"Love isn't supposed to be easy," he suddenly says and she tsks.
"There you go again." She taunts and he laughs. He pulls her to him and their faces are so close. She blushes like crazy while the boy just gives her a smile and whispers something worth her time.
"It's supposed to be worth it."
This time, she kisses him.

"I missed you." Jeff whispers at my ear and it's both ticklish and funny. I've been with him these past few days and he missed me? I laughed and he's probably thinking the same thing. First he smiles and he gets serious. I stop laughing because it's not funny anymore, he seems to be frustrated and he hugs me tight. I hug him back and he buries his face on my neck. He seems to be mumbling but I don't get it. He seems to get what I'm saying and he leans back, looking at me in the eyes.
"Maybe you were here physically," he stops and points at my heart and I know he feels it hammering in my body. "But your heart wasn't mine."
I lean our foreheads together and smile at him. "It was only for a time, Jeff."
I pull him up and he smiles. "Come on, the cake's probably almost done!"
He laughs as I pull him through the crowd of Creepypastas and I know why I'm just so glad to be back.
I have my real family here.
Jeff lets go of my hand and I look back at him confused. He smiles. "Go on and eat the cake, I just have to do something." I smile as he looks at Slenderman at the corner of his eyes. We all know Jeff would be dramatic and he doesn't like crying—it's hard for him to cry. He just wails, most of the time. I didn't reach for his hand anymore and watch as he goes to Slenderman.

JEFF
"Slendy?"
He looks down at me and I don't know why but I think he's smiling.
"Yes, Jeff?" Yep. He seems happy.
"Can we talk outside?" His happy demeanor fell out of the window as his shoulders sagged. I hear him sigh and I ruffled my hair in impatience. "I swear, if you disappear right now—" I said but he quickly turns and walked outside. He's signing and I rolled my eyes. I look back and ________'s still looking at me. She's worried and I smiled my goofiest smile but she didn't laugh. She does smile back and mutters a 'Good luck.' I turn and catch up with Slendy and closed the door.
I breathe in and out heavily. "Okay so—"
My voice breaks and his head snaps at me.
"Fuck you." I muttered and looked away.
He laughs and nods. I feel embarrassed and I just huff. He messes with my hair and I frown. He's not taking this seriously and I don't want any drama. I try to slap his hand away but he keeps dodging. He suddenly keeps my head steady and he's looking down at me.
"I am sorry."
I breathe out and nodded.
"Yeah, yeah. I forgive you."
He seems to be happy again and he brings me inside. I was left with _________ and she has a plate with a slice of cake on it. She cuts the cake and forks it. She lifts it to me and I chomp it off the fork. She smiles a little and I gulped the cake.
"It's okay. It's alright."
She nods and grins. We ate the cake together and all of us decided that it was time to retire. ________ flopped down our bed and she giggles as she dragged me down with her. I smile and hug her tight, taking a whiff of her scent because she smells good—really, really good. She wraps her arms around me. She nuzzles my neck and I can't help but shiver. She laughs a little before we just stayed like that—relishing in each others' warmth. Before I knew it, her arms around me loosen and her breaths became shallow in an even pattern. She has her eyes closed and I smile at her peaceful look.
I kiss her forehead and I knew that from now on—I glare out the window as the moon hasn't gone down—no one can hurt her.
The next morning, I stayed in bed just to meet ________'s waking glory. She yawns and rubs her eyes but she doesn't get up. She blinks a lot before staring at me. She raises her eyebrow at me and yawns a little. I'm amused that she's not saying anything but maybe because she was sleepy considering we slept at 2 am and she woke up at 10 am. She's still yawning and I wait for her to say something before I do. She continues to stare at me and then finally smiles. I smile back—confused why she's only smiling now.
She then proceeds, "Did you, like, watch me the whole night?"
I nodded.
She smiles and shakes her head as she sat up. I'm still confused but I let the conversation go. She then gets up while I watch her. She looks back at me in the corner of her eyes and turns to the closet, flushing bright red. I stand next to her, staring at the closet for a goddamn reason. She finally shakes off her stupor and opens the door, mentioning me to leave. I shrugged and left. It's noisy downstairs and I smile when I step on the last step of the stairs. I saw our normal routine—all of us are eating but this time we're eating in a more human way. I guess we got used to it.
Slenderman looks at me and nods. I nodded back and sat beside an empty chair—that's for ________. He gives me a plate with eggs and bacon. I smile at him and I started eating without _______. After a while, she came down with a sleeveless shirt and just shorts. Everybody greets her good morning and she sits next to me, leaning on my shoulder as she yawns. She blinks, a lot, before looking at the food. She smiles and starts to eat. I finished first and watched her as she slowly eats. She's still sleepy and it makes me smile at the cute sight.
She finishes after a while and smiles back at me.
"Want to go somewhere?" I asked and she shrugs. She's still sleepy but they way she smiles at me made me sure that this is real. Not just another dream. She holds my hand. "Sure, why not?" I smile, nodding and told her to go up and change in something nice. She looks at me weirdly but does what I say anyway. I was about to grab my jacket but a tendril stopped me and I groaned.
"Slenderman, what the hell?"
He appears in front of me. "You're going on a date with this thing?"
I pout and cross my arms. He looks at me, unamused, I guess, and throws my signature jacket anywhere in the room. My jaw drops to the floor and I felt like he's being smug. He carries me by his tendril and we go up to my room. I hear _________ whining and I realized the other girl Creepypastas are taking care of her.
Oh god.
So that means Slenderman will be picking up my outfit.
Oh god.
I was taken to my room and I was dressed casually before we teleported somewhere. Before I knew it. We were in the mall. In the mall for fucking humans. I almost died at the number of people in the mall—most importantly the department store. Slenderman just stands still and I realized, he's camouflaging. I can't help but laugh a little since every mannequin looked like him. He doesn't look at me and stays still. He's at the suit section and he tells me in my mind that I should choose a suit.
Oh god, are you serious?
At the end, I did and I tried every suit. It sucked. Slenderman, however, saw every one of them and he decided to steal every thing I picked. I also snatched a long sleeved shirt with a v-neckline. Before we teleported back, I heard someone said, "Wasn't there a mannequin here a while ago?" It made me laugh so hard but Slenderman's not even looking at me. We arrived in the house and in my room. He puts e suits on the bed gently and looked at me as if he was saying to try everything on for others to see. I guess I was right. I saw almost every guy there and I sighed. What am I? A model?
I glare at them and closed the door, quickly changing into the first suit.
I went out and they quickly said no.
What the actual fuck.
This will surely be a long day. I wonder how's _______ holding up?
~~~~~~~~~~~
READER-CHAN'S POV
It's almost been 30 minutes and we're still not even close to picking a good dress for my date.
"No."
"Yes, so cute!"
"Oh my god, DRESSES HELL NAH!"
"HELL YES!"
I'm having a headache from these girls. Savannah looks neutral with it so I decided to ask her. She shrugs and lifts her hand, signaling me that it was 50/50 for her. I groaned and looked down, shivering at the flows dress. This is a fucking date, not a wedding. I blushed and went back to change. When I was choosing their picks, suddenly, Savannah went inside holding a sleeveless black dress with with v straps. Savannah's smiling and I can see her fangs. She gives me the dress and I examine it. It looks nice.
I shrug and shooed her out. I finally changed into it and went outside. All the girls were speechless. Savannah comes up and gives me a white sandal with a 2 inches heel and she smiles. Then she frowns, as if she's confused.
"Wait, there's something missing."
She told me to take it off and I did.
I was left in the changing room—in my underwear as I waited for almost an hour to let them finish. They gave me the dress and I saw the changes; it was beautiful. It had some added skirt by layers and white paint.
Wait, white paint?
"You painted it?" I asked them and grabbed the dress. I felt the paint and it was dry but smooth. It was a surprise and I smiled at them because it was actually stunning. They're grinning at me and I just knew what was on their minds. I quickly went back to the changing room and I changed into. I wore the dress and the heels. I went out like that and they quickly pushed me back into the room as they decided what make-up I should wear.
Oh my god.
Help.
I wonder how Jeff's doing though?
~~~~~~~~~
JEFF'S POV
Okay. So far, none. None of it worked.
Fuck this.
As I was about to get my spare jacket, BEN somehow found that v-neckline shirt that I stole. He whistles and I'm confused. BEN looks at the others and some of them shrugged while others said yes. Slenderman seemed neutral...I think. They shoved me in the room and told me to change in the v-neckline shirt. I did and put pants. It fits me and I look in the mirror, whistling.
I look damn fine.
I grin when I walk out and they said yeah.
Okay, now that was decided. I looked at the window to see the sun almost setting. It's about time ________'s done, right? I walked up to Sally's room, since that's where they held ______ and I knocked. I heard them giggling and I wonder what's funny.
"Who's at the door?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Jeff."
Another series of giggles.
"_________'s not yet ready. Wait for a bit, yeah?" Jane told me and I scoffed.
I waited downstairs yet I feel fidgety. I looked in my closet for something and saw it. I quickly shove it in my pocket and bit my lip, smiling. I hear someone going down the stairs and my eyes immediately glued to the figure. It's _________ and I'm breathless. She's stunning and she's red in the face. It makes me blush too and I wait for her to come up to me. When she does, her smile lights up the whole room and she holds my hand—I'm melting. We go out and thank god for Silver for hacking into a car and stealing it. _______ doesn't seem to notice it and enters the car. I do too and we drive in silence.
I couldn't drive properly because I've been stealing glances.
And it's making me breathless every second.
She's so beautiful. She fidgets and I could see she's nervous too.
For some reason, I feel like this was our first date. I stretched my hand to hers and she quickly holds it tightly. We're both smiling and I can't wait for this night to start—actually, scratch that, it already is starting. And I'm feeling great.
"Where are we going?" She finally asks but it's in a whisper.
I wink at her.
"Somewhere."
