Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Ice and Snow ❯ chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Author's notes:

I'm going to finish the play in this chapter, and the ending is really different from the original one. I wanted the play to be dramatic, so I had to change the play. And so, please feel free to tell me something you have in mind... I might add it.

And, this might be the last chapter, depending upon my mood.

 

Chapter 5-

 

"My prince, I will never let you go. I'll never let you be taken by anyone else. I want you to stay here with me." Reion spoke as he held on Shou tightly.

They were alone. They barely escaped the castle just before it collapsed. Yes, everything was still fresh. That night, they were under attack. Reion managed to save the prince, as to their majesty's request. They were able to run to Reion's hut. Then, they were able to stay there. It has been a month since. Shou haven't recovered from the trauma of loosing his parents, and now all he has is Reion, who have been very loyal to him. "Please stay... Reion..." He cried silently as Reion held him tighter. Reion cupped Shou's chin, and moved it a little bit higher to see the prince's face. "I will never leave you, my prince. We'll be together, as long as you need me."

"Then I know we'll be together forever.... I need you, Reion... forever." Shou snuggled his body to the bigger one, and Reion hugged him closer. He was rudely interrupted when he heard footsteps from afar. "Someone's coming, and they're many. Let's go." He said as he packed up their things. Shou helped. Once they're done, they left immediately. But, to their dismay, the soldiers had caught up with them, cornering them on the hill of snow. "Hehe, we finally managed to get you, Prince Shou of Astaria. Your death shall be the mark of our kingdom's birth!" One soldier said. Reion put me behind. "You have to get through me before you can even touch the prince!" Reion drew out his sword.

 

Then the battle commenced. The prince and Reion fought bravely, but in the long run, they were no match for the enemy's numbers, and so, they ran for the woods. Once there, they rested a bit as they were able to hide for a few minutes.

"Shou, I'm sorry if you will not go through with this, but I swear I'll protect you with my life."

"Enough. I don't want you to die. I want us together. If you will die, then I'll die. No objections. End of story. What is life without someone to share it with? It'll be pointless without you."

"I knew you'll say that. I'm not afraid to die for you, Shou." He kissed his lover on the forehead.

"Me too. I'm not afraid to die with you."

 

It was not long before the soldiers found them, and Reion drew out his sword once again. After the fierce battle, Reion was near exhaustion. Some soldier managed to stab him in the stomach, making him cry in pain. Shou ran to him, and was stabbed the same way as his lover. Both of them, lying on each other. Then, some soldiers came, but they were Astaria soldiers. They made their way to fight off the soldiers, leaving the prince and Reion there, lying on the snow, hugging each other as their blood becomes one with the melting snow.

 

"Reion... I love you... And I'm happy that you have been the first and last person I loved."

"You were my first and last, Shou. I'm happy that I was able to meet you. I love you too, my precious, Shou..." They kissed one last time, and tightly embraced each other just before they collapsed and leave their body colder than snow....

 

Lifeless, they were with each other till their body's death. They were even buried together, since they were literally inseparable.

 

"Reion... do you have regrets?" Shou asked as the two sat together at some mystical place beyond imagination.

"No. Do you?"

"No. I'm actually happy that we died." He looked at his lover with shining eyes.

"Why is that?" He asked in curiosity,

"Because, I can now literally spend eternity with you."

He smiled. "Same here. And, there will be nothing to separate us, my love." He said as he cupped his hand on Shou's cheek.

"I love you too, Reion." And then their lips touched, tasting each other's desires and needs for one another.

 

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

 

Everyone was clapping. The show was a success. Nagi and Daisuke made their way down as the crowd greeted and congratulated them. After that, they made their way on to their own home. They slept.

 

And there he was, on the rooftops of the school, staring at the setting sun, until a voice removed him from the dripping crimson.

"Why should you care?" Nagi asked arrogantly.

"Because...."

"Because what?" Nagi's arrogance faded, now replaced with concern due to Daisuke's tone.

"Because... I love you..." Nagi's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe Daisuke would say that to him. He wasn't angry at all, but still, it surprised him.

"Please say something." Daisuke said, rather awkward.

"I... I don't know what to say..." He looked down, as if saddened.

"I see. Then, this means goodbye." Daisuke turned around and left.

"Wait! Please, don't go!" But, Daisuke kept on walking away. Nagi desperately tried to reach on...

 

BAM!

 

He woke up in the most discomforting position; he had literally fallen off his bed, smacking his face on the floor. He looked at the clock, and read 9 AM. 'Shit, late for class.' Then he made his way quickly and ran to school. To his surprise, he was on time. 'Sai must've changed the time... evil little sister...' He could almost imagine her laughing vilely.

 

Class recess. Nagi fixed up his things, and he saw Daisuke got out of the classroom. He followed him. He had found himself on the rooftops, and the vague images of his dreams popped out on his mind. His breath tightened, and his body, shivering. Daisuke opened up the door and found the startled Nagi. "Zefi-san, what are you doing here?"

Out of words, he gave the first thing in his mind "I uh... want to have lunch here." 'Smooth... really smooth...'

 

(Nagi's POV)

 

"Ok." He moved away, letting me through the door. He sat down to where he had sat before. We had eaten lunch together, but not beside each other. There was... a certain distance. I could tell that's he's keeping his distance from me. Heck, I tried moving closer, and he moves farther. Damn. This guy's a big problem. "Mori-san..." I called him before I even knew I called him. Am I becoming more and more stupid every passing day?

 

"What?" I thought he would be a bit irritated when I called him just when he's about to leave. I didn't expect him to give me a casual reply. "I... uh.... sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I... uh... Don't know..."

"Make up your mind. If you have to apologize about something, then you have to tell it to me next time. I have a class." He gave me a stare "Apparently, you have one too."

 

'Shit.' "Yeah. Bye."

 

 

(Author's POV)

 

After class, Nagi went to the rooftops. It was one of his favorite places. It was peaceful and quiet there. Plus, the breeze is quite nice, and it's a good view.

 

And there he was, on the rooftops of the school, staring at the setting sun, until a voice removed him from the dripping crimson. "Who?"

"Quite rude, Zefiric."

"I have a name, Daisuke."

"Alright, Nagi."

"What the hell do you want? And another one, what the hell are you doing in my dreams?"

"Me? In your dreams?" He gave Nagi a weird look, and then closed his mouth with his hand. "It can't be... you're having fantasies about me?!"

"In your dreams, bastard" Nagi replied, a little bit enraged. "I don't know anything about me being in your dreams... please explain." He became serious.

"You were... different back then..." His words were weak.

"Different in what way?" His brow rose, looking at Nagi with suspicion and curiosity.

"You were... kind..." He blurted out.

"Then I must not be kind to you." He said calmly. "I must be going. And, if you excuse me, I'll be out of your life forever." Daisuke turned and left. Nagi was startled by the last of his words. 'He'll be out of my life forever... what does he mean by that?'

 

The next day, Nagi went to class. Daisuke was never there. The next day was the same, and so the next day. His curiosity and anger grew, he asked for the adviser to tell where Daisuke is.

 

"He was accelerated. He's now a junior." She said calmly.

"He's WHAT?!"

"He was informed a week ago. He had no hesitation in taking it." 'That's about some days before he said he would leave me alone forever. Did he mean that, really?' "Where is he now?"

"Class 3-A."

"Thank you, ma'am." Nagi left and headed to Class 3-A. He saw Daisuke at the door. "Daisuke!" He shouted, startling Daisuke as he looked to see Nagi. "Nagi? What are you doing here?"

"We need to talk. Right now. No excuses."

"I told you I'm out of your -"

"BULLSHIT. Shut up and follow me." He ordered. Daisuke followed.

 

There they were, at the rooftop. Nagi had locked the door, leaving them alone for quite some time. "What the hell is your problem?" Nagi asked in fury.

"I should be asking you the question." Daisuke said.

"Don't play with me; I know you know what I'm talking about. Why did you leave me like that?"

"I'm bothering you, right? It's only proper that I should be out of your life."

"BULLSHIT." He said angrily. "I never asked you to be out of my life. Now, cut the bullshit crap and go back to being a sophomore." He kept silent. "Say it." Daisuke's head lowered until his eyes are not visible anymore.

"And I thought you were kind." He said, in a breaking tone. "You were not. I made you angry. I feel like hell. I just died, right? Yeah, maybe that's it. I died and went to hell. Now I'm suffering the worst punishment, being disliked and hurt by someone special." He shoved off Nagi's hand. "Here, take your goddamn ring. It doesn't matter anyway." He ran off. 'What did he meant by 'someone special'?'

 

He went home and straight to bed. It was already evening, and he's dead tired. He remembered everything back at the rooftop.

 

(Flashback)

"I'm bothering you, right? It's only proper that I should be out of your life."

"BULLSHIT." He said angrily. "I never asked you to be out of my life. Now, cut the bullshit crap and go back to being a sophomore." He kept silent. "Say it." Daisuke's head lowered until his eyes are not visible anymore.

"And I thought you were kind." He said, in a breaking tone. "You were not. I made you angry. I feel like hell. I just died, right? Yeah, maybe that's it. I died and went to hell. Now I'm suffering the worst punishment, being disliked and hurt by someone special." He shoved off Nagi's hand. "Here, take your goddamn ring. It doesn't matter anyway." He ran off. 'What did he meant by 'someone special'?'

(End of flashback)

 

'Someone special... Daisuke... it can't be...' He said as he looked at the ring. "You're so quiet, Daisuke... When will you ever talk?"

 

The next day, he found what he wanted. Daisuke's back in the class, but there was something different about him. There was pain every time he talks with me. I can tell. What I can't tell is why there is pain. I had to know, but I know I can only cause him pain... what is there to talk with him if I would only cause him more pain.

 

(Nagi's POV)

 

"Brother, you look very pale lately." Sai looked at me with those mind-reading eyes. My sister has been so good in empathy. "Tell me what's wrong."

"It's just... school." I told her while I sat down on the couch. And turned on the T.V.

"Is it school, or something else?" She looked at me with suspicion. "What are you implying?"

"Brother, I know you. And I know that you know I'm able to read anyone like an open book." Yeah, she can do that. That wonders me as much as it disturbs me. "It's that Daisuke Morizukawa, right?"

"What the hell?"

"Calm down." She giggled. "I was only guessing." I hissed. "Well, I guess it was him."

"Right..."

"So, tell me, what's it about him?" She asked as she sat down beside me.

"I... we were evading each other lately..."

"Bro, as much as I hate to tell you, you're pretty harsh when it comes to reality." I looked at her, seeing me dumbed-out. "And I think I know why he doesn't approach you."

"Why?"

"Ain't it obvious? He's trying to get close to you, and you're just hurting him. Then, he felt rejected and moved away completely." 'He did that?'

"I don't hate him."

"Then you love him?" My eyes widened, but I didn't for long. "I don't know."

"Brother, you can find that out on your own." She replied. "But right now, you must apologize to him." I went to my room after that little talk. I can't sleep thinking of Daisuke. Hell, I must've hurt him much. He doesn't deserve it. I'm just hurting him... Damn...

 

(Sai's POV)

 

Brother's so dull. He's in love with Daisuke, and he's in denial. Little does he know that Daisuke loves him too? At least, he knows it. I phoned Daisuke. "Daisuke-chan?"

"Yeah? Who is it?"

"This is Sai. Nagi's little sister."

"Oh, good evening. What is it that you want?"

"I want to talk with you for a while... Don't worry my bro's fast asleep. Can we meet by the park? Right now? OK?"

"Sure." He dropped the other line.

 

I went to the said place and found him there, sitting on the bench. "Hi, Daisuke-chan."

"It's a bit late, so let's get this fast."

"Oh, I don't think you want it to be over fast." I told him while I sat down beside him. He looked at me with those confused eyes. Why does everyone have those kinds of eyes? "I know you have feelings for my brother."

"What?"

"Drop the act. I know. I can tell. I won't tell anyone, if you're worried about that." I assured him.

"Yeah, something like that. I like your brother very much. Wait, check that. I love your brother very much."

"I think he likes you too, but he's in denial."

He dropped his head. "You worry to much."

"Are you torturing me, young lady?" He said.

"No. Actually, I'm trying to help you out here." He looked at me with surprise. "Brother would need someone like you. You see, he's never been so emotional... I think you and him make a good pair."

"You're mocking."

"Am not." I giggled. "By the way. Here's your ring." I gave him the silver ring. "He won't find it out. And I placed it on his ring finger, just in case you want to know." He put it on his ring finger.

"And, try not to talk to him for a while."

"Why?"

"Coz I had it all planned out. Eventually he'll come running to you. Promise that."

"I don't know..."

"Do you want him?"

"Yes."

"Then believe in me. I may be his little sister, but I'm more than what meets the eye." With that, I left him.

 

(Daisuke's POV)

 

That Sai girl sure is mysterious. But, she gave me hope. I love Nagi very much. Very much. I can't even recall when I fell in love with him, but surely, it was around the time we first saw each other. I haven't had the chance to confess, since I don't want to break anything. Plus, I got my moment at the play. I get to kiss him twice there. It was more than an act for me.

 

I walked back to my home. Halfway there, a text message came to me from Sai.

"Be careful on your way home... you'll face a terrible accident. But, in that accident you'll soon find out something. In any way, you'll eventually feel a bit happy." 'Is she psychic or something?' She's pretty weird, for a little girl.

In a moment, a truck came to me and before I knew it, it hit me...

 

 

Author's notes:

Ouch... to much POVs here... plus, Dai's not dead, if you're thinking. It's just a turn of events... plus the fact that I'm writing this on 12:47 AM, and I have a class on 10 AM means I'm not in the mood to make some love at the moment.

Oh, comments are open. Plus, I'm taking my rest now. Good night, everyone.
