Chapter 5
It was still dark outside when Mukuro woke up again. He didn't know why but he was never able to sleep longer than for about four or five hours. Well there were certain circumstances he could, but normally he didn't need more sleep than that. It had always been like that. Probably because he never got much sleep since he was a child. Sometimes the children in his family had been woken up in the middle of the night so that they could go on with their experimenting and then there were the nights you just couldn't fall asleep, because the pain was too much to handle. Of course he never had to sleep with pain again after killing all these people, except for the time he had spent in Vendicare, but still it seemed like his body had gotten used so much to it, he just couldn't change it straight away.
Gently and silently Mukuro tried to free himself of Kyouya's hug and got up from the couch. He fixed his clothes and looked for a blanket he could use to cover the raven haired boy who was still asleep. Otherwise he would probably just get cold and wake up realizing that Mukuro wasn't there any longer. When he had finally found something that would make sure his boyfriend stayed warm, he bent down giving him a peck on the forehead. "I'll see you later." He said turning away. But before he finally left he gently touched one of his mist earrings that were hanging from his earlobes all the time. "Mukurou!" He called and suddenly a beautiful white owl appeared landing on his outstretched arm. "Mukurou, I need you to stay with Kyouya. Take care of him, will you?" The owl just hooted in agreement flying from his arm over to the back of the couch where it landed again. "Good owl. I'll bring you some cookies later on." He promised finally leaving the room. The white owl just flapped its wings in happiness keeping its eyes on the still sleeping boy.
When Kyouya woke up he was confused since there was something or rather someone missing. He sat up on the couch taking a look around but he couldn't see Mukuro anywhere. Instead he noticed the white owl that was sitting on the back of the couch watching him. "Mukurou, where is your master?" The owl just hooted and flapped with its wings. Kyouya sighed. Mukuro could at least have said something. Somehow he got the feeling that his disappearance might have to do with the thing he actually wanted to tell Kyouya yesterday. The raven sighed. Well if it would have been something serious the illusionist sure would have told him everything, besides he was capable of taking care of himself. At least he wanted to believe that. "Whatever. Just give me some minutes and then we'll go to school." He told the owl while getting up from the couch and heading to the bathroom where he first took a nice hot shower. It was incredible how much better he always felt after taking a shower especially when he had sex before. Although he enjoyed the sex it sure also made him feel dirty.
When he had finished his shower he quickly dressed and went back to the room to take the owl with him. The little fellow was already waiting eagerly for him stretching its wings to leave with its master's lover. Kyouya offered the owl his arm where it made itself comfortable giving him a look as if it was smiling. Kyouya petted the soft feathers just earning a pleased hoot from the owl. "Let's go then." He said turning around heading for school.
