My lamb, come to your shepard. (male!y/n x alternate Gabriel)

7. FALSE HOPE.

When Y/N awoke, he didn't view the sun peeking out from his blinds like he oh-so-hoped to see. Instead, he was greeted by the blinding yellow light coming from the old lamp, and the quick pitter-pat of Rapheals footsteps.

God, his back ached so bad.

He very slowly sat up and winced when his back cracked, fortunately, the pain slightly subdued, rubbing it and giving out a tired yawn- he realized he didn't have his hoodie on, it was discarded on the other side of the mattress, he must've took it off in the middle of the night. Rapheal looked back at him, shocked to see he was awake and shakes his head to snap himself out of his shock. "Good morning star-shine!" He snickers, Y/N glares daggers at him "Shut up, fuckass." He spits, Raph rolls his eyes and looks off to the side. "Yeah, I didn't expect you to be any nicer." He grumbles, Y/N would stand up and push him if his own back didn't hurt.

"I hope you remember that you, uh, have being fucking stalking me?! I really couldn't give two fucks if your precious feelings have been hurt." Y/N yells, this damn guy is making his life much worse at the moment.

Rapheal was about to reply when he stopped, and his eyes grew in confusion, he took a step towards Y/N and his own narrowed at Raph, "What the fuck are you doing?..." He says cautiously, Raph looks at Y/N with concern, "There's...something on your back." Y/N raises a brow at this- "Dried blood,maybe?" "No...No its like BLACK." Rapheal answers, Y/N turns around so he could see better, hoping the fucker wasn't trying anything, and Rapheal reaches out to touch a black stain on the back of Y/N's shirt, but retracts his hand and fumbles with them- "Hum...With your consent...Could you take off your clothes just so I can see whats going on?..." Y/N grumbles something rude and then takes it off, he could hear Rapheal gasp behind him.

"W-What?- What the fuck is wrong?" Y/N panics, Rapheal gags as a response and touches Y/N's back "there's a....oh god....A giant hole in your back leaking out blood, black goo...And fat...." Y/N screams and immediately swings his hand to his back to feel whatever was described, and much to his dismay and horror, Rapheal was right, a thick glob of fat, mixed with blood and oily black goo was what he saw when he retracted his hand, Y/N covered his mouth with the other, what the fuck is that.

Rapheal stammers in disbelief, "How are you not feeling that?! You look fucking fine!" Y/N shakes his head in disbelief "I-I don't fucking know?! I feel normal, this shit isn't hurting somehow?!"

Rapheal hits the top of his head with his wrist a couple of times to calm himself down and helps Y/N put back on his shirt, "Listen-" he starts "I don't know how the FUCK you got that, but its 100% from Gabriel, lets put that off for now as best we can, kay?" Y/N, despite himself, agrees that this would be the best course of action, they would just have to get back to it later.

Raph perks up, "how about we get something to eat and check out your old house? Maybe we can find stuff there?" Y/N nods his head, but shudders a bit at the 'going back to his house' part, he really hoped he would never have had to go back there again. "Wait, how do you have any money?" Y/N questions, Rapheal puts his head behind his head "Well....I may have been a pickpocketer for awhile...." Y/n looked at him deadpanned, to be honest, he didn't know what he expected.

Y/N threw back on his hoodie and Rapheal led them out of the manhole and outside, the crisp morning sunlight burning his eyes, and he brings his arm up to shield them from the light, though, it did feel great on his skin; Taking a large breath of the refreshing air, he turns to Rapheal- "So, where are we gonna eat?" Raph smiles at Y/N and gives a quick finger gun to him, "There's a quaint lil' diner right by here run by a sweet old lady, come on!"

Rapheal grabs Y/N's hand and starts running towards wherever the diner was- "What did I say about touching me?!" He yells, Rapheal glances back at him "To not do so! But I figured it would be faster this way!" Y/N fumes, "I fucking hate you, you know!" Rapheal smiles at him, "Your my best friend, too!"
