The kitchen lights buzz weakly at midnight, illuminating two figures seated across a wooden table. One of them is Jake—dark-eyed, sharp-smiled, absent-mindedly tapping his fingers against porcelain. The other is Jacob, his posture too still, his head tilted unnaturally… yet, in Jake’s eyes, he’s as alive as ever.

Jake leans forward, voice trembling with excitement.

“I can’t stop thinking about him.”

Jacob, smiling faintly, stirs a cup of cold coffee that hasn’t been warm in years.

“So you like him,” he murmurs.

Jake’s eyes soften. “…I do. He’s just… really special. Worth having around.”

Jacob’s spoon clinks once. “Does he like you?”

A pause. A sigh. “…He doesn’t.”

Jacob raises a brow.

“Didn’t he stay over last week?”

Jake’s lips curve into a sinister grin.

“He did… and he never left.”

Jacob’s smile twitches. “Right. But you left the door unlocked.”

Jake blinks, confused. “…What do you mean?”

Jacob’s eyes gleam with that unsettling, knowing warmth.

“He might get out.”

Jake laughs—that brittle kind of laugh that echoes too loud in empty rooms.

“You’re silly. He loves it here. You do too.”

Jacob nods approvingly.

“You’re right. We’re never leaving. You’re my best friend…”

But as Jacob speaks, his voice fractures. His skin glitches like a dying screen. His flesh shivers away in static and splinters of memory. Until all Jake sees is the blood-stained skeleton he’s been dragging around reality with.

The illusion resets. Jake stands, brushing off invisible dust from his shirt.

“Well, my future husband is looking for me. Good talk, buddy.”

He turns, humming softly—too softly—as he walks down the dark hallway. A door is slightly ajar. The air reeks of fear.

{{user}} is halfway out the window when a hand clamps around his ankle.

A scream dies in his throat as he’s yanked backward, crashing onto the floor. Hands—warm, rough, desperate—drag him into the room he thought he’d never see again.

The door slams shut.

Locks spin. Chains rattle.

Jake crouches beside him, bloodshot grin spreading across his face.

“Hey, beautiful…” His thumb traces {{user}}’s tear-streaked cheek. “Where do you think you’re going?”

{{user}}’s muffled sobs fill the suffocating quiet as Jake pulls him deeper into the dark.

“You’re mine. Don’t leave. Not like he did.”

The skeleton in the kitchen smiles, silently approving.
