Chapter 27 - Listless Breath
He could hear the faint sounds of Welter's growls and Trip's voice overlapping with his allmate. Mizuki had been cooped up in his room since he last interacted with Aoba and for the moment, was on what the twins called, a 'time-out'. Despite him showing little interest of running away anywhere, they seemed to think it was necessary.
After a while of listening to most of the muffled voices, he could hear Aoba's voice but very little and it happened just after he heard shuffling from the hall. Trip and Welter must have been pushed out as he could hear the lion allmate's low growling.
Just then the door was pushed open and his theory had been correct. Trip and Welter had been shoved out by Virus. Although Welter and Hersha were usually a pair that stuck together like Trip and Virus, the two allmates did not seem as stuck together these past few days. Mizuki tried not to make eye contact with Trip as he walked inside the room.
"Aoba is...is he...back to normal?" Mizuki was curious as to who the man he saw back when Aoba first arrived. For the years that he had been held captive at their home, he had always witnessed Aoba, Virus and Trip doing outrageous acts of sexual gratification all while being watched by Hersha and Welter.
On most days they joined their masters in these acts. But Trip was the only one of the two to do anything like that with him. Of course, it still bothered him to know that Aoba, his only true best friend, was being so mistreated in such a way. Having to listen to Aoba's moaning and yelling when he was really in pain. It had all gotten to him.
He was not on great terms with the twins, not that he had ever wanted to but his odd habit of thinking of things to say during odd times like now, got the better of him and mostly he wanted to be sure that Aoba was indeed the man he joked around with back on the island.
Trip didn't answer the question and instead, led his allmate into the room too. He then sat down on a wooden chair that had been turned upside down for quite a while since it was covered with cobwebs at the bottom of it. Welter followed his master, copying the attitude that Trip was expressing.
Neither one of them said anything upon hearing Aoba's sudden moans that had been loud enough to leak into their side of the hall. Mizuki could see Trip's common and stern face, turn from conflicted to disgust. He had only witnessed this a few times before when he was allowed to freely walk outside of his room.
He would peek in and see Aoba and Trip alone together, sometimes with Welter. But on some days when he had overheard Aoba talking to Trip, it spooked him. He had never heard his friend talk at any point of time until then.
Aoba had asked Trip something about him and Virus and that was when Trip had a conflicted look on his face. During the time he was there, Trip had never shown him this kind of face before. But he assumed that because Aoba had asked such a question, even Trip could look sort of awkward at times.
When Trip still didn't say anything even after a few moments of silence from the other room, Mizuki asked a different question.
"Is there...a reason why you kept us separated?" This one struck something with Trip but just slightly. Trip looked a bit unsettled but he erased the new expression from his face.
He did not even need to signal to Welter for him to keep the other man in check. The lion sensed his master's distress and gave out a low growl while swishing his tail in such a way that spooked Mizuki and caused him to hug his knees.
Another sound coming from the room along with the sound of something slithering across the floor. Trip looked to the doorway of the room. Hersha, Virus's pet allmate, must have been shooed out of the room by Virus. Which was an odd thing for the man to do considering he almost always had the snake with him during times like this.
The snake slithered its way next to the lion and surveyed the area. Hersha was not as interested in its master's wishes and did not seem to care either way whether it was wanted or not and seemed to do as it pleased.
A loud THUMP! Could be heard from the other room. The sound of something on the floor. Trip wanted to interfere to see the problem or cause of the sound but he didn't want to stop Virus's mood. He could only assume that Aoba must have been causing a ruckus and was probably fighting back.
Mizuki could see Trip's ever constant changing expressions and was beginning to wonder whether the man was there at all or if he was slowly going crazy. Another loud moan. Mizuki couldn't help listening to them and found it weird that he was able to hear Aoba so clearly despite being in the room across from them.
"Getting into it?" Trip suddenly asked him. But when Mizuki didn't comeback with anything to say, he took it as a 'yes'.
Mizuki shook his head though and gripped the bed sheets of the bed he was sitting on. He grit his teeth as once again, another moan left the other room and sifted through his ears. He couldn't help but listen to them. He had never heard his friend like this and although it shouldn't have been weird since he knew Aoba would obviously be sexually active but being forced was something entirely different.
But just thinking this alone could not stop his body from reacting to the erotic sounds coming from the other room. Trip saw the reactions but did not let on that he could see them. He then stood up and walked out of the room, leaving Hersha and Welter behind to watch Mizuki.
He could tell Mizuki was watching him as he left. But Trip did not go into the other room and instead went down the hall that led to the warehouse's main entrance. It was dark throughout the large room and naturally the sky was darkened by both the night and the clouds it came with.
Trip couldn't stop fiddling with the fabric of his pants while having his hands inside his pockets. He was restless and felt it was better to take a walk. Somewhere where he would not have to hear Aoba's excitement. He wouldn't have minded using Mizuki as a stand-in but at the moment, it just wasn't right for him.
This was not unusual for him. He loved Aoba as much as Virus did and he wouldn't have had it any other way. Whether he used Mizuki for his own needs or on the days he wanted to get Aoba out of his mind, either way he looked at it, his body was not happy with this sort of thing at that time and this was why he decided to get out of the room.
He wasn't angry or jealous of Virus and would most certainly keep his lid shut on what he was personally feeling since this was the line drawn since long ago. Neither of them were to overstep a boundary while at the same time, sharing almost everything. It would be no surprise that they would want to share Aoba together. But as of late, Virus was being a bit greedy when it came to Sly coming to them. Naturally, Virus liked Sly quite a lot but he also did not mind having the regular Aoba around.
In a way for them, it was as though they had gotten a set of twins specially for them. Trip stopped walking around and looked out one of the large windows. The sun's final rays of light just barely reached their side of the town and continued to be blocked by most of the buildings that were taller than the warehouse.
Despite the somewhat well-lit areas nearby, the sky had already begun showing signs of night with a few stars. "Fuwah!" The sudden sound caught him off guard as he did not hear any footsteps until the sound of something falling reached his ears.
Aoba was naked and looked to be bleeding from the corner of his mouth. Trip surveyed the situation but didn't make a move. Soon Welter joined the fuss and was starting to circle the man. "Sorry, sorry! He started having another headache again..." Virus, who was wearing just his pants, came out looking wobbly.
"You failed?" Trip asked him. It was not unheard of for Virus to give Aoba a bit of the drug even though it had already done what they were hoping it would do. They had originally used it to bring Sly Blue out as they had felt it had been all too long since they last spoke with him.
But because of the side effects of the drug, not only did it cause the man to have constant headaches, it made him a slight bit stronger than his usual rough house kicking that he was able to do. In short, it would in the end, make the man a monster if Sly was able to use the drug as some sort of power container.
"It is a bit sad to reveal my failure, but Aoba knew what it was. He seems to remember an awful lot. I should be happy but..." Virus and Trip both watched as Aoba struggled just to sit up. It was pitiful like watching a baby bird screaming for a mom that would never come back.
"Then...is it my turn so soon?" Trip asked and began walking over to Aoba.
Aoba looked to be battling with himself. One side of him was being forced out while the other half was fighting hard to keep it from happening. Regardless of who was winning the small fight, Trip would have him either way. Welter, who had been watching his master, took what his master said as confirmation to approach Aoba.
The lion stood closer to the man and with his jaws, tugged on Aoba's hair like it was nothing. This caused Aoba to shriek from the sudden pain. A simple tactic that was usually done when Aoba was in Trip's care. Trip then used this ruckus to lift Aoba off of the floor.
"Not like I said that I was done but...oh well. I'll just try again next time. I'll leave Aoba-san to you then." Although Virus smiled at him, Trip could sense something was a bit off but he didn't press it and began to walk back with Aoba in his arms.
Welter started to follow but Virus told him to do the opposite and instructed that he was to watch Mizuki. Even though the lion seemed to be a bit disgruntled with the task, it followed Trip up to the point to where Mizuki's room was and went back to watching Mizuki along with Hersha.
From then on, neither the allmates nor Mizuki could hear anything that came from the room aside from the moaning that was coming from Aoba. Other than that, the room had returned to how it was when Virus first started with Aoba.
Virus on the other hand had made himself busy by checking on their computers to see if they had any urgent mail from their associates who were back on Midorijima Island. Just one new message that was an update for what was going on back at their main headquarters.
The scientists were getting antsy and seemed to be slowly getting more anxious and braver. But no word on how Aoba's grandmother was doing or if she had been trying to collaborate a plan with the others. Then again, the only useful thing the men under his care could do was to offer physical help in terms of keeping the scientists from running away and keeping them under careful watch.
The men were not entirely all there so they could not see through any odd things that might be out of place and that was why he and Trip would need to wrap this up quickly and go back. But the only thing stopping them was the new alliance they had with the G.D. Then there were the ladder of rules that both sides of the gangs had.
It would come off as rude and could end up being their death wish if they were to pick up everything and leave without telling the G.D members. They would see it as a sign of traitor-ism. Virus disliked the idea of bending to someone's will other than that of his own. He had hoped this would have been resolved at the start of this all when Aoba had first got away from them.
If the CR-5 had not interfered with their plan, they would have probably been able to extract Sly properly. But because Aoba had finally met with his friends again after all this time, it must have stirred something inside of him which was now leading the young man into splitting in two between Sly and himself.
It was something they wanted to happen but on their own turf back on the island where the scientists were needed. Their plan was to bring out Sly and make it so that 'Aoba' would technically cease to exist. But after some time of doing the research to start such a project, he and Trip realized that it would not be as easy as they had hoped and in the end, settled for trying to come up with a way to split their personalities into separate bodies.
He would have 'Aoba' while Trip was allowed to have 'Sly'. However, the drug they were using, backfired just a bit regarding Aoba's already able-bodied round-house kick and in the end had resulted in the man being able to make it out of their home off the island. Although he wasn't sure if it was because of Sly or if Aoba was just more resourceful than he thought, either way, the time was becoming more crucial to start their project up again and to test whether it was doable.
'They say slow and steady wins any race...I wonder if this would apply to our goals?' Virus thought to himself and sent a new set of orders to the men back on the island.
Once that was done, Virus pulled up the coil screen and looked through the contact list available. He had agreed to Honus, the man who had come to greet them along with Bakshi but he wasn't sure if this man would be able to come through for them should they need something else and they would need all the pawns they could get for their goal.
He called the man but was greeted by one of his underlings. When Virus explained his business with the man, he passed the phone to Honus who had been eating dinner at the time. Virus expressed his gratitude toward the man by both apologizing for interrupting his meal and by saying a word of "thanks" in regards to allowing them to have a secret warehouse that would be perfect for them compared to the one they were at now.
Once Virus settled things, he hung up from his coil and went off to find himself a shirt and coat. He would allow Trip to have Aoba for the night while he went off to meet with Honus about the deal on the warehouse. Because this was the mafia, it had to be written statement that both parties agreed on something.
Having Trip there would have caused the man into thinking that he did not trust him and that was not what he would have wanted. So with his goal set in stone, he prepared a few things to offer the man as a bit of a 'thank-you' gesture and somewhat of a bribe. It would be a deal the other man could not refuse and in the end would mean nothing for him should something bad come out from loaning a random and boorish-looking warehouse to a couple of out-of-townees.
In a sense, the man would not lose anything from a deal like this so it made perfect sense that the deal would set off without any problems. Virus fixed up his pants after putting on an unbuttoned shit and a suit jacket. After he fixed the buttons, he left the warehouse with a suitcase full of the 'bribes' and drove down the street in their custom-made vehicle.
A/N: Yeah, poor Mizuki having to deal with two allmates. Although Mizuki seems to be used to talking with Trip, it's only because Trip was sent to watch him during the times that Virus and Aoba were together, other wise he wouldn't go anywhere near him.
So in a sense, two people being forced to be in a room together which is kind of funny since this is Trip we're talking about...
But on another note, Mizuki was a bit dumb enough to trust the Morphine guys but he isn't totally dumb to get on their bad side somehow since it would actually be worse if he wasn't with Virus and Trip as he would probably be sold off as some kind of slave and would probably never see Aoba again so he wouldn't want that so...best thing to do is keep your mouth shut sometimes.
Also, Aoba was able to get away because as it is, the drug they're using on him is a double edged sword.
It amplifies his abilities of fighting and makes him slightly stronger than a regular human's capabilities and because Sly is already genetically modified/created, it would make a lot of sense for him to get stronger than normal from some type of simple drug that would other wise be useless on a normal human being.
Hence why Aoba was able to get away from Virus at that time. Their first plan was to just have Sly but use Aoba's body as the container so that Sly would remain there forever and Aoba would never be able to come back but because he is the original body owner, Sly can't fully come out because of Aoba's existence if you will.
So now their main plan is to just have Aoba and Sly as separate beings.. Tune in for the next chapter which should be sometime end of next week!
