Contract Killers (Multiship)

Chapter 84 - Lust's New Secret

Lust's POV

My head hurt as I awoken. Turning over, I saw Horror slumbering next to me. That's when I noticed something. He didn't have clothes on. Looking at my own body, I realized that I wasn't wearing anything either.

'I clearly remember putting on clothes last night.'

I peered out the window, the sky was not it's normal light shades of pink and blue. It appeared to be the middle of the day. That was weird because I never slept in unless I did something that was tiring. Getting out of bed, I walked into the restroom. When I saw myself in the mirror, I finally saw why I woke up in the afternoon.

Hickeys covered my body. Quietly rushing towards Horror, I took glance at his skeletal form. The same bruises were on him as well.

I enter the restroom once more, purple blush heavily coating my face. Memories that explained everything came rushing back to me.

~~~~Flashback~~~~

The curtains were pulled back to show the sun shining in the sky. Getting up for the morning, I noted the things that I needed to do for today. I checked my phone and saw a notification. It had seemed that I got an email from someone. I opened it to get a better look. It was from my boss. Reading the words she sent me, I felt the feeling of melancholy wash over me. Tears started to roll down my cheeks. Horror walked into the room and saw me crying.

Horror: What's wrong, Lust?

Me: I was fired.

Horror: From which job?

Me: Fashion Model.

Horror: That's terrible.

That's when I realized that my fashion career was completely over. I now was only left with the job that my uncle forced me to do. This enlightenment caused me to break out into sobs. Horror held me to try and comfort my sadness. He whispered sweet nothings to me.

Horror: It's okay.

I couldn't even say anything back to him. Everything I worked so hard to achieve, was taken away from me in a single email. Many years, I've worked day and night trying to make my vision come true. Then, it was just shattered by the one person that had the power to do it. Horror sat us down on his bed so I wouldn't colapse to the floor and hurt myself. He rubbed my back.

Horror: Hey.

I looked at him as I wiped my tears.

Horror: How about we eat something. Food and alcohol always seems to cheer me up.

Me: O-Okay.

We stood up and walked out of the room. Holding each other's hands, we entered the kitchen. Horror started raiding the pantry and the fridge. He set a bottle of wine on the island along with some cheese. He poured me a glass and handed it to me. I took the bottle and put more liquor into the cup. Horror quietly chuckled. I took a piece of cheese from the plate. Horror then set a small dish of cut up pieces of a baguette onto the table.

(Time Skip)

After several glasses of alcohol, I felt really tired and was on the verge of being drunk. I leaned against the counter while supporting my head with my arm. Horror was right, liquor does make things better. It helped me into a calm state.

Horror munched on a piece of bread as he watched me slowly start to fall asleep. Alcohol always made me really calm, to the point where I become tired. My grip on the glass loosened so I set it down before I dropped it. I didn't want to piss off Nightmare by breaking his glassware.
