"Nessa, who was that boy? He looks really sad, does he also have no friends?"
...

"That little boy is Michael's brother. He's... A little different. And strange. Don't go near him." "But why? He might be looking for a friend. I can be his friend!" "We'll see, Gregory. We'll see."

Ages: Gregory and Evan 7 (again, this is platonic. Ish. Evan is still obsessed asf. Maybe some innocent kisses will come around here and there.)
Michael and Vanessa 21 and 28.

W/ Michael and Vanessa, Pizzaplex

Vanessa's pov
"Heyy, Mike. Do you remember Gregory and I stopped at your house to return uhm... His plushie?" Michael turned to me and nodded. "Yeah?" "You know Evan saw Gregory but what if I told you... Gregory saw him too?"
...

Michael was silent for a moment. "He didn't even have his disc and I honestly think it's broken after all the fires." Michael said, still trying to process what the hell I just told him. "Yeah, that makes sense." I nod. "Did Gregory ask  about him or anything?" Michael asked, I paused before answering. "He did. And he also asked about... Befriending him."

Michael's pov

'I know damn well my hearing isn't the best but am I hearing what I'm hearing? This isn't good... I know Evan will definitely hurt this kid after how far his obsession has gone. This isn't good at all.'

"Oh. There's something I might wanna tell you before he goes on and does... That. Evan is a little ob-" Evan bursts through the door before I could even finish my sentence. "HeyMikewhatareyouandVanessatalkingabout? What's happening? Can we play now? Lizzy doesn't want to play so I thought I'd ask you. What do you want to play? Can we play hide and seek? I like that game."

I sigh, fix my mask, collect my crumbs of sanity I have left and turn to him. "I'm busy right now, Vanessa is also busy." Evan just frowns. "But... I have been considering something Vanessa said." "How would you feel about being friends with... Gregory?"

Evan's pov
Silence intensifies

"Are you high? OF COURSE I WANT TO BE GREGORY'S FRIENDD." :DDDD

I. Was. ECSTATIC. "Eh of course you do. BUT you can't hurt him at all and NO killing." "Gotitthankyouiloveyiusomuchbyee." I ran around the room and out the door, sending papers flying around the room.

Later

Gregory's pov
I began to walk home after school, once home I sat down on the floor to play with my blocks, building a tower for my toys to knock over. I hear a giggle from my closet. A distorted one and is creepy. I didn't like this.

I set my toys down, staring at the closet door. I could only see a small shadow...

"Find me, Gregory." I hear a voice say and tilt my head. "You sound funny." I said only to get a slightly sadistic sounding chuckle in return. "I suppose I do. Do you like playing hide and seek? I do. Let's play together. Find me." The voice sounds like it came from not just the closet but from everywhere at once. I pick up my teddy and search the room. As I search I hear the voice giggle and say things like "not there" when I checked the wrong spot.

"Awe... You were close." The voice said before giggling again. "I don't like this game anymore." I huffed and soon a boy was behind me. He looked like that boy from yesterday. He didn't look scary like he sounded and looked pretty normal. "Hello." He smiles, his voice is normal too and I notice a light accent.

'He just sounds different... What happened??'

I only wave and sit down with my toys, still holding my teddy close. The boy approaches and sits with me. He kind of looks like me. He reached for my face to cup it before petting my hair. "You're so cute. Has anyone ever told you?"
He says as he continues to pet my hair. I didn't mind but I was still weirded out. "Who are you?" I was curious. "You don't need to know this. Just call me CC." He wrapped arms around me to hold me and placed a kiss on my forehead.

'This boy really is strange... Is this the boy from yesterday?'

"Okay..." I say, taking note I will be calling him CC. Whatever that means.

Evan's pov
"And remember I'm your only best friend. Remember always."

'Forever, always, and even the day you're dead like me.'

I pull Gregory into a hug, resting my head on his shoulders while a grin crept onto my face. The most sadistic grin.

I'm so sorry this is late, I was writing it the other day then I told myself I'd leave the rest to write later, then forgot about it but I am glad I got it done today. Hope you enjoyed this and I love you all!
