Slide. Slide. Slide.

You were dragging your feet towards your tall boyfriend, Asahi. Your shoulders were slumped and the frown on your face was unfaltering. Sadness was emitting off of you.

Asahi jumped slightly at your down expression.

You're usually this hyperactive, talkative thing that is usually smiling even when it hurts. The fact that you're showing true emotions meant something was definitely up.

"Hey, Y/N, are you okay? What's wrong?" He asked, gently.

"My grandma died." You answered in a low voice.

"Oh. I'm sorry."

Just like that, you perked up, as if it didn't affect you 5 seconds ago. You shrugged it off.

"It's ok. I never met her. So, can we go visit her house?" You say with a pleading smile and eyes.

"What?! After she died?" Asahi was still shaken by your sudden mood change. Not to mention the creepy suggestion. You nodded.

"People say it's haunted. I want to find out if it's true or not. It could clear my grandmother's name. Please, Asahi! You don't want my grandma to be known as a witch, do you?" You begged.

"I-I don't know about this..."

"Pleaseee!"

Time to pull out the trump card!

puppy dog eyes.

"Fine." He sigh in defeat. You turned to hide your smirk. It works every time.

"Yay! You're the best!" You cheered, throwing him into a hug. 

"He's soft." You heard your brother Yuu mutter.

"YUU!! Shut up!" Yuu started running. "Get back here!" You chased after him down the hall.

Even a blind person could tell you were siblings.

Asahi fake cried to himself in pity. He was soft.

He perked up at the possible option.

Maybe you weren't serious.

~~~

You were serious.

"I didn't know it was really black." You admitted as Asahi stayed closely behind you.

He still couldn't believe you were serious. Here the two of you were, in front of some random old lady's house. The neighborhood screamed dangerous and he honestly already hated it here already! This was beyond creepy.

"Hey, Y/N, I don't think we should go inside..." Asahi muttered to you, eyeing the neighbor's dog that was drooling out a storm.

"Of course we should! But! Before we go in, I have to tell you the legends or it wouldn't be any fun."

"I'm sure it would be a lot more fun if you didn't..."

"They say Grandma kept wolves and turned them into werewolves to guard the place." 

Asahi sunk low. 

"They also say the ghost of the people she killed roam around in there killing everyone who enters."

Asahi sunk lower.

"They say she kept the corpses to make dinner for her beloved diseased rats."

Asahi was to the ground. 

"This'll be fun~!" You cheered. You smiled as you glanced at your shivering boyfriend. "I'll be with you the entire time. No worries." 

He looked over to you, took a deep breath, then nodded.

"O-Ok." You grabbed his hand and you pulled the brown haired baby inside. The halls were pitch black which was to be expected. Always prepared, you pulled out a flashlight.

"Where do you think the werewolves are at?" You asked.

"I don't know and I don't want to know." He told you, gripping your hand.

"Listen." You pointed to an open door at the end of the hall. A dim light gleamed out, barely in sight. 

A faint shout came from the room. 'Help' was screamed over and over.

"That sounds familiar." Asahi pointed out.

"Let's go check it out!" You suggest, running to the door.

"Wait!" Asahi ran after you, not wanting to be alone. Honestly, who would? When you both went into the room, you saw Tanaka in a cage. "Tanaka? What are you doing here?"

"I was looking around the house with Noya, but the werewolves took him and left me in this stupid cage! This is so unfair!" Tanaka complained, shaking the bars. 

"We'll get you out of the- wait, werewolves? What did they look like?"

"Huh?!"

"Could you focus?!"

"Oh right."

You knelt down and unlocked the cage. 

"I can't believe you were dumb enough to get captured by brainless mutts. After all the horror movies we've seen, you should be an expert about now." You scolded, shaking your head in disappointment.

"Why is that what you're focused on?"

"I-" You were cut off by a black figure appearing from the shadows, placing one of it's long disgusting fingers on Tanaka's shoulder, sending chills down all three of their spines.

"You... You are coming with me." It spoke in a low voice.

"No way!!" Tanaka tried to run, but the back of his shirt was jerked back, making the baldy tumble down on his butt. As his leg was being dragged away, he looked up at the two's horrified expressions.

"First the cage now this?!"

Before anyone could move...

Before anyone could think...

They were gone.

Asahi whipped his head towards you, legs shaking, lip quivering. "Can we go now?!" Asahi asked, utterly terrified.

"Nope. We gotta find Yuu and Tanaka! They could be in trouble!"

"'Could be'?!" After being dragged away by some thing and being captured by werewolves, and all they get is a 'could be'?! 

"Come on, Asahi! Be brave Asahi." You encouraged the boy, gripping his hand. You kissed his cheek in comfort. "How about you stay here and I look for them?" But before Asahi could respond, you were already walking out of the room.

"Y/n! Wait!"

"Don't worry! I'll call if I- what the-?! Hey- AAHHH!!"

"Y/N!!" Asahi snatched the flashlight and rushed towards your spot. He looked around, but there was no sign of you anywhere. "Y-Y-Y/N...?" He glanced down to see your hair piece on the ground and next to it, the wood was scratched to form a message.

We've got them all... And you're next...

"!!!"

"A-ASAHI!?" Your voice screamed out from the dark.

"Y/N?!" His reaction stopped short.

A hand. A hand had grabbed his ankle. The long fingers wrapped around it, pulling him back, making him collapse on his stomach.

"Ack!"

"I warned you." With a quick pull, Asahi was dragged away, screaming.

"HELP!!!"

~~~

Asahi shivered as he opened his eyes. He had been let go. He was all alone. All over again. Where was Tanaka or Noya? Where was Y/N? Where was he? His heart leapt to his throat as he heard footsteps coming closer and closer to him.

Fear rammed into his heart as he slowly turned his head.

"I-I...!!"

A single hand reached out and pointed to him.

"You... You..."

"Please!! Just let me and my friends go!!!" 

As the hand reached out for him, he covered his face with his hands, a shriek letting out.

The light switch flashed on.

"YOU'RE ONE YEAR OLDER~!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASAHI!!" You, Tanaka, and Yuu yelled out, grinning like idiots.

"...Huh?"

"Come eat your cake!"

"It's strawberry!"

"But... But the door....the figure....the pulling-" Asahi choked out, confused. His brain was overloading. It was all... a prank?

"Thin fishing line. The figure: Yuu. It IS my grandma's house though. My mom said we could use it! I thought scaring you would be fun!" You explained shamelessly.

"Most confusing birthday ever." He muttered. You laughed.

"Glad you love it. Now eat your cake before I do!" He chuckled. Well, at least your smiling. That's all that matters.
