The Gallows (Ichimatsu X Female!Reader)

  Pant...pant...pant...pant...

You hyperventilated, lost in a traumatized trance...Osomatsu...was dead...Dead...Dead...And you couldn't save him...

(FLASHBACK)

''OSOMATSU! OSOMATSU!'', you screamed in terror as the white doors leading to the stage slammed behind you after you left it in a panic. An invisible thing has break your boyfriend's leg...The same freaky thing had happened to your neck when you three were roaming the basement level of your high school's theater...

This wasn't a dream: you had hear a loud SLAM, then as you struggled not to hyperventilate, there were...footsteps...coming from the floor above you. 

THUMP...THUMP...THUMP...THUMP...THUMP...

But...that wasn't what terrified you the most...Oh, no...It was the song...Oh, God...The song. It was soft...but you could hear it oh, so clearly...

''Hang down your head, (Your Name)...Hang down your head and cry...Hang down your hand, (Your Name...)...''

The footsteps suddenly stopped RIGHT...ABOVE...YOU... You could only look up to the ceiling as the song stopped...only to start again after a few seconds...

''Poor girl, you're bound to die...'' 

You screamed in a gurgle as you were suddenly yanked from the ground by the neck. You swore you could feel a rough rope strangling you mercilessly and digging into your neck like the claws of a wolf...

Lucky Choromatsu grabbed you before you were lifted higher into the air. Still, after that, you were no longer just creeped out by the theater, YOU WANTED TO GET THE F**K OUT! NOW!! But...That was just the beginning...

Long story short, you were now screaming your lungs out, calling out for your dear Osomatsu...But, no matter how hard you banged, clawed and pulled, the doors simply wouldn't move a single inch...Your alerted screams had made Choromatsu come back to help you...But...whatever was hurting your boyfriend in here got to decide WHEN you could get in...You then stopped screaming in shock as you heard the same song you heard in the basement...Only, this time...

''Hang down your head, Osomatsu...Hang down your head and cry...Hang down your hand, Osomatsu....Poor boy, you're bound to die...Hehehehehehehe...''

Then, all that Choromatsu and you could hear were the strangled howls of the red-hooded teen, going up, up, up...Then, CLANG! Something fell on the ground.

''...Osomatsu?''

''Sssh...'', said Choromatsu, ''Stay behind me.''

He opened the door a crack and you both slowly walked back on the stage looking in every direction...After a few minutes...Choromatsu saw something on the ground. You kneeled to get a better look...

NO...NO...IT COULDN'T BE...

Osomatsu's cellphone...Cracked and still on...As if...It plunged from the ceiling...You fell into a panic attack...

''OSOMATSUUUUUU!!!'', you howled

''Shut up, (Your Name)! You're going to get us killed!'', Choromatsu shouted angrily, then, realizing he shouted at you, he took a deep breath and took your arm to help you up...

''Come on, let's go find Totoko...''

(END OF FLASHBACK)

You had been attacked at the neck, again but you were too exhausted to scream, anymore. Totoko had comforted you to the best of her ability, but nothing could truly snap you out of your stupor...You were now alone (as Totoko had left to see what Choromatsu was doing) in a red neon darkness near some stairs that led to a locked exit...You could only sob...wishing so hard for it all to be just a bad dream...You even pinched, no, scratched yourself until you bled in desperation...

''Osomatsu...Osomatsu...I wanna go home...Please...Please...Please...''

You kept crying, curled up into a little ball of nerves...Then you sniffed and crawled to your boyfriend's video camera that laid on the ground, just a few steps away from you...

You picked it up and filmed yourself silently, sniffing as snot and a thousand tears drenched your face...But then, suddenly...THAT GODDAMN SONG...

''Hang down your head...(Your Name)...Hang down your head and cry...''

You should have been hyperventilating, again...Or screaming...Or sobbing...But...You found yourself beginning to giggle...Whoever was singing behind you...was crooning gently to you...Almost like a lullaby...Hehehehehehehehe...

''Hang down your head...(Your Name)...'', the soft masculine, soothing voice slowed his little ditty...You turned around, your smile getting wider and wider...No one was there...Hehehehahahahaha...Surprise, surprise...Hahahahahahaha....

You then felt a hand caressing your breasts fondly...And another gently stroking your (hair colour) locks...Was that a kiss on your right cheek? And you felt something around your neck...A rope...Just like on the stage...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

''Poor girl, you're bound to...''

You felt a leather mask brushing against your fair left cheek and someone whispering...

''DIE...''

Your laughters were suddenly cut short as you were draggued down the stairs-SNAP!

Your neck broke.
