“Oh Bluebird, where aaareee yooou?” Hugo asks, running around his and Varian's shared apartment. Varian wasn't around, which would be weird if it wasn't his dumb little boyfriend.
Hugo however was laughing, thinking he and Varian were playing hide and seek. Why don't I remember what you look like? So he kept looking…
And looking…
And looking...
“Goggles, where are you at, baby? Jesus, you'd think finding a nerd would be easy…” Hugo lets out a sigh and he goes towards the bedroom, hoping he'd find his boyfriend, Vanny, in there.
He kept searching, looking in the closet, under the bed, hell even in the damn trash can! But he found absolutely nothing. No sign of his idiot at all, but everything was still here. Everything was in its usual place, so what the fuck was going on?
“Yeah, he's been missing for a few days…”
Hugo’s head immediately snapped up (somehow he didn't break his neck) and he raised an eyebrow. Who was missing?
With small hesitation, went out of the bedroom and went into the living room, taking a peak past a corner to see who was there. It was… A girl with a star puff hair style and a purple dress, oh and she's got pretty stars on her. Then next to her was a black haired guy with a weird stripe in his hair? He looks like a nerd.
“They haven't found him?” The girl asked, watching the man walk into the apartment. She had a look of sorrow on her face, was she crying beforehand?
“That's the city of Corona for ya… The police just won't do anything when I tell them!” The guy hits his head on the wall. Why don't I remember your name?
The girl was at his side in a flash, stopping him from hitting his head. She put a hand on his shoulder and gave a reassuring squeeze.
“We'll find him… I know I didn't get along with him – frankly he made it hard to – but I'll help look for him. And if the police don't help, well, I'll go beat some ass.” The girl said as she smiled. She seemed nice…
The guy let out a sigh and he nodded, rubbing his face when he spoke. “I know, and I know you'll kick anyone's, er, ass… I'm just so confused right now…”
The girl nods back, then she pulls the man into a tight embrace. “Everything will be fine, don't worry, we'll find him…”
Hugo just watched the interaction and he stuck his tongue out, pretending to gag at the sight before him.
“Jesus, you two act like someone died. Honestly it's disgusting.” Hugo jokes around, but it looked like the two didn't hear him. He was about to repeat himself when the girl spoke.
“Well, I've got to get going. Amber will kill me if I'm not home in time for dinner.” And with that the girl moved away from the hug and left with a wave.
When the door was closed the air suddenly got tense. Hugo glanced up and down at the man for a moment, obviously wanting to flirt with the guy. Unfortunately for him, the guy started walking to the bathroom. Hugo followed behind with his hands behind his back.
“So where we going? And who are you? Actually where am I? Are you ignoring me?” Hugo was popping question after question, but the guy wasn't responding.
“Ugh, you are ignoring me. Y'know, next time you ask a question I should ignore y–”
“Hello, Hugo.” The boy suddenly said, the bathroom door now wide open with Hugo standing behind him. When did they reach the bathroom?
“Um, yeah? Hi to you, too, short ass. Mind telling me what's–”
“I'm sorry, baby… But you just suddenly annoyed me… I hope you don't hate me…” Baby? Hugo was even more confused, literally none of this was answering his questions!
He walked over and reached for him, when suddenly he was in front of the boy. But something was wrong… The man was smiling and staring down. He was taller than him so why would he be looking down?
“I'm so sorry, Hugh…” The boy mutters and he sits on the ground, leaning against the door. When did it close? Hugo stares down at the boy for a moment longer, then he froze and went silent.
“Oh… Right…” Hugo whispers and he turns around.
There it was: a body. His body. Lying on the floor in front of the bathtub, the whole room was a bloody mess, literally. The floor was covered in old blood and it looks like there were dead flies around his body. The boy must've done something to his body or something so it doesn't smell, but he can't tell.
He can't...
He's dead
Varian was alone, sitting on the floor, staring at his boyfriend… He killed him… He killed his fucking love and the weird part was…
He doesn't regret it…
