Fan Fiction ❯ The Pet ❯ Chapter 4

Daimion went into a panic as soon as he got his letter back from…Aki. Jordan was missing, but he had left all of his stuff at the school. All teachers and students had gone looking for him every day for over a week but hadn't found him anywhere on the school grounds. They believed him to be off grounds and on his way back to Daimion… at least, they hoped that was where he was going to…

Aki nearly fell over in surprise when he came face to face with Daimion the moment he set foot in the Slytherin common room. The poor blonde was hugging his knees to his chest and sitting on the dark leather couch, a small fire crackling in the fire place. He was clearly in a great deal of pain and in his mind Aki prayed it was from hearing about Jordan.

"Daimion?" he asked softly as he knelt down in front of the other boy. Daimion barely lifted his head to look into Aki's eyes. The left side of his face was nothing but a black and blue bruise, making Aki wince.

"He found out…" Daimion mumbled through swollen lips. Aki shushed him quickly and set a gentle hand on Daimion's bruised cheek, muttering a quick healing spell to help fix the blondes face. As soon as it was better Daimion had reached out and grabbed Aki by the front of his robes, yanking him forward.

"Where in the hell is he?!" he demanded, shaking Aki in his rage. With equal force Aki jerked himself away, barely catching himself from casting a petrify spell on Daimion.

"Chill out Malfoy," he hissed. "Like I said before, no one knows where he is. We're all doing our best to find him. Injuring me won't take the pain away!" Daimion glared but sat back against the couch, pulling his knees back up against his chest. Oh man Jordan…why did you have to go and leave…Aki thought sadly as he sat down beside Daimion. In an attempt to comfort the other boy, Aki slid his arm around Daimion's shoulders and hugged him gently. In the dimly flickering firelight, the two boys sat and cried, both praying for Jordan to come home soon.

(Two Months Later: March)

Aki smiled as Daimion's arm wrapped tightly around his waist as they walked towards the library, his head resting against his lovers shoulder. There had been no change in the Jordan situation, and it seemed that neither boy would get over the loss of the dark haired boy. It had taken weeks to get them to understand that Jordan would most likely never return home, and in a desperate attempt to heal themselves, the two turned to each other for love. That resulted in Aki's growing desire for Daimion, and Daimion's growing strength to protect Aki. Even Kalin feared him now, seeing as Daimion fought back against him the day after he and Aki had gotten together. It was a one sided fight, in Daimion's favor. The blonde had sent Kalin to the medical wing crying and nearly broken into a million pieces.

"Hey you two!" Tristan called as they entered the main hall in Bretton Academy (where Daimion and Tristan had transferred to). Daimion smiled and detached himself from Aki to give the other boy a huge hug.

"Good to see you too!" Aki laughed, as Tristan scooped him up off the floor in a nearly bruising hug. The two stood there talking for the longest time, seeing as breakfast was still 15 minutes away.

Their chat was interrupted ever so rudely by Alec and Niko running up to them. Both boys were out of breath and nearly white, both talking at the same time. Aki held up both hands.

"Quiet! One at a time!" he nearly yelled, making both shut up for a moment, before Niko started to talk again.

"Jordan's alive…"
