Chapter Text
[BEN's p.o.v.]
"Lay off!" I hollered at Jeff, who was currently trying to rip my controller out of my hands. Fucking dick.
"NO! Fuck you, its MY turn!"
"Its my XBox!"
"ITS MY HOUSE! NOW SHUT UP!" Slender yelled from his room.
It was true though, this was his cabin, some of us stayed here when we were passing through, none of us permanently did, but the ones who most visited here were Sally (Slender's obvious favorite who Im pretty sure just lives here), Jane, Jeff, and myself, so we actually had our own rooms... well, kind of. Jeff and I shared a room.
Jeff got off and took the controller with him while we were still frozen from the shock of Slender's accented yelling. I glared at him before going over to my N64 and putting on my game.
"The hell, you goin home over a fucking game?"
I tossed another glare back and sneered at my 'friend',
"Fuck you, yes. I'd rather deal with Navi right now you prick. I almost had that game beat and you fucking restarted it!"
As I entered the game, I heard Jeff snicker but I didnt really care, he was probably just thinking im a sissy or glad he got to play the fucking xbox or something. What ever.
Normally I would have skulked around to avoid Navi who constantly mistook me for Link, but I didnt care, she could eat it. I stomped right on over to my actual home and just plopped down on my couch. Fuck LITERALLY everything.
[Time skip and Reader p.o.v.]
I'm so excited!!! I just got my package in the mail today! Okay, so I got a lot of money for my birthday instead of actual presents - because I live with my grandparents now and they never know what to get me- and I bought a N64 from some dude named Judas on EBay and Majora's Mask from some random called JTK, also from EBay. I got the game system yesterday and the little box in my hand right now had me running up the stairs to my room.
Okay, well, the reason im so excited isnt because ive ever actually played this game -or an N64 for that matter- before, its because my friend Nick has always raved about Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, both Legend of Zelda games are like, his favorite or something. The way he talks about it, it must be fun right!? Wow, I sound like a 12 year old... Actually, im 20 and dont have a job or friends. Other than Nick at least, hes pretty rad, and just as excited about video games as I am.
I plopped down in my bean bag and ripped open the box so I could start the game. I slid it into the system and sped through the ads until I got to the main screen. I already knew it was a used game but the names JTK chose to use were kind of ironic. The first was "im" and the second, "BEN". I smirked in amusement before clicking "BEN" just to see how far he'd gotten. Okay, so I actually had no idea how far he was because I didnt know jack shit about the game and I ended up just running around like a derp for a while, still enjoying myself. Well, other than when the game would spaz and Link would spontaneously just fucking kill himself. I chalked it up to the controller being fuckidy because it was used. It was weird though, because it was mostly when I was near water that Link would flip his shit and just friggin drown.
[BEN's p.o.v.]
That fucker is going to die! Ive been stuck in this fucking cartage for two fucking weeks!
I glared through a window which served as a two way mirror and saw that it wasnt Jeff who put my game back in, it was some chick. I groaned- Id have to wait to strangle Jeff for a while it looked like. I noticed a laptop behind the girl and sighed, at least I could go through that and get to my own back at Slender's... Hopefully Jeff was still there and I didnt have to surf the web looking for his ass.
Who ever this chick was, she was funny as hell; Every time I made her die, she would spaz and curse like Jeff before slumping in her bean bag and starting over. Or at least, she did for like 15 times before Skull Kid snuck in my house and jumped on me.
"GUAAAAaaah!"
"HAA! Haha, wow BEN, scared?"
My eye twitched in irritation.
"The hell are you doing in here?"
"I was bored, Link isn't here to mess with, so I thought id come see YOU." He poked my forehead when he said 'you' with extra emphasis. I deadpanned,
"Cant you play with Tael or Tatl?"
He deflated and I grinned at it.
"Theyre busy. They said they dont want to play today."
Wow, he sounded so ... sad. Looser.
"Theyre probably tired of you too." I bit.
"Youre just mad you cant have a fairy too!"
I rolled my eyes and went back to watching the girl. Fairies were the least of my worries and the last thing I wanted around me, EVER. The girl though, -I snickered- had managed to kill herself with out my help. I let loose a laugh and keeled over from the face she made at the screen. Skull Kid came over and looked through the glass- sometimes he could see through like me, and sometimes he couldnt. I really dont know why.
"Are you going to kill her?"
"Yeah, she played my game, so im gunna but im gunna go beat the living shit out of Jeff first, she just has to fall asleep so I can get out of here."
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
This chick -who's name I found out was [Name] from when her grandparents came in and talked to her- FINALLY fell asleep. Its 5 fucking AM! She hadnt played my game the whole time, I lost track of how many times she died, but yeah, it was a lot. Eventually she pulled her laptop into her lap and did what ever the hell and played music until now. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
I stepped out of the TV and opened up her laptop on the desk she left it on. I was about to go in when I heard her whine. Curiosity got the better of me and I paused, looking behind myself at her. She hadnt woken up, but she was clinging to a toy and .... crying? Who the hell cries in their sleep? I hadn't even started the nightmares yet!
I huffed and walked over to her, just to see if she was actually sleeping or not. She was... I pushed a piece of hair from her face only to retract quickly. I really hadnt expected her to lean against my hand and it shocked the hell out of me. I mean, what ever, it was probably a reaction to her dream or something, but it was weird and I had shit to do, a Jeff to beat to death...
I returned to the laptop and went through to find Jeff.
