*Discontinued* Tortured Love

26

'Anti, you need to tell me what's going on with you.' Anti frowned as he looked up to see JJ tearing up. 'And don't you dare lie, because I've already been told...' The look of pure horror that flashed on Anti's face took everyone by surprise. 'I need to hear it from you.'

"You... You weren't supposed to know." JJ frowned as Anti looked around at everyone's faces. Jack and Jackie both seemed to stare at the ground. Henrik had this look of concern as Chase smiled supportively at him. "How... Why... You weren't supposed to... I didn't want you to know."

"Anti you need to tell them... tell him." Jack lulled softly as Anti just crashed.

"If Ivy plans on killing Jack... so be it." Jackie playfully slapped Anti's arm making the demon growl as he bared his fangs. "I DON'T CARE ABOUT JACK!"

"You do too. Don't lie." Anti flared as Jackie just laughed at him. "What's going to happen if the bitch kills him. He's not the one you're attached too, Anti. Do you really think she's going to stop with him?" Anti's eyes shot wide as they darted over to JJ who frowned in concern. 

"She won't touch him..."

"She already did." Anti flinched as JJ's eyes went wide. Jackie sighed as JJ shot him this look a question in his eyes. "Tell him, Anti."

"I don't want to..."

"I'm not about to have you end up in another fucking coma because you can't be honest about the fact that you're in love with..." Anti screamed as he glitched out sending electricity flying everywhere. Henrick was quick to block Chase as JJ put up a shield for him and Jack. Jackie just smiled sadly as he felt the subtle numbing buzz in his skin and Robbie perked up. Marvins eyes were a bright pink as he had himself in a protective bubble. "Really... A tantrum... Anti come on."

"Don't tell him. Don't tell him." Anti practicaly chanted as he curled into himself, glitching and shifting as he cried. "Don't want to hurt him... I can't... I... I love him. I love him." The room seemed to crash as Jackie suddenly pulled Anti into a hug shocking the demon completely. Everything died instantly as Anti went ridged. "I love... I love him Jackie." Anti slowly relaxed into the hero as the subtle warm Jackie let out helped to calm him down. Anti smiled softly as he leaned his against the others shoulder and sniffled. "I don't want anything to happen."

"I know. Trust me glitch... I know." Anti's eyes darted about as he looked around seeing everyone staring at him yet... he couldn't make himself upset. He just... He was drainned... emotionally. "Tell him. And maybe while you're at it... You tell Henrik the truth too." Anti tensed slightly as Henrik sudenly shifted.

"Do I have to?" Jackie laughed as he nodded and pulled away to give the demon this silly look. "You're gonna make me look weak."

"You aren't weak, Anti. Not in the slightest." Anti's eyes narrowed as Jackie just smiled. "You're the strongest here... In my opinion anyway. Physical strength... That's one thing. We've all got that... but emotional strength? It takes a lot to go through what you do."

"Seriously, who the hell are you and what did you do with the fireface?" Jackie laughed as he punched Anti's arm lightly ignoring how Anti tensed with a nervious look. "Why do I have to say it? I mean... It's just the half breed." Henrik rolled his eyes as he leaned against the wall in annoyance only to pause a bit as Jackie just smiled at him with this knowing look. "I just... I... When did I even tell you? I mean the half breed is..."

"Anti, you're proud of him and you eed to tell him." Henrik's eyes shot wide as Anti whined.

"Well just spill te fooken bean why doncha?" Anti growled as he glitched slightly. "Fine. Yes. I'm proud of the half breed. Happy, Jackie... I'm proud of the half pint because he's one fooken beast of damn demon and he doesn't even try. He's smart as shite and can crush Dark without even liftin' a damn finger. And instead of doing shit like the rest of us he's a fooken doctor meaning he's gotta hell of a lot more morals and control then most give him credit for. So yes..." Anti's eyes shot over to Henrik who was honestly just... stunned. "I'm proud of him. Very fooken proud. I'm proud of him... of Robbie for working so hard and fighting through everything despite his struggles. I'm proud of Chase for everything he's STILL fooken fightin'. I'm proud of you ESPECIALLY after what you just fooken showed me." The whole room seemed to light up a bit as Anti started to smile a bit. "This whole family is nothing but a bunch of fucked up fighters but yall keep on fightin' anyway." Anti stopped as he sighed and turned over to JJ with a soft smile. The poor silent ego had tears in his eyes as he tried to sign through the shaking in his hands.

'We really don't know a thing about you... do we?' Anti's head tilted slightly as his smile grew a bit. JJ's eyes widdened a bit more seeing the familar expression and his heart started to race. 

"Jamie, out of everyone, you know me the most." Anti's eyes slowly started to shift and change until all that was there was the cool blue he saw every night in his dreams. "Not even Jack's heard half the shite I've told you."

"Anti..." Anti cringed as he looked up at Jack to see the stern look he was getting and he just nodded.

"JJ... Jamie, I..." Anti grunted in shock as he found himself suddenly wrapped up in JJ's arms, their lips pressed firmly together. Anti melted instantly kissing back as more tears fell from his eyes. When JJ finally pulled away Anti was beyond dazed. JJ just laughed silently as he smiled

'I love you, Anti.' He mouthed making Anti smile brightly. 

"You... what?" Anti glitched subtly as blinked in shock. He wanted to look around to see if it was a trick from the others but... He couldn't take his eyes off of Jamesons. "What did you just..."

'I love you. I have for a while.' He signed as he stepped back, a shy smile on his face as Anti slowly leaned agaisnt his knees in thought. 'I mean... How could I not when in the dreams you were so...'

"Jack, am I dreaming?" JJ frowned slightly as Jack just laughed out making all the other relax a bit at the sound. Jackie rolled his eyes as he glanced over at Chase before frowning a bit getting lost in his own thoughts. "I uh... I must be... I'm... Jamie?"

"You're not dreaming, Anti." Jack called out seeing his demon so out of it. 

"Not that I want to break up this..." Marvin waved his hand about with a slight smile making everyone glance over at him. "But we still have a problem here. The person after Jack?"

"Ivy." Anti growled as he raked a hand through his hair. "Right... "
