My Shadow (boyxboy)

Eyes

I sigh, walking out of the bar as Hiro walked beside me.

"What do you think is going on?" Hiro asks, breaking the silence.

I shake my head. "I-I don't know.."

"Oi, Taka!"

I turn my head to see that it's Zero, running up to me. "Oh hi Zero."

He smiles brightly. "How have you been?"

I smile. "I've been good, just taking a friend for a drink."

He looks over at Hiro and smiles. "I'm Zero it's nice to meet you."

Hiro looks up at him and Zero towers over him.

"Oh nice to meet you too, I'm Hiro." He holds out a hand and Zero shakes it.

"Well we were just heading home, maybe you'd like to get together tomorrow, Zero?" I ask.

He nods. "Sure. I'll text you later, bye!" He waves at us both and walks off.

"Zero huh?" Hiro mumbles under his breath.

I look over at him. "What's wrong with 'em?" I ask.

He sighs. "He gives me a feeling.. I don't like it." He says.

I laugh a bit. "Well, he's a super nice guy."

He smirks. "Oo, do ya like him?"

I laugh. "Maybe."

"That's cute, Taka-chan." He giggles.

I blush slightly. "Where did that nickname come from?"

He shrugs. "It suits you."

We both finally arrive at our apartments, and say goodbye. I sigh, walking inside. Maybe I just shouldn't stress about it. I mean, isn't that the police's job? I shake my head and head to my room.

I slide my shirt over my head, heading over to my bathroom. I feel a surge of pain shoot through me, and I jump.

I look in the mirror, realizing I still have the hole in my neck. But this time, it's bleeding. Blood drips down the side of my neck. I touch it, feeling it in between my fingers.

"What the fuck.." I mumble, reaching over to my phone. I look at it seeing that Zero had text me.

I sigh, unlocking my phone to see what he had said.

Zero: How about tomorrow at 8? I can pick you up.

I smile immediately. He was always so formal, even through text messages. He never uses "u" or something when he texts. It's always straight forward.

Sure, I'll see you then :)

I sigh, closing my phone. I look back in the mirror, seeing that the bite has bled more. I feel droplets of blood going down my skin.

"How the hell is it bleeding so much?!" I exclaim, trying to cover it and make it stop bleeding.

I grab a rag, covering it up. The wound bleeds through the fabric and I grumble.

"Maybe Hiro can help me.."

I walk out of the apartment, not bothering to put my shirt back on, and walk across to Hiro's apartment. I knock on the door, and Hiro almost answers immediately.

"Hey Taka.." He pauses. "What the hell happened to your neck?!" He exclaims.

He pulls me inside suddenly, and I stumble.

"I-I don't know.. I woke up this morning, and it was just there." I stutter, feeling the rag dampen.

"Your lucky I went to medical school, or you'd be going to a hospital." He laughs.

He sits me on the couch, taking out a first aid kit, except it look extremely professional.

"Wait your a doctor?" I ask, as he moves his hands up to work on my wound.

"Well.. I went to school to become one, and then writing caught my eye." He smiles.

"Wait really?" I ask. "What do you write?"

He scratches the back of his head. "Well.. I started writing when I was 14 and I just kept doing it."

He begins to wrap my neck, making sure the bleeding stops. 

"Have you published any books?" I ask.

He shakes his head. "It's hard to publish boy X boy stories because their not that common." He shrugs. "I'll just keep trying."

"Wait boy X boy?" I ask.

He nods his head. "To be completely honest with you, I'm actually bisexual and I enjoy writing boy's love stories as well as girls."

I smile. "That's really cool, Hiro."

His cheeks flush a bit and looks up at me. "Is the bandage too tight?"

I shake my head. He suddenly looks at me and starts to turn red.

"What? What is it?"

I look down, realizing I am completely shirtless. I quickly cover myself.

"Hey! Quit looking you perv!" I laugh.

He laughs too. "I can't help it, especially when your this adorable."

I blush slightly, still laughing. He stops laughing, and starts starting off into the distance.

"What? Something wrong?" I try to follow his gaze.

I freeze. I watch as Hiro's hand shakes a bit, as does my own.

I was a towering dark figure, starting into my apartment window. Although, it seemed familiar.. In a way. It started to move around a bit, and I got to see its figure a bit better. It's figure was almost of a human man, but it didn't seem....human.

"Get down.." Hiro whispers to me. "It's gonna see you get down!"

I ignore him, and keep staring at it in fear. I watch it turn toward me, and it stares at me. It's glowing yellow eyes feel like they're staring into my soul. My body tenses, as the figure creeps closer to our window.

I stare at it, unable to move, as it creeps closer.

"Taka..?" Hiro whispers to me, but I can't pull my gaze away. "Y-your eyes..they look lifeless."

I try to turn my head, I want to turn my head, but I feel like someone is holding my face to stare at the creature. I feel my body start to relax as I stare at it. I stare into its eyes, and I finally see something.

It's pupils. It has pupils, and they look like actual eyes. Except something was different about them, they were slit. But something about its eyes were beautiful.

I my body completely relax as I feel arms wrap around my shoulders, as the world around me faded into darkness.
