Alive (Boyxboy)

Confused

||Well, here's the new writing style I was talking about. I hope you guys enjoy it for future chapters~||

I had no idea how long it had been before footsteps resounded outside the room. It felt like hours, but I still felt unprepared to confront Griffin from what had happened.

I felt myself tremble as the door to the dark room opened and the larger man peered into the room.

"Baby... I know you're in here."

His smooth voice didn't seem angry, just..calm. Unconsciously, my body pressed itself further against the wall as Griffin finally saw me and walked closer. He took my small form into his strong arms, resulting in me flinching harshly. It seems he ignored it, because he didn't pause walking out of the room and into the hall. I squeezed my eyes shut in fear, shaking like a leaf as he thought about what he might do to me next. Why did it come to this? Well, he was my kidnapper; it seemed inevitable.

However, instead of the cold cement I was expecting, I felt the soft downy pillows and posh sheets of his bed underneath me as I was laid down. Griffin crawled in next to me and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me close against his side.

"...I love you, Haji Bear."

Loved me? He said he loved me. If he loves me, then why am I hurting? The confusion made my head throb even more in pain, and I began to sob softly against the man.

"Don't cry, my darling..," I felt his soft voice against my ear as he hugged me, trying to comfort me. It was silent for a moment afterword, but then his strong, smooth voice began to sing softly, filling the room. I listened silently, clinging to every word of comfort as I closed my eyes. My anger and confusion temporarily left the room as I pressed myself against him, needing his love and comfort more at the moment. Soon his song ended, and he kissed my forehead carefully.

"Rest now.. It's become late. I'll be here when you wake." I gladly obeyed, and cuddled the larger brunette for warmth, and he held me in his arms as I drifted to sleep quickly.

In the morning, I was woke up to kisses planted on my nose and pain. I blinked my eyes open sleepily, the back of my head throbbing terribly.

"Oww... My head hurts.." I mumbled quietly.

"Then let's get you some ibuprofen, baby." Griffin swept me into his arms, bridal style, and carried me into the master bathroom as I latched onto him while mumbling an "Okay" tiredly.

Neither of us spoke about yesterday; I silently sat on the counter as he rustled through the cabinets, pulling out two small pills. I silently swallowed the pills as Griffin pressed ice against the large bump and kissed it gently. "I'm sorry baby.." His apology was short, but better than nothing.

"I'm sorry too... I'm sorry I yelled at you.." I tried to justify that we both did something wrong, and I really did feel rotten for yelling.

"You were defending yourself. It's fine." he replied, holding his arms out and offering to carry me back to bed. ...He confused me so much. He said it was fine, but he punished me for it and told me not to talk to him like that. Griffin must have noticed my confusion because he bent down to my level, looking at me. "What's wrong? You seem off.." he asked as he picked me up. I leaned my head against his chest as he carried me.

"You confuse me.. You say things but you do the opposite." Griffin set me down on the bed and looked me in the eyes.

"I'm sorry, baby. It's just... You don't seem happy here."

"I'm not happy if you ignore me after any contact you make with me. I want to be with you. It's boring when I'm all alone." I replied, tilting my head to look up at him sincerely.

"What do you mean, Haji Bear? You want to date your kidnapper?" Griffin gently took my hand as I blushed pink at the idea of dating him. It was better to date..we were practically lovers anyway. I squeezed his hand, glancing up at him.

"Would you ignore me then...?"

"No..," The large brunette replied smoothly. "But I don't if that's a good idea, Haji. No.. It's.... not a good idea." My brow furrowed in confusion. But.. Why? Did he not love me?

"Then why did you say that...? Why would it be a bad idea?"

"Because... I don't even know. Never mind. Why would YOU want to date ME?" I tilted my head, even more confused. Even if he kidnapped me, he wasn't so bad.

"Because you're nice to me...mostly. I don't want you to be lonely. It's just dating." I stated bluntly. It wasn't as if we were going to be married or anything. However, Griffin frowned.

"I'm nice to you all the time! I've gotten you everything you wanted...!"

"B-But you yelled at me and swore at me and locked me in a shed for hours..." I warily pulled my hand out of his, afraid that I was upsetting him. The man glared icily at me, speaking sternly.

"And you did similarly. You're mine. You know that. You're my pet. I took you. You could have ran several times, yet you stay. I suggest you listen to me." Pet...?! Was I only a pet? I thought I meant more than that to him...
