Toys (Shiki X Reader) DISCONTINUED!!

Chapter 20

The man before you frightened you, had hurt you, manipulated you... yet still won your heart.

After your involuntary confession to let him hurt you, you haven't been outside since.

You could only assume months had passed since then, and you eventually lost track of time.

The same type of routines continued every few days, you barely had time to rest.

Any free will you may have had was gone. You knew full well what would happen if you acted out of turn.

And you had several bruises to prove it.

Red marks scattered your body, and he always kept himself entertained.

Even if you wanted it to stop, you knew that there was nothing you could do.

It was too late.

Sleeping seemed like your only option of escape, and you tried to sleep whenever you possibly could.

Today, you opened your eyes and could easily tell you were on Shiki's lap. You could feel his gentle hands caressing your hair and the sounds of the T.V blaring in the background.

"Oh? I see you've woken up~" He said in a soothing voice.

You were too tired to respond and just nuzzled your head into Shiki's thigh.

Nothing eventful had happened, and if it had, you couldn't remember. Memories were nearly forgotten, and it seemed like so long ago you lived a normal life.

Closing your eyes again, you basked in his attention as usual, but today something was different.

Like some sort of fire was lighten underneath you, a flash of common sense rushed into your head.

You knew that this wasn't normal, and sometimes you wanted him to leave. But you knew if he left, you'd be entirely alone and isolated from all society.

As you thought this to yourself, you could feel a lump on the side of his thigh. You could only determine there was something in his pocket, which was usually empty.

For some reason, something compelled you to reach into his pocket.

"(Y/n)~? Is something wrong~?" His voice was smooth like usual, but he kept his attention on the T.V.

You then realized that there was a phone in his pocket. You silently debated whether to just leave it alone or to take a chance.

For the first time in what seemed like forever, you made your own decision and took the phone out of his pocket.

This was your phone. You haven't seen it in months...

You pressed the power button and watch as it turns on.

Shiki sighed to himself and patted your head.

You rarely talked anymore, so your voice was hoarse, yet you still asked.

"W-why did you have my phone..." Your voice was quiet, and you immediately regretted asking once you saw his usual grin disappear.

He takes a moment to think before scoffing.

"I suppose you can look through it, but you should obviously be aware of what you can and cannot do." He states. "Besides, you don't want to make me angry, right~?"

The way he says this sounds more like a threat than a question.

You nodded your head in agreement and glared at the object before you.

It seemed so foreign to hold a cell phone, and the last activity on it was four months ago.

Yet why was it in his pocket today of all days?
