- Tyler's POV -
A feeling of remorse overcame me as I re-lived the moment where I let the darkness in me spread over her mind, and that remorse rapidly grew as I remembered small flashes of my latest victim. A cyclist, I believe. He was lost, walking through the bushes which Monday went over to investigate. That was when I seized the chance. Monday couldn't have witnessed what I was about to do, so I let the darkness inside of me crawl inside of her. I killed the man. I know because I remember his screams of pain satisfying my ears, his beg for mercy making me feel powerful than ever. I hate to admit it, but whatever evil inside of me brings me to do this, I live for it.
"w-where am I?" Monday groaned, rubbing her eyes as she sat herself up on my bed. Her eyes widened as she realized her unfamiliarity within the place, suddenly appearing very alert and fairly scared.
"hey, hey it's okay." I comforted her, letting myself forget what I'd done. "you've just been out for an hour or two. Wednesday said it would be best for me to take you to mine if anything ever happened."
Monday crossed her legs as she hugged one of my pillows. "what even happened? all I remember is walking towards the bushes... then darkness."
"I think you just fainted, maybe you aren't used to staying up late?" I lied
"bullshit! night is the best part of the day, there's no way you are accusing me of being an early-sleeper." Monday audibly gasped, exaggerating playfully.
"there's nothing wrong with being an early-sleeper, it's okay to admit it Monday." I teased her, beginning to exit my room as she threw the pillow at me hardly. I turned around slowly, leaning against the door frame as she began to speak.
"you owe me a glass of cold water." she demanded, crossing her arms in a manner which made her look adorable. I smiled to myself as I walked down the stairs, giving a delayed response of
"anything for you, M." I read somewhere a while ago that giving someone a nickname makes them feel familiar with you. I desperately wanted, not even wanted, needed Monday to feel close to me. While getting the ice tray, my phone rang. It was my dad.
"Tyler are you home?"
"good evening dad, nice to talk to you too." I continued the conversation while walking back upstairs
"Tyler quit playing around. Are you home?"
"oh yeah today was great, thanks for ask-"
"TYLER." I heard him sigh with frustration. "Another body has been found. I need to know you're safe."
I gave Monday the glass as a concerned look spread upon her face. She must have been listening. She sat up on her knees on the bed to be level to my phone.
"Yeah, yeah I'm safe."
"ask where the body is!" Monday whispered to me, her sense of urgency somehow making me feel even more devoted to satisfying her.
"where was the body this time?" I asked, wondering to myself how they found it so shortly after I'd hid it.
"son you know I can't tell you that. well, yet at least. the monster must still be close, as the reports of screams where noted from 40 minutes ago. lock your doors." and with that he hung up.
"if I hadn't passed out.. they could still be alive right now." Monday sighed, burying her face into her palms in despair.
Seeing her in misery broke my heart. I sat on the bed beside her, taking her hands away from her face.
"You couldn't help it. Don't blame yourself for something which isn't your fault. The important thing is that we are alive." I comforted her, realizing that I had been holding her hands in mine.
She let out a weak smile as she squeezed my hands. "Thank you, Tyler."
her words of gratitude made my heart pound, her voice slightly breathless due to her lack of energy. it was hot.
I smiled back at her as she moved along my bed, making proper space for me to lie down.
"we should watch a movie!" she suddenly suggested, pointing at my flatscreen.
I groaned, but gave in after her large eyes pleaded me.
"but I'm choosing." I said, reaching for the control.
"not the slightest chance!" she giggled, gripping onto the remote control.
I sighed " I really didn't want to do this."
"do what..?" Monday questioned, confusion written all over her face.
I took the opportunity to snatch the remote, laughing at her as I did so, but my victory did not last long at all; seconds later she had her hands on my arms, trying to pin down the one with the remote. Her failed attempts fueled my laughter, and only continued to make her angrier.
"fuck you, tyler." she said between breathless giggles of annoyance.
if only she knew that was exactly what I wanted.
"you're cute when you're angry" I told her. She completely turned away from me, exaggerating her annoyance.
"Oh come onnn don't be a sore loser" I whined. I must have hit a nerve.
M turned around within a millisecond, finally getting a grip over my arms as she applied pressure on my chest as she wrapped her left leg over it. I loosened my grip of the remote allowing her to be victorious. But all I could think of within that moment was: Monday Addams is currently sitting on my chest, practically straddling me.
She didn't realize the position she was in at the moment, her only interest being rubbing her victory in my face. I held my blank stare to her face, desperately trying to control every part of my body not to do what I would normally think to do in this situation.
"so how does it feel?" she broke the silence
"how does... what feel?" I questioned in confusion
She leaned closer to my ear, her upper body perfectly setting down onto mine as she asked
"to lose?"
"fuck" I whispered to myself, aware that her words where affecting parts of me I couldn't control.
"what's the matter Tyler?" she asked, tilting her head to the side as she placed her hands on my chest. "wishing I was sat on your face instead?" she murmured, pouting her face in an almost pitiful way. it took me seconds to realize that she had actually said that, and that it wasn't my imagination, and when I realized it my whole body began to ache for her. She let out a small laugh as she gracefully came off me, acting as if we just spent the last 2 minutes talking about fairies and cupcakes. how could she say such a daring concept which I so long for and just push it aside like that?
she flashed me a smile as she pondered. "so, what are we going to watch?"
