Hearts desires

~*~*~*~*Chapter 19~*~*~*~*

 

Base slowly slipped in through the window, glad Eiji had lent him some human clothes to wear. It would have been awkward to sneak into Yuudai’s hospital room naked.

 

It seemed everyone had been sent home for the night, all visitors at least were gone. He could hear the doctors and nurses in the halls walking along and chatting. He looked back at the window and waved to the smaller brown haired man. Eiji slipped in through the open window and walked over to the bed.

 

Yuudai looked horrible, sick and deathly pale. Eiji sat on the bed beside Yuudai running his hand through the sticky sweat drenched hair. He let out a soft sad sigh. Yuudai was an unbelievable beauty, yet seeing him in such a horrible state made his heart sink.

 

“Next time brother… do not fuck with my gifts to humans… I will kill you.”

 

“Believe me, there will not be a next time.”

 

Eiji placed his hand over Yuudai’s head. A soft blue light formed over the smaller teen’s head and soon surrounded his body. Eiji pulled his hand away and smiled softly. Yuudai was no longer deathly looking. He looked like he was sleeping peacefully.

 

Eiji leaned forward, his lips almost touching Yuudai’s. Base let out a soft growl, his eyes flashing into a murderous rage. Eiji glared at his brother.

 

“In order to stop anyone else from removing this ‘gift,’ I need to seal it… You could do it Base but you are not nearly as strong… Idiot… It’s a safety precaution to make sure you don’t fuck up... again.” Base glared. He didn’t move… he just glared.

 

Eiji leaned forward again, his lips touching Yuudai’s. He felt a spark of electricity course through him. He closed his eyes, slipping his tongue into the younger teen’s mouth. Yuudai tasted sweet, like wild ripe strawberries. Eiji’s hand began to run along the boy’s chest. Before Base could react, Eiji was already on the floor, his eyes wide staring at the boy on the bed.

 

Yuudai was sitting up on the bed, his eyes narrowed at the smaller wolf god on the floor, his hand still raised from where he had slapped Eiji off him. Eiji smirked softly. Yuudai was so rough, he liked it.

 

“Y-Yuudai! You ok?” Base stepped forward, but stopped when Yuudai’s glare shot at him, and darkened. Yuudai was pissed. No… pissed was an understatement. Yuudai was furious.

 

“I do think my molestation is nothing compared to the pain you put him through, dear brother.”

 

Base frowned at Eiji again. Sometimes he really wished Eiji would just go die. It was impossible but he really did wish it. Base stepped forward towards Yuudai. He wanted to try to talk to him, tell him how sorry he was, but Yuudai’s eyes just darkened more -if that was even possible.

 

“Do not touch me Base. Do not come near me.”

 

Base felt his heart breaking. He never meant to cause Yuudai such pain. He never meant to hurt Yuudai so much. He was stupid, he was just so jealous that Yuudai was opening up to someone other than him! Base wanted Yuudai to open up just to him, to love him as much as Base loved Yuudai!

 

“Y-Yuudai… Please…L-let’s talk.”

 

“Talk about what?! You…you have no idea… what I went through! You will never understand! And probably never care enough! Get out!” Base frowned; he turned towards Eiji motioning his head for the other to follow.

 

“Eiji can stay. I can at least trust him enough not to kill me.”

 

Base frowned, resisting the urge to growl at Yuudai. He was a bit of a hot head, and at the moment Base wanted to beat Yuudai, but he knew it wouldn’t settle anything if he attacked him. Base took an unsteady breath and jumped out the window landing on the ground with a soft thump. He glanced at the window once more before walking off down the road. He would lay low for a while.

 

Eiji stared at Yuudai. He knew something bad had happened after Base had let his body get harmed again. Yuudai may have been mad, but he wasn’t mad at Base for what he did, he was emotionally broken. He was cracking and didn’t want Base to see him in this weakened emotional state, but he also didn’t want to be alone. Yuudai was broken. He wanted someone to help him, even if it was someone like Eiji.

 

Eiji slipped onto the bed beside Yuudai. He watched the boys hands clench and unclench on the sheets and Eiji pulled Yuudai onto his lap, holding the boy. Yuudai sat there, shocked for a moment, staring at the larger man. Once he was sure Eiji wasn’t going to molest him, Yuudai curled up close to Eiji’s chest, his face buried in the man’s shoulder. His body began to shake with each sob.

 

Eiji held Yuudai. He would let the boy cry as long as he needed. Eiji would be the comfort Yuudai was seeking. It wasn’t the first time, though Yuudai probably didn’t remember after his rape crying into Eiji’s chest all night. Eiji enjoyed the closeness to the beauty and Yuudai needed someone to cry on, someone to support him.

 

Eiji allowed the boy to cry for almost an hour, before Yuudai’s sobs became nothing more than sniffles and hiccups.

 

“Better?” All Yuudai could manage was a small nod. He was tired, mentally and physically. He actually didn’t understand why he wanted Eiji around. The man had just tried to molest him not more than an hour ago, but Yuudai felt safe. Maybe if was the fact Eiji saved him that night, fixed him, and made it so it never happened, and now he did it a second time. Yuudai felt safe in the man’s arms.

 

“Do you honestly hate my brother?”

 

Yuudai was silent for a moment. He didn’t hate Base per say… he was just so angry, jealous, and upset that the wolf god seemed to always do something to screw his life up more and more. Yuudai shook his head slowly, his eyes closing. The scent of the wolf god pressing up against him was nice. Fresh pine and earth, it was a soothing smell.

 

“Why are you here…Really?”

 

Eiji smiled softly, running a hand along Yuudai’s long black hair, his eyes closed. “I actually find you very attractive Yuudai.” Yuudai’s face dropped to a deep frown. Eiji laughed nervously, shaking his head holding the boy close.

 

“I find you attractive, but I will never cause you any harm. I simply came to fix my brothers idiocy. He took my gift to you away, and I came to fix it.”

 

“Why do I feel safe with you… and literally no one else?”

 

“As I said before, I have no intention of harming you, nor have I harmed you. You will feel safe around me. It’s a normal feeling humans have when they meet a god.”

 

“But Base… I can’t be around him.”

 

“Simply because he has caused you harm. He’s the reason you were so emotionally broken in the first place yes?”

 

“… Yeah.” Yuudai laid his head against Eiji’s chest. He did feel safe in the god’s arms and he did enjoy his company, even though at first he was terrified by the wolf’s harsh actions towards him. Yuudai’s eyes began to droop. Feeling Eiji’s hands through his hair, he wanted to sleep. He was ready to end the day, figure this shit out in the morning. Yuudai slipped off into sleep while Eiji sat on the bed holding the smaller brunette close, running his hand through the long black hair. Gods hardly slept and tonight Eiji had no plans to close his eyes for slumber. He would stay awake and protect the human child. After all, there was a demon still running loose out there, one who had an eye on the brunette.
