Paranoia || Ego-bang Fanfiction

"Wake up, shitface." A burly voice, demanded.

"Leave me alone...please..." Arin's voice croaked, his voice useless after screaming for so long.

"I said, Wake up!" The man shouts, pushing Arin off the bed.

Arin fell to the floor with a hard thud. The pain was numbed after his body took so much damage within the last 6 hours. Holding back tears, Arin stands up, refusing to look at the man in the eye.

"Now, what do you say." The man says, voice firm, scary but came across soft in order to get Arin to talk.

"I'm sorry..." Arin says, his voice a harsh whisper.

"Good, boy. Now, I'll be back in 30 minutes. I decided to go to some measures and fix up the windows, and the phone lines...OH! I also, made sure the door only locks from the outside! So, make yourself at home!" The man says, overly excited.

Arin bites the insides of his cheeks in order to keep from crying. He nods and watch as the man turn his back and walk out the door. He looks back at Arin and flashes a wicked smile. The door closed behind him. Arin begins to sob, falling back onto the bed with his face in his hands. The sobs grow louder until he's screaming for someone to help him again. *****

"Arin! Arin, baby, please wake up!" A voice calls.

Arin forces himself to wake, when hearing the voice. He looks around to see where he's at, and his eyes meet Dan's. Arin had no clue what was happening and felt a drying sensation on his face. Dan wipes his face, then concluding that he had been crying. 

"I'm sorry, Dan." Arin's voice was hoarse, as if he was screaming.

"Don't be. It's okay. No one's gonna hurt you. Not when I'm around. Now, I don't know what's up, but I don't want you to be scared. I'm here." Dan says, pulling Arin into his arms.

Arin had started crying again in Dan's arms, pulling himself closer to the comfort of his arms. Arin had kept a secret from everyone in his life, and refused to open up about it – even to his therapist. This had been the root of his depression and anxiety. It still haunts him to this very day and Arin will not confront his past. He sits in Dan's arms, lost in thought.

"My baby boy...My big cat...Everything will be okay. I promise you that no matter what situations we are in, I'll always be by your side to protect you." Dan whispers.
