Salem x Devland

Chapter 15

Devland's POV
I woke up and almost jumped when I saw Crimson in my bed. I forgot I let her sleep in here. I checked the time and it was 4:30. Great. Fucking. Great. Fucking fantastic. No fucking fabulous. Of course I always wake up early. I should just go over to Ryan's house. I know it's early but I'm bored. I'll just see if he's awake. I grabbed my phone and texted him. I mean sometimes he's up at ungodly hours so I have like a 50/50 chance.

D=Devland
R=Ryan

D: Hey are you awake? I woke up and I'm bored.

He didn't respond for a while. Yea he's probably sleeping. I was about to put my phone back down when it vibrated. It showed that Ryan texted.

R= Sorry I didn't respond right away. I was getting something to eat but do you need anything?
D= I wanted to know if I could come over.
R= Sure. Do you want me to walk over?
D= I think I can go by myself.
R= how about we meet half way?
D= Sure I'll be there in a bit. Bi.
R= Bi.

I got up and looked in my closet for some clothes. I noticed a pink skirt. I saw it at store one time and I remember telling Ryan that it was pretty. But I never bought it. I grabbed it and a note fell out of it. I picked up the note and read it. It was from Brian. What the fuck? Why the fuck would he buy me a skirt? Why the fuck would anyone buy me anything? I just looked at the note and started reading it.

The note read. 'Devland, I know it seems weird that I got this for you but you seem really sad and I wanted to give you this just to be nice. Also because your friend Ryan told me that you've been wanting this skirt. You seem really down so I just wanted to let you know that if you ever need anything just come to me. Sincerely Brian' hmm ok.

I looked at the skirt. He was right. I have been wanting it. I'm gonna wear it to go see Ryan. I looked for a shirt to go with it but all I could find was black shirts and band merch. I then remembered that Ryan bought me some pastel shirts and jackets. He got them for me when I was in middle school. Good thing I never grew since then. I looked under my bed because that's where I had put the stuff. I pulled the box out and looked through the clothing. I found a white shirt with some like pastel glitchy things on it. I remember this one I used to wear it all the time. But I need to find a jacket just incase it's too cold outside.

(Dev's outfit)

I found a pastel jacket to put on and picked up the clothes I was gonna wear. I went into the bathroom and got dressed. I grabbed my phone, sketch book, and pencils. I walked out my room quietly and went to the kitchen. Mr. Brian was there in his phone. "Where are you going all dressed up?" He asked. I turned to him and said "I'm just going see a friend" "ok. Do you like the skirt?" He asked nervously. I nodded and he smiled. "I suggest you leave before your mom wakes up" he said. I smiled and ran out the door. I then started walking to the destination that me and Ryan agreed on. Which is an old bench. Yea. Weird.

Ryan's POV
I was walking to where me and Devland were gonna meet. I left a bit early so if anything happened to Devland I could kill whoever hurt him. I sat down on the bench we were gonna meet at. There were a few noises from animals but it was fine. I sat for a bit and heard footsteps. I assumed it was Devland. I looked over and it was a random person. "Hey are you alright? You've been sitting here for a while" he said. "I'm fine. I'm waiting for a friend" I said. I was getting a little suspicious. I just got bad vibes from him. He then smiled weirdly and walked away.

Ok I'm worried about Devland. What if that guy hurt him? I hope he's ok. I should walk towards his house. No he said to meet half way. He's probably fine. But what if he isn't? What if he's hurt? No he's not. But he might be in trouble. "God damn it" I whispered. I can never make up my mind. I always get soo paranoid over the smallest things. It's soo stupid. Why can't I just act normal? Ugh. Forget it.

I sat back down on the bench and sighed. "What's wrong?" I heard a voice say. I looked up and it was Devland. And holy shit. He was wearing the skirt and the shirt I got for him in middle school. And the jacket. That was mine but I gave it to him because he looked cuter in it. He looked soo beautiful. "I'm fine. I was just really worried about you" I said. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. The skirt fit him perfect and I don't know he was just soo fucking beautiful. "Oh ok. Can we go to your house now? I'm really cold. I need to cuddle with someone" He said. I nodded and stood up. I then felt him grab my hand.

"Ryan are you ok? You look like you have something to say" Devland said. "I do have something to say. I just don't want you to think I'm weird" I said. He giggled and said "I won't think you're weird. I promise" "I just wanted to tell you that you look beautiful" I said. Devland then hugged me. "You really think so?" He asked. I nodded. He smiled and I swear it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. We kept walking to my house and I saw the guy I saw earlier. I suddenly got overprotective and pulled Devland closer to me. "What's this about?" He asked. I just motioned over to the guy. I mean we were almost to my house. So if the guy tried anything we could run back.

We were almost at my house and I noticed the guy had been following us. "Dev don't freak out. But I'm pretty sure that guy from earlier is following us. When we get to my house run in as fast as you can. Here's the key" I said while handing him the key. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and asked "what about you?" "I'll be fine. As long as you're safe it'll be ok" I said holding his face.

He started crying. "I can't lose another person I care about" he said. I hugged him as tight as I could. "I'll be ok. I promise" I said. He nodded and by the time we were in front of my house. I gave Devland the signal to run. He hesitantly nodded and ran into the house. Though when I turned around the guy was gone. I quickly ran inside and Devland was on the couch wrapped in my older brothers blanket crying. I walked up to him and sat by him. When he saw me he jumped into my arms.

Devland's POV
I ran in Ryan's house and closed the door. I was hyperventilating too much to even focus on anything. I ran to the couch and wrapped myself in one of the blankets. I finally noticed I forgot to lock the door. I was too paranoid to get up though. I heard the door open and it made me flinch. I started shaking until I saw Ryan sit by me. I jumped on him and hugged him as tight as I could. "Don't you do that ever again" I said. "I'm sorry. I just wanted you to be safe" he said. I just nodded. I didn't know what else to do. "Uh Dev I don't want to be weird or anything but this is my brothers blanket" Ryan said with a slight chuckle at the end. I didn't care though.

Time skip~

Me and Ryan are in his room watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I haven't seen this movie in soo long. "Hey Dev" Ryan said. I looked over to him and asked "yes?" "I need to go get something really quick. I'll be back you just stay in here. Ok?" He said. I nodded and he walked out of his room. I suddenly felt the urge to draw. I grabbed my sketch book out of my bag and grabbed a pencil along with some color pencils. I started to draw what my mind said to draw.

I started drawing when Ryan walked back in. "I'm back" he said. He got back on his bed and handed me some gummy bears. He remembered my favorite candy. I opened them and ate some. They were soo good. I heard Ryan chuckle. I didn't care I was too busy eating gummy bears. I put the candy beside me and continued to draw. Ryan scooted closer and watched.

"Dev that's beautiful" I heard Ryan say. I smiled softly and mumbled a 'thanks'. I closed my book and put it in my bag. I laid back down and cuddled up to Ryan because you know...I was cold. I continued to eat my gummy bears while we finished the movie.
