ROMANCE ANYONE?

Dan winced, “yeah… but he’ll be back.” He told him.

"When?" Elliot asked. He saw Dan wince, and in reply squeezed him a little.

Dan wasn’t really liking this, “soon.”

"I see… So that means I have some time," Elliot said to himself. He stood.
"Oh, we're going to hsve fun while your master is gone."

“What do you mean? And please let me go.” He asked and squirmed.

Elliot giggled a little.
"You'll find out," Elliot promised. "And I'm not going to let go." Elliot made his way out of the room, letting Dan seeing by his side again as he headed back to the stuffed animals room.

Dan continued squirming trying to get out of his hand. He was getting kinda scared.

Elliot held Dan securely, squeezing a bit. He moved into the room, rummaging around for something.
"This is gonna be fun!"

“You’re hurting me.” He said softly and continued trying to get away.

"Oh really now? I had no idea," Elliot said sarcastically. He pulled a box out, setting it down.

“Arien will be back quite soon.” Dan told him.

Elliot didn't care. He set Dan in the box. It looked like a one room dollhouse.

“What are you doing?” He asked him and looked around.

"You'll get it soon enough," Elliot said. He slammed a lid on the box, locking Dan in. He shoved the box back into it's spot. The box was nearly porch black, light barely seeping through the cracks. There was shuffling in the box. There was something else in there.

When Dan heard the shuffling he walked back to the wall, “let me out of here!” He yelled. “Please let me go!”

There was no response from Elliot. He seemed to have left. The shuffling got closer to Dan, revealing a large bulky figure.

Dan was kinda even more scared now, “LET ME OUT!” He yelled.

A large hand covered Dan's mouth.
"Shut up," a deep voice said.

“Don’t hurt me.” He said quickly.

There was a sigh.
"I'm not the one who would hurt you. That would be Elliot." The hand was taken away from Dan's mouth.

“Well my boyfriend will be back soon.“ Dan said and still seemed kinda scared of him.

"It'll be hard for him to find you," the figure said. They moved back, seeming to sit down on something.

“He’ll fine me, I know he will.” Dan replied and stayed standing.

"Whatever kid. I've been stuck in here for ages." The figure hummed a bit.
"Want me to turn the light on?"

“Um ok, that would be good.” Dan nodded and hoped that Arien would be back soon.

A switch was flipped, lightly up the space. The figure was another doll, large and bulky. They seemed… Mangled.

Dan stared at them for a little while.

"What, something on my face?" The doll chuckled humorlessly. "Elliot did this to me," he explained.

“Why did he hurt you like that?” He asked him.

"He wanted to," the doll said.
"I'm Gabriel, by the way."
