App Trap (Book One)

ch.4 Sorrow And It's Many Forms

No ones P.O.V.

Laney: "Oh that... My past is not as bad as yours, but it's similar."

Subaru: "How's that?" he questions, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

Laney: "Well my parents separated when I was barely one year old. Mom took both my brother, and me to live in another state. But we had to do parent visitation... the short version... I left my mom to live with my dad and a bitch of stepmother... soon after high school I was caged like a small bird... My own friends avoided coming over because of my step-mother. So I decided that I would hide away, and soon enough I started wishing for death... Yet it never came. So killed myself in a different way... I became numb to emotion and feelings alike. Pain, joy, happiness and even to the people around me... I had enough of it, so moved back to mom's and stayed there until he decided to screw with that happens.."

Subaru: "So how did you know information about us? And why do you act somewhat like a suck-up towards Reiji, then you act openly to me even though I'm a monster..."

Laney: *Sigh* "Subaru I'll tell you the same answer as Reiji and Ayato... I can pull up on my phone and all the information about your whole family will appear. But I have to say... Sometimes I feel pity for your brothers but others I despise and wish nothing good ever happens to them."

Subaru: "I'm guessing the triplets are one for killing their mother?"

Laney: "No, I have no feelings of redemption for that vile snake, but Reiji I highly dislike for what he has done to Shu."

Subaru: "Why then?"

Laney: "He wanted his mother's' approval but there was no need to place all his hatred towards Shu for being forced to be the heir. Even now he is petty and envious for something Shu never wanted in the first place. The only reason I am tolerating him is that I refuse to be hit or even be touched by his bloodstained hands." It is quiet for a few seconds. It is quiet until I begin to speak, something of what I always have wanted to tell him.

Laney: "Subaru... You are not a monster, the monster is your father... I always saw you as a misunderstood person who had a haunting past that just won't leave you alone."I gave him a sweet smile.

Subaru P.O.V.

That is the first time anyone has shown me kindness in such a way. I can tell she isn't afraid of any of us. It's weird that she shows more attention to me than the rest. Her smile is nice. Subaru! what are you thinking!? Don't you dare fall for something so stupid! All she wants is to runaway and go home. I need to keep an eye on her.

Subaru: "Tch... Idiot... Don't say things to pity me."

Laney: "I would never! If anything... I admire you, Subaru... More than the rest of your brothers."

Subaru: "DON'T LIE TO ME! THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE DOING THIS IS THAT YOU WANT ME TO PUT MY GUARD DOWN AND LET YOU ESCAPE!"

Laney: "WHY? WHY WOULD I TRY TO RUN, IF I WOULD DIE AS SOON AS HE NOTICED, AND THROW IN MY BUCKET OF WORRIES I'VE BEEN CURSED AND UNLESS I MARRY ONE OF YOU I WILL DIE IN SIX MONTHS TIME!"

Subaru: "What?"

Laney: "Did I stutter? I will die in six months time... And if I fail it will go on to Zdina and if she were to fail too, it will then be Macaria."

Laney's face redden as she crumbles to her knee covering her face with her hands crying.

Shit, I pushed it too far damnit! walking up to her I went to pick her up, but she screams at me, and lashes out.

Laney: "Don't touch me!"

Grabbing her by the hand I pull her into my arms. She beats on my chest sloppily in between sobs.

Subaru: "Tch... Stubborn woman..." We teleport to her room and I lay her on the soft cushioned bed. Covering her eyes with the back of her hand, Laney sniffles, and curses at herself.

Time Skip

Subaru's P.O.V.

I waited for her to calm down, I sat by her beds, but it seem to be an hour or so for her crying to stop.

Subaru: "Are done now?"

Laney: "Yeah I'm sorry... You must think I'm pretty weak, seeing me in this state." she said as she partly sat up.

Subaru: "No..."

I move closer and push her back down on the bed, our faces centimeter apart. I don't know why but something was drawing me to her.

Laney P.O.V.

Pushing me back down on the bed, his face becomes really close to mine. His cold breath cascades across my hot skin. In a flash, his lips were pressed against mine. I was shocked, to say the least, but I slowly melt into the affection and kiss him back. My hands drift up to his head, entangling my fingers into his soft white locks. Subaru began to nip at my lips, asking for permission to enter, but I tease him by ignoring the fact that he bit me on the lips. Subaru becomes slightly annoyed at my decline and grabs my ass which makes me gasp in mid-kiss. Cheeky bastard. This carries on for what seems to be hours till we disconnect our lips, panting for air, only a string of saliva connecting us.

Laney: "As I thought, you are a good kisser."

Subaru: "Shu-shut up!"

Laney: "Hehe, It seemed I chose correctly on who to spend my time with...To tell you the truth, Subaru, you were always my favorite out of the others and always will be..."

Subaru: "What?!"

Laney: "Did I stutter...? Anyways, you must be thirsty and tired... Stay here for the night," state moving my Curly hair to the side so he can bite me.

He gives me a 'are you serious' look.

Closing my eyes... I can feel him rake his fangs across my skin till he bit down hard. I wince at the pain but nothing more. I start to feel light headed as he removes his fangs and rep-positions himself so my back is against his chest. I blush at the position we are in. Me and my big mouth decided it is okay to flirt with things that can possibly kill me, but whatever. His face is nestled in my hair, taking in my sent without me realizing it, I fall asleep in Subaru embrace.
