Too late part 2
"No!"
A shriek of agony escaped Aichi's lips as the sixth damage slowly fell down on the damage zone, confirming the winner.
Kai watched as the starry surroundings around them faded as Aichi fell to his knees, starting to writhe and scream.
"Aichi!" The brunet ran over and grabbed the bluenet as his frame shook with many spasms of pain, his eyes rimmed with white and wide, face pale, mouth snapped open and emitting many anguished screams that resounded in Kai's ears.
A giant plume of red sprouted out from his body, blooming like a flower and floating up to the sky.
The last of the screams left Aichi's throat as the red shadow on his forehead disappeared and the red marks that spilled out on his cheeks retreated into his eyes.
Kai hugged the unconscious bluenet, stiffening.
Aichi felt dangerously cold.
Kai looked into Aichi's eyes, and he noticed that they were still clouded and hollow, and stared up at the palace ceiling above.
"Aichi." Kai breathed gently, shaking said boy.
No answer.
Kai forced a gentle smile on his face as he shook Aichi again and again, the irresponsive boy lying limp in his arms as the smile on Kai's face quickly dropped into a worried frown.
He gently pressed his hand around the heart, searchimg for a pulse, wondering if Aichi was still alive.
Kai froze, his eyes widening in horror as no sign of a beating heart was found.
No! He can't be dead yet!
Kai frantically checked all the places where a pulse could be found, the wrists, the neck.
Nothing.
"Kai!"
Said person turned around to see Gaillard and Naoki running towards them.
"No... it can't be.." Gaillard whispered hoarsely, his eyes widening and his pupils dilating in fear as he also moved his hands around, checking for any signs of life.
"It's just as I feared.." His hand dropped down in sync with his head, tears falling down from shadowed eyes. Both mates looked at the teal haired man questionably, wordlessly begging him to tell them what the hell was going on.
"Reverse was feeding on him, this whole time, draining him of his life. We didn't make it in time." Gaillard sobbed, his lips starting to quiver as he dropped to his knees, mourning over the dead bluenet. Naoki followed next, collapsing on the floor, thumping his fist against the cool marble ground, a transperant stream flowing down his cheeks as he howled in anguish.
The last flame of hope was squashed in Kai's heart as he too, collapsed on his knees, beginning to weep as well, tears falling on Aichi's face like consistent rain.
I'm sorry, Aichi. I failed to save you.
Tomorrow I will continue the smut, as requested.
