I'd just got home from f/n's house and was exhausted. I loved them to death but they always had a way of keeping me way too late, not that it was always a bad thing. Sometimes I didn't want to go home, I knew my parents would just bombard me with affection once I walked through the door

It had been this way since my "odd" behavior was first noticed by nosy teachers who were "concerned" I wasn't getting enough love at home, in reality I just preferred to be alone and hated when people bothered me. I never felt joy unless it involved hurting someone. I don't remember why I was that way, which isn't really saying much because I don't remember really anything from my childhood other than being bullied for not being "normal"

Who wants to be normal anyway?

I dropped my stuff on the ground with a sigh before kicking my shoes off, the sound of my parents footsteps sounding in the distance. I braced myself for the ambush of hugs I was about to get. First my mother showered me with kisses then my dad picked me up in a huge bear hug

Then I was pulled into the kitchen where they had me take my meds. The meds helped me feel joy, but it didn't really last long, and it always made me feel even emptier than before. I sighed as I sat on the counter watching my mother take out my meds, she handed them to me with a glass of water

I took my meds and forced a smile at my mother, "Y/N, I'm sorry you have to take them, but it's for your own good..." My mother grabbed my hands in hers, she knew I hated taking those stupid things. "I know mom, it's ok, really" I rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb, tears began to well in my mother's eyes

Ever since she could remember, nothing made me happy, nothing but seeing people in pain and people getting scared. She had to pull me out of school at a young age because I started getting physically bullied, and instead of taking it I'd fight back, I put a lot of kids in the hospital because I would just keep hitting them till the screams stopped and then I'd laugh

I knew I wasn't normal, it didn't bother me, but it bothered everyone around me and people came to fear me. I didn't mind that either, I didn't like people so I liked that they stayed away from me, of course F/N was an exception in all of this

Once my mother stopped crying she walked me to my room and then left to go to bed. I sighed closing my door and plopping down on my bed, today had been a long day with F/N, they had taken me to the mall and we bought a bunch of stuff. They bought clothes while I bought a giant life sized bear plush, which I just remembered I'd left downstairs

Groaning I got up and walked out of my room and down the stairs, I walked to the kitchen where the bear sat patiently waiting in front of the counter. I stood in front of it and looked down at it, then I looked out the window over the sink noticing our neighbor just getting home. I sighed and decided to get myself a cup of water, I turned the water on and grabbed a glass from the counter, all the while I was oblivious to a pair of eyes watching me

I drank the water, picked the bear up and went straight upstairs to my room where I set the bear down on my bed and got dressed into more comfortable clothes. I closed my door once again and plopped down on my bed beside the bear turning my light off. I curled up to the bear and quickly fell asleep, all the stress from the day washing away

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

I woke to my mother shaking me, begging me to wake up. I groaned and rubbed my eyes "Mom..?" I asked groggily, she pulled me up causing me to now be wide awake. "There was just an intruder, we want you to stay in our room for the rest of the night" My mother's expression was filled with worry so I complied, following her to my parents bedroom where I laid down on the floor. It was actually pretty comfortable, I had a really fluffy pillow and extra soft blanket wrapped around me making me fall asleep quickly once more

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

Both of my parents had to leave for work on a business trip for a few days unfortunately. So I called F/N and informed them about the intruder thing and they said they'd be over soon, so all I had to do was wait

A few minutes later and F/N was barging through the door, two bags full of goodies in hand and another bag of movies "Hey bitch!" They giggled closing the door and dropped the stuff beside the couch

I sighed "Careful with the poor door-" I was cut off by F/N hugging me tightly "You must've been so scared! Wait- can you feel fear? Oh wait yeah-" They trailed off mumbling to themselves about being stupid

I just looked at them and smiled, they were the only other thing that brought me genuine joy and they knew it, I didn't know how it worked or why, it was just something about them that made me feel so warm inside

They noticed me smiling and quickly smiled back with a huge grin that could light up the darkest room and warm the coldest hearts. They reached into the bag full of movies and we started trying to decide what to watch, I preferred horror (obviously) while they preferred more calm stuff, we ended up choosing F/M

F/N started the movie as you two relaxed on the couch with your snacks in hand. You two ended up chatting, the movie quickly became background noise and you were both oblivious to the pair of eyes watching you from the window, just barely out of sight

This gave the stranger the opportunity to sneak in through a back window and sneak upstairs to hide, going completely unnoticed by the two of you as you laughed and ate your snacks
