my escape didn't last so long. i can't really consider it as an "escape" anyway. it was really me snooping around and finding my shit again. but that shit got confiscated. 

im stuck again in this room, but with more rope around my hands/ankles. he didn't put a gag on me this time, but it was no use to screaming since my throat hurt like hell anyway.

i feel like john was up to something in the first place when i first met in him in real life. when he first met me, he had a look in his eyes that told me that he wanted us to be together. i wanted to do that too, but some part of me was saying that it was kinda wrong to be dating your "boss". 

he did control most of his payments with me and had some demands, and i just gave him what he wanted. the only memorable moments i had was when we were on late-night calls together on discord talking about random shit and betting on who would sleep first. it was usually me.

-flashback-

"yeah, hey um.. y/n?" john asked quietly. it was currently 3:47am and i had a shitload of orders i needed to finish up tomorrow. i hate procrastinating but its in my blood.

"uh... huh..?" i replied back. i was too fucking sleepy for this shit. 3 orders left. just need to finish up the shading.

"go to sleep. please. you need it." john said. "no- i cant. i need to finish this. i need to have my clients be satisfied-" i said but he quickly interrupted me. "y/n. are you.. alright? look, your work is important and all but you also have your health to look after. im worried about you y/n." john said sternly.

"john. why do you even fucking care?" i breathed out. why would he even bother? we probably live thousands of miles apart, and i only started working for john for like 3 months. i only done around 3 thumbnails for him since he could make some for himself. 

the silence was unbearable.

it lasted for one minute, but it felt like one hour. 

john spoke as the silence in the room fades away, soon revealing his voice and my music loading in again. 

"its because i feel like we're something together. our work together benefits each other, ive gotten great feedback and you've been getting your money to be an actual functional human being ever since you moved out. y/n i care about you because you are the support to my bridge." john smiled. 

was he really- im probably just overthinking this. he probably means that in a "professional work ethic" manner or some shit. hes not flirting with me. well i dont think so. i glanced over to the video call we're on. our eyes met on the screen.

"i just.. fine john. thanks to your amazing swoooooning words, ill get going to bed." i said tiredly. "thank god. sleep well my love." john chuckled and ended the call.

is it me or is the melatonin just messing with me today?

-end of flashback-

now that i think about it, john really cared about me. he would ask me about my health, how im doing, to take a break on work, and even offered me a vacation to pax east to rest my shoulders. i refused since i dont like showing my face out in public. 

i dont think im ugly or anything, i actually look fine, but i just dont like revealing as "the person who makes kryoz's thumbnails and probably some other people too" and people assume that me and john date (which is not true but i wish it was).

the bright opening of the door in front of me interrupted my contemplative mind. it was john.

"awake i see?" john grinned. "no shit sherlock homo." i laughed. "nice joke. anyways you wanted me to answer questions for you?" john chuckled. he took off my blindfold and i see the man in front of me, his foot placed right on the chair's seat edge as he grins at me. his goofy smile gets me everytime, but i dont think its a good time to laugh about him right now. 

"first off. you know how distraught i was when you said you didn't work with me anymore and hired someone else. i was fucking sad as shit when i found out you hired someone else, with much more outrageous prices. i even dmed them, and the fucking thumbnail was charged extra-" my rambling got interrupted by john slamming his fist on the wall. 

"you don't fucking get it do you? y/n i saw your order. i saw your dms with artware and the picture they made, god... it made me show how much i love you. i loved that order, so much, to the point where i paid for it instead and they refunded the money to you. i even made that photo as my wallpaper." john looked at me. he has tears in his eyes. emotional breakdown. it's not often but ive seen him break down before in front of me during a call when he didnt have the motivation to record for around 2 weeks straight. all he has been uploading was some twitch highlights and shit but other than that, he didn't even tell the public about this.

not even his friends.

but he did,

to me.
