Jerome: A Merome Story V2

Preston's pov

"Hey help me clean this table before everyone shows up" I pout Rob walked over helping "relax cowboy" he mumbles kissing my cheek I pout "Robbie this is the first time in forever that we can just sit and relax" I say with a sigh he hugged me from behind "I know" he sadly mumbled I turn and look at him "you're doing a great job my little flower king" I mumbled kissing his cheek.

We quickly got the table set as everyone started to show up "smells good" Ian mumbled helping Seto sit "obviously Rob didn't cook" Jerome teased making Rob whine "one time and  you won't let it go" he says making me chuckle I look at Mitch who leaned into Jerome weakly smiling.

"At least we don't have to worry about dying" Jason says showing up with Tyler both of them sitting down "says the one who blew up a pancake!" Rob said back "oh yeah!" Ian said laughing Jason looked away "I told you I did that on purpose" he mumbled sitting down.

"what about Jerome?" Rob huffed "I don't cook because I know better" he says "that's not true my love your cooking is amazing" Mitch quietly said I smirk "is that so Jerome?" I ask crossing my arms Jerome looked at Mitch then me "it's not he's just being nice- it's not" he stopped completely and looked away.

"Jerome Aceti you watched me suffer so many years and you never helped?!" I pout "ohhh that's shady" Rob mumbled Jerome sighing "Sorry I just figured you wanted to do it on your own" He says I sigh and glared at him "is that so?" I ask he chuckled "I promise I'll help" he says I sigh and laugh "you better" I say getting as we started to eat.

"So why did you make us this amazing meal?" Jason asked I smile "we need something normal right?" I ask Jerome nodding "absolutely!" He says I chuckle "plus I have something to say " I sigh and smile "I'm pregnant" I say everyone gasping "ohhh Rob you've been a bad boy!" Jason said I looked at Rob who looked at me "wait really?" He asked I nodded "really" I mumbled he picked me up hugging me tightly his forehead on mine.

I hugged back chuckling "oh so Rob didn't know" I hear Ian say I sigh "No, the only one who knew was Tyler but that's only because I thought I was sick" I mumble Rob letting go I sigh "I know things are a bit rough and scary but I didn't want Rob to lock me away or something " I say Rob whining "I know but your the strongest person I know! You don't need protection!" Rob says happily.

Mitch quickly got up "So I'm weak Rob? So sorry that not everyone is like Preston! So sorry I was beaten and raped! So sorry-" he stopped leaning over breathing shakily. Jerome gentlu grabbed him but Mitch yelled at hkm and walked off Jerome quickly following I could hear Jerome yell after Mitch "I didn't mean it like that " Rob said softly Seto getting up "unfortunately it did sound like that, we both heard what Mitch went though- that was a low blow" he mumbled kissing Ian's forehead "stay I'm going to help Jerome" he mumbled quickly running off.

I look at Rob who looked towards them and quickly went too I sighed "it was fun while it lasted, I'm sure they'll come back" Jason said I looked over and sighed "you guys don't have to stay I'm sure we've all lost our appetite" I sigh Jason got up and hugged me "I think this was nice" he says Tyler nodding "absolutely " Ian adds I sigh and smile weakly.

Jerome's pov

"Hey remember what I said?" I ask trying to calm Mitch down he shook his head "I'm weak! Why are you still here! You should just leave me! I'm ugly and hideous!" He yelled I held his hand he yanked it out I frown gently holding his face "that's not true and you know it, your very beautiful in my eyes and very strong" I say gently say "for all I know that's a lie " he said I frown.

"No my love it's not, your extremely beautiful in my eyes" I say reaching for him "Jerome why do continue to lie to me! Just tell me the truth!" He yelled shakily I shook my head "It's not a lie it's always been you, I chose you! I wanted you don't care what you look like your beautiful!" I said reaching for his hand he looked away.

"Maybe the mistake was being with you, you don't tell me the truth anymore. maybe I would have been fine, maybe he wouldn't have hurt me if I didn't love you! " he says I whined hearing that my heart hurting  "No Mitch- you don't really think that do you?" I ask shakily  "I don't know Jerome- can you just leave me alone" he says laying down. I whimper looking at Seto who shook his head "give him some time to cool down" he mumbled softly.

I sigh shakily and nod "of course" I say walking over setting his phone next to him "if you need anything" I mumble softly Mitch looked at me "I won't" he says I frown gently kissing the top of his head "don't worry Jerome I got him" Seto says I nod shakily and walk out. I breathe shakily walking back and punch the wall letting my head hang.

"Jerome?"

I look over and see Rob "Go away Rob I need alone time " I say "I didn't mean it in a bad way Jerome" he mumbled I sigh and walk off I sit outside by a tree holding my head feeling sick. I didn't realize being with me caused him any kind of pain, Mitch- I'm so sorry it caused you pain. It hurts me that I hurt you. Maybe it is my fault. I'd do anything to see you happy.

"Jerome?"

I looked over and saw Tyler "you okay you looked pale" he says kneeling next to me I blink rapidly trying to fight the tears "I'm fine- go help Mitch" I say shakily  "Seto's got him I'm worried about you" he says gently touching my forehead.

"He said he didn't-  What if he didn't love me? He would have been fine, what if he's right? What if this is my fault?" I mumble he tilts his head "you think that?" He asked "this is my fault" I say letting my head down "I'd break my bond with him if he would be happy again, maybe I should" I say "I think it's that spell that's acting up his scars are glowing again " he says I sigh not looking at him.

Ian's pov

I look at Seto who helped Mitch walk we had to make sure he would be okay and head to Jerome's village. Honestly, I knew Mitch would be safe with Seto but I'm more worried about Jerome who had completely stopped eating and talking and when I told his mom was so worried so she told me to bring them.

We walk in Jerome opening the door for us he looked at Mitch and head back outside I was about to go when the chief stopped me "I got him stay here" he says I nod and help Seto with Mitch helping him lay down.

Mitch curled up hiding his face I looked at Seto who shook his head "we got this" I say Jerome's mom and Seto nodded "I'm worried about Jerome, he can go into his meltdown" Jerome's mom quietly said I've heard about that from Seto. The other hybrid part loses control and sometimes it's deadly.

Seto sighed "we'll just have to keep an eye on him and both of them" he quietly says I frown gently kissing Seto's forehead "I'm going to find the chief and Jerome." I say heading out.

Seto's pov

I gently move the blankets laying down next to Mitch "Mitch I know that wasn't you, I know you love Jerome" I quietly say Mitch turned away "Mitch please tell me what's wrong so I can help" I say softly pulling Mitch close noticing his wounds glowing "I remember when you first told me you liked Jerome and how nervous you were" I mumble softly.

"Seto Please stop!" Mitch shakily yelled "Just please stop!" He yelled louder curling up I frown hearing him cry I sigh shakily rubbing his back not sure what else to do.

After a bit I helped Mitch sit up Mitch looked at his hands "Mitch you can't blame Jerome for this how can you?" I asked holding his hand he looked away "I thought you were happy to have a baby with him you were just telling me how excited you are-" Mitch stopped me "Just drop it " he says I reach over holding his hand.

If Herobrine couldn't do the spell maybe I can- it's dark magic but I'm willing to do it for him. I heard it when Herobrine said it but I'm worried. I ignored it and start to saying it gritting from the intense pain I was feeling I felt a hand touch my shoulder I stop seeing Jerome's mom "If Herobrine couldn't handle it maybe you shouldn't either, I don't want you to get hurt " she says. I weakly sigh nodding holding on to Mitch's hand.
