His Choice

Chapter 5 - Rest

 It's been about a week since that night and Blueprint has been staying at Raven's house for the time being. Between trying to ignore angry text messages and crying over fictional characters in shows it's been relatively uneventful. That was until today.

"I'm going out to get some food. You want anything, Printy?" Raven asked as he got his jacket on.

Blueprint looked over from his spot on the couch, smiling softly, "Nope, I'm good for now."

Raven smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll see you in a little while, bye!" Raven then shut and locked the door after hearing Blueprint respond. He started down the sidewalk, smiling softly to himself. Him and Blueprint weren't technically dating, especially since Blueprint had said he wasn't ready for a new relationship yet. Still, it was nice having him around and being able to cuddle on the couch with him.

Raven soon got to the store, quickly getting what he needed and a few things he knew Blueprint would like. Right as Raven was headed towards the checkout he ran into Goth.

Goth smiled at Raven, "Hey, Rae! How've you been?" he asked.

Raven shrugged, "I've been pretty good, how about you?" he said, smiling gently.

"Good, have you seen Blueprint lately though? I'm kinda worried," Goth mumbled, fidgeting with his hands.

Raven tilted his head slightly, "He's been staying at my house for a little while. Why are you worried?"

"Well, apparently he and his boyfriend got into a pretty big fight. I've been getting messages from his boyfriend asking me if I know where he is, he's also been saying he might report Blueprint missing," Goth explained.

Raven's eyes widened, "Seriously? Isn't that a little extreme?"

Goth nodded, "A bit, yeah. Blueprint had mentioned something about his boyfriend being pretty overprotective, but this is kinda overkill."

Raven sighed softly, "Do you know where he lives? I'll go see if I can talk to him."

After getting the address from Goth, Raven heads towards it. He quickly drops off the bags at his house before continuing. What was with this guy? Get into a fight with his boyfriend then report him missing? It doesn't even seem like he's even tried to look for Blueprint, or Blueprint would probably be getting more texts from concerned friends and family.

Right?

Raven shook his head, he should keep an open mind, he might just be a person that gets nervous or worried easily, Blueprint is like that so it would make sense if who he was dating was too. What was his name? Was he even ever told? Now he feels kinda bad for not knowing. After what seemed too short of a walk Raven arrived at the address. He took a deep breath before walking up to the front door and knocking on it. It didn't take long for the door to open, a skeleton pretty shorter than himself standing there. "Uh, hi, are you Blueprint's..." he trailed off, not knowing if he should say 'boyfriend' seeing as Blueprint had broken up with him.

The other sort of glared at Raven, "Boyfriend? Yes, I am. Who are you and why are you here?"

"Well, uh.. my brother told me that you're looking for Blueprint and I wanted to let you know that he's staying at my house for the time being. He hasn't said why but he told me that he isn't able to talk to you yet but as soon as he can he will." Raven explained.

The shorter's eyes narrowed even more, making Raven wonder if he could even see, "What's your name?"

Raven paused for a second, "Oh! Uh, I'm Raven, what's your name aga-"

Raven was almost immediately cut off by a fist striking the side of his head. He stumbled back as he grabbed where he had been hit, "What the hell!?"

"You're that jackass that Print was messaging!?" Cayden yelled, trying to get another hit on Raven only for his arm to be grabbed.
