JereMike: Puppet

Chapter seven

_Mike's POV_

Finally! 6 am! I nearly fucking died, holy fucking shit. I got up and stretches before walking out the pizzeria with my middle fingers out towards the stage as I open the door. I don't give a fuck anymore and I'm tired of their fucking shit. I walked back to my house and sigh, only to yawn soon.

I need to get some rest because I swear, I have eye bags under my eyes. I open the door and walked in, slightly wobbling from tiredness. I need sleep but I need to check Jeremy first. Walking upstairs and to the guest room, I unlock it and push the door open. He's not there. Fuck.

My eyes widen as I scan the room. The note was untouched and the window was slid open. I ran to the window and look out and around. Where the fuck did he go?

_Jeremy's POV_

I slowly woke up. I felt so much like home yet..it doesn't feel like it. I forcefully sat up. I felt weird. I look down to see that I'm wearing a green sweater. Since when..?

Looking around, I rubbed my eyes to try and adjust my eyes, only to notice that my wrist are rather..tight. Pulling down my sleeve, I saw that my wrists are wrapped in bandages. Who did it..?

"Already awake, little boy?"

I gasp and glance at the door, seeing a tall male with black hair and chocolate brown eyes. He was wearing a simple purple button up shirt and was holding a tray of food?

He sat down beside me and places the tray in front of me. "You might wanna eat up kid, you need to get some weight." I shook my head. "How so?" I just shook my head once again, looking down.

"Alright. But I'll leave this here, just in case." He smile so warmly as he got up, walking out the room. He closes the door behind him, leaving me alone with the food. I look down to see a bowl of pork stew, a piece of toast and a glass of juice.

I glance at the door and back at the food. I picked up the spoon and took a piece of beef. I hope there's no poison in it..I ate it and started tearing up as I chew. It's been so long since I've eaten such food..why does he have to be nice to me..? I continued eating, finally feeling my stomach gets stuffed with real food. Taking a bite on the toast, I took a sip on the orange juice.

Soon I finished, feeling myself smiling once again. I just sat there, waiting for the stranger to return but no footsteps can be heard. I decided to get up, putting the tray aside as I put my feet down on the cold wooden floor. I took steps towards the door, being quiet as ever, and when I reach it, I open it.

Peeking outside, the hallways are empty so I took the chance to sneak down stairs, slowly hearing the man's voice. He seems like talking.

"A boy, you say? What does he look like? Hm..his name's Jeremy? I see, you may come over."

Wait, who's he talking to? Come over? Who? I slowly backed away but tripped instead. Dammit, my clumsiness just goes to me in worst scenarios. The stranger walked to me. Oh no..

"I-I'm sorry..I-I didn't mean to--"

"It's okay, kid. You at least need to know."

"Who's..coming over?"

"Mike."

"N-no! I-I don't want him here! H-he knew and..he..h-he will..--"

I never had the chance to finish my sentence when I was pulled into a hug, patting back.

"It's alright. I knew the feeling."

He's like..a brother. A big brother I never had before..before I knew it, I was crying. From my height to his, I only can reach his chest. It doesn't matter to me. I just keep on crying, crying for someone to really care and knowing I'm not the only one. I felt so..happy.

_Mike's POV_

I arrived, parking on the side of the road just in front of Vincent's house. Fuck walking because his house was fucking past Jeremy's. Surprisingly, it's not even further much away from his. Well fuck it. I got out the car and run towards the door. I heard crying so I slowed down, just standing in front of the door.

"What did truly happened to you back then, Jeremy?"

"I-it's a very long story.."

"I wouldn't mind listening. I can wait."

"Well..I never seen my mom at all..ever since I was born..I-i don't really know.."

"That's alright, kid. I'm an orphan."

"Wait, you were..?"

I quickly cut off the conversation by knocking, hearing the conversation stopped then the door open, revealing Vincent. "Why hello, Mike. Come on in." He stepped on the side of the door, giving me space to walk in. I look around and saw Jeremy sitting down on the stairs.

"Jeremy, you're here!"

"Be careful, Mike. Think what you're doing. He doesn't want to go back to you."

"The hell you're saying?!"

"E-enough..please.."

"Jeremy, I need to talk to you."

"I won't let that happen."

"P-please..just stop!"

Vincent and I stopped, looking at the younger male who was close to tears, trying to hold them back.

"Sorry.."

He got up and walked towards me, his head hung low. "L-Look..I know why you're here..t-to tell me to leave you and Doll alone..t-to probably beat me up..because I hurt Doll..I-I know you care for her..and she's my ex so I know you're not happy with that.." He sobbed, reaching for my hand and he took it, curling my own hand into a fist.

"S-so do it...punch me if you must." He places my fist on his stomach. Okay, what the fuck. This is not what I've come in here for. "P-please! Punch me!"

I glance up at Vincent, who was looking at me with his eyes narrowed, ready to kill me or something if I did something bad. I glance back down at Jeremy who was still crying and trying to make me hit him.

"I-if you want..I'll get myself killed with the animatronics..or even kill myself..j-just to leave you alone..I-I don't want any more pain.." He was crying so hard he fell down on the floor, clenching on his chest as he sobbed, clearly seeing him pain.

"J-just kill me for the sake of it..I-if you really want to be alone with Doll then I'll leave you two alone..I won't show up to you if you want.."

I sighed and kneel down, pulling him into a hug. I patted his back gently as he sobbed on my shoulder.

"I didn't come here to tell you all of that, or beat you up because I won't and never will.

I came here because of you."

((Okay, you so probably noticed that Vincent are 'oh-so-nice' man now but there will be a twist for that. After all, this is a whole new different AU))
