Chapter 7
Knife, check. Gloves, check. Sleeping pills, check.
Only three things Tobias needed to start his plan of getting rid of his first obstacle, which wrenched Kain, in other words, Y/n's teacher. Killing for the young boy shouldn't be anything new, not like he had never felt blood on his skin before. Instead of overthinking and panicking about the concept of being caught, he was calm, free of any worries that could purge through his mind. Exiting the department store with bags of groceries and school supplies, masking the true intentions of buying the knife, a box of gloves, and a flash drive. It is not unusual for the black-haired one to run errands as he often does it with his beloved Y/n, whether it is for buying groceries on the way home or picking up a package from their local post office. He has yet to complete his plan. He needs to know more about his target with little time.
After exiting the department store with bags in his hand, he got on the bus where he would be reaching his next destination, a small office company that specializes in gathering information about people, and even better, their dirty secrets too. Walking up the small steps as he pays the driver before getting into an empty seat, there weren't too many people, so there isn't much of a hassle when it comes to sitting by himself. Tobias sat beside the window on the bus while placing the bags on his lap. A couple of other people got on the bus scattered around in different spots, better enough for none of them choosing to sit beside him. The doors of the bus closed once there were no more passengers for the driver to wait for, starting its engines and driving away.
The young boy leans his head against the window and stares outside, looking at several cars passing by and pedestrians on the sidewalk while he clenched the bags as it rest on his lap. Of course no one wanted to get caught when murdering someone, especially when there could be more to remove in case anyone attempts to get close to Y/n. Letting out a heavy sigh, getting caught would be a failure of protecting his one and only love from filthy hands ds of other people, it would rather be an inconvenience than a fear if the authority stopped him on his tracks.
Hearing a bell ringed, following a short announcement which tells that they are at his destination, standing up with the bags in his hands, he got off the bus and bid the driver goodbye. While the bus drove off, he set one of the two bags down and took out a small piece of paper containing an address of the building, looking both way before putting the paper back into his pocket and taking the bag, making a left. Going straight for some time until he made a right into a gloomy looking alleyway. No too far, there's a dimly lighted door in the middle of the alley with a worn sign which wrote.
-Roy and Joe's Helpers-
Tobias couldn't help but scoff at the choice of name, knocking on the door. Hearing a faint "Come iiinnn." Before opening the door and doing so. First thing the young boy laid his eyes on was a young woman who is doing her nails while watching something on the desktop in front of her. The brunette looks at the kid with a surprised expression, "Oh uhm...a kid! What you doing here little man?"
"Mr.Pop sent me here." Tobias replies, of course he knows he would be denied the information on Kain since he is a kid so, he made up a person and pose as a person who is here to get it for "him".
"Oh yes, Mr.Pop! So, you're here to get stuff for him?" She asked, putting the deep red nail polish aside so her nails would dried up.
Tobias simply nodded in response, the young lady pointed at the direction, presumably the one who can help him learn more about Kain. "Thank you..."
"Just call me Nicole and no problem. I'm sure Mr. Roy can help with Mr.Pop's needs." She said with a smile before sitting back onto her seat and continuing with painting her nails.
Tobias didn't say much and followed the directions he was given, the place around him is somewhat shabby and old. The worn and peeling wallpaper, the fluorescent lights that emits nothing other than faint buzzing noises, and the floor board is always creaking at every steps.
Reaching toward the door where Mr. Roy's office is, he knocks on the door.
Hearing a a gruff voice following a few coughs before some rustling noises were made till it became quiet. "Geez Nicole, for how many ti-."
"I'm not Nicole sir, I'm here for Mr. Pop." Tobias said. Letting out a heavy sigh as his grip around his bags tightens.
"Oh that man that called before, come in." Mr. Roy replies before Tobias opens the door. The strong smell of smoked cigars almost slapped the young boy's face when he stepped in, seeing a large man huffing and puffing an almost finished cigar. A rich olive skin with black curly hair with white streaks, you couldn't see the older man's eyes as his glasses' lenses is tinted to the point it is all covered. Almost a giant himself compared to Tobias small stature.
In Tobias' eyes, he sees Mr. Roy as a possible member of a gang due to the other's appearances, especially when his white buttoned up shirt rolled up, exposing all of his tattoos on his arms.
Butting out the now finished cigar on his ash tray, Roy moved his head toward the young boy, letting out a soft huff. "You ain't no Mr.Pop from the phone." He said, laying his arms on the armrest and leaned back on his seat.
"I know, I'm sent here for him." Tobias replied.
"Is that so...set your bags down and make yourself comfortable." Mr. Roy said, rubbing his temple with his thumb and index finger. The young boy nodded his head and does just that, walking to a chair in front of the larger one's desk and set the bags right beside it before taking a seat.
"Mmm so it's on Kain Bridgerton?"
The black haired nodded.
"Well to be honest, I have founded quiet a lot of this fella...he's a seriously sick one. Excuse my language kid but, he's the most fucked up one I've ever seen in my whole 58 years of my life.."
Tobias furrowed his brows, there's more than obviously trying to get close to his Y/n? More worst to be considered the most fucked up?
"How is that so?" He questioned, wanting to know more about his target.
"It's just...I don't know how those police didn't arrest this thing already, here." Mr. Roy said, shaking his head and muttering to himself while handing the rather thick file to Tobias.
"I don't think kids like you would understand this thing, just go on and hand it to Mr.Pop would you?"
"Yeah of course, thank you Mr.Roy, I'm sure Mr.Pop will call you again after he sees this soon." Tobias said before bidding goodbye.
"Sounds good, see you later kid." Roy said, doing a small wave as the younger one picked up his bags and left the office. Walking past the front desk, there is Nicole looking up from her desktop, waving goodbye as well.
"Hey little one, I didn't get your name!"
"It's Tobias." He replied.
"Then bye-bye Tobi!!" She said with a giggle.
"Bye Nicole, see you later." He waves goodbye to her and left the building.
Now with the file all about Kian, he can truly start his plan. A sense of accomplishment or others would call it relief, with one last heavy sigh, he went on to the next bus which can take him to his way home.
-
In a dark room with various of butted cigarettes scattered on the floor and wooden desk, with the keyboard sound of clicking filled the room and the mouse making those woosh sound. The computer screen is filled with kids, aged 12-14 in middle school who either committed suicide, in therapy, or still to this day never step foot back into society again. There is many news covering the vile and disgusting acts which cause these young kids never experienced a normal life.
Which all connects the kid story was one man, described as charming, and easy to get along, and people see him as attractive. There is just one problem, the man they just described are different people, who doesn't even exist. With the perpetrator always one step ahead, the police could barely grasp him. Only having the evidence but, never being able to find and catch the man. The one who forcefully defiled the kids, spoiled, groom, and manipulate them, being 9 years since the man hadn't been caught.
Loud but shallow breaths could be heard, paired up with a laugh as the person scrolled down, viewing at more of it.
"Yes...oh yes, just till those adult don't believe em, it's too late~." A voice mutters with a snicker at the end.
A cigarette get lit up by a lighter, taking a huff before letting out a puff. Soon it was met with other butts in the ashtray
The other hand is occupied with a cut-out picture of Y/N, smiling. Presumably a picture from his school, being dressed in a uniform.
"Just you wait...I will have you soon, enjoying every second like I did just like the others." The voice said once again, licking their lips in the suffocating room, filled with nothing but cigarette smoke.
-
In his own bedroom in the house, despite always being with Y/n. Being a rather undecorated room with basic furniture like bed, drawers, and desk. Which is where Tobias sat as he skims through the files. Learning all about the horrible deeds the man committed in the past, using all these identities to avoid being tracked, taking advantage of these kids and others, mentioned of videos being described of such kids being used by Kian. It was enough for the black-haired to scrunch his face up in pure disgust.
"No one will miss him if he's dead...that's convenient but, that's like putting him out of his misery."
Tobias murmurs to himself looking at the taped pictures on the walls above his desk, filled with picture of either Y/n or the two of them. Emitting a relaxed sigh when his eyes laid onto his beloved. His obsession toward his love continues to grow every passing minute.
Although his urge to kill is bubbling inside him, he knows with his small shape it will be impossible or
difficult to even do.
But, the drive, the urge to kill is almost intoxicating to his mind. The instinct to protect and do anything for Y/n comes to Tobias naturally, even one happy thoughts about Y/n sends butterflies to his stomach. And just for someone like Kain being the first in his way is...
Annoying, an inconvenience, matter of fact, why he have to be tasked to get rid of such person as Kain but, if it is for the sake of him and Y/n, no questions is asked.
Then what about exposing Kain, making it all end for good. Better yet, leaving a lasting impact on the older male's life overall. That is possible considering that he can always finish the job completely when large enough. A smile crept on his face, it is all coming together, all he gotta do now is...
Wait.
"This is new-"
Tobias head snapped to the source of his voice, his face looking tense as if he was caught in a middle of something. But his gaze soften when he sees it was Y/n, he couldn't help as always but the corners on his mouth curved into a grin. Putting the papers away and out of Y/n's sight, he stood up before spreading his arms, hugging his one and only.
"Y/n! You've scared me when I finished with my homework." He said, putting on a facade. Wrapping his arm around the other in a tight grip, looking at him in the eye. His lips pouted and his brows furrowed, resting his head on the crook of Y/n's neck, rubbing his face against it with his grin only growing.
"T-Tobias, dinner is ready. Uhm, mom wants me to get you to c-come."
Y/n stutters, it is clear from his body that he is scared, it's just the young boy doesn't know that.
"Oh dinner! Well then let's go eat then, can't keep Mom and Dad waiting for long...right Y/n?" Tobias said, with his head now resting on Y/n's should but, his eyes piercing onto the other.
Looking at the corner of his eyes, Y/n can see the way the dark haired stared at him. He couldn't quite pin point his unsettling feeling, and he couldn't quite bring himself to push the odd one off of him.
"Y/n! Tobias! Dinner is ready, come on now!"
Y/n's mother's voice shouted from the kitchen, that alone saved Y/n from any further advances from Tobias.
"Guess we can't keep them waiting any longer..."
He murmurs, although hesitant, he removes his head from Y/n's shoulder. Walking past him, Tobias went downstairs, the sound of footsteps descending down the stairs started loud till the noise faded away.
With a sharp inhale, following a slow and steady exhale, soon Y/n went downstairs. It didn't take long to reach the dinning room, of course his seat is beside Tobias. It always like this since the two knew each other. For Y/n, if feels almost suffocating, going through dinner with small conversations and topics about school, doing all that while feeling cold and dull eyes digging through the side of his skull funny enough. Clenching the utensils worth a tight grip, eating and munching on the food before him, wanting to be done with already.
"Mmh..mom, I'm full now. I'm gonna go to bed little early, Good night Dad and..Tobias." Y/n said, trailing with his words off a little before mentioning the other's name.
"Well good night kid, It's good to get an early sleep!"
His dad said with a light chuckle before he continues on with his meal. But Tobias on the other can doesn't bother to stop staring at Y/n with no words out of his mouth before giving a short
"Hmph."
Before going on with his meal as well. His mother nods her head, looking at her son with a warm smile. "That's completely okay, sleep well hun!" She responded, and with that, the younger boy got off his seat and makes his way to his room.
His hand on the railing as footsteps heard from the stairs is made.
Reaching to the door of his room, he went inside and lock his doors. That should be enough to keep Tobias out for the night, it is impossible for it to last for more than a night as the black haired boy would do anything to get in, even if it means keeping his beloved up from any sleep by constant rattling the door knob and scratching the door. Might be wondering about the parents but, their room is downstairs and far from the kid's room. So it is impossible for them to hear the god awful noises Tobias makes during times like this.
For Y/n, he couldn't help but feel...
Upset and Angry at himself
Or..
He feels the urge to cry
Or...
the urge to be loved
...properly loved.
He is tired of the twisted love and care Tobias always showed to him the way he hurts him, being the reason most would keep their distance from him. So many people call him weird, he yearns for a social group, friends that will always talk to him, hang out with him. Oh he doesn't forgot about Asher and Chiharu but...he couldn't point out fingers on the two. He cannot be mistaken, he is grateful to be friends with them, it's just..he doesn't feel..
What's the word?
Complete?
Grateful?
Oh that's wrong..
Satisfied
Satisfaction is what Y/n could barely feel when he hangs out with the two, especially when Tobias have to tag along. Just so suffocating but, Kain..yeah Kain, he is nice, funny, oh and caring, very caring.
He enjoys when Kain share him with something new, wether it's in class or after school, he's the reason why Y/n is looking forward for everyday.
It's just..another gut feeling or was he being self conscious about those around him. Being close to such teacher is considered..odd? But it was the two being true friends right..? Nothing more or less, just having plain fun is all.
With Y/n on the bed, he press his head onto the pillows with a heavy sigh. His hands held onto each side with a decent grip, burying his face on the soft and comfortable cushion.
"So...confusing..I hate this." He murmurs to himself, soon he rolls on his back, staring up on the ceiling of his room. His brows furrowed together, "I like Tobias...just want him to be more nicer and less physical and mean."
"Asher is nice and cool and sweet too! Just..I don't know.., I want him and Tobias to get along, I know they are fighting. I just don't like it..."
"Her..uhm, Chiharu, I just want to be friends, why make it so hard to be that way. I'm grateful to be her friend, I just wonder is she sees me as a friend as well."
"Mr. Bridgeto- shoot uhm, Kain. Still can't get used to that, Just like Chiharu, I wonder if he also sees me as a friend."
Y/n murmurs to it all to himself, with so much thoughts and feeling both in his mind and heart is a lot for a kid such as him to comprehend. Pulling up the covers to himself, he lets out another heavy sigh before turning to a side.
With his eyes shut
another day has ended.
