(F/N) P.o.v

It's one thing to go shopping alone or with your friends and family, but it's another to go with a bunch of serial killers, homicidal maniacs and your new-found boyfriend.

"Jeff! I told you to get your filthy hands away from Virus!!!"

"Oh yeah!? Well maybe she WANTS my 'filthy' hands near her!!"

"She does not!! Tell him sweetie!"

"He's not bothering me BEN."

"Haha!! Told you!"

"SHES JUST BEING POLITE!!"

"Sally, this would look super cute on you. Here, go try it on."

"Only if you try this one!!!"

"Are you kidding?? Here, you try this one and you this. They'll look so much better."

"No one asked you Trender!!"

"Offender!! Stop molesting the poor mannequins. They are much too cute for your hands."

"Oh shut it. At least I'm not touching people this time."

"You shouldn't be touching ANYONE!!"

I sighed, smiling a little. I hadn't had a large number of friends over my life, I had a few really close ones, but it's nice to hang out with other people every now and then.

Perhaps I could introduce my friends to these guys?

I looked back over at Offender perving on everything he could get his hands on with Splendor trying to stop him, Jane beating Trender with her bag and Sally laughing and Jeff being yelled at by BEN while Virus walked along next to them.

... maybe not.

I heard a chuckle beside me and looked up at Slenderman. He was looking down at me with a amused smile on his face.

"What?" I asked worried.

"Oh, nothing darling. Just, you seem so at home here somehow. Most people would at least feel a little uncomfortable hanging out with a group such as this. The most I can tell, which is a lot, the only thing you seem to be is a little shy. Which, by the way, is very cute." A light blush spread across my face and Slendy smiled again. The smile was true, genuine and gave me butterflies, my blush going crazy. Something brushed against my hand and I looked down at it. Slender's hand was slowly intertwining with mine and, nervously, I linked our fingers together, but looked at the ground and walked a little faster. I could hear him chuckle behind me but walk along with my pace.

During the day, I grew to be very close to all the people in our group. Jane and Trender helped me pick out about a million clothes to try on, and somehow, managed to buy and pay for most of it. A couple of the shops we went to came up and started fawning over Trender. As it turned out, he owned most of the fashion franchise's, making millions on clothes alone.

Offender did eventually stop trying to 'come on' to everything and everyone in site and he and Splendor spent a lot of their time talking with me, showing me things they liked and pointing out all the people that were either really cute or attractive.

Sally and I spent some time together looking at toys, movies and other kids things, buying a few to watch and play with later, after Jane made her promise not to hurt me.

BEN, Jeff and Virus were really funny to watch. Jeff took every opportunity to annoy the other boy, Virus being the main point of it all. She and I had a few conversations about them, tuns out she did like BEN but found it amusing to watch him try. She didn't talk much and at points it seemed like she would 'glitch' and static noises could be faintly heard, but other then that she was quite nice.

A time later we took a break to have lunch. Everyone broke off to separate parts of the food court to get their desired meal, I walked over to the place that served (F/f), Slender trailing along behind me. We stopped a little ways away to check out the menu.

"What are you getting?" I said, our hands still intertwined.

"I don't really eat." He replied with a slightly disgusted expression.

"Oh, come on. You must eat something?"

"Well I did..." I thought about it when,

"Oh. OH! Right, well... um. Uh... h-how about some (food)? You might find you like it?"

"... fine."

A young woman with HUGE breasts and curly strawberry blond hair was waiting at the counter when we walked up. She wore the stores uniform with the top button undone showing off her 'assets' more then it was supposed to.

"Hi what can I get- Wow!!" She suddenly exclaimed noticing Slenderman. "And what might your name be?" Slender gave a kind of... polite glare. I honestly don't know how he did it but thats what it was.

"Sebastian. And this," He said holding me closer to him, "is my girlfriend, (F/N)."

"Her?" The girl gave a snort of disapproval.

"Is something the matter?" Slender replied, obviously annoyed.

"Well, it's just... you're so attractive!"

"And your point is?"

"Well just... look at her! You're obviously much more attractive then she is, you are way out of her league. She doesn't even come close!"

Drip.

W-what? I put a hand up to my face only to find tears pooling in my eyes and dripping down my face. N-no. No no no no no. I can't cry. Not here. Not now... But the tears just kept coming. It didn't take long before Slender noticed. He bent down to my hight and began wiping away tears, much like he had done the night we met, except this time, I could see all the emotion in his eyes. All the rage he felt, the pain, the hurt.

"You know, you could just ditch her and come home with me." The girl said, still trying her luck. Giving an immensely pissed off expression, Slender stood up and faced away from her. He made some kind of hand signal at the group, who, by now was sitting around a table a small distance away. In an instant, they were by our side, all looking at Slender to me and back again.

"I need you to take (F/N) away for a bit, back to the house or something will suffice, just get her away from here." He said to them before leaning down again. "(F/N), I'll be home soon ok? I promise. I love you." My tears stopped as I registered what he had said.

"I-I-I-I l-love you t-too. I love y-you." I choked out, a small smile on my face but tears from all the words the girl had said still trickling down. "D-don't k-k-kill her..." I said as my voice trailed of, feeling myself loose consciousness the last words I heard were;

"I won't, I promised. I love you." And a brilliant red accompanied by a scream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke, I was laying on my bed at Slenderman's house, the blinds had been drawn and a faint glow form the setting sun shone through. I slowly sat up, my head throbbing a little.

"Hey, hey. Easy there sunshine." A males voice spoke.

"It's alright. You'll be fine in a minute." Another voice, a females, said a little closer. I vaguely felt someones hand on my back and lent into the persons side, crying a little.

"Hey, hey, hey... shh. It's ok now. You're fine." I looked up at the voice to find it was Jane and then over to the end of my bed to Splendor holding a huge bag with a popular brands name written over it.

"L-Look!! See (F/N)-chan!" He began plying things out of the bag and placing them around me. I looked around at the objects. A soft blanket sat around my shoulders, five stuffed animals of different sizes were all crammed in my lap and a assortment of candy's, chocolates and foreign foods lay all around in front of me. Upon looking, I found the largest of the teddies to be pure white with a little jacket and red tie.

"Oh! I choose that one! Do you like it?" Splendor looked at me hopeful and worried. I gave a little laugh and picked it up staring at it before hugging it close to my chest.

"I love it. Thank you so, so much."

"(F/N)!!" A new voice called. Slenderman had appeared out of nowhere and immediately came to my side enveloping me in the tightest hug he could without hurting me. I started sobbing again and hugged him back. The other two smiled and left the room, leaving us. Me crying into him and Slender holding me like I was the only thing that would ever matter. I felt so at home. This was were I was supposed to be. This was home.
