Lets Play in the Red Room (for Lonedigger) [18+]

[MrSadisticNight]

Basic plot and starter point

“Crimson, such a lovely colour on her, wouldn't you agree audience?” The man on the screen said. He was known by the name Reu online and what he did was provide a very specific type of entertainment. He ran a red room. He killed for the entertainment of others, of course for a price. He wore a mask to hide his face. Today he had collected a woman and slowly cut her limb from limb, doing everything in his power to keep her alive for as long as possible. Once he was done sawing off the woman's head from her lifeless body, he moves away from the pile of remains, her head in hand, blood covering his rubber gloves and butchers apron, still warm blood dripping all over the floor until he wonders to a spot in front of the camera where it starts to pool under his feet. “Now before I bid you adieu, I have an announcement. I am looking for an assistant to help me procure the items needed for our little show.” He says, gesturing back at the pile of the woman's limbs and body parts; indicating that she was merely an item to him.

“I do not care about look nor gender, just show up at one of the listed spots at the time next to it and catch my attention somehow.” Reu slowly creeps his way up to the camera so the only thing in view on the monitors of anyone watching is the mask covering this murder's face. “Now farewell and good luck.” With that, the screen went black signifying the end of the show.

 

One week later Reu sat on a bench, staring at a fountain waiting for anyone or anything to catch his eye. Reu didn't look like anything special; he had messy black hair, bags under his hazel eyes, and was dressed in a white button-up with black slacks. He truly blended in with the crowd and that is what he wanted. Over this past week this man had traveled all across the world in search someone suitable to work with but to no prevail. This was the final stop, a park within walking distance of his house. Reu had been sitting there for hours; just in this day alone, he has seen an attempted murder, kidnapping, mugging, utter tomfoolery, and more. None of this interested him though; nothing caught his eye, they were all just fools trying to do what they thought he wanted. Just when he was about ready to walk away and give up looking for a helper, someone caught his eye caught his eye. They looked small, gentle, breakable; absolutely perfect. With that, he decided this person in the one; they are his perfect assistant. With a charming smile on his face, he made his move. Gently tapping them on the shoulder to grab their attention and once he had it, he spoke. “Hello, my name is Reu and you have caught my attention.”

If you could start that would be delightful

[LoneDigger]

Kaden seemed blissfully unaware of the dangers he was walking right into. Honestly the fact that he made it this long throughout the day without something awful happening was just astounding. Maybe he didn't pay attention to signs, or maybe he still held onto the childish belief that no one was all bad. That everyone had something bright inside them and if they seemed otherwise all you needed to do was be nice to change them.

He was just too soft for the world, maybe his upbringing was to blame. His parents did everything in their power to insure he had the most comfortable life free from the realities of the real life. Everything was given to him, and he was never taught about the evils. They thought this would protect him, but no one can go on living without running into trouble eventually.

And with his parents gone he was left was nothing but their well meaning, but terrible advice and an inheritance.

 

The lighted haired male turned around when he felt someone touch him, he was wearing a slightly over sized sweater, which only made him stand out more because it was Spring. But Kaden was always cold for someone reason, he could never get warm enough so it was winter clothing almost all year round.

 

"Reu?"

 

He looked the other up and down with a smile, the only thing he gathered was that this guy was some kind of professional, maybe a bit over worked and tired judging from the dark circles under his eyes.

 

"Nice to meet you... I'm Kaden."

[MrSadisticNight]

"I must apologize if I startled you, for you see your appearance piqued my interest for many reasons. Like why are you wearing that sweater in spring? I do get that it still can get a little cold today is not one of those days." Reu said keeping his charming grin plastered on his face, eyes gleaming with the joy he felt seeing his target smile at him. It was a small thing, yes, but to him, it was a sign that this boy was trusting and possibly easily persuaded into doing what he wanted. "I know this is going to be an odd request having just met you and all but would you let me take you somewhere? I mean; the woman who lives right next to me, sweet old woman, treats me as her own son and I treat her like a mother, has been on my back about finding someone to share the rest of my life with and that I have been working hard and yadda yadda yadda. And well I don't know how much time shes got, she could have years or week left before she rots I don't know, but I feel like enjoy at least thinking I met somebody." He runs his hands through his already messy hair, just making it worse and his charming smile fading into one of someone that is nervous faking for others. Was this a game to him? Maybe a little, but this boy clearly didn't know who he was so why not toy with him for a while before he decides if he could help him at all or if he's just going to be the object for his show.

[LoneDigger]

"It's my favorite sweater! Do you like it?"

 

Kaden laughed, tugging at the bottom of his clothing slightly. That was his own little nervous habit. He was pretty innocent, but he knew that made it easy for others to tease him. And he couldn't tell if the other was making fun of him or being serious.

The way he dressed was pretty immature and a bit lazy, he only wore winter clothes. But even more so he leaned towards things that were comfortable. Like sweat pants, hoodies, and if he could have he would have worn pjamas all day. Sometimes he did at home, but at least he didn't wear them outside.

 

"That's so sad... I'm sorry to hear that. My parents passed away recently so I know what you're going through..."

 

The other spoke softly, warmly touching the other's arm to comfort him and show that he genuinely meant what he said. Little did Kaden know that trying to comfort a psychopath never turned out that well.

[MrSadisticNight]

"Yes, it's very charming. It compliments your physique." Ryu says with a soft smile and laugh. He found himself being charmed by this boys innocents and insecurities. It made him just want to crush him and turn him into a crying mess who couldn't live without the taller man. "Yeah, so will you help? It would mean the world to me" He says leaning into the boy's touch and reaching out to touch his hair. "I think she would like you. She always had a soft spot for kind, trusting people." Shit, this kid had a smile that made him feel something that he hadn't felt in years, attachment. With every moment he stayed near this boy the more he wanted to tear him from limb from limb and sew him back together. "Hell I'm starting to like you and I've only known you for a few minutes!" He lets out a loud, natural laugh, causing him to start leaning on Kaden.

[LoneDigger]

"I'll the do the best I can..."

 

Kaden promised softly, bowing his head slightly when his hair was touched. He was kind of shy and couldn't even keep his face up. But he seemed content otherwise, smiling still and a faint redness had spread over his cheeks.

He just didn't even know what to say! It was so sad... but if there was something positive that could be made of a bad situation then he would like to fix it.

 

"Aw, I like you too! Um... Would you like to get something to drink? I don't know which places around here are any good though..."

 

He murmured, glancing around as if trying to find an answer. He loved to drink coffee, tea, any kind of warm flavored beverage.

[MrSadisticNight]

"Yeah, that sounds nice. Do you like flowers? Cause I know a good place that is in a garden. I can take you." Reu proceeds to walk away in the direction of a small town whilst holding onto the shoulder of Kaden. He was perfect, so gullible, so sweet, probably a cryer but he can say for sure just yet, maybe he should just drag him away and show him the man that he ever so kindly invited for a drink. Maybe he should drug him instead, so many options so little time to decide because before he knew it he was right in front of a small building with a large greenhouse.

"Oh, we're here, sorry I was caught up in thought. Lets head inside, they have a killer green tea. They grow their own leaves in there" He nods towards the greenhouse as he walks inside the small building, the smell of tea and baked goods wafting through the air. "What would you like? I'll cover it. I like their muffins and green tea. As I said, they grow some of there own leaves."

[LoneDigger]

"Of course! I love all sorts of nature really... It's harder to find that in the city though..."

 

He remarked with a small laugh, rubbing his own arm a bit shyly. He was trying to be positive about moving here, but he really missed his home out in the country side so much... But! Going to a garden was just the thing he needed to feel cheerful again and be connected to nature again. And even better he had a friend to go with.

He happily followed the other, noting how the way he held his shoulder was so strong and firm... It was like his friend didn't want him to get lost, so thoughtful!

Anyone one else with half sense would realize that was the kind of hold of someone possessive and potentially dangerous, but he didn't see bad, only the good.

Maybe Kaden was just as delusional as Reu, only instead of fantasizing gore his reality was the fluffy kind he pretended it to be.

 

"You don't have to pay! I'll take care of it." The boy smiled, "I'll have what you're having."

 

Reu probably knew what was best since he had been here before, right?

[MrSadisticNight]

"No really, I got it You didn't turn away from me when I gave you my outlandish request. Its the least I could do." He orders two muffins and two glasses of green tea after the items are given he carries them to a back corner of the greenhouse where there was a small table and chairs. "So I'm guessing that you're new to the area." He says before taking a bite from his muffin, staring at the other, his eyes quickly becoming hollow, showing that his will to continue the facade is fading. "I mean, this place isn't known but not even knowing where any place was. How love have you been here? Week or two?"

[LoneDigger]

"Oh... Alright then!"

 

Kaden giggled, if the other wanted to do this for him so badly then why keep insisting otherwise? He followed the other closely as if they were already best friends and not just strangers who happened to meet half an hour ago. The blond sat down and wrapped his hands around the cup of tea, liking how warm it felt against his fingers and palm. He nodded his head.

 

"I've only been here a couple weeks... I was actually kind of worried to go out. I don't know anyone so I just stayed inside instead of trying to learn the town."

 

He confessed as he brought up the mug to his lips to take a sip.

[MrSadisticNight]

"So I guess I'm kinda like your tour guide" In an overly sarcastic voice he starts mimicking a tour guide "And on your left, you will see Lavender and on your right, you will see some dasys." He chuckles as his smile starts to waver and he looks down at his glass deep into thought, not about anything, just counting the number of people nearby and how many blooms the Rose plant had. DOing just about anything to keep his composure. "Hey I hate to push but I should be getting home soon, so if you want you can come by to hang out and meet my almost mother or we can hang out another time. sometime soon."

[LoneDigger]

Kaden suddenly stood up from the table, wandering away towards the said daisies, but he always glanced over his shoulder to make sure that Reu waited right where he was. It was as if he was scared to loose his new friend, but reading the sign said while usually the taking of plants from the garden was forbidden, there was an excess of daisies so the sign said he was welcomed to pick one. He carefully plucked one out before returning to their table and gently placing the flower in Reu's hair with a smile. That was better... the other was looking kind of... scary for a moment, but why? Maybe he was just tired and Kaden was overeading him. But the flower made him look cute so he giggled.

 

"Sorry... I think you look handsome!"

 

He nodded, but he really didn't want to go home yet. Not when he was enjoying his time with another person for the first time in such a long while. He tried to make his home warm and perfect, but there always something so cold about it. He didn't know why.

 

"I'd love to meet her..."

 

He smiled shyly, because maybe that was the more polite answer. The real reason was obviously that he wanted to hang out with Reu, not that he didn't care about the elderly women, just that the other had his attention more.

[MrSadisticNight]

"You may see me as handsome but there really isn't anything about me that makes me that. I'm not a good person, I'm not the person you should put your trust in." Reu says, saying the truth; this kid shouldn't trust them, they should have run as fast as he could, but honestly, at this point, there is no escape from his grasp. Its too late for this kid to run and hide. At this point, all he needs to do is get the boy home, and that opportunity has come just as expected. "Wait Really? Awesome! I didn't think you would say yes so easily! I think she might just die from happiness when she meets you!" He runs his fingers through his hair causeing the daisy to fall onto his shoulder in the prossess. He picks it up by its stalk gently and places it in Kaden's hair, useing just about the last bit of his composure to keep a smile on his face. "I love it really but I think it looks better on you."

[LoneDigger]

It seemed the other's fair warning was lost on Kaden since at that point he was out of earshot picking the flower from the garden. Right now all he could see was how happy the other was that he was agreeing to met the elderly lady who he considered like a grandmother to him.

 

"Really? Well, then we'll have to be careful not to over excite her then..."

 

He smiled shyly, not wanting to cause any trouble even if he should have known the other was just kidding. When the daisy was moved to his hair the male smiled, even if was supposed to be for Reu.

 

"I guess it suits me!"

[MrSadisticNight]

Reu stands up and extends his hand for Kaden to take it. "Now if may I would like to escort you to my home so we can make someone's day. Who knows you may make them happy for the rest of there life." He says with a soft laugh. Once they finally left the shop it was a quick walk to an area with a bunch of quaint looking houses, some of them cooky cutter types others not. There was one house that stood out among the cute little houses that had people sitting outside reading. This house had all the windows covered by blackout curtains and zero yard ornaments. "Home sweet home. I'll walk you to the sitting room then I'll grab Margret." He opens up the door and the smell of bleach and the underlying tone of iron flows through the air. "Take a seat anywhere, I'll be right back." The taller male walks away into a barely lit hallway.

[LoneDigger]

Kaden paused suddenly. Something didn't feel right at all... why he was feeling dread? Like there was something evil hiding nearby, but he didn't know where since this seemed like a nice neighborhood. But something was different about his house and the way it seemed almost holed up. He hesitated to follow the other inside, glancing at the people on the porch reading. Who were they?

[MrSadisticNight]

After a few minutes Reu retuned from the shadows, the smell of iron becomes undeniable. Some kind of thick, dark ooze was trailing behind him. "Awe, it seems like your late" The taller male throws a human head with long brown hair and smudged makeup at Kaden. "About a week late. A real pity, her screams sounded so sweet and you really were her type. It was a real pain to get her here. She was so busy flirting with the younger, cuter boys." He walks up to the boy and puts his hands on either side of his face, smearing congealed blood everywhere. "I really am happy that you agreed to come with me, and now you can stay with me." he says with a wicked smile on his face.

[LoneDigger]

Kaden's first reaction which was oh so helpful to his own situation at the first sight of real gore in his life was to almost faint, but unfortunately for him he didn't fall unconscious, just down on his hands and knees, vomiting.

He was so traumatized his stomach betrayed him and his mind was screaming at him, but he couldn't move. Paralyzed by fear until suddenly the other touched him and something snapped as he pushed the other back with a scream of terror, turning around to bolt for the door.

[MrSadisticNight]

"Na ah ah. Not so fast kiddo! Wouldn't want people to find out my little secret." Reu reaches out and grabs Kaden by his oversized sweater. "Come on you don't want to leave yet, do you? We haven't even had our fun yet. I have someone downstairs just waiting for your help. I think they would really love to see a new face." The taller male starts pulling the boy into the hallway; smearing the droplets of blood that had fallen onto the ground.

He finally pulled the boy into an all concrete room where there was someone clearly alive but knocked out by some kind of drug. "You see I have been on the hunt for someone to help me with my little show and you just seemed perfect, so why do you look at her. Isn't she pritty? Don't you want to rip her limb from limb as she begs for mercy all the while everyone watching is getting off at the sight of her crimson blood?"

[LoneDigger]

Kaden thrashed, but his favorite sweater was proving to be his greatest down fall as the looseness of a fabric had given the other just enough slack to grab him, if not for the over sized clothing he could have been able to get away.

But there was no time for regrets, right now he had to make this psycho realize he was not cut out for this job!

 

"N-No! I just wanted to meet your--"

 

Then finally it hit the naive male, the whole grandmother story was just a huge lie. This wasn't real, it had to be some nightmare.

[MrSadisticNight]

"Looky here, boy wonder finally figured it out!" Reu said in a mocking tone coiling his arms around Kaden; keeping him within his grasp, doing everything in his power to calm the boy down. "Shh. You may fear me, fear all of this, but this is what I have to do to survive you see. If you help me, stay with me; you will forever have a friend in me; forever have a love with me. You will never be alone if you help me. You do want to have somebody by your side right?" He says tightening his grip, keeping the boy in a position so he couldn't swing at him.

[LoneDigger]

"I... I don't understand... Why did you lie to me? Because you wanted me to be your friend?"

 

As if he could ever be friends with such a monster. And how dare he get blood all over his favorite sweater. It made him want to vomit again. But as innocent as he was, Kaden knew that pissing off the guy who was capable of killing for pleasure would not be in his best favor. He'd have to handle this carefully, taking a deep breath to calm his erratic breathing.

 

"... No one wants to be alone."

[MrSadisticNight]

"Hmm, you could say that. You could also say that I need another set of hands so help me out around here. As you maybe could figure out. Blood can get real messy." Reu says, smearing more blood along the smaller boys exposed flesh. The colour contrast completely infatuating him. "Your right, No one wants to be alone. Not even a monster like me. So what do you say? Do you want to stay by my side and see all sorts of things you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams or your darkest nightmares? Or leave and face whatever comes to you alone?"

[LoneDigger]

"I... I'm really not good with blood as you could probably tell from before... But I could be useful in other ways, like..."

 

He hurried to think of something nonviolent.

 

"Like I could help keep your house clean, and cook, and... stuff like that!"

 

Kaden was so nervous he couldn't even talk right, and was struggling even to say the simplest of things. Even if he had wanted to, it wasn't like he could hurt people. He was too sensitive, just having the red liquid touching his face was enough to make him want to tear his own skin off.

[MrSadisticNight]

"That would work for now but." Reu slowly slides his hands up to cover Kaden's eyes. "But I would want you to get used to it. To find the beauty within it. Wouldn't that be nice? Finding the bright side of the dirtiest, ugliest things." He lets go of the boy altogether, the woman in the back of the room still out cold moving slightly. The taller male starts walking out of the room, leaving the door open. He makes his way to the dropped head, picks it up and puts it inside an old grocery store bag. He drops it on the counter and starts scrubbing off the blood that found its way up his arms.
