Can such love be?
Hiroki pushed Nowaki off from him regaining back his sense he glared at the man. He threw the envelope back on to the counter, but with the extra force caused it to slide across the counter till it was abruptly stopped by the wall.
"Why the hell should I tell you! Didn't you say that you researched me?! You have the information so what is the point of me telling you!" Hiroki was fuming. Ignoring Nowak's confession, he refused to be deterred.
"Um about that ..."he laughed nervously, "When I came across your books, I kind of stop and started to read your books. By the way Misaki is a big fan of your mystery novels" he couldn't help but scratch his head, leaving Hiroki in a bind. Hiroki had wanted to knock some sense into the man, but restrain himself. Hiroki could feel a headache coming on; this man is so aloof yet so damn persistent on helping him. He didn't need anyone, for t hey certainly didn't need him.
"Hiro-if these are the people who kidnapped Misaki are now targeting you. Please, I want you to stay over at our estate, until this matter is resolve" He didn't say it as a suggestion, but more of an order, which seemed to piss Hiroki more.
"Hell no! I have work and deadlines to meet, you idiot! I can't just drop everything and just go with you!"
"Hiro-san I will take care of everything and you can work on your novel at the estate just take anything you need and I can provide the rest you need."Nowaki wasn't going to back down and he can just be as stubborn as Hiroki.
"I said no and that is final!"Hiroki stood his ground he wasn't let some rich brat get his way. Neither budge both were too stubborn and before anyone can do or say anything. The lights went out.
"What!" they said in chorus, Hiroki went out into the balcony with Nowaki who trailed behind him and they both saw that the neighborhood was dark.
"Looks like a black out, I bet the subway system is down too." Nowaki stated
"Huh?" Hiroki turned to look at Nowaki and a glint in his eyes that he was all too familiar to.
"May I stay for the night?" Nowaki asked, his voice hiding any ulterior motive, well according to Hiroki.
"What! Why?" With the cold breezing through the balcony causing him to shiver, Hiroki pushed Nowaki from his way into the warm apartment.
"I don't really like driving in the night and with the blackout I am not sure how the roads are. I don't want to worry my family." Nowaki kept on going not minding that Hiroki pushed him the side. Hiroki stared at him looking for any deceit or hidden agenda, but after what Misaki had told him about his family he was hesitant to trust Nowaki's words.
"Fine, but just for this night and you better leave in the morning." Hiroki was tired and just wanted the day to over, "Since this is one bedroom apartment you can sleep on the couch. There should be blankets in the storage closet," and with that he just went to his room and closed his door. Hiroki stood by the door not moving. Nowaki's words finally sunk in, but still he didn't want to accept it. They are merely words and noting more. With that he got ready for bed and left it at that.
Nowaki was alone in the living area. Nowaki went to the storage closet and grabbed some blankets and as he sat on the couch he notice that Hiroki had unintentionally left the envelope. He opened it without second thought and began to read its contents.

Somewhere in the middle of the night Hiroki wakes up, feeling a bit thirsty he gets up to get a glass of water. The apartment was still dark as he made way to the kitchen. He finds Nowaki sleeping on the couch and despite the couch being small he looked comfortable. Hiroki thought it was odd this man was so insistent on keeping his promise. Besides how can he love him, he has a family that has high expectations from him, it could never work.
He grabbed glass and filled it with water. He turned to return to his room, but something made him turn around and as if time seem to slow down. Out in the balcony shroud in all darkness saw a shadowed silhouette and the only thing he could see very clearly was the knife he held in his hands.
The sound of a glass breaking onto the floor that was followed by a scream filled with fright broke throughout the silent dark night.
