Today was the day and time James would be taken out on a date by a killer, he was nervously picking at thr tie on his shirt scared to let the man in his house whenever he arrived, though it wsdn like he had a choice in the matter. The man knew who his brother and his brothers friends were and wouldn't hesitate to kill either one of them in just a blink of an eye, which made James shutter a bit at the thought of it, yet here he was getting ready for a child killing killer. Or maybe it was just that one killer.. He didn't see anyone else killing children. So maybe it was just that one killer.

James had finished getting ready wearing a white tight shirt that showed off his pecks and fainted abs though not to a point where you could literally see his upper body but enough to show off his physique. Matching well with his jeans and the small amount of silver jewelry he put on

In the middle of his getting ready routine he heard a knock at the front door yelling for the person to come in, wouldn't you know that the mystery person was none other than the man he saw last night still wearing his ridiculous pumpkin mask. Did he seriously need it for their date? Wouldn't he be embarrassed to be seen with that on in public when he wasn't in his killing spree

"Oh.. It's you" James said when his eyes gazed towards the killer for just a second before turning away to focus on getting himself ready again. He did not want to face the man that had threatened to kill his brother last night..

"You know, you should watch your tone with me darling. I still have all the power to kill off your brother right in front of you while your tied up pleading for me to stop" The man replied back walking up behind James and watching as he fixed himself up for their date, his chest being pressed up against his back

James tensed his body when he spoke about his brother reminding him on why he was even going out with this psychopath in the first place. Just imagining being in a committed relationship with this man sent a shiver down his spine. If they really did hit it off but break up after a while would he change his mind on keeping him and his brother alive?

"Sorry, it won't again again" He said in a whisper feeling the others hands wrappi g themselves around his waist, his face scrunched up a bit with disgust. He closed his eyes for a little while opening them up after his little break of relaxing them

"Are you seriously going to be wearing that mask for the entire date?" James asked turning his head to the side in order to face the man behind him

"Hmm, sadly no. Can't hide this handsome face forever" The man replied pulling James closer to his body knowing how uncomfortable he must be feeling right now

The killer chuckled to himself letting go of James' waist giving them a little bit of space between each other watching as James turned around to face him with curiousity, slowly enough he took off his mask and let it fall to the floor revealing his true face

He had emerald green eyes that complimented his jet black hair and sharp jawline, smirking at James that caused him to blush a little as the man continued to stare at the shorter male in front of him. Though James soon snapped out of the trance he was in when the killer had chuckled

"If you take a picture it'll last longer, my darling" The taller male said leaning himself against a wall

James looked over at the lock on the wall and noticed it was almost time for them to start heading out "we should uhmm.. We should go. Don't wanna be late do we?"

James grabbed his keys about to open the door when it suddenly opened itself revealing a tall and beautiful woman that was staring down at James with a soft smile on her face

"Hello! I'm here to babysit Brady" The woman said softly, she was wearing a big fluffy coat that matched her white shirt and skinny blue jeans with her hair in a somewhat clean but messy bun

"Oh right, uhm sorry I forgot you were coming but please comenon in" James moved out of the way to let the woman inside his house closing the door behind her, calling down Brady from his room

Brady yelled out "coming!" as he raced down the stairs looking up at his brother with a small smile before looking confused as he saw two unknown strangers, tensing up his body a bit when he first saw the killer, did he recognize him? No. But he did happen to see the fallen pumpkin mask on the floor

"What's going on.." Brady asked his brother with his gaze returning to James after staring at the mask on the floor, suspicious of the two people that had entered his house so suddenly

"Brady, this is Ms. Natalie. She's going to be babysitting you for a while during my date with uhmmm.. Uhh.-"

"Jacob. Jacob Guinivara" The killer said cutting off James mid sentence

"Date..? Why would you be going on a date after the events that had happened last night? You can't just pretend like that never happened!" Brady yelled out clenching his hands into a fist but instead of looking intimidating he looked a bit.. Adorable.

"Listen I know this is all so sudden but I need to take my mind off of.. That." James sighed knowing his brother was mad at him for trying to move on so suddenly from last night, but could you really blame him? He saw things no one should've seen.

"How long will it be until your back?" His brother asked shifting the look on his face to be quite a nervous one, he was gonna he alone with a complete stranger, who knows what might happen during the hours James would be gone? She could be one of the killers from last night for crying out loud!

"I'll be back at either 8 or 9pm, sharp. It'll only be for about 2-3 hours, I promise" James walked closer to his brother cupping his face with both hands and giving him a reassuring look to help calm him down "if I'm not back by then.. Have Ms. Natalie call me okay?"

Brady played with his shirt giving his brother a small nod in the head receiving a kiss on the forehead by his brother. Their kind moment was soon cut off by the sound of Jacob clearing his throat

"We should get going, now." Jacob reminded James of their date giving him a stern voice with a strong and serious look to go along with it, his patience slowly wearing off as the two brother continued to delay

James got up and turned towards his brother to give him one last smile before walking back to the man stepping on the mask in the process, James bent down and held it in his hands as he stared at it with a blank face soon throwing it in the trash, looking up at Jacob before speaking

"Let's get going then." Earning a small nod from the mysterious killer, both of them walking out of the house together.

When they got to the restaurant James and Jacob followed a waitress to their reserved table, everything looked so fancy for James's taste. Red napkins on the table, wine already there, menus were evenly on each side of the table, the plates were set up straight on each side, and even the utensils were set up on a napkin.

James thanked the waitress and sat on the right side of the table where as Jacob sat at the left side, avoiding his gaze he looked at the menu  pretending to see what he would like to eat, maybe he should look.. Most of these were steak, crab, lobster, and much more expensive foods James wouldn't even dream of eating. He was what you would call.. A picky eater.
