Work Text:
Its been 3 months since Vincent had invited the two into their home and soon enough they realized the unpleasant mistake that they cause. Of course, that didn't mean the two would’ve hold up their end of the deal: helping the house up as they could, however it was what they do besides that made Vincent concerned.
ever so often they’d fight and kill one or another and wait for the other to wake up before playing their games again and sometimes the two of them would try to bring Vincent along, making them suffer or bleed out in the progress.
Vincent was in the kitchen as well as Tony. Tony was sitting at the table while Vincent was looking in the freezer “Hey Tony, what do you wanna eat?” they asked him “Do you still have any pizzas left?” he replied.
”No we don't- And i thought you already had pizza like three days in a roll??”
”Says you” he scoffed. Vincent had chicken burgers and chips for what seemed like 4 days now and they rolled their eyes as they looked back. he cringed a little when looking inside to see little to nothing
“Besides, we don't have any food left” Vincent slammed the door shut with a sigh “oh! does that mean we’re getting take-out??” Paige asked with delight, peeping her head form the living room “takeout night isn't till tomorrow, my love” tony remarked “for now we should work with that we hav-”
”I guess we could do take out for now” Vincent interrupted. tony was surprised at this and how vincent even had the balls to talk over him “But who knows how long they’re going to take to get here! it could get cold by they get here”
”But if we get take out tonight not only that we could’ve spend less money then buying a lot of food tonight but maybe be less time consuming with the cooking” they knew tony was a time person, everything needed to be in time or he’d go haywire and out of tune. This was most likely going to be the shortest amount of time out of the two anyways.
”i bet it’s not going to make it by the time dinner time is up”
”then if you wanna eat white bread and suffer for the sake of time then be my guess” Paige giggled at this shad thrown at him as Vincent went to go on his phone “So Paige, what do you wanna get?” they asked. tony could be a bit understanding if Paige as said it but vincent? a mortal? how embarrassing! how annoying!
”Tony, you want anything?”
The next day Vincent decided to go out shopping to get some food as they put on a hoodie to go out. Its been cold this week so it seemed like they’d also have to wear an jacket as well “Going out are we?” Tony asked as he saw them zip the jacket up “Yeah?” Tony smiled “Well i hope you’re not allergic to stinging nettles now”
Vincent seemed confused before feeling an ichy feeling around their body as they yelped to get it off “Bastard!” Tony seemed to enjoy watching Vincent unzip their jacket and hoodie and throw it on the ground “I cant do anything with you” Vincent's hands had a bit of a red rash. they looked at them and sighed “look, if you’re still mad i am going shopping to get stuff, ‘right?”
”Thats fine by me”
Vincent went to grab their bag form their room as well as the wallet form their pocket, trying to be carful on not touching the inside of the jacket itself “i can make sure Paige doesn't do anything to the house while your gone” he said to them “yeah, that's fine” they then left the house. of course, it was cold and only could make the rashes get worse but someone had to get the food and damn if it wasn't him.
As Vincent left the house, it was only Tony and Paige left in the house. Of course, it was still Tonys turn to do the killing since he didn't get time to do it with his work but since he was done and Vincent was gone he’d be able to put it into work without getting yelled at by their specky housemate.
The first thing he needed to do is to find where she is and if she wasn't in her room getting creative she was in the backyard tending to the garden. Meanwhile without the gods, Vincent was out getting some food. They made a bit of a list on what to get on their phone “Hmm.. lets see”
What was on the list was some safe foods for themselves, some food for the others to eat, some drinks to get like water, juice, maybe some sodas if the two drink them. There was a lot of stuff to get which made vincent worry it wasn't enough to pay back.
They forgot about their headphones so they were forced to not listen to nightcore and 2000s songs and listen to what seemed like the yearly ritual of “All i want for Christmas is you” and Vincent groaned “Its not even December yet” damn capitalism, they thought
They gotta get this over with.
Back in the house, it seemed it was Paiges idea that the backyard had become more used among the others. She was tending to the roses outside when tony went to go see on her. He can make this quick he thought, slowly pulling out his sword to to stab her in the back and making it quick.
The grass hadn’t actually been cut yet and was a bit long and as tony only had his eyes on any movement on his prey, he failed to noticed the beartrap in the grass “GAHH-!!” he screamed as he lifted his food to see it caught on the trap as Paige giggled to herself “who knew that there were spear beartraps in the shed that Vincent’s been keeping”
Tony groaned as he ripped the bear trap off of his leg, still bleeding onto the grass “vincent went out shopping, dear” Paige pouted a bit “could’ve you told me that sooner? i could’ve asked them to get some fertilizer” Tony smiled
“well if you wanted to get some then i suggest to stand outside the bathroom” Paige gasped “1 would never!” This would cause the two to end up fighting again and while Paige was able to cause Tony to bleed out a lot, and staining the grass and flowers in blood, it was Tony that was the one that ended up giving Paige a fatal blow to the neck with a shovel.
As Paige laid dead on the grass Tony only stared at the body before hearing the door shut “I'm back!” Vincent shouted form inside the house hallway and in their hands was multiple bags of shopping and the house seemed eerily quite.
They moved their way into the kitchen to drop off the food on the table before seeing the back door opened and the scene that laid to them.
”Jesus Christ” Vincent groaned as they pinched between their eyes. They didn't know if they hated when they do this or if they hate how used they somewhat became to it
“Didn't you say you wouldn’t do this while i was gone?” they asked. Tony gave them a weak smile as he was tired to get up form lack of blood “You didn't mention anything about it being outside” shit, he has a point “okay, just clean up when you get the chance too”.
There's now going to be a neighbor to check up if anyone is ok but for now? They just needed to put the food away and once Tony could move again, he carried Paige back upstairs and put her in her bed and went to help vincent put away the food, at least tonight tony could eat in this time.
