TIO x reader

Chapter 2

[redacted] 😣😣😣

ANYWAYS ENOUGH OF THAT LETS BEGIN 😱😱😱

———————————————————————————

As I opened my eyes with a yawn, just beginning to wake up after that eventful night. I look to my right, TIO is still beside me asleep with a single one of his arms wrapped around my waist. I re-positioned myself so that I was closer to his chest again. I cuddled into him, trying to fit my arms around him and his ribs. "nhmm." TIO groaned while throwing his other arm around me, pushing me further into his body. "Oh? Are you awake dear?" He asked while tilting his head down to face me. "Yeah lol" I replied as I looked up at him, a tiny amount of blush dusting my face. We sat in a comfortable silence, arms around each other. "Should we get up?" I questioned, "Do you want to get up?" He responded. "I can't decide." I bawled. "Hmmm, of course, let us go." TIO hummed as he flashed a quick smile at me before clicking his fingers and turning back into his regular form, then taking my hand and leading me out of the room.

The castle was dim, there was a small amount of pale violet light leaking through the sparse windows into the hallway where we stood. There weren't many windows in this castle at all. TIO clicked his fingers again and within an instant made the castle light up, the torches on the wall re-lighting themselves, small orange flames bursting out from the now-lit sticks. "Follow." TIO commanded. "Bet." I said, beginning to follow behind the cult leader. We walked down the long hallway slowly, our footsteps echoing throughout the castle. "Soooo where we going?" I asked curiously, looking up at TIO as I spoke. "To get us breakfast, you're hungry right?" He responded calmly while looking back at me and raising a hand. Now he was right, I was hungry, I hadn't eaten since yesterday morning before we went to that lab. We didn't expect it to take so long or to be overrun by infected, nothing went to plan huh. We were supposed to get some sort of papers that had research on them to try and remake a cure that works and doesn't just make the infected more agitated, then get out of that lab. I hope my friends are ok, there were a lot of infected. Kona even came with us because he wanted to see the lab and how far they got with their research, he said if he had time he might be able to log into one of the computers and see if there was any research on there. I'm so worried about them. I shouldn't have ran- "(Y/N)?" TIO said, snapping me out of my thoughts "aH- YEAH?" I panicked. TIO raised an eyebrow at me before looking away and continuing to walk down some stairs, "Can I even eat here??" I asked. "Hm, good question... I've never had anyone here for this long before.." TIO paused. He raised a hand to his chin and stared at the ground, "I guess we will have to find out." he said, beginning to walk again. "Well what if I can't???" I glared.

No response.

"TIO-"

"I'll just get one of my members to bring you some then." He finally responded, cutting me off.

"Ok.." I sighed in defeat. I need to get out of here, I need to make sure Kona and Robby are alright. As much as I've somehow grown to like TIO just by spending a night here, I still need to make sure they are ok and who knows TIO could just be tricking me. I can't trust him.

We arrive in front of the dining room door and step into the giant room. The room was a large rectangle and was plastered with an orange hue, like everywhere else in the castle. There was a long narrow table in the centre of a room that had around sixteen seats all neatly tucked into the table. The table had two small fruit bowls at each end of them. Two chandeliers were hanging above the table with bright torches being held up by them, they made the whole room light up with a nice warm glow. There were no windows in this room, only four doors, one opposite where we entered and two doors to the left of us. Everything was decorated well and the walls were also heavily detailed; they looked similar to the walls in the hallway but not exactly the same. Quite a large place that could fit a lot of people, ironic that he's the only one here and was left alone.
