The Darkness cursed ones

-Chapter 8-

Heesan stares into Nikis eyes.
"I...ehm..." Niki tries to repeat, but fails miserably, blushing.
"So...you mean it? But...I don't understand...no that's not what I mean...I mean that this is really sudden..." Heesan tries to explain.
"Heh...It's sudden for me too...I actually didn't want to say that already...." Niki agrees.
Heesan keeps staring into Nikis eyes.
"Sorry..." Niki sighs.
"No, no! Don't apologize for something like this. Its...god how do I say this now...."
A flash of worry flickers into Nikis eyes.
'Oh no...is he...not returning my feelings...Am I....getting rejected? Why did I even have to say this?! Why couldn't I just shut up for once....' Niki thinks
Heesan clears his throat and looks deep into Nikis eyes, holding both his hands now.
"Niki....I...I think...I think I love you too. N..No I don't think that. I know that I love you too." Heesan says.
Nikis eyes flash from worry to happiness.
"I do....for some reason...I never...agh I am so awkward now" Heesan turns away.
"Hey, No! You are not awkward. If you are awkward then what am I?" Niki jokes.
"Ah...its good to see the old Niki back." Heesan comments as he sees Nikis smile.
"I guess...." Niki whispers as he leans forward onto Heesans chest.
"What the..." Heesan takes a deep breath to calm himself. "What are you doing?" He says with a calm voice.
"Sorry....I just wanted to do that again."
"Again?"
"Yes, I used to do this with my Mom, when Father got....you know." Niki explains pulling away from Heesan again.
"Oh...okay. Do you have trouble with him again?" Heesan asks careful
Niki nods
"Father got my number again...he send me a message about the regular things. For example, I should focus on school, I shouldn't "waste" my time with you guys."
"Ts, That's just stupid."
Niki nods carefully, like his father would watch him.
Heesan stands up
"We should go back to the others. We need to think about how we can get Jay and Sun back"
Heesan helps Niki stand up and they walk back together.

"Hey guys!" Niki greets as he and Heesan walk into the livingroom where the other boys already wait.
As Heesan sees Niki so cheerful again he smiles relieved at first, but then he thinks 'What if he just puts on a mask, like he does almost all the time...I need to keep an eye on him.'
"Okay so...Guys we need a plan to get Jay and Sun back." Heesan starts
"No shits, and how are we supposed to do that? Jace is a fricking Psychopath and we all know that he is stronger than us, also I am really sure he won't just give us Sun back with a 'please'. And for Jay, mister healer you still don't know how to safe people from the curse." Won says almost annoyed.
"That's not just Heesans task! We all should work together to find a way!" Shino explains.
Niki nods in agreement.
"Yeah sure. Do what you want I don't care" Won replies annoyed.
"What's going on with you? Want to join Jace' side?" Shino asks looking at Won with anger.
"No! Of course not, what the hell?"
"Well you make it look like it when you behave this annoyed all the time!" Shino exclaims.
"Hey! Enough of this, it's not helping us if we argue!" Heesan interrupts the argument.
"Sorry" Shino apologizes bowing.
Won just mumbles something and walks away towards his room.
"Well, then we will do this without Won."

The boys are talking for hours without any good plans that could work. Normally Jay would be the one having a plan or just organizing stuff. But since he is gone everything got so difficult.
After a moment of silence Heesan speaks up
"I got an Idea. What if I touch Jays statue but with the bracelet on. Normally I would turn to stone because the darknes transfers over to the person who touched it. But the bracelet observes darkness."
"But that's so risky!" Niki says
"But maybe the only way to get Jay back..." Shino mumbles thoughtful.
Niki sighs
"Fine. But I want to do that then! I mean Jay 'died' because he wanted to protect me, now I should get him back!"
Heesan and Shino nod.
They Summon the darkening room, where Jays stone body stands.
Niki takes a deep breath,closes his eyes and touches Jay on his arm. The stone is cold, painfully cold. But soon it gets warmer.
Niki opens his eyes quick and he sees the stone tear turning back rolling down Jays stoned face which is also getting it's normal color back slowly.
"JAY!" Niki yells happy.
Jay almost stumbles but quickly regains his balance.
"Guys? What...how am I...." Jay tries slightly confused.
"That was Heesans idea! He said that the bracelet would observe the darkness that's coming from you and it actually worked!" Niki explains going to hug Jay.
"Yeah...it did..." Jay mumbles.
"Jay!" Shino and Heesan say almost at the same time.
Niki takes a step back from Jay.
The darkening room closes and they are standing in the livingroom again.
"I am glad you are okay...where is Won though?" Jay asks
"Won is a little bit difficult right now. He is acting so annoyed all the time. I can't talk with him even if I try. He just keeps distancing." Shino explains.
Jay nods
"Probably the whole situation with Sun and Jace. I mean Jace was a good friend of Won."
"Probably" the others agree.
Jay smiles warm at his friends
'They are the best...I will protect them.

"What the fuck did you do to me?!" Sun yells.
"Sunny, I just...played with your mind a bit" Jace says shrugging. "Where is the problem?"
"Where is the problem?! You should now where the problem is!"
Jace sighs annoyed.
"You made me kill my friend okay! That's the fucking problem!" Sun yells.
"He is not dead. Those stupid brats revived him." Jace spits out
"HEY! Don't talk like that about my friends!"
"Your 'friends' didn't even try to save you, sweetie. They don't waste a single thought about you." Jace explains cold.
"They did! They wanted to save me!" Sun yells tears starting to roll down his face.
Jace stands up and grabs Suns chin.
"Don't cry. Its pathetic."
"YOU ARE PATHETIC!" Sun yells screechingly.
Jace throws Sun away making him bump into a shelf.
Suns body fills with pain. But as much as he wants to scream for help or cry, nothing comes out.
"Be silent. You're annoying me." Jace says cold.
Suns eyes flash red and his mind gets blank.
"Good." Jace takes his book and reads it, ignoring Sun who is cowering on the ground in pain.

Heyo! Jay is back woohoo! But for how long? :3 And a little sneak peek at the situation between Sun and Jace.
I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it :>
