"Naoki-kun?" Aichi smiled, as his best friend walked into the classroom. "Good morning!"
Naoki grinned his usual, cheerful grin. "Yo, Aichi! How are you doing?"
"I'm fine," Aichi smiled, as Naoki sat down at the desk beside him, grinning.
"Hey, Aichi, this evening, could you come over at my house?" Naoki asked. To Aichi - it almost sounded like a plea.
"E-Eh...? What's this out of a sudden?" Aichi tilted his head to one side innocently. Naoki's just like the usual Naoki, but something's a bit off...
...Probably just his imagination.
"I don't get to spend as much time with you, Aichi," Naoki pouted, and slumped on the desk. "I just wanna hang out, y'know."
"U-Uwah...I'm sorry, Naoki-kun!" Aichi clasped his hands around Naoki's. "I'm really sorry for not hanging out with you...you know. I guess today...today...I'll go over at your place...as an apology...?"
Naoki grinned widely upon hearing that. "Then it's agreed! I bought a new video game yesterday, and I'll let you be the first one to try it out!"
Aichi smiled. Things seemed to be getting back to normal.
...or not.
"Ren, for the millionth time, I am not going to let you kiss me." Leon threw his controller to the floor and crossed his arms sternly, a glare on his face. "If you try to kiss me again, I will kill you. I swear it on the wind, I'll kill you."
Ren squinted at the blonde, a pout on his face, as he put down his controller. Ren had invited (actually, dragged) Leon at the crack of dawn, to his apartment, insisting the blonde to play video games with him. Leon beat him every single round, despite the fact that Ren was trying to kiss him 24/7. "But you're cute, Leon-kunn!"
Leon blushed slightly. "Shut up! I am a man, and I am not cute..."
"Hell yeah you are," Ren shrugged, smiling as slyly as usual. "I just can't resist you..."
"I'm leaving!" Leon stood up adruptly, and strode towards the door. Why is heartbeat beating so crazily? For some idiot like him...
Ren, seeing that his new 'toy' was getting away, quickly blocked his path. "Nee, Leon-kun, I'm not finished with playing with you yet!"
Leon took an unsure step backward. "I am not your toy."
"Of course you are!" Ren whined, grabbing hold of both of Leon's wrists, a sudden serious look on his face. "Leon-kun...I thought Aichi was once my toy too, you know? I thought he would always be my favorite toy...I...I thought Aichi is really the one for me...But when I met you..."
Leon felt like he couldn't breathe.
"Leon-kun, you're always going to be my favorite toy! I'm sure..." Ren grinned. "I'm sure that I really had fallen in love with you, Leon-kun!"
"..." Leon turned away, his eyes lowered to the floor. "...Don't say such things so carelessly..."
"Leon-kun, don't be shy..." Ren whined, embracing the blonde from behind, wrapping his arms around Leon's waist. "It's just me, Leon-kun..." Leon did not struggle, which was like an invitation to Ren.
Leon, his face bright red, mumbled, "I barely know you, Ren. We just met a few days ago...I can't..."
Ren nuzzled his face in the crook of Leon's neck. Leon trembled slightly, as Ren's warm breath tickled his skin.
"Then let's get friendlier, shall we?"
"Sorry for the intrusion..." Aichi mumbled, as he stepped into Naoki's house. Everything was the same since he last came here...before Kai showed up and everything...Today, after school was over, Kai wasn't waiting for him at the school gates. Strange...
"Make yourself comfortable!" Naoki grinned, ushering Aichi into his living room. I'll get you a drink. What do you want? Orange juice maybe?"
"T-That's great, thank you!" Aichi beamed, as he lowered himself onto the sofa. "A-Also, Naoki-kun?"
"Yeah?" Naoki stopped in his tracks.
"I'm sorry...you know, for leaving you..." Aichi lowered his eyes, guiltiness bubbling in his chest.
"Oh, it's nothing," Naoki waved it away casually. "Friends forgive each other...right?"
"Yeah..." Aichi smiled slightly. "Ah, also, I need to use the bathroom! I'll be right back..."
"The toilet at the first floor isn't working. Go use the one on the second floor," The auburn-haired teen flashed him a grin, and Naoki headed towards the kitchen, but before he could leave the room, Naoki said in a cold, menacing tone, "Also...please don't go into my room...Aichi-kyun..."
That took Aichi by surprise. 'Aichi-kyun'?! Naoki never called him that. This is getting strange...
"Okay, Naoki-kun..." Aichi replied, as he went towards the stairs.
...
When Aichi finished his business in the bathroom, he couldn't help but to feel suspicious as he passed Naoki's room on the way down. Aichi looked left and right, to make sure no one was watching. It won't really hurt to take a little peek, right? The curiosity is killing him. Just a little bit...it would probably be okay...
Aichi slowly reached for the knob, and twisted it open silently. He pushed the door open, only a tiny bit so he could peek at what was inside.
One glance, and Aichi's eyes widened. He pushed the door open wider, and walked into the room. No...This isn't...
Even in the dim light, Aichi could see why Naoki didn't want him to come in.
What is going on? Why is Naoki doing this?
Why...
The walls of Naoki's bedroom...it was covered in photos...the photos of him. Aichi gulped, and walked closer to one of the photos. There were photos...photos that shouldn't exist. Photos of Aichi eating breakfast back at his house, taken from the kitchen window. Photos of him in the shower, even...
There was even a photo of him when he was asleep, a photo that couldn't possibly be taken from a window. Naoki must've been in the room at that time...but that's not what's creepy about it.
His face was circled in red - when he looked closer, it was drawn in blood...and there was one word written underneath:
'MINE'
"A-Ah..." Aichi covered his mouth with one of his hands, tears threatening to spill out in fear. Naoki...The cheerful, reckless Naoki...
That was when strong arms wrapped around the bluenette's waist from behind.
Aichi froze. He knew who it was without turning around.
"I thought I told you to stay away...Aichi..." Naoki whispered sadly into his ear. "Why didn't you stay away?"
"I..." Aichi started to say something, but then he was shut up when Naoki jammed his fingers into the boy's mouth.
"...Such a bad boy..." Naoki whispered again, his other hand starting to snake under the shota's school uniform. Aichi could feel him smirking against his skin. "You were once such a good boy, Aichi...such a good child back then...It's because of him that made you turn into a bad child, isn't that right?"
Aichi trembled, as tears started to roll down his cheeks. Naoki-kun...This isn't Naoki-kun...
Please give me back my Naoki-kun...
"I never thought a good child like you would disobey me," Naoki laughed mirthlessly, as he leaned down to kiss Aichi's temple. "I love you, Aichi...but I have no choice but to punish you...After all, bad children should be punished, right?"
That was the last thing Aichi heard, before everything went black.
