Over the next few weeks Simon had been going absolutely crazy, he got a touch of dust and he couldn't get enough of it, at least once a day he was running to the bathrooms and touched himself, even getting caught a few times, though no one thought anything of it.
And threw all these weeks he was working tirelessly to help Adrian with his eating disorder, it was difficult to say the least, he would often get too frustrated and end up accidentally raising his voice or even grabbing Adrian's arms as if he could force him to eat. He quickly realised he was letting his emotions get the best of him and instead of helping he was scaring Adrian, so he started working on meditation and read a few anger management books, he never thought he had any issues, he was certainly an easily frustrated person but reading about all the different types of anger issues he realised he had more to work on then he thought he did. And realising all this he also realised that many of his friends were more afraid of him then anything else. He wasnt a violent person necessarily, but he had his moments that seemed to cause intimidation. So not only was he trying to help his friend overcome an eating disorder, he was also trying to get his own anger problems under control all while going threw an ungodly horny teenage boy faze.
And he was successful, within five months Adrian was back to eating two meals a day and he was very energetic once again. Seeing the progress for the better Soren realised how much he had missed the downfall, and so did a few other people, however many remained unbothered and ignorant, just how Adrian liked it. Though what he didn't like was how distant Soren had gotten from him, and eventually one day he was left alone with him in the showers.
So he decided to corner him before he could leave, "Why are you avoiding me?" He got straight to the point, quite literally holding Soren hostage in a corner, "Why do you think? You've proven you can't handle loving me." Soren spoke bluntly, "And what makes you think that?" Adrian leaned close to Sorens face, "You starved yourself into a fucking skeleton because you thought I'd like you better, you weren't even living anymore, Adrian. You were just.. existing in a body that isn't even yours. It was disgusting, and creepy, you're a creep."
"Mm? Say that again," Adrian said, almost warningly as he got closer, their two naked bodies grazing against each other, only being clothed by white towels, "You want me to be a creep?..." Adrian got close to Sorens ear and whispered, "Do you want me to stalk you?..." Soren could feel Adrian's lips softly grazing against his ear, if he's being honest it gave him butterflies, a very unfamiliar feeling of his stomach twisting inside itself, that exact feeling multiplying as he felt Adrian's hard wood slowly hump against his own crotch, "I can be a freak if you want me to..." Adrian whispered, pressing soft kisses onto his ear, "Either you love me, or you hate me. There's no in-between..." Adrian slowly pulled away, his hand on Sorens chest still, "Don't mistake me for shy, Soren." Adrian warned, it was a strange warning, and Soren didn't understand it at first, especially given that Adrian simply walked away and got dressed, Soren stood confused and moderately turned on.
"Come on, get dressed, I'll walk with you back." Adrian smiled, continuing back to his happy and cheerful self, standing by the doors, Soren quickly got dressed and walked back with Adrian to the boys dorm. Watching a few kids giggling as they switched positions so that Ariana, Yuna and Daisake was in the boys dorm while Milo, Neor and Vegas switched to the girls, "Oh! Can I come hang out with you guys too?" Adrian asked excited, and Hazel was literally pushed into the boys dorm even though she said she 'didnt want to', but you see, now she had no excuse.
Hazel blushed heavily as the girls giggled, even the boys that were switching helped in this plan, the girls basically kidnapped Hazel into the boys dorm and the boys that were left outside quickly shut the doors and ran away laughing, leaving Soren with barely enough time to get inside.
"Oooolllliiiiiieeeee, look who's hereeeeeee?~" Jonah teased, pushing Hazel towards Oliver's bed, who was right at the door, they both blushed and Oliver scolded at his friend's that they needed to be more careful, and that Hazel wasnt allowed to be treated like that.
They all laughed and continued teasing at how cute they were together, they weren't together, but it was an ongoing match, everyone knew they liked each other and to be honest, they knew themselves, but they were both the shy type.
"I-its Okey, I'll just sleep in Neors bed." Hazel said, Neor sleeping right next to Oliver, however, Ariana quickly jumped onto it, "Sorry! This one's taken." Along with the other girls jumping onto the nearby empty beds, "These too!" They exclaimed in unison while Elio got up and 'accidently' pushed Hazel onto Oliver, causing close proximity and both dying of embarrassment, "Well, oops- Ah naww~ I didn't mean to~~" Elio said dramatically flipping having Jonah catch him princess style, Jonah flipped his hair making a cute 'oh no's face, "Whatever shall we do~!"
"No empty beds~"
"I mean, since you're already there Hazel."
"You might as well share~"
Everyone laughed and teased them, honestly even Oliver found the situation funny, he loved watching his lady be so cute and helpless, not being able to muster up words as to why their friends are acting rude or inconsiderate or anything like that.
"Well, Milady~" Oliver teased, giving her a helping hand up and into a more comfortable position, "Don't encourage this," She struggled to keep her own laugh, "Fuck you all!" She laughed, and every burst into laughter as she got comfortable next to Oliver.
As the night continued so did the slumber, within a few hours everyone was asleep, and Soren was left awake thinking about what happened earlier. He couldn't sleep at all even by 2 Am, he was constantly thinking about what had happened and eventually had enough, he stuck his hand into his pants and gulped, feeling his member slowly becoming erect as he tried this route. He didn't know what was keeping him up, but he was sick of it and willing to try anything, so he followed in his brother's footsteps.
And it didn't work, he was laying there going up and down, this hand then that, and even struggled to keep it up, so he just gave up and slammed his head back into his pillow and grunted annoyed. Trying again at falling asleep and yet no hope, and soon he heard someone moving around. He froze hoping to dear god no one heard or saw him, but as he maintained quiet and still he heard small footsteps.
"Chicago?... I keep hearing wet sounds.. like organs...." Soren couldn't help but start to feel bad as he heard Mia's soft voice trying to wake her brother, "I'm sure someone's just beating themselves and you're overthinking it.." Chicago mumbled, his deep, sleepy voice barely audible as Mia sniffled, "I'm scared... Can I sleep with you?" She gently grabbed his arm and shook it, Chicago opened his blanket and let her in, she quickly crawled in like a little gremlin and hid in his chest, "Why do you keep overthinking about organs?..." Chicago mumbled, holding her tightly, threwout this he hadn't even opened his eyes. He quickly fell back asleep but Mia was left awake and scared, so now two parties that night where left with no sleep.
The next day when they all met in the cafeteria for breakfast Soren was especially grumpy, after being asked why he slammed his head onto the table groaning, "How the fuck do y'all insomniacs fucking manage.."
"We don't, we just deal with it," Dante laughed, touching his shoulder, "Didn't sleep well last night?" He asked, bending down to eye level with Soren, "Did you hear the organs~" Andrew said in a supposedly creepy voice, "Mia was complaining all morning that she was scared all night and one of our organs will be eaten soon."
"Ha, funny..." Soren mumbled, ain't no way in hell he was planning to tell them that he was the one making the 'organ sounds', "She's loony, I swear to god, you never know what she'll tell you next."
"I'm still waiting everyday for her to predict my future, 'you will be a billionaire'~ I'm just waiting~"
"More like 'you will die a horrible and painful death'~" the boys at the table laughed, Soren nearly falling asleep, "Hey, don't talk about her like that..." He mumbled, everyone looked at him a bit shocked as if he had said something unbelievable, "It's rude to make fun of the mentally challenged, says so in that big book full of words about that weirdo in flipflops." Everyone burst into laughter and 'Ay's or 'ohhh's, all clapping as if he's said something wonderful deserving of praise.
However, not everyone has this same humour as River suddenly slammed her hand on the table, causing everyone to get the fright of their lives, "I heard that she had a bad feeling about one of you, that the next time you to go the labs something bad will happen, but it's rude to gossip ain't it? Says so in that long book about the weirdo in flipflops." As River ended her sentence while continued to walk away, they'd be lying if they said she didn't scare them, "Whatever, you freaking fish." Dante said, dusting his jacket as he tried to ignore her words, however he couldn't help prey the numbers that were being called didn't end in his name. And oh right River seemed to be, as that might when, Dante was chosen to be next.
"4 1 14 20 5."
Dante slowly made his towards the door, he felt scared and alone as he was the only boy, he glanced over at Mia and inhaled a shaky breathe and continued, the guards grabbing him and shoving him out the door to close it.
Dante walked threw into the lab and saw the doctor already preparing for him, "Ah, 4 1 14 20 5, take a seat," He gestured, Dante walked up slowly and sat down with trembling hands, "Why so nervous today? Mm? Have a secret I should know about?"
Dante tenses up and gulped, he found it difficult to breathe as if the air around him had disappeared, "No..." He mumbled, feeling the leather straps tie him to the seat, "Are you sure? You know you shouldn't hide from me." Doctor Carlos said, gently tightening a ribbon around his arm readying him for an injection, "I-i just had very little sleep last night.." Dante spoke cautiously, he felt ready to run at any given moment but he knew he couldnt. As Dante felt the small, cold needle press against his skin he felt the small sting that followed, he felt the liquid seep deeply into his veins, he looked up at the doctor, feeling slightly dizzy and tired.
"Well, you'll have perfectly good sleep tonight, I promise you that." Carlos said with a creepy smile, Dante took one last look at the doctor before closing his eyes, opening them again momentarily and noticing a pain in his stomach, "Ahh, there you are," The doctor smiled, "Good morning, sleeping beauty."
"What?... I only closed my eyes for a few seconds." Dante groaned, feeling his head paining badly, he moved his arms and realized he had been untied, along with undressed.
"Get dressed and join your friends, I'm sure they'll be happy to see you." The more and more the doctor spoke, the more and more pain started residing within Dantes body, his face felt numb and his throat was burning.
He looked around disoriented for a moment before starting to get up, his clothes being neatly packed on the table next to him, he got dressed and left the room, being blinded by the harsh sunlight as he joined his other three confused victims as they walked to the cafeteria, seeing the doors of the dorms already being opened and wide, they assumed they woke up late.
But before they could reach anywhere they were stormed with worried friends, "Snow!" "Angel!" "Eden!" "Dante!" Their friends screamed their names, showering them with love and concerned, "Are you guys Okey?!"
"What happened?!"
"Did they say anything?!"
Dante looked around confused, feeling Snow's small hands wrapped around his arms, he looked down at the scared girl, another one on his other arm, he held both their hands tightly and looked over at Angel being excluded and alone, he said her name sternly, frightening her slightly as she jumped and flinched away from Andrew who had tried to grab her, "Hey, don't touch her. She's clearly scared," Dante said, extending an arm and pulling her into Eden and him, having all three scared girls, by far some of the smallest of the bunch in his arms, "Why are you all being so weird?" He asked, taking the lead and trying to figure out what was going on.
Everyone seemed to get even more frustrated, "What do you mean?!!"
"You were gone for so long!!"
"Do you not remember?"
"Did they not tell you?!"
"Were you unconscious?"
"Wait, wait! How long were we gone?!" Angel yelled, "You... We haven't seen any of you for two months."
The four froze, taking in what Sophia had told them, none of them said anything as the field went silent, "W-were you guys unconscious the whole time?" Celestial asked, "You really can't remember anything?"
"N-no... I just closed my eyes for a few seconds." Dante said, tightening his grip on the girls, "Me too." Eden spoke up softly, her voice barely a whisper, "Us too..." Angel and Snow said in unison, "What did they tell you?" Dante asked, referring to what PaperCuts explanation was, "It's none of your concern."
"Everytime the exact same thing."
"It's none of your concern." Hearing so many of their friends saying the same thing all in unison scared the four victims, that's what the doctor meant by 'I'm sure they'll be happy to see you', because they certainly were.
After many questions and explanations the four finally were able to have a meal, however it painted and ached in their throats and they all explained the same thing, "It feels like something has been stretching my throat open."
"Probably because it had, they must've used tubes to feed you and keep you alive." Adam offered, "Yes, that's probably right, just chew super thoroughly, make the food as soft as possible and it should stop hurting soon." Mia said, gently brushing Angels hair as it had knotted unbelievably, "My stomach hurts so badly..." Dante said, he seemed to be the only one with stomach pain, "Take a shit? You probably haven't in months." A few boys laughed, but Dante just laid his head down on the counter, "Maybe.." he mumbled, holding his stomach softly before he felt a shape pain, he notably grounded and flinched.
Everyone startled as he lifted up his shirt, "What the fuck..." He mumbled, seeing two huge stitched cuts on his stomach, "That's why it fucking hurts, they did surgery," Dante said angrily, looking at the three other girls, "Lift up your shirts, maybe you just don't feel it." Which they all immediately disagreed to, "We're not lifting our shirts." "Don't be a pervert." "You're not that lucky."
"Jesus, it's just your stomach for god's sake, it's not like I told you to get naked and flash your asses at me." Dante grumbled, being teased and picked at already, "This isn't the end of it..." Mia mumbled, and everyone immediately looked up at her, "This isn't where they'll stop." She said a bit more firmly.
As I've told you, when Mia says no, don't do it. And everyone knew that by now, and always trusted her when she said something bad would happen. They all fell silent and looked down if not at each other, "We need to leave this place..." Snow whispered.
"Ye... That's kind of the part we haven't told you yet." Atlas spoke up, the four looked at him confused, "We've been... Doing some things." Andrews said, "Well? What kind of things!" Dante nearly shouted, raising his voice only slightly. They all quieted him down, but before I can tell you what happened next I need to tell what already did.
