mindcrackloveMC's saga continues! Or something!
Chapter 5
MC slowly woke up. Maybe if I don't open my eyes, I'll be home again. But then I'll never know.
MC opened his eyes.
He was still in the small room Etho had put him in before. He sighed softly.
Looking around, he relaxed slightly when he didn't see Etho hanging over him expectantly. I don't think I could stand having another heart attack. The small room was windowless, the smooth stone brick walls contrasting with the white wool ceiling and floor. An end table sat next to the single bed, a chair pushed next to the table.
A small note rested on the end table. “Before you start shouting about how I'm trying to starve you, you've been asleep for the last full day. You really shouldn't have been out wandering. Have a fruit bar.” A fruit bar sat next to the paper.
MC's stomach grumbled as he grabbed the bar and ate it. “Not really all that filling. Is there any real food around here?” No one answered him.
Climbing out of the bed, MC looked around the room, trying to figure out if there was any way out. The only entrance into the room was a solid steel door. Pushing against it lightly, he found out rather quickly it was locked from the outside. Right, he locked it...
I'll just punch my way out. Steeling himself, he started to punch the wall next to the door.
BOOP
“What? Oh shi...” MC trailed off as the door swung open and Etho appeared.
Etho seemed to have dressed quickly, his clothes disheveled, his hair in a similar state. His mask was half off, which he was tugging to pull on fully. “What did I tell you, MC?” Etho sounded genuinely pissed off. “Knock it off, I'm busy.”
“You have no real food here, and what, are you still planning on keeping me here forever? Give me something to do, man! It's an empty room of emptiness! Books, video games, or something!” MC whined at Etho, which caused him to sigh. “Go sit on the bed. I'll get you some food and something to read in like....” Etho pursed his lips, calculating something. “An hour. Try and break out again and I'll just sic dogs on you.” Etho turned around, slamming the door shut behind him.
Next stop, the wall behind the bed!
Climbing onto the bed, MC started to punch the wall behind the bed.
BEEP
MC quickly sat down on the bed as the door swung open again. “MC for the love of....knock it off!” Etho said, twitching slightly. Looking as innocent as possible, MC said happily, “I wanted to see the dogs.”
Etho stared at MC before striding across the room and grabbing a hold of him, pulling him upright. “MC. MC. I am already being very kind in not just killing you. Please do yourself a favor, and stop testing my patience. I said an hour, now you'll be waiting two hours. Any more, and I might just let you starve anyway.” “Jeez man, what are you so upset about? You'd think you were the one who was kidnapped and held against their will while all their friends were told they were dead.” MC said, frowning at Etho. Etho pushed MC onto the bed, glowering at him.
Etho leaned down over MC, placing his hands next to MC's head as he looked him in the eyes. “Don't. Test. My. Patience.” Etho said slowly before pushing himself back upright suddenly, leaving the room, slamming the door behind him again.
...I think I'll wait now.
After what felt like an eternity of staring at the ceiling, the door swung open again. Etho dropped a tray of food on the bed silently. MC continued to look up at the ceiling. Etho pulled a large stack of books out of his pack, dropping them on the end table. Etho stared down at MC. MC continued to stare at the ceiling.
“Do I get to go outside if I'm on good behavior?” MC said quietly as Etho continued to stare down at him. “Depends on how good you are, but we can talk about it later. Sorry about yelling, but I was in the middle of something important. You should eat, you haven't eat for the last day or so.”
MC grumbled as he pulled himself upright, looking at the food. “Did you cook it? I'm not sure sure about your cooking...” Etho looked at him, amused. “I didn't. It's safe to eat.”
Etho pulled the chair out, sitting on it. “What, are you going to watch me eat?” MC said, blinking at Etho.
“I am going to make sure you don't starve yourself in protest.”
“Well, that wasn't a plan before, but thanks for giving me the idea now!” MC said as he started to eat. Dinner was a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, bread, glass of milk, and a bowl of mashed potatoes. “This is a weird dinner. Who serves mashed potatoes with soup?” MC said as he ate the potatoes. “Someone who was expecting you to wake up sooner and had already eaten most of the food.” Etho said, amused.
“Sooo, who were you busy with earlier?” MC said as he finished drinking the last of the milk. “None of your business.” Etho said, his smile vanishing. “I'm guessing the mysterious person you don't want me to take from you? How'd that turn out? Reject your advances after you came running here to make sure I wasn't escaping?” MC said smirking at Etho.
Etho closed his eyes, exhaling slowly. “MC. You are trying to be infuriating” “Not trying, succeeding!” “...not really. Do you doubt that I'd kill you, or do you just have a death wish?” “I'm going to go with uh, both!” MC said, nodding at Etho.
Etho stood up from the chair, his face calm and collected again as he looked at MC. “Read something. You have plenty of books now. If you need something, don't smack the walls please. There is a pager in the end table. Which would have worked fine if you had used that the first time.” Grabbing the empty food tray, Etho made his way to the door.
Etho turned as he opened the door. “Don't think to try and spam me with the pager. Use it too much, and no pager.” Etho paused as he turned to smirk at MC. “And no, it went quite well with your friend.” Etho closed the door quietly behind him, the lock making a distinct click sound now that it wasn't muffled with the ringing the door made when slammed.
At least he didn't slam it. Hmm, what books did he leave? MC reached over, looking through the pile of books. He started to giggle when he realized several of the books were romance books. Heeehehee.
MC stretched out on the bed, content for the moment to read the books given to him, while planning how to escape.
I still want to know who I professed my love to. Maybe if I irritate Etho enough, he'll tell me who it is in the hopes of upsetting me. Excellent plan.

Question since a lot of people use Etho smiled/smiles or along those lines.
Can we really see that or is it just the crinkle of the eyes because his mask blocks his lips?
