"Jeremy?" Was all he could utter out.

"Micha!? W-What are you doing here?" Jeremy asked sweetly, and it would've been cute had he not been covered head to toe with blood, holding a large knife in his hand, and a string of intestines in the other.

"Jeremy what the hell is going on here!?" Michael yelled and Jeremy looked over at Jared and back at Michael.

"He got in my way Love." Jeremy cooed, dropping the bloody intestines and making his way towards Michael and forcing him into a kiss.

Michael pushed away and stared at Jeremy in horror.

"What's wrong Micha? Do my lips taste weird?"

"J-Jeremy...you're trying to KILL Jared!! What do you think is wrong!?" Michael yelled harshly. Jeremy didn't change his demeanor though, he continued feigning his sweetness as he got closer to Michael.

They were eventually against the wall and Jeremy felt Michael's pocket and quickly forced his hand in, to Michael's dismay, and grabbed the medicine out.

"Jeremy get the hell off of me! I'm calling the cops on you! This is insane!!" Michael was silenced as Jeremy put a hand on his mouth.

"Shush now Love. I'm going to protect you, that's what I'm doing now...That's why I had to get rid of Evan...and Connor...oh and Dustin too...just relax and you'll be safe." Jeremy gently released his hand and poured the medicine into the taller boy's mouth.

Michael's body wasn't as tense after Jeremy finished.

"Now, I'm gonna take your phone okay?" Jeremy asked and Michael nodded slowly, almost falling over. Thank goodness you're weak to medicine... or else I'd be screwed. Jeremy took the phone out of Michael's pocket and turned it on, locking it with a password Michael didn't know.

He turned it off and sat it down, and helped sit his boyfriend down.

"Now now, relax Love, we'll be home soon." Jeremy kissed Michael's head and turned around, walking towards Jared, his calm persona completely vanishing. "Now where were we?" Jeremy twirled the knife as if it were a drumstick.

"Did you fucking drug him!?" Jared coughed up blood after that.

"No no, I just sedated him."

"You're insane!! He's your boyfriend, he's going to be absolutely horrified of you after this."

"No, no he won't. He'll still love me. He'll always love me. No. Matter. What." Jeremy began pulling Jared's organs out slowly, listening to his cries of pain. "That's right Jared, scream. Scream away all that guilt from trying to take me away from MY Micha!!" Jeremy began violently tugging the organs and throwing them into a bucket, enjoying the blood splashing.

Eventually Jared was basically empty, aside from his lungs and heart.

"You wanna see Evan again right?" Jeremy asked sweetly, and Jared shot him a glare before nodding weakly. He'd given up completely on fighting with Jeremy, there was no point in it. "Well you'll be with him soon." Jeremy grabbed Jared's heart and began pulling it out. "Evan will be thrilled to see you..."

Everything sounded like Jared was underwater. Jeremy giggles echoing in his head as his vision blackened and his heartbeat slowed. It eventually stopped and his eyes closed...the only thing on his mind being the incredibly adorable Evan Hansen...

Jeremy unhinged Jared's body and did as usual, throwing it into the furnace and watching it burn. He carried the bucket of organs over and dumped them into the fire as well, basking in the smell he'd learned to love.

After cleaning up his mess he changed clothes and picked up Michael, nuzzling Michael's neck softly, trying to wake him up.

He didn't wake up until they got home, Jeremy locking the door behind them.

He sat Michael on the couch and kissed him, trying to wake him up.

His eyes fluttered open and he looked up at Jeremy, shaking at the thought of being with a killer.

"Hello Love." Jeremy whispered and Michael didn't really like when Jeremy brought him into a tight embrace. "You alright?" He asked sweetly and Michael didn't say anything.

Jeremy pulled the medicine out and only poured a very small amount into the lid and smiled softly at Michael.

"Micha, Sweet, I want you to drink this okay?" Jeremy cooed, placing a hand on Michael's cheek gently. It was the third time he'd done this to Michael but he knew it wouldn't kill him.

Michael didn't say anything. He didn't know WHAT to say. He loved Jeremy and he realized if he called the cops... he'd lose him again, and with his dependency issues, he'd go insane himself.

So...

He let Jeremy give him the medicine. He let it go down his throat and let it sedate him. He let himself fall into Jeremy's embrace loosely...he let himself fall in love with a psycho.

Jeremy played with his dark hair and kissed his forehead.

"You know I love you, right Micha?" Jeremy was very gentle about everything he did and said. Michael slowly nodded and let himself hug Jeremy. "Good....Now do you love me?"

"Yes..." Michael mumbled and Jeremy smiled.

"Good, that's a good Michael. You're never gonna leave me are you?"

"No..."

"You're gonna let me protect you forever correct?"

"Mmhm..."

"You know you belong to me... right?" Jeremy's voice slowly snapped but quickly turned sweet again.

"Y-Yeah...." Michael's eyes slowly closed and Jeremy gently tapped his cheek.

"Hey don't go to sleep yet. I made you something." Jeremy grabbed his backpack and pulled the painting out. "I made it during class today, whaddya think Love?"

"It's amazing." Michael whispered, hardly audible...heck he wasn't even aware of what he was doing because of how drugged he was.

Jeremy turned on the television and to his annoyance, the news was on.

"This just in, three teenagers and a possible fourth have been reported missing in Middleborough, New Jersey. All four of them were males, here are their photos on screen." Pictures of Dustin, Evan, Connor, and Jared appeared on the TV. Jeremy turned it off and focused on Michael again.

"Don't worry about a thing alright, I have everything under control. " Jeremy gently kissed Michael's cheek, barely getting a reaction, other than a gentle nod.

Michael eventually fell asleep, and Jeremy gently caressed his cheek and stared at him in awe. He didn't need to say the insane things he was thinking as he stared at his beautiful boyfriend.

If only he knew what was going on in Michael's mind. The poor boy was horrified of what he'd saw but was so infatuated with Jeremy that he didn't want to give him up.

So he chose Jeremy...over his own health. If he hadn't, Jeremy would have made him...no matter what.
