Bond By A Curse

A NEW FRIENDSHIP.

It was suddenly raining today, because of which there were lots of traffic problems going around.

It was already lunch time, but it looked like it was going to be dawn in any moment. It has already been an hour since Amon fell unconscious, and Lavender was taking care of him pretty well.

After a long while Amon got back to his senses, he winced in pain as he tried to open his eyes. It was raining because of which there was not much light in the room, it helped Amon feel a lot better.

"Ow! It hurts" he mumbled as he touched his horns. But for his surprise there was already some band-aids tied on it.

"Is it still paining?" Lavender asked who was lying on the other bed. Amon was stratled, he turned to look at his side. Amon was a bit astonished, when he saw him.

Because if he was able to touch his horns then it means that he is in his original form, definitely a huge devil, monster or whatever they consider them as.

He glared at Lavender for a while, he wanted to ask so many things but it was all stuck in his throat. Lavender was able to understand his situation, he chuckled and got up from the bed. He went to the kitchen and brought some soup for him, with the same energy potion.

"Drink this you will feel better" he said offering it to him. Amon looked at the soup in his hands then at him, he still had a doubtful expression.

Lavender smiled and said "don't worry there is no poison in it, I added the same potion that you used last time"

Amon widened his eyes in surprise

"Y.. you already knew it?" He asked in his original deep voice.

Lavender nodded his head and then slowly shook it in a denial. "I knew it that,there was a dark energy around me but didn't know that it was you" he said sitting on the edge of the bed.

Amon tried to shift a little, to which Lavender just giggled.

"I am not going to hurt you... Amon" he stressed the name Amon as he stared at him.

As soon as Amon heard this he went into a frenzy, this guy is so dimwitted then how come this guy suddenly become a C.I.D?

"How long did you know about it?"

He asked as he calmed down himself. Now that Lavender already knows his identity there is no use in hiding it anymore. It will be better to open up now, and clear the mistakes.

Lavender scratched his chin as he thought.

"Well, in the hotel a long time back there was a guy who attacked me. And from that time onwards I was careful to not let anyone come near me. Then after that when I was at your room for room cleaning, I felt a tremendous amount of dark energy but that was just for a second and it soon disappeared. So I was a bit more sensitive around me and....."

He paused and looked at Amon with some slight blush on his cheeks "when I was about to faint that day, you helped me but after that I forgot who it was. But when I went to take a shower that day... I noticed in the mirror that ..... There was some finger prints on my chest, which had a dark aura around it" he said in a shy tone.

Amon started choking on his saliva as he looked at him apologetically. He wanted to explain it but he didn't want to reveal the reason otherwise he might upset Lavender.

"I.. I.. was just checking for any injuries" he said a bit panicking.

Lavender was still blushing "you are very strong if that's the case, because it's hard to leave imprints if you haven't touched it strongly"

If Amon says that he didn't feel anything then it would be a lie. But he definitely didn't want to admit it, and now that he was in his original form.. he was able to hide his blush and heart beats pretty easily. He didn't want to say that he always mistook him as a girl and had undeniable feelings for him.

"And after that, you were ignoring me a bit. And today this.. accident happened, so I was able to confirm that it was you" Lavender pursed his lips as he finished his conclusion.

He was about to say something but was interrupted by a phone call.

*Bzzzz Bzzzz*

Lavender turned towards his drawer and picked up the phone, it was Sarina. He picked up the call and cleared his throat before answering

"Hello~" he used the softest voice.

Amon wanted to laugh but had to control himself otherwise they would doubt on them.

Lavender glanced at Amon and gave him a meaningful smile.

"Why? What happened?" He asked a bit concerned. He nodded his head "ok, ok. Please take care of yourself, and also.... I hope nothing happens between.. you two" he said wriggling his eyebrows even though nobody could see through the phone.

A loud shut up could be heard from the other side. After talking few more things he hanged up the call.

"What happened?" Amon asked.

Lavender looked at him and smiled "nothing, she said that she won't be coming home today. There are some issues because of the rain, so traveling back for now is difficult so they will be staying in a motel for today"

Amon nodded his head "oh" and they again went silent.

For a while they looked at each other not saying anything. It wasn't an awkward silence like he faced with Colin, but rather a silence filled with questions. He didn't know what to say now, will they be back to being friends like they used to be in the past.

Lavender didn't have the ability to read minds like him but he could definitely read someone's heart. He was able to understand his confusion and feelings, because he was facing the same situation.

A minute passed like that and Lavender decided to break the silence.

"Are you.. a bad guy?" Lavender asked blinking his eyes like a little kid.

Amon was taken aback for a while, the look on Lavender's face and what he said now.. this all reminded him of their childhood. He gave him a faint smile as he played along.

"Do..I look like a bad guy?" He asked acting a bit upset. Lavender then nodded his head, and widened his eyes in surprise.

"(Gasp!) Do you have a sword?"

Amon chuckled "yes I do"

They looked at each other and started laughing, it was the first time Amon laughed like this after so long. All the pain, every feeling of betrayal, and all that misunderstanding was slowly fading away from his heart.

"You still remember?" Lavender asked as he held his belly to laugh harder.

Amon nodded his head as he controlled his laughter. And after that they both returned back to their serious self.

"Well, I... Are we friends again?" Lavender asked looking at him a bit expectantly.

Even though Amon was feeling better now, but he still had many things to resolve in his mind. But, extending a hand of friendship won't be a bad thing right?

He then nodded his head "I guess"

Lavender was happy to hear that, he then smiled "Amon, I know.... What you have been through and also what you thought about me.. I understand everything" he said gulping down his saliva.

He extended his hands to touch the scar, but Amon flinched and tried to back up to escape from his touch.

"D.. don't" he said covering his face.

Lavender felt bad and the feeling of guilt could be seen in his eyes. He pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

"I am sorry, I know that.. you think I ran away from there leaving you to.. (sigh~) but it's not what you think" he closed his eyes for a while and then opened it.

"I was waiting for a chance.. where I could meet you again. So that I can explain to you everything, and.... Could apologize to you properly" he said looking him in the eyes.

Amon saw the sadness filled in his eyes, he had a hard time to look away from those captivating orbs

"You can... You have time now, explain me everything" he said a bit aggressively. Its not that he was angry or anything it's just that he wanted to overcome his sad past and wanted to understand his side of story as well.

Lavender looked at him, then outside the window. It was still raining heavily, and now they could hear the thunder as well.

It looked like Lavender was struggling with something.

"If you are saying that you didn't betray me then explain me what it is! I have been struggling with my past for so long, now I don't want to suffer with it anymore" he said raising his voice a little.

Lavender turned around and stared at him. "That.. that day... I was really scared, when I saw that you were in.. so much pain because of me. You were bleeding and crying on the ground I didn't know what to do."

He paused for a while and continued "I ran from there and went to find someone who could help me. But who ever I met, didn't believe me....or.. or more like.."

"More like they didn't want you to get in contact with a devil" Amon said it for him.

Lavender slowly nodded his head "I cried a lot, but they locked me in the.. green room. From where I was not able to escape, but... I was so persistent on meeting you that... I.. I jumped from the second floor in the hope that... I could fly to you"

Lavender was having a hard time breathing as he remembered the pain he suffered back then. "I... Was not good at flying that time... And also.. the room prohibited using any kind of magic or abilities. So.. when I.. I .. jumped I fell down, between huge rocks and stones. The shock was too much for me and... I blacked out."

Amon looked at him as he could see the pain on his face, he kept his patience and listened to him.

"When I woke up the first thing I felt was a whole lot amount of pain" he chuckled as he said this.

"It turned out that I crushed my wings because of that jump and... Now I have to depend on the pendent wings to fly. Though i don't use it much but still.." he tried to act cool but anybody could see his inner conflict.

Amon stared at him "you... Lost.. you don't have wings?"

He was astonished to know the truth. For Devils, their horns were the most sensitive part and for the Angels it was their wings. He could only imagine how painful it would have been for him to bare with that pain.

Lavender gave him a faint smile "don't worry... I could still fly using my magical pendant. And then after that incident it took a while to get back to a better condition, but I guess it was too late by then. Because whenever I came to the border to wait for you... You never showed up. And also the others didn't allow me to go anywhere... anymore. So I was not able to see you again"

He finished his story and sighed "I am sorry for.. hurting you, I always had this feeling of guilt inside my heart. It.. it always hurt me to think about it" it looked like he was about to cry.

Amon was very well aware of such feelings, he could emotionally resonant to him.

"I.. if possible, can you please forgive me for my mistakes" Lavender said in an extremely low voice, it sounded like he was scared to ask for forgiveness. Scared that he would be denied of forgiveness or maybe Amon would reject his feelings of guilt.

Amon looked at him for a while and then gave him a smile "Lavender, you... Suffered a lot just like me. Or maybe you suffered more than me, you lost something that was so important to you just because of me. I should be the one to apologise, I .. just hated you all these while just because of my misunderstanding. I didn't even try to look for the reason you didn't came back... So, I am in the wrong as well" he said. And it was all from his heart, he was not at all faking anything.

Lavender glanced at him feeling a lot better "so we should forgive each other and start new right?"

Amon smiled as he nodded his head "right, so..."

"So... Let's be friends?"

"Yes"

Amon no longer hated him for what he had done to him, he understood his mistakes and adjusted with the fact that he was in the wrong as well. He didn't want to plot childish revenge anymore, he didn't want to behave immature anymore. He was able to forgive Lavender as well as him, and this was a beginning of their new friendship.
