Whaaaat? Another chapter in one day? Heck yeah! Enjoy my lovely people!
Kaito's cell phone rang and the male frantically answered it. Nodding his head and muttering one-word replies, he shut off the phone before sighing heavily. "I hate to burden you even more Aomine but the agency just called. They need to speak to me regarding some business issues. I don't want to take Kise with me since I know how exhausted he is. Would you be willing to drop him off at his apartment?"
The brute smiled a bit. "Of course Kaito. Good luck with your meeting."
The brunette groaned as he trotted away, disappearing in the crowded hallways. Aomine looked at his watch and realized that Kise's been taking too long to change. Worried that something was to happen to him, he knocked on the door. When there was no reply, he slowly opened the door to find Kise sitting on the couch, bare-chested and have a pained expression on his face. Kise didn't notice the brute walking in. He was too focused on the text messages that were displayed on his phone. Aomine thinned his lips and walked over to the blond, shutting the door quietly.
"Hey, Kise. We gotta go."
The blond jumped in surprise and hid his phone screen from the brute. Golden eyes met navy and there was silence. Kise could see worry, sadness, and a hint of something else he couldn't quite figure out in his friend's eyes. Aomine only saw pain and worry in the others. The brute first broke eye contact and threw a shirt he found laying around.
"Put this on. I'm dropping you home tonight."
"Huh? But why? What happened with Kaito?"
"He said somethin' about meeting with the agency" the brute shrugged his shoulders. Kise sighed heavily and stood up. Stretching his back, he felt his bones pop and the blond let out a sigh of relief.
"Poor Kaito. I hope it's nothing too bad" Kise smiled as he slips on the plain white T-Shirt. Aomine cleared his throat and headed towards the door. "Yeah. Hurry up though."
When he felt like Kise was right behind him, he headed towards the exit, passing the crowd of models and businessmen with ease.
"Aominecchi! Wait!" he heard his friend calling him. He turned around to see a patch of blond being held up by his coworkers. The brute sighed before grabbing the creamy hand into his own and pulling the shy blond away from the crowd.
"Don't let go. Stay close to me alright?" Aomine told the smaller male. Kise smiled before squeezing the bigger hand. The brute smiled at the reaction and began to lead them outside. The cold wind brushed against Aomine's face when he opened the door. Kise shivered and pulled his shirt closer to him.
"Come on. Let's take you home."
Kise nodded and both began to walk across the street where the car was.
"Sir. I'm going to need you to back up."
"How about fuck you! We've been standing here in the cold waiting to meet Azuko-chan since we got VIP passes and now you're telling us that we need to wait longer!" the crowd agreed with the angry man. The security guard sighed.
"I'm sorry sir but they did just end the show. Please get back in line."
Aomine's eyebrows furrowed. He pulled Kise to the car quickly and unlocked the doors. "Kise. Get in. I'm going to see if everything is alright with the crowd over here real quick okay?"
"Are you sure Aominecchi?"
"I'll be back quickly. Just stay in the car."
"Alright. Just be careful" the blond said worriedly. The brute smirked before jogging over where the guard was.
"Is there a problem here?"
"Who the heck are you?" the man spoke up. Aomine rolled his eyes and flashed his badge to the crowd. "Officer Aomine. Look, I know it's really cold out here and you guys have been waiting patiently to see…" he paused to look at the guard. The older man mouthed a name in which Aomine understood.
"... Azuko-chan up close. I just came out and I can tell you for a fact that they're doing the best to quickly finish up backstage so they could bring you guys in. I even smelled some freshly made hot chocolate as I walked by" he somewhat lied, hoping the crowd would be more at ease. It put a few smiles on faces but the man from earlier didn't budge.
"Why should we believe you?"
Again, Aomine rolled his eyes. "Just trust me when I tell you that they're trying their best to clean up backstage. Pretty sure they'll be coming any minute to let you guys warm up and meet the fine lady" the officer said reassuringly.
"With hot chocolate?" a lady in the front spoke softly. Aomine smiled before nodding. "With hot chocolate."
With that, the crowd began to calm down. All but the same man. Though, he didn't question anymore but just glared at the officer. The brute rolled his eyes and turned towards the guard.
"I think you got a few minutes of quiet before they start again. How much longer?" he whispered. The guard shrugged his shoulders. "Hopefully they come in the next five minutes or else these people will have my head."
Aomine chuckled and placed a hand on the man's shoulder. "You got this. Hopefully, they are truly making hot chocolate in there though."
"You mean that was a lie?"
The officer shrugged. "I did see a few sipping on something warm back there." The guard shook his head with a smile. Just in, a lady busted the door open with a smile.
"Sorry for the wait ladies and gentlemen! You're all welcome inside now!" she chirped. The crowd sighed in relief as they all pushed to get inside the small door frame. Satisfied with the results, Aomine jogged back towards his car and opened the driver side's door.
He was expected to see a patch of blond hair laying on his console fast asleep but instead, he was greeted with plain black leather. He checked the backseat with no such luck. He shut the door and looked around his car.
No blond in sight.
Now really worried, Aomine began looking around the nearby buildings, checking to see if the blond walked inside any of them. He figured that he wouldn't have gone back to the show since he would've spotted him. As he walked towards the next building over, he heard a small whimper. Curious, Aomine sneaked towards the dark alleyway where he barely made out two figures.
"S-Shogo-kun. Please" he heard his friend's voice. Aomine's heart tightens in knots. He sounded so broken. Quickly, he sent a text to Wakamatsu telling him the directions of his exact locations before leaning against the wall and peeked over his shoulder to see what was the situation.
Haizaki Shogo had his hand wrapped around the Kise's throat. The blond was three inches off the ground and was pinned against the wall.
"I left for a couple of months and you decided to move on! Despicable!" the man yelled as he slammed the body against the wall, earning a groan from the model. Aomine gripped his hands into fists.
"S-Shogo-kun…" the male started which made Aomine almost gag. How dare Kise speak the bastard's name with such emotion. The male didn't deserve it. The male didn't deserve him.
"No Ryouta. You're mine. No one else can have you. Not even that filthy Aomine. Do you understand me?" the braided monster growled, reaching inside his pocket. The brute knew that this was getting bad. He had to do something and do something fast.
"Maybe you don't get what I'm saying. Maybe I'll just have to teach you a lesson again" Haizaki pulls out a pocket knife and placed it on Kise's cheek. He then began slicing the skin open, earning a cry of pain from the smaller male.
Aomine's focus turned hazy as his knuckles turned white. "Don't you dare lay another hand on him" he snarled. Haizaki turned to find Aomine slowly walking towards the pair. The braided hair chuckled darkly.
"Well, what do you know. Your new boy toy is here to save the day" he let go of the model's throat. Kise gasped as he hit the ground, coughing and spitting up blood.
"I've been wanting to do this since that night after the Winter Cup."
"Bring it on asshole."
Aomine snarled an animalistic noise before he practically lunged at the ex-basketball player. Each male threw punches at each other, landing in different places on the body. Once Haizaki landed a punch on Aomine's face, the brute fell to the ground which gave the male the advantage. He got on top of Aomine and started to aim to his face as hard and fast as he could.
The brute groaned in pain and tried to cover his face in defense. Haizaki smirked and clasped his hands together and tried to drop them on top of the brute's throat. Aomine saw this and took this chance to sit up and land a blow to Haizaki's side. The bluenette then rolled on top of the braided bastard and started to land his own punches. He didn't care where they landed. He wanted to make sure the male felt his anger. His wrath. His will to actually kill the guy.
"A-Aominecchi!" he stopped when he heard the broken voice of his friend. His hands were clenched into fists still but slowly turned his gaze to the model, knowing the male underneath him fell unconscious.
Kise had his back against the wall. His clothes were torn and he even saw some blood dripping from his friend's lips. What scared him the most was the fear expression the model had plastered on his face.
"Kise… I-" he had no idea what to say. The blond glanced at the man below him before he started to sob quietly in his hands. That instance, Wakamatsu came around the corner and stopped when he saw how bloody Aomine's hands were.
"Holy shit. Did you want to lose your job?" he yelled at the brute. He pulled the tan man off of Haizaki. He checked for a pulse, sighing in relief when he found one. "You're lucky he's alive Aomine. What the hell happened?" he stared at the back of the brute's head.
"He was hurting Kise. I came to save him and he attacked me. I was only defending myself" he muttered. Wakamatsu rolled his eyes. "Of course you were. But why go to this extent? Why risk your freakin' job for crying out loud?" he yelled again.
Aomine bit his bottom lip.
He was hurting Kise.
That's what the only thing he cared about. When he saw that knife being placed on Kise's cheek, he lost it. He didn't care that he was an officer. He didn't care he could've lost his job that instant. The only thing he cared about was protecting Kise because that was his job.
It was Kise.
Aomine shrugged his shoulders and took his shirt off. "Never liked the guy in the first place. Besides, most of this blood is mine, not his."
Wakamatsu shook his head and started reporting on his radio. Aomine turned to his blond friend, who was staring at the body on the ground. The brute sighed heavily before shifting his body closer to Kise.
"Kise. Put this on" he said softly as he set his own shirt on the blond's lap. Kise's eyes met the other for a second before the model began to cry and threw his body over the larger male. Aomine caught him with ease, bringing him closer as he whispers apologies in the other's ear. A few minutes later, another cop car arrived along with an ambulance who started working on Haizaki's injuries. With only a broken nose and black eye being the only severely injures the male sustained, the cops took the now awake male into their back seat.
"You're mine, Kise! I'll come back for you! Just you wait baby!" he laughed as the cops slammed the door shut and drove away. Aomine growled with disgust and pulled the blond closer to himself.
"Officer Aomine. Please sit down so I can check your injuries."
"No. Check Kise first."
"A-Aominecchi."
"No. Kise first" he ignored the blond's pleading. The medic sighed and signaled the model to sit in the back of the vehicle. While they wrapped Kise up in bandages, Aomine finally got a good look at how much Haizaki was able to mark his friend.
A few bruises on his legs and arms, a gash across his forearm and chest, and swollen lips. What stood out the most was the slash that was on Kise's left cheek. Aomine flinched as they rubbed alcohol on the wound. Kise looked up at the brute with a sad smile. Aomine's heart dropped in his chest.
"We're all done Kise-san. The lacerations weren't very deep but please make sure you change the bandages at least once a day until they've healed" the medic helped Kise out the vehicle. Aomine sighed as he was placed in the same spot while they worked on his hands and face. Luckily, Aomine suffered only a black eye and bruised knuckles. Once they finished wrapping both of his hands, they let them go.
"Aomine-san, please make sure you rest those hands and take medication for the swelling. I suggest you put ice on your injuries as well until they no longer feel pain" the medic told the brute. Aomine nodded and placed a hand on Kise's back.
"Thanks. We'll be heading out now" he pushed Kise towards the car. Neither male has spoken to each other since Kise's breakdown. It wasn't until both men got inside the car and started to drive away that Kise spoke.
"W-Where are we going?"
Aomine sighed. "I'm taking you home. I have to go to the police station and make a report."
"S-So you're going to leave me alone?" the blond whimpered. The brute glanced over to the smaller male, seeing him hugging his body for comfort.
"Did you want to come with me to the station?" he asked. Kise nodded. "I don't want to be alone right now."
The tan man gripped the steering wheel tighter but didn't respond. Instead, he made a right turn to head towards the station, the guilt following him close behind.
Reason behind having two chapters into one Sunday is because I was so focused on writing that I didn't realize that I wrote the chapter over 4,000 words. I thought that it might be a bit too much for a chapter so I split it into two. I apologize for the fight scene. I've never written one before so I hope it was good enough..? Anyways, please leave a review if you like and follow to know when the story is updated.
Or you could just come back on Sundays. Whatever works for you.
