"Thomas?".. The voice sounded like it was underwater " Thomas open your eyes " the voice encouraged him, he peeled his eyes open trying to take in the surroundings. It wasn't somewhere familiar or known to him, tall clovers of wheat surrounded him from all ways, just low enough to let him see from above them but high enough to block his view of the ground
The air felt cold and heavy, wrong almost..
A pit settled in his stomach as he looked around him, fog obscuring anything beyond the horizon.
"there you are!" Thomas turned to the voice, his eyes widening a bit as he saw it.
Micro?
"Micro? Where are we?" Thomas stared at the figure that didn't quite look right, a small smirk on the man's face, the slight tilt of his body hell even the color of his hoodie felt off.. It looked more of an eyesore magenta instead of the calm purple micro usually wears
"Oh just somewhere" God even his voice was off..
The figure stepped closer which Thomas didn't like one bit.
that wasn't his micro
"Who are you." The thing tilted his head at Thomas making him even more creeped out at the creatures hollow eyes
"I'm micr0 silly" it's voice seemed to glitch or something confirming this wasn't thomas's beloved ghost
The thing kept walking closer and closer and in return Thomas kept backing up, not daring to take his eyes off of 'micro' or whatever that thing claimed to be. "Where are you going ᡶꫝꪮꪑꪖక? ĐØ₦₮ ⱠɆ₳VɆ! " the thing lunged at him making him break into full sprint as he tried to outrun whatever that thing was
Did it do something to micro? Is he hurt?
He hated the thought that micro would be hurt but he can't figure What happened to him if he himself gets caught by whatever that thing was chasing him is.
As he kept running it seemed like an endless field, he ran and ran but there was no end to the wheat, his lungs burned from the cold air forcing its way into his lungs, the thing was getting closer. He didn't dare look back. He didn't want to. He didn't want to look at the distorted version of his love.
Sharp claws dug into Thomas's shoulder puling him back harshly and making him land on his back with a thud the things distorted face came into view above him, it was much larger now, slim long frame that looked disturbing to Thomas. It's eye sockets looked hollow and it's mouth fell into an uncanny wide grin
"️₵₳Ʉ₲Ⱨ ɎØɄ" it's voice sounded so wrong.. The whole thing was panic inducing..
The thing lifted it's claw and swung at him as every thing went black.
..
..
..
A loud scream ripped from Thomas's lungs as he jumped up in bed, his heart was racing and cold sweat ran down his forehead, his whole body felt like he'd been dunked in freezing water
The door slammed open as snowbird barged in, a knife in his hand "WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT WAS THAT" flux grumbled behind him, rubbing his eyes, he clearly was woken by the sound evident by how he looked like an absolute mess right now
Thomas tried catching his breath, it felt as if his throat refused to let him grasp any bit of air he could
It was a Nightmare..
Flux huffed and walked part snow bird who was still holding the knife in one hand
"Can you leave us be for a moment bird" flux waved at him only to get a glare back "but thoma-" "he's gonna be fine just leave" flux shot a glare toward snow birds way and he begrudgingly left closing the door behind him
"You ok?" Flux made his way to the side of Thomas's bed before sitting down and patting the others back
Thomas stayed quite for a bit staring off into space
"Yeah I'm fine.. " he said blankly which didn't convince flux even one bit
"Thomas. What happened" he said sternly prompting the other to look at him, he sighed fidgeting with a pendant that hung around his neck
"It was a nightmare. " "what happened in it?" "Nothing" flux continued to stare at his shaking friend who looked like a sad wet cat right now "that wasn't 'nothing' Thomas. Things rarely phase you and I've only heard you scream like that a hand full of times and most of those were your mother chasing you around with a slipper" Thomas chuckled but couldn't swallow the dread that was still blocking his throat, he sighed trying to collect his thoughts before telling flux
"I was... In this wheat field. It stretched almost infinitely.. " "really? Is that what you call a nightmare?" Thomas glared st his friend "no. Something else there was this-.." He waved his arms around trying to articulate his words "this thing.. It looked like micro but it.. It wasn't. It looked wrong and uncanny even.." Flux learned back listening intently to his friend that looked frightened out of his skin "it kept creeping closer.. And then it started chasing me.. " Thomas huffed out a shaky breath
Flux didn't know how to consult his frightened friend , he just rubbed his back praying that he found even a little bit of comfort in the gesture
Thomas ran his fingers through his hair, he couldn't completely sit still as the adrenaline still remained in his bloodstream
He sighed "I think I'll go take a walk.. " flux tilted his head at the other "you sure you alright? I can come with if you want" Thomas shook his head "go back to sleep flux you look like hell. Even more than I do somehow.. Plus I just.. I just need to clear my mind a bit"
Flux wanted to argue but Thomas had already gotten up pulling an olive hoodie over his head and pulling the hood up "Are you sure Thomas?" "Yeah I'll be fine."
Thomas left his room making his why to the front door of the dorm he and his friends lived in "where are you going? " seraphim caught him before he left, she sat criss crossed on the couch, rotation, new kids and gotoga were sat on the ground, too focused in the game they were playing to pay him any attention "a walk" he looked away reaching for the handle, saraphin eyed him suspiciously, she didn't comment on the scream from earlier nor did she push "be safe" she nodded at him which in return he nodded back"
As he closed the door behind him the cold breeze hit his face, cooling his nerves momentarily, the halls were quite and empty. It was pretty late he won't lie, most people were already fast asleep or in their own dorms
He walked down the hallway seemingly roaming with out a purpose, his shoes clicked softly Against the marble floor as he walked through the quite hallway
As he passed through hallway after hallway he stopped in front of a certain door. He didn't know why he was here.. He hadn't intended to come here..
A huge Canadian flag hung on the door, Thomas stared at it, contemplating wether to Knock or not, it took him a couple of moments before he settled on a choice.
He rasped his knuckles against the door and waited for a moment, he could hear rummaging from inside the dorm before the door creacked just enough for a pair of eyes to look at him.
"Oh hi Thomas" Panzer greeted from the small crack "Umm. Is... Is micro here" Thomas scratches the back of his neck as he stared back at Panzer "yeah hold up give me a moment" he closed the door unlocking the lock before opening it fully "MICRO! YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HERE" he called out as walked inside
Thomas bounced on his foot while waiting
Finally after a couple of minutes micro emerges into the door frame, he rubbed eyes as if he just woke up. This micro looked right.. Nothing like that thing
"Um. Sorry I came at a bad time huh" Thomas smiled sheepishly "eh it's alright. But why are you even awake at this hour.. Don't you usually sleep early?" Thomas shrugged "couldn't sleep. I was thinking about you" he smirked at micro earning him a roll of an eye from the other "aren't you gonna invite me in? " micro narrowed his eyes at him before looking back in the dorm "fine just don't mind the mess. You know how things are" "are 'thing' another way for you to say weed, love? "
micro shrugged going back into the dorm and and gesturing for the other to follow.
As they walked by the living room Thomas couldn't help but notice the scattered materials used for growing... Stuff..
"Banana you you absolute fuck!" Thomas's neck snapped to the voice, Neptune, one of micros other roomates and a quite unhinged guy from what Thomas saw "I didn't do anything!" Banana yelled back, another one of micros roommates, a weird green fellow
as the two argued micro leaned towards Thomas in a low whisper "don't mind those idiots, common let's go to my room" he nodded and followed micro, passing by Panzer who was watching the fight, a bag of chips in his hand "oo someone's gonna have some fun with their boyfriend?" Panzer teased micro as he passed only to recive a punch, Panzer yelped jumping away from micro as he rubbed the spot he hit "geez I was just joking"
Micro dragged Thomas into his room and finally closed the door, he ran a hand over his face "those idiots I swear to ish.. " he sighed before laying down on the bed and patting the spot next to him, Thomas smiled and laid next to micro "you really deal with all this chaos everyday?" Micro sighed "you have no idea" he leaned against thomas who in return wrapped his arm around the other, savoring the feel of the ghosts cool body against his
"Soo. Why did you come here" micro looked up lazily at Thomas
"Got bored and missed you. Sorry I didn't give you a heads up" he rolled to his side pulling micro closer and burying his face in the nook of micros neck, the cool touch of micros skin soothed Thomas's lingering fright from earlier, he was real. This was micro, his micro
He inhaled in micros scent, lavender and a hint of something sugary, you'd think a drug dealer would smell as such but micro always managed to avoid the smell of it sticking to him. Thomas couldn't give two fucks if he smelled like flowers or straight crack, he was addicted anyway.
Like a drug addict that can't abandon his fix,
It was intoxicating and he relished In it
"Do I really smell that good?" Micro chuckle "Mhm." Thomas looked up through his eyelashes at the man he adored with all his heart. The one who captured it after years of no emotion or feelings towards even to most beautiful of people.. But micro was different. He made him feel alive.. He was drawn to him like a moth to flame, but he couldn't care less if said flame could hurt him.. It fascinated him too much to leave it be.
Micro ran his hand through Thomas's hair, a small contempt smile on his face, some of his hair was floating, a sign of clear emotions, it was micros way of showing emotions since his expression most of the time was a blank one. Not that he could do anything about it he was born that way
"Micro?" "Hm?" "I love you till the day all the stars in the sky die out" he pressed a gentle kiss to the others lips.
Micros face was still blank but now he himself was glowing a low pinkish glow which made Thomas chuckle "I love you" he pushed some hair out of micros face savoring how beautiful his micro is
"You're so cheesy do you know that" micro huffed out a laugh running his fingers through the brunettes hair gently before pressing a kiss to his forehead
"I love you too Thomas" he smiled back at his lover, Thomas looked like a puppy that was just called a good boy, he was grinning ear to ear, the horrible nightmare from a couple of hours ago forgotten as he cuddled up to micro, a contempt smile plastered on the both of their faces as they drifted off to sleep
This time there was no wheat or a disfigured copycat, but instead a field of lavender and and the warm laughter of his one and only star.
