AN: So here's chapter 3 hope you enjoy. I hope this helps my lovely readers gain more understand off what's going on with these two. Anyway thanks for reading.
"Hey young man. Young man wake up this is the end if the line."
Daiki opened his eyes and glanced around. Squinting his eyes against the glow of the bright lights on the bus. Maybe it had all been a bad dream he couldn't even remember falling asleep. Yeah it had to be! Just a stupid nightmare! Daiki's heart began to pound as adrenalin pumped through his veins. Then he looked up at the bus driver who was staring at him with concern.
"Are you ok young man? You don't look so good?
Daiki turned his face to the window. It was dark outside and all the lights on the bus reflected his face perfectly in the window like a mirror. Daiki stared into his own blood shot eyes still wet from the tears he had shed in his sleep. Dried tears were on his face, and his head hurt from all the crying he had done. Daiki pulled his cell out of his pocket and saw that he had 25 missed calls 20 of which were from Taiga, 5 from his mother.
It was real. It had all happened. Taiga had traded him for Tetsuya. Daiki squeezed his cellphone in his had as his heart broke anew. Tears threatened again. He had to go home. He had to think. He had to find a way to make his heart move on.
"Young man do you need me to call someone for you?"
Daiki was so lost in his own world he had forgotten the presence of the bus driver.
"Uh...no...no...I can make it home. I'll be ok. I'm sorry." Daiki replied his voice scratchy.
"O-ok."
Daiki lifted himself out of the seat clutching his duffle bag in his arms and made his way off of the bus.
He had passed his parents house so he'd have to walk back, which was at least a thirty minute walk in the direction he'd just come. It was pretty late, and completely dark now. If Taiga had showed up at his parents house he'd be gone by now and looking for him elsewhere.
Daiki wished Taiga had never made him aware of his feeling for him. Daiki knew if this ever happened he'd be devastated. But this was worse then anything he'd ever imagined. It hurt so bad he couldn't believe that there was anything more painful then this. It physically hurt. The pain in his chest was unbearable. It was as if something had eaten his heart but somehow left him alive.
Daiki walked to his parents home. The sun had long set and a soft breeze blew rustling through his blue locks, but it did nothing to ease the pain he was wracked with.
Daiki walked in a daze his heart and mind somewhere else. He couldn't stop his thoughts from wandering back to all the time he spent with Taiga and wondering when Taiga's heart had turned to Tetsuya.
What was he gonna do? How could he go to school and see him without being with him? He already missed his touch. The way their bodies felt connected. His sent as he made love to him. He'd never felt so whole as when he was with Taiga. Now it was gone, just as he'd thought it was never meant to last long.
Daiki gripped his jacket over his heart and grimaced as the pain in his chest intensified. He had to get a hold if himself. He was almost to his parents house and not only did they not know he'd had a fight with Taiga. They had no idea that they were more than friends, lovers in fact...well they used to be.
When the bluenette finally reached his parents home, he took a bit of time to wipe his face and steel his nerves so he could avoid being questioned too much. He knew there were some questions he'd never be able to avoid. By this time Taiga had surely called them and come to the house looking for him. Daiki almost lost it thinking of Taiga searching for him.
"I won't fall apart I can survive without him." Daiki whispered to himself.
He knew those words weren't true but he was hoping one day they would be. He knew he'd never really be over Taiga but he hoped he'd be able to cope in some way.
He pulled his keys from his pocket and pushed them in the lock. Twisting the knob letting himself in. The lights were still on in the living room and the kitchen so he knew his parents were up. He still tried to walk quietly to his room without be questioned though he knew it would be futile.
"Daiki is that you?"
Daiki backed up and turned his head to his father who was sitting in his favorite chair in the living room reading through his paper work.
"Uh yeah Dad it's me." He replied
"Long time no see son. How ya been? How's practice going?"
"Oh..uh it's good we're doing really um good this season."
"That's good. You came home to have dinner with your Mother and I?" His father replied looking up at him over his glasses.
"Ha uh yeah."
"You know your friend Taiga called a couple of times looking for you. He said you weren't answering your phone. He even came by."
Daiki's heart began to pound and he looked down at his feet, gripping his duffle bag tighter.
"Oh uh yeah well I had my phone on silent so I didn't hear it go off." Daiki said giving a weak smile.
"We figured it was something like that when your Mother called 5 times and got no answer." His father said eyeing him speculatively.
"You had better go wash up for dinner."
"Is that Daiki I hear!" His mother yelled from the kitchen.
"Yes dear!"
Daiki gripped his bag tighter and tried his best not to meet his Mother's eyes. Daiki's mother was beautiful. She had long blue hair that cascaded down her back in waves. Smooth tan skin and the same denim colored eyes he had. He looked exactly like his mother. She was just a woman and petite. Oh but she was a fireball and very tenacious. Daiki new he had gotten his looks and personality from his mother.
His height and body came from his father though. His father was a very handsome man 6'4" and built very well even for his age. He had black hair and wise black eyes that danced like shiny pieces of onyx. He was a very clam laid back man. Which was the exact opposite of Daiki and his Mother.
Daiki knew his father wouldn't force him to tell him what was wrong. Though that was because he knew his mother would get it out of him. She'd never let Daiki just go if something was wrong and Daiki knew she would be able to tell something was up. If she didn't already know.
"Hello son!" She said hugging Daiki.
"Hey Ma." He replied hugging her back.
She pulled back and looked at Daiki as he tried to pretend everything was alright. Daiki saw his mother glance at her husband and her husband look at her knowingly. He hadn't fooled them but he really didn't want to talk. It would take to much energy to bring them up to date. Besides what was he gonna say.
"Hey Mom, hey Dad. I just found my boyfriend making out with another guy and I feel as though my hearts been crushed in a vice! Oh yes. Yes I did say boyfriend. Who? Oh who is it? Well it's Taiga! What? Do we have sex? Why yes of course we do. That's why I stay at his house 24/7 so we can fuck each others brains out! What? What was that? You want this to stop? Oh well don't worry about it, he dumped me for a cuter, sweeter boy. So no need to panic. Good night!"
Daiki couldn't see that going well at all. So he opted to suffer in silence.
"Well Daiki you came home on a good day! I made your favorite! Homemade Teriyaki burgers!"
"Uh thanks Ma but I'm gonna pass I'm not that hungry." Daiki replied making his way to the stairs.
Daiki could feel the weight of his parents stares on his back as he climbed the stairs to his room. He just couldn't bare to tell them that he had been abandoned.
Daiki made it to his room and closed the door dropping his bag on the floor as he began to strip all of his clothes off and climb in bed. As soon as he his head hit the pillow tears streamed out of his eyes. He was powerless to stop them. No matter how hard he tried they just kept coming. He hasn't slept alone in months. His bed seemed so big, lonely and empty. He missed the way Taiga's body wrapped around his. Daiki grabbed his pillow and sobbed himself to sleep.
The next day Daiki woke up to his mother calling him for breakfast.
"Come and eat Daiki it's almost time for school!" She yelled.
"I don't feel well Ma! I think I'm gonna stay home!" He yelled back.
There was no reply, which was very strange. Daiki was surprised his mother didn't fight him on it she just let him be. Later in the afternoon she brought up some lunch, and tried to get him to eat it, but he just didn't have an appetite.
Daiki's phone went off multiple times through out the day but he couldn't bring himself to and answer the phone. He now had 65 missed calls and 20 voicemails from Taiga and he hadn't listened to a single one.
He couldn't understand why Taiga was trying to contact him. Did he want to rub it in? He'd even come to the house a couple of times. Which almost made him have a heart attack. Daiki knew Taiga wouldn't make a scene because his parents didn't know the nature of their relationship. After that he decided to really put his phone on silent.
Daiki slept through most of that day and then again the next day the same routine. Apparently his mother wasn't having it anymore.
"That's it Aomine Daiki! You are gonna tell me what's going on! Now!" The tiny woman growled.
"I don't wanna talk about it Ma." Daiki replied.
"Daiki look at me! Look at me!"
Daiki turned around and looked at his mother. She had her hands on her hips and she was glaring at him. He knew he was gonna have to tell her something or she might kill him.
His mother was perfect. If Daiki was cute and petite like her maybe Taiga would still want him. That thought did nothing but make the hollow where his heart used to be ache. So he tried to purge it from his mind. Daiki sighed as he turned to look out his window again.
"Taiga and I got in a fight."
"Duh! I know that much! What happened did he lie to you? Did he cheat on you?"
Daiki's heart slammed into his chest. He didn't know if his mom was joking or serious. So he tried to play it cool.
"What?! What are you talking about Ma?"
"Oh Daiki come off it! I know Taiga's your boyfriend! No one spends that much time with their best friend with no girls involved. Or gets this upset when they have a fight!" She scoffed.
Daiki turned to face his mother with tears in his eyes.
"Mama?! How did you know? Why didn't you say anything?"
"We wanted you to tell us in your own time."
"We?! Us?! Dad knows too?!"
"I'd never hide something like this from your father!" She screeched.
Daiki didn't know if he should be embarrassed, mad, or relieved! He could actually talk to his parents about everything.
He told his mother everything that happened and he sat and watched as she absorbed the information and contemplated. Her beautiful features were scrunched up in thought.
"So he was acting strange before this incident?"
"Yeah. Like he wanted to tell me something." Daiki replied.
"Hmmmm. Had he been cold to you? Or stopped telling you he loved you?"
"Well...no...he'd said he loved me that day. He even kissed me before and after he kissed Tetsuya."
Daiki felt his heart clench as those words passed his lips.
"Did you SEE him kiss this Tetsuya Daiki?"
"YES MA! I watched it!"
"So you saw Taiga's lips pressed against Tetsuya's?"
"Ye- wait...well...no." Daiki replied thinking.
In fact he hadn't seen that. Taiga was standing in the way. All he could see was that Taiga leaned down into Tetsuya's face so it had to have been a kiss!
"After it happened did you talk to Taiga about it? Try and see what was going on?"
"Well...no. I was too upset I just ran away. I didn't want to hear him say that he wanted to be with Tetsuya now. He's cute and tiny and agreeable not like me.
"Ahhh... Maybe this is not how Taiga feels about you but how you feel about yourself Daiki."
"What?! No Ma that's not it!"
"Ok, but whatever the case you're gonna have to face him, and you can't hide here forever. I've met Taiga and I watched him watch you. He looks at you the way I look at your father, and the way your father looks at me. I don't believe it's as you think son."
"Ma! You're wrong! I wish it was all just a big misunderstanding, but I don't think it is." Daiki whispered.
"Hey! What did I tell you about me being wrong?!"
Daiki turned to his mother and smiled a bit.
"You are never wrong, and even when you're wrong you're still right." Daiki said rolling his eyes.
"That's right! Now don't you forget it! You're going to school tomorrow son. So be prepared to face Taiga no matter what the outcome. You need to get all the facts, before you decide to let it all go. Besides I know you still love him."
Daiki couldn't stop the tears. He did love that idiot so much, but he couldn't be with someone who cheated on him. That doubt and worry would eat him alive. That's no way to live.
