Chap. 5 | A Peaceful Conversation

The two had done nothing ever since they were both left alone in the basement. Delirious was given the job to watch over Ohm who was doing nothing but sleep all day.

The night came and Ohm slightly stirred in his lips before moaning for letting out a stretch. He suddenly remembered where he was and instantly felt his eyes to check if his mask were still on. They were. Sighing in relief, his ears perked up by the sound of voice cutting through the thick tension of silence.

"Relax, nobody tried to take your mask off you. I'd punch their arms away if they even tried." Delirious spoke, his voice was tired and the way his body was slouched over the wall indicates that he was tired as hell. Ohm narrowed his eyes even though the jason voorhees masked man couldn't see it.

"And why will you do that?" Suspicious, Ohm crossed his arms, waiting for an answer. Delirious just shrugged, placing the pocket knife back inside his hoodie. "Well... We did have a deal. And I'm not about to ruin any of that." The response shocked Ohm, he wasn't quite sure but it did made the man lighten up a little. "That's good to hear." Ohm spoke, leaning against the bars, watching as Delirious yawned through his mask.

Another paused were shared between before Ohm took a sigh, getting comfortable in his temporary place. "He's good." Delirious spared a glance to Ohm with confusion. "Huh?", "You were asking a while ago on how Luke is doing. He's pretty fine... He would sometimes talk about you with me, telling me the stuff you guys did together." Ohm answered, pausing a bit before continuing, "he also told me on how you've always persuade him to join the BBS. And when the time you left the group just to join this.." Ohm gestured around him, giving Delirious a frown. CaRtOoNz had surely missed Delirious dearly. He doesn't care if he was a so-called "traitor" to the group, all he cared is how he had hurt CaRtOoNz's feelings.

"Oh..." Was all Delirious could muster, memories of him and CaRtOoNz flashed inside his mind. "What about Bryce? How's he doing?" Hearing the name was enough to make Ohm flinch. He and Bryce didn't really work well together. They constantly bickered and argued, never getting alone. "Bryce left the team. He quit. He said that he wants to have a normal life with his girlfriend." Ohm rolled his eyes, still glad that Delirious couldn't see behind his mask.

"In exchange, we got a new member. His name is DeadSquirrel." The grey hoodied man added, feeling himself smile for a bit at the thought of the younger male joining the team. Squirrel was actually quite useful. He was funny, smart, handsome and cute. Ohm stopped on his thoughts, slightly blushing at what he said. Thank goodness that the room was poorly dimmed.

Whilst Ohm felt happiness, Delirious on the other hand felt his face fell down. "Oh, so Bryce got replaced too huh?" He muttered underneath the mask, not going unnoticed by the other. Thinking carefully of his next choice of words, the brunette slowly spoke,

"You are not replaced, neither was Bryce. Luke clearly cares about you if he couldn't help himself to talk about you everyday. You're certainly on a special place in his heart." Delirious couldn't help but smile at the monologue, he gave a little chuckle before facing himself directly in front of Ohm. "That's so gay," he commented, watching the brunette raised an eyebrow up.

"What's wrong with being gay?" Ohm asked, his voice sounding so innocent. Blue eyes widened before chuckling, "why? You're gay too?" The question made Ohm silent. He bit his lip and glance away from the man whose blue eyes were shining against the dim light. Delirious didn't expect for Ohm to be so quiet all of a sudden but he just shrugged it. "Don't worry, I'm gay too." He admitted, laughing at the end then yawning.

Noticing this, Ohm faintly smiled. "Hey, why don't you take a quick rest? I won't try to escape. I promise." Weighing the pros and cons, Delirious was really feeling like he could take the sweet sleep so he agreed. Calming himself down and letting himself fall asleep, giving his trust to the man whom he assumed his replacement in the Devil's. The last thing he saw was the pair of hazel eyes that shone against the light for a moment.
