Warning: gore? (at the beginning)

~~~

Alec wiped of the last specks of blood off the tools as Leon kicked off Annalise's head using his feet in disgust. Both of their clothes were stained with huge splatters of blood but they both brought a second set of clothes to change to.

"Later, we're dousing all our weapons in hydrogen peroxide." Leon reminded him. Alec grimaced at all the cleaned hand tools. He'll never look at a screwdriver the same. Just thinking of gouging Annalise's eye out with this... it brought him disgust... yet also such a a morbid satisfaction.

The chuckle of Leon brought Alec out of his reverie. The shy boy said, "I never knew you would be the vengeful type."

"You think that you can get away with talking about Y/N like that?!" Alec smiled maliciously.

"Always talking bad about her looks like you have a good eye..." He took out the screwdriver. "Well... let's get rid of them."

"N-No! Please..." Annalise begged, "I'll give you whatever you want. Money? I-I'll give you all of my company's money."

"Company?" Alec sneered, "It isn't even yours yet, who are you to spend their money? Plus, do you think I'm in need of money?"

"Please... I beg of you... Just let me go... I won't tell the police..." Annalise sobbed. Leon was just watching from behind Alec. It was really different when he wasn't doing all the torturing. He could see Alec's crazed eyes. Still, it felt good watching Y/N's enemies suffer.

"Honestly, all of you are the same. Lizzy said the exact same things when she was killed. I can only assume that Monika did the same thing."

Alec agreed. "My henchmen reported actions of begging, offering money, and crying, like what she's doing right now."

That was when Annalise connected all the dots. The murderers... it was them. And they were doing it all for Y/N. God, they're fucking crazy.

'Please God, save me...' If she was given a second chance, she'll never do anything bad again. She'll do whatever it takes to redeem herself. "P-Please... S-Spare m-"

"JUST SHUT UP YOU BITCH!" Alec shrieked at her. Without hesitation, he pushed the screwdriver into Annalise's left eye, making her scream out in extreme pain. Even Leon winced at Alec's brutality.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. IF YOU HADN'T MADE Y/N'S LIFE HELL, I WOULD'VE CONSIDERED NOT KILLING YOU. BUT YOU JUST HAD TO MAKE EVERYTHING DIFFICULT." He angrily stabbed the second eye. Annalise let out a ear piercing scream, clenching her fists so tightly blood started to trickle down her hand. Alec's breathing was erratic, but he flashed Annalise a delighted smile.

"And you know what, I know who the next victim is~" Alec sang, whispering the name into Annalise's ear. Her eyes would widen, but she had none anymore, only two holes where blood poured out down from her face. Everything was excruciating... but she knows it's going to get worse.

"N...No... P-P-Please," She sobbed hard, "He... d-d-didn't-t d-d-o anyth...thing wrong."

Leon smirked knowing exactly who Alec mentioned. He wasn't lying anyways.

"Eh, he's probably going to come after you." Alec threw a pair of pliers to Leon, who caught it with fumbling hands. Luckily, he didn't drop it. Alec nodded at Annalise. "Let's get this finished so we can go home to see Y/N, shall we?"

Alec shrugged at the flashback. He was just releasing some of his pent up anger. Who knew that slowly killing people can be quite soothing? "Let's get back to Y/N. I miss her after such a long day." The two boys changed, packed up their things, and along with their henchmen, went back to Leon's house.

"Y/N~ We're home~" Alec happily opened the front door and ran up towards your room. Hastily, he unlocked all the locks to your room and lunged for you.

You were reading a book when he suddenly hopped on you. Eight locks, you counted. You heard eight locks. You think that some of them are combination locks while others are used with keys. Nevertheless, you were pretty sure there were eight locks in total. You'll count which ones are combination locks next time. Focusing on the current moment, you hugged the tired Alec with a loving embrace.

"Where did you go?" You say to him softly, stroking his soft hair as Alec nuzzles into your lap. The moon was illuminating the sky today, while the stars twinkled playfully in the sky. It made you calm, forcing yourself to forget about the situation you were in.

"Ah, Leon and I just went... exercising." He avoided the more questions by changing the subject. "What were you doing while we were gone?"

You held up the book you were reading. "I took a nap, and I just read. Nothing too special."

Alec pouted. "If you are really bored, just tell Jim okay? He can play with you."

You laughed at that. "I don't think he'd be the type to."

"Well, he works for me so I'll just make him do it anyways." Alec sat up kissed you on the cheek, stroking your hand.

"Hi Y/N, Alec. I finished washing up our equipment so you don't need to worry. I'm going to head to bed now, we have school tomorrow." He came forward, leaning towards you and giving you a sweet peck on your lips. "Goodnight, my love."

You kissed him back cutely and gave him a smile. "Goodnight~"

When Leon left, you looked back at Alec, curious to what equipment Leon was talking about. "What equipment did you use?"

"Oh, that? It's just exercising equipment I brought. They're kinda sweaty because we exercised a lot." Alec lied smoothly, combing through your tresses. It seemed like all the experience from lying to his father has finally proved its usefulness. "Darling, is there anything you want? If you're really sad here, it would make me sad."

You thought for a moment. There were so many things you wanted but you couldn't say. You wanted to get out, you wanted him to let you go, you wanted him to learn his mistakes, and so much more. But, there was a reasonable request, you think...

"Well, maybe you and Leon could teach me what you guys are currently learning at school. It gets repetitive when I read fictional stories over and over again. I could do homework that you guys can check and stuff. I'll even refer to you guys as teachers. Mr. Johnson." You winked at Alec who's face became dusted with pink for a moment. Immediately, he regained his composure and smirked back at you.

"Well, Miss L/N. You've been very naughty lately." He growled, roughly holding your waist. "Perhaps you're in need of some punishment?"

His face was so close to yours, you could feel his warm breath at your ear. You shivered as he pulled you closer to him. Was this right? You had a boyfriend. Were you a cheater?

At the thought of that, you squirmed away from Alec's grip and sat back. He looked at you, confused and a bit hurt. You were so close to him just now.

What was Alec to you? It's been on your mind since he kept you in Leon's house. Right now, he was blurring the line between best friend and lover. But that wouldn't make sense since you already had a lover. You have come to realize that his feelings for you was more than a best friend. You just didn't know what to do with it.

"Alec..." You muttered, playing with his fingers.

"Yes, darling?" His hand gently held yours as he brought it up for a kiss.

"What are we?" You looked up at him, eyes full of uncertainty.

He thought for a moment before glancing back at you and then the door. "Jim!"

"Yes, sir?" Jim's voice came from the other side of the door.

"Call Leon for me, please."

"Of course." You heard Jim's quiet footsteps leave his post towards what you believed to be the room Leon sleeps in now - his parent's room. Jim came back with another pair of rushing footsteps which stopped at your door. You heard four key locks, which meant there were probably four combination locks. It'll take a few times to confirm.

Your guard came in with his hands loosely clasped together in front of him. He was wearing all black as usual, which made you wonder when he ever changes or sleeps. Leon, however, appeared to be distraught, his hair disheveled and his eyes filled with paranoia. "W-What happened? Is there s-something wrong? Is Y/N okay?"

You giggled at his worry while Alec answered for you. "Well, I don't know how to explain. You see, Y/N asked us the question..."

"Oh." Leon relaxed. "Okay, I'll explain."

"Please do." You said and made space for Leon on your bed.

The three of you sat huddled together, with you in the middle as Leon started to elucidate your relationship with them. "So... Er, for your protection, Alec and I have come up with a contract that involved you and some other factors."

"What does that mean?" You tilted your head.

"I guess... We've decided to share you?" Alec scratched his neck awkwardly. It was weird to confess that out loud.

"You mean like a polyamorous relationship?"

"Polygamous r-relationship," Leon corrected. "It's not an open relationship, rather a closed one that only involves one person with multiple lovers."

"Wait, you're saying that I am allowed to date multiple people? At the same time?" You widened your eyes in perplexity. What the hell is going on?

"No! You're only allowed to date the two of us!" Leon cried.

"But you don't have to force yourself if you don't feel the same way," Alec said sadly, "As long as you stay beside me, I'll be happy."

You turned to Leon, and asked him, "You don't mind if your lover is romantic with someone else?"

"I-I have to admit, I can be a bit jealous..." Leon confessed, "I might've deleted some images of you from Y/N's phone whenever I could. I even considered making v-voodoo dolls. B-But it's fine now, since I've gotten over it."

You blankly stared at Leon, finally realizing the extent of his jealousy. Alec was no better.

"Hey, at least you got to be intimate with Y/N way before we even made the deal." Alec shot back, "It made me see red whenever you kissed her at school. I would shred photos of you when I got home."

"Well, I guess we have our own ways to deal with jealousy."

"Anyways, Y/N, I think what Leon is trying to say is that he doesn't mind sharing you," Alec states in a straightforward manner.

You flopped back on your bed in surprise. "Huh."

"Do you need some time to think about it, darling?" He kissed your cheek.

"Yes, please."

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow when your mind is cleared." Alec patted your head and left you with a goodnight.

"Goodnight, my love." Leon left soon after Alec, leaving Jim to close the door. You were in too much of a shock to count the locks this time.

The next day, you got your shit together. So from what you understood, you had not one, but TWO boys wrapped around your finger. But are they easy to sway? You knew that Leon kinda was in some cases but you weren't so sure about Alec, since you've never really thought of him that way.

The question has been on your mind for the whole night - what did you feel about Alec? You were quite unsure of yourself. Perhaps you'll know in the future.

Just as you were thinking that, you heard the door being unlocked. It was painfully annoying, to unlock all eight locks especially when you need to find the keys of each one, and turn to the right combination. One minute or so later, Alec came in with a tray in his hands. Judging by the smell, today's breakfast was waffles with berries. Delicious.

"Good morning, my darling Y/N!" Alec said cheerfully, "Leon taught me how to make breakfast today. We have to eat quick because we need to go to school in 20 minutes."

"Speaking of school, how are our friends?" You took your share of breakfast and casually make a conversation about 'the outside world'.

"Them? You don't need to worry about them," Alec waved his hand dismissively, "But to answer your question, they're worried. We're going on another search party in a few days. If they come over to Leon's place, we're gonna have to do something with that pretty mouth of yours, so I'm hoping that they won't come. But other than that, Grace, Melody, and Gabriel are all physically fine."

Just hearing their names made your eyes water. "Thank god, they're all right." You started to tear up a bit.

"Now, let's eat breakfast. I worked extra hard to make sure they're tasty!" Alec happily cut a piece of the waffle, dipped it in syrup, and placed it in your mouth. You took it compliantly and chewed, savouring the sweet taste of the waffles. For Alec's first time, it was quite good.

Everything was peaceful and quiet in Harts' household. You and Alec were sharing breakfast, Leon was studying downstairs, and Leon's parents were not going to come back for another few months. These times were times that made you reluctant to escape.

Then, you thought about your family, your own parents, who were probably worried sick about you. Your friends, who you wanted to meet more. Those were your motivations of not giving in to such ecstasy, no matter how pleasurable it was to stay in this warped paradise.

"Alec?"

"Yes?"

"About yesterday..."

"You mean the thing about school and homework? Don't worry, I've discussed it with Leon yesterday and he was fine with it. When we get back, we'll tutor you on the subjects we've learnt that day. It's beneficial to all of us because it helps refresh our memory. Then, Leon can help you check your work over the weekends. I'll have to work harder to keeping my grades up if I want to be on par with him." Alec smiled at you, making you smile back at him.

You attacked him with hugs. "Oh, thank you so much! You're the best!"

"Naturally, there's going to be some form of payment..." Alec winked, pointing at his lips.

Your smile twitched up, thinking of a mischievous little plan.

"Of course, Mr. Johnson." You pulled on his uniform's collar, bringing his face close to yours. You gave him the most seducing smile you could. You just hoped it didn't look like a grimace. Luckily, he didn't seem to expect that and his face immediately turned red.

"Y-Y/N?" He squeaked. Alec did not expect that, even after a million years, since you pushed him away yesterday.

Disappointingly to Alec, you placed your lips on his cheek for a few seconds. Just a long chaste kiss.

"Well? How was that payment?" You looked up at him.

"Well, since it wasn't a full kiss, I'll give it an eight out of ten." Alec rated. "May I be so forward and ask for more?"

"Finish your breakfast, you dork."

"How can I?" Alec pouted, "When you haven't given me enough to satiate my appetite?"

"Alec Xander Johnson, you better finish this breakfast and go to school, or you're never gonna get kissed again." You crossed your arms and huffed. "And you should also focus at school, since you're going to be 'teaching' me."

"Fine, fine." He put his hands up. "But I expect more payments by the end of this day."

After Alec finished breakfast, he left with Leon to school. Now, you were left all alone.

'Now I have time to think about Alec's feelings towards me.'

Was it bad that you could imagine you dating him? You don't think Alec was a bad person; he was very fun, outgoing and liked by basically everyone. He could be childish at times but also protective. He was like Leon in a way, you think, doing anything he can to protect the people he loves.

If Leon doesn't mind, you would try out the polygamy thing. But what if by dating Alec, your feelings for Leon fades away? The idea of polygamous relationships had you thinking about more questions than before. You sighed and rubbed your head, trying to get your thoughts straight.

'For now, I'll dip my toe in the water and try this out. If it doesn't work, I'll decide what to do next.'

The tension among your friends at school were quite high. After your disappearance, Grace, Gabriel, Melody, Alec, and Leon have hired people to search for you. Everyone was distressed. Grace has been trying to cheer everyone up, but nothing seems to be working.

Lucas wasn't doing any better either. Grace's boyfriend had only been managing, trying to comfort Grace with the disappearance of her friend. Now, to think that his sister, Annalise, was murdered... He was absolutely devastated. Lucas wouldn't come out of his room for days, even when Grace visited him.

Although Gabriel and Melody seemed to be faring better than the rest of them, she knew that deep inside, they were extremely worried for Y/N as well. Grace knew that beyond Gabriel's cold exterior, he had hired extra people to search for her privately. Melody had been on the lookout, actively participating in search parties and providing the police with better resources.

Alec and Leon were upset, as anyone should be. She would hear Leon mutter Y/N's name when he thinks he's alone. Alec had been more quiet nowadays. At least they appear to have become closer now, bonding through a common pain. Grace felt like everyone was falling apart now that her friend is gone.

Considering the fact that the police hasn't found Y/N's body yet, she's hoping for the best. But alas, there was no clue to where she could be. The investigators suspected that Y/N was an object of obsession for the murderer, however, she couldn't think of anyone that would want to harm you...

'Y/N, please be okay...'

Constructive criticism?

i think the part when leon and alec explains the idea of a polygamous relationship was pretty weird... i might edit that later.
