Chapter 4: One-sided Jealousy

"Okay…if you say so…" Ivan took his word for it since it was pretty obvious Edward didn't seem to be in the mood to talk. "Um, did something happen in the dojo?" The blond couldn't help himself and asked concerningly.

The Reds sucked his teeth out of irritation which made the blonde regret the instant he asked. "No." Ivan didn't ask any questions after that and went to the bedroom. Edward blamed his immature attitude for this awkward atmosphere that had just been created. He chilled in the living room alone, bored until he thought he heard Ivan's voice. The teen abruptly stood up and stood outside of his door confirming if it was truly the blond's, and it was.

"Sky high? Oh hi, is something the matter?" Ivan seemed to be on the phone.

"No of course not! I just felt like calling you, I hope this wasn't a bad timing or anything, if so I apologize in advance." The other voice on the phone replied.

"That's fine, really…" 'So it's just a phone call, big deal.' Edward concluded and decided to leave it at that returning back to the living room and making it to the kitchen since in reality he really was starving. 'What was he expecting?' The redhead just slouched back on the sofa where he ended up sleeping.

In the morning Ivan woke up earlier and creaked the door to the bedroom open, tiptoeing to the kitchen for a glass of water. On the way back he noticed the teen in a spread out position on the couch with his sheets falling off—now that made him quietly chuckle to himself. Involuntarily the blond fixed the blanket over the other and couldn't help but gaze at the sleeping Edward with his uniquely colored red hair rippled all over.

'He was really upset yesterday…I wonder what happened.' His eyes trailed over his thick eyebrows, lifted nose and then his lips where they unconsciously stood for a brief moment. 'No I shouldn't…' However before he knew it the blond was already on his knees a few inches from Edward's face aching for contact. Ivan quickly stole a short barely touching kiss and ran for it. His heart was thumping loudly every second until he reached his room in fear of anticipation if the older teen woke up.

It was late afternoon, and Edward was coming back from his morning errands. He entered their shared apartment with the blond on the sofa laughing on the phone which was still unusual to him.

"Welcome back." Upon noticing Edward, the teen enthusiastically greeted him unconditionally. "No it was just my roommate, yeah he's a close friend. Okay, that's fine. Bye."

"Socializing on the phone I see." The redhead dotted on him a bit by patting his head on the way to the other couch.

"It was only Sky High."

"The guy sure has a peculiar name I say." Edward raised his brow.

Ivan giggled at his statement. "Silly, that's not his name."

"Then why do you call him that?"

"Huh? Don't you know it's because—" Ivan was cut off by the beeping on his hero wristband. "Uh, sorry…"

"Just go, go." Edward shooed. Ivan agreed and grabbed his purple jacket on the way out. Now he had the flat all to himself, he still had time before he headed to the dojo so decided to practice his martial arts forms and then take a quick bath.

After the bath, with his short towel underlining the long tips of his wet hair on his shoulders, he came back to the living room with a can of beer. 'Let's see what's cookin' on TV.' The first channel that popped open was HeroTV and they were just broadcasting the victory of the heroes.

"Our heroes have done it once again! Although this time it was all thanks to the teamwork of Sky High and Origami!" The reporters enthralled. The camera was zoomed at them and they were offered to say a few words.

"Well, I don't want to take all the credit…" Origami bashfully spoke. 'That's so like him.' Edward thought with a smirk. On the other hand Sky High wrapped an arm over his neck shoving him closer.

"It is an honor! Thank you and thank you again!" He gratefully cheered along. Edward just looked at him unnecessarily. Now this felt like déjà vu. 'Not only were his actions reminiscent but that name: Sky High… Of course! He's the one that called earlier today and yesterday. Is he also the guy in the blue jacket from that time?' Edward didn't need to answer that. He coldly stared at the screen with dark eyes. 'Just who did this guy think he was? And why was HIS blood boiling so much? Is it the fact that someone was stealing his only cute and innocent friend?'

The teen knew there was more to that. He was sharp so it didn't take him long to sense his desires. It was all thanks to his jealousy or else he would have never guessed it. But then again there was also that dream which wasn't just a coincident anymore. 'Now that I think about it, I've probably always been attracted to the quiet blond…'

"I'm back." There was a tone of excitement in Ivan's voice as he opened the front door to… an empty apartment? "Edward?" He called when he looked around and didn't find him.

Meanwhile on Edward's side:

'I need to cool my head before I face him.' The redhead selfishly decided on his own and walked to the dojo. The weather was nice and breezy, there wasn't much sun left anymore and therefore more people could be seen hanging outdoors. He forgot how nice it felt to be out again. That's when something stabbed him in the chest, right on the heart. He halted on his tracks and automatically clutched his shirt. Nothing was there. 'What the heck was that?The pain was so real…'

"Guess who!" Two small hands masked over his eyes from behind while he was sitting and waiting for his turn to fight in the dojo.

"Not this again, of course it's Yui." Edward insignificantly answered to the voice. The hands came down. "Don't you ever get tired of this man?" He looked at the stranger that now sat besides him.

"Nope!" Yui answered with a wide smile. Yui was his junior in the dojo and really looked up to Edward.

"Alright, Edward and Yui, you guys are next!" The Sensei called.

"Yay with Edward- Senpai* again!" Yui cheered making his way to the center. He had dark short wavy hair somewhat similar to Ivan's, in fact even his physique was close to the blond's. He initiated the first move which Edward blocked with no problem, returning with a hit. Except he was never able to make it. The moment Ed reached his arms out towards the other his vision suddenly blurred causing him to miss. "It'll be no fun if you're going to hold back." Yui charged again.

Edward decided to attack one more time, exerting all his strength but this time he completely blacked out without even realizing and collapsed on the ground.

"Edward-senpai?!" Yui ran towards him.

The redhead opened his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Where am I?" He asked.

"The infirmary. You passed out of fatigue." The doctor told. 'Fatigue? Yeah right.' "At least that's what I thought before I looked at this." The dr. held out one of Edward's arm to show him a visible black spot there, close to his wrist.

"Where the heck did I get that?"

"I'm surprised, you're not aware? This is a very deadly disease that you've concurred, of course there's a cure…but it doesn't take it long to kill it's victim. Usually it's present within poor and closed areas."

'Poor and closed…oh shit! Of course! I must have been infected by it during my time in prison... Fuck, now what?' Edward thought with a deep frown.

"Please see a hospital immediately." The doctor requested. Edward nodded unwillingly. After that he excused himself and gathered his stuff to see the recommended specialist that the doctor advised him.

'Where on Earth did he go without telling me? It's past midnight and I have to head to the gym early tomorrow. Maybe something came up? But from where?' The blond's thoughts went crazy in his mind as he sat on the floor with his knees tied, lonely. That's right apparently Edward didn't come home from his training and now it was getting very late. What the blond didn't know was that Ed went to the hospital for an appointment with his new specialist.

In another while Edward showed up in front of the apartment and stood before the door ready to open it any moment. 'By now he should be fast asleep. I can't tell him about the disease yet.' He thought confidently as he entered the flat and to his surprise the lights were still on. Everything was still and bright including Ivan who was awake and clearly waiting for his arrival.

*Senpai: senior/upperclassmen
