Observer loomed over the sleeping form of Noah, eyes set deep on the lanky body before him. His interest was particularly sparked tonight as he watched him rest; eyes darting around beneath his glasses. He found Noah intriguing, despite how stupid he was as of late.
Noah began to stir, the nightmares settling in. His body tossed and turned in abnormal directions, squirming around and making little whining noises. He eventually stopped, body angled toward where Observer was placed, arms grasping at his leg. He was still fast asleep; just rather paranoid and clingy.
Observer stared- unmoving and unsure what nightmares he implemented to happen tonight for Noah. He was surprised to find him clinging to him, almost as if he was clinging to any type of sanity. He almost felt bad- considering Kevin was urging to pass through to the real world lately. But he didn't wish for that to happen. He simply pushed Noah's hands away, but didn't move. He sat down.
He slid next to the lanky human, huffing at him. Soft growls left his lips as he lifted Noah's body, nails digging into his arms. He laid him against his body, pulling him into his laps. He wrapped Noah's legs and arms around him, a soft purr of amusement emitting from him.
He felt the humane; raw emotions leave him from Kevin hovering around, wanting to feel close to his old friend. He knew Kevin was alone and afraid without a human companion.
Noah's head sunk into his chest, tears rolling down his cheeks from the persistent and horrid dreams. Observer simply wrapped his own arms around him, rocking him. He attempted to shush him but it only came out as purrs and growls- which he hadn't an idea why it sounded that way. Noah began to awaken, grasping onto him. He groaned softly, eyes fluttering open.
"Finally awake? Such a shame you have to suffer more." Observer laughed, hands roughly forcing him to stay close. Noah immediately started to struggle out of pure fear, eyes darting around before meeting the other man's- well, monsters- eyes. It sent him panicking even more, hitting his fists on his chest. "Let me go! Fucking asshole!"
Grasping Noah's hands, Observer calmly spoke. "You should thank me, Noah. For stopping your nightmares, holding you."
He murmured to him, flashing a bright smile.
"Your the only fucking nightmare here," Noah snapped back, looking down at their hands. "What- What the fuck? Wait— why are you so cold? Why are you touching me?"
Observer dropped his head down to their hands. "With Kevin wanting a visit, his energy has caused me to feel slight sympathy for you. Despite how fucking pathetic you are." He replied, looking back into his eyes. His smile stayed deadly and didn't move off of his face.
Realizing by now he couldn't do much, he stopped struggling. He stared back, not noticing the fact that Observer had intertwined their fingers. He eventually did notice, but didn't move his hands- well, he didn't attempt.
Observer leaned in, yanking him close as he retracted his hands. He purred onto his neck, nails dragging and digging into his thin hips.
"Be a good boy, yes? You don't want to upset the collective more than you already have."
Noah merely didn't respond, lost. He didn't know what Observers plan really was- if he killed him during this, at least he wouldn't be alone. He felt as though that wouldn't happen though. He curled hesitantly into him, laying his sweaty forehead against his. "What do you want from me?"
Observer's soft purrs emitted through the night, his perfect white teeth and thick framed
glasses were lit up from the moonlight basking in through the window. He didn't answer right away, but when he did, his bones fingers raked through Noah's curly locks. "Quiet now. Wouldn't want Firebrand to interrupt our fun!"
He cackled, infamous laughter leaving him.
He pushed Noah furthermore into him. "Ah- Don't get to close, asshole! You reek of.. hell." Noah's nose scrunched up, huffing. His eyes flickered up as he shifted his head back, watching as Observer dipped his glasses downwards. He grinned. "I'll get as close as I want, Maxwell." He replied, a smug look on his face. The fact that his eyes looked more terrifying than him with glasses on, Noah shuddered and pushed his glasses back up and onto his face. "Okay okay. Just don't talk to me."
That went fairly well, considering Noah had began to doze off shortly after. Observer gladly held him close, letting him rest. He blocked out the nightmares for one night, laying back. He let Kevin sink through, both young men cuddled up under the blankets for several hours- peacefully. Kevin's arms snuck around Noah, and Noah found his way to grasp onto the back of his shirt. They slept throughout the night.
When they woke, Noah almost set himself into a panic attack. He felt at Kevin's soft skin, making sure he was somewhat real. He shook him. "Kevin? Kevin! Kevin wake up, man! Come on," he pleaded, excited to hopefully see his friend. Kevin began to quickly awaken, shooting up to stop Noah's hands. "Shit— N-Noah? Is it really you?" He asked, feeling around for his glasses. He hooked them onto his face, looking around. His orbs landed on the skinny male in front of him.
Noah snuck his hands around his waist, pulling him close. He held him close to his chest. "Kevin.." He murmurs to him, clinging close. "It's me- I swear. I'm here. I'm sorry Noah," he nudged him close, laying his head on his chest.
Noah refused to let go— but the happiness was soon replaced. He looked down, seeing Observer sink back in. He pushed him back, falling off the bed himself in the process. The room became black, until everything was pitch black. He screamed and screamed until he felt the comforting yet freezing hold on his body. He clung to the form, knowing damn well it was Observer. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
Then it stopped.
He was back on that boardwalk. Alone. His only item was the stupid book like journal, And some fortune cookies surrounding him like a ritual. He sobbed, knees clinging up to his chest. He was alone again. But what he didn't know about was the entity hovering around, desperately wanting to get to him.
But he couldn't.
