Note: There's a character in the monster manga known as "The Devil's Apprentice". There wasn't a named mentioned for this character. I've decided to give a nickname of Ricky. If it turns out he has a name please let me know in a review. The italic words are 'Ricky' speaking. The second part was inspired by a fanart found through google image and a part in the second or third episode of the series Animal Kingdom.
A Month Later
Roberto, Johan, and Ricky were at a bar for a few hours to celebrate the three getting a diploma or GED. They left when Ricky reached his limit; he was drunker than any sailor. He shouted and laughed loudly. That annoyed them and anyone they passed by. Ricky's attracted to both men and women, this wasn't a secrete from anyone who knew him.
Rickey noticed an Asian man at a bus stop, sitting on the bench. Johan also noticed the man on the bench and recognized him; it was Kenzo. Ricky stumbles over to him. Johan followed his friend.
"Hellooo Handsome~!." Kenzo turns to owner of the voice.
"Hello." The man in front of him was a young man, blond hair, blue eyes and a face flushed due to being drunk. He smelled like vodka.
"How do you do that thing with your mouth?"
"Pardon?" In a blink of an eye Ricky forcefully kisses Kenzo.
He pushes the young man off. "No. Lets stay like this a little longer."
Before he could attempt to kiss Kenzo again Johan grabs Ricky's shirt collar and pulls him away from his old teacher and neighbor. "Johan-?!" He punched Ricky in the face, making him fall to the ground, giving him a bloody nose, and knocking him out.
"I apologize for my friend's actions, Kenzo." Roberto sensed the vibe of anger and jealousy towards the drunken man from Johan. He knew Johan isn't interested in women but this was the first time he's seen him act violently because of another man. In the past Johan never showed his emotions to anyone. Seeing this was odd.
No one said a word. Roberto picked up the unconscious man and carried him on his own shoulder. "We'll be on our way now. Have a good evening." They walked away without another word.
Later on that night
Johan went his separate ways for the night, he remembered a time when he came in contact with Kenzo when he was drunk. He recalls it perfectly. It was on a calm night like this sometime after his confession.
The young man was heading home for the day when he saw a drunken Kenzo stumbling out of a black Uber car. Johan was close enough to run up to and catch him, preventing him from falling onto thr ground. The older man passed out in his arms after attempting to thank, greet, and apologize to him for being a "burden".
The uber driver drove off after he helped Johan finding the house key, opening and closing the door. Johan took Kenzo to his bedroom and placed him on his bed, laying him on his back. Johan sat next to him.
Johan's hand graces his cheek and forehead with a gentle touch as he took in the sight of Kenzo sleeping peacefully. "You're not a burden at all." Johan muttered. "Who would see a charming man like you as a "burden" Kenzo?" Despite what Kenzo told him his love for the older man can't be cured. He tried but it can't be done.
