Countdown
~ Promotion ~
12 Days before Shoichi transfer to Melone Base.
"Shou-chan!" Byakuran shouted. As he lunged at the bed of Shoichi. "Neh! Shou-chan wake up!"
Shoichi, woken up by Byakuran's nagging sat up and look at Byakuran who was now sitting comfortably on his bed and was smiling the I-want-to-tell-you-something smile. Shoichi noticed the smile and ask. "What do you want Byakuran-san?" He snarled as he was completely annoyed being woken up early Sunday morning. "Work doesn't start until 9 and its only 6 am." Byakuran just smiled and suddenly kiss Shoichi on the lips. Shoichi was startled by the sudden kiss and blush instantly and when Byakuran saw the blush. He chuckled saying it. "Shou-chan is super cute when his blushing." Shoichi was about to protest when he realized that arguing with Byakuran was hopeless. So he just sigh deeply and got to the point.
"You know Byakuran-san... waking me up... and then you smile and suddenly kiss me is a sign that you want to tell me something." (AN: Which is true since Shoichi was speaking base on experience. XD) Shoichi leaned closer to Byakuran that their face was only a few inches away. "So what is it?" Byakuran smirk. "Mou... Shou-chan is Shou-chan... always want to get to the point." He kiss Shoichi on the lips again and whispered to his ear. "You see Shou-chan... I'm promoting you." Byakuran kiss Shoichi on the cheeks."I will tell you the details later when you come to my office to report the progress of Melone Base." Byakuran then jumped of Shoichi's bed like a kid, leaving a shocked and worried Irie Shoichi.
Now the reason why Shoichi was shocked and worried is because Byakuran is not a person that actually gives something without taking anything in return. In short he gives and takes. So a promotion from Byakuran only means that he wants something from Shoichi.
Shoichi then thought that Byakuran might already know that he will betray him because he has been planning to send the past Vongola Famiglia to the future to stop Byakuran taking over the world, but then realizing that he was still alive and not dead. He shrugged it off.
What Shoichi doesn't know is that Byakuran had already known his betrayal the day his Shou-chan awakened his power to contact his other self's in other parallel words. Yet, Byakuran kept Shoichi alive and more to Shoichi he does not know that Byakuran had fallen deeply in love with his Shou-chan.
( AN: I just wanted all of you to know what is going on. In Byakuran's head. So let's read the story in his POV.)
Byakuran's POV
"It's really boring if Shou-chan isn't around." I smirked as I thought about it. I walk to my cabinet where I usually keep my stack of marshmallows which I installed a security code. Shou-chan sometimes yell at me saying I eat too much sweets, then when I don't listen to him, he confiscates my favorite marshmallows and burn them which I don't want. I took 5 packs of my favorite marshmallows (extra sweet) to eat until Shou-chan comes to report as usual. I sat at my comfy office chair. As I ate I keep thinking ways to annoy Shou-chan this day, yesterday I force Shou-chan to eat my favorite marshmallow. Shou-chan was so cute when he was trying to eat it. His green eyes were in tears since Shou-chan doesn't like sweets. Now... let me see maybe I should already fuck Shou-chan but I think Shou-chan still isn't ready and he might get angry and punish. I don't want the punishment Shou-chan gave me last time.
(AN: All Byakuran do to Shoichi was kiss and lick above the hips. Byakuran tried one time to fuck Shoichi completely but he failed and more to that Byakuran was forbidden by Shoichi to see him for 1 month. But it got reduce to 2 weeks since Byakuran won't sign any papers or go to any meeting if he couldn't see his Shou-chan XD . He would just stay in his bed and whine like a child saying "I want to see Shou-chan!")
I was already planning to transfer Shou-chan to Melone Base. I don't want Shou-chan to transfer; it's just that I have to. Ever since my sweet Shou-chan awakened my power. A me on another parallel world told me that Shou-chan would betray me but it was not his fault. It was the Vongola's fault. They took my Shou-chan away from me. How dare them; they don't even know the reason I'm creating the perfect world. For me to become the strongest I have to destroy everything and everyone who stands in my way. I have to become strong, so I can protect Shou-chan. So no one would dare harm him.
"Mou... Shou-chan is late." It was already 1:30 when I look at the clock and Shou-chan was supposed to be hear 30 minutes ago. I don't usually forgive my subordinates when they are late but if its Shou-chan there is always an exception. I was about to finish the last pack of marshmallow when my Shou-chan came in with a little stain of blood in his collar. "Byakuran-san" My sweet Shou-chan called me and I noticed a small cut on his lips. Instantly I know the one responsible for my Shou-chan injuries were those people who were jealous of him. I know many of my subordinates think that Shou-chan is not worthy being with me, that Shou-chan is not worthy of my feelings. How wrong they were. I really wanted to kill them for insulting my sweet Shou-chan but it might burden me so I will let them live for now. Though I always remind Shou-chan to tell me if someone is troubling him (a.k.a. hurting him) but he always just smile at me and say. "No one is troubling me Byakuran-san." But his clothes that he tries to hide the evidence say something else. The main reason why I chose the color white to be the color of the uniform is because no matter how much Shou-chan cleans the blood, there would be some left and that's enough for me to know that someone has dared to harm my sweet Shou-chan again. He entered my room like nothing happened to him and reported as usual the progress of Melone Base in Japan. After the report, he looks at me with worried eyes and said. "Byakuran-san... can you now tell me the details of my promotion." He looks at me with fear, he tries to hide it but his green eyes tell me everything. Shou-chan is afraid of me. I know that ever since his memory came back to him. I stood up and headed to the couch where I usually sleep in the afternoon and signaled Shou-chan to come sit beside me but instead he sat at the other end of the couch. Which I pouted, so I laid down using Shou-chan lap as a pillow and I saw Shou-chan sigh deeply. I really like Shou-chan sighing face since it's a mark the he forgot his fear of me temporarily. I turned facing Shou-chan stomach, smelling the scent he gives.
"I'm promoting Shou-chan second in command. You are now Irie Shoichi second-in-command of the Millefiore White Spell" I took his hand that was resting on the arm of the couch and kiss it. "When Melone Base is finish you will transfer there and you will directly control it." Shou-chan face was funny, he look at me with wide eyes. "... but... Byakuran-san.. you know that they no.. all of them don't like me... and more to that I don't have the power to control Melone Base" (AN: Byakuran and Shoichi are the only ones who know that Melone Base is not only a base but also a weapon. Shoichi's weapon exactly. XD) I sat up and look at Shou-chan green eyes. I hug Shou-chan gripping him on his waist. I rested my head on his shoulder. "Shou-chan can control the Melone Base. Since it's my gift for Shou-chan and also you are the only one capable controlling Melone Base since you know like the back of your hand the complexity of the base." I stood up and face Shou-chan whose face is still shocked and I can't help but chuckle and I took a small box that contains the fake sun mare ring in my pocket and slid it in the ring finger. I kissed Shou-chan in the lips and waited for Shou-chan reply.
Shou-chan look at the mare ring that he thinks is real and sigh. "Are you sure Byakuran-san? This kind of position. Don't you think Gamma is better for this position?" Shou-chan is really thickheaded sometimes. "It's my gift for Shou-chan." I said.
"... Byakuran-san my birthday has already past."
"I can give Shou-chan a gift any day."
"Do you want me gone? Byakuran-san?" My mind went wild when Shou-chan said those words. I swear I wanted to massacre the Vongola at that moment. I don't want Shou-chan to be away from me.
"Well... Spanner is in Melone Base. I won't be alone." Shou-chan looks at me smiling. "Thank you Byakuran-san." He kiss on the lips and left.
Shou-chan. My sweet Shou-chan is now preparing to leave me. I then remembered Shou-chan injuries and went to my table were my computer is. Shou-chan doesn't know that I installed spying cameras on all of Shou-chan workplace and the passage he usually takes. There I found the recorded video where 5 white spell subordinates were injuring my sweet Shou-chan. They were Kikyo's subordinates. Kikyo wouldn't mind if I killed 5 of his subordinates. With a swift of my finger all 5 of Kikyo's subordinate's neck were crushed and blood spread everywhere and that was even a merciful death to me. I phoned the Cervello to clean the mess immediately before Shou-chan use the passage. Night came and I decided to sleep in Shou-chan bed. I whined and whined until Shou-chan gave up and let me sleep beside him. I was facing Shou-chan who was already asleep; he really is a fast sleeper. Shou-chan is more cute when he doesn't have his glasses on. I grab Shou-chan by the waist gently and hugged him tightly. I closed my eyes with one thought that keeps repeating in my head. "Shou-chan is now preparing to leave me."
