Dangerous Love
Day Nineteen: Explode
Kasamatsu woke up to the sound of explosions and chaos.
He jolted upright and glanced around the room. The sounds were muddled at first but became clear when he was more awake. Kasamatsu realized that he was still safe in the room with Luca, so he fell back onto the bed, groaning. He draped his arm over his eyes, blocking out the light. "Why?" He croaked tiredly.
From the other side of the room, Luca chuckled softly. "Sorry, Yukio. I wanted to see what was on T.V and didn't know the volume was up so high..." He explained, the television now off.
"Sure..." Kasamatsu murmured.
The raven haired teenager pushed himself up and turned his head to check the clock. Kasamatsu resisted the urge to roll up into a cocoon of blankets and instead forced himself to get out of bed. He rubbed at his face tiredly and focused his attention on the hitman. He asked, "What time did you get up?"
Luca, who Kasamatsu realized was dressed in his fancy suit, shrugged. "Maybe around 4:00 in the morning?" He estimated.
"For what?" Kasamatsu scoffed. He glanced at the clock once again, staring at the red numbers that read 9:17. "Why were you gone for five hours?" The teen paused. "Or maybe I should ask you what you were doing for five hours?"
The Italian took a seat on Kasamatsu's bed. "Don't worry, Yukio. I wasn't about to leave without you. I realize your family is very important to you – your punch made that pretty clear."
"Hmph. Good," Kasamatsu grumbled out. "But I wasn't worried about that." He added. Kasamatsu kicked the covers off of him and got up, stretching. He tilted his head at Luca, "Dare I wonder what errands entail for a hitman?" He asked dryly.
Said hitman shook his head. "You don't want to know."
"Right." Kasamatsu nodded before heading into the bathroom. The teen did his business and walked out. He noticed that Luca was magically changed into his athletic clothes. The teen raised his eyebrow. "So, I'm guessing that is your way of saying you are ready to get your butt kicked by me?"
The look which Luca gave Kasamatsu made the teen think back to Aomine and his animalistic eyes. The steel-blue eyed teen erased the image from his thoughts and instead decided to turn his attention on how he was going to beat Luca in combat. Kasamatsu was eager to learn how to use a gun.
Luca brushed his chocolate hair from his eyes and motioned for Kasamatsu to step forward. "Just let me tell you something real quick," He said.
Kasamatsu furrowed his eyebrows but obeyed the older man, approaching him. The raven head stopped in front of Luca and was about to ask what he wanted to say but suddenly Kasamatsu was knocked off his feet and slammed onto his bed. He gasped and struggled as his hands were pinned. His face flushed, "What-"
"Never let your guard down. Ever." Luca whispered as he stared down at Kasamatsu.
The olive skinned man peered into Kasamatsu's steel-blue orbs. His gaze flicked down the younger man's face, stopping on his parted lips. Luca faltered. He shook his head and got off of Kasamatsu. He gave the noirette a smile. "Just don't forget that you could get jumped at any given moment – be sure to keep that at the back of your mind." Luca instructed.
Kasamatsu pushed himself up, nodding. "Yeah..." He mumbled. "You made that apparent. I wasn't expecting that at all." He admitted, still surprised.
Once Kasamatsu was on his feet and changed out of his pajamas, the two headed downstairs to eat breakfast. The food was good and the service was better. It was much better than what Kasamatsu went through before he was with Luca. Although he supposed he should not complain since Aomine was doing his best to keep him safe and out of sight.
When they finished eating, Luca lead them to a spacious gym which was filled with exercise equipment and the like. Kasamatsu was envious of all the equipment. They had better things than his elite school. The noirette turned to Luca, seeing him cracking his knuckles. It made Kasamatsu roll his eyes.
The teenager sat down and began stretching. "You know," He commented, "If this was basketball practice, I'd be telling you to go do your laps."
Luca smiled in amusement. He watched the younger man. "You said you were the captain, right?" He wondered.
Kasamatsu nodded. "I am," He paused, remembering that he had not been in school for a while. "Or, at least, I was..." The steel-blue eyed teenager suddenly realized how much he missed his friends. He lowered his gaze, staring at his runners. "I mean, I've probably been replaced by now."
The hitman stayed silent. "I think high school is difficult for everybody. But when I picture you in school, you give off this leadership-vibe and seem very responsible and respectable."
"I am," Kasamatsu huffed. "I was actually apart of the disciplinary committee." The raven head informed.
"Hmm." Luca hummed as he too began to stretch and warm up. "It's like you're the perfect person for this whole thing to happen to."
"Lucky me," Kasamatsu said dryly. He finished his stretches and stood back up, ready for his fight with Luca. "But then I guess I'd rather it be me than anyone else I know." Kasamatsu admitted quietly.
Luca smiled softly. "That's what I like about you."
"Let's just get on with the fight," Kasamatsu pressed, choosing to ignore Luca's previous statement.
"If you're so eager to get your ass handed to you, then fine." Luca's soft smile morphed into dangerous smirk. The older man raised his arms in defence and nodded for Kasamatsu to do the same.
When Kasamatsu was ready, Luca moved in swiftly. He swung his right arm which Kasamatsu dodged with ease. "Good," Luca commented, much like he did when he was teaching Kasamatsu. The young Italian swept his leg and managed to catch the raven head off guard.
Kasamatsu fell backwards. He used the momentum to roll back onto his feet, springing up and swinging at Luca. The steel-blue eyed teenager's punch was blocked with ease, making him angry.
Kasamatsu scowled. He continued his assault on Luca, keeping in mind to block as the hitman reminded him to do so many times before. The raven head moved fluidly in time with Luca as they both took punches, blocking each other. It was almost as if they were in some strange dance, the only thing missing was the music.
Their attempts to attack each other succeeded one moment and failed the next. With proper blocks and missed punches, the battle went on for what seemed like hours when it had only been a matter of minutes.
The younger man was not sure when it was going to end but he seemed to jinx himself – tripping over his own shoelace which came undone in their battle. Kasamatsu yelped and flailed, his arm smacking into Luca's chin. It caused the Italian to stumble back and in attempt to save himself, he ended up grabbing the teen's shirt.
The two crashed onto the mat and tumbled with the momentum. They landed in a heap of tangled limbs and pain. From underneath Luca, Kasamatsu let out a soft groan. He opened his eyes but immediately regretted doing so because a trickle of sweat dripped into his left eye. Kasamatsu hissed from the stinging pain. He reached up to wipe at his eye but it seemed to only make the pain worse.
Kasamatsu growled in frustration but faltered once Luca had grabbed his wrist, moving his arm. Kasamatsu stared at the older man with one eye screwed shut. "What?" He asked miserable.
Luca leaned down and licked Kasamatsu's left eye. He pulled away and studied the teen's eye. He smirked at Kasamatsu's obvious confused and flushed face. The hitman was about to explain his actions but was immediately interrupted by the door crashing open.
An out of breath man burst into the gym, a gun gripped tightly in his hand. He raised the weapon with his finger on the trigger. Luca moved fast and flipped Kasamatsu so the teen was behind him. The Italian was about to demand who sent the guy, but Kasamatsu was suddenly shoving him to the side, exclaiming loudly, "Aomine!?"
And so they are reunited! :D
