Dangerous Love
Day Twelve: Wish
The next day, Aomine was still on high alert due to the events which occurred the previous day. Although he somehow convinced Kasamatsu that the man who had it out for him did not want anything to do with the teenager, Kasamatsu was still on edge. The pair stayed in and ended up watching some old, low-budget horror film that was playing on T.V. It was more hilarious than scary, enticing the two to make fun of the film.
After the movie ended, Kasamatsu got up from his spot on the bed and decided to make some food. While he busied himself in the kitchen, Aomine went back to his post at the table, watching the feed from the camera's.
Once the food was made, the two fell into their routine of eating together. When they were done, Aomine went back to the laptop while Kasamatsu cleaned up. After a couple hours however, Aomine decided to go to sleep. He took some medication for the pain in his arm and seemingly as soon as his head hit the pillow, he was out.
Kasamatsu stared at the tanned skinned man before he decided to entertain himself with the phone Aomine gave him. He checked the news in Japan, wondering if there was anything on his situation or even about his family. However, as much searching as he did, Kasamatsu could not find anything about it. The steel-blue eyed teen wondered if this was because of the people looking for him or even because of his father.
When the young adult had enough of skimming the news, he got up and made a beeline for the window. Kasamatsu moved the drapes just enough so he could peek out without revealing himself much, if at all. The teen could see a couple kids riding by on their bicycles. They were laughing and shouting at each other. It reminded him of his Yuuta and his friends.
Kasamatsu chewed his bottom lip. He turned away from the window and resisted the urge to sigh out of boredom for the umpteenth time. The raven head vaguely thought about going to sleep but then changed his mind. He did not want to wake up early, having nothing else to do but make food and find ways to entertain himself in this stuffy motel room. Not to mention, Kasamatsu did not want to have another haunting nightmare about people killing him and his family.
It almost made Kasamatsu hate his father for putting them all through this. He almost wished he had a different father. He also hated the fact that despite all the trouble his old man caused, he still loved him.
Kasamatsu shook his head, finding that he must be a terrible son for thinking such things about his own father. He took a deep breath in and released it slowly. The teenager sat back down on his bed and turned to look at Aomine who was peacefully slumbering the evening away. Kasamatsu studied the assassin for a moment before deciding to make himself a light snack.
He was beginning to feel hungry, despite the late lunch they had a few hours ago. As Kasamatsu stepped into the kitchenette, the teenager nearly tripped over his feet when he heard a light rapping on the door. Kasamatsu froze, his heart skipping a beat as a child ran through his body.
His mind flashed back to the man who had pretty much tackled Aomine through the door. Kasamatsu pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind, instead going over his options. He could either check who it was through the peephole on the door or he could wake Aomine, and-
Kasamatsu ground his teeth. He knew that Aomine was supposed to be his protector but that did not render the teenager completely useless. Kasamatsu drew in a breath to calm himself down and slowly padded to the door. He peered through the peephole and furrowed his eyebrows. Kasamatsu took a step back and went back to his options. He decided it was best to wake Aomine since he was not sure what to do.
The raven haired male walked over to Aomine's bed. He leaned over the man, poking his cheek. "Oi, Aomine," He said lightly. Aomine stirred. Kasamatsu continued, "Your friend is here."
The dark blue haired man rolled away from him, still tired from the drugs he took for his pain. "I don't have a friend..." Aomine slurred sleepily. He managed to pull the blanket over his head.
Kasamatsu sighed. "But it's the guy from the grocery store. Uhm... Kagami – or something?"
Aomine was quiet for a second until he spoke up, "Bakagami?" He questioned slowly.
"Yeah, er, no – that's rude." Kasamatsu scolded. "Anyway, just get up already! He's at the fucking door." The raven head lightly smacked the arm that was not injured. He was getting impatient and was beginning to feel bad for making the man wait.
"Okay," Aomine stressed. "Just give me a 'sec." He mumbled, pushing himself out of bed. He groaned lightly before making his way to the door, rubbing his sore arm. Aomine looked through the peephole just to be sure before he opened the door to reveal one Kagami Taiga.
"Oi, Bakagami," Aomine grumbled. "Don't you have better things to do then stalk me and my charge?"
"Shut up," The two-toned red head pushed past Aomine, walking into the room. Kagami spun on his heel as Aomine closed the door behind him. "Being the nice guy that he is, boss wanted me to give you a few things you may need."
Kagami handed Aomine a dark red duffle bag. The blue eyed man accepted it and stared at it before an annoyed look appeared on his face. "You can tell the boss that he can mind his own business. I can handle this job on my own."
The ruby eyed male nodded. He glanced at Kasamatsu who was perched on his bed, watching them cautiously. Kagami's expression changed into something almost unreadable for a brief second before he offered the teenager a friendly smile. He nodded in greeting which the raven head bowed his head politely in return. Kagami wet his lips before he spoke, facing Kasamatsu. "You look different with green eyes. I think I like your real eyes better." He stated.
Kasamatsu's hand shot to his face. He realized that he forgot he had his contacts in. Kasamatsu blinked his eyes, also unsure of how he should take Kagami's words. Said man was facing Aomine again. He leaned close to the tanned man, whispering to him, "There is some updated information about your mission you need to read."
Kasamatsu turned away. The teenager wondered if he should be worried about this apparent new information that Aomine received. Then again, Kasamatsu was sure that Aomine would probably not tell him directly, either way. The raven head sighed and rubbed at his eyes.
"See you later, Kasamatsu-kun." Hearing his name, Kasamatsu looked up to see Kagami waving at him. Before Kasamatsu could even say anything or even wave back, the red head disappeared out the door. He just watched Aomine peer out the door, as if making sure no one had seen Kagami leave from their room.
Aomine turned from the door and walked back to his bed. He dropped the duffle bag on it and muttered under his breath about not needing help. Kasamatsu tuned Aomine's muttering out and lay back on his own bed, staring up at the ceiling. The teen could not help but think about whatever this new information could be. It made him uneasy and feeling like something bad was going to happen.
Shit is about to get real for tomorrow's theme: Hope.
