Alive (Boyxboy)

Demented

|| Here's the new update! I got a new phone with a bigger screen so it will be easier to update from now on. Onto the story~||

'Pet..?' Was that all that I was to him? I thought he said I wasn't a pet. I remembered clearly..
"B-But you said..!" Griffin ran his hand through his hair and sighed in exasperation at my broken expression.
"Geez, can't you take a joke? I said you're not my pet, and I meant that." The dark haired man shook his head, gently placing his hand on my trembling head. A joke.. it was only a joke.. I released a shaky sigh and glanced up at him.
"Why did you say that then..? I understand if you're really bipolar, but--"
"Nonono, I'm not bipolar. It's my experiments.." Griffin's mumbles were barely audible as he took a seat on the bed, sighing once again. "Let's not talk about that." Inching closer to him as I noticed his temper was cooling off, I watched him with worry.
"Griffin.. if I'm to stay here, you need to tell be what's going on.." He was silent for a moment before glancing up at me and patting the bed next to me.
"C'mere, Haji Bear, and I'll tell you." Obediently, I sat next to him, finding comfort as he gently rubbed my hair with his larger hand. Looking up at him expectantly, I stayed silent as he told me what was happening to him.
As I had previously known, he was a scientist. A scientist who made things purely for the revenue they were worth. He had received a request to make a love potion and was promised millions for it. Unfortunately, he was testing it on himself. I asked him why he didn't use someone else, but he said he wouldn't know the effects if the person actually did fall in love.
"So..you only love me because of the potion...?" I asked softly, glancing up at the man. Griffin shook his head and pulled me close.
"No no, Haji. It just... gives me mood swings. And I don't like being mad at you. I do love you."
"Oh.. I love you too...I just want you to be careful." I felt Griffin squeeze me gently as I heard him sigh.
"I know, Hajime. But I can take care of myself." he replied. I pulled away slightly, frowning slightly.
"But your experiments are causing you harm. I want you to be safe."
"I don't need you to tell me what to do. I've spent most of my life being taken care of, I don't need you to take care of me." His tone grew sharper as I felt him grow angrier. Why was he mad? It wasn't much to ask of him.
"But Griffin, let me.. I want to help-"
"Haji, stop talking about it. I will NOT let you take care of me. I have given you everything you want. You have other activities to do other than boss me around." I bristled as he raised his voice, looking down at my feet as I nodded submissively.
"Okay... I just don't want you hurt.." The larger male sighed and pulled me close to his side.
"Haji bear... I'll be fine. Just let me pamper you and love you." I nodded slightly, laying my head against his chest.
"Okay..."
Both of us ended up falling asleep with each other after we made some sort of compromise.
The next morning, I blinked my eyes open to chilly air, pulling myself closer to Griffin as I shivered lightly. Griffin happily complied with the closeness and wrapped his arms around me. After laying in bed for sometime, Griffin soon spoke.
"Would you like to go outside...?" He asked softly. My eyes immediately widened as I looked up at him.
"Yes!" The man hadn't let me go outside for a while, and I was quite eager. The man simply chuckled and nodded.

I couldn't feel a thing a I stepped into the thick snow, marching around the back lawn as I waited for Griffin to come out. That slowpoke. As I grew bored marching around, I looked back only to notice Griffin standing at the back door and watching me with a grin.
"Come oonn." I whined, wanting him to come outside already. The man laughed and closed the door behind him, clearly amused.
"Okay, Okay Haji. I'm coming." I smiled happily as he came up next to me. While we had been getting dressed that morning, the man had told of a barn with animals in the backyard of his house. He readily agreed to show me them when he saw my excitement.
After quite an interesting race to the barn, the both of us entered out of breath. I looked around eagerly to find all sorts of barn animals from horses to baby chicks. Griffin had let me hold one of the chicks, it small fluffiness laying in the palms of my hands. It was so small and so cute.
"You know...if you want to see better animals, my butler Anthony has more in his basement." Griffin told me, smiling. My eyes widened. Butler? More Animals?  I quickly agreed.
Griffin took me to a large house that could've been considered Griffin's neighbor, if it wasn't his butler. On the way to the house, the man had told me how Anthony had medical issues and couldn't work very much, and also that he had been on vacation so that's why I hadn't met him yet. He also told me that Anthony had mild paralysis in his left leg, and wasn't able to move very quickly. As we stood at the door, Griffin knocked and we awaited the footsteps coming toward the door. I was curious about what this man would be like; Griffin spoke highly of him.
I glanced up at my technical lover, and the door opened.
