Childish Love | HUMAN! SPONGEBOB X READER |

Chapter 25

// here's a crazy/weird chapter for you xD //

Trace had his hand resting on my thigh as his head laid on my shoulder from the side, his glasses were crooked.
A bit of drool dripped down his lower lip, soft snores left his throat as he slept peacefully against me.
I smile down at him and softly pet his head, "So cute" I mumble under my breath.

Trace's POV (kinda?)

"Hello? Y/N?" I walk through the dark and cold house with just my bare feet.
For some reason her/his door was left wide open. It's freezing cold in here, and so dark.
I just got off of work and wanted to stop by to help cook supper, but there's no sign of y/n being here..
"Are you here?" I look around the dark living room, and slightly shiver.
Such a creepy atmosphere..
Suddenly someone placed their hands on my back and pushed me forward.
I land on my knees and elbow, stinging my skin from the hard impact.
"Ow" My eyes tear up as I shut my eyes and move to sit properly.
"Haha! Spongeboy fell again!" A boy hollered from behind me.
I open my eyes and see myself in the playground of my old elementary school.
Theres a bunch of students standing around me and laughing, pointing their fingers down at me.
"S-stop.." I mumble and lower my head, my vision blurring from tears.
"You're so weak." A familiar voice speaks from above me.
That voice..
I raise my head and see y/n standing over me with her/his arms crossed, a smirk plastered on her/his face.
"Wh-"
"You should be ashamed, Spongeboy" Another familiar voice speaks next to Y/N. Joss glares down at me.
I try my best to keep my tears from falling. I can't cry in front of y/n like this. I'd never forgive myself.
"S-stop.. Please." I beg and tightly shut my watery eyes as I bring my hands to cover my ears.
Everything goes black, then someone softly placed their hands over mine.
"Trace, are you okay sweetie?" My mothers soothing voice calmed me down and warmed my heart.
"Mom?" I open my eyes and catch eye contact with my mom, someone I haven't seen in so long.
"Yes, sweetie?" She smiled and removed her hands from mine, I let my hands fall with hers as I return the smile.
"I missed you." I lean in and give her a big hug.
"I missed you too, hun." She embraced me with her hug, that I missed oh so much.
I happily close my eyes and enjoy the hug while it lasts.
I could feel her presence slowly fading away, so I open my eyes.
Everythings gone, again.
"M-mom?" I look around, only seeing darkness, even though my eyes are wide open.
I shut my eyes once again..
I have to wake up, or this horrid dream won't ever end.
I open my eyes, and nervously look around.
I'm in y/n's house again.
I quickly walk around her/his house, "Y/n?!"
"Yeah?" She/he called back from upstairs.
A wave of relief fell over me as I run up the stairs, "Y/N, I'm so glad to see you."
As I made it to her/his room, I had a small smile.
I look in and see her/him in the bright bedroom, sitting on the bed with her/his pajamas, "Did you come to say good night or something?" Y/n chuckled.
I nervously chuckle as I walk in, "I don't know.. I just woke up from a really weird dream."
"Yeah? What was it about?" Y/N asked as she/he pat the bed next to her/him.
I sit next to her/him and softly sigh, "Just random things. Like my childhood.. Meeting my mom.. And getting bullied."
"What? Bullied by who?!" Y/n perked up and stared at me with concern.
"N-no one particular.." I lie as I lower my head, poking my fingers together.
"Liar." Y/n spoke sternly.
I raise my head and see y/n glaring at me..
"Why'd you lie to me? Are you too weak to tell me the truth or something?" Y/n asked in a cold/dark voice that sent shivers down my spine.
"Wh-what? No.." I quickly shake my head and lean away from her/him.
Why's she/he being so mean all of a sudden?
"Stupid spongeboy." She pushed me off of the bed and spat down at me.
I wince in pain and feel tears prickle my eyelids, tightly shutting my eyes.
"Trace.." Someones voice echoed.
"Trace!"

Your POV

"Trace, are you okay?" I ask as Trace jolted awake, his cheeks stained with dried tears, his eyelids slightly puffy.
He sat up and wiped his eyes while sniffling, "Y-y/n?" he blinked a few times so he could adjust to the brightness.
After a moment, he looked up at me with a scared/confused look.
"You were having a bad dream.. So I woke you up." I explain in a soft tone.
He suddenly teared up and lunged into my arms, "Oh it was so horrible! I couldn't wake up from that crazy nightmare!" He sobbed onto my shoulder as he held me tight.
I quickly return the hug, "You're okay now.." I mumble and rest my head on his shoulder.
The look on his face.. It broke my heart seeing him so scared and full of sadness.

// A/n:

2 chapters in 1 week?! That's crazy xD
I'm actually uploading!
I wanted to get some chapters done to celebrate my birthday.

I wanted to do a chapter where we go into Traces head a bit and see his main fears.
If you couldnt tell what they were, I'll list some of them.
- Being alone (first scene in the empty house)
- getting picked on and being called weak. (The park scene)
-his friends not liking him anymore (Joss calling him a loser)
- being away from his family (scene with his mom)
-Y/n not liking him anymore (last scene in dream)

It was kinda sad for me to write, and I got kinda emotional in the end xD
Why do I do this to myself.
