tw: manipulation tactics

***

The next day Celaine woke up to a slight groan, but it wasn't from her. She rose from his chest, head pounding, stomach growling at her as if she hadn't eaten in years.

"Morning," Fundy mumbled, his voice was raspy, and lingered with exhaustion. She looked over at him, and looked back up at the tv she had placed in the room, a movie he seemed to have been half way through the live action of alice in wonderland.

"Did you even sleep?" she looked over at him, his eye bags darker than usual. "It's fine," he replied, sitting up next to her. "You look, and sound exhausted, try and get some rest, i'm gonna go to the kitchen," she watched as he laid back down, hardly letting his eyes shut.

"I mean it, just try you can't go home like that, i'm not letting you get in a car that tired," the boy silently hummed in response before closing his eyes.

She walked out of the room, closing the door lightly as to not startle him. She knew he was restless but didn't know it was that, as she walked to the kitchen, her eyes peered out of her living room window.

A bright red car sat outside, she turned a shoulder ignoring it as she prepared a bowl of cereal for herself as she began to scroll through her phone.

She was scrolling through her app of choice, twitter. Liking fanart she saw, comments on random things and replying to her friends dumb tweets.

Watching as her phone rang, she groaned as she picked it up. "Hello Dream," she mumbled, "Are you eating?" he asked, she only laughed in response.

"I just woke up, it's breakfast time," she heard his soft chuckles before he began to speak up. "Where's Fundy?"

"Sleeping, hopefully. I feel bad, he doesn't sleep that much. But anyways, he's been here for like two days and we fell asleep right after my stream.." she heard him gasp from the receiving end of the call. "Like in a bed together or separate," he sounded like a sixth grader as he took in the latest news.

"Together, we just kinda fell asleep.. nothing serious," she heard him gasp once again, causing her to chuckle slightly. "So like, you like him right?" his voice filled with wonder. "I don't want a relationship, not my thing.. i don't even wanna think about feelings they ruin everything in my opinion," Dream simply hummed in response.

"But I know eventually if this keeps up, i'll have to talk about them eventually, i'll just keep putting it off," her eyes were almost stuck on the red car that sat outside of her house as she filled her mouth with another spoonful of food.

"Feelings, or no feelings.. I support," she could almost hear his smirk through his words as she looked into the car that sat outside. "I sound crazy, but I think Kalebs outside of my house, and I swear if he breaks a fucking door again this mother fuckers paying for it," she stood up from her seat, her phone still held to her ear.

"Why would he be there?" Dream questioned, listening to her footsteps as she approached the window. "Well, Fundy, jealously, obsession, anything really," she walked up to the window, pushing the curtains aside, peering out the window and at the red car.

"I hate this kid, I don't know why I let you stay," he huffed, celaine stayed silent. Her eyes now peered into the passenger side window of the car. She saw the silhouette of a person in the drivers seat, tapping against the drivers wheel. "I think he's actually outside," her voice grew with worry.

"It's like two in the afternoon in the Netherlands, what the fuck," she approached her front door listening to Dreams rants about how she should be careful, and that this man was definitely insane.

"I'm gonna go check," she placed her hand on the front door knob, scattered footsteps took her attention as she looked to the hallway that led into her front room. "Where are you going?" Fundy looked at her, or more at her hands that were shaking against the door knob.

"Are you okay?" he walked up to her, her phone still close to her ear. "Is that Fundy, please tell me that's fundy," Dream muttered. "It's fundy," he spoke aloud for dream to hear, a breath of relief soon followed.

"I think he's outside," she took her hand off the door knob and pointed to the red car. "Of course that mother fucker drives a bright red car," he joked, looking back at Celaine. "No this isn't good. fundy go back to the room.. now!" her voice filled with worry.

"Why?" he asked, looking at the girl in concern, "I just want him to leave, and you being here won't help." He simply nodded before going to sit in the kitchen, it was close enough so he could watch her, and hear what was going on.. for safety.

The girl left her phone with fundy, him and dream began to talk.

As she walked outside, her head held high as she walked towards the car. She looked, saw his blond hair and his eyes met hers, he got out of the car.. and it was him. She gasped, but continued forward.

"Moved on already?" he asked, leaning against the back of his car. "Fundy is more of a man than you'll ever be," she mumbled in response.

"Don't mumble, speak up," he replied voice filled with cockiness. "I said he's more of a man than you will ever be," she crossed her arms at her chest. "But you know.. no one will love you the way I did Celaine, no one will care about you, or your grandmother the way that i did."

She felt a slight tug at her heart as her eyes met his. "I don't need you, not to help me with my grandmother, not to help me with anything for fucks same, you are horrible." His eyes widened at her words.

"Our love is complicated, and that's what you don't get. I wasn't horrible, i was over protective because I care about you. I don't wanna hurt you, i just wanna hold you, help you celaine. I always wanted to, I came to apologize for the other day.. that was wrong.. I just don't wanna loose you," the eye contact he held was terrifying, as if he were reading her soul.

"I don't think you get it, this.. whatever love that you have for me.. you need to get rid of. I don't care for you, or your words. Just fucking leave goddamnit," her words spewed like venom.

"But you don't want me to go, you know you don't Celaine, just admit it," she scoffed slightly at his words, looking away from him. "Kaleb, we are done.. this is over.. stop with this fucking bullshit already," once again she stood her ground.

"Is he here? Is that why you want me to?"

Almost as if it were on que she heard her front door squeak as Fundy opened it. She turned to see him standing in the door frame, him and kaleb now making eye contact.

"Yeah I am fucking here."
