Chapter Text
Before the two boys knew it, it was morning, and it was raining. How upsetting. The boys can’t go on their usual walk, because ms Lila fears they will get sick in the rain.
“ But mooom- “ Crybaby whined. He knew it would be a bad decision, yet he wanted to go so badly. “ no buts, Hon. We’ve talked about this! “ Lila was beginning to loose her patience. He had only asked twice, but still it angered her very much. “… Can we go play in the basement? “ Blood bath suggested out of the blue. “ hmm. Fine. Just don’t bother me. I’m trying to board the windows again and fix the lock on the door before tonight. “ Lila said, beginning to walk off, presumably to the windows to board them. “ Why board them tonight? “ Crybaby questioned. Their neighborhood was relatively peaceful, other than the few fights and … and the fact Gore and Wrath lived there. Constantly hearing screaming from their house. Most likely whomever they chose as their victim of the night. Most the time it was hunter screaming and crying.
” People are planning to go on a killing spree here. I’d rather have a ruined house than my child be dead, along with his friend. “ Lila said, raising one of the wooden boards to the window and nailing it in. “ oh. Ok mommy. “ Crybaby had always been calm in these situations.
“ You two go play, I’ll see you up in time for dinner. “ Lila said, beginning to the second board. “ Ok mom. Love you! “ Crybaby said, walking off with blood bath. “ Bye Ms Lila! “ Blood bath said, waving as he and Crybaby walked down the steps of the basement. “ Bye boys! Be careful down there! “
The basement was dark and dry. It smelled of rotting flesh. Disgusting. Crybaby reached for the light, flipping the switch. “ There is no more electricity in the city, remember? “ Blood bath reminded his friend of their living situation. “ Oh yeah… “ Crybaby reached around until finding a flashlight and flicking it on. The two scanned the room. They have been working on making it a little lounge area for a bit. There was a dirty white rug under two beanbags, both beanbags were old and ruined. One was black, the other was like green. There was a half melted candle on a coffee table that was missing a leg. The table was dark oak wood and had a glass center.
Blood bath walked behind one of the Chairs and opened a broken mini fridge. It was pink and had several cute stickers. There were a few cans of warm sodas inside with a container of melted ice cream. Blood bath grabbed two of the warm soda cans and got into one of the chairs, crybaby going into the other. Blood bath handed his friend one.
” … It’s so weird. “ Crybaby thought aloud. “ what is? “ Blood bath asked, opening his soda can and taking a sip. “… our life. It’ll never be the same. Even if they rebuild peace in the country. We’ll never be able to go back to our normal lives… “ Crybaby said sadly, knowing that whatever happens here will scar them forever and they will have to live with the knowledge of their friends and family killing and hurting each other and themselves. “ Yeah… I guess you’re right. It won’t be the same, but it’ll be better than now. “ Blood bath took another sip of his soda, he was well aware of the death and suffering of others around him yet never letting it get to him as far as he was concerned.
”… Even after this is over, if it ever is, will you still be my friend? “ Crybaby asked, only now opening his soda and drinking a bit of it. “ Of course I will! I’d never stop being your friend! “ Blood bath said, never would he stop being friends with Crybaby. He cares so much about his friend. “… Thank you, Blood bath.” Crybaby smiled. “ Mhm! You’re welcome! “ Blood bath had a bright, happy smile as he looked at his best friend.
A few hours passed as the boys talked and rummaged through the boxes for any snacks or things of interest, Lila soon walking down the stairs leading to the basement and making herself known. “ Boys! I made you two lunch! Come upstairs! “ Seconds after she walked back up to the kitchen, Blood bath and Crybaby came following moments after. “ Thank you mom! “ “ Thanks Ms Lila! “ The Two boys happily sat at their spots of the table , Lila sat down by the two at the end of the table with a coffee and a bag of chips. Crybaby and Blood bath both were given whatever food that was saved from the day before.
“ Mom. When it stops raining, can me and blood bath go to the park? “
” hm. I don’t see why not… just be very very careful! ”
