Work Text:
The voice creeps in again. Bob must not let it consume him.
Not worthy to love.
You are bad son.
The sound of beating hands on his body. The pain still crawled under his skin. Why he and mom must be beaten subject of this monstrous man who happens to live same roof as him. Bob despises him with his whole heart. How can a young boy like him escape this situation. He felt desperate all the time. He used to pray but it didn’t work. So, he stopped believing in any higher power. Eventually his mom left. He got angry that this bastard took my mom’s life away from him. Then a social worker came and took him away from this painful household. He was tossed around like Frisbee from one house to another. He never went to the same school longer than the full semester. Suddenly he stopped going to school. He sought to find comfort on drug. Getting high kept him away from the pain. But still, he cannot take his own life. He made several attempts but failed every single time. Something still holds him on to this life.
Bob thinks he’s an idiot who didn’t know how to quit. How can someone disappear in front of his life for a long time ago still affect to his entire being? He doesn’t understand this at all. He tried everything to forget his shitty life. Drug, Weed, Coke, you name it. Be the test subject for literally the most dangerous project on the planet of evil company. End up in an incinerator only if he can escape in time. Got shot multiple times but appear to be invincible being. What a twisted life. At least he can save his friends from being captured by Valentina.
He became useful to someone who he had been with only a few hours. He feels something warm inside of himself again this time.
Knock knock the sound came from the door.
Bob woke up in the middle of a cozy bed. He still dreamt about it every now and then. He looks outside the window. The rays of sunshine spot on the fern that he grew couple of months ago. The fresh air breezes through the curtain and crosses his skin lightly. Bob picked up his glass of water beside his bed and drank it along with prescribed pills.
“Heyyy, let’s go Cucumber waiting for you” Yelena walks toward the bed and sitting while reach her hand caress his hairs gently. Her smile never fails not even once. He smiles back at her.
“You really have to go on weekend again. Huh?” He tries to send his puppy eyes and pouty lips to her.
“You know bob I have to, I must.” She is already in her work uniform which he does all the laundry. He knows he cannot contribute a lot, but he can do all the chores while she’s doing all the breadwinners.
“Okay but please leave a kiss for me before you leave.” He believes he has the most convincing smile ever on his face. Yelena sighs and puts her lips against him. It was gentle and sweet things. Bob wraps his arms around her and tries to hold her for a little while. He hates when she is leaving even if he knows she will come back. He will miss her all day long while trying to tend the house, their house actually.
“See you soon Yelena.” She walks away with a kiss on his forehead.
He will be fine.
He found his home now.
