CHAPTER 6
"…yeah…it being taken care of. Everything is ready for your departure…" Not certain what had woke him up, Misaki groan slightly in his half sleep state. He rubbed his tired eyes and stretched his sore body for being sleep for so long. He registered on his back of his mind that he heard some voices before but now it's seem to be gone. He fluttered open his emerald eyes, blinking a few times to gain focus. There he saw Akihiko and Kisa, watching him. Misaki immediately sat up and looked to the men.
Taking his cue, Akihiko stood up and walked to the boy. Misaki just followed his movement from the corner of his eyes. "Are you alright?" Akihiko asked as he caressed the boy's slightly pale cheek. Misaki blushed a little before responded, "I'm alright. Just a little bit tired."
Akihiko cracked a small smile to the boy before stood up, "I need to do something in the main hall. Just take a rest and I will be back. Kisa, watch him for me." Akihiko directed his gaze to the boy behind him. Kisa bowed while Akihiko nodded before he disappeared behind the shut door. Silent ruled the room as they both tried hard to utter something. After a while, Misaki was the one who broke the silent. "Why?"
"Excuse me?" Kisa asked slightly frowned.
"Why did you betray your own country?" Misaki searched the familiar gray orbs of his best friend. Someone who he claimed to know with his heart…
Kisa sighed before he sat on the bed beside Misaki. Misaki just followed the gesture and shifted a little bit to make space for the boy. "I do this for you…"
Misaki frowned, not understanding what the boy was saying. Kisa seeing that his friend in puzzle added, "Four years ago, I went to Antitheus Kingdom, a year before I met you. There, I managed to get into some troubles which led me to meet Akihiko-sama. He somehow helped me and offered me a place in his circle. I got back to this country as a spy for him. My work was to gather information that can be useful to him and report anything happen in this country. When we met three years ago, I thought of using you at first but after a while I started seeing you as my dear friend. I really cared for you and seeing you got beaten mostly every day, I must do something. I worked really hard to gather all the information needed as Akihiko-sama had already planned to conquer this kingdom. I planned to take you away from the castle and we could live together outside. But well… my plan seemed got disrupt…" Kisa rubbed his forehead. Misaki processed the information gathered and smiled. His friend not betrayed him… he felt relief as he still could see his best friend in Kisa.
"I understand, Kisa. Just never keep secret from me. Not this kind of secret." Misaki embraced his shocked friend. Kisa touched by Misaki's kindness cried in happiness as he buried his face on Misaki's shoulder. Misaki just shut his eyes and rubbed the boy's back slowly. "Thank you, thank you; you don't know how long I really want to hear that. I'm really sorry for lying to you."
"Seems you had reconciled. Kisa… go to the main hall. There's something you had to do." Hearing the familiar voice, the two boys startled in surprise before broke their embrace and looked to the voice's direction. Akihiko with his arms cross looked back to them. Kisa took the cue to get out from the room, not missing the unusual low voice and narrow eyes. Kisa bowed to his chief and took off. Akihiko still with his narrow eyes followed the boy out. Misaki who just watched interaction startled a bit. Akihiko's voice early was laced with a bit anger and…jealousy!? And added with his low voice and narrow eyes, one could not mistake that as a predator glare. Misaki felt his heart to beat faster when he make a rather stupid assumption. Jealousy is a part of love… right? Misaki looked a way, trying to hide his blush face. 'There's no way I fall in love with the man. (He raped you remember!) But… he still was kind to me. He was so gentle with me yesterday. And he comforted me yesterday too… (But still he raped you) I know! Beside from that, he never did anything to me…' Decided to hold the conclusion in his mind, He smiled back to the man. Akihiko approached the boy and sat down on the bed. "Can you walk?" Akihiko asked, observing the boy's condition. The boy looked confuse first before answered, "Yeah… why?"
"It's time to go home."
~In the battle plane, Akihiko's office room~
Misaki sat by the window while watching the ruffle of the dark sky. He was still in his black uniform, which he really grateful as he could blend in the crowds easily. He looked around the room, relief to be alone. After Akihiko said that they would go home, he commanded him to pack his belongings and followed him. To his surprise he was led to a huge battle plane. He found out that it was one of ten battle ships that landed on the kingdom's ground. From the reports he heard, some prisoners were taken and put in the cell in the lower level of the plane. Amount them were his parents. He knew that Akihiko's would never let his parents roamed freely like he had given his brothers. Misaki, in his deepest heart also did not want his parents to be free as likely they would plot revenge and tried to cause problem. However, he tried to plead for his parent's freedom just to be cut by Akihiko, "I just asked you only this: Don't interfere." At last resort, Misaki begged for their safety which Akihiko only said, "I will make sure they alive but don't aspect me to not do anything to them." Akihiko voice left him with no argument. Misaki shut his lips and accept the condition.
He still in his mind scape as Akihiko entered the room. He walked to the boy and circled his arms around the boy's small waist. Misaki jumped in surprise before he swung his body back. He was relief to see the pair of the amethyst orbs. Akihiko nudged his head and snuggled his head in the junction of the boy's shoulder. He inhaled the sweet scent of the boy, feeling content for the first time in his life in other person company. This boy made him felt feeling that he didn't know he could feel. The amount of happiness just seeing the boy happy and stay by side… he didn't know how to say. Misaki, who earlier realized his growing feeling for the man, just let him to take comfort. For the first time in his life, he felt complete. He was happy as he could do something for other people. Akihiko released his embrace and pulled the boy out from the room. The corridor was void from any people. Akihiko led the boy to a bed chamber and entered the room together. He pushed the boy to the bed and kissed the delectable lips. He looked to the emerald orbs, mesmerized with its beauty. He rolled his body to the side, pulling the boy into his embrace and whispered to the boy, "Sleep"
