You stood there shaking, you wanted to do it god you wanted to so bad you didn't know what was mentally and physically stopping you. You spaced out for a few Baby had her hand on your shoulder "hey sweetness, you okay?" You suddenly drop the knife and it wedges in between the floorboards. Beginning to back away Otis tries getting close to you "sugar? Hey what's wrong?" Not even noticing  you were crying, the knife was the same one you killed your dad with. You didn't speak or show any emotion for 3 months after that night. Otis tried to touch you but you instantly run up the stairs as you were doing so Baby and Otis were calling for you, you ran back up to Otis's room slamming the door and hiding in his small closet like you did when you and Bill heard the police sirens. Silently crying for what felt like hours you hear footsteps and the bedroom door opening "Honey?" you curl tighter if possible into a ball your sobs could be heard faintly "Y/N? Girlie where ya at?" The closet door then creaks open. "There you are, hey what the hell happened down there?" Keeping your face buried in your knees he sighs "sugar c'mon now" you hear shuffling then an arm is wrapped around you. "Hey no cryin, what the hell happened?" "Th-the knife, s-ame one i used t-to kill m-y dad..." "Oh shit, that explains it hey it's okay (were dead soon) it was just a little flashback Y/N" you shake your head "N- no, no when i looked up m-my dad was in the chair n-not Mary....".

He sighs and gets you to stand "no tears now sugar, c'mon let's get you to calm down a little" he takes you over to the bed carefully seating you on it. "I-it felt so real..." He starts to rock you a little "hush now, just forget about it sugar..." You lean into him letting him hold you he smiles "i could get used to you breaking down like this..." You laugh a little "asshole..." You mutter making him chuckle. "How's about a kiss to make it better?" You smile softly "yes please" you pull away from his warm hold he takes his thumbs and wipes the tears going down your cheeks "there's my gorgeous gal..." You smile as the two of you begin to lean in. His rough lips capturing yours, making you feel like it was just you two in the world you closed your eyes feeling under a spell when his lips left yours but instantly felt them along your jaw and moving down your neck. Giving a soft gasp he smirks against your neck, and placing a hand on your lower back pushing you closer to him. He nips at it a few times making you flinch each time, he chuckles "a little jumpy are you?" "Yes fucker, i am" he smiles "hey I'm glad you told me what was eatin ya" you nod "I'm glad you listened" "of course i would listen to you sugar, I'm not some ass hole". You giggle "well, sometimes you are" he glares "am not, besides you know you fell in love with me at first sight..." You scoff "yeah you fell for me first..." He chuckles "you are right about that" he lays back down on the bed you looking down at him he smiles.

"What?" He sighs "you are just so dam beautiful Y/N, i am still bewildered as to how you didn't have a lover before me" you shrug "no one really ever understood me like you do" he nods reaching his arms out "hm?" "Comere sugar" you smile. "Sure" gladly you lay down next to him and he wraps himself around you "hey Otis?" He looks over at you "hm?" You sigh "i-i really would like to know more about your past...but..." He sighs. "Y/N there really isn't much to know about me, my parents hated me then Cutter found me wanderin around and bringin me in as well" you place a hand on his cheek "i was just curious Otis, i kinda told you all about me" he nods "true i do, but they're really isn't much to me darlin...just all of what you've learned is what there is". You nod and start playing with his hair "alright, just if you ever need to get something off of ya I'll listen to you just as you did me" he smiles "I'll keep that in mind Y/N... you're lookin pretty butchered sugar" you nod "yeah, a little...the uh cryin took it out of me" he nods. "Cryins not a bad thing, it helps you vent in a way" you smile "mhm, sure is i know that all to well" he chuckles "I'm sure" you playfully hit him "you know they way you and Baby act towards each other i can tell you really care about her" he sighs "yeah, i do i also had to kick the shit out of some boy hittin on her fucker couldn't take a hint apparently". You groan "men are pigs, no offense" he chuckles "none taken sugar, women ain't much better though" you laugh "yeah true..." Letting out a yawn he holds you closer to him.

You smile "afraid of lettin me go?" He shrugs "well that, and these lovely curves you got means there's more to snuggle up with" you giggle "thanks Oti...good to know my bodys loved". He chuckles "darlin of course it is, you don't need to be no barbie to get my attention" you look up at him "aww Otis!" You kiss his cheek he smiles. "To me sugar imperfections are perfection in my eyes" you put a hand over your mouth "you are the sweetest thing you're gonna make me cry i swear...." He chuckles "only if it's tears of happiness Y/N...." You nod "it is i promise" he nods "good" he kisses your cheek. "You know the others may be wondering if I'm alright...should i go tell them?" Otis sits up "I'll go let em know your alive and that you fell asleep while venting...sound good?" You smirk "you just want me to your self huh?" He nods "dam straight i do" you give him a kiss and lay back down as he gets up and leaves. Letting out a sigh happily you know your home and noticing one of his shirts is just draped over the headboard of the bed you yoink it off and take in a deep sniff of it. Smelling like rosemary and whiskey, oddly it smelt nice and you held that t shirt close to you smiling lightly finding yourself dozing off and fall asleep with his shirt close to you. A bit later Otis comes back upstairs and smiles "oh my god, she's got one of my shirts heh she must've missed me" and carefully crawls into bed you shift a little causing him to freeze. Tiredly you instinctively wrap your arms around him causing him to chuckle he slides the t shirt out from in between you two and wraps his arms around you guiding your head to lay on his chest. He sighs happily and kisses your forehead "I won't let a dam thing happen to you, i swear on my life nothing is ever going to happen" you cling a little tighter to him he smiles. "My little reject, all snuggled up with the devil... pretty as an angel but the personality of a demon" he smiles and begins dozing off himself with you close to him.
