Chapter Text
"Player! Good to see you still alive after that last round at the Lilim Lane. I'm sure the Oni didn't cause you too much trouble, right? You are the strongest fella I know!"
Player felt tears welling up in their eyes. They just wanted to go home at this point, they were done. Genuinely, the Oni took the soul and life out of them, especially after they had been hit with a vase by said ghost. It was like trying to babysit a toddler. But, hey, it wasn't a demon this time! At least the car was safe....and quiet.
"Yeah...No yeah, you are right...So.....When is my paycheck, Boss?"
"PLAYER! NEW JOB CAME IN! AT JUNIPER ROAD! GO THERE! NO TIME TO DILLY DALLY!"
Player watched their phone beep for a few seconds before turning back to locked screen, the image of John Pork and Lenin, their favorite crack ship, blaring them square in the face. The boss was acting quite strange. Usually they are less, how do you say it? Less hazardous? Probably.
But whatever.
Player once again started their car from the Mc'donalds drive thru. Picking up their cheeseburger with extra cheese and a large pepsi soda with a side of fries, and slowly, whilst eating and driving, (Please, do not do this.(Without me) Seriously) made their way to Juniper Road.
- 12 AM, JUNPER ROAD-
"Okay...Let's see..."
From the outside, nothing was wrong, so far, no rusting on the nameplate of the door, the walkway was fresh and slightly dirty. Perhaps this job will be easier then last time. It's only a one story home.
They took out their equipment, placing their crosses in their hand and a camera over their neck as they went inside...
"...Hello?"
Silence...
"Herrrooo? Hebachi beni hana Terijaki?"
...
"Good, atleast it ain't a Oni again. I would have quit my job right then and there."
Player walked in, only to imedietly (immediately) throw the crosses onto the ground, they two good eyes VISCIOUS as they looked around, only to back outside and grab everything before tossing it all onto the ground as they searched...Cause they are oh so good at the job. They placed salt in front of the kitchen,
The rooms were relatively warm, cozy too, however, as they went to check the master bedroom, their eyes stood wide as they paced around with the camera. A ghost orb.
"Nice...Ghost orb complete- EH?"
One of the crosses had already burned.
"Oooh, money."
After taking a picture, Player set up camp in the master bedroom, if they already got ghost orb, everything else should come easy.
As long as evidence isn't overlapping.
But eh, it won't. Right?
hehe...
...
Right?
Wrong.
"GOD I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS!" Player shouted at the sky as they clenched the spirit-box in their hand like their life depended on it. God this was bad! So so bad!
"Okay..Okay..."
Player took a few breath before asking through the spirit box.
"When did you die?"
"YOUNG."
"Okay, so this one is definitely it-"
"PLAYER! NEW JOB CAME IN! AT JUNIPER ROAD! GO THERE! NO TIME TO DILLY DALLY!"
Players heart sank to the bottom of their ass. Sweat poured down their body as their hands shook, no way. nope, not today, as soon as this hunt is over...Player is going home, taking a long shower, and going to go watch backrooms. (GO WATCH THE MOVIE, SERIOUSLY)
"...Player~ Get out."
"Fuck no."
"Please~?"
"HOW CAN YOU EVEN TALK? HOW DO YOU KNOW MY BOSS? ME? WHAT IS GOING ON???"
Player felt their heart stop as they felt long fingernails scrape against the locker wood doors, oh god no. NO.
"I have been watching? monitoring? stalking. I have been, stalking PLAYER, for a long? long. Time."
"Okay...WHY!?"
"Cause...PLAYER, is...beautiful."
"...huh."
The skinwalker's fingers did not stop scratching, more so started tapping on the wood.
"Did PLAYER, forget? sadly yes so. WE, PLAYER, WE have met before? A lot."
"I mean, probably...somewhere along my jobs...BUT WHY."
"Cause...I...like PLAYER. THAT is WHY I, me, have been waiting in the bedroom for you~"
Player froze for an entirely different reason now, okay, what the fuck was going on. Was this monster actually flirting with them?
"Really?"
"YES. PLAYER. I want to, always want to, warm myself against your ALIVE skin."
Well, was player really about to go into a hands of a monster just for the sake of keeping it company...
yes.
yes they would.
"How do I know you are not lying to me, monster? I am not coming outside."
"I, me, WILL go? leave. Into the bedroom. I can, WILL, make myself visible to green light. PLAYER must come."
Well, that does settle it.
"Okay, I will come."
Player knew they had survival instincts of a fart on a metro. But curiosity gets the better of them, every time.
They opened the door to the locker slowly, their flashlight back and forth before making their way to the master bedroom. Just beside the bathroom. And, as promised, the skinwalker was luminescent, lying on the queen bed all casually. Huh.
"PLAYER, there YOU are."
"Yes yes, don't boast about it."
"COME, lay beside ME, that is I!"
"...Ok- no. tell me what you want from me first."
"Straight to point I see? WITHNESS. I want warmth. I , for as in me, am cold. And YOU, are bright? warm? HOT."
Players cheeks lit up.
"NO, NO. NOT HOT. STOP IT."
"I, as in me, I LOVE-love? ADORE, PLAYERS red? RED? BLUSH!"
"SHUT UP! I REGRET DOING THIS, I AM GOING HOME-"
The door shut with a loud THUD. As if a sign of a ghost hunt, and it wasn't long before the skinwalker casually grabbed the back of players hoodie and tossed them onto the bed, only to pin them against their body.
"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven-"
The skinwalker tilted it's head to the side as the player spoke the lords prayer, clearly not working.
"...Oh right, you are Algonquian Native American culture...right...."
Player sighed, their eyes glued to every inch of the white boney skin and the somewhat ugly face. God, is this how they die?
But then suddenly, they felt the creatures face nuzzling into their neck. Making air leave Players lungs for a moment, they were so cold, it was as if hugging ice.
"Mmmm, PLAYER is-is? affirmatively so, super warm. I, me, can feel the blood rushing into YOUR heart-heart? Organs."
Yup, this is it, this is where they die. Mother, you were right, they should have just "adopt and raised a cute baby" instead of doing a dangerous job that doesn't even pay nor exist in the job application papers.
But, alas, none of Players fears came true, instead, the skin walker just growled softly against them, cuddling into them and smelling them. Well, it wasn't that bad. Just cold.
"...All of this just to...cuddle?"
"Affirmative? yES. Absolutely, worth it."
Player could not have shaken off the skinwalker even if they tried. not only was it heavy, but incredibly strong too.
"...What the hell is my life at this point? Stuck with a skin walker that is like a puppy..."
"Is that- ME? Am I bad?"
"NOPE. NONONO, I MEAN UH- It's...not something you do everyday, you know?"
"Player doesn't like me?"
"You did try to kill me. So I can't fully like you."
Like you enough just so you keep me alive-
"...I, like, PLAYER."
"What are you doing- why are you itching closer? A lil personal space buddy-"
"What do...I do, to make PLAYER like me...more?"
Their eyes were wide, almost innocent, if not for that terrifying toothy grin, eugh.
"Kiss my ass if I know. You are the one inviting me over- HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING- HEY!"
Players whole body twitched as the skinwalker turned them around and lifted their legs up by the waist.
"W-WAIT. IT'S JUST A SAYING- DON'T ACTUALLY-"
"I'll kiss PLAYER untill they like me- like me? NO. LOVE ME."
Player burried their face into the pillow as the being kissed their rear end. Was this actually happening? In a random persons house- he was having a Skinwalker kissing their ass. It was...definitely an experience.
"SKINWALKER- LET'S NOT-OKAY? YOU DON'T HAVE TO-"
Player let out a whine as they felt their pants slowly being ripped from the kisses- not the kisses exactly, but the teeth, as. Low and behold, a skinwalker does not exactly kiss well.
"A-ah~! NO- STOP. STOP STOP STOP."
The skinwalker stopped. Licking their lips with the same smirk as before. Though then again, they always had that smirk, perhaps it was just something they were stuck with. Just like Player was stuck with them.
"I, me, Apologise to PLAYER. I figured, PLAYER wanted it."
"G-god- yeah...apology accepted- somewhat? God I am so confused..."
As the player burried their face into the pillow once more, they felt the coldness return once more as the skinwalker laid right on top of them, their chest on players back, smelling their soft hair.
"...The weirdest night I ever had...."
"I, as in I, am BETTER then, ONI right?"
"Omg you were there too? God fucking damnit."
"YES. And I hate? DESPISE how they get to...touch you...and not ME."
"Well, that's one thing we share in common, I suppose."
Player turned their head to look at the monster in the eyes, pondering...
"Do you want to go home with me? I know it's not much but uhh...I could use company."
And someone who could eat my ass- god no- what was player thinking? Such a unholy creature.
"YES. VERY. I AM LONELY, TOO."
"Good, then get off me and let's go-"
"5- NO. 10- NO 50 MORE MINUTES."
"SKINWALKER!"
