The Tales Of Ricky Goldsworth

Demon

Ricky admired his work for a few seconds before stuffing the gun back under his jacket and turning around to leave the room. He stopped in his tracks when he suddenly heard shuffling on the floor behind him. He heard a deep growl behind him

"You will pay for this." It snarreled. It didn't sound human.

Ricky didn't turn around. For the first time in his life- and death he felt paralyzed by fear. The growling voice sounded demonic. A clawed hand grabbed him harshly by the shoulder and swung him around. His eyes widened when he saw what the hand belonged to. Towering in front of him stood a humanoid creature. It had the features of Shane, except the eyes where pitch black with two big white dots as pupils, Two blood red horns curled up into sharp points from the equally as red skin, it was about 8 feet tall and its hands were clawed.

"Get. The fuck. Out." It spoke in a demonic growl. Its grip on his shoulder tightened. Ricky was terrified. Suddenly Ryans eyes turned milky white.

"Goodluck explaining this" He pointed at Shane. "To your boyfriend. i'm out. this isn't worth it. I'm not fucking with a demon. That's my one rule." White smoke rose from Ryan's eyes, and then disappeared into the air. When there was no more smoke, Ryans eyes turned back to normal with a horrified look in his eyes.

"Wh-What the fuck just happened?" He stammered. He looked up, and saw the thing standing in front of him. His heart beat so fast it felt like it was going to spring out from his chest. He jumped backwards until he stood squished up against the wall.

"H-holy fuck." He whispered breathlessly.

Suddenly the thing started to shrink down into a very tall man with a worried expression and the face and body of Shane. But it couldn't be Shane. That... Thing, couldn't be his Shane. Ryan had tears of fear rolling down his face.

"Ryan, hey, it's me, it's Shane, no need to be afraid, i won't hurt you." The man that looked like Shane slowly stepped closer, reaching his hands out for Ryans. Ryan was paralyzed by fear. He just stared at the man as he grabbed his hands and held them in his in a calming manner.

"Ry, please, say something." He sounded heartbroken.

"W-what are you?" Ryan stammered, still paralyzed in fear.

"It's me, i'm Shane, your Shane." He reached his hand up to run it through Ryan's hair, but in a moment of bravery Ryan grabbed his wrist before he could touch him.

"You're not Shane. I saw what you were." The man looked hurt by that notion.

"Ryan, i swear to you, it's really me. I'm sorry i never told you. I just couldn't. I didn't want you to be afraid of me." Ryan searched the man's eyes for any lies. He only found genuine truth and tears forming at the edges of his eyes. Could it really be Shane? He sounded like Shane, looked like Shane, and he didn't seem any different, except for the big scary demon part. But just as Ricky Goldsworth had just been a bit on the show, the fans had also suggested that Shane was actually a demon. they'd found plenty of proof too. Maybe they were right. Maybe this was his Shane.

"Shane? Is it- is it really you?" Ryan let go of Shane's wrist and stepped a bit out from the wall, closer to Shane.

"Yes, it's really me," he pulled Ryan into a tight hug, "It's, really me.." He whispered.

Ryan wrapped his arms around the tall man and they stood there, holding each other, for what felt like hours, until,

"Shane?"

"mm?"

"What the fuck happened?"

Shane tried his best to explain it all to Ryan. Ricky's possession, how he shot Shane in the head, and so on.

"so.. you're telling me.. I MURDERED several people?!" Ryan exclaimed.

"No, Ricky murdered several people. He just used you as a vessel. Don't worry Ryan, you're not guilty in any way, and you're not a suspect in any of the cases." Shane corrected him. Ryan took a deep breath.

"Okay, okay... um, but, Shane, how do we leave this room now? we're both covered in blood, and there's nothing in this room we can use to clean it off with."

"Fuck." Shane whispered. "Lets just say its for a bit on the show?"

"Yeah, good idea." Ryan laughed nervously.

People did notice, some even screamed when they saw the two walk to their desks. But everytime they just laughed awkwardly and explained that it was 'just for a bit.'

They decided to pack up and take the rest of the day off. In the end, they went back to Shanes apartment where they put on a movie, even tho none of them were really watching it. They cuddled up together on Shanes sofa, and most of the evening consisted of Ryan asking questions about Shanes demonic side and Shane explaining to the best of his ability.

It wasn't long until their coworkers and soon after their fans, caught onto their relationship. They were only met by acceptance and excitement from both sides. But no one ever really caught onto their other, more supernatural secrets, even after someone discovered the room filled with blood. Because somehow, everyone just 'mysteriously' seemed to ignore it. Ryan and Shane hoped that case would, as many others, be left Unsolved.
