TAKES PLACE A YEAR AFTER FREE MAN

(Reader's 1st POV // Henry's 1st POV. You guys aren't together yet, might be angsty, with a hint of horror... This is my first fanfic that has a horror theme to it... I'll try my best, even though I've never wrote horror before! And Murderer!Henry is just a code name for Yandere!Henry. I'm just embarrassed okay? Hope you enjoy!)

   Honestly, I would never have believed that Henry was able to get out of that situation, especially with that change of attitude.

   Ever since Henry managed to escape from the Toppat Orbital Space Station presumed dead, he's been keeping a pretty low-profile. So, he currently works at my workplace, which is a completely boring office place. He also goes by Henry Steckson. He sure is creative isn't he...

   But that's not what I am only here to talk about. Once he escaped... He seemed very... attached and clingy towards me. He hugs me from behind, he sometimes carries me bridal style, and he's even been gifting me plushies, jewelry, and even small portions of (F/F)! (Favorite Food) We live in the same neighborhood, so I think he's just trying to show that I'm not single.

   I am totally NOT the kind of girl/boy/person to be in a relationship!!

   But really though... I guess I do get a warm feeling when I'm around him. But we're not together yet! The hugs and kisses we sometimes do at work is just to show that I am NOT looking for a relationship!... Stop looking at me like that!

   However... I've noticed that he's... a lot more cheerful ever since he escape the Toppats. And there's a small feeling of uneasiness I get when I'm around him as well.
The feeling intensifies tenfold whenever I'm around a male friend. Especially when I'm around that perverted, abusive jerk at work, Jerry...

   In fact... I feel a strange feeling like he's broken out of a 'certain person who's been controlling his decisions'' grasp.

   Eh, probably not. It's just a wild guess anyways...

   Right now, I was heading to the normal department me and Henry worked at, the department for managing the Center for Chaos Containment's budget and debts, until a rough, heavy-American voice whistled from the entrance to the department.

   Goddammit. It's Jerry.

  "Well, well, well, look who's shown up all foxy," Jerry said, walking outside to meet me. "What's cookin', good lookin'?"

   For a first impression to widowed women, Jerry would be the pinnacle of a 'bear dad' material. However, if you know him well enough, you would know that he's nothing more than a manipulative skirt chaser. His main targets are women that look like school girls or even school girls themselves... And here's a quote from him that I overheard in the office:
''Don't matter if they ain't at the age, age's just an illusion, just like my truck havin' wings.''

☟ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPH FOR MALES/OTHER GENDERS☟

   What confuses is me is that he comes after me! I'm not even a girl... Just what is this guy's standards?

   Eugh.

   "I'm just heading to my department, don't you have work in the Cheaterou Chips Department?" I growled at him angrily.

  "Now now, lovely, you're not like all them city folk," He said, suddenly pinning me against a nearby wall. "You've got an air of a criminal to ya. Or is that just because one was hangin' around you..? Who knows... Let's strike while the iron is hot~."

   I grimaced in disgust. He's tried this trick on so many women, so many times. I could really care less about some sweaty neckbeard trying to flirt with me.

   Suddenly, I felt murderous presence cut through the so-called 'sexual' tension. Even Jerry noticed it, and looked immediately away, embarrassed to see if anyone caught him in the act.

   And someone did. That was Henry Steckson, rumored to actually be Henry Stickmin, the legendary thief. Thank the Stick Gods, my savior is here!

   He slowly walked over to us with a calm, but angered expression. For some reason... I felt like he was much more angrier than he seemed to be.

  "Jerry Jerrington... Aren't you supposed to be helping your brother, Jamie?" He said as he approached Jerry, he was frozen in his tracks.

   Henry Steckson, or Henry Stickmin, has gained quite the name for himself in the Managing of Departments Department. Apparently, he had recently graduated to CMO, which is definitely a major role.

  "H-how could I forget about that rambunctious brother of mine?! If he were to die there, I would knock my body dead faster than you could say 'Scrouge Mucgucket!' See ya soon, chief!" And with that Jerry quickly retreated, without looking back.

  That bastard deserved it! I gave a small sigh of relief and tackled Henry with a bear hug. "Thanks so much Henry. I can't believe I forgot my Anti-Jerry Repellent..."

  Henry smiled and laughed at my small joke. "It's all in a day's work, dear..." He said as he looked down at me with a calm, strangely loving face. "Besides, the committee's been considering to fire him. His behavior is bothering the others." 

  "Really? Well they should fire him quick, I do NOT want to deal with him again..." Suddenly, I noticed the time on a clock nearby. Crap, don't want to be late! "Oh, once again, thanks again Henry, I've gotta get to my office!"

   I waved goodbye to Henry as I headed into the office. Now, time to get working!

   What does that damned fucker think he is?

   Trying to steal my treasure is he? Trying to trespass on HER RIGHTFUL PROPERTY? Luckily, I can take show him who's boss without anybody choosing what I'll do. No mistakes, no fails. All Success.

   If he intends on continuing with flirting with my precious Y/N, I'll take away everything that he loves. Now, I just need to knock down the domino to trigger the suicide...

   So get it through your head. It's not you, It's Me.

  "Jamie," I walked up to a man that looked like Jerry Jerrington's twin, if he looked like a successful, happy, husband, that is. "We need your help. Follow me."

   Jamie was a bit confused at first, but he obeyed, and followed me. Yes, yes, don't let anything else distract you. Just follow me.

   Soon, we arrived in a secluded, abandoned lounge room, which Jamie was a bit suspicious of.

  "Hey, uh-- sir," He started the conversation, looking around with a suspicious look in his eye. "You gonna fire me or something?"

  I shook my head. "No, absolutely not, Jamie. I actually wanted to bring you here because I was thinking of leaving the committee, and putting you in my position." I whispered.

  Jamie's face lit up like he had just seen a 4th of July Firework. "Really, sir?!?" He whisper-shouted with happiness. I smiled and nodded.

  He smiled even brighter, and embraced me into a tight hug. "Oh sir, you're the best manager I've ever had! I'll miss you with all that I am, oh, just think about my happy, fatass bro-"

*SHINK* *SHINK*

  "S-sir..." I grinned wide and watched as he fell to the ground with a multiple stab wounds to the chest.

  "Blame your thoughtless, rxpist, brother. He caused me to steal your life." I left without looking back, and went to the restroom.

   All will go according to plan.

  "Two dead bodies were found at Mr. WorlWay Skyscraper, one being in an abandoned lounge room with several stab wounds, while the other was almost identical to the other body, but have seen to have committed suicide by jumping off the Skyscraper. There were bloody foot prints that led to a nearby bathroom that belonged to Jerry Jerrington, a sibling to the murdered body."

   A suicide AND a murder... all on the same day I was hit on by Jerry... Today's a scary day. I'm so happy Henry's here to comfort me though...

   I hugged Henry as I watched the news with an upset face. Henry... He's a special one. I really do like him... Maybe...

  "Jerry... Jamie... They were stupid, but they couldn't have deserved death..." He whispered as he held my free hand softly. My face reddened slightly.

  "I hope their families are okay. But, now, since we have a day off," I began, trying to look at the bright side of life. "We shouldn't mourn their deaths too much. They wouldn't want that. How about we get some Rascin-Boddins, and hope for the best of their lives in heaven?"

  Henry gave me a mysterious, but happy smile. Was he... blushing? "Sure, I guess."

  "Okay, I'll be getting F/I/C, what about you?"

  "Red Velvet."
