Jeremike-You're Different than the others

Chapter 25: Parental Murder

 The odd thing is that Jeremy hasn't been to his apartment in days. He stopped there once or twice to get clothes, but other than those times he has been with Mike. Mike would always go on about how Jeremy practically lived in his house now, even if he didn't mind in the slightest. It was weird for the security guard, now that he had a reason to come home. Even if Jeremy slept most of the time. It was obvious that his being in constant fear of his dad coming in the middle of the night affected Jeremy's sleep schedule quite a bit. The bags under Jeremy's amber eyes proved that. On most days you could find Jeremy curled up on Mike's bed or couch, his breathing more steady than it had ever been in his whole life. Mike wished he could talk to Jeremy more than the few hours he got before Jeremy left for Fazbear's, but he cherished them nonetheless.

Days passed and bit by bit Jeremy had needed sleep less and less. He usually found himself dosing off on the couch next to Mike instead of getting actual sleep. During these little moments of peace for the night guard, Mike planned in his mind where to take Jeremy to 'hang out'.  The older male wasn't exactly a classy man, even though he claimed to be a snazzy fucker. Mike had never been on a date, only felt a bit of affection towards a woman before she left him alone. Now he had to think of a place to take his dear Jeremy, even though he wasn't a Casanova.

About one week after Mike's near slip of the tongue and asking Jeremy to hang, Mike decided to just take the dweeb to a café and hopefully not lose his chill. That was the last thing he wanted. After finalizing the details in his mind, he felt as if a weight was lifted off his shoulders. It felt good to finally have an idea of what to do. He looked to the other side of the couch where Jeremy was peacefully sleeping once again. Blue eyes trailed from Jeremy's fluffy brown hair to his peaceful face, examining each detail and taking in the sight. Mike couldn't wish for anything better. Paranoia of his dad coming would haunt Jeremy too often, making calm moments like this all the more welcome. The brunette was slowly trusting him more and more each day. It made Mike feel needed for once in his life, even though he would never admit it.

Since Mike was pretty much stuck where he was he decided to just watch TV, thankful that the remote was on the arm of the couch. He slowly picked up the small remote, careful to not wake Jeremy with the sudden movement. The night guard just whimpered quietly and switched his sleeping position so he was facing the couch. Mike sighed in relief and turned the TV on, making sure to turn the volume down very low in order to keep the sleeping teen next to him from waking up. Blue eyes scanned the TV, noticing how it was set to some random channel with more of those dancing girls with skirts the size and length of a belt. The creepy thing about it was that the main girl in the show was only fourteen. The channel was changed in a heartbeat; the person watching not wanting to see what fucked up thing went on in that TV show. The screen flashed static for a moment before showing a whole new screen, the dark room changing from being drenched in pink and J-pop music to showing two people sitting at a desk with small bar at the bottom of the screen. It showed the news for the afternoon, a picture fading onto the screen seconds later. Mike took interest in this and watched, his eyes widening when he heard the reporter say something about a few people found dead in a ditch after being stabbed. It was clear that they were murdered. On the TV they showed a picture of five children then another picture of their parents who were killed. Mike turned his attention to the words of the news reporter, not realizing that Jeremy was slowly stirring.

"After further investigation was performed on the seven individuals who were killed, it was discovered that they are the parents of the five children who went missing years ago at Freddy's Fazbear's Pizza. One of the children didn't have a parent, but was very close with another one of the children's parents. Three of the children lost both parents, while one lost his mother as his father is already dead. They were all found in a ditch near the restaurant, stabbed through their chests and stomachs. This is your afternoon news reporting from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Back to you Nicole."
