Chap. 6 | Are You Still There?

Delirious woke up feeling sore all over his body. Sleeping on the hard, cold floor wasn't exactly the best spot to sleep on. Groaning a bit and rubbing at his sore arms, he glanced around to see that he was still in the basement. He felt that his mask is still on and the cage was empty...

Wait, empty? Wasn't there supposed to be a Caramel/Vanilla scented male in the cell serving as their hostage?

His heartbeat quickened. Oh no... He wouldn't hear the end of it from Vanoss if he ever found out that Ohm escaped. The masked man growled, cursing himself for even trusting the guy. He slowly stood up, trying to shake off the numbness on his legs before he heard the shuffling to his side.

"Slow down, are you on the run or something?" The voice took Delirious by surprise, he was shocked to see Ohm still in the basement. Ohm was just looking around, pulling drawers, opening boxes... It's not like he has anything else to do. And he didn't feel like waking his supposed-to-be-on-the-guard man.

"You're still here..." Delirious spoke beneath his mask, still can't believe that Ohm was right there before him, although he was out of the cage, he was still there. Ohm gave a giggle and Delirious's ears perked up to the sound, he could hear them properly now that he was fully awake. "I did promise you that I won't escape now did I? About the cage, It was just really getting boring... I hope you don't mind." The man grinned before heading back to scavenge through the boxes, leaving the blue eyed man standing there with a mouth agape-still couldn't be seen due to the mask.

The pleasant moment was disturbed when they both heard footsteps descending down the stairs. Ohm was quick to react so he instantly dashed back to the cage, grabbed Delirious's hands and placed it on his collar through the cell making it look like that Delirious was strangling Ohm through the cell. And just as the figure stepped down, it was exactly what they thought they saw.

"Delirious? What are you still doing down here?" It was Brian surprised to see his friend still in the basement. Delirious let go of Ohm and chuckled nervously. "Nothing man, just guarding up the dude." He replied whilst Brian slowly nodded and descended the few steps before finally taking the basement's floor. "Alrighty then, well... I'll be taking the shift over and Daithi will be the one to guard on noon." The Irishman informed recieving a nod from Del before the masked man glance back at Ohm. Silently bidding farewell before leaving the basement.

Once outside, he immediately went over the bathroom and took off his mask. Tracing the outline his mask had placed due to sleeping with it, he breathed out a relief once he found nothing too much. Rubbing his eyes, he just muttered to his breath and turned the showers on, taking his blue and teddy bear themed towel, he turn the water to warm before stepping in. Letting the shower hit his black and through his buzzed trimmed hair. The water slowly fell down to his forehead before continuing it's journey downwards. His mind drifting to the sound of Ohm's giggle and voice, the feature of the brown hair and trimmed beard, the slightly tan skin... His mind then wondered in curiousity on what could possibly be the problem with his eyes. Why did he cover his eyes and not the whole face?

Frowning at the thought that the brunette could have some insecurities, he just ignored it for now.
