Abyss Of Greed [Bl]

Chapter 11

***

"You see, I was exiled."

***

Andrian has been faced with many problems, but he wasn't really the type to complain. Once when Andrian was a small boy that his pet puppy died-- even so, not a single tear had came out from his eyes. Some people, particularly his friends and even strangers thought he had a heart of stone or that he never cares-- they were all mistaken, of course. What they didn't know was that Andrian was a good actor, he was good at hiding his feelings-- and that talent of his had surely benifited him all his life.

"You see, I was exiled." Andrian said in a painful smile and it was obvious. His tears gushed out his blue eyes and he laughed in pain when he realized he couldn't stop himself from crying. Gulliver had this shocked looked on his face, but then he never comforted him. He stood there just looking at Andrian crying his eyes out.

"I'm sorry, but can I talk to you about this?" Andrian said, wiping his tears off with his arms, his white long sleeves were turning gray from all the tears. He was sniffling and his nose had a red- kind- of- shade on it. "Actually, it's okay if you don't listen."  He said, waving his hands 'no' and blushing. He obviously wanted someone to listen to him but then he realized he was being too clingy and preposterous for their so called 'employee - employer' relationship.

"You can tell me." Gulliver said still not looking and Andrian was in a state of shock-- he even widened his eyes. "That's actually so nice of you." Andrian said, took a short pause and then said with a sneaky grin, "I wonder why you're so willing to listen. It's suspicious."  He was clearly teasing him and Gulliver was easy to tease so Gulliver stomped hurriedly like an angry child and he faced Andrian with less than an inch apart!

"I cannot actually believe I was being kind to a measly human like you!" Gulliver said hitting Andrian's chest with his pointer finger. Andrian was too stunned to even speak-- he just went blushing in a rage. And it didn't take long for Gulliver to realize that they were close-- too close! He immediately took a step back, his face went red and Andrian took a deep breath. "Come on, I was teasing you." Andrian said gleefully.

He took another deep breath, readying himself to share his life to a stranger which is a God-- and which is also his boss.

Gulliver sat back down the creaky wooden box as he cleared his throat forgetting what just happened a few minutes ago. The room was dark and they could tell it's already afternoon and it was very quite.

Andrian closed his eyes for a second and smiled a bit as he said:

"When I was a kid, I was often mistaken as a girl-- even in the present , people think I'm a girl." Gulliver was just silent, he also thought that Andrian looked very feminine but he kept quite and continued listening to him. "Well, to no doubt, I'm more of on the feminine side than the masculine side. Everyone I know has this first impression of me-- it didn't really matter much, well at least to me, it didn't-- but to my dad, it was an insult." He said laughing a bit. "My father is a well know noble-- he is more infamous than famous though." He said and paused a bit.

"So you're a noble's kid." Gulliver asked with some kind of despise in his tone, but Andrian did not mind this and replied him with a quite laugh and a yes.

"This might really be weird though, but I'm quite different from other kids. I never really took a liking to any girl-- instead I was attracted to my bestfriend, my childhood love-- he is a guy." It was an awkward moment as he said this and he just sighed. Gulliver, however, upon hearing this 'tsked' a bit and had a somewhat frustrated expression on his face. Andrian didn't really get to see Gulliver's reaction as he was looking away, so he continued the story.

"I confessed to him and of course, I was rejected-- I expected that, but I didn't expect that my father would hear about it. I heard that my bestfriend had told my father about me confessing to him and my dad went on a rage. He locked me up and even tortured me every now and then-" Gulliver's eyes widened as he heard this. He looked at him but Andrian wasn't facing him. Andrian had a blank expression on his face as he stared at the windows as if there was something to see.

"I never really cared about the torture, about me getting locked up in an empty basement, what hurt more was that my own bestfriend told my dad-- when we agreed not to and-" With that statement, tears just gushed out his eyes, he was sniffling and coughing-- his eyes widened as firm arms held his small body in a tight embrace-- his face rested on his broad chest and he did not care. He cried and cried-- letting out those painful memories that he'd been keeping for himself as he kept telling the story he was finally able to tell.

"And, and- I felt insulted. I was insulted!People were looking at me like I was some monster-- and for what? For loving someone. I don't get it, Gulliver-- what's so wrong about n- not being like other people."

He kept crying like a baby in Gulliver's arms as if he was his own mother. Gulliver had this pained look on his face as he sensed all those emotions, all those desire of wanting to love someone when the world tells you not to.

Andrian clenched on Gulliver's clothes, he buried his face on his strong arms as he weeps.

"Maybe I don't deserve love, maybe I'm the one who's wrong after all."

Andrian said as he looked up, his face was all red from all the crying and as he met Gulliver's gentle gaze he said those words.

Gulliver couldn't believe that such an energetic and happy boy was actually carrying all this burden by himself. Both of them couldn't understand-- Why is love unfair? Why are people unfair? It all just didn't make sense.

And with a smile, Gulliver said:

"Don't listen to them. Cry your heart out as much as you want. I am here, always."
