Dangerous Love

Day Sixteen: Dream


Kasamatsu stared at the door in front of him.

His blood was ice and he was sure his heart stopped beating. He thought it must be a dream; a terrible, never-ending dream where everything gradually became worse as time passed. Kasamatsu thought he should just call it a living nightmare.

Luca shot him a look but Kasamatsu ignored it. The brunette approached a door and stood in front of it. The two could hear footsteps on the other side and it made Kasamatsu tense up. The raven head watched as Luca put his hand against the door, pushing it open when the door was unlocked from the inside. It opened to reveal a much older man who was standing in between two younger men, who Kasamatsu guessed were guards, or maybe they were his henchmen. The teen had no idea, nor did he care. He figured he was going to share the same fate as his father, either way.

The guards stepped out of the way so Luca and Kasamatsu could enter. The older man, the man Kasamatsu was meeting with, had salt and pepper hair slicked back. His skin was tan and marred with scars from various years in the underground world. His pale blue colored eyes were tired-looking but still held a look of danger in them. He had a frown on his face but when he noticed the smaller teen, he smiled.

Kasamatsu was positive the smile was meant to be friendly but it was everything but. It made a chill run down his spine and the blood in his veins boil. Anger flourished from the teenager's previous feelings of fear and anxiety and suddenly, he had to know.

The steel-blue eyed male asked, his voice trembling, "Did you have my father killed?"

A heavy silence filled the room. The atmosphere was heavy and thick, making it almost impossible for Kasamatsu to breath properly. The young man stared at the older man, his gaze never wavering as his fingers curled into tight fists. The mafia boss opened his mouth, giving his reply, "Yes, it was."

Kasamatsu's face burned as his knuckles turned white. Fury filled his veins and it made his heart pound in his chest. His mouth was dry which made it difficult to say anything, but he managed to ground out, "Why?"

The man only smiled. "The details are of no importance to you, Yukio-kun." His retort made Kasamatsu even angrier. "The only thing you need to worry about now is handing over that USB your father gave to you."

Kasamatsu faltered.

Inwardly, the teenager cursed. He knew he had his bag which had said drive in it with him in the bathroom but he did not know what happened to it. He realized that maybe the bastard already had it and could just be messing with him before he killed him, but something told Kasamatsu that he did not have it yet. His eyes flicked to Luca, wondering if he could have his bag.

Kasamatsu decided to play it cool. "I don't have it with me." He told the old man.

The man only chuckled, his two guards smirking. "I'm not in the mood for your games, kid. I know you have it on you."

Kasamatsu rolled his eyes. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Have you thought that it could still be with that guy I was with?" He pointed out, as much as it pained him to shift the attention to Aomine.

"I think not." The man replied. He wore a smirk on his sun-tanned face, continuing on. "You see, child, I believe it is in your best interest to hand over that drive."

"And why is that?" Kasamatsu demanded.

The older man ran a hand through his greying hair. "You see, I currently hold something very dear to you. Something you would definitely not want to lose."

The teen's heart fluttered but did not let his fear show through. "And what is that?" He asked, arms folded over his chest. Kasamatsu already lost his father, he did not know what else he could lose. Unless...

Kasamatsu bit his lip, refusing to show any other emotion other than anger. His blood was cold just from the thought and he could feel his fists shaking. The man's smirk turned into a grin. "I think you know what, Yukio-kun," The mafia boss shot back, watching the teen's eyes burn with fury.

Kasamatsu faltered.

"Don't you fucking touch them!" The steel-blue eyed man yelled, his arms falling to his sides. "Just leave my family alone, you bastard!" Kasamatsu took a step forward but he was halted by a hand gripping his arm. He turned to see Luca holding him back, eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. Kasamatsu scowled but took a step back.

"So," The boss interjected. "Now that you know what is at stake – I'll take the USB now." He held his hand out, as if waiting for Kasamatsu to obediently drop the device in his outstretched hand.

Kasamatsu lowered his head. 'Father wouldn't purposely put us all in danger, would he? At least, not without a good reason. Whatever is on that USB must be really important to this guy...' The noirette made up his mind. "I won't give it to you."

The mafioso narrowed his eyes at Kasamatsu but the teen did not waver. The man turned his glare onto Luca, pale blue eyes burning into the brunette. "Get it." He ordered.

The two men on either side of the boss grabbed Kasamatsu's arms, holding him back. Luca quickly disappeared into a different room and when he came back, he was holding Kasamatsu's treasured bag. The emerald eyed man ignored the look on Kasamatsu's face as he passed him, stopping in front of the mafioso. "Here," Luca said once he fished out the USB drive.

"No!" Kasamatsu yelled out as he wrenched himself from the two men. He was at Luca's side in a second, yelling, "You can't be fucking serious – whatever is on that USB must be- mmph!"

Luca grabbed the teenager and held him tight, slapping a hand over his mouth. The teen struggled against him but Luca managed to hold him down, "If that is going to be all, sir, then I'll take care of this one for you." The emerald eyed hitman offered with a dark smirk on his face. He could feel a burning glare directed at him from the struggling teenager in his arms.

The mafioso waved his hand and Luca had to drag Kasamatsu out the door with him.

The hitman made it as far as the end of the hallway before Kasamatsu mustered up the strength to break out of Luca's hold. The teenager drove his elbow into Luca's side, stumbling away. Luca ground his teeth together from the pain, "Yukio," He said through clenched teeth. "You need to listen-"

Kasamatsu did not give Luca the chance to finish as he balled his hand into a tight fist and swung at Luca's face. He managed to get Luca's jaw, causing the hitman to stumble back. "Shut up!" Kasamatsu screamed at him, his voice breaking.

The raven head was breathing hard. It was as if he just ran a marathon. His shoulder's heaved with every gasp of air he drew in. Kasamatsu's eyes watered, panic flooding through his veins. He shook his head hastily as he choked out words. "Why di- did you d- do that!?" Kasamatsu stuttered out as he struggled to talk and catch his breath at the same time.

Luca watched as Kasamatsu reached up to rub at his wet eyes. "Yukio, please – you have to listen to me, I-"

"No-" Kasamatsu cut him off, wheezing as he sucked in short breaths of air. "J- Just lea- leave me alone, I-..."

"Yukio!" Luca snapped, his expression of worry turning quickly into anger. His sudden outburst made the teen jump. The brunette grabbed Kasamatsu by his shoulders and steered him to the elevator. He swiped his key-card and hailed the elevator. While it rose to their floor, Luca used the time to turn back to the panicking teenager. "You need to calm down, Yukio. I think you're having a panic attack." Luca spoke calmly, hoping it would help the younger man.

The elevator arrived with a soft ding so the older man pulled the teen inside. He swiped the card once more and selected 'B' for the basement floor where the garage was located. Luca squeezed Kasamatsu's shoulders, his thoughts racing. "Just calm down; you need to calm yourself and take slow, deep breaths." Luca told him.

Despite giving Kasamatsu instructions, Luca realized that he had no idea how to handle this situation. He has never had a panic attack nor been around anyone else that has. He only hoped that the things he told Kasamatsu were all right.

The younger man did not seem to listen to a word he had said because he was sinking to his knees, hyperventilating. Luca swore under his breath, not sure of how he could help the younger man. He wracked his brain for something to say or do, but came up empty.

His mind raced as the elevator passed floor after floor. After a few more seconds, Luca finally thought of something. Something he had seen on television before. Although he was not sure if it really worked or not. For Kasamatsu's sake, though, Luca would try.

The brunette gave Kasamatsu's shoulders a small shake, whispering his name. "Yukio..." He called.

The hyperventilating teenager looked up with wet and red puffy eyes. Kasamatsu's lips parted in confusion and Luca used that moment to make his advance. The taller man leaned down and pressed his chapped lips against Kasamatsu's.

Kasamatsu's eyes widened as his mind instantly shut down. The chaos and whirlwind of numbing thoughts and worries all came to a standstill and eventually faded away due to the tingling sensation on his lips. He felt as if he were trapped in the eye of the storm or perhaps he was being poisoned, or maybe even having the life sucked out of him by the man before him.

Luca slowly pulled away, leaving Kasamatsu's lips feeling cold and naked suddenly. The brunette watched the teen slowly release a shaky breath before he collapsed onto Luca's chest. Luca blinked his emerald green orbs, surprised. "Huh..." He huffed out.

The hitman stared down at the younger man, who was now unconscious from what he assumed was all the stress. The elevator tinged and Luca noticed that they reached their floor. He picked the teen up as the doors opened and walked into the underground parking lot of the hotel. Luca spotted his car at the ready and started walking towards it, all while thinking, 'I've never kissed anyone and had them fall unconscious before...'


HOOOO SNAP. Luca kissed senpai before Aomine even got the chance to-!
