Chapter 9
Nowaki woke up in a dark place; before he could even think about where he could possibly be, he was punched in the face. Nowaki looked up to see the one who punched him in the face was Hiroki. Nowaki had a few tears of confusion from in his eyes
"H-Hiro-San?" Nowaki asked confused, hurt and betrayed wondering why Hiroki would punch him in the face as hard as he did. Hiroki glared and growled at the younger man
"Shut up, don't call me that" Hiroki said in an evil hateful tone that mad Nowaki freeze. He had heard the same tone with many people before; the same one that was used by people who hated him to death.
"Hiro-San wh-what—?" Nowaki asked getting pinched again
"Shut up! I should've listened to that one girl" he said and Nowaki looked at him with slight fear as he felt like he knew what Hiroki had meant. Did Hiyake say something that Hiroki believed? Before Nowaki could say or ask anything, more people appeared with cold eyes, including Hiyake and Uzumaki. The darkness lit up and Nowaki noticed that he was in a building. Nowaki nervously looked around and saw Hiyake smirk evilly and glared
"What did you do Hiyake?" Nowaki asked in an angry tone; she had to have something to do with Hiroki and now Uzumaki hating him, but what did she say? What did she say to make Hiroki… to make him… hate him like the rest? Nowaki tried to walk forward but was yanked back and saw that his wrist was chained to a pole. Nowaki looked nervously at Hiyake after trying to pull his wrist free and failed. Hiyake was chuckling and smiling evilly
"I did nothing Nowaki; nothing but giving you a drug that made you show your true colors" Hiyake said with an evil grin and Nowaki had wide eyes as he saw that Hiyake was right… and now Hiroki knows what he was and hated him for it.
"H-Hiro-San… I-I can explain" Nowaki said trying to get the other to listen, but Hiroki growled in anger and glared at him.
"What's there to explain? You lied to me and—" Hiroki started before Nowaki interrupted him
"I-I was afraid that you would hate me" Nowaki said sadly and had tears form when Hiroki's glare turned harsher
"You were right. I would hate a monster like you" Hiroki said and Nowaki fell to his knees as he felt like his heart and soul was ripped to shreds. He heard that from many people… but having the one he loves say it killed him inside. Nowaki looked up to Hiroki's hateful angry eyes with devastated teary eyes.
"H-Hiro-San… I love you" Nowaki said not knowing why he was saying it now. Was it to make Hiroki see that it doesn't matter what the person is if their personality is good?
"Well I hate you!" he said and Nowaki had tears fall and looked up and had wide fearful eyes at what he was seeing. Everyone but Hiroki and Hiyake were dousing the carpet in gasoline.
"H-Hiro-San…?" Nowaki asked sadly and fearful and Hiroki turned his back to Nowaki and lit a match
"Let's get out of here" Hiroki said and as everyone left he flicked the lit match on the floor starting up some flames. Ignoring the fearful pleas, for Hiroki to help him, by Nowaki, Hiroki left. Nowaki had wide fearful eyes as he watched the fire grew and so did the heat. Nowaki tried to pull his arm free from the handcuffs and looked to the window and saw Hiroki watching him with cold eyes. Nowaki slumped forward, no more energy or will to escape the fire and heat. The flames were starting to go up Nowaki's legs
Nowaki
What? Who would be calling him? The flames fully engulfed Nowaki's body and was in pain
Nowaki!
Why did the voice sound like Hiroki? I-It couldn't be… Why does the flames hurt but now so cold?
"Nowaki wake up!"
Nowaki shot up from the bed gasping and noticed that Hiroki was yelling at him to wake up. Nowaki had tears fall from his eyes as he realized it was a dream and obliviously he was thrashing around and it woke up Hiroki
"S-sorry Hiro-San" Nowaki said sadly trying not to sob and Hiroki looked at him in concern. Hiroki pulled him close making Nowaki flinch slightly and then relax
"N-Nowaki? What's wrong?" Hiroki asked concerned and Nowaki looked up to him, tears still falling
"I-I had a bad dream, no, nightmare" Nowaki said letting out a shaky sigh on Hiroki's neck.
"Nowaki" Hiroki said softly, starting to rub Nowaki's arms gently, "It was just a dream"
"B-but… it felt so real" Nowaki said now starting to shake. The fire felt real, the pain he had felt real, even the atmosphere felt real.
"Talking about it would make it feel better" Hiroki said knowing from when he had bad dreams and he kept them bottled in for a long time and he had more of those types of dreams.
"…I…I dreamt that you… believed something that Hiyake said about me… a-and you hated me s-so m-much that... th-that you started a fire... in the house left… l-left me to… die" Nowaki said whispering out the last word. Nowaki successfully stayed away from the part of what he was and looked up to Hiroki with a dad look and Hiroki looked stunned
"…I would never believe her over you Nowaki… and I would most definitely not hurt you. You need to stop having dreams like that. I love you" Hiroki said and Nowaki let out a sigh and cuddled to Hiroki
"I-I know… I-I just have this constant fear that you're going to hate me like the rest" Nowaki said
"Nowaki, why would I hate you?" Hiroki asked and Nowaki sighed
"…I don't know… you were the first person to like me… and Miyagi-San too, but you're the most important to me. I fear that you'll hate me… because I love you so much" Nowaki said and Hiroki sighed
"I love you too, I don't think there is anything you could say or do to make me hate you" Hiroki said blushing slightly and Nowaki chuckled and kissed him
"You're cute Hiro-San" Nowaki said slowly falling into a deep sleep from exhaustion. Hiroki sighed and followed Nowaki into the dream world hoping the man doesn't have any more of those nightmares.
The next day, when Hiroki was about to leave for work he looked to Nowaki
"Hey Nowaki, I'm going to be a little late coming home tonight, I have a meeting until 5pm, so I'll be here around 5:30pm. I'll call if anything happens" Hiroki said and Nowaki nodded
"Alright Hiro-San, see you later" Nowaki said gave Hiroki a small kiss. Blushing, Hiroki made the excuse of 'I-I'm going to be late' and left quickly making Nowaki chuckle
"He's too cute… I hope Hiyake wouldn't do anything…"
The day passed and Nowaki grew more concerned. It was now 6pm and he had not received a call from Hiroki. Nowaki began to worry as Hiroki never would forget to call. Nowaki bit his lip and called Miyagi
"Miyagi-San?"
'Nowaki-San?' the professor asked in shock as Nowaki would never call unless something happened
"Hey, I was wondering is Hiro-San there?"
'No, the meeting ended at 5pm, he said that he was going back home… is he not there?'
Nowaki had wide eyes and almost dropped the phone
'Nowaki-San, you there?'
"Ah… yes sorry, I have to go" Nowaki said hanging up running out of the house and literally ran into Uzumaki
"Oh, shit Nowaki look where you're going!" Uzumaki said and Nowaki looked shocked
"Uzumaki… did Hiyake?
"Yes, I was coming over here to tell you before you ran into me" he said rubbing her head and Nowaki apologized
"Where is she?"
"The big empty lot where that one warehouse was" she said and was about to leave "I have to go, dad needs me" she said leaving and Nowaki sighed and was running towards where Uzumaki told him to. When Nowaki got into viewing distance, he saw 6 men standing ten feet from Hiroki, surrounding him in a circle and Hiyake smirking. Nowaki bit his lip as he saw the men aim guns at Hiroki. Knowing he wouldn't make it and saw a motorcycle and took it, knowing nothing on how to driving the two wheeled automobile. Upon hearing the motorcycle's engine everyone looked up. Getting closer, Nowaki jumped off the motorcycle; it going off and gently crashing into a wall.
"Erif! (Fire!)" Hiyake said and Nowaki, without a second thought, ran to Hiroki and pulled him to his chest. Hiroki was about to say for Nowaki to go away and not get hurt, but then his mind and mouth fell silent as he saw two huge black things cover his chest. When the gunshots didn't happen Nowaki looked up and saw the six men disappear like an illusion and heard Hiyake chuckle
"Ahc tog(Got cha)" she said with an evil grin "Niaga egaugnal nwo ym ni klat ot doog os sleef ti(It feels so good to talk in my own language again)" Nowaki felt his heart skip a beat as he backed away from Hiroki and saw the wide shocked eyes of his lover. Nowaki had a sad look in his eyes before walking over to Hiyake. He knew she did this with an illusion just to make him show what he was
"Yhw? (Why?)" Nowaki asked speaking in his original language and Hiyake couldn't help but smirk
"Tahw yhw?(Why what?)" she asked and Nowaki looked to her with tears and a hateful look
"Efil ruoy ni ecno tsael ta em rof yppah eb uoy t'ndluoc yhw?(Why couldn't you be happy for me at least once in your life?)" Nowaki asked as he knew that Hiroki would hate him now. Hiroki was staring on in shock as the two were talking in a language he didn't know. He was in the literature department and he doesn't know this language, and he knows why; the black things protecting him before was in fact wings; Nowaki's wings. The same wings that Hiyake apparently has but the only thing that ran through Hiroki's shocked mind was the fact that Nowaki was a demon.
TBC
The language is demon language that I created XD
