"SCUBA NINJAS!"
My obsession for Izaya made my puppy huff and walk away from me. XD No, he seriously did that.
11121/21121 Henry just layed there, on his bed, quiet and unmoving. He just let Walter take advantage of his body again. He thought that the blond man was gone, until said man moved in front of his view of the ceiling fan.
"'Sorry. I was just distracted by the fan, I guess. I don't have anything else to look at, after all."
"There's always a world through the windows."
"That I can't explore in!" Henry sat up. "Besides..." He looked towards one of the windows. He could see a grey head falling quickly down it, and then by the giant sign. "I really would prefer... Not, to do that... I'm kind of afraid of what I would see if I were to get closer."
"But you see those kind of things all the time in here, and in the "other" worlds."
"That head belongs to one of your victims, right?"
Walter nodded. "Yes, it does. I really do wish that I wouldn't have to see his damn face ever again, though."
"Don't you control these hauntings, though?"
"Not all of them. Some of the sacraments, despite me using them already to revive mother, still haunts the place they were killed. I can't say that I understand why DeSalvo(1) and Stone haunts this place, though."
"DeSalvo and Stone?"
"Surnames of victims. Well, get dressed, and I'll wait for you-"
"Wait." Henry pulled on his blanket so it was covering his bare body. "I don't want to leave here, yet, but I don't want to be alone, either."
"So you want me to stay?" Walter tilted his head a little.
"...I just don't want to be by myself, with the different hauntings in here, but I hate you. I would rather be swallowed by the haunted apartment, than be with you."
Henry's hair was pulled on so he was staring at Walter. "What do I have to do to make you happy, huh? I can only do so much!" Tears were trying to escape the corners of Henry's eyes, so Walter let go of his hair. He sighed. "What do I have to do?"
'I made him mad!' Henry curled up into himself with his back facing Walter. "I'm sorry! I'm just... Confused. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Walter moved Henry's head so it was sitting on his lap. "Don't be. I was the one who hurt you. So much so, that you are in some sort of state of shock, even now. Just not as much as before, when you were child-like. I'm the one who should be saying "sorry." This is a lot for you to take in, I know. Being trapped like this, forever, with the one who murdered you."
"You keep on telling me that."
Walter ran his hand gently in Henry's hair. "I can probably reverse this, so you are not a solid ghost, bound to this apartment and the other world any more. However, you wouldn't be anything, but dead. You wouldn't be concious. I would bury you by the lake in the Forest World, considering that you seem to enjoy that place. I will give you an hour to think about it."
To Henry, it sounded like Walter was about to leave. "I... I didn't mean everything I said. Please, don't leave me alone!"
Walter smiled and got under the blanket to hug Henry's back. "I'm here. I'll be quiet so you can think, okay? One hour."
Henry snuggled against the pillow and sighed. "I want to "die." I already told you that."
Walter gritted his teeth together. "Just think about it for a while."
Henry decided to seriously try to think of the "good" things in this... "Life," for lack of a better word. He wasn't "dead" for very long, to know what, exactly, the rest of the world's life would be like.
Walter was trying not to move so much so Henry could think to himself without any distractions. He really wanted his pet to become his lover, sometime in the future, but that wasn't going to happen if Henry's mind was like that of a child forever. He wanted to love and be loved, by both "mother," and Henry, but he didn't want Henry to be depressed forever.
Henry couldn't help but move against Walter's chest and start crying softly. 'I don't know what to do anymore... Would I actually be part of the hauntings? Walter said that he didn't understand why some of the sacraments were haunting this place, after all.'
"If I decide to keep on err... "Living," can I change my mind in the future, just in case?"
"I don't think I can do that. I might get too attached to you." Walter ran his hand down to Henry's hips, but it stopped there.
1. "I want to "die"
Henry squeezed his eyes shut. "Stop... I don't want this. I don't want to be your sex slave forever, and I don't want to "live" in fear forever... "Kill" me."
Walter moved Henry's head so he could slip his tongue inside of his mouth. He pulled back eventually to lick away Henry's tears. He placed his hand on Henry's head. "You'll probably want to close your eyes."
"Walter." He gasped. "Thank you for doing this." He closed his eyes. He tried emptying his thoughts so he didn't have to change his mind when it's too late...
2. "I want to "live."
Henry grabbed Walter's wrist. "Stop... I'll... Take my chances. I'm scared. I don't want to know that I'm going to "die." I would rather you kill me when I least expect it."
"I don't think you would ever actually "die," then."
"That's... Okay... I might actually be able to answer in about a week. Do you get easily attached to things?"
Walter shrugged. "I'm already pretty attached to you."
"It can't be too bad, being concious forever like this... Can it?"
11121/21121 I'm sorry for the bad endings. I had two of them, because I thought that some people wouldn't like Henry just dying and then "thee end."
...I'm sorry if this isn't as good as my other Walter/Henry fics.
(1) It was DeSalvo's head, and not Braintree... Brantree? Richard's, right?
