Chapter 31 - Gracious Timing

When Aoba finally awoke from his nap, he realized that there was something scratching at the door. The bedroom door had been locked on his side but because he was the only one in the room at the moment could only mean that it was Welter on the other side. If it had been either of the twins, they would have had the door opened by now.

His fear of the animals had lessened since he had been there but that was only because his other half kept coming out without his approval and seemed unafraid of his fears. Although he would not have minded the man's bravery of the animals, he would have liked it if the man did not do anything and everything that he wanted.

Not long after Aoba's awakening, the lion was now growling as though calling for his master. He gripped the blanket that covered his naked body, turned it over so that it was partially off of him and gave him enough leg room to get off the bed.

The lion stopped as if he could sense his movements from the other side and seemed as though it were waiting for him to get to the door. Aoba meekly got off the bed and reached the door, still feeling weak in the legs. He was past the point of feeling embarrassed and at the moment could only feel his constant fear of Welter.

He unlocked the door and turned the knob. Upon opening the door, the lion barged past him and went straight for the bed, nearly knocking Aoba over as he did so. The lion seemed rather pleased with itself while Aoba was left to see the reason why the animal was so happy. Trip was escorted by Welter.

"So you were up, Aoba?" Trip asked excitedly. He looked Aoba up and down before explaining why he was there.

"Virus wanted to know if you were hungry..." Although Trip acted like it was an important detail, his eyes were telling Aoba all that he needed to know of what was actually on his mind.

Aoba closed the door over so that Trip couldn't see him. "O-Okay! Let me get dressed first..." Aoba was about to turn away from the door when Trip pushed it open with one hand.

"No. Virus said you would look cuter with your birthday suit." He grabbed hold of Aoba's wrist and was obviously insisting that he went as he was. Wearing nothing but his skin.

But Aoba would do anything else aside from such a thing and resisted by stopping the man from pulling him into the hall. "B-But...isn't that going to ruin your meal?" Aoba asked while his face had turned a bright red.

He was just trying to say anything to get out of having to do this. But Trip merely sighed happily and forcefully pulled Aoba out of the room. Aoba was apparently not the only one invited to dinner as upon entering the barren room of the warehouse, he could see a brown wooden table set up elegantly with a few plates of food along with glasses of water and wine.

And while he was adjusting to the rich-like atmosphere, Mizuki had been sitting at the table on one side of the table while Virus sat at the end of it leaving the empty chair for Trip. It was cold and was no doubt going to get colder during the rest of the night.

It was one thing to be out in the cold but it was something else to not be wearing anything while being in an already cold room. Trip let go of his hand and waited until Aoba weakly stepped over to the table and sat down across from Mizuki.

He had not looked at his friend since he was dragged there and was not planning to either. Having found himself the way he did in Mizuki's room, he couldn't face him tonight. Especially not in his birthday suit. Trip finally took his place at the other end.

"Now that our final piece is with us...I propose a toast! A toast in Aoba-san's honor. We're grateful to have you with us at last." Virus expressed his gratitude by raising a wine glass in the air and then drank it half-way.

Aoba pushed his hair back so that at the very least he would not get his hair dirty from anything that might drop from his plate or eating utensils. He was not a slob to eating but in the condition he was in, he felt his arms were a lot weaker than they should have been.

He could feel everyone staring at him as though they were all waiting on him to give the go-ahead. Once he picked up his fork, both Trip and Virus began to eat. Mizuki didn't look very hungry and sat there picking at the bits of veggies.

Although he did not want to eat, Aoba's stomach said otherwise and forced him to eat the food that was in front of him. He was not starved nor malnourished, but because of his recent activity, his stomach had obviously felt like it had been starved.

There was a large scoop of mashed potatoes along with peas, corn and some sliced steak pieces. He picked up a small portion of the potatoes and began eating. He did not want to eat it out of fear of them putting another pill of theirs into his food but at the moment, his stomach was hungry and growling.

The taste was sweet mixed with a bit of a peppery spice blended into it. He took another bite one after another, forgetting in whose company he was in. When he stopped eating to look up at the others, who surprisingly had not eaten yet and seemed more interested in watching him.

"Should I take that as a compliment then?" Virus asked. Trip was the second one to dig into the food but did not change his deep-in-thought expression.

Virus then began eating the food as well and had to urge Mizuki to eat. Feeling somewhat stuffed from gulping down more food than he chewed, Aoba had to stop to allow his stomach a chance to get used to eating the warm food.

Because the food was beginning to remind him of home, he had to check himself before taking another bite. He didn't want the two men to think that something was wrong and if they had put a pill in the food, it would put them on alert.

He could feel his body begin to warm up from the last bit of potatoes and only just realized that he had finished the potatoes before anything else. Because he had eaten it so fast, he started to feel a slight bit of nausea.

Despite the windows not being open, there was a bit of a cold temperature within the area of the main entrance and unfortunately had to arrive as he was sitting with nothing on. Mizuki seemed to have barely noticed it and only because he got to wear something. An idea came to him.

If the twins would not allow him to wear anything while they ate, it made the more sense into forcing them to clothe him. He had after all, been on his best behavior and saw no reason why they wouldn't at least give him a blanket of some sort.

Aoba forced his body to think of nothing but the cold air and made himself think of a scenario where he would be in an extremely cold lake or pool. His body shivered. Small but still noticeable. To add on the act, he gave a fake sneeze and pretended to wipe his nose with the back of his finger.

"Oh my. I guess the party is over..." Virus chuckled and stood up from the table and left swiftly for the bedroom.

Aoba pretended not to hear him as he had to make his act look even more convincing. He knew that if he looked too hopeful, they would definitely suspect something. He poked his fork into a corner of the steak and tried to pry it apart without a knife.

Mizuki could only sit and stare and while he could tell that only Mizuki had been watching him, he paid no mind to it and tried to be as oblivious as he could since the twins did not like the other man getting any sort of attention especially from their 'main toy'.

Although half of the shivering was an act, his body was still pretty much cold because of the nonexistent clothing. To remedy this, Aoba ate the piece of the steak that he had pried off with his fork. He could feel the warmth of the food falling to the pit of his stomach.

His stomach growled as though to give him a response to the food. He waited another minute before eating another piece, trying his best to keep up the frail act. Soon enough, Virus returned to the table and had brought with him a proper blanket that had not been on the beds and seemed to have not been used yet.

"You're in luck, Aoba-san!" He spoke out in a cheerful mood.

Aoba smiled meekly as the other man covered his shoulders with the blanket. Virus returned to his seat and began finishing his meal. Mizuki on the other hand was still processing Aoba's condition and was obviously wondering if his friend really was sick.

He had to ignore Mizuki for the time being and continued eating the rest of the steak remembering to make certain expressions while doing so as though the steak was the only thing warming him up. His only goal was to get to the bedroom quicker rather than eating his way through.

If he had eaten the meal too fast, they would have definitely made him stay longer than he would have liked. At least if he did it this way, they would really think he was coming down with something and only hoped they wouldn't be as smart to check his forehead.

Aoba rubbed his eyes with one hand while still holding his fork with the other making it seem like he was growing tired. But Trip did not seem as convinced as Virus was and had not been paying much attention to the scene. Mizuki on the other hand would not stop watching him and remained silent but judged the scene as suspicious.

He disliked having to do what he was about to do but it had to be done. Aoba shot a glare in his direction and tried to act like his other half would. He stopped eating the steak and leaned back in his chair. He figured it was something his other self would do.

Aoba continued to stare back at Mizuki almost as if he were accusing him with just a look. Only Virus reacted to the sudden motion. "Hm?" Virus looked from Aoba to Mizuki and then to Trip.

The man let out a sigh and then asked Aoba the question that had probably been on all of their minds by now. "Is something the matter?"

Mizuki suddenly looked down at his still full plate of food. "I'm tired of him looking at me." Aoba explained and tried his best to sound just like his other half.

"Come now...that's no way to speak to an old friend." Virus chuckled despite trying to sound so sincere. He was loving the attitude and was obviously being fooled by the act. Trip too had suddenly taken an interest in the commotion.

His attention of course was focused more on him than it was on Mizuki. He was ready to press onto the final act and tried to make it look convincing. Aoba got up from the table with his plate of food in his hands and the blanket slowly slipping off his shoulders.

The blanket fell onto the chair and exposed his skin to the chill of the air once again. He left the table and went toward the rooms while still carrying the plate of food. He ignored Virus as the man had also gotten up from the table and was now chasing after him.

Aoba entered his own room and sat in a huff onto the bed while getting an odd look from Welter. The lion had left the bed to lie down on the floor instead. Still butt naked, Aoba dug his fork into the steak again and ate another piece of it while Virus tried to reason with him.

"Ah, Aoba-san...you should have said something about it sooner." Aoba continued to fire daggers with his eyes as he ate.

Virus walked past Welter and sat behind Aoba, wrapping his arms around him. Aoba didn't say anything and instead put his fork down as though to show he were thinking it over. He bit his bottom lip at his next step of the plan. He had hoped that he would be able to go to bed without having to do anything weird with the twins tonight but it was not going the way he wanted.

If he was going to get out of this, he was going to have to act like Desire. Aoba forced himself to get aroused and used some of the excess juice as a lubricant. He smothered his hands with it and surprised Virus when he started rubbing his shaft up and down.

"Aoba...san?" Virus, as expected, was fixated on the sudden act and was watching his hands with interest.

Aoba had to lean back against Virus to support his actions as he continued with just one hand and spread his legs farther apart from each other. It was getting easier as the seconds ticked by but the fact that it was Virus that was with him and not Noiz, he was having some trouble with getting totally aroused.

But from the looks of Virus's face, it did not seem like he needed to do any more and without warning, Aoba turned his body around quickly and held onto Virus with his messy fingers. Aoba leaned in closer to Virus's ear and whispered, "Do me..." To urge the man quicker, he licked the man's earlobe.

Virus wasted no time in unzipping his pants and undoing his belt. He pulled away from Aoba for a split second to look at Welter. "Sorry, Welter but...can you let Trip know we'll be a little busy?" Virus asked with an apologetic face.

The lion growled but got up from his spot and left the room, leaving the two in peace. Now that Welter had left, Virus had a sudden switch flipped on that caused his movements to become like that of a snake. He stuck the plate of food on the end table next to the bed.

Still clinging to Virus's back with his hands, Aoba was guided by Virus, laying his body against the soft mattress. To seal the deal of his newly hatched plan, Aoba ran his fingers through the back of Virus's hair.

The man seemed eager enough and did not waste time in loosening Aoba up and instead of entering a finger or two between his buttocks, he entered him without preparing. To Aoba it was like it was his first time all over again. He cried out and clung to Virus as though the man was his only hope of surviving.

Aoba did what he thought Desire would do and sunk his teeth into Virus's neck gently and playfully. He could taste sweat and caught a whiff of the cologne that he was wearing. Virus did not stop after starting and kept going back and forth.

The plan was slightly successful. Rather than getting clothing put on him however, he had to have Virus enter him for warmth. Aoba felt ashamed of himself and couldn't think of anything else but the depressed look that Mizuki had when he left the table.

"Aoba...I love you so much...ng!" Virus shuddered as he released himself into Aoba like he had done so many times before.

Aoba dazedly looked past Virus and at the ceiling, breathing heavily. This was most likely the fastest time they had ever done it and for that, he was happy cause in the end, he got his warmth and had gotten away to sleep earlier.

A new day brought him a peaceful night as a new day meant he had bought at least a bit of time for himself from being torn in two. Aoba felt something wiping his front area and could only assume it was a wet cloth to wipe his own semen off.

Although he had not meant to reply to Virus or to anything at all, he unconsciously said the same words back without meaning to. "...love you...too." But because his body was exhausted from the sudden exercise, he fell asleep before he could take it back.

Virus brushed the bangs away from Aoba's face and felt the younger man's cheek with his hand. His body temperature was a lot better than it looked. He straightened his shirt up and fixed his tie and soon after, left the room with the plate of food.

Upon entering the main entrance of the warehouse, he saw that Mizuki had not eaten anything even after he had left and noticed that Trip was sitting with the allmates, clearly sulking like a child. He cleared his throat to get both of the men's attention.

"Sorry for my lateness. I think we should all head to bed. Uh, Trip? A word if you don't mind." He smiled as the man got up from the floor.

Mizuki left the two men to their conversation while he himself, went back to his own room. Once he was out of earshot from them, Virus explained what had just taken place.

He was not confused by it but rather intrigued as to whether it could be the medication taking effect on the body or if this was something else entirely. "I was only in there for a few seconds, wrapped my arms around him and he was the one to initiate it without me having to say anything."

Trip let out a sigh. "You don't have to brag. He did that with Mizuki too. Welter told me." Virus looked down as though he had been defeated by something.

"That's not the point. The main problem is if this might have an effect on both the bodies. Will their mind be properly split apart or will they both have almost more or less have the same brain function?"

Trip shrugged. "The only way to find out is to ask all of those nice scientists back on the island." He said and walked over to one of the computers and started it up.

"Hmph...true. We could always ask the woman who helped start it all." Virus felt a slightly bit better as Trip began getting in contact with their cronies back on the island.

If there was a problem with their experiment, they would simply ask for guidance on the matter from Aoba's grandmother/guardian. She was apart of it and should know the most out of the pills and what effects that the regular pills had.

They came face-to-face with Tae Seragaki.


A/N: OK, so this tale is almost finished despite it sounding as though it isn't going anywhere but trust me it is probably seven or eight more chapters and then it's complete so thanks to those who actually made it this far.

Sorry for not updating in a while, we had sudden snowfall past few days, and then before that constant updates to all my games well most of them and also was getting new ideas for the best finish possible.

Cause it is one thing to be able to cause a memory loss like how Virus and Trip did with Aoba but for some reason don't have all the facts when it comes to Aoba's true personality like is Desire actually Aoba or is Aoba really Desire?

Meaning despite Desire being inside Aoba (which Sei says is apart of him), Desire really does only represent what Aoba would have wanted. Now Virus is only freaking out because although he is in love with Aoba, he can't stand Desire's odd attitude towards him. He doesn't mind the violence that comes with Aoba but he has also grown attached to the more docile side of him so it's more like a half-half kind of thing.

As far as Trip goes, I don't think he minds either way so long as Aoba is able to talk and walk. BTW, poor Mizuki.

Ok see you next time!
