The Boy With Open Eyes.

Chapter 33

Cooper let out a sigh as he brushed his hair since it was going to be lights out soon so he sighed and finished brushing his hair, he laid on the bed feeling sad overall as the shock collar he got had been nothing but a bother when ever since he's been forced to wear it for his "safety" and others "safety" so he had no choice but to wear it in the end. It did nothing but shock him when he even got reasonably upset like dropping his food by accident when it's eating and they only give him food twice a day so if he drops the food then they clean up the mess quickly and take it away so Cooper is left there hungry and angry basically hangry so then he gets a shock from the collar as the result of that and it fucking hurts each and everytime because it isn't little shocks his body can handle but horrible shocks that leave him shaking for hours from how much pain he feels from it. Everything was just not going Cooper's way and he was glad he could play his favorite music in his room so at least he doesn't get shocked in his room as often when he's out of it, he likes the music and it calms him when he feels angry or sad about being imprisoned away and he has times where he doesn't care what happens to his family while there's other moments where he wants nothing more for someone in his family to hug him and comfort him from all he pain he feels yet there is no one that comes to comfort him for the right reasons that he can understand why they do what they do to him because he is no good person who deserves freedom. He never felt so tiny and lonely in his life like there is no one there that can see him or seems to even bother to look at him as he sits there feeling a wave of sadness get stronger and stronger over more time alone with no real company besides the cannibal next door screaming at night sometimes, which brings little to no comfort for him when he feels lost and alone or when he looses his screws and thinks or says things he doesn't mean to do as he can't be helped at all with that problem. Cooper let himself lay in his king size bed and get comfy in the soft but not as comforting blankets off to his dream world where everything is perfect and no one is dead or going to die, he knew it was futile to dream of such things yet something inside him told him to continue dreaming on so he did despite the horrible thoughts in his head going wild and telling him that he was doomed to burn in hell.

-Somewhere Else-

Cole was in his new room in the castle as he would be needed by Cooper so it was required they live together until Cooper comes home to be part of society again with no violence from him at all, Cole hoped that Cooper wasn't just acting polite as they may have annoyed him without noticing but that was Cooper's mind and he couldn't read it. Ted looked over to Wrath and Greed who were chatting away nonstop about who knows what while Greed still clinged onto Wrath's arm looking comfortable where he was with Wrath at the moment as they talked about all sorts of things together with Greed doing most of the talking as Wrath silently listened to Greed's every word without interrupting one time. Ted was happy the 2 were getting along well as at the beginning Greed acted like a bit of a jerk to Wrath for a reason that Ted has no answer to so far, at least they were now getting along with one another so Ted wouldn't ruin the moment between the two of them. It was getting late so Wrath already changed into the pj's he had which tonight he chose the bunny themed one and a night cap to sleep with so he was ready to sleep as soon as Greed was done talking about his day even if they were together the whole day and both knew how it went. Greed was in a white shirt and black shorts as his pjs as he continued to brush Wrath's hair that was still tangled thanks to Wrath not brushing it well enough before preparing to go to bed, Greed went to work while he continued to talk to Wrath about sorts of things and it was just pure fun between the 3 of them even if they all did miss their families and their old rooms.

Wrath had even taken out paper bag for lunch with food prepared inside from what Cole and Greed only assumed was made by Wrath's mother or something like that for him that he always had ready for breakfast, lunch or even dinner and it was veggies and fruits with a little desert at the bottom of the bag to always be eaten last by Wrath apparently as one of rules of eating healthy for Wrath or something. He sometimes broke the food into pieces and shared it with Ted and Greed so it was nice to eat macaroons and some cookies with Wrath who politely shared with them gladly as could be, they were growing closer to one another as a team or family should in a way of easily saying it to people who ask how close they are too each other. Ted and Greed were happy to have a cinnamon roll like Wrath in the group as he's the glue of their friendship and keeps them all together so no none of the 2 could never bring themselves to get someone to replace Wrath as Wrath is that one friend that waits for you to finish tying your laces while the rest of the group moves on without you not bothering to wait for you to finish. Greed was being a little clingy again of Wrath as Greed saw Wrath as some sort of shield from harm so he always stuck by Wrath's side even if Wrath was a bit odd with the things he said that made no sense like when they all first meet well Wrath gave off a not so good impression with these few words of nonsense that neither Cole or Greed knew what he was talking about in general.
