1254 Words
Shion ran outside the house and automtically bump into someone's car. He looked at the men who went out from the car.
"Young master."
He got surprised. How did they know that he's here? But it is not important anymore. He looked back at Dark's house.
"Come with us young master and we will never lay a finger on the guy who hide you from us."
He gulp.
"Sorry Dark, I don't want you to be in this mess."
He immediately went inside the car and drove away from the place. He looked back and saw Dark ran from his house' looking for him.
He closed his eyes and beg for forgiveness. He just want to keep him safe.
"How are you young master?"
"I am doing fine until now."
"We're sorry for ruining your peaceful life young master but you really need to take over the family as soon as possible."
"I know, I understand."
He looked out from the window and remembers the moment they are just cuddling with each other.
~~~ Flashback
"Don't ever plan on leaving me my little angel. I will drag you back even if it is from hell."
Shion smiled. Dark is so sweet. His sugar coated words paired with his sweet gestures. They are just cuddling in the bed.
"But the day will come that someone will drag me away from you. My family."
Dark kissed the tip of his nose.
"I will do everything just to hold on to you even if the whole world is against us."
Shion smiled at Dark.
"Even if it is you who don't ever want me to be with you, I will never let you go. You're just mine, mine alone."
"Should I be afraid of your possessiveness?"
Shion joked. They laughed.
"Whatever my little angel, all I know is you're mine."
"Fine, fine, I am all yours."
~~~
But he guess that they are really not meant to be with each other. Especially the time that Seth called him.
~~~ Flashback
Both Shion and Dark were interrupted from what they are doing when their phone rang. He answered his phone upon seeing Seth's name in the screen.
"Seth..."
(What happened Shion? I heard that someone trespass your house and you moved out of there? Where are you staying at? Also your assistant told me that you're not going to work for a week or more now.)
Shion winced.
"Calm down Seth. I am safe now. A friend save and hide me from my family."
(So it really is your family again. But whose friend is that? You never introduced a friend before.)
"Ah he is the guy I told you before who helped me from one of my costumers who ran amocked in the cafe."
(Do you like him?)
Shion got shocked from what he have heard. He didn't answered.
(I see, you like him.)
"We're both guys."
(I know, and I understand you. But you will never be happy because of your family. They never know that the heir of the mafia family likes men.)
"I know."
They went silent for a while.
(I'll be back immediately after this. Wait for me.)
"Thank you. Take care Seth."
The call ended. He automatically smiled when Dark looked at him with an annoyed aura.
~~~ End of Flashback
'This indeed is a big mess.'
"We are here now young master."
He went out of the car and look at the huge mansion in front of him.
After more than two years, I am in front of this mansion again.
"This way young master."
He walk right after their men. They are leading him to the office of his dad. The house didn't even changed a bit since the last time he was there.
When the door of the office opened, he saw his dad and his big brother in front, looking at him intently.
He stared at them too. Estimating how he would greet them after being absent for more than two years.
"Sir, he's here."
The right hand of the mafia family said. Breaking the cold atmosphere.
"Leave us now."
Shion flinched upon hearing his father's voice.
"Yes sir."
All the men went out of the office. Only the three of us remained.
"D-dad -"
He got shocked when his dad threw a vase near him.
"What do you think you're doing Shion?! Don't dad me after leaving more than two years!"
Shion lowered his head.
"Dad, calm down. He's here now. You don't have to worry anymore."
"Shut up Grim! He needs to be punished!"
"Dad, that's too much. He doesn't nees go through that!"
"He needs to be punished so he will never attempt to leave this place and to leave his task here."
His father's voice is dangerous. He can tell that he's mad. Really mad.
"Bring him in the basement an hour later."
Shion's dad said and left. he look at his older brother.
"Shion. how are you doing? how have you been?"
Shion smiled a bit.
"Should I really have to answer that brother? I know you have been eyeing me from the start."
"Sorry lil' brother but I can't just let you out of my sight. I am worried about you."
"I know. thank you for not telling dad and keeping me away from him."
"It's all for you lil' brother. I missed you, a lot."
Shion's eyes can't help but to tear up. Of course he missed his older brother too.
"I missed you too a lot brother."
They both hugged each other.
"I have to be prepared. I guess I'll be wasted later."
Shion joked.
"No, I will tell father to stop it or I will take part of your punishment."
"Don't. I will do it. I also want to punish myself."
Grim can sense loneliness and regret in his little brother's voice.
"I called Seth."
Shion look at him immediately.
"W-why? W-will he be punished too? He's just helping me. He's out of this."
"Calm down lil' bro. I am always talking t him about you. Father will not punish him. Besides, his family is a friend of ours."
"W-what? I-I thought, he's a stranger to us."
"Do you like him?"
Shion got strucked. He looked at his big brother.
"What do you mean brother? He's just a friend of mine."
"Then the other guy, must be."
Shion got nervous.
'Is he referring about Dark?'
Grim heaves a sigh.
"You don't have to look nervous in front of me bro. You don't have to hide it from me. I know you like men. especially when that guy approached you."
Shion gulp and tell the truth to his older brother.
"Yes, I like men big brother. and I left him just now for his sake. I am afraid that father will kill him because of me."
Grim smiled a bit.
'Ah, my little brother hasn't changed even a bit. Still a cry baby eh?'
He patted Shion's head.
"You did a great job lil' bro. Whatever your gender is doesn't matter to me. Protecting your love ones is the most important thing to do brother. Let's just see what fate brought you this time."
"I don't know how to tell this to dad."
He smiled at his little brother.
"He will understand. Just be yourself Shion. I got your back."
"Big brother. Thank you so much."
Shion hugged his older brother again. So tight that Grim can feel how thankful his little brother is. He missed this kind of moment.
