13 A.M (Deluhi Fanfiction) - Chapter 10

そして奈落の淵で君を想う

無数の星 敷き詰める夜空へ

消して彼方に揺らめくその影は

甘く尖る、死への瞬き

And I think of you at the edge of the abyss

To the night sky, paved in countless stars

The flickering shadows fade in the distance

Sweetly sharp, twinkling of death

Kihiro snapped open his eyes and looked at his watch, which he placed on the bed side table earlier. It was already 8 a.m. Deep in his heart he was too afraid to have a look beside him. He afraid to see an empty bed, where Leda slept before, and when he turned around, his guess was right.

The bed was empty.

He quickly raised up and sat on the bed sighing. Leda had left him again. He punched the head board before swearing alone. "Fuck! Damn! You did it again Leda! You left me alone!"

Unable to think wisely, he reached his cell phone and called Katsumi. "Katsumi, find Leda now and bring him back here. Now!" Kihiro felt really mad. Now he doesn't care if he was labelled as selfish, but all he knew and needed now was Leda. He wanted Leda beside him now.

Jumping down from the king-sized bed and wore back his pants, he wanted to leave the room and rushed to Katsumi's room, but when he opened the door, he was greatly surprised seeing Leda was hugging his knees sitting beside the door. "Leda! Why are you here?"

Leda stood up to greet Kihiro with a smile. A warm and sunny smile. "Good morning Kihiro." Neglecting the blurred face, he gave a peck on Kihiro's right cheek.

"Why are you sitting here? Come inside." Kihiro pulled his body to enter the room as he closed the door behind him.

"I was so hungry.. yesterday I didn't eat anything. So I went out to buy onigiri. When I came back here I tried to open the door but it couldn't open. I want to call you but my phone was left inside. I cannot think what to do more.. so that's why I am here." Leda explained the whole situation briefly, while lowering down his head.

Kihiro patted his head and burst into laugh. It was very relief to have that boy back in his arms. So this time Leda kept to his promise. This boy was so silly in an attractive way. He pulled Leda in his hug and whispered. "Half of my soul gone when I found out you was not beside me this morning. I thought you had left me again without saying goodbye. My mistake too, as I brought you here without asking if you had eat or not. We should have breakfast together. Forgive me." He nipped his lips on Leda's forehead.

"Hm.." Leda could sniff Kihiro's body scent while in his arms. That guy didn't wore shirt and his body glistening with cold sweat. "I don't want to trouble you anymore."

"Hush." Kihiro shook his head. "You are not troubling me at all." Suddenly he lifted Leda and brought him to the bed. "But as for compensation of worrying me a few minutes ago, I need you to refresh myself. A quick morning sex will do?"

"Ahhhh?" Leda raised his brows. His cheeks flushed into red blushing color. "But.. but.."

"No. I don't want to hear anything. Just lay down and let me do you, okay?" He put the body on the bed. Kihiro reached his phone and called Katsumi. He told Katsumi to get ready after thirty minutes and happily informed him that Leda was there with him. After ended up his call, he was eagerly pulling off his pants, and started to tuck out Leda's shirt.

"Ah.. no.. let me do it myself." Leda patted his palm on Kihiro's chest.

Kihiro smiled softly. "Well, you heard what I told Katsumi. We got only thirty minutes. Impress me." That words made Leda hardly blushed more. He nodded and took off his shirt, revealing his body which was marked by marks of being kissed and bitten. Kihiro was quite proud with his works. Leda was his. Nobody could steal him away.

Leda then pulled down his pants. He was holding his breath while doing so. His heart beating fast and his fingers was shivering madly. It was a quick one. When he done stripping himself, he sat in front of Kihiro and stared right onto Kihiro's eyes. That guy then gently lowered his head, opening his mouth a bit and licked Leda's right nipple.

"Um..." Leda tucked his hand onto Kihiro's head. He was getting turned on with that. He could feel those two tiny nubs getting harden when Kihiro sucked on them.

Kihiro stopped sucking and he ordered him to lay down on the cold mattress. "Hm..." Leda closed his eyes. It was so embarrassed. He just did whatever Kihiro asked him to.

He could feel Kihiro's fingers lingering on his stomach. His skin reacted with every of that touch. Those fingers stopped on his scar, where he had been stabbed before. Apparently, the secret lied within them. Nobody here in Nagoya knew about what had happened before.

"Your wound seems like completely healed. Leaving a small scar. A scar which reminds me of us. How we met.. how we became one.." Those words were being uttered romantically.

Leda raised his palm to his mouth. He slowly nodded agreed. "I won't forget."

"As long as this scar exists, you are mine." The older guy kissed that scar with his cold lips, making Leda shuddered under his touch.

Kihiro sat between his legs. He wanted more. He grabbed on Leda's thighs and lingering his fingers on Leda's bottom, encouraging Leda to let out small whimper. "You had cleaned area down here."

"Ah.. no! Don't look!" Leda tried to hold his hands but Kihiro shushed him with kisses on his shivering thighs. "Don't be shy to me." He gently bite Leda's inner thigh. That bite made Leda trembling greatly. He started to whimper when Kihiro grabbed and gently stroking his member. "You feel comfortable?"

"Um.. yes.." Leda mumbled. He was too tensed with the foreplay.

"Say that you want me." Kihiro pleaded. Leda nodded. "I.. I want you."

"Good." He grinned contently and holding his member, he placed it on Leda's entrance and unable being patient, he pushed it in harshly.

"Ah! It's hurt! No!" Leda almost spill out tears with that sudden thrust, grabbing the bed sheet tight. Kihiro knew he shouldn't be so overly rushing so he quickly pulled Leda's body a bit to aside. This time he tried to do it from back while laying down. "I'm sorry. I will do it gently. I'm sorry."

Slowly, he placed himself beside Leda, with his chest closed to Leda's back. Hugging the boy gently in his arms, he moved his waist as he planted some soft kisses on Leda's upper back and neck. His tongue gently licked on Leda's ears, as he having his pleasure hearing small shrill cry coming from the boy.

It was a quick one when he quickly came together with Leda. Both of them stayed on the bed for another ten minutes hugging each other when Katsumi came knocking their door. Yet, they had Katsumi standing outside for another fifteen minutes as they quickly mocked in the bathroom for shower.

"I will call you once I reached Tokyo. You take care and do call me if there's anything, or if you miss me, perhaps?" Kihiro smiled and kissed his head before Leda stepping out from the car.

"I will." Leda gave him his tender smile. He was starting to miss Kihiro now. "Take care too."

Kihiro dropped him not far from his house after being assured it was safe for Leda as well as to avoid any possible eyes on them. After saying goodbye, Katsumi drove away with Kihiro. Leda waved his hands to them before the car disappeared from his sight. He slowly walked to his house. His body was aching in a pleasure way. He never thought he would do the second and third time with that guy. He sighed. What happened to him? Was he really turning to a gay? But.. he doesn't care anymore. All he knew was he was certain with his feelings. He loved Kihiro and that was all matters.

Leda entered his home and arranged his shoes on the rack. He was sure his father had gone to work but his thoughts went wrong when someone coughed to get his attention.

"You are late. Where did you went last night?" His father, Mr. Hayashi showed his unsatisfied face.

"Ah.. dad. Hm.. I told you I slept at Sujks's house. We worked overtime and I missed the last train."

"Don't you ever lied to me, Leda!"

"Lie.. lied?"

Leda was quite nervous. Did his father saw who dropped him just now?

"Since when you started to lie to me? I never taught you to lie! I bumped with Sujk this morning when I want to throw the rubbish and he was quite blurred when I was asking about you." Mr. Hayashi gave him a dead glare.

"I was... I was.. with another friend.." Leda couldn't looked at his father's eyes. He was guilty.

"Enough! Some of my friends downtown said they saw you with some person last night! A tattooed-guy! And another guy! What were you doing?! I don't want you to hang out with bad people! They might give you bad influences!" Mr. Hayashi seemed had lost his temper. "Is it not enough with all the attention and things I tried to complete our life with?!"

Leda flinched. He was too afraid to lift his face. "I'm sorry.."

"Fine! You are grounded for a week! If I know you get involve with drugs or whatsoever, I will send you to your uncle at Kyoto! You want that?!" Grabbing Leda's right arm harshly, he pulled his son to the living room before releasing his grip. "Go inside your room and don't try to go out today! I am late now to work! Gosh! Don't you dare to put me in troubles! If you want to stay at college and work part time, obey my words! Got it?!"

Leda shrugged his shoulder. He was too afraid to argue. He slowly brushed his right arm which was sore with the tight grip.

Mr. Hayashi quickly left after slamming the front door leaving Leda alone in that small house.

Leda almost cried but he tried to hold strong. It was hurt. He couldn't go out with friends or Sujk this week rather than going to college or to the cafe.

He sloppily dragged his feet. He went to his bedroom and took off his jacket, tossing it on his small old bed. He felt tired and sleepy. Leda almost wanted to unbuckle his belt when he felt a pair of strong hands wrapped his chest, making his body leaned on muscular chest. Being shocked, he was about to scream but one hand was placed over his mouth.

"Calm down. You are scared? This is Aggy." Aggy laughed while letting go of Leda. Leda turned around quickly and glared at aggy. "How you could enter my house?"

"Your father was here and I asked his permission to be here, waiting for you." Aggy smiled and sat on Leda's bed but his eyes glanced a look to Leda. This was his first time seeing Leda's body without shirt on and he never thought his ex-lover had a fair appealing skin. How sad, when he thought that all this while he never appreciated the other guy.

"But you are not allowed to enter my room! Get out now!"

"Leda.." Aggy stepped closer and trapped Leda's body between the wall. Leda felt uncomfortable with this situation. It was not like when Kihiro did this. He was sure Kihiro never meant to do bad on him but this time he felt Aggy was like another person. His expression was not like before. His old Aggy was kind and always protect him since the school years. Being a close friend was enough to vague their friend-turning-to-lover relationship. Even Mr. Hayashi never sensed something with their normal routine bond.

"After you left Tokyo, I had thinking about us. I realized.. that I need you. Could we just get back together?" Aggy cupped Leda's jaw, lifting the face to look at his eyes.

Leda gritted his teeth. Too bad, his feelings to Aggy was gone after Kihiro came to his life.

"I am sorry.. I can't. I don't love you anymore." He turned his face aside, couldn't even look at Aggy's pleaded eyes.

Aggy was surprised with Leda's confession and spontaneously his grips on Leda's jaw getting firm. Leda closed his eyes and at that time, he was thinking about Kihiro. He couldn't betrayed Kihiro's trust to him, so Leda used his strength to push Aggy away from his body. "If this is your way to coax me back, you better forget it." Leda was trying to get away from his own room.

"Wait, Leda!" Aggy pulled his shoulder but then he realized the marks on Leda's back and shoulder.

"I see.. I am not the first to mark you. I even didn't have the chance though." Aggy suddenly laughed with bitter smile. He thought Leda was pure all this while. Indeed they never sleep together, as he respect Leda's request on not getting ready yet on any intimate relationship. But.. it seemed like he had did it with another guy.

"Tell me Leda, who is that guy? I heard your dad was quite mad just now. He mentioned about a tattooed guy... is him... the guy you met at Tokyo few weeks ago?" Leda stood up to face Aggy with scared eyes.

"It is none of your business! Get out from here! I don't want to see your face anymore! We are over and it was actually you who threw me away!" He tried to push Aggy to exit his room, and if possible, from this house.

Aggy straightened his hands at the door, refusing to go. "Looks like my guess is right. It's Kihiro, right? That guy's name?"

Leda stopped his movement. He feared if Aggy knew the truth about his relationship with Kihiro. That could be bad if that guy told his father about it. He might be sent to his uncle and stayed at the shrine. He didn't want that.

"Am I right?" Aggy repeated his question.

Leda shook his head. "Don't make any assumption. My life had no longer associates with yours. You better leave now. Please..."

Aggy stared at him with a cruel look. He was pretty sure about it. Leda couldn't lie normally. He will change his tone without realizing it at all. "Leda, come back to me. Kihiro is not a good guy for you. He's a yakuza! Why are you so naive?! He will put you in problems and uncle Hayashi won't be happy if he knew about it!" Shaking Leda's shoulder desperately, he tried to make Leda realized the truth.

"What?! I told you don't simply make assumptions about my life!" Leda snarled angrily. That was his limit. Who was Aggy to coax him to stay away from Kihiro? He knew nothing about it!

"Get your ass out from my house, now!" He yelled, pointing his finger to the door.

Aggy gave him a very tense look. "Fine. I will go now. But bear in mind, I will be here for a week, for you. And since you are grounded, I believe your dad will just let me or friends he trusts enough to be by your side. You won't get a chance to meet that yakuza guy anymore. Like it or not, I will do whatever it will take to protect you like before."

"Shut the fuck up! Now leave!" Leda almost lost his patience. Aggy was too much. But the reality behind every each of his words made Leda really scared. Truth hurts.

Aggy quickly left that place after giving Leda a smooch gesture from afar, ignoring how mad Leda was at that moment.

Leda sloppily fell down to the floor. He was totally scared now. Aggy was right. Worsen, he started to miss Kihiro. Every sweet words and kisses they shared leaving a deep dark secret behind.

He crawled to his bed. Resting his chin on the edge of the bed, he reached his cell phone beside the pillow. He wanted to call Kihiro and burst out all to him, but he knew, he couldn't do that. Kihiro was kind to him. His tears suddenly fell. Normally he was not that weak to cry but this feeling teased him so much. It hurts. Reality and dreams shouldn't bound together.

"Kihiro.. I miss you." He uttered alone. But his strength was loosen when finally he cried silently underneath his pillow.

It was long after when his phone ringing.

Leda almost fell asleep. He had cried and let fatigue taken him to half-reality-and-half-dream world. He realized he was nearly dozed off. How long he had actually being in that illusions?

He glanced at the screen. A name appeared on it.

It was Kihiro.

Leda quickly slide the screen on and pick up the call.

"Leda! I am here already at Tokyo! I hope you fine. I started to miss you but many works waiting." Kihiro's voice sounded so cheerful.

Leda smiled alone. "Kihiro. I started to miss you too. Glad you safely arrived there."

But he did a mistake. His husky voice and stammering tone due to the crying effects revealed his uncertainty and vulnerability to Kihiro.

"Hey.. Leda? Are you alright? Your voice... are you crying?" There was the question.

"Ah.." Leda quickly stood up. "No. I just awake from a short nap. I am fine."

"Really?"

"Yes. Yes." Leda nodded even he knew Kihiro couldn't see him. "I am totally fine." His voice broken again.

"Well.." He heard Kihiro silent for a while. "Okay. I will call you again. Talk later! Take care." The line went hung up.

Leda released a relief sigh. He was pretty sure Kihiro really believed he was alright. He glanced to the clock on the wall. Nearly noon. He lazily stood up and headed for a bath.

A few hours passed since he received a phone call from Kihiro. It was eventually nearly seven in the evening. Leda was quite worried. His father would be home anytime soon. He didn't do anything today, as he didn't have the guts to step out from the house at all of being afraid to raise his father's wrath.

Mr. Hayashi came back from work soon after. They have dinner together in a silent mood. It was totally awkward. But the elder man seemed trying his best to ensure his son didn't skipped his meal.

"How's today? You didn't go out, right?" An inquiry broke the silence.

Leda raised his face. He was trying to finish his bowl. "Um.. yes. I didn't go anywhere.."

"Good. Continue this for a week."

"But dad..." Leda felt his eyes was stung with warm tears yet he tried to hide his concern. Being grounded means he wouldn't be able to skip a time to meet Kihiro at all if that guy come for a visit.

Mr. Hayashi gave him a serious glare. "I gave my words. You heard me. After this wash all the plates and go to sleep. Tomorrow I will have Aggy to accompany you to college. After that you can do your part time job with Sujk. Then straightly come back home. You are lucky I didn't confiscate your cell phone."

"Fine.. then.." Leda mumbled alone.

He quickly done the plates and went upstairs, confining himself in his own small room. Kihiro didn't call him yet, and while waiting for it, he quickly fell asleep.

It was quite annoying for Leda the next morning. He was barely got a good sleep and Aggy's appearance just ruined his mood. Quickly, he walked fast and even ignored Aggy's presence.

"Stop following me!" Leda snarled angrily, pushing Aggy away when he was walking to the nearest bus stop. Aggy didn't flinched a bit. He stopped for a while but then he continued tailing Leda wherever he went. Some moments, he was walking a few feet behind, and in some moment he was watching Leda from across the road after the classes were over.

Meanwhile, two person were watching them from a far.

"Looks like not only us are following him. It was not our day to approach Leda. That guy is really keeping his eyes on him." Kenichi uttered while scratching his head. Sin smirked widely. "Harder for Kihiro to meet him, isn't it?"

"Couldn't help." Kenichi shook his head. "But we have the whole week since the meeting is hold here. Kihiro could take another initiative."

The itinerary on that day was not much for Leda. He had to go to work after college. And Aggy was still tailing him around. Gosh... Wasn't he had anything to do?

The day went bored. Leda rushy dashed into his room when he arrived home, and that made his father happy seeing Aggy too. He just left them talking outside while he banged the bedroom door.

"Stupid Aggy!" Leda threw his bag away. He lay down on bed and slumped his face on pillow. He was missing Kihiro very much.. but why that guy even didn't called yet?

He felt exhausted. These few days were very tiring. He didn't bothered about his dinner at all even though his father did knocking his door for several times to ask.

Leda slowly dozed off alone. He forgot to turn on the heater, and he felt really cold.

The clock struck at 1:00 a.m.

Someone was knocking his window. Leda was fast asleep. He just realized something.. or someone was luring out of the balcony. He opened his eyes and rubbed his face.

"Who is it... so tired.." Alone, he asked. That was when he realized his phone was buzzing. Leda swearing alone as he just noticed he turned on the silent mode.

'Thud'

There was again. A sound. From his window. Leda quickly pulled the curtain. He was very surprised with what he saw.

Kihiro was standing outside at his balcony with a smile. Without wasting anytime, Leda opened the window and pulled Kihiro inside. They quickly closed the window pane.

"Kihiro.. what are you doing here?" He asked with nearly broken voice as he really never thought Kihiro would come here all by himself.

"I miss you. And I know you can't be left alone. So I have to come over. Night was still young." He chuckled happily. The lithe body was being pulled into his arms but it was not long when Kihiro jerked with surprise.

"Leda! You are so warm! Shit! You are having a fever!" Kihiro told him full with concern, palm patting on Leda's forehead.

Leda raised his brows. "I am?" He didn't noticed how his health had been deteriorated.

"Silly.." Kihiro sighed.

"So please hug me tonight.. as I couldn't sleep well these few days. It's killing me.. the feeling of missing you." Leda snuggled in Kihiro's bosom.

Kihiro couldn't denied Leda's plead. They lay down together on Leda's small bed, and that night they were sleeping while hugging each other. Sun will rise soon but in their world, dreams never ended.
