If you havent already figured out, my bold things at the top or bottom of the story are authors notes :) Chapter 4, leggo ;)
Kougami was in a dark place. He wasn't sure where though. He held out his hands, which were barely visible in the pitch black of wherever he was. They seemed tinier than usually. He was used to his long slender hands. What's going on...? He thought to himself. He looked around himself. There was a fire burning in the distance. He watched as the flames danced upward into clouds of thick smoke. There were faint screams as the fire seemed to engulf more of the wilderness.
"Are you okay?" Shinya jumped at hearing the small voice behind himself. There was a small white-haired, pale skinned boy sitting behind him. When the other boy saw his gaze being met, he smirked. "What's your name?" The child asked.
Shinya tentatively replied, "Its Kougami...Shinya, Kougami" Upon hearing this, the other boys smile got bigger. What a strange kid. Kougami thought. Why was he this deep into the forest. Maybe he knows something about the fire. "Uhm...hey...can i ask you a question?"
"Sure." The other boy reassured.
"What's burning in the fire over there..?" The other boys smirk turned into a devilish grin. Kougami didn't know why, but he felt threatened by this kid.
"Its your village. I burned it down." Kougami started blankly at the other boy, his mouth open from the shock and disbelief of what he'd just heard. The other boy calmly stared back, a look of crazy confidence in his wide grin. Shinya raised his hand, wanting to slap the smug look off of this boys face. The other boy didn't do anything in protest. Shinya slammed his hand downward and before he felt the connection of his hand to the others face, his eyes jolted open.
He realized that it had just been a dream. His breath was ragged and his skin felt sticky and cold from sweat. He closed his eyes and breathed to lower his heart rate. That felt so real...how could it have been just a dream? He wondered. Then he felt pressure around his waist loosen up. He then realised Shougo was awake and looking at him with a smug grin, and had been holding onto Shinya while he was sleeping. Shinya's face turned an unnoticeable shade of pink.
"Bad dream?" Shougo asked. Shinya nodded. He hadn't dreamed since he had started being an enforcer, he had forgotten what it was like to dream. Shougo noticed the slight worry in Shinya's face. He reached his hand up and put it in Shinya's hair. Kougami relaxed slightly, and his blush became a bit more noticeable. Shougo took Shinya's lack of stopping him as meaning that Kougami welcomed the gesture. Shougo continued petting and got a bit closer when he heard his own stomach growl. The man was to calm to blush, instead he smiled up at Kougami and asked, "Whats for breakfast?"
Shinya sat up and yawned. He went over to the tools in the corner and grabbed something that looked like a knife. I guess it will have to do. He thought. Shinya mumbled about how he'd be back soon and left the hut. This is strange. Kougami thought to himself. Only days ago we were out for eachothers blood, and now we're sharing a bed. I need to make sense of this somehow. What does Makishima mean to me? ...What do i mean to him? Maybe we've gotten so close because now we're all that we've got... Shinya started remembering the vague memories of his childhood. The few things he remembered were faint images of his parents smiling down at him, but they both always had a depressed tone in their eyes. Shinya's lack of childhood memories scared him. It made him wonder what could've happend, and why his memories of it were all gone. He shuddered at the deepness of his thoughts and remembered what he was trying to do. He needed to find food.
He heard running water and decided fishing would probably be the easiest method of finding food on such short notice. And they'd have water to. After 30 minutes he used the "bag" made out of his shirt to carry the fish back to the hut. When he got back Shougo had already started a fire. Shougo looked up at Kougami and smiled. "I knew you'd get fish," he remarked.
"Whatever.." Shinya replied. He welcomed the feel of the fire against the cool autumn wind. Shougo looked over at the other male. He couldn't help but admire the amazing muscle tone Kougami had. He watched as Shinya used the crude knife to cut the fish.
"Is there any boards inside the hut?" Shinya suddenly asked. Shougo got up and went inside to look. Of course he needed something to put the fish on while it cooked. The person that was previously here had small board made out of redwood, which was fireproof and would help with cooking the fish. When Shougo ambled outside he noticed something was different. Kougami wasnt intently working on the food like he was before. He was looking far out into the forest, as if searching for something. Shougo got close enough to Shinya so only he would hear his whispers.
"What happened?" He questioned.
Kougami turned around and noticed how close Shougo was. He could feel the other's breath on his neck and almost shivered. Their faces were inches away at this point. Kougami leaned in and whispered back, "I think their searching again". Shougo listened harder and could now hear it. The subtle sound of feet crunching toward them. Though, he got distracted seeing how pretty Kougami's icy blue-grey eyes glinted in the light.
"You're cute." Makishima whispered back. He smirked seeing Shinya's serious expression fade to surprise and blush for a split second. But then they both heard the sound of footsteps become to close.
"Shit". Kougami muttered Realizing the sudden gravity of the situation he grabbed Shougo by the arm and rushed them both to the inside of the hut. It might've been a shitty place to hide, but to him it was better than being out in the very open. Shougo was only shocked for a second about the sudden rushing, but his jaded personality wasn't fazed by being rushed into the hut and having to be seated only centimeters away from Shinya.
Shinya peered out of the hut and saw figures emerging out of the forestry to where Shougo and himself used to be seated. When he saw who was there his heart practically stopped beating for a second.
