Shut In

SUCK IT LOSERS!!!! Part 2

Joshua's P.O.V.

I notice a few people walking quickly while muttering about some freak.. Dameon must've arrived. My break isn't until ten minutes from now... I wonder what's going on. curiously, I walk over to the entrance where I hold back a laugh. Dameon is totally pale, he's in a trench coat, has a beanie hat on, black gloves, a white surgeon's mask, a scarf, and dark sunglasses, "Dameon, come over here!"

He looks and sees me, "J-J-J-J-...." oh God... he can't even say my name.

"Come over to the break room, honey," I walk over and take his hand, "You can relax, take off some layers..." I try soothing him down. "You're scaring some customers."

"Sorry," Dameon was wheezing almost and he's ice cold. I can feel it through the glove.

"Don't be sorry, I'm just teasing you," I laugh happily, "So just breathe..." I open the door and get him to calm down more after sitting. I close the door and kiss him gently, "Calm..." I take off his shades and smile with a light laugh, and then I take off his scarf, too. "Why not ready the food? Mini-kitchen there," I point and watch him look, "Also... did you take a cold pill?"

"Yeah..." he nods, "The cold helps keep me alert."

"Dameon," a voice I recognize as Marie coos. 

"Marie," Dameon frowns. Marie tormented him when he was in high school and now she works here.

"You finally left your cave I see," she smiles.

Oddly, this seems to make Dameon bold, "Yo skank. You rent from me. So quit picking a fight. You've been a weak late each month since you started renting from me and the house is in horrible condition now. You ain't never done anything worth while in your life."

I mentally cheer as she retorts, "What?"

Dameon is getting the food out, "You heard me. I ain't quiet anymore. Don't talk down to me anymore. Got it?" 

Go Dameon!!! Marie snorts, "You're just a shut in!" she flips her hair as though she won and smirks deviantly.

I think he knows he's better than someone who used to torment him gave him a huge ego boost... not bad either, "I'm out, aren't I?"

"Huh?" she gives him the look of 'I am better than you.' Dameon gets a demonic yakuza-thug smirk... holy shit... his old 'thug anger' still exists... it might be worse since he's way sexier now... no longer lanky or weak...

His silver eyes focus on her coldly and seem to lock on, the iris not touching his eyelids at all even though they're squinted a bit. His teeth are clenched tightly but he has a big grin. It's awe-worthy to be honest... it seems his ego and pride make him brave, "You really think you're better than me? I'm a trillionaire, I have an awesome boyfriend, take care of two kids, and I'm going to be featured in a magazine too. So... you really think someone as fake as you is better than me?"

Marie really doesn't know how to respond and... to be honest.... I don't either... the once timid Dameon was now staring down Marie as though he were her loan shark. "I'm going... to go... now..." she felt the almost tangible danger rolling off him.

"You do that," Dameon was very sketchy in appearance. Especially since he took off his jacket and gloves and shit. Then when she was out of sight, he goes back to a happy Dameon, "Joshua! I made the onigiri!" He has a wide, childish smile, "And some fish and some veggies~!"
