'GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!'
It had been going on for weeks, Chris uncontrollably screaming at the top of his lungs. He was almost dust when I brought the news back to Ricky. Since (Y/n) left, we had relocated to California. I had been sending letters to Devin for him to give to (Y/n) since he was the only one who knew her address. When I told Devin Chris was dying, he immediately told me where to find her. 'She said she wants us to bring him to her...'
'...fine, okay. Alright can you carry him? I'll find a vehicle for us and I'll get Ryan to arrange a place for us to stay. We'll leave now.' Ricky was obviously against the idea of seeing (Y/n) again after what happened but for Chris' sake, he had to deal with it. I followed his orders, pushing past him to my demonic saviour who was physically crumbling to bits. His skin was beginning to flake like a dying rose and I couldn't help but admire how even on the verge of death he still maintained his beauty. I swiftly lifted him into my arms, trying not to think about how heavy he was.
'Wh...what're...' He coughed, tears brimming in his eyes from the pain.
'We're going to see (Y/-'
'N-No! Don-' He was cut off by his own coughing before he continued 'don't...I-I...only bring misfortune t-to her...'
'You don't have a choice, Chris. You need her.'
'...don't...don't let her look at me...'

'...and I'll name you...Skittles. There, Reaper, Skittles, Ariel and Joker.' I recited, eyeing my cat friends. I named the mother Ariel and her kittens Skittles, Joker and Reaper due to their nature. They were all black cats with different coloured collars- Red for Reaper, a rainbow collar for Skittles (hence the name) and orange for Joker. I named their dad Soul.
Knock, knock!
It was them. Without a word, I stood up, not forgetting to give each kitty a little kiss on the head before answering the front door. '(Y/n)...' I was met with Josh holding Chris over his shoulder like a corpse whilst Ricky and Ryan almost hid behind him.
'Just put him on the couch and get out...' I ordered, stepping aside for Josh whilst staring Ricky down like I was about to pounce and dismember him. He gulped whilst Josh happily skipped inside and gently plopped Chris onto the couch.
'Mnn...n-no...no, don't...' I could hear Chris protesting , trying to muster up the strength to cling to Josh's jacket but failing. Josh stepped back out the front door and thanked me politely for agreeing to see him despite what happened.
'We'll be staying with Devin for the time being so if you need anything, come find us.'
'Thank you, bye Josh, bye Ryan.' I spoke, shutting the door.
Meow!
'C-Cat get...o-off...'
'Her name is Reaper...' I mumbled, stepping over to the couch and kneeling beside Chris who was desperately trying to cover his face. Reaper pawed his chest happily, sending a tiny jolt of warmth throughout my body. I slowly reached over and lifted her off of him, noticing how he flinched when my fingers brushed against his plain black shirt. I placed her beside my knee and immediately reached for Chris' hands. 'Why won't you look at me?'
'C-Can't...I-I...Can't hurt you...again...' He was beginning to sob into his own wrists, the overwhelming guilt becoming too much for him. I gently cupped his cheek, my warmth visibly emanating in his skin. Every part of him I touched seemed to return colour to his skin like a drop into water. His whole face went back to normal in seconds but I sadly couldn't see due to his arms. Deciding to take advantage of the lack of strength that was yet to evade his arms, I yanked his wrists away from his face so I could finally see him. The moment I did, colour began to return to his arms but he turned his head away from me so I couldn't see. 'Stop it.'
'My ideal person would never mean it if they told me to stop comforting them.'
'...I don't mean it...' he whimpered into the couch cushions.
'Chris, look at me.' I ordered. He did as I asked, turning over and finally looking at me. 'Apologise.'
'I'm sorry...for everything...I'm sorry for revealing the circus to you, I'm sorry for turning you into a vampire, I'm sorry for letting you get stabbed, I'm sorry for murdering your ex, I'm sorry for almost drowning you in the bath, I'm sorry for walking in on you in the shower, I'm sorry for letting this happen, I'm-'
'Chris, shut up.' He did exactly that, his mouth closing vocals ceasing. '...hold me.' I mumbled, yelling slightly as he dug his fingertips into my hips and yanked me onto his lap so I was straddled onto him. 'Sit up.' He did as I asked, all his strength obviously returning and sat up. 'Kiss me...' I whimpered, leaning forward before Chris froze.
'I...I can't...'
'I-I'll...I-I'll starve myself until you do!' I shouted, raising my hands and gripping the neck of his shirt. 'I don't drink, I won't sleep, I'll sleep with random guys!'
'...I'm sorry...' He let out a deep sigh before slipping me off of him and standing up off the couch. 'I'll...I'll be at Devin's place if you need me...He lives in the brothel across town...'
Devin lives in a brothel?
