~~~Arc 2 - Chapitre 22 - Falling~~~
A smirk spreaded across the man's face as he caught sight of two young men exiting the mansion area, without guards nonetheless. It's either they were being too careless, or they didn't know about the ordeal. Either way, it's a good thing for him.
"Targets are moving out of the area. Waiting for instructions." He spoke to the communicator on his ear. And when the man from the other line spoke, he could only grinned wider. "Understood."
After collecting his stuffs, the man quickly climbed down the building and into the white mini-van waiting on the ground. Sliding himself into the backseat, he signaled the driver to start moving, hands preparing the bowgun he's about to use.
***
Yuya found the boy he's talking to interesting. The boy has vast knowledge and nice to talk to. Despite their age differences, there is no awkwardness in the way they talked with each other.
"And that's how I ended up here. My mother was against it at first, claiming she was worried about me living in a city by myself. But I managed to convince her after I begged Kei-chan to assured my mother that he'll take care of me while I'm in the city." Chinen ended with a huff. "My mother could be such a pain sometimes, with the way she worries about me like that."
"You should be glad instead." Yuya spoke sadly, a soft smile adorning his lips. "I never have someone who would worry over me like that. What with our parents away all the times. I'm jealous of you."
Chinen quickly looked down, fingers interlacing with each other. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright." Yuya shrugged. "Beside, I'm over it already."
"I see." Chinen nodded his head. "But you're really alike with Yamada-kun. I just realized that."
"With Ryosuke ? How ?" Yuya's eyes perked up in curiousity.
"Well, sometimes ago, when I was complaining about my mother's behaviour, Yamada-kun said the same thing that you just said. That I should be grateful about it." Chinen answered with a small smile. "That's why, with how the two of you think, I really think that you two are really alike. Though it was obvious, since you're brothers and all."
"I see." Yuya smiled, feeling warm inside his heart suddenly. But then just as sudden, he felt the other boy beside him stopped walking, and as he looked back, he saw the boy sprawling on the ground already, unconscious.
"Chinen-san !" He shouted and quickly rushed to his side to check on his condition. He felt his forehead, but frowned when he found that the boy wasn't having a fever. He tried his pulse, only to frown deeper as he found it normal. What makes him fainted so suddenly like that ?
"Boy, I've called an ambulance. You better brought him to the side."
Yuya looked to his side and find a serious-faced man kneeling beside him, helping him to lift the unconscious boy up and to the bench by the side. Soon enough, a crowd of people were found gathering around them, only to be shoo-ed by the man as he claimed that the fainted boy needed space. A few minutes later, they could hear a sirine and an ambulance quickly pulled to a stop in front of them. Yuya could see two paramedics climbed down from the car and lifted Chinen to the trolley and wheeled him inside the van. They asked Yuya to come with them for administration procedure, to which Yuya quickly agreed.
He was surprised to find the man who called for the ambulance before climbing into the ride as well, but quickly shrug it off thinking that he might wanted to help further. When he felt the car start moving, he turned his eyes at Chinen and stared at the boy worriedly. But before he knew it, a pair of hands bringing a cloth over his mouth, making him inhaling the scent coming from the cloth. He tried to struggle, but it was proven to be in vain as seconds later, he fell into nothingness.
***
Ryosuke brought an arm into his slightly pounding head before scanning his surrounding, feeling that something is missing from it. As he rolled to the side, he frowned when he found emptiness on it. He now remembered that Yuya had slept with him for the night. So why did he left the room without even waking him up ? Taking the clock by the drawer beside his bed, he widened his eyes in surprise as the hands of the clock telling him that it's almost noon already.
Groaning in annoyance, he got off from his bed and proceeded into the bathroom inside his room. Brushing his teeth lazily, he frowned at seeing his own reflection in the mirror. Two visible black circles below his eyes is a prove of his fatigue. And he somehow aware of the unnatural paleness of his skin. He was always fair-skinned since he was born, and no matter how much he played under the sun, all he got in result was tender red skin. But for a reason, the paleness of his skin now is not healthy at all. Yuya must have had realized these too and let him sleep in.
"I looked like a Panda." He muttered to himself as he continue brushing his teeth.
Quickly changing his attire after finishing his wash-up, he then make his way downstairs where he crossed Kota.
"Ah, Bocchan. I was about to wake you up since it's noon already and you need to eat something, but it seemed that you have beaten me in that." His butler smiled while giving his master a polite bow. "Shall we proceed to the dining room then ? Lunch is almost ready, but you could always have a little snack before."
Ryosuke just nodded as he follow Kota to the direction of the dining room, but frowned when he found no Yuya around still.
"Where's Yuya ?" He asked bluntly as he seated himself on his usual chair.
He could watched how Kota's face hardened at the mention of the name, but the young butler tried to hide it from him as he spoke. "Yuya-sama went out to the city a couple of hours ago. He said that he has something to buy. And also to take Chinen-sama to the bus station."
The teenager literally frozen on his seat as he tried to process the information Kota just said.
"Did you just said that he left ?" He asked carefully, fearing the worst scenario to happen.
"Yes." Kota nodded. "Is there something the matter ?"
"Shit !" Ryosuke cursed as he made a run upstairs and back into his room. Hastily grabbing a jacket, he then search for his phone and quickly dialed a number. He could feel Kota coming on his door, breaths coming in short pant.
"Bocchan ? What is the matter ?"
"Yuya is in danger. He is not allowed to get out freely." He whispered before cursing again when once again, the call was directed to voice mail. "I'm going out, Kota." He wears his jacket as he walked past Kota and out of the room. He was halted on his steps when a hand grabbed his own arm. He turned around and find Kota with a hard look on his face.
"You cannot leave now, Bocchan" He said with serious tone. "If Yuya-sama is in danger, then you are too. I know you are worried but please leave it to us. I will send some people to search for him immediately."
"No, you don't understand ! This is different ! I have to go myself to have things done !" Ryosuke hissed, all the while trying to break free from Kota's unexpected strong grip.
"Trust me, I do understand. But I can't have you go into danger recklessly like this ! Please, Bocchan, listen to me and leave this matter to me." Kota begged the other boy. He knew what was going on, and he can't possibly let Ryosuke out in this kind of situation.
"Then why don't you ask Valentine about why the hell did he assigned me to protect Yuya personally ?!" Losing all his composures, Ryosuke shouted as loud as he could, uncaring of how his shout could be heard among the house residents. But still, his shout had caught Kota off guard as he immediately loosening his grip, giving Ryosuke chance to break away.
"Bocchan, what did you-" Kota widened his eyes, unable to believe what he just heard.
Taking a deep breath, Ryosuke slowly nursing his aching arm as he spoke. "I knew, Kota. I knew that you knew about my secret activities. And I can't thank you enough for keeping it a secret from everyone. I also knew that you have a relationship with Valentine."
"How ? Since when ?" Kota muttered, still flabbergasted to move an inch.
"Since I introduced you to Valentine. I smelled something different from the both of you so I did some research. That's how I found out about your relationship with him." Ryosuke answered softly, head looking down. "I respect that since you respected my decision too. And I hope you will respect my decision to do this by myself now. Please, Kota. I beg you."
And as Kota's eyes met with his young master's teary ones, he couldn't find himself to stop him anymore as the boy rushed through the flight of stairs and out of the house ground.
"He knew..."
***
"What the hell were you doing ?!"
The man cringed at the yell and stepped back a bit.
"How could you mistaken the second son ? This boy is no one ! I don't even know his face !" The yell keep erupting from the raged man, and he could only let him do so, or else he would be in trouble.
"Now, now, Nagase-kun, no need to be that angry at Tanaka-kun like that. In fact, this might be a good thing."
Nagase turned back, eyes still red in anger. "How could this kind of mistake called a good thing ?!"
"For one, I do know what the second son will be doing upon this situation." A smile grazed the man's lips as he sucked on his smoking pipe. "He will try to find his brother desperately, and we will let him."
The man caught Nagase about to protest, so he raised a finger to stop him.
"We will let him find his brother, and into the trap."
"Trap ? What trap ?" Nagase narrowed his eyes.
"We will forced him into a situation where he has to choose. His brother, or this boy. The second son might look like it, but I believed he actually has a gentle heart. That's why instead of choosing between the two gentlemen here, he will offer us his life instead." An evil smile forming on the man's face, spreading cold air throughout the room. "And when we dealed with his offer, taking these two boys' life afterwards won't be a hard job. After all, he wouldn't know when he's dead already, right ? Of whether we keep our 'promise' or not."
"How could you be so sure ?" Nagase snorted sarcastically. "He could just left the two boys to death while he run and hide to save his own ass."
"Of course he won't." The man laughed crisply. "Since he's so similar to how my own son used to be. A gentle heart with a steel shield."
Nagase tsk-ed as he plopped down the couch. "Do as you wish, Okamoto."
"Oh, I will." The man smiled. "And beside, I can't let myself to miss my son Keito in action, can I ? That would be too much of a waste."
