Part 11

Satoshi kept running despite the hot tears that were running down his cheeks, blurring his eyesight. Why had he parked so far from the club’s entrance? Why hadn’t he taken notice of the black limousine around the dark corner? Why wasn’t he fast enough? Nino had asked him not to come… He knew that the younger one was convinced it was safer that way… he knew that he did it because he was afraid for him. So, he had decided to be close without his lover knowing it… but now, he realized it was in vain… because he was close but not close enough.

“Kazunari…” his voice was trembling.

His knees got weak when he saw his lover’s phone on the ground, still opened. The screen was black. It had broken from the fall. His hand trembled, holding it tightly. He couldn’t forget the way Nino’s voice echoed when he was forcefully pushed into the car. I promised to protect you and I did nothing… Again, I let you down… Soon, his whole body started trembling, not being able to move from the pavement. He could feel passers-by’s strange looks on him but didn’t care… All he cared about was him…

He curved into a ball as the sobs turned stronger, causing spasms to run through his body. He wanted to think clearly… he knew time was passing by and the more he let without doing anything, the more dangerous the situation was for Nino but he couldn’t… he felt like paralyzed… His heart was beating faster, in an almost uncoordinated way, he felt cold sweat covering him… he felt like drowning… his mouth opening and closing in an attempt to feel air inside him. He was feeling dizzy… lost… He knew this feeling well… Fear had conquered his willpower once again… like back then… and he hated it…

He didn’t know how long he had spent at the very same spot, when he felt a pair of hands pulling him up from the ground.

“Stupid!”

He frowned. He knew this voice. Sho… He clung onto his friend who held him tightly into a hug without asking him anything… because he knew… He had always been there when Satoshi suffered from panic attacks. It felt strange… Satoshi knew it was himself who was creating these unbearable feelings of fear; he could recognize the symptoms, knowing that it was his body overreacting to the bunch of emotions built up inside him yet he couldn’t win it… not when he had seen the man he loved the most being taken the way he had. He probably would have been able to fight it if it wasn’t for that sick, dangerous glow in that bastard’s eyes. He had never seen it before… They were always dark… possessive… but never like this…

This time, Satoshi knew everything… They had spent all evening after Sho was gone to speak… Nino had opened up, cried, spoken out his fears, insecurities, revealed all those things he was ashamed of… He had done the same. He’d opened his heart completely to the man he loved… because he had been right from the very beginning. He was right when he believed he was seeing the love in Nino’s eyes… it had really been there. They had cuddled… keeping one another close… finding all the comfort they had been missing mainly from his stupidity… and now… they were once again apart… Nino was in danger… Satoshi wouldn’t care, if it was him. He could bear anything, if it was for Nino to be safe but that wasn’t the case… and that was something that Satoshi couldn’t come to accept, causing him to break down.

Once he was able to breathe somewhat normally, he was made to walk towards his friend’s car, Sho holding him with both hands.  

“This wasn’t your fault.” Sho told him looking into his eyes seriously, once inside.

Satoshi sighed. The other knew him too well to be able to hide. “I wasn’t able to protect him, Sho! I let him-” his voice weak.

“This might actually be for the best…”

Satoshi’s eyes bulged at his friend’s last words. Had Sho really just said that Nino being caught by Hina could be… for the best?! He wished he could punch him but his body wasn’t powerful enough due to the earlier shock so he let his palm land with as much force as he could find on Sho’s cheek. Tears were threatening to run down his cheeks once more.

Sho, though, didn’t grimace. “It was expected to happen…” he said calmly.

Satoshi frowned. What?! “Sho, what the-”

“When I came to the hotel earlier I noticed three guys at the reception area…” Sho cut him off. “They were holding a foreign book each, I guess as a security measure… so that others wouldn’t come and talk to them. They couldn’t expose themselves. Yet, three things caught my attention. They were supposedly reading English books yet they were reading them the Japanese way, they obviously were together but didn’t exchange a single word all the time I spent there, pretending to check the promotion leaflets close to the reception table, and lastly, they were both sitting in a way that they had perfect view of the two elevators leading to the luxury suites. I could see from the corner of my eye that every time the elevator sound was signaling an arrival, they’d immediately look up. In other words, they were Hina’s men.”

“And you… said nothing!” Satoshi couldn’t believe his ears. “I saw no one following us but you… you COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING!” the CEO exploded, suddenly filling up with anger. Minutes ago, he had been feeling desperate, frustrated. “SHO, YOU-”

“It would be more dangerous, if I told you something.” Sho replied in the same calm way. “You wouldn’t be able to control yourself. You’ve already punched the guy. A part of me admires you for that but acting with not much thinking can lead to something you’d regret; not only you but the one you care about the most. We’re talking of yakuza, Satoshi! Someone who doesn’t give a shit about anyone and anything. He took down his boss, not fearing if that could cost his head in case of a misjudged move. He’s fearless and ruthless.”

“You should have told Kazu not to go the club-”

“I made a call. Once I received the one thing I had ordered, I came to your suite without having them notice me. They didn’t need to be alarmed…”

“But-”

“If you knew and Nino didn’t go the club then, we’d put not only you but also his younger brother in danger. You know well that that bastard has it for nothing to hurt anyone. He had to believe, his moves had remained unnoticed.”

“By putting Kazu in danger…” Satoshi mumbled devastated. His heart was still beating crazily in his chest. He couldn’t believe this was actually happening. He was breathing heavily with his eyes closed. “No… It was me the one who put him in danger… it’s my fault…” the words came out weakly.

“If someone touched the person I loved, I’d probably react the same. But I don’t think that your action added much to that asshole’s decision. He’s obsessed with him. The moment he’d feel that the power over him is fading away, he’d make sure to do everything possible to keep it. To keep him.”

“Maybe… but he wouldn’t make his move this early. I-”

“You couldn’t let Nino be touched by him again. Satoshi, I would have acted the same… I told you that-”

“And what’s the point?! Nino is with him now…. If he was tortured before, now, he’ll…” a sob made the last word disappear. The CEO couldn’t continue.

“Before I left the suite, I placed a bug on Nino’s clothes with voice recording.” Sho spoke as he turned his gaze to his friend. “Whatever might be said it will be recorded. I haven’t left him alone.”

“And how much can you trust the power of the men you know?” Satoshi asked, feeling more and more frustrated. “Kazu is…”

Sho sighed. “It’s not them. From the evening, I first spoke with Nino, after the party, I realized I had to contact the police.”

---

“I think it’s about time we speak, Matsumoto-san.”

Sho could see how the host’s eyes bulged at the sound of his real surname.

“You know…?”

“Not everything and that’s why I think it’s about time you tell me what exactly is going on between you and this… man… or am I supposed to call him your master?”

Nino clenched his hands into fists, his eyes closed tightly. It was obvious to Sho that he didn’t like what he was hearing… and that added to the way he had rejected him at the club before.

“Follow me…”

He walked to his office and let the other enter. He kept his head lowered. ‘Defensive…’ Sho thought, his eyes looking at the other, narrowed. ‘I hope you speak openly…’

“I think here, we’ll talk without being interrupted.” He walked around his desk and sat down on his leather chair. “I’m listening.”

Nino, though, remained silent.

“At first, you’re telling me to make sure that Satoshi is happy and then, I find you kissing him in my bathroom.”

Sho saw Nino closing his eyes tightly, his hands clenching into fists at each side of his legs. It was obvious that the younger man wanted to talk back but tried to control himself. Sho had heard them in the bathroom when he had gone to see if his friend was ok. He could easily reveal everything to Nino but this wasn’t the time. He needed to keep his distance, at least, until Satoshi decided himself to let the other back in his life. What he had to do, was to be done secretly.

“Don’t you think that you give me lectures when in my own house, you try to play your game?” Sho said firmly.

Nino flinched. “Game?! YOU speak of games?! You are the one who came at the club!”

Sho rested with his elbows on the table, his eyebrow raised, as his eyes narrowed, looking at the smaller man intensely. “I came to your work…”

“And yet, you… you asked me to-”

Sho smirked. “Do what you do with others.” He cut the host off.

Nino didn’t say anything in reply. What could he say? He was the one who did that job; he was the one who slept with his richest clients…

“I came because I knew you had seen us with Satoshi and wanted to see you in person. Because I have seen you, too… with that man… You seemed quite into him, the last time I remember…” Sho tried to use an ironic tone. He had to provoke the other to speak up.

“I don’t have a choice…” Nino mumbled under his breath without realizing what he was actually saying.

Sho frowned. “What do you mean?”

Nino bit his lower lip guiltily. He wasn’t supposed to say anything; not to Satoshi and certainly not to this man who he still didn’t know who he was. “Nothing…”

Sho stood up and came to stand by Nino’s side. He grabbed his chin and made the host look up and meet his eyes.

“I repeat… what do you mean by saying ‘I don’t have a choice’? Is that man forcing you to be with him?” Sho could see the tears that kept building up in the other’s eyes. “Tell me!”

“I have nothing to say!” Nino yelled louder and turned around to leave.

Sho had his suspicions but needed the other’s admission to have the police investigate on a different basis. He hurried to catch the other by his arm, not letting go unnoticed the way the other moaned. Without saying another word, he rolled the other’s shirt up to his elbow. He was right. There was a bruise… a fresh bruise.

Nino tried to pull his arm in vain. “Let me go.”

“Why do you allow people to use you?” Sho knew he was harsh but somehow, he wanted to wake the other up… to realize his mistake.

“You’re one to talk…” Nino replied with a bitter smirk.

“I had the right to do it” Sho replied in a cynical way. “…since you allow it… My question is why?”

Nino looked up at the other. “Because I may like it!”

“No, you don’t.”

“I-”

“If you liked it, you wouldn’t try desperately to hide it. You have stiffened, your voice sounds strained. You’re ashamed of it.”

“You know nothing.”

“I may know more than you think. I am the one who helped Satoshi discover this… relationship of yours with that… Hina… if I’m not mistaken…”

“You…”

“He asked me and of course, I couldn’t let him down. I care for him.”

“And yet you came to me…” Nino said sadly. His voice had turned weaker and weaker.

“I wanted to see with my own eyes the one that caused Satoshi all this sadness. You’re cute… I have to give you that… but apart from that you’re nothing but a coward.”

Nino gasped. “Let me go…”

“You let everyone use you…” Sho continued, not giving the host the chance to go.

“I didn’t let you use me…”

“Because you know about me and my relationship with Satoshi… or… at least, that’s what you think!”

“Let me go, Sakurai-san…” Nino had given up. He just wanted to go.

“I can’t unless you answer me why you do that.”

“You wouldn’t understand.”

“Explain then.”

Nino sighed deeply. “Why do you insist so much?”

“Because you told me to make sure Satoshi is happy.”

“Then, do what you-”

“That’s what I’m doing. Answer me!”

“Because I deserve it! Ok?!” Nino yelled right on Sho’s face, feeling the anger conquer him, filling his eyes up with tears of desperation. “I deserve being used this way. What goes around, comes around. I let Hina into my life, out of free choice, so, now, I face the consequences but that has to do with me! Got it? Me!” the host managed to push the other away. He was about to open the door when he heard Sho’s voice.

“We always have the right to choose. We are our choices, Matsumoto-san. Don’t forget that.”

Nino said nothing more. He left the office, leaving a frustrated Sho behind.

The latter sighed. He had tried to push the other but nothing seemed to be strong enough to make him speak. That bruise was alarming. He picked up his phone. “It’s me… Things are worse than I expected. I’ll be expecting you here, in an hour.” Sho ended the call and looked at the now closed door of his office. ‘Even if you don’t believe me, I do make sure that Satoshi is happy… because his happiness is depending on no one else but you.’

---

“The police is already tracking them down. Hina won’t have the chance to touch him, Satoshi.”

Satoshi’s lower lip started trembling before a painful moan escaped from his half-parted lips.

Sho hugged his friend tightly. “Along with everything they have in their hands, they’ll be able to catch him in the act. He’ll spend the rest of his life in jail, Satoshi. He’ll pay for everything.”

“I… I just want Nino not to be hurt… He can’t be hurt anymore, Sho! He has suffered enough… and that bastard… he has raped him so many times and-” the CEO felt his heart beating too fast. He needed air. He closed his eyes, his hand on his chest. His lungs were screaming for air.

“Satoshi! Satoshi! Breathe!” Sho shook his friend’s shoulder. “Look at me and breathe in the rhythm I count. One… Two… One… Two…” Sho kept repeating.

Satoshi focused on Sho’s calm voice. After a couple of minutes, he was able to calm down again.

“I promise you nothing will happen to him.” Sho reassured his friend once again. “Trust me!”

They remained in Sho’s car in complete silence.

Satoshi’s gaze was glued up in the dark sky. “Why hadn’t you explained to him the reason for visiting his club?” he asked Sho out of the blue. “Before you came, he still thought of you…”

“Not in the best way.” Sho resumed Satoshi’s sentence. “I tried to provoke him, to frustrate him. He wouldn’t open up to you, so I was sure that he wouldn’t open up to me either. I hoped that way, he’d feel frustrated enough to tell me something but that wouldn’t be the case. I happened to see one of the bruises that monster had left on his lower arm. It was then that I realized how complicated the things were and got a clearer image. I had thought to talk to you but judging from the way you had left my house, I knew it would be difficult. It was when, Jun-kun came and asked me your address because he wanted to talk to you, that I realized this would be the best choice. If there was someone, you’d listen to, that would be him and then…, you’d give the other the chance you both wanted and needed so much. And you did. You gave me the information that along with mine were able to complete the file needed for the police to take action. You went to him.”

“We were just starting over, you know…” the CEO whispered without looking at his friend. “…with no more secrets, misunderstandings… but with trust, devotion… love… and now, I-” a small sob escaped from the back of his throat. “I fear that-”

“He will be safe.” Sho repeated once again, in a reassuring tone.

“Sho…, take me to the police.” Satoshi turned his gaze to his friend. “I want to be there.”

“Satoshi, I don’t think this is the best idea.” Sho said earnestly. “You’d only feel-”

“I’ll go crazy, if I don’t. Please!” Satoshi cut Sho off, sounding desperate. “I just want to be there for him, as soon as possible.”

Sho kept staring at his friend for several seconds when his phone rang.

“Yes? Ah! Masaki… you arrived at Jun-kun’s house? Alright. Stay there… We’ll come all together later. Make sure he stays calm and doesn’t leave the house.”

Satoshi looked at Sho bewildered. “His brother… knows?”

“Nino apparently was talking to him when Hina got him. Jun-kun immediately gave me a call. This kid is way too smart for his own good. I managed to reassure him that his brother wasn’t in danger.”

“But he-”

“Hina won’t kill him. Unlike you or Jun-kun. He is obsessed with him… He wants him alive.” Sho took Satoshi’s hand into his, giving it a small squeeze. “Trust me, Satoshi.”

“Then, take me to the police.” Satoshi insisted.

Sho let out a long sigh, knowing that there was nothing he could do to change his friend’s opinion. “Fine.” Satoshi saw him scrolling down his phone screen before making another call. “I’ll be coming along with Ohno Satoshi… Have they-?” Sho looked at Satoshi before he mumbled an ok and ended the call.

“They have stopped moving, a little outside from Tokyo.”

Kazu…

Satoshi heard the engine of the car starting.

“We’ll get them, Satoshi. The police is already on Hina’s way.”

The CEO didn’t reply anything to his friend. His eyes were locked outside the window. He could feel his heart rate getting faster but tried to calm it down. He had to stay strong. He had to be strong for the man he loved.

Wait, Kazu… just a little bit…

***

Nino frowned as he opened his eyes with difficulty. His head was spinning around and his eyesight was blurry. He couldn’t remember when or how he had fainted… From the way his head was aching, he could tell that he had been drugged. He was lying in the middle of a king-size bed, thankfully, still clothed. He tried with difficulty to sit up a bit and looked around blinking a couple of times, trying to recognize his surroundings. The room had a dim light coming from the lamp on one of the bedside tables. He couldn’t recognize anything familiar. It wasn’t the usual room that Hina would take him. It must be in his house… with the rest of the yakuza…

He tried to take a deep breath to ease his nervousness down and stand up but everything span around causing him to fall back on the bed. He closed his eyes, concentrating on a possible noise, something but he could hear nothing. Was he in Hina’s bedroom, and if so, where had the other gone? It was weird to have left him alone. Even if it was dangerous, perhaps too dangerous, he needed to escape away from there… He knew what would follow, especially if he took the number of Hina’s men around the house into consideration but he had to try. He didn’t want to experience it… Not now, that the other was more pissed off than ever.

He took a deep breath and tried to stand up one more time. This time, he didn’t fall. With small, not very steady steps he walked towards the door. He grabbed the doorknob but it didn’t move. It was locked. A bitter smirk appeared on his lips. What had he expected?! He tried once more when suddenly, the lights turned on, causing him to freeze at his spot. He heard steps coming from the side until they stopped right behind him. A hand came to hold his and take it away from the door, squeezing it with force that made him moan.

“Where do you think you’re going, puppy?”

Nino felt all his hairs standing up, as a cold shudder passed through his body. The words were whispered so close to his ear that he could feel the other’s hot breath landing on his skin. He was pressed against the other’s body gasping when he felt a hardness poking his lower back.

“Answer me, puppy!” this time Hina spoke in a more threatening way.

“I… I wanted to find you…” Nino whispered in a trembling voice that could barely be heard.

“No lies, puppy.”

“I-”

Nino was turned around with such force that made him lose his balance and fall onto the taller yakuza. “You wanted to escape. Last night, you followed him. You chose to pass the night together with that sleepy CEO when you could escape and come to find me.”

“I-”

“I’m not stupid, puppy.” Hina said as he let his right hand come to trace Nino’s jaw, moving up to his lips. “I know you despise me but I also know that you…” he leaned closer so that their lips were almost touching one another “are mine.” He bit Nino’s lower lip painfully, making the younger one shriek. “You will always be mine… or is it that you have forgotten it?”

Nino closed his eyes. He hadn’t forgotten. He couldn’t…

---

Nino fell breathless on the bed. It had already been more than an hour since Hina had started toying with him. It had always been intense but lately, he couldn’t take it anymore. He didn’t want to meet with him any longer. He didn’t feel any pleasure… his body was only reacting physically.

“You were great as always, puppy!”

He turned his head in his side and saw the older next to him, completely naked, with his back on the head of the bed, smoking. He took a deep breath and tried to sit up himself. He flinched when pain hit him harshly. This time it was all his body that ached, covered as it was with bruises. He liked rough games since they reminded him of his worth as a person but even that had its limit.

“Hina, I-”

He didn’t have the chance to finish his words. His hair was grabbed painfully, pulling his head backwards. “How have I told you to call me?!”

Nino frowned but kept his eyes open. “But now, we’re not-”

“I think you’ve misunderstood something, puppy. I’m not your master for as long as I shove my dick into your warm hole and fuck you.”

“But-”

“You have objections?! Do you really think you’re in position to utter objections?!” the other said in a warning tone that sent thousands of cold shivers down Nino’s spine. It was the first time the other spoke like this. “Do you know that you owe to the big boss? Do you know, puppy, that if it wasn’t for me, your whole family would be, now, dead?!”

Nino’s eyes bulged.

“You really thought that escaping from Singapore would make us lose your traces?! Let me tell you. Neither yours; nor your family’s… and that, as you probably have realized by now, applies to your little brother, as well!”

Nino gasped.

Hina, on the other hand, smirked, bringing his hand from the other’s hair to his face, cupping his cheeks by the jaw forcefully. “If it wasn’t for me, puppy, none of the famous Matsumoto family would have escaped. I did it because I care for you… Don’t you think that I deserve something back?!”

Nino felt hot tears in the back of his eyes but desperately blinked them away. He needed to remain strong despite the feeling that the world around him was falling apart.

“I didn’t know…, m… master…” he whispered with difficulty.

The moment he whispered the last word was pulled into a wet, demanding kiss. He didn’t resist; he opened his mouth and let the other use it however he wished. After what it seemed an eternity, the kiss was broken. Nino let his eyes meet the other’s dangerously darkened ones.

“You are so perfect, puppy…” there was a wide smirk on Hina’s face; a smirk that made Nino feel as if he was punched on his stomach. “And you will always be mine…”

Nino could only gulp.

“Aren’t you happy, puppy?”

Nino closed his eyes. “Of course, I am, master. I’m happy I’ll always be yours…”

He heard the other growling. Obviously, Nino’s words had a string effect on him, arousing him once again. In one fast move, Nino felt Hina pushing him on his stomach, taking his hips up into the air before pushing back inside him. It was that very moment that Nino felt as if his life was taken away from him. He was trapped… or more correctly it was him that had trapped himself… but had to accept it… for Jun…  

---

“I haven’t forgotten it… but… you lied to me…”

An evil laugh echoed in the room, making Nino’s heart clench painfully. He knew the other was dangerous. He had always known but now, even more.

“You know everything, don’t you, puppy?!” There was a sarcastic tone in the other. “But that means that you also know that I’m the big boss. The very one who no one dares to defy. Yet you did! I think you know what is that supposed to mean, don’t you?!”

“Why would you do that?” Nino asked without looking at the other. He didn’t want to meet those hateful eyes.

“It’s simple, puppy… because I wanted to see you coming to me… every single time… You can’t imagine how satisfying that was for me…” Hina tilted his head to the side, the dark smirk never leaving his face. “From the moment, you decided not to, I couldn’t help it but take you myself.” His hands grabbed Nino’s buttocks pressing him against him. “No matter what that asshole has told you that gave you the illusion of being able to be free from me, you’ll never be able to escape from me, puppy! Never…! Because you’re mine!”

“I’m not.” Nino whispered with his head lowered. “I’ll never be.” A harsh slap landed on his cheek but Nino felt no pain. He couldn’t… “You may think that you have my body by violating it again and again… I may have been coming back to you but I did only because I was obliged… I paid for my mistakes… so, in a way I had accepted it but my soul wasn’t and won’t be yours… Never!”

Before he could grasp what was happening, he was thrown on the floor with force. His hands were held on his back by the wrists, forbidding him any possible move. “Don’t tell me…” Hina hissed angrily in his left ear. “Your soul belongs to him?! To that sleepy, short one who wants to call himself a CEO?!” a strained loud laugh came out from the back of the yakuza’s throat. “I would have never guessed that someone like him fucks that good… he certainly doesn’t look like it! Or is that he lose it in the bedroom…? Is that it? Does he toys with you until you’re on your limits? Does he talk to you the way you deserve it? Is it that he’s still new and you haven’t gotten bored? Or is it that he has it big? Is his cock satisfying your requirements like the little whore you are?!”

Nino could feel more and more the restrictive pressure on his back but had decided not to let the other speak of Satoshi the way he did. He could feel all the hatred and the jealousy in every word spoken and Nino couldn’t allow it. He had never spoken against Hina… he had never even considered it in the past, but at this point, after having known everything, he felt he didn’t have to fear about consequences. The other would do to him all that he wanted and had planned whether he tried to be the obedient puppy the yakuza wanted or not. He was trapped but at least, now, he knew that there wouldn’t be a consequence to the ones he loved. There was no debt, so, automatically there wasn’t an immediate threat towards Jun and he knew that his little brother wasn’t alone… even if he wasn’t there, Jun would be protected by many people.

He took a deep breath before speaking. This time, he was determined to show Hina how much he despised him; he hated him… that he wasn’t afraid of him. He could kill him but he could never have him. Now, that he knew that there were people who cared for him without judging him, he felt more powerful… for once in his life, he’d stand up. “He hasn’t fucked me…” he said in a firm tone. “He never did! He couldn’t…. because he’s not a monster! Unlike you!” Nino yelped when Hina grabbed his hair with force backwards. 

Nino was forced to meet the latter’s full-of-anger eyes but continued, feeling his heart pounding faster in his chest. “He has made love to me… again and again… And yes! He’s good… the best I’ve ever been with and like the whore I am, as you said, I have slept with many. I have fucked with many. But none of these fucks could ever surpass all that he gives me. He makes me insatiable… he makes me scream out loud, he makes my body writhe in pleasure and that can go on for hours and hours… always leaving me craving for more. He knows me like an open book… I let him discover me… and he let me discover him. I’d do anything he’d ask me to because I want it… because he’s the only one that I allow to take everything I have to give… and I give it freely.”

Nino smirked, his eyes locked on the yakuza’s face. “As for his cock… you’re nothing compared to him. He stretches me in a way that you could never do… I guess Mother Nature decided to give him there the centimeters that according to you miss from his height… He’s ten times the man you’ll ever be able to be!”

“Quite presumptuous, aren’t we?! I think we should work on your manners…”

“Presumptuous because you can’t accept the fact that he’s better in bed than you?!”

A harsh slap landed on Nino’s face. There were angry tears on the other’s face. “Shut the fuck up, bitch!

“Why are you surprised?! If you were smart enough, you’d have known that with you, I always pretended...”

“Whore!” The yakuza yelled and grabbed Nino up from the ground. He threw him on the bed. “We’ll see who’s better.” He climbed on the bed, securing Nino in between his legs. “I’ll make sure you scream the loudest you’ve ever have in your entire life! I’ll fuck you until you won’t be able to walk for months! I swear I’ll break you… break you until you admit that you’re mine! Because no matter what your little useless mind believes, you are mine, puppy… from that moment you followed me out of that bar in Singapore!”

Nino didn’t try to push the other away. He knew there was no point in doing so. He closed his eyes as he felt one by one his clothes leaving his body. It was done in a hurried way. He had provoked the other and now, he’d face the consequences but somehow, wasn’t afraid… probably because he felt complete inside, with no more questions and doubts. Hina couldn’t break him no matter how much he tried. He had the ones he loved and loved him back. He didn’t have the insecurities he faced in the past… not anymore. When he felt the other turning him the other way, pressing his nape against the pillow and spreading his legs wide open, he could only think of Satoshi… My love… once again, I’m sorry…

For a moment, he thought he was hearing voices and sounds from outside the room but couldn’t think clearly at the moment. He tried to empty his mind and lock it away. He took a deep breath, preparing himself for what would follow. It wouldn’t be the first time his body would be violated by the older man. His hands instinctively grabbed the sheets underneath him as he waited for the pain to strike his body from the unwanted brutal intrusion but it never came.

He frowned. What’s happening? It was then that he realized the voices he had been hearing were now closer. He wasn’t alone with Hina in the room anymore. He could hear him curse in a way he had never heard him before. So, whoever these people were, weren’t wanted there. He tried to move but couldn’t. He had frozen… He suddenly felt exposed in the worst possible way. His body started trembling when he felt a cloth being thrown on his back, covering his nakedness and then… he felt someone wrapping his arms around his waist pulling him up in a sitting position. His eyes filled with tears. He didn’t need to see whom those arms belonged to. He knew their touch well. A sob left his throat. He was there… Satoshi was there.

“Everything’s over, Kazu… You’re safe… and free…” This voice… this whisper that reached his ear… it felt so melodic… so soothing… like a balsam

Nino clutched on the other, gripping his hands, as if his life was depending on it. He let himself being hugged from behind for several seconds but that wasn’t enough. He wanted to see him; he wanted to be sure that this wasn’t a dream… that he was really there for him, with him, holding him protectively. He slowly moved and with some help from the other, he managed to turn around just to meet the most beautiful eyes, staring at him, covered in tears. A feeling of relief filled his soul. With the corner of his eye, he could see more than twenty men, others dressed in black and others in dark blue, checking everything in the room while others taking Hina away. Policemen?!  

He wanted to speak… to ask… he had so many questions but no matter how much he tried, his body wouldn’t cooperate with him. He couldn’t. Suddenly, he felt everything spinning around once again… His eyesight turned darker. He could hear Satoshi’s voice repeating his name but couldn’t answer back. All the power he had gathered to face Hina was now leaving him. Everything was too much. He let his eyes close. He had no more powers left in him… but at least, now, he knew he was safe.

Satoshi opened the door trying not to make much noise. He walked towards the bed where his lover was lying. His left hand was being held by Jun who was sitting on the chair next to the bed, asleep.

“Jun-kun?” The teenager frowned as he opened his eyes. “You can go. There’s Sho and Masaki-kun waiting for you outside.”

“But…”

“You should take some rest. The doctors said that it’s only due to the stress. He’ll be waking up from minute to minute and I’m sure he wouldn’t like it, if he knew that you pushed yourself too much. I’ll be here with him and if something new takes place, I’ll immediately tell you. Ok?”

Jun looked at his brother once more before he hesitantly stood up. “Alright, Ohno-san.”

Satoshi smiled reassuringly at Nino’s younger brother before he sat on the same chair once the door was closed. He looked at his lover who was sleeping peacefully. Last night, he had felt his heart breaking into thousands of pieces. He had heard what that monster was telling to his lover… and when he followed the policemen into the room and found Nino naked, in that position in bed, all he wanted to do was to take him into his arms and never leave him. The way the fragile body of his lover had trembled, weak in his arms was enough to make him consider how stupid he was to let all this time pass… how stupid he was for having let Nino experience such pain without giving him the chance to explain. Of course, now, everything was in the past, but the images were too vivid every time he closed his eyes.

Seeing him losing his senses, had given him a fright. Had the other hit him this badly? Was something wrong? He couldn’t stand the idea of something being wrong with the one he loved. When the doctors checked Nino, after they rushed him to the hospital, they told him that it was due to the drugs the other had given him combined with the amount of stress he had been under. They had reassured him that he was fine and that he needed to rest so that his body could find its balances once again.

He took his lover’s hand into his, holding it gently. “I’m sorry for not being there to protect you, my love… I’m so sorry… I promise I won’t let you down ever again…” He had his eyes closed tightly in an attempt not to let himself break and start crying silently.

“You… really are… stupid… you kn… know… tha…t?”

The words were spoken in a whisper… with difficulty but they were spoken. Satoshi had heard them. He snapped his eyes open and turned his head to the side, not being able to believe that Nino was there smiling at him… looking back at him with his beautiful eyes. He frowned… Are these tears?

“Kazu…? Are you ok? Why are you crying?”

“I’m happy…”

The answer came to make Satoshi’s heart skip a beat. “I’m sorry, my love... I-”

“I didn’t let you come. It was me… but… even in that… room… with…” Nino closed his eyes and took a breath before continuing “…him, I felt stronger than ever… because I knew… you loved me… truly loved… me… I wasn’t afraid… He wouldn’t break me, Sa… toshi…”

Satoshi wiped Nino’s tears away and pressed his lips softly on his lover’s forehead. “Shh… It’s over. The asshole is where he belongs. You’re safe, my love… No one will ever touch you again! No one!”

“I know…”

The CEO brushed his fingers through the soft hair. “I’ll go to call for the doctors, alright? And if they judge you can leave, I’m taking you home.”

Nino limited himself to a simple nod. He was still weak. Satoshi was about to turn and walk away from the bed when he heard his lover speaking again.

“Satoshi…?”

Satoshi looked into his lover’s eyes, a smile making his lips curve. He leaned closer to him. “Yes?” He could feel Nino’s short fingers touching his cheek. He tilted his head to the side, pressing against them, needing to feel them more before he placed his hand on top of them, cupping them.

“I love you…”

“I love you, too, Kazu… more than my own life!” He pressed their lips together. It hadn’t been too long ago since he had last tasted them but he had never felt missing them more.  

He got out of the room in the search of the doctors. For the first time since the previous day, he could feel his heart beating in a normal rhythm once again. Finally, Nino would be happy… they would be happy… without anything in their way… not anymore.

TO BE CONTINUED…

 A.N. Sooo minna here's chapter 11!! ^^ This was the most difficult one to write as it had Nino with Hina.... First, Satoshi had gone to the club but wasn't too fast to get Nino. I think, though, that this way it was probably safer because otherwise he'd put  not only himself but also Jun in danger. We also found out what the conversation between Sakumiya was at Sho's house. Nino had his reasons to call him 'bad guy' in the previous chapter. Sho still hadn't revealed much. That had to happen between Ohmiya as it did! Now, my poor Nino somehow was strong, being able to face the other! I didn't let the bastard have his way with him - Satoshi rushed to protect him but some violence was expected. At least, that way Hina will face all types of charges and won't be able to get back into Nino's life and get what he deserves. I wanted some fluff at the end of the chapter between Ohmiya - and one cute Matsumiya moment! ^^ The next one will be the last one, followed by a small epilogue. It will be fluffy and happy!!! I promise you!!! The angst is finally over! :)

I really hope you enjoyed it and as always your comments, even the small ones, are <333!!!


See you very soon,
Andy <3
