Escape The Night (Joey Graceffa x Male!OC)

Mannequins

Joey's POV

We're all sitting around the table in silence, thinking about the events that occurred in the last hour.
Justine's screams are echoing through my head and it's driving me insane. How many more are going to have to die? At least two if it's a sacrifice per artefact.

Leo is laid on the sofa in the corner, recovering from the weird, poisonous possession; he's looking much more like himself now and Arthur reckons he'll wake up soon - I hope so anyway.

Matt breaks the silence. "Guys, I mean, we've just killed Justine." Wow, thanks for reminding us Matt, I hadn't noticed.
"We buried her alive-"
"We buried Justine, but you were acting like you were just so sad and I just don't believe that you were really so sad!"
"What?!" What the fuck Glozelle?
"-I didn't buy the act AT ALL Joey."
I'm in disbelief at her accusation, "You didn't buy my act?-"
"No, not at all! You were, 'aw you know, this is my friend'-"
"She was my FRIEND-"
"I don't believe that. I don't believe it AT ALL!"

I can't believe Glozelle would say something like that, it's like she has it out for me! She's trying to twist the fact that I was torn up about Justine, my friend, and turn it into me being a manipulative liar! She just keeps blindly pointing fingers at this point and it's pissing me off.
"What is wrong with you-"
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
"Y'know we can argue about this as much as possible and accuse everyone but-"
"-NO I'm just accusing HIM, JOEY!"
I'm so tired of this shit right now.
"Why are you accusing me?!"
"No words from you Joey, I don't want to hear anything from you!"
Oh my G-

"Hear anything from who?"

My breath hitches hearing a new voice. A very familiar voice.

"LEO!"
"Oh my god you're awake!"
"Are you okay?"
"You looked like shit bro."
"We love an undead YouTuber."

In the midst of everyone's comments I rush over and pull him into a tight hug. "You have no idea how much I missed you Leo."
And I hear his muffled voice in my shoulder reply, "I missed you too Joey..."
My heart soars.
"...although could you maybe loosen the hug a little? I'm still pretty sore."
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"
I quickly let go and check him over to make sure I didn't crush any vital organs or anything with my super-hug.
I take his hands and look him in the eyes, "You worried me sick Lee! Don't ever do that again do you hear me?"
He looks away sheepishly but nods, and I hug him gently to my side.
"It's not like I knew what would happen anyway... by the way, what did happen to me?"

I explain that him acting as the voice for the spirit was somehow detrimental to his body, and basically ended up almost poisoning him to death.
"But you're here now and that's what matters, okay?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Good." I lean down and kiss his cheek, seeing him blush softly. I look back up at the others to the them staring at us with smirks on their faces, I can see Lele giving me the suggestive wiggly eyebrows. I groan realising they saw all of that.

"Hey Joey, where's Justine?"

Leo's POV

It feels great to be able to feel again.
Although, I'm still aching quite a lot, and I think I have a bump on my head that's not really helping, but seeing everyone's faces is a welcome sight after what I could only describe as... a void.

I could feel everything the possession was doing to me, all the pain and agony. It felt like being dissolved with acid from the inside out. It was like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from...a darkness I could never escape... I was terrified. I couldn't scream for help... whenever I tried, I'd just feel sick.
I never thought I'd say I'm happy to be back in this evil house, but here we are - and I am.
