me and out loud he said, "My name is Jack..." His voice was deep but you can still tell he sounded pretty weak. I cracked a big smile and went on my way. I felt good about my good deed! Jack... that's a nice name. Pulling up in front of my house I cannon balled right onto my bed. I took off my clothes and put on my favorite PJ's! Then went under the covers to sleep with a smile on my face.
