Guess who's back!! Band trip was great and I got to write a little on the plane ride to and from. (Mostly slept for it but I did my best) Hope you enjoy this random one-shot I came up with. Also, sorry if I forgot anyone, there's just too many!
Jonathan's POV
Most people wonder why I wear my mask. Some say that I just wish to remain anonymous, while others say I'm self-conscious. Both ideas are partly true, but the main reason is because I'm a monster. Not even my lovers know what I look like, no one does. Except for my parents, but they're both dead and their blood is on my hands.
~flashback~
"Honey, what's wrong with our precious little boy!" My mother wailed while huddling behind my father. "I bet it's the work of those doctors that claimed to know how to cure him!" Father declared. "iT waS NO oNe." Delirious spoke darkly. "yoU LeFT hiM aLl ALoNe fOR mAny YeARs, AbsOrBEd iN yOUr wOrK. NEveR sPeNT tIme WItH hIM sO He CReaTed Me tO KEep hIm oCCuPieD." It was all true. My mother was a lawyer, always cooped up in her office researching her client's history and activities while my dad was an architect. People called me a freak at school and I got beat up constantly. They were never home.
~current time~
The group was in our living room, we all had bought a house for us all to share after college. Some were in the kitchen, some were swimming in the pool out back, and the rest are playing video games. I was inside and on the couch with the guys playing the Wii U. We were playing Mario Kart and Tyler was whooping everyone's asses. After a few rounds, Brian came in from the pool, and joined our game. This caused Tyler to not get first, rage, and storm off to the pool to try to cool off while the others were just laughing. Me on the other hand, I silently cried behind my mask. Fresh, hot tears rolling down their usual paths, rolling down my neck and seeping into my shirt. It all hid behind the fake laugh I've given for so long. Unfortunate memories flew by my mind, making the tears fall faster. All the years of being bullied just because of my mask made me want to run, and so I did. I jumped up from my seat and quickly ran to my room. There, I opened my window and climbed out. I shut the curtains before I shut the window, making it look like I didn't leave through this way. A cool breeze drifted under my mask, in a way that a mother would wipe her child's tears away. "WhaT ARe yOu gOInG tO DO?" Delirious asks, his figure flowing out of my body and reforming next to me. He looked exactly like me, but with ghostly white skin and electric blue eyes. His nails turned into sharp black blades that oozed blue goo. "I don't know anymore Del. I wish these painful memories could just disappear." We sat on the edge of the roof, feet dangling and swinging back and forth. "yoU CoUld AlwAYs rUn, LivE yOur LiFe oN yoUr oWn, OR jUmP dOWn anD sTaRt a nEW liFE." Suicide never crossed my mind, so I started making a pro vs cons list in my head. A pro would be that I don't have to deal with these memories, but a con would be leaving my lovers behind and I don't want to make them sad. Plus what would happen to my channel? According to my fans I've saved their lives before so if I go then some of my fans might. I hope not though, they don't know what I go though. "I'm not jumping. What I should do is tell the guys, but I don't want them to worry." I stand up to head back inside, but Delirious beats me to it and locks the window. "nO. I kNOw iF yOU Go aNd tElL tHEm, iLL dIsAPPeaR sO iM gOInG tO mAkE yOU sUFfeR." He advances towards me and I take a shaky step back. Soon, my foot slides off and I nearly fall off. Delirious gets in my face, eyes glowing brighter than usual and a smirk prominent on his face. Next thing I know, he retracts his arms, only to come forward and push me off the roof. My surroundings fly around me and I scream a (somewhat) manly scream. The ground collides with the back of my head and I black out.
Tyler's POV
I heard a shout from around the bend. When I alerted the others and ran over, there lay Jonathan with a dark shadow looming over him. Blood slowly seeped onto the concrete road and the figure disappeared into Jonathan. Craig ran over and hid behind me. I ran over to Jon and picked up his unconscious body. Blood trickled down my wrists to my elbows and color drained his face. "Mini, call the ambulance! No no no Jon stay with us, me if anything!" I took off my jacket and wrapped it around his head, trying to stop the blood.
About 10 minutes later, the crew sat in the waiting room of the hospital Jon was brought to. We all sat nervously, bouncing our knees or playing with our thumbs. It had been over 2 hours and there was no sign about Jon. Finally, after what had seemed to be forever, a nurse came out with a clipboard in hand. "Johnathan?" Everyone instantly perked up at the sound of our dear friend's name. We all had liked him for a while now, plus he even knew about our poly relationship. At the end of the party, the crew had decided to ask him if he'd accept all of our feelings and join the relationship. That is, until all of this happened. I could tell by the look on all of our faces that we were heartbroken. None of us wanted to see him in this state, so that led me to thinking, "How did this even happen?" The nurse led us through a series of hallways, passing many rooms. Some with patients, some waiting for one. When we finally arrived to Jon's room, Luke had gone first because he was the closest to him out of all of us.
Luke's POV
When I walked past the curtains blocking Jon from our sights, my heart broke. There lay Jonathan, all fucked up with wires and shit connected to his body as if he was a cyborg recharging. His skin had turned white, arms unnaturally thin, hair was a mess. I walked over to the chair that was beside the bed and pulled it closer to Jonathan. I laced our fingers together and rubbed slow, lazy circles on the back of his hand. "Jon, I hope you can hear me. The guys miss you a shit ton and it's not the same without your crazy laughter. Everyday just seems a little more bland without you around." The heart monitor beeps at a steady pace, signaling that his heart is still working. I get up from my spot and head out to the guys. "He's steady. Doesn't look great but he's still alive." Tyler and Evan release a heavy sigh, Lui, Craig, and Ryan wipe their tears, Brian and Brock cheer and hug it out. Bryce walks up to me, "I think we should have someone stay while the rest of the guys go home. We can switch in shifts if that makes everyone happy." Oh Bryce, always thinking of others. I nodded my head and gave him a hug, proceeded to tell the rest of the crew about our plan, and left without Lui because he wanted to take the first shift.
Lui's POV
I watched the rest of my lovers go through the window, then sat down in the seat below. Evan had promised me that he'd bring me back food for lunch and a phone charger because I was currently at 62%. Great. The wifi here wasn't too bad so I checked my social media. There was a lot of questions related to our YouTube channels, but the more recent ones were about Delirious. I replied to them all in one huge post, telling them that he's fine, and shut my phone off. I get up and walk around, looking at my surroundings while keeping an eye on Jon. Suddenly, I hear shifting then a groan come from the bed. "L-Lui? What happened?" I rush to his side and explain everything Tyler had told me before he left. "Oh well, you see, Delirious had come out earlier than I had expected causing me to get a little weary so Delirious took this as a chance to cause harm to my physical form. Also ave you realized that I'm not wearing my mask?" He was right, he wasn't. His eyes shone bright, chocolate hair sticking in different directions, and those little freckles littered from ear to ear. I started to blush, good thing everyone else in the relationship like him too. Jonathan laughs then clutches his head and groans. "Ugh fuck my head. I guess I landed on my head when you found me, right?" I shook my head. "Actually, Tyler found you and alerted us. He had put his jacket under your head to prevent blood loss but Craig still called the ambulance." He looked down at his thumbs twirling around each other. I pulled out my phone and called Tyler, one ring... two rings... "Hello?" The voices of the guys flood the background. "Hey Tyler, Jon woke up not too long ago so I thought you'd want to know and all." "Hey guys, Jon's up! Thanks for telling me Lui, we're just about home so we'll pick up things and be back at the hospital in about an hour. Do you think we'll tell him how all of us feel?" I started to pace back and forth, Jonathan's eyes glued to me. "I don't know man, I wouldn't mind but you'd have to ask the rest of the guys." "Okay, see you later. I'll text you are decision when we arrive at the hospital." I put my phone away and sit in the chair next to Johnathan. "Tyler told me when he found you, a dark shadow disappeared into your body. Care to explain?" Jon looked at me and sighed. "I was only 3 when I created Delirious. I would talk to him everyday because my parents always left me alone at home. Eventually Delirious got his own brain and emotions, so when my parents were leaving for another trip, he killed them because he was mad. I didn't do anything." My hand intertwined with his and rubbed circles on the back of his hand. "It's okay, we'll help you." Jon yanked his hand away from mine. "No, you can't. You'll get harmed along with the rest of the crew! I care about you guys way too much, so that's why I never told anyone about Delirious." I embraced him in a hug, which he slowly returned. "Don't worry, we can fend for ourselves."
~Time skip~ (oh shit isn't this the first one in this one-shot, isn't)
The guys had finally returned, Tyler had texted me after I had told him what Jonathan had told me earlier, causing me to become suddenly anxious. When a knock on the door sounded out, I quickly got up to answer. I was face-to-face with Evan's arms wrapped around Craig, Brock, Brian, and Ryan holding hands, and Tyler holding some blue flowers in a vase. Stepping aside, my lovers stepped into the room and crowded around Jonathan. Each person held one or two cards, the order spelling out, "We love you!" I held out the bouquet of flowers Tyler had brought up and shyly said, "We love you with all of our hearts and we hope you do too." Jonathan's ears and nose turned a slight pink, compared to everyone else's red hot faces, for they have never seen him without his mask. "I-I love you all too, I was just scared to tell you cause i wasn't sure if you all liked me." Jonathan laughed his signature laugh and wiped a tear away. "Come here ya dickhead!" Craig envelopes Jon in a hug, leading to one massive group hug.
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT
