Chapter 9b
The voices of people chatting were loud enough to wake Tatsuya up, he groaned and put both his hands against his ears, trying to prevent any noise coming to his brain, his head hurt like hell and his body ached almost everywhere.
“Ten more minutes…” he muttered before closing his eyes again, he felt so tired, he ran his hand up to his forehead to find his temperature was kind of hot, maybe he had caught himself a fever.
He felt another hand that was definitely not his hand pressed on his forehead, the hand was kind of comfortable.
“Oh, good, you’re better.” A voice spoke out, it was familiar, Tatsuya was sure he knew that voice, not Ryo, Tatsuya thought, relieved but somehow dissapointed, not Kame nor Junno neither, then who? Tatsuya furrowed his brows, he just didn’t want to open his eyes, he wanted to sleep more.
Ah~ he rememberd now, that voice belonged to Yamapi, now that made sense, the last person he met before slipping into unconsiousness was Yamapi, but wait, why was he unconsious? He talked to Yamapi, and suddenly the taller boy apologized to him for something, and then…
Tatsuya snapped his eyes open as he had clearly remembered what had happened, he sat up, ignoring the dizziness throbbing in his head and took a look around. He was in an unfamiliar room, in which there was almost no furnitures except for the bed he was lying on and a small table beside it, Yamapi standing above him, looking down with concerned eyes and a cup of water on his hand. He offered the water to Tatsuya and gave him some pills.
“Take them,” Yamapi said, “Don’t worry, they’re just antipyretic, they could help you with your fever.” He added.
Tatsuya sighed and took pills without asking more, after gulping the whole cup of water, he plopped himself back on the bed, using one arm to cover his eyes, he sighed again.
“I hope Ryo isn’t involed in all these things,” Tatsuya said with a rasping voice, the last thing he wanted now was seeing Ryo again.
“Sadly, he is,” Yamapi’s eyes had a hint of sadness, “But he is not the one who order me to kidnap you.”
Tatsuya sat up again, his eyes were wide, “Eh? What do you mean?”
“I am the worst friend ever, I’m terrible. I betray him,” Yamapi exlaimed in frustration, his head low, avoiding Tatsuya’s eyes.
Raising one eyebrow, Tatsuya almost forgot the dizziness that was still lingering in his head, though he thought the fever was kind of decreased already, “Oh, so why kidnapping me means betraying Ryo?”
Before Yamapi could answer, the door suddenly opened, revealed a group of five or six teenagers, they all looked about Tatsuya’s age or maybe older, and they made the impression of villains that Tatsuya usually saw on Hollywood movies. Tatsuya made a soft displeased noise in his throat for being interrupted between his talk with Yamapi.
“It’s impolite, walking in withouth knocking first,” Tatsuya said annoyingly.
“Well, well, the princess has waken, hasn’t she?” One man said mockingly, and somehow Tatsuya felt his stomach twist, Ryo had called him ‘princess’ before.
“Don’t call me that!” He yelled as his face colored at the memories, he mentally cursed himself for letting out his emotion, everything about Ryo until now all made him act abnormal.
One of them stepped closer to Tatsuya’s bed until he was just right beside the beautiful boy, “My bad, I should have known only Nishikido is allowed to call you by that name.” he chuckled.
Tatsuya’s face flushed, “No,” why would he still involved in Ryo’s business when he had tried to run away? He shook his head weakly, “No, he wasn’t either.”
“Quarreling?” the man raised his eyebrow, “Well then you will be happy if I inform that Nishikido has sent a punch of his surbordinates out around this area, looking for you.”
Tatsuya blinked.
“I can understand him though, it must be a waste if he let go of someone as pretty as you are~” He began to trail his finger along Tatsuya’s cheek, which the boy clinched back immediately, “Although I really hate that bastard, I have to admit,” he leaned in further, his nose almost touched Tatsuya’s, his breaths were hot against Tatsuya’s face, “He has a nice taste.” He smirked.
“Do.Not.Touch.Him” A dangerously angry voice interrupted. The man looked up, Yamapi had moved to right behind him, his eyes were threatening, and the man knew he was serious, so he draw back.
“We tell Nishikido to come here at seven in the evening, you should rest until then, since you’re still a bit warm.” The man said before turning around and walked out of the room, Tatsuya heard the door went locked, and everything returned to silence. He looked at Yamapi questioningly, wondering whose side he was really on.
Yamapi sighed and sat down on the unoccupied chair beside the bed, “I’m sorry, you must be scared, knowing that you are being kidnnaped.”
Tatsuya shook his head, “No, I’m not scared.” He brought his knees closer to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, letting his chin rest on knees, “Just hate it, it brings back bad memories.”
Tatsuya thought about what the man had said earlier, he didn’t understand, what did kidnapping him have anything to do with Ryo? He and Ryo were only normal friend, not to mention he had ran away from Ryo and had no intention of meeting him again. And what ‘nice taste’ was supposed to mean, anyway? Did he want to mention about Ryo’s cooking? Oh well, Tatsuya mentally brushed those questions off, there was no need to think so much, they just made his head hurt more. Ryo is really coming for me? He wondered, for some reason, his face’s color changed into more red.
‘’Bad memories’?’ Yamapi repeated in his mind, he sat silent as he observed the smaller boy and the changes in his face’s color, maybe the fever was taking its effect, Yamapi guessed, and he, too, was tired. Things just started to went all the wrong ways, it frustrated him, making him felt so vulnerable.
“This is the second time I fail to protect my most important person,” Yamapi suddenly said, he knew it was weird, talking something so personal to someone who he had just met and acquaintened for merely a week like Tatsuya, but he couldn’t take it anymore, he would go crazy if he kept everything in.
Tatsuya tilted his head to one side, making his cheek pressed against his knees, his eyes looked at Yamapi in an unreadable expression, but Yamapi knew the other boy was waiting for him to continued.
“He used to be a soccer player, but he was soon involved in all the gang’s business. He didn’t deserved that, he’s a good kid, and he should have a normal highschool life, with normal friends and his dream of being a national player,” Yamapi’s voice was soft, it was the only sound in the room, and Tatsuya kept being still, as if he had fallen asleep, except for his eyes were still open.
“Last year, he saved me from being ambushed by another gang and got his leg injured. The doctor said he couldn’t play soccer anymore, and it was all my fucking fault.” He gritted his teeth, frustration filled in his voice.
“And as much as a bastard I am, he still loves me,” Tatsuya could have sworn he saw the edges of the other boy’s lips were slightly curved upwards, “And I made a promise to myself that I would always protect him, to be with him.”
Tatsuya could see tears began to form in the other boy’s eyes, “What happened?” He asked, the first time he actually spoke during Yamapi’s story.
“They took him right in front of my eyes, and all I could do was watching helplessly,” Tears began to flow on his cheeks, “Now all my actions could cause him harm. I am the worst fucking boyfriend, I couldn’t protect him, and I don’t even know if he is safe or not, fuck, fuck!!” His voice gradually grew louder, he slammed his fist against the table with every ‘fuck’ word. And finally, he fell into silence, hiding his face in his two hands and sobbing uncontrollably.
Tatsuya’s mind works very fast, he was smart afterall. So they, whoever ‘they’ were, maybe those outside the room, took the boyfriend and attacked Yamapi, then it happened last week. They used the boyfriend against Yamapi, making him betray Ryo.
Tatsuya didn’t know what ‘love’ was, and he didn’t really want to know, he remember his mother’s sad smile before she pass away because her own husband couldn’t even be by her side at her last minute, he knew his mother love his father very much, and he knew she was hurt countless times because of that love. What ‘love’ is that can cause people so much pain? He wondered.
He was glad and angry at the same time, he’s glad that Yamapi didn’t really mean to betray Ryo, he was forced to, which meant Yamapi was still a good person, a good friend. But he was angry because no matter what, betraying friend was still a big mistake, Tatsuya grew up in the word where trust and loyalty were always put on the top, in the underworld life, betraying was unforgiveable, it was a disgusting thing to do.
Tatsuya was determined that he must find a way out before Ryo come, he stood up, “Yamapi, I have to get out of here.” He said softly and patted the other boy’s shoulder.
Yamapi snapped his head up , tears were still evident on his cheeks, “You can’t. There are many of them outside.”
“A punch of scums,” Tatsuya smirked sadistically, which caused a shiver ran up Yamapi’s back, he had to blinked a few times to make sure the boy in front of him was still Tatsuya, how could someone so girly and beautiful like this boy have that expression.
“B-but you still can’t, I-I won’t let you.” Yamapi tried to gain back his composure but he was somehow failed.
“Why?”
“If I let you escape, who knows what will happen to Yuya” Yamapi exclaimed, his hand put on the shorter boy’s shoulder.
“Listen, Yamashita-kun,” Tatsuya changed the way he called the other, which meant he was deadly serious, “Don’t make your mistake go any further,” a throbbing pain once again attacked Tatsuya’s head, he had to get out of here before the fever finally knock him out, “And trust me to handle all this mess, okay?”, he added.
Yamapi was quiet for a moment, before he shook his head, “What can you do, Tatsuya? Don’t underestimate them, and you are just a normal boy, not to mention… girlish boy.”
Tatsuay snorted, “You’ll see.”
Without warning, Tatsuya threw a punch to the taller boy’s stomach. It was too sudden for Yamapi to react, and the punch was powerful, Yamapi had to wonder where could he keep this strength in such a small body.
But he couldn’t think of an answer or of anything else, since his eyesight slowly became blur, and his legs was weaker and weaker. He was attacked by surprise, normally, he would never be knocked out this easily, since he was one of the three strongest in the gang.
“N-o fair…” he muttered before his leg finally given up, he stumbled against the floor, his head hit the hard material with a ‘thud’.
“We can have a fair fight later,” the sound of Tatsuya’s voice was blur in Yamapi’s ears.
The last thing Yamapi could see before consiousness finally fled away from him was Tatsuya’s smirk, “By the way, we’re even now, both knocked each other out once.”
