Red Thread ♡《Laurence x Reader》DISCONTINUED

I'm very sorry for my inactivity ><

He turned back around, my hand releasing from his jacket as he walked off towards Gene. I guess jealousy can do things like this? I started to debate with myself whether to help or not, but I'd rather not go home pummelled and beat up. God knows what mother would say, and if father found out..

I snapped back into reality, and noticed Gene kicking Laurence in the gut. I turned back around to Garroth, who let out a sigh and stood up.

"...don't tell me you're actually gonna help, 2v3 seems a little impossible," I shrugged.

"What, you think I'm going to let my best friend get beat up by that jerk?" Garroth sighed.

"Well, no but--"

"Then why are you trying to stop me? Would you prefer if I just let him get beat up? I can at least sorta stop it."

"I just..don't want you guys to get hurt," I mumbled shyly.

"I'll be fine, babe~" he grinned, teasing me.

"Okay, now I really don't care if you get hurt," I deadpanned.

"Aw cmon!! Go back to being nice and caring for a little longer," he sniffled.

I crossed my arms and made a small "hmph" sound. I could feel my face heating up. He laughed softly before going to help his friend.

Aphmau rushed up towards me. "Where'd Garroth go?!"

"He went to help Laurence,"

"Waaaah..they're gonna get hurt so bad! We gotta do something!" She placed her hands on her hips.

"How? We're supposed to fight while we're wearing skirts? Yeah nah," I replied.

"Hmm.." I noticed a smirk creeping its way onto her face.

"We don't have to fight at all actually. Wait here," she ran off.

I stared at the fight from a distance, and thankfully no one was here other than us. This place is pretty secluded, and Laurence and Garroth hang around here so fan girls don't bother them. Unfortunately, Gene also hangs pretty close to here.

I felt two hands grab me from behind. I was unceremoniously hoisted up into the air and brought towards where the brawl was taking place. I kicked in the air frantically.

Laurence and Garroth stopped fighting, turning to me.

"Put. Her. Down. Zenix," Laurence asked sharply, his voice laced with malice. A cold look was plastered on his face, giving me the chills.

Garroth grunted, crossing his arms. "Leave her out of this,"

"Hah. Same goes for you guys," Zenix grinned.

"Hmm, well tell us where Aphmau is and we'll let her go," Gene laughed. 

"Why do you want Aphmau so badly?!" Laurence shouted.

"To make us one of us, of course," Sasha smirked smirked.

"There's no way in heck she's going with you guys," Laurence mumbled angrily, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Eh? What's that? Well, Y/N, where's Aphmau?" Zenix asked.

"I, uh--"

"WHERE?!" Gene yelled, grabbing me off of Zenix and holding me up by my shirt.

"I- I just said I don't know!!" I replied honestly. I really don't know where she went.

"Stop lying," Gene dropped me to the ground, kicking me hard on my arm.

"Look, tell me where she is, or you're getting kicked in the stomach next," Gene crossed his arms furiously.

Garroth and Laurence tried to help, but were held back by both Sasha and Zenix. They were too worn out to fight back, so they watched on helplessly. My arm was in a lot of pain, and I was to frightened to stand. That was a one way ticket to getting kicked in the gut, and I wasn't taking it.

Gene went to kick me, but his eyes averted upward, as he noticed someone coming our way.

"GENE!!" A slightly squeaky voice yelled.

"Shit. It's Zane, great," Gene deadpanned.

Zane ran up to Gene, hugging him.

"I'm your biggest faaan!! And of course I can't forget about you two. Now can I join the Shadow Knights, pretty pleaseee--"

From a distance, I saw Aphmau waving over at me. I think this was our queue to escape. I managed to grab Garroth's and Laurence's attention by waving my legs in the air. I lip read the words "run" and they got out of Zenix and Sasha's grip, as they were distracted by Zane. I quickly stood up, and caught up to the boys.

Sasha and Zenix were in shock, and by the time they got Gene's attention, we had already fled the scene. We hid behind a large tree, far away from the Shadow Knights.

"Was this your idea, Aph?" Laurence asked. She nodded.

"That was a really good plan, Aph," Laurence praised, smiling

"Yeah, I agree" Garroth grinned.

Laurence moved his arms around Aphmau's shoulders, and I noticed Garroth tense up. I guess that confirms the theory of Garroth liking Aphmau, I think.

Not only did Garroth tense up, but I also did. I didn't want him to hold her like that, and I also hate the fact that he loves her.

...but why? Why should I care?
