Hooded with a Mask: Coming back (maskyxhoody)

Chapter 1

Masky

"Dude, you just cheated. Come on....HEY!!" While playing a video game in the large living room, Ben rammed his shoulder into mine, trying to force my car off the track. He laughed and got ahead with his custom red car. "I'm not cheating, I just have different ways of playing." Since everyone else was out on missions, Ben was the only one I could hang out with, and trust me when I say this, if there was anyone else here, I would've went to them. It's not because I don't like Ben, its just, he gets very competitive when it comes to anything that has someone going against another.

Ben shouted as he crossed the finish line and threw his controller on the floor. "In yo face Masky." "You only won because you cheated." I muttered. "I wasn't cheating, god, you just can't beat me." I was about to protest, but the door opened and in came a very happy looking Jeff and a very annoyed looking Hoody, both covered in red blood. Mostly Jeff, who had red blood smeared all over his face.

Hoody wasn't aloud to go out to the human plane by himself for awhile because of what happened a month ago. Some of Zelgo and Max's follwers might still be looking for him. I offered to go with Hoody, but Slendy thinks we're spending to much time together. I tried to reason with Slendy and tell him that's what dating is, but he didn't want to have anything to do with it.

Hoody walked over to me and put his hands around my neck from behind. "What are you guys playin?" "Ferrari Challenge, Ben over here says bumping into your opponent isn't cheating." Ben walked over to Jeff and started talking with him.

They don't make their relationship known, unlike us. Jeff and Ben like to keep their romantic feelings hidden. Jeff laughed at whatever Ben said and smirked at me. Ben must've told him I lost to him again and left out the cheating part.

Hoody shrugged and started kissing my neck. "It's not necessarily cheating. I do it sometimes." "TOLD YOU!" I glared at Ben, making him shut up. Hoody brought my face back to his and started kissing me. It heated up pretty quickly and probably would have gotten intense if the door hadn't opened and slammed shut, causing us to jump apart. "I'm telling you, the blue house looked pretty rich. There were probably lots of people there." I recognized that voice as Ticci Toby's.

He was new and came from Slendy's brothers mansion. He didn't seem to fit in that well and was moved here so he would have better training. I heard a lot about Splendorman, and that's enough information for me to feel sorry for Toby. "The blue house is probably nearly empty, like the last three houses you picked." Jack's voice broke through my thoughts and I saw them walking together with Nina on the other side of Jack, holding his hand. She looked about ready to take both of their faces off.

It wasn't that Toby and Jack were fighting, they were actually really great friends and room mates, it was just that they disagree on just about every topic. "Enough, I'm going to bed." "But Nina..." Jack chased after his irritated girlfriend while Toby went to the kitchen. "Walk with me." I focused on Hoody again and nodded. We headed outside and I took his hand.

At first I never let Hoody go outside, I was afraid Zelgo would be back and take him away again. Hoody says he's fine, but I know he's feeling the effects of the past events too. Hoody never sleeps in his bed anymore, and always hugs me close to him when he's sleeping in mine, not that I'm complaining, it's that Hoody is very independent and he never seemed to depend on anyone being there, and now he's starting to depend on me.  That isn't like Hoody and to top it all off, he mutters in his sleep and once in a while would wake up with blood shot eyes,  and start shaking. I wanted to talk to him about it, but he says he's fine.

"How was the upper world." Hoody flinched, probably at the memory, and shook his head. "It was fun, Jeff went crazy, but other than that, I had a great time. It's been so long that I almost forgot how great it felt to kill something." I smiled down at him and he smiled back. "I wish I was there." Hoody laughed and brought down my face so he could kiss me.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and brought him closer to me. I licked his bottom lip and pulled back. "L-lets go b-back inside." Hoody pushed me away playfully and walked ahead. "When I said lets walk, I really did mean 'lets walk'." I ran to catch up with him and realized we were getting deeper into the woods. I had a feeling that we should start heading back to the mansion. "Hoody, lets turn around." He was about to say something, but he nodded. He obviously felt the feeling as well.

He sighed and looked behind us. "Will I ever feel safe enough to continue to go on?" I tried to process that and see if there was a hidden meaning, but the question was plain and simple. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "One day." He only nodded and looked like he was deep in thought.  Hoody had to get over this fear. I could tell it was starting to tear him up from the inside and working it's way up. First dependence, then the dreams. If Hoody doesn't talk to me and get all of It out, something bad might happen and he might start thinking about things he shouldn't be thinking.

I glanced down at Hoody and saw his eyes had a distant look to it.

What was he thinking about?

Hoody must've sensed me looking at him and looked up at me with a questioning gaze. I only smiled at him and brought him closer.
