Last Exile Fan Fiction ❯ Dio's Curious ❯ Who is the real Dio? ( Chapter 13 )

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: WHO IS THE REAL DIO?

 

Lavi awoke that evening seeing the sunlight fading from her room as the sun set, she felt miserable and just wanted to sleep the rest of this day not thinking about her escape or Claus's retreating form she had seen earlier. She rolled onto her side facing the wall telling herself not to cry that surely Claus would see how unhappy she was sooner or later and ask her what was wrong.

 

Lavi a jump and shouted out in surprise as she was startled by someone clearing their throat she wasn't aware that any one had entered the room. She quickly rolled over sitting up when she saw Dio's form lounging in a chair as he lazily gave her a smile. Lavi quickly looked to the door like a dear caught in the head lights of a car but snapped her head back to Dio when she saw that it was closed. She didn't care all she wanted to do was get away from him so she slid closer to the door keeping her eyes on him the whole time.

 

Lavi quickly stopped when Dio pulled out a key from his pocket a large smile on his face as he shook his head from side to side. Lavi looked back at the door in defeat as she saw that the only way to lock it or unlock it was with a key. She slowly pulled her feet up on the bed hugging her knees to herself setting her chin on the tops of her knees as she waited for Dio to speak.

 

Dio gave a short laugh loving to torment Lavi as his mind added that she just looked so sexy when she was sad. He decided to have some fun with her as he said

“If you are hungry we could always go to the cafeteria, we might even see Claus and Tatiana.” Dio let another laugh escape his mouth as Lavi's eyes grew big and she quickly shook her head no. Dio sighed giving a hurt look he said

“Well I am hungry so I guess I could bring you a tray up a little later after all you are eating for two.” Lavi's eyes narrowed as she murmured a quiet whatever quickly pressing her lips back together in anger, she knew that he had said that on purpose but at the moment all she wanted was for him to get as far away as possible.

 

Dio stood walking over to Lavi lightly kissing the top of her head feeling her shrink back from him but he didn't care she would pay later when he wasn't hungry. He put the key in the lock unlocking the door then stepped out of the room closing the door behind him quickly locking it and replacing the key back in his pocket he happily skipped down to the cafeteria hoping to have some more fun there.

 

Lavi released her knees closing her eyes as her stomach growled but as hungry as she was there was no way that she would let Dio parade her around in front of Claus she would rather starve nodding her head in agreement. When she opened her eyes she quickly looked around the room for anything that she could use or do for him to let her out of her room. Her eyes fell on her robe tossed over the back of the chair that Dio had just vacated, the wheels in Lavi's mind started to turn as she thought YES a bath, I can say I want a bath and even if he does follow me he can't come in because it is a women's bath.

 

Then it hit Lavi that he had entered the bath before but she quickly thought of how she could say she needed some privacy and that she would tell him that he could even wait outside the door if he liked. All Lavi could think of was how wonderful it would be to have sometime alone and away from this horrible room, a bath would feel so good on her sore muscles. And with that Lavi started to think of how she would ask after eating and the details, she no longer cared about anything other than how good it would feel to have a bath and what Dio had said about that night, she surely hadn't made him mad and she smiled as she thought about the whole bed to herself and no groping hands.

 

Lavi got off the bed cracking some bones as she stretched. She looked around the room that now seemed her prison noticing how untidy it was and since she didn't have anything else to do at the moment she started picking up thinking that when she was done she would at least have a clean prison cell. A small giggle escaped her mouth, Lavi quickly brought a hand up covering her mouth surprised that she could even laugh after all that had happened. And when another escaped she thought that she really had gone mad but once she knew that her small bout of madness had gone she dropped her hand and started picking up her clothes throwing the dirty in a pile and the clean back in the trunk she started towards the bed pushing in Dio's chair as she passed. Standing over the bed she quickly ripped the sheets and blankets off and started to look for clean ones finding some in the side table glad that in her other room she had always changed her sheets herself mainly out of habit.

 

Lavi paused holding the clean sheets closely to her thinking about how she had always cleaned up after Claus. And she quickly fell to her knees sobbing into the sheets wondering if Tatiana cleaned up after him now or if he did it himself and if he could replace her as quickly as it looked without even telling her. Her mind left the after note that as far as Claus saw it Lavi had already replaced him with Dio.

 

She took the sheets from her face throwing them at the wall screaming a high pitched NO! And then she just sat there staring out into space sobbing out of hurt and anger banging her fists on her knees throwing a full out tantrum. Lavi was so engrossed in the hurt that came from were her heart was that she didn't even register the metal click or the door opening.

 

Dio had almost dropped Lavi's tray of food when he heard the scream coming from the room down the hall. He had quickened his pace with his face set in straight lines, he almost dropped the key as he fumbled around for it quickly unlocking and opening the door. And a frown appeared on his face when he saw Lavi throwing an all out fit on the floor like some spoiled brat. A thought occurred to him as he shut the door behind him that maybe he had pushed her too far but walking to set down the tray he thought to himself that no matter what it was necessary to complete his plan and he didn't see the harm in having some fun while doing it.

 

Dio turned hands on hips staring at Lavi's back he couldn't believe she hadn't even noticed him. He reached a hand out shaking her shoulder thinking that he would put a stop to this and right now.

 

Lavi almost fainted in surprise when something shook her and not very gently at that. She dried her face on the sleeve of her now wrinkly dress and then got off the floor turning and dropping herself on the edge of the bed. Lavi slowly raised her bloodshot eyes to see Dio with hands on hips a frown on his face she inwardly cringed at the thought of how mad he looked, Lavi had never really seen Dio frown before and she decided that she didn't like it.

 

Dio looked Lavi up and down, then looked around the room taking in that it looked tidier except for the sheets crumpled against the wall. He gave a sigh walking over to the sheets picking them up and setting them next to Lavi who shrank away as his sleeve brushed her arm. He placed himself on the other side of her turning to look at her he put an arm around her shoulders using his other hand to tilt her face toward him. He could see that she was scared and gave her a reassuring smile as he used his thumb to wipe away her left over tears feeling them soak into his glove. He then took his hand away scooping up her legs and sat her on his lap now hugging her with one arm around her shoulder and the other around her waist.

 

Lavi was stunned she had never seen Dio act this way before but she was so tired from her fit that she decided to enjoy it while it lasted. She berried her face in his chest with one arm over his shoulder and moved her other arm around him clasping her fingers on his back. She almost jumped when she felt him lay his head on top of hers but quickly calmed herself down she could feel him lightly rocking her like a small child and she smiled for the first time in days. She couldn't help but wonder if it had all been a horrible dream and if the Dio that now held her was the true Dio and she decided that she actually like this Dio.

 

The two sat that way for a long time until Lavi's stomach gave another growl making Dio giggle. He slowly released her as she did him, her head hung low a slight blush across her face. Lavi felt sad that he had released her and wondered if his other side would show soon or if he would stay the same.
