As you had showered thoughts had flooded your mind and now you, currently sitting and watching TV, regretted your life choices. You rubbed your hands on your face and mumbled out soft "fuck"s. Feeling a headache coming in you changed your position to one laying down, "Why didn't I just fucking tell him off..." you groaned into your hands, talking to no one in particular. The room was awfully quiet, if you did not count the television in the background. It was playing an old but a classic movie, scary movie.
You had grumbled yourself to sleep when a sharp noise woke you up. Someone was knocking at the door. Slowly you got up, not in the mood to feel the blood rushing to your head. Wobbling over to your door you quickly checked the time before opening, 2:42 p.m. Hearing another knock you begun thinking why the person wasn't using the doorbell. You unlocked the door, "Yes?".
"Hey" There were two men on your doorstep. The same people you had... observed... that night.
Shit I hope the weird man didn't tell them that he saw me.
The brunet man spoke up with a small smile, "Welcome to the neighbourhood" he laughed, "it's not often we see new faces around here. I'm Edd". You smiled and nodded, "Nice to meet you. I'm [Y/N]". You hesitated for a small second before bringing your hand forward for him to shake it, which he firmly did. Suddenly the ginger beside him spoke up, "I'm Matt". You two shook hands and started a conversation. Honestly you weren't in the mood to talk right now but they may know something about the mysterious jogging infamous Boxman.
"Yeah sorry for not coming earlier. We noticed you moving in but there was a lot of things in the way" Edd apoligised, scratching his cheek and shrugging. The doorframe felt cold on your arm as you leaned towards it, "No worries. Better late than never, right?" you ended with a small laugh. "Right" Matt licked his lips before the both of you looked over at Edd who coughed suddenly. He looked down at his phone, "I gotta go. It's 25% off on bacon cola" he explained and ran over to the red car before driving off. You were kind of shocked at how rudely he walked away. Glancing at Matt though he did not seem as surprised, as he probably was used to it.
"We live right across the street if you ever would need help or something" Matt turned his head to you and pointed right behind him with his thumb. You already knew but that wold be weird to say so you answered with a nod, "Alright. Want to come inside?" stepping aside if he so wanted to.
The bright ginger haired male nodded, his lips turning upsides as he followed you inside. You sucked in a breath as the feeling of warmth embraced you when you closed the door. Turning over to your guest you saw that Matt was looking around as you both slowly made your way to your living room area, "it's really nice in here. You have good taste" he stated, eyes looking at you now as he backed over to your couch, he mumbled some last words before he sat down which you didn't exactly catch. Something something "looking better, pictures, me". You figured it wasn't important.
"Thanks" you smiled, "Do you live with Edd only?" You sat on the armchair right beside your big window, the bottom decorated with some beautiful flowers.
Matt laughed as he took a seat, shifting a bit before stopping, seeming comfortable, "Nope" he answered with a pop, "There's also..." his words faded by the end, making you curiously look at the man in front of you. His eyebrows were furrowed as he looked through the window, his fingers bouncing at his thigh. His face suddenly lit up as he raised his index finger into the air, "Tim. Yeah that's right! Tim"
Alright. Boxman's name is Tim.
You had only seen those three in the car before so the puzzle was quite easy. Or it would've been if Matt hadn't started describing his roommate, "He has these really weird eyes, pitch black! He never said why though, every time he talks about it he gets interrupted."
You were slightly confused, did Matt mean the colour of the eyes of the whole? Because your man had none of those. Looking Matt up and down you wrinkled your nose slightly, "What do you mean, like all black?" You didn't want to come off as rude although your actions said otherwise. But it seemed like he didn't care as he only nodded, "Yes" he actually looked scared as he said, "Like voids.." with a quiet voice. You raised your eyebrows and hummed.
Okay so Boxman is NOT Tim.
"Oh" you clicked your tounge, "Do you have another roommate, or?" You hoped you didn't sound too nosy but Matt didn't mind at all. As if he could only focus on one thing at a time, "Uh.. well.. I think?" he stuttered in more of a question. It wouldn't surprise you if he had forgotten his name. "We have a zombie under our floor in the living room. Does that count?" he laughed out. You, hoping he was joking, laughed as well. "No I mean like..." You begun explaining your Boxman to him, "Horns in hair. Wears red?"
Matt rubbed his head before nodding, "Oh so you've met Lucifer already?"
His name's Lucifer? Not the best choice of name but it suits him.
"Is his name Lucifer?" you asked the hopeless man, hoping to get at least one good answer from him. "I'm literally talking about satan if you didn't... Well good to know that more people has been to hell!" Matt yawned, getting up and streching. Your mouth formed an 'O' as you stood up too walking after Matt to the door. "Well I should go" he said, "Bye [W/N]".
"[Y/N]" you corrected. But he was already out the door.
---
You looked out your kitchen window watching the smallest things, "Goddamnit". A red car pulled into the 'trio's' house and out came Edd seemingly floating on tons of cola cans. The red cylinders seemed to be over 100 and the whole car was filled. He started picking them up one by one, stuffing some into his pockets and hood as he brung them all inside.
With a small sigh you stood up and almost ran to your room and hopped onto the bed. The familiar scent of yourself filled your nose. And once again you had failed your mission to search information about Boxman.
