Betrayal of the Heart By Angel of EvilChapter 2 Agitation
The Sunday morning was slowly dragging by. Everything seemed still and motionless. He wished he could have just lied in bed like every other person did on the last day of freedom before the new week of work, but he knew he wasn't any other person.
He would be woken at 8 a.m. sharp, every single weekend, and he couldn't even comprehend why. It would just happen and if he tried to go back to sleep it wouldn't work. It was like he had an alarm inside his head. He loathed having to wake up early. He cherished his time to sleep. You could dream all your problems away. You could be in your most desired place or with your most desired person. So much better than reality where everything was all work and no play. It would be school six days a week, sometimes maybe five, if he were lucky, then two days of liberty which actually weren't liberty but were for doing school essays or projects. He hated it.
All of it.
He believed people were slaves to life. They worked all their lives, and for what? Nothing that's what! You went through the worst that life had to offer and gained nothing in return.
Freedom does not exist.
He switched the channel.
Any positive feelings he had before now were slowly fading.
Two long hours had gradually passed since he'd opened his eyes and all he could think of to do was the usual morning things. Brush his teeth, shower and have breakfast, he was now bored stiff, agitated, and sat in front of the TV not really acknowledging what was on. He thought having it on would help keep him occupied. Well it didn't.
Annoyed, he picked up the remote from the sofa arm and switched the box off. Nothing but mindless drivel was on.
He stood up and walked out of the living room.
Not really aware of what he was doing, he went downstairs into the kitchen and picked up the wall phone.
A few moments later Davis's number had been dialled in and he was awaiting an answer from the other end. The click of the phone being picked up was heard and in place of a cheery 'moshi moshi' he instead received somewhat of a … cough…
He cleared his throat suddenly feeling nervous as his mind registered what he what he was doing. He was about to ask Davis to come over, that way he'd get rid of his boredom and Davis, who never did much on a Sunday, would have something significant to do. Apart from of course watching the mindless drivel on the television.
Ken smiled to himself.
He felt a little confused, the phone had been picked up and yet there was no sound.
Aware he was going to get no response by remaining silent and slightly impatient, he spoke.
"Hello, can I speak to Daisuke please?" Ken inquired trying not to sound too eager. He waited a while for a reply twiddling the phone's cord with his fingers. He was expecting Mrs Motimiya to answer, apologizing for the long pause because she was caught up in trying to separate Jun and Davis who were at each other's throats. This was what happened quite frequently at the home of the Motimiyas. You could knock at their door and hear the shrieks and yells of the two fighting before the door was even opened.
To his dismay the annoying and unmistakeable voice of Jun Motimiya answered back.
"Is this that weird Ichijouji kid again?"
Ken frowned.
'That' weird Ichijouji kid?
Sometimes he couldn't comprehend at the least why this girl could not remember his simple 3-letter name. It wasn't too much information to store, even for someone with her small brain capacity. K-E-N. How hard could it be? He also disliked the way she referred to him as weird. Why she often did, he had no idea. Nor did he really care.
"Yes this is Ken Ichijouji, may I please speak with your brother?" he repeated with a sigh. There was an awkward silence as he waited for her response. Could it possibly be that she was thinking? A rare occurrence for siblings of the Motimiya family.
"Hmm…" Why would one have to think over such a question? His patience was wearing thin now and they hadn't even exchanged more then two sentences yet. "Hai. I think the little imps asleep but if you want I'll wake him!" she cried, sounding quite potent about the whole idea.
He wasn't though, he rather not wake Davis. He'd completely forgotten how his friend liked his late weekend lie-ins.
It was only 10 a.m., which in Davis's world was actually a horrendous 6 a.m.! A woken Davis was not often a very reasonable let alone cheerful person.
"Asleep? Oh, well in that case never mind I'll just-"
"DAVIS!!!" too late.
He pulled the phone away from his ear almost deafened.
"Ouch…" It seems she had made up her own mind.
"BRAT IT'S YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
O…k this disturbed him…
There was silence.
He knew he was now blushing, he frowned again.
The thunderous stomps of Jun on the laminated flooring could be heard in the background. Soon it stopped and all was heard was a sleepy Daisuke yelling at his sister, who as expected yelled back. A few moments later and a groggy voice was heard.
"Who the hell is this?!" He was slightly taken aback by the anger and the demand in Daisuke's voice.
Not quite the greeting he had in mind but nonetheless it was better than what he had been expecting from an awoken Davis.
"Umm… hey Davis," he replied hesitant how to respond to his frustration, "It's me, Ken…"
"Ken?" he sounded slightly embarrassed this time. He cleared his throat just like Ken had before. "Hi buddy! What's up?" suddenly Davis no longer sounded the least bit tired and was full of energy again as usual. He was surprisingly cheerful too.
Again Ken sighed. This time it was in relief, Davis wasn't angry with him for ringing so 'early', he shook his head. He was confused again.
"Sorry I woke you but you see mum and dad are out and the house is empty so-"
"I was awake!" he quickly retorted defensively, then regrettably yawned. "Been awake for aaaaages." Ken could hear quiet raspy breaths, misjudging this for Davis's tiredness he chuckled.
"So I'm sure," he arched a brow. "Anyway, back to my empty house."
"Say no more! I'll be right over, anything to be free of the ugly Jun freak," this clearly was to meant to be heard by Jun. Ken waited to hear her feedback, there's was no way one could miss that hint. Especially when the words were yelled out of the colossal mouth of Daisuke Motimiya.
To Ken's surprise, he didn't hear her yelling torment, but he could still hear the raspy breaths which had perceptibly become heavier.
"Davis do you have asthma or something? I'm a little worried, you're breathing really strangely," Davis just sniggered.
"You must be hearing things dude, is that your idea of a conversation subject? You need a hobby man! We need to smash up that computer of yours," he laughed. "You spend way too much time on it." Ken chuckled forgetting the issue.
"Well maybe my computer is better company then you."
"Well maybe you need me to hack your computer up, so, you can see how good a company I can be."
"Maybe I just need somebody to show me a good time," then Ken blushed realizing what he had not meant to say.
"Maybe I'll teach how to have a good time when I come over," Davis teased.
Ken smiled in response, luckily his comment hadn't been taken badly, so he decided to play along.
"Thank you oh so generous Davis, I'm not worthy. I'm so grateful to have such a considerate friend," sarcastically he replied unable to stop another small chuckle escape his lips.
"Everybody loves me! I'm unique, the best!" Davis boasted cheerfully. Ken rolled his eyes in despite of his friend's self absorbed behavior. Davis always knew how to make someone around him feel embarrassed. Embarrassed to know him!
"How modest," he muttered.
The topic quickly changed again, and Davis unexpectedly returned to the previous conversation.
"Look dude it's probably just the phone connection. You worry 'bout nothing."
"Hey I'm sorry, not everyone can be so relaxed over everything," then he had an afterthought, "actually you're not very relaxed half of the time..."
"What do you mean i'm not relaxed!" he demanded.
"...I was talking about me?"
"We've stopped the end of the world! There's not much now left to worry about."
Then out of nowhere Ken figured out a possibility for the hushed wheezing.
"Hey, you know the creepy sounds, perhaps someone might be listenin-"
Davis interrupted.
"Except my stupid, no brain sister, she really doesn't like you Ken…"
"Way to spot the obvious Davis! Anyway about your sister-"
"Don't lose sleep over it though. She's probably just jealous."
"No listen Davis-"
"Too bad Jun's so dumb she can't even get people to NOTICE HER EXISTENCE, LET ALONE GET SOME FRIENDS!"
"Will you just listen to me-"
"But that's probably 'cause she's so BUTT UGLY!" Ken became silent at Davis's words giving up. Though the new voice that shouted couldn't be said the same for.
"Hey goggle brain, no need to shout I'm on the other line. Ha!"
This was becoming more and more uncomfortable by the minute. Did Jun always listen to his brother's telephone conversations? At least Ken knew he had been right. Wait a minute, had she been listening the whole time...?
Davis was obviously becoming quite infuriated by her mean comment judging by the way he was temporarily speechless.
"You're dissing the goggles?! Nobody disses the goggles! You…" He paused a moment again, thinking up something insulting to retort back to her. "Matt stalker!" And it seemed he had.
Great. An argument.
"Hey I'm over him!" she sneered unable to hide the fact she was slightly hurt, then in a much fiercer taunting voice she added, "anyway why so angry? Aw, did the little goggle brains want some 'privacy' with his lover?"
Great. Even more discomfort.
"Sure hairball (!) I mean, shut up you hairball!"
"Umm… I'm still here…" Ken managed through embarrassment meekly.
"Ha, can't deny it can you imp?"
"Why do you keep implying I'm gay? Remember Kari! And At least I don't go around stalking Sora now, if you ask me you're the one who's bent!"
"Hello?" He tried again.
"Oh you little…! Anyway you and that Hikari girl don't stand a chance and you know it!" that must of hurt Davis bad, Hikari was one of the dearest people to him.
"What would you know? Care to tell us when the last time you were in a relationship was? Oh yeeaaah, that's right. You've never been in one!"
"Like you'd know," she said defensively, " think I'd tell you even if I had?"
"You said 'had'!"
"Whatever dog breath!"
The telephone cord in his hands was pulled taut with both hands.
Ken couldn't stand any more. And didn't want to hear any more of their idiocy either.
"SHUT UP!"
Now there was only silence.
"He was yelling at you ya know!" Davis said smugly. Ken merely rolled his eyes and groaned.
"Whatever goggle brains!" There was the slam of a phone and a mischievous giggle from Davis.
He let the phone cord slip off his fingers.
"Hehe, never knew a shy little thing like you Ken had it in you!"
"You are such a baby Daisuke," Ken said slightly uncomfortable his anger quickly disappearing.
"Am not!" he protested in a mock baby voice.
He laughed again.
"Yeah right (!)"
"Meanie!" He sulked in the same cute, childish voice.
"Sure. So about coming over, do you think you can make it mine for around 11? I know it's really soon, but I'm just so bored."
"Umm, yeah sure! I just need to get ready and I'll be right over," he cried enthusiastically. Ken sweat dropped.
"I thought you've been awake for aaaaaages?" Davis paused for a second.
"Oh, hehe? I'll be there, don't wait up!" Davis yelled, at first embarrassed but then very self-assured.
"K. Cya Davis".
"Laters!" Davis said, a loud thump heard in the setting.
"Uh, Davis… what was that?" Ken asked sounding perplexed.
Davis snorted.
"I fell…"
"Ok… erm, don't knock yourself unconscious or anything. You better be on time for once."
"And that is supposed to mean what exactly?!" Davis yelled hurt. Him? relaxed? Sure(!)
"Davis you're always late!"
"So, doesn't mean you gotta rub it in, I said I'd be there, so I'll be there," he promised solemnly.
"In that case, I'll see you at 11, sharp."
"K, buh byes!" There was another loud thump but Ken dismissed it.
He put the phone down slowly and sat in one the dining chairs. He thought through the conversation. What an ordeal just to invite one person over.
Davis?
Me?
Boyfriend?
Strange…
The fact that Jun was implying something very wrong about he and his best friend was…well, unconceivable! The Motimiya family were not a family to aggravate…
What was Jun's problem? Why did she say such things, even if it were just for a joke?
He shook head trying to be free of these thoughts insisting to himself that Jun was just having a bad case of PMS or something. Then tried to get back to the more important issues. Davis would be arriving soon, so he'd need to get things ready.
He got up from the chair and turned around to study the kitchen shelves, there'd need to be plenty of food with a person like Daisuke around.
He tried to stop thinking about the thoughts as he tidied his home, but they just wouldn't go away. He still couldn't figure out why it bothered him so much what Jun thought, or why her words irritated him so.
They managed to haunt him for the short hour, until the doorbell rang.
