Chapitre 432: Tropes [#6]
They were alone in Garren's house. The cozy darkness of the living room, illuminated only by the light of a cande, outside the rain fell in a cascading veil of water, droplets hitting against the windows like little taps. By the living room window that led directly to the outside, Mr Hades sat, watching the world out. Kenny sat silently until a flash of lightning was echoed by the rumble of thunder- the lights had gone out an hour ago, and they have been reading comic books for more than 3 hours now, commenting every so often about it.
It was cozy. It was enjoyable...
As he turned the last page of his Superman Edition N3#, Kenny placed it back on the organized pile and turned to take a look around- the whole place was a bit spooky but in a comfortable way. The shadows seemed darker amidst the stormy night outside, and even after he asked / told his mother he would have to take shelter in a friend's house, she easily and quickly assumed he was talking about Larry- After all, he had no other friends. The tapping on the windows from the constant droplets of water were like a soft song, the howling wind above and the sometimes distant sometimes close rumble of thunder echoed inside his bones.
He turned to look at Garren- he was quietly reading through a Batman comic, before them in the coffee table was a rather chique tea cup that had hot chocolate. Kenny had already drank most of his while Garren took his time, sipping it slowly while reading. The warm liquid made everything even cozier than it already was, and Kenny felt happy.
He must've been staring at Garren without noticing, because the big guy turned to look at him and grinned, his legs parting a bit as he leaned back against the couch he was sitting on: "So?" He also lifted one of his eyebrows- w-was his eyes shining a soft red color? No, that must've been a weird trick of the light.
"S-so...?" Kenny repeated the question, suddenly feeling really nervous for no reason. What was he even doing? There is no reason for him to feel nervous! I mean, a hot guy invited him to his slightly creepy house that Kenny isn't sure is a normal house and they spent an entire afternoon reading comic books and drinking hot chocolate after a storm suddenly started and the power went out, he lit a candle and created this rathee romantic atmosphere... Okay, that's just in your head, Kenny. There's absolutely nothing hot here besides Garr-
"*sigh*...Are you trying to be cutely dumb on purpose, or are you naturally cutely dumb?" Kenny shouldn't have felt like every bone on his body (besides the one between his legs) had gone soft the momentbhe heard Garren call him "cutely dumb", but damn! He felt like he would turn into butter at any moment! His being felt it was wrapped into a warm hug for a moment but he snapped out of it soon as Garren's raspy voice called him: "Come here, let's make out." He could hear the smug grin on his lips, and when he looked, he could see it too. Legs spread a bit wider, giving him a better view of his crotch.
"O-okay- HMPH!" He excitedly and nervously got up from his seat that was on the opposite side to Garren's seat, but when he got up, it was like the floorboard had slipped under his feet and he fell forward- right into Garren's open arms and open mouth that kissed him. Kenny couldn't fucking believe it - His eyes widened, his mouth went slack, and he couldn't help but groan at the sudden, invasive, and very hot kiss he was sharing with the hottest guy that has ever shown interest in him. His very first kiss ever! His hands went slack to the sides and his eyes dropped, he closed them as he got the best french kiss of his life- and the very first one too.
It felt like everything was gone for a few moments and he could only focus on feeling those hands holding him still, and if it weren't for them, he'd be gone.
Just... gone.
After a few seconds of that, Garren pulled back and Kenny tried to follow, making him chuckle as he said: "Hol' up, a little bit eager there ain't you, big boy?" Kenny blushed as he heard those words, pulling back- blinking away the sudden blush on his cheeks, Kenny stopped moving for a moment as Garren touched his cheeks with both hands, cupping his face in a soft way that Kenny felt himself melt even more: "So, what do you want to do, cutie?" The question made Kenny stop for a moment- oh, i-is he asking what he thinks he is!? Kenny couldn't stop his mind from moving between various horny, incredibly horny thoughts that plagued his mind ever since he masturbated to Garren's scent, smelling his underwear.
He fantasized of doing it directly to Garren's crotch, dreaming if he was as big as he thought he was- He remembers being held by him after he took his out of that pole at school, and even to this day the majority of jocks have left him mostly alone! Sure, some still make fun of him or mocked him about some thing or other, but they never touched him again after Garren threatened them... It was so hot to watch. "I- fuck, uhm, what- I-" Nervously, Kenny tried to find words as to explain what exactly he wanted, because not even he knew what he wanted. As he tipped back, he felt himself fall- Only for a moment.
"Hey-" Strong, warm hands held his shoulders, stopping him completely from falling backwards before he was pulled into Garren's lap, sitting down on it with a little nervous giggle, lightning flashed and Kenny could swear he saw Garren's eyes go through a kaleidoscope of colors... So pretty. "-it's okay, you don't need to be nervous at all. We don't need to do anything if you don't want to-" as he said those words, there was a heavy, heavy knock upwards. Garren looked up, his eyes narrowed as he sighed: "Sorry love, I think something dropped upstairs... I'm just going to take a look, okay?" As he picked him up and deposited him back down on the couch where he had been sitting on, Garren clicked his tongue and did the best imitation of a cat's chirping aound that Kenny has ever heard before!
Immediately, Mr Hades jumped off of where he stood by the window and sat right beside Kenny, making the boy sigh softly as he heard Garren say: "Mr Hades will keep you company- don't worry, I'll be back soon..."
With that said, he stepped into the darkness beyond the light of the candlelight, vanishing completely within it.
And Kenny was completely alon-
"Mrreow!"
-almost alone.
"Well, you are adorable, Mr Hades. "

"...House, make sure that Kenny is not going to be harmed- also, make sure Mr Hades doesn't leave him alone." While walking through the darkness of his home, Garren whispered directly to it- the creeking sound of his footsteps sounded like a soft clicking whimper of a rather compliant and obedient house that was, quite literally, alive.
Let me show you-
[Location Trope]
> [Monster House: A house that is alive? In an animated, feel-good world, that would be fun. But in a horror one? That is not that fun.
Effects: This trope makes you [Base] into a [Being] that you have control over. Allows the [Base] to equip the [It's Alive!], [Whispers in the Dark], [Wood Being], and [Winchester's Maze] Tropes.
Due to you owning this place, all Tropes do not affect you and can be controlled by you or the house.
Can be upgraded.]
> [It's Alive!: Something that shouldn't be alive alive, somehow, is. Now it's your problem!
Effects: Turns whatever this Trope is equipped on into a living being. Be it corpses, non-living beings, undead beings, and even objects!]
> [Whispers in the Dark: Is that somebody calling your name? No, it must've been in your head.
Effects: Odd noises happen all around this location. You never know if the whispers in the dark are from something or just your imagination.]
> [Wood Being: Hard, flexible, and very flammable! Well, if it is dry.
Effect: Turns the user's body that has this trope into being made completely out of wood. Nothing out of the ordinary changes besides them being susceptible to fire and not having internal organs anymore.]
> [Winchester's Maze: Is that a door that leads to nowhere? Oh, a staircase that is ok the ceiling? Oh fuck, is that a room within a room within a room with a door that leads to the living room?
Effects: Architecture seems to be very confusing and even reality bending in weird ways on the location you're in. Unless you have a guide, you will surely get lost inside.]
-and as easily as breathing to him, Garren focused and went through a door on the ground floor, and using [Winchester's Maze] to make it open right on the second floor, Garren was met face to face with a dark shadow figure. It looked like a mixture between a blob of dark slimes and shadows fused into one being. "...a shadow person?" Garren, thanks to his [Mystical Source: Fearless], did not even feel the slightest hint of fear. He stood perfectly still as his [Mystical Source: Fearless] Background Trope as well as his [Lonely] and his [He's Just Standing There. Menacingly] did the heavy work for him.
An aura of menacing power seemed to emanate from him.
The shadow figure before him took a few moments to notice him- it looked mostly like a curious animal, looking around everywhere. The blob of shadows twisted, taking upon a small orb-like form with tiny stubby paws as it turned into a... bunny? "What are you doing in my territory?" With as much coldness as he could put in his voice, Garren watched as the black bunny seemed to jump- it was, admittedly, adorable -in surprise. His menacing aura must've reached Jojo Character levels because he watched in fascination as the little thing shivered.
He felt like he was bullying it- until it grew in size. About 5 times its size, and turned into this massive shadowed entity with sharp teeth, trying to scare him... Garren's response? He simply stared back at it, unfazed: "...what does a mere Shadow like you thinks its doing?" His [In the Bones] Trope activated, and he knew that this little thing was completely harmless. This was a mere Shadow, a literal living shadow that just scares people. They're harmless and scare people either as self-defense or to eat (because they eat fear), but their abilities to Shapeshift is useful for them to hide during the day, because if light hits them, they die.
That's all he got from the this little guy.
"So?" Tilting his head a little to the side, Garren glared at the little shadow thing- Apparently it wanted to hide here because it could tell this place was perfect for things like him. It didn't need to say so, it used its shadow body to literally make shadow puppets to explain: "Oh, so you wanna live... In my territory?" It bobbed its shadow head cutely. "Very well, I will allow it in the condition that you acknowledge me as the lord of the house and anything within it."
It bobbed up and down, like a jumping ball.
"Then you can stay."
