Something new...

by ChanceF

Chapter 1

Chance's breath was shallow as he quickly ran to the nearest wall, but the killer, 1x just slowly stalked behind, knowing that they've reached the dead end.

 

Chance tried to keep his composure up, holding against the wall as he grinned wider, trying to come up with a way to get out of this.

 

That's when 1x1x1x1 got close, practically pinning Chance against the wall, the gambler blushed, while the killer growled, before they spoke up.

 

"You know, you look very pretty up close..-" Chance said in a flirty tone, fluttering his eyelashes afterwards.

 

"What." 1x was thrown back, staring at Chance with wide eyes, he was literally pure hatred and this stupid- dumb.. annoying gambler decided to flirt with him, he started feeling something else.. something much more different than hatred...

 

He quickly snapped back though, noticing that Chance tried to escape, quickly pinning him and stabbing him with his sword, killing Chance immediately.

 

For the first time in his life... 1x didn't feel satisfaction after killing someone... it was almost like he was... sad? No- no It couldn't be! He couldn't care about some pathetic survivor's life... but that gambler was messing with his head.

 

He decided to scurry away from Chance's corpse, making his way to the other survivors, quickly finding and killing each of them... way too quickly.

 

Before 1x could even blink ( metaphorically ) he was back in the killers realm, calling it a day as he laid on the bed, looking at the ceiling. 

 

His thoughts went back to that charming idiot that flirted with him today- wait.. did he think "charming"? that gambler DEFINITELY did something - 1x thought before burying his head into the pillow and screaming into it.

 

He didn't even know what he felt to this guy but... he felt his hatred subside whenever he thought about him... or maybe he was just imagining it?

 

He was pretty drowsy anyway, shutting his eyes as he was slowly taken by slumber.

Chapter 2: confusing feelings

It was the beginning of another round, 1x noticed that Chance was here, but decided to avoid him, still confused about his newfound feelings, he went for Two Time first, quickly wasting their first life, but they got away after Chance has stunned him.

Okay- maybe he DID hate that guy- he ran after him, but couldn't bring himself to raise up his sword, he changed his target, noticing Elliot nearby, killing him almost immediately.

Elliots dead body fell limply onto the ground, staining it with red as 1x smirked to himself.

That's how the rest of the round go, 1x killed everyone, avoiding Chance, before there was no one else left, he decided to wait till the timer was low before running at Chance, not actually wanting to kill him.

"What's wrong sugarplum? You seemed to be avoiding me this round-!" Chance poined out, grinning as he flipped a coin

"SHUT UPP-!!" 1x shouted out before getting shot by the gambler.. the timer ended and they got send back into their realms

Chapter 3: Getting close

It's been a few rounds since 1x1x1x1 hasn't seen Chance... honestly, 1x began to miss him.. wait no, he couldn't miss that moron, that stupid... pathetic.. gambler... that charming gambler that messed with his head.

1x groaned as another round started, chasing after survivors as usual before he noticed them, he noticed Chance, but decided to focus on finishing off the other survivors, he believed in himself that this time- MAYBE he could finish off Chance.

And there he was, finishing the last survivor before running at Chance, who was just flipping the coin.

"I must say... the way you're killing the others is pretty.. impressive.." Chance said in a flirty tone again, causing 1x's cheeks to burn red with anger and embarrassment.

1x threw Chance against the wall, immediately pinning the smirking survivor down "I already told you SHUT UP!!!"

He shouted, causing Chance to chuckle and burst out laughing for an unknown reason, though.. it was a lovely sound for 1x HE COULDNT THINK THAT..

1x leaned closer, studying Chances features before Chance looked up, their faces were close.. almost touching, they inched closer... and closer.. before...

 

the timer ran out sending them back into separate realms!

Notes:

im evil so they wont kiss YET

Chapter 4: idk how to title that

Its been a while since they almost kissed and neither of them would say anything to one another, neither do anything... they were just avoiding eachother..

Chance's team started getting suspicious with them not even stunning the killer, some were angered, since Chance wasn't helping, Guest1337 decided to step in.

"Chance.. are you okay? You didn't even stun the killer once" The soldier said, observing Chance's features intensely.

"Oh-! Its nothing!! I just.. I'm not feeling lucky today..!" Chance said, almost as if pulled from his thoughts.

"Not feeling lucky??" Guest1337 asked suspiciously, but decided not to push it. "alright, whatever you say but... if you need to talk about it just tell me... we could discuss it over whiskey."

"Yeah yeah.. but I'm okay, don't worry about it." Chance said, before Guest went back to helping the team.

Chance sighed and sat down against the wall, his mind going back to that one night.. 1x so close to him... feeling his breath against his skin, their lips almost touching... it felt so wrong... 1x1x1x1 was a killer after all... but it also felt so.. right? the thought of them kissing brought blush upon Chance's face... though Chance was unsure whether the killer could even love him, as Shedletsky often said, he was a manifestation if pure hatred, thats all he ever felt but.. maybe...

Just as he snapped back from his thoughts he realised only one of his teammates was left... then dead, leaving him as the last man standing.

"Gambler!" Chance heard 1x call out while approaching him, he panicked and ran away, leaving 1x1x1x1 confused...

1x thought that the gambler knew that he didn't want to kill him at this point, the fact that Chance ran made him kinda.. sad? no.. he couldn't be... he felt tears pricking in his eyes, he didn't even know why he was crying himself.. maybe... he just wanted Chance's attention..?

Chapter 5: Confessions?

It's been a couple rounds until 1x1x1x1 saw Chance again... he was observing them while murdering survivors one by one.

He felt like he needed to tell Chance what he's feeling at least to have an explanation... he didn't know what he was feeling after all.

He was chasing his creator, Shedletsky who was almost out of breath... maybe he could say it to him first?

"Creator." 1x started, stopping in his tracks as Shedletsky turned around as well

"uhh.. yeah??" Shedletsky huffed, taking the opportunity that 1x stopped to take breath.

"There is something weird happening to me when... I see that gambler.."

"Something weird?? Like what... don't tell me you have hots for him."

1x looked at Shedletsky judgingly before speaking up again "Well.. no it's just that... I can't stop thinking about him and.. feeling weird stuff.."

Shedletsky listening intensely, absolutely forgetting who he was talking too. "Well.. I can't blame you, I must admit he's kind of charming-" Shedletsky said before realising who he was talking to again "WAIT- YOU DO HAVE HOTS FOR HIM- YOURE FEELING SOMETHING OTHER THAN-"

before Shedletsky could finish his sentence 1x kicked him and stabbed him, killing him.. he has hots for that gambler..? Impossible... since Shedletsky was the only person besides Chance left, 1x ran at him, deciding to say it to him rather than some... pathetic excuse of a creator.

"Chance." 1x grabbed Chance by the shoulders, stopping him from leaving "we need to talk..."

Chance gulped, looking at the killer before speaking up "talk about.. what?"

"My feelings for you... i feel like... i don't hate you..."

Chance looked at the killer with wide eyes, the other looked at the gambler with anticipation, wanting an answer.

"I can't get you off my head... I.. I don't know what that is..." The killer finished speaking, curiously observing Chance

"I.. I think you might be in love with me..." Chance spoke nervously, looking back at the killer

"love..? Could you show me more of it..?" The killer asked, taking a step forward, closer to Chance.

"I... I'm not sure... if I'm ready...-" Before any of them could say anything more the timer ran out, teleporting them back to their realms.

1x1x1x1 felt a pang of sadness at the rejection... he wasn't even angry at this point... he "loved" Chance too much... he was just sad... and heartbroken... why wasnt Chance ready to love him like he loved them?

Notes:

I'm evil so Chance kinda rejected him
