Tempest (Payu/Venice X Rain, Love in the air / Kinnporsche crossover)

Chapter 53

Rain held that letter tight against his chest, he wiped away the tears from his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt his heart beating faster and louder at the thought of his next move. The young student walked back to the bathroom, where Payu was already removing the cream from his face. Rain looked at him and smiled, then he sat next to the marble bathtub and grabbed his lover's arm, he wasn't stupid, he did that to act cute and adorable but he actually gave a look at his body to make sure that there were no signs of self-harm.

"P' Payu, is it true that you would do anything for me?" Rain asked with a bright smile. Payu tilted his head to the right and patted his boyfriend's head before responding to him.

"Of course, what do you want me to do for you?"

"I want to have breakfast with you" Rain said. That wasn't what he wanted to tell him. He wanted to ask him to go to see a therapist, maybe he could tell him to go there together or he could make up an excuse, but the thought of making his lover's heart sink into despair again stopped his tongue from any sensitive topic.

"Alright, go downstairs and tell dad that I will come soon, just give me a minute to get dressed, ok?" Payu replied.

Rain left the room and felt incredibly relieved. It seemed so easy, where was the catch? How could his boyfriend pretend to feel like that, act completely normal even though it was obvious that he wasn't feeling that way? Rain went downstairs and informed Pete that his son was going to come downstairs very soon.

Pete put the food on the table, Payu arrived soon after and looked around, trying to find his beloved Rain. He didn't know where he was. Nobody knew. A few minutes before Payu's arriving there, Rain saw the door that lead to the basement, he heard the moans of pain of their dear guest and decided to go downstairs to visit him.

While there, Rain's senses felt alive again, the reddish light and the classical music in the background only made his feeling of revenge shout louder inside his mind. His fingers instinctively moved to one of the long and thin knives on the long steel table near the armchair.

"Hey... wh... what are you going to do? S...Stop!" Gun shouted as he noticed that the guy was walking to him with that thing in his hands.

"You... you deserve this... you deserve much worse than this... you rat!" Rain shouted and raised his hand to stab his prey. His arm couldn't move, someone was holding him back. Payu was there. He did his best to go down there to stop Rain as he realized what was going on. He went against the demons in his head, the nightmares that were torturing him every moment he closed his eyes. He was there just for Rain. He was there to protect him again before he could do something he could regret.

"Rain, stop!" Payu shouted holding back his lover as best as he could. It wasn't easy, he felt weak and exhausted after going on for days without an hour of sleep.

"Let go of me! I have to do it! For you!" Rain shouted back but Payu started holding him tighter.

"No! This isn't what I want! I don't want you to be like this! You aren't this, Rain!" Payu said in his ear since he was holding him so close to himself.

"How can you say this, Payu!?"

"Rain... please... you don't understand what it means to take someone's life... he deserves a punishment and he will end up in jail for a very long time... this is what I want... can you fulfill my wish?" Payu asked softly in his ear.
