Thank you to everyone who gave me reviews for the last chapter! I was kinda worried about what kind of response I'll get, but they were all good! And I noticed I made some mistakes in the last chapter, sorry!! But I've corrected it I think. Anyways last chapter! Decided to end it here, because I've got too much work to do for school and don't really have time to write.
Chapter 6: The End. Or is it?
Ahh… so warm. Ikki lay on his side, hugging the comfortable warm blanket tighter. He really didn't want to get up, his body ached all over from head to toe and he had no idea why.
"Mmmm" The blanket groaned. Eh? How can a blanket groan? Ikki lifted his eyelids, the moment he did so he wished he hadn't.
What Ikki was hugging ever so tightly was not his lovely warm blankie but the sleeping Agito, his sharp fangs bearing and eyebrows furrowed even in his sleep; however, that wasn't the thing that terrified him most…
Why am I naked! Why is he naked! Why are we naked! Why do my hands feel so sticky! What the fuck has Agito done to me! Masses of unanswered questions roasted his brain, dragging Ikki further and further into despair. It wasn't as if Ikki never seen Agito naked before, but that was Akito in the bath and it's an entire different matter.
And just as Ikki thought things couldn't get any worse, he tried to wriggle his arm free from under Agito but his hand met something slimy and plastic. Oh God, please don't let it be… Ikki picked up the thing and brought it from behind Agito to Ikki's line of vision.
"ARHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Ikki screamed such an earth quaking scream that the very walls, mirrors and ground shook and if extra-terrestrial life did exist they would have heard him on the other side of space.
Hanging from his fingers was a slimy, and used (so he assumes) contraption of contraception. Condom. A CONOM!? Ikki felt his life that was already being sucked away, jump out of his skin to the burning pits of hell.
To make things worse for Ikki once again, the curled up bundle stirred in his sleep under Ikki's jacket that covered them both waists down. Shit! How am I meant to run away now he's up!? Ikki stared on in horror, he felt far from lucky being in close contact watching a nude Agito wake up, which many people would have died for.
Agito rolled onto his front, his messy blue hair clung to his sweat-covered skin, covering his face in a demonic way. A pale hand raised itself, bones creaked and cracked into their places, and the hand fell dramatically to the ground, clawing the stone floor as it lifted the rest of the body up rigidly. Another hand aided the first in the same way, the joints between bones squeaked painfully like sharp nails down a blackboard. He flicked his head towards Ikki, a hungry predator to its prey, his golden shark eye shining like headlights through his hair, and he started to crawl on all fours towards him. It was the Ring all over again, it just had to be a twisted nightmare.
"Up already?" Agito sat up, running his hands through his hair to get it off his face and it settled back to its usual position, "I put your boxers back on for you… didn't want you to get cold," Agito sneered at him.
Colour drained visibly from Ikki's face then sudden anger enveloped him, "What did you do to me!" he demanded, as he thrust a hand forward and gripped Agito's neck, drawing him closer as his nails sunk deeper into his neck drawing blood which filled under his nails.
Unaffected by the nails digging into his neck or the fresh beads of blood bursting through his skin, Agito smirked, "You mean I was so rough on you, that you couldn't take it and you can't even remember what happened last night? How pitiful-"
"Shut up!" Ikki cut him off, whilst discreetly taking a peek under the jacket and true to his word, Ikki's boxers were on. How could I have let this happen!?
Catching Ikki checking he had his boxers on, Agito laughed inwardly, remember how he had fun last night, how he had thrown Ikki against the mirrors, almost shattering them, how he had kicked Ikki, all over his body. Whenever he started to gain consciousness, Agito would ram his head repeatedly against the floor, the mirrors, anything that was hard enough to knock him out cold again.
Ikki always thought that he could brag about his first time and beating the others, but this is certainly not something he wants to let other people know.
MWAAHAHAHAHAAAAA! That stupid crow, so gullible. Agito thought back to what happened the night before…
…The thuds of falling clothes followed the rustles of fabric forced off.
Agito stripped Ikki to his boxers.
Not wasting any time, Agito stuffed his hand in his trouser pocket and slipped out a small square packet. He tore it open to bring out a neatly circular plastic material, unrolling it in one swift action to get it over and done with and dropped the slimy object onto the floor.
"Hn," Agito smirked, time to fully pay back Ikki. Agito clenched his fists and his knuckles cracked.
A cold foot came flying through the air and caught Agito at his throat, Ikki growled like a wild wolf as his crushed Agito neck, pinning him down on the ground. "Don't you dare tell anyone about this."
The smaller boy raised his eyebrows, unaware of the pressure against his neck, remarking, "Like I would want to talk to anyone about you and you puny thing."
Hearing that relieved Ikki a little; not from being told his most private part was insulted for its size, but that Agito wouldn't be telling anyone about this 'little' incident, well at least he didn't think Agito had any reason to lie. Would he?
"Well, Akito would like to know…" Agito trailed off.
Ikki swore this could not be good for him, when does the nightmare end? He removed his foot from Agito's neck and squatted down; he looked at the floor unable to look at Agito, "Why?" he asked silently, more to himself, his voice fatigued, heartbroken and confused.
Startled by this response Agito sat up, face expressionless. Their bare shoulders brushed, their heads were level side-by-side, though facing opposite directions. "What do you mean, 'why'?"
Sighing, Ikki tilted his head backwards and looked towards the direction of the sky, it was always quiet when they weren't arguing, but this time, there was a feeling of seriousness with it. "Why would you want to do that? Akito will only be the one who's hurt most."
This boy is full of surprises today; Agito never thought Ikki would actually think about Akito's feelings. "Akito doesn't have to find out," Agito paused and turned his head to look at Ikki, "under one condition."
Instinctively, Ikki turned to face him, in response, waiting for the condition.
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE!" A beet red man wearing a construction site yellow hat, yet in a business suit yelled at Agito and Ikki, he was obviously the manager of the group of men behind him. "Cant you read!? There's a sign at the front that says. 'Do not enter. Cleared out, for refurbishment to start tomorrow'. Can't you do THAT somewhere else."
It's not surprising the man mistook Ikki and Agito for 'lovers'; 2 boys stripped to their boxers and looked as though they were about to kiss, in heated passion.
"So what's the condition?" Ikki lay on the grass slope along the river, with his arms under his head, watching the clouds drift by above them.
Ikki and Agito were fully clothed of course, the speed at which they ran (yes, ran, they didn't have time to put their A-T's on) from the amusement park was amazing, being chased of course with men armed with shovels and the like. They had found themselves an alleyway and got changed back into their clothes.
"I want you to stay out of Akito's life." Agito stood next to Ikki, with his hands in his trouser pockets.
"I refuse." Ikki answered instantaneously.
"What!" How could he just refuse straight away?
He sat up and smiled, "That is the one thing I will not do."
"Why not?"
"Because I really like Akito. I guess it doesn't matter if you do tell him, he'll understand that i like him, not you and last night was just a mistake."
Blood boiled within Agito, this wasn't working the way it was meant to, Fuck.
"You like Akito too, don't you."
"What gave you that idea!"
Ikki shrugged, "Seemed kinda obvious…"
"Even if I do it's none of your business," Agito snarled threateningly, "I'm never gonna let Akito be with you."
Ikki shot up onto his feet with a new determination burning inside him, "I challenge you to an A-T battle! If I win (which I will) you won't try interfere between me and Akito. If you win, I'll do whatever you say."
"You think too highly of yourself, crow. There's no point battling with A-T's, I'd win without even having to try. A simple coin toss should be sufficient…"
"…Leaving it up to fate," Ikki finished.
Agito fished a coin from his pocket, "Heads or tails?"
"Errr…. Heads!"
The coin flicked up high into the air, the sonorous ringing echoed intensely. They watched the coin intently; it slowed and fell back downwards. Agito caught it with high right hand and slapped it onto the back of his left.
This was the moment they were waiting for, which side was fate on?
At a snails pace, Agito removed his hand and the side of the coin shone up at them. It was Heads.
"YES!!!" Ikki thanked the Gods in the heavens above him, never had he felt so happy, even more than the feeling of flying high above everything else in the sky.
A small smile appeared on Agito's face and he reached up to switch the eye patch to cover his right eye, just before he did, he said, "You know, nothing really happened between us last night." And Agito was gone, and Akito gained dominance of the body.
"Ikki!" Akito called for him joyously, leaping into Ikki's wide unexpected arms, bringing them both down rolling on the grass.
Still too shocked to react to the news that Ikki and Agito didn't really have sex, Ikki just lay there on the grass with Akito hugging him like a child who found his long lost favourite toy.
Somewhere inside Akito, Agito grinned to himself, Just because I wont interfere between you and Akito doesn't mean I wont try to be with Akito. I'll just let you enjoy this time with Akito for a little while longer, there was still a glimmer of hope for Agito.
(End)I just want to finish this fic now, so yeah, crappy ending. Why? Because I have dragged it out too long (forgotten what I wrote before), I'm running out of ideas, and have masses of coursework for school. Besides! I have a great inspiration for a new Air Gear fanfic, but you wont see it for a long while yet!
