Lover's Sacrifices Chapter 5, Staying Home
Hakuryuu sighed and grabbed the remote button to turn off the tv. He brought his hand to his chin, "A dead body found in a theater, and they called it suicide without an investigation. Bullshit." Not caring for the remote's surface he flung it somewhere wherever it happened to land. He slid off the bed and marched to the door. He proceeded into the hallway which was too quiet as expected. Maids that dusted the paintings on the walls stopped their work to give the man a slight bow. Hakuryuu inclined his head and continued his way through the long hall. He thought about cooking something to lighten up his dull mood so he journeyed to the kitchen downstairs. Cooks greeted him as he grabbed his apron from a hook by the doorway. A young blue haired male on a counter by the stove looked like he awaited his arrival. He tilted his phone in his hands having his eyes intently focused on the screen. When he glanced up he hopped off the counter and walked up to the scarred man, "Hey Hakuryuu. You look stressed, are you okay?" Hakuryuu tied the strings together once he placed the apron on.
He leaned against the stove, "I'm fine, and classes are a bit overwhelming so I'm cooking something up to relieve my stress." The shorter man observed Hakuryuu digging into the cabinets for cooking materials. He stood by him to keep him company. Hakuryuu smiled and didn't mind, standing over the stove and placing everything he needed by him. The young man began to grow nervous telling from his big blue eyes wandering to different sections of the room. Clearing his throat he crossed his arms over the counter, "S-So, I was wondering if you can help me with something."
"What is it?" Hakuryuu got spices from a shelf above him. He glanced at his side wearing a smile, predicting the incoming words being quite interesting. The man next to him turned red, "I...liked Hakuei for a few months now and I want to confess that I love her, but I have no idea how to approach her." Hakuryuu snickered beneath a lone hand lying on his mouth. It then rested below his lip for the young male next to him to see his mischievous smile. He bumped an elbow on his chest, "Seisyun, didn't know you had a crush on her for a long time..." Seisyun twisted his body towards the wall hiding his glowing cheeks. The support he'd expect to get from his scarred friend will crawl underneath his foot. He groaned, "Hakuryuu!" His friend laughed and grabbed meat from the fridge. He chopped it into little pieces with a knife, "You say exactly how you feel, no need to be afraid to tell her. You know she is your friend, so she won't make fun of you for showing some courage. And if she may not like you back she won't be mean about it."
The words of wisdom finally got accepted into Seisyun's ears. Seisyun nodded and placed his hand on his hip, "Can we...probably act it out so I can have a little more confidence?" Hakuryuu set the knife aside, "Sure." Seisyun stepped a few feet away from him. When he turned his body around he saw the other man pretending to file his nails. He even acted like a teenager who admired himself in front of an imaginary mirror. He sighed but didn't say anything about it for the sake of overcoming his shyness.
He approached him bashfully, "H-Hello mistress Hakuei." Hakuryuu looked at him happily, "Hello Seisyun, do you need something?"
"Well...I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"F-For a few months now I had grown to have stronger feelings for you. I will understand if you don't return the same feelings. I just wanted to get this out of my hair."
They froze when they saw the woman they spoke of standing in the doorway stunned. Her dark hair hung beside her beautiful face and wore dark powder above her bright eyes. On her body was a dark green dress and black sweater over it making her appear formal. Seisyun was the only one who responded to her sudden presence by giving a squeak. Hakuei giggled, "I'm surprised you have feelings for him Seisyun. I think it's adorable." Hakuryuu held his stomach, almost falling over laughing. The deep red on Seisyun's cheeks could make the reaction rich. Seisyun ran up to her, "N-No it's not what you think! I was acting with Hakuryuu so I...can tell how I feel towards you without messing anything up." The long haired woman blinked. She placed a hand on his shoulder, "So you were going to direct those words to me. I am sorry but I only see each other as friends. I respect that you were going to tell me this, however I can only hope that you find another that will be your true love. I hope I didn't upset you." The blue haired man's eyes widened as he listened. He fell silent, but placed his palms together, "You did not mistress. I understand. I will remain by your side as your servant and friend." The two exchanged smiles and Hakuryuu was happy everything went well. He continued chopping meat on the cutting board and sliding them into the pan.
Hakuei made her way to him, "Brother, have you heard about the suicide? I heard about it when I was returning home from a court case and I couldn't believe it."
Hakuryuu tossed some spice on the meat, "You think it wasn't a suicide either?" Hakuei nodded slightly. She opened the fridge to get some vegetables for him. She carried them to the cutting board and helped cut them, "Someone couldn't possibly cut themselves like that and pierce glass shards into their neck. I wonder why they didn't investigate any further about it." Hakuryuu paused. Kouha came to his mind right away. The one who is beginning to emit a mysterious nature he can almost deeply fear. He thought of the death threat he was given by him and the peculiar conversation the two had yesterday. He can somehow see the hidden monster stirring the tragedy with shards of glass cutting into the man's neck. The image of this slightly melted the inside of his throat. But why did the police just up and left the case saying it was suicide? He suddenly felt like something is being hidden from him. And somehow grew curious about the mansion.
"Hakuei...have you ever had a feeling that this house is...hiding something?"
The woman looked at him questionably, "What do you mean?" She gently tossed the vegetables in the pan. "Think about it, we hardly speak to our cousins and the old hag. And they are never really seen anywhere around the house. I never noticed because I was in depression. Now that I am out of it I am thinking this house is hiding something from us," Hakuryuu turned the stove on. He gently stirred the vegetables with a wooden spoon. Seisyun crossed his arms, "I don't know much since the lady of the mansion recently hired me to serve mistress Hakuei. But now that I think about it this place seems like a mystery. But I cannot get into the business of the household or I'll be in trouble." Hakuei nodded and rinsed her hands off by the sink, "I did notice that mother has been acting rather strange. She spoke to one of Kouha's servants about her not trusting the people that he called friends. She said that he will become 'strange' again and to separate him from them." Hakuryuu is getting somewhere with this. Kouha was most likely kept away from having anyone close to him because it can affect his mood, bringing out another side of him. Possibly the one he is dealing with now.
He has come across a few incidents where the male would act out of the ordinary and becoming normal soon after. And this occurred multiple times when he was younger. He only had fragments of the memory so he couldn't think any further. He knows more about Kouha now, so he can piece everything together. But he wondered if the hag knows anything about Kouha's psychotic side. Could she be the reason Kouha got away with murder? Because she knows about his crazy side is it possible she bribed the police for them to say the case was suicide? So he definitely knows that the young man murdered people before. But he doesn't know how many. He decided to dig deep into it later along with the house.
"I see. I think I'll look into this later myself and tell you what I find," Hakuryuu tried to shove the conversation away. He didn't want to get overwhelmed with a whole bunch of thinking. Hakuei resumed to assist him while he cooked, speaking about random things. Seisyun joined in seeming to get over his broken heart easily. Despite Hakuryuu happily conversing his friend Alibaba kept popping into his head.
Alibaba went into Aladdin and Judal's room to check the young boy's temperature. He glanced at Judal's side of the room and saw Aladdin cuddling up to him in his bed. The blond crawled over the older male to reach Aladdin and touched his forehead with a hand. Sighing, he pulled his hand away and hopped off the bed. He left the room, closing the door behind him gently. He strolled to the kitchen calling Aladdin and Judal's classes to report their absence. Kouha and Cassim hung out in there drinking some coffee. They chatted about how the activities arranger, Pisti, should do a Halloween festival. The topic got bizarre, as far as saying that students should plant pumpkins surrounding the director's building just to scare whoever comes out of it. Alibaba tucked the phone in his pocket and plopped on a chair near the men. "Judal seems to have an awful hangover, and Aladdin is still sick. I called the classes to let the professors know that they'll stay home today. I don't know who would watch them though since we'll be at our classes," The golden eyed man drank the warm coffee that sat in front of him. A sweet taste filled his mouth and he examined the bright colored coffee, "Hey, who went crazy on the sugar?" The pink haired man moved his eyes downwards, "I'm sorry if you don't like it. When I made it I thought of sweet you are and might've put too much in it."
Alibaba chuckled and kissed him, "It's fine, I'll still drink it. It actually tastes good." Kouha scooted closer to hug him. "You guys are adorable. I usually wonder if you'll get married," Cassim teased. Kouha's eyes glowed in excitement, blushing madly.
He hugged the blond tighter, "Yes! We could! We already seem like we are soul mates despite us only dating for only like a week. Maybe after we graduate we can plan a wedding!" Alibaba fixed his eyes on his brother giving a confused expression. Marriage being brought up around this time? No sort of emotion but shock was able find his face leaving it frozen. Later the temperature he searched for burned him to the toe. Marrying his sweet boyfriend can be a dream come but it seemed too soon to think of it. Seeing Kouha thrilled though made him happy. He gave a nervous laugh, "I want to be with you forever, but I need some time to think about this. After we graduate and get everything out of the way I'll give you an answer." Kouha nodded eagerly. Alibaba turned his attention back to Cassim, "How's the hangover for you brother?" Cassim crossed his legs over the table, "Fine, aside from my huge ass headache. I'm still going to my classes though."
Aladdin stumbled into the kitchen with his hair messy and down. He rubbed his eyes, "Morning..." He groaned and slowly climbed on Kouha's lap. Alibaba saw that he looked extremely tired and pale. Kouha brushed through his hair with his fingers to fix it, "Morning Aladdin, shouldn't you be laying down?" Aladdin moaned and lowered his head. Alibaba poked his cheek, "Being stubborn huh." Kouha started to braid the boy's hair gently. Aladdin sipped some of Kouha's coffee, "I'm fine. I can go to my classes. Education needs me." As far as Alibaba could tell Aladdin wouldn't make it through five minutes in class. The only thing he needs is sleep. Alibaba took the mug from, making him whine a little. The older man set it aside, "Aladdin, you're in bad shape. I already called your classes so you're staying home until you feel better." The blue haired boy hugged Kouha's chest, "I don't want to." Kouha giggled, finishing up his hair. Alibaba lifted himself up, "Come on. Off to bed." He tried prying Aladdin off but he refused to budge. The short male got up as well and Aladdin was still on him. That teen had a gorilla-like grip Alibaba didn't expect him to have. Cassim laughed seeing that the blond was still trying to pull Aladdin off.
Aladdin protested as Alibaba tugged his body. The two argued and Kouha stood the whole time lowering his brows. "Oi faggots what are you yelling about? And what are you doing chibi?" Judal popped into the kitchen scratching his head. Aladdin released his hold, dropping his body on the floor. He crawled to the black haired man and hid behind him. "I wanna go to my classes big brother, but Alibaba isn't letting me," Aladdin complained.
Judal hoisted him to his feet, "Aww, you want me to whoop his ass?" Aladdin gave a slight nod. Alibaba screamed and held Kouha close to him, "Aladdin you traitor!"
Judal crept to the blond, "You can't run from me rhino. And your boyfriend can't help ya either." Alibaba backed away, bringing Kouha with him. As Judal neared Alibaba made his way out of the kitchen. Cassim turned his head to Aladdin who was drinking Alibaba's coffee, "You're evil, you know that?" Aladdin giggled evilly as a response.
The blond rushed into the bathroom, locking the door. He sighed and leaned against the wall. "You can't hide there for long blond boy~! You gotta go pretty soon! And I'm not leaving this spot until you open the door!" Judal sung from the other side of the door. Kouha seated himself on the side of the bathtub, "Despite Aladdin and Judal not feeling well they seem to have quite some energy on them." Alibaba decided to sit next to him, "Yeah, I wonder how they do that. But, they still need to lay down." He groaned, leaning on his knees.
"So...how do we get out? Maybe he is just teasing."
"He's out there, believe me."
Kouha frowned and rubbed the blond's hand. Alibaba thought about Judal sitting outside like a cat ready to pounce on his prey. He wanted to drive him away, but didn't know how. Then an idea struck him. "We might have to get him to go away. But...you may not like how we're going to do it..." He set a hand on the shorter male's waist. He stuttered, "Wh- What are we-" He was cut off when lips touched his. He squeaked as the hand gave his butt a gentle squeeze. His face grew a deep shade of red. Alibaba nibbled on his bottom lip and traced his tongue along it. He moved his head to his neck where he sucked on the soft skin. Kouha gasped and bit his lip nervously. Something went into Alibaba's mind that was lust. At first he wanted to get Judal away but now he felt a sudden feeling of touching Kouha. The more he touched him, the more he had forgotten about his motive. He couldn't stop and begged for more.
His hands crawled up Kouha's shirt to play with his nipples. "A-Ah!" Kouha cried out. He soon moaned when Alibaba licked his neck and sucked harder. Once a mark appeared Alibaba lifted his head up. He was stunned that the other male looked like he was enjoying his touches. Kouha shyly adverted his eyes away from him, "S-Sweetie how long are we going to do this? I think he might've left by now..." Alibaba nibbled on his ear, "Just a little longer. We need to make sure that he is totally gone." He swore his voice sounded a little dark. He ignored it though and pulled Kouha's shirt up. He sucked on a nipple earning loud moans from the other man. His pants slightly grew tighter and he flushed. Kouha located himself on his lap where he felt something rub against his lower side that made his face heat up. "Ali?" Kouha breathed out. Alibaba stopped sucking and gazed into his shy eyes. "What is it?" He asked. Kouha touched foreheads with him, "I-Is it wrong if I want you to...go further with me?"
Alibaba raised an eyebrow, "And I thought that you wanted to take things slowly." Kouha puffed his cheeks, "I am actually liking what you are doing to me right now. I...want you to touch me more." Alibaba laughed listening to a horny Kouha. He zipped down his pants and reached in to touch Kouha's half erection.
Kouha winced letting out a small squeak. Alibaba moved Kouha off him lightly and sat on the floor. He started stroking the cock earning light moans from the other man. Kouha gripped the side of the bathtub closing his eyes halfway. Alibaba decided to lick the tip, tracing his tongue along the shaft. The pink haired man panted, "Ali..." Alibaba couldn't help but think that Kouha's noises were adorable. He took the cock into his mouth and slid his head downwards. He sucked in a steady rhythm that made Kouha grow a little louder.
On the other side Judal and Cassim who sat by the door lowered their eyebrows. The dreaded man rested his head on Judal's shoulder, "You're still gonna sit here when they are doing that?" Judal frowned from how he was too close to him. He pushed him away, "Yeah. So what if they have sex I'm not leaving this spot til that door opens." Cassim chuckled and leaned back.
"Pervert," He blurted out.
Judal looked over his shoulder, "You're the homo here, and guess what I'm not seeing you moving your ass back in the kitchen. Therefore you are the real pervert here." Cassim raised his arms in defense, "Whoa I'm kidding. No need to get all pissy." The two panicked when Aladdin walked up to them. He shifted his gaze between them curiously, "What's going on? Why are you-"
Judal shot up and shoved him away nicely, "It's nothing! Go back in the-"
"What are those noises? Are they hurt?"
"No! They are...uh...eating ice cream and are really enjoying it apparently!"
"Ice cream? I want some!"
"Too bad. They are eating strawberry."
"Ew!"
Cassim dropped his body on the floor laughing. Once Judal managed to get Aladdin back in the kitchen he returned. He kicked the laughing man, "What's so funny?" Cassim shook his head and sat up. "Eating ice cream. Really? And you left your spot," Cassim wiped tears off his eyes. Judal knelt near him and smacked him on the leg, "Shut up, I had to get him away somehow. Now shoo goldilocks." They paused as they heard Kouha let out a short cry from behind the door. Everything fell silent, making the red eyed man cringe. "Holy shit..." He slowly moved his eyes towards the other man awkwardly. He snickered and scooted into the kitchen. "What was that?" The blue haired boy cried out. "Ice cream!" The dark haired man shouted. He waited for a good couple of minutes before the door opened. He twisted his body around to see Alibaba jump back screaming. The blond fixed his posture, "What the fuck?! You've been there the whole time?!"
Judal smirked, "I told ya I wasn't leaving. But I didn't expect you to...eat ice cream..." Kouha and Alibaba stared at him feeling lost. Alibaba shrugged and rubbed the back of his head, "We thought we could drive you away. But...we got carried away sort of..." When he glanced at his boyfriend they shared a moment of blushing quietly.
"Well, now that you're out you better start running the fuck away." Judal said quickly with his arms raised to him. Alibaba shrieked and prepared to run from him. Judal pounced on him, dragging him into a rough house. Kouha inched close to them, "Um...you need help sweetheart?" Alibaba shook his head and was placed in a headlock. He struggled to break free from the strong man's grip. Kouha sighed and disappeared into the kitchen. "Give up rhino!" Judal laughed. The younger man gave him an Indian burn making him yank his arms off him. Cassim peered at them, "Hey brother find his weak point!" A perfect idea got his lips to lift up sneakily. He pulled Judal's face close and gave his cheek a lick. Judal slapped him, "What the fuck man! That's gross!"
He got the saliva off his cheek. They resumed fighting and Kouha watched in worry. Aladdin cheered him up by hugging him. He stared up at him, "It's okay Kouha, Alibaba is the strongest person I know so he'll easily win the fight." Kouha giggled and gave his face a nuzzle, "Okay."
Cassim cocked a brow at the young boy, "You're very affectionate towards him Aladdin. Am I sensing love here?"
Aladdin blushed and shook his head, "No! I just like being with him. If he was a lady I would really love him! He would be the prettiest and kindest one in the world!" The pink haired male's cheeks stained red. Alibaba walked into the room holding his arm. The three boys asked what happened at the same time. The man sighed, "Pulled a muscle." Kouha gasped and rushed to him, lightly touching the injured arm, "How? Did you wrestle a little too rough?"
Alibaba smiled, "Judal sort of pulled my arm back and yeah..." Kouha narrowed his eyes to the floor. His expression had a dull look to it which was covered by his bangs. "It's fine though I taught him a lesson even with my arm hurt," Alibaba lifted his chin up proudly. Kouha rubbed the strained arm, "Okay, but we might need to take you to the hospital." Kouha's face returned back to normal. Cassim got up from his chair to check his brother's arm. He examined it, "You should take it easy since it looks like you're not in too much pain, but if it's really bad you're definitely going to the hospital."
Alibaba hates the word hospital. Ever since he was little. He never liked when doctors touched him and use tools to check his health. The blond hugged Kouha with one arm, "I hate the hospital! Don't take me there!" His voice didn't sound at all manly. It was high pitched and desperate to get him away from the wooden popsicle sticks. Aladdin drank tea that Cassim gave him, "It's okay Alibaba. The doctors will never hurt you. Besides, you get lollipops after an appointment or checkup." Alibaba whimpered and Kouha caressed his back. Cassim strolled out of the room, "I'll get bandages to hold-" He tripped over Judal who laid on the floor texting. The dreaded man swore and fell on the floor roughly. He cupped his cheek that bleed, "Shit..."
Judal lowered his phone, "Humpty dumpty had an awful ass fall. Need help?" Cassim shook his head and groaned. Kouha and Alibaba checked to see if he was okay. Alibaba helped him up and gave Judal a light kick. The braided man snorted and resumed texting on his phone. Kouha grabbed an ice pack from the freezer, "Everyone is staying home today. Seems like you guys are in bad shape so I'll stay as well to care for you."
Judal swung his feet, "Alright. I'll be in my room. Chibi, come." He rolled into his room bumping his head on walls in the process.
Aladdin caught up to him skipping happily. Alibaba rubbed Kouha's cheek with a thumb, "You don't need to I'll be fine. I had a few broken bones before and still went to school." Cassim chuckled, "Yeah the bones I broke myself. I only have a bloody cheek so it's not going to kill me." The shorter man didn't listen. He lightly shoved them both, "Nope! You are laying down before you hurt yourselves more!" He handed Cassim the ice pack which he accepted slowly. The mother-like Kouha made the brothers give off a nervous laugh. For most of the day the pink haired man made the boys rest and surprisingly Judal obeyed. The pain in Alibaba's arm grew worse so Kouha called a doctor to come over and look at it. The golden eyed man wished he was in his classes at the moment.
I thought I would would be able to upload shorts too but I might wait until the whole story is finished before adding them as extras. I'll see how everything will go. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you guys later ^^
