Opposites attract

Chapter VI

Nikolai

I watched as Akuma's demeanour changed when he checked the caller ID "Who is it?" I asked. "Lia" he said in a monotone voice. Lia? Who the hell is Lia? "The red head you dragged me away from" Akuma said, as though I'd voiced the question. I grabbed Akuma's phone from him and immediately declined the call. "Why does she have your number and how do you know her name?" I asked trying to keep my voice neutral. "I ran into her on my way to class, then she dropped her book and I gave it back to her. I assume she got my number from my sister," Akuma said, smirking at me as my grip tightened on his phone. "There's no need to be jealous" Akuma said, sliding his hand under my shirt from behind me "She can't compare to you" he whispered in my ear, which sent shivers down my spine. "Prove it." I said, looking where his head now lay on my shoulder Akuma spun me around and pushed me onto the couch, he brought his leg over me, straddling my waist. "Do you want a replay of the nurse's office? Or should we finish that little scene" Akuma said, lust smouldering in his eyes. I felt my face heat under his gaze. Before I could answer, I felt Akuma's hand grip the hem of my boxers. Akuma leaned down, but just as our lips were about to meet, someone banged on our door. I groaned in frustration as Akuma got off me to go answer the door. The red head from earlier, Lia, walked in. "Hi Akuma" she said, she glanced at me with a small smirk as she wrapped her arms around Akuma's left arm. Akuma looked visibly uncomfortable at the contact.  I tried to keep my cool as Lia moved closer to Akuma. "Lia. Let go of me" Akuma said, trying to pull his arm away from her without hurting her. "Why?" Lia asked, looking at Akuma innocently, "Because he's fucking uncomfortable. That's why!" I said pulling Akuma away from Lia. Akuma put his arm around my waist, pulling me back as I subconsciously lunged at Lia. "Niko, calm down." Akuma said firmly, refusing to let go. "I don't understand what I did wrong?" Lia said muttered, batting her eyelashes. I let out a low growl, I swear I was about to strangle this girl had Akuma not subtly slipped his hand under my shirt and rubbed soothing circles on my stomach. I calmed myself and gave Lia a cold stare "Listen very fucking carefully." I said in a clipped tone, "Akuma. Is. Mine" Lia looked between us, tears welled in her eyes, maybe I'd been a bit too harsh... I slowly approached Lia wanting to comfort her, but as I did, Lia looked up and slapped me before going out of the dorm in outrage. I stood there frozen as the flash backs rolled in.

"Dad?" 9-year-old me called out into the empty mansion I called home. Angry footsteps stomped up to the second floor as I hid behind the couch. I heard my mum scream and ran to the stairs to go find her. Just as I got to the stairs, my dad grabbed me from behind and dragged me back to my room "Don't worry, your mum is just watching a horror movie." he said coldly as he closed my bedroom door and locked it, "Can I watch it with her?" I asked, wanting to make sure my mum was okay. "No. You'll stay here and have fun with me." my dad said, with a sardonic smile. I backed away from him until I hit the end of my bed, dad picked me up and threw me onto the bed, I cowered near the headboard as my dad undressed himself "Dad, why are you taking off your clothes?" I said as he crawled onto my bed. He didn't answer as he grabbed me and took off my clothes until I was in nothing but boxers, I tried to get away from him but as I did, he slapped me, making me lose my balance and fell onto the mattress. "Don't be scared Nikolai, it'll make you feel good..." my dad drawled as he took my boxers off. I cried in pain as dad slammed his cock into me (A.N had to say "cock" cuz "penis" didn't fit right.) not stopping until he was satisfied, by the time that had happened, I was covered in marks and bruises.

"Niko!" Akuma shouted while shaking me, I flinched as I came back to reality. "w-what?" I stammered, Akuma pulled me into a hug, "I called you seven times, it was like you weren't here. What happened?" Akuma said, "I was just stunned, that's all." I lied, I wasn't ready to talk about the flash backs, not yet. Akuma pulled away from the hug, he didn't seem convinced by what I said, but thankfully he didn't push it. "You wanna go do something?" he asked, but as he did, his phone started ringing. When he looked at it he sighed and answered, "Hi, Viper, need something?" he said. Who's Viper? Akuma stayed silent as he listened to what the person on the other side of the call was saying. "Viper, ask Ghostcode, Silencer and Tinkerer to help you. I'm busy right now," Akuma said. Ghostcode and Tinkerer? The people Elliot mentioned yesterday? Akuma hung up and put his phone in his pocket and looked up at me. "You look shaken," he said softly as he approached me, I took a step back "Who are those people?" I asked, "Which people?" Akuma said, looking at me in confusion. "Viper, Silencer, Tinkerer and Ghostcode" I said noticing the way Akuma tensed. "It doesn't matter," he answered after a few minutes of silence, "It matters to me Akuma" I said firmly, "Why does it matter to you?" Akuma said, it was clear he was trying not to lose his shit. "I want to know what kind of people you hang out with, for all I know you could be dangerous." I said, "I am dangerous. Didn't stop your friend from coming to beat me up, especially considering he knows who I am, what surprises me is you don't," Akuma said calmly, though his whole body was still tense. What did he mean by that? Akuma went off to his room, I wanted to follow him but decided against it, clearly I'd pissed him off.  I sat on the couch trying to wrap my head around what Akuma had said. What was so special about his identity? 

💙😎💙

I was in my room trying in vain to get some homework done, when suddenly I heard a loud thud. I rushed to see Akuma pinned to the ground by a masked man, I was about to help when Akuma pulled a pistol  from his pocket and shot the man in the head, the gun made no noise. The assailant fell off Akuma and lay motionless on the ground. Akuma got up, cursing as he noticed the blood on his sleeves, he looked up at me and froze. I couldn't breath, couldn't move from where I stood, "Niko..." Akuma said shakily, he took a step towards me, my body jerked into action and bolted out of the dorm. I ran until I was off campus, falling to my knees on the pavement. "Niko?" I heard another voice say, I looked up coming face to face with Micheal. "What happened?" he asked frantically as he helped me stand up, "Akuma, he- he-" I stuttered, trying in vain to explain the horror I'd seen. Micheal's face darkened as he heard me say Akuma's name. "Do you want to stay in my dorm?" he asked, I nodded, "Micheal, Akuma said he was surprised you knew who he was but I didn't, why?" I said, Micheal avoided my gaze, "You ever heard of Ashford enterprises?" Micheal asked, I nodded, Ashford enterprises was one of the biggest companies in America, known for the very expensive tech that it makes. "Akuma's ;ast name is Ashford, he's the son of the C.E.O, on top of that he's in a gang, one of the most feared that there is" Micheal explained, I felt like time had stopped. Akuma Ashford!? I had been rivals with THE Akuma Ashford. Shit. And a gang? "Wait, how do you know he's in a gang?" I asked, Micheal still wouldn't meet my gaze, "You're in the gang aren't you." I deadpanned, Micheal nodded, staring at the pavement. "You said it's one of the most feared, I know there's Argintiu, but I get the feeling that's not the one." I stared at Micheal who finally met my gaze and shook his head. "They're our rivals..." he said, I froze, Argintiu only had one rival, and they weren't one of the most feared, they were the most feared gang: Angeles Muertos (A.N: Dead Angels in Spanish) "D-do you know what his role is?" I asked, "I think he's one of the co-founders, along with the main founder, The Ghost, and another founder Ghostcode" Micheal explained, "Niko" I froze as I heard a voice behind me, I turned to see Akuma, he'd changed out of his bloody into a black tankk top. Akuma looked at Micheal "Why are you here?" he asked, coldly, "I'm comforting my friend." Micheal said glaring at Akuma. I stood between the two guys hoping to stop a fight from breaking between my best friend and...at this point I don't know what my relationship with Akuma is. "I'm going to say this once. Leave," Akuma said, I saw him reach into his pocket, I didn't want to risk finding out what he was grabbing. I looked at Micheal but he was already backing up. "Fine" he said before turning to leave. Once he was gone, Akuma tried to approach me, but I kept my distance. "Niko, come on-" he started to say, "I'm gonna say with Micheal for now," I cut him off, Akuma's mood change was immediate, his body became tense, the hurt showing on his face disappeared as he gave me a cold stare. "Fine, go ahead to that traitor." he spat before going back to our dorm. As I started to walk to Micheal's dorm, it started to rain. WWonderful, now I'll be soaked. I picked up the pace and made it to Micheal's dorm before the rain really started coming down. I knocked on the door expecting Micheal to answer it. Instead Elliot opened the door, "If your looking for Micheal then he isn't here." Elliot said, he looked tired. "Um...Micheal said I could stay over for the night," I explained, Elliot let me inside, Their dorm was pretty plain compared to the one I shared with Akuma. There was an Xbox under the TV with 4 controllers but that was really it. "Micheal went out and hasn't come back yet." Elliot explained, I nodded. "Hey, Elliot right?" I said, he looked at me and nodded. "You're Akuma's friend right? Do you know anything about the gang that he's in?" I asked, it was a long shot but...Elliot eyes widened but he quickly calmed himself, "I already know about the gang, Micheal told me. Angeles Muertos right?" I said so that Elliot wouldn't start lying to me. Elliot's eyes darkened. "What did Micheal tell you?" he asked, "He said that Akuma was one of the co-founders, but that was it" I answered, Elliot stared at me blankly, "Akuma is better suited to explain that to you," he said. Before I could say anything else he went to his own room. I sat alone in the living room as I waited for Micheal.
