Asylum Love (Slashers x y/n)

Jealousy

Hannibal stroked her hair gently as she slept, thinking over his feelings. Part of him knew a relationship could never truly work, yet another part wanted nothing more than to cherish this kind soul. 

As the others began discussing what to do, Hannibal spoke quietly. "We must respect (Name)'s compassion, though remaining cautiously optimistic. Bonds form in strange ways."

Freddy scoffed. "Easy for you to say. Bet you'd like keeping her all to yourself."

Norman shot Freddy a glare. "We should focus on making (Name) feel safe and cared for and let things progress naturally."

Michael simply nodded in agreement. This tentative bond was unfamiliar yet not unwelcome. 

Soon (Name) stirred, blinking awake. Her cheeks flushed as she realized where she lay. "Sorry, I must have dozed off. Thank you for letting me rest." She gave Hannibal a small smile.

Heart warming at the gesture, Hannibal replied gently, "You are welcome here anytime. Now, shall we continue the movie marathon?" 

The others voiced agreement, tensions eased for now. Working together to support (Name)'s kindness, there may yet be hope for understanding between them all.

They settled in to continue the movie marathon. Freddy still grumbled about having to watch more films before his turn, but the others ignored him. 

As the next movie started, Norman suggested making some popcorn. "I'll help!" Said (Name), happy to be helpful. As they headed to the kitchen, Freddy snorted. 

"Alone together already? Move fast don't you Normie?" But Hannibal silenced Freddy with a stern look. 

In the kitchen, Norman fumbled with the popcorn bag nervously. "Th-thank you again, for being so nice to us. It means a lot."

(Name) smiled. "You all deserve kindness. I'm glad we can be friends." 

Norman smiled bashfully. Once the popcorn was ready, they returned to rejoin the group. But Freddy wasn't done causing trouble. 

"Looks like you're getting cozy with everyone but me sweetheart. I'm hurt." He smirked. 

(Name) rolled her eyes. "Don't call me that. I treat you all the same."

"Do you now?" Freddy grinned mischievously. Before anyone could stop him, he pulled (Name) into his lap. She sputtered in protest but froze when she saw his clawed glove tracing her chin. 

Michael coldly stared at Freddy as he held (Name). Hannibal spoke "Freddy let (Name) go", his eyes narrowed at the dream demon. 

Chuckling, Freddy released (Name). "Just having some fun. Lighten up guys!" 

Shaken, (Name) hurried back to her spot, leaning into Norman comfortingly. It seemed Freddy was still finding ways to stir up trouble during their movie sleepover. The question remained - how long could the peace last?

As the movie played on, (Name) tried to relax and focus on the film. But she caught Freddy shooting her mischievous glances from the corner of her eye. 

Hannibal noticed her unease. "Would you like to shift seats, where you feel more comfortable?" he asked gently. 

Grateful, (Name) nodded and moved to sit between Hannibal and Norman. Freddy huffed in annoyance but said nothing more. 

The calming presence of her patients helped (Name) steady her nerves. She studied each of their faces - so different, yet each harboring hidden depths beyond their monstrous exteriors. 

When the movie ended, Hannibal spoke. "This gathering has been...pleasant. Perhaps we could do it again, if our company agrees."

"I think it's been nice too," said Norman shyly. The others murmured assent, except Freddy who remained sulky.

(Name) smiled. "I'd like that. There's goodness in all of you, if you give each other a chance."

Hannibal took her hand. "Your compassion inspires growth, where before there was only hostility. You have a gift."

Her kind heart seemed to be bridging divides between monsters once sworn as enemies. In this chamber of horrors, a tale of unlikely friendship was just beginning.

A/N I've been trying out this new way of writing, kinda inspired by all these thoughts flooding my brain lately. It's like, I can't really tell if it's totally different, but man, I've been up for what feels like forever! I swear, it's been like two or three days since I got a good night's sleep. But you know what? Even in this tired haze, I got hit with this awesome idea, and I just gotta write it down.
