Shadow Fangs

Chapter 34 Noiz route pt.5

"Nooooiz!" Zorakuba calls as he looks around for his green clad companion.  Noiz just suddenly up and left...after stealing his food!  Nonetheless, Zorakuba was worried as he walked around.  He didn't know why exactly since he knew Noiz could handle himself on his own...but what if he got hurt?! What if Toue got to him?! The anxious thoughts were swarming his thoughts and he couldn't get it out of his head.  He continued to look around while eating some of the food. 
.....

After a good half hour of searching he finally came across Noiz in an alleyway....with a bunch of suit and tie wearing men.  Looks like he was fighting...again...well at least he knew Noiz was ok...and now that he knew he was ok....

"NOIZ ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND?!" He screeched like an angry mother.  Everyone halted their movements to turn towards him as he stormed to Noiz.  The suit and tie clad men backed off from the angry Zorakuba as he reached up and grabbed Noiz by the ear.  "Sorry about the trouble. I'll make sure he doesn't do it again." He says politely as he can to the mildly surprised men before dragging Noiz back to Lotus.  Surprisingly Noiz didn't resist all that much.  What's even more surprising was how Zorakuba could hold all the food all the while dragging Noiz.
"Do you have ANY idea what trouble you could have gotten into!?  What if they dragged you back to Toue?!" Zorakuba yelled at Noiz as soon as he slammed the door shut. He released Noiz's ear as soon as he did.  Noiz just crossed his arms.  "I could've won you know-" "I don't give a damn if you could have beaten them!  You pulled something extremely stupid Noiz!" He yelled again, interrupting the otherwise emotionless Noiz.  He just became quiet again as Zorakuba continued to lecture and yell at him.  He didn't even seem to be listening.  However...what Zorakuba said next made him snap back to reality.  "I care too much about you to let you just up and kill yourself Noiz!" Zorakuba finished as his voice grew quiet, a deep frown on his face.  Noiz starred at him...somewhat unsure of what to say.  That's when Noiz noticed...Zorakuba's eyes were spilling tears.  Zorakuba shook his head before mumbling "sorry" and turning to go to his room.  However a firm but gentle hand grasped his arm.  "What did you mean when you said that....that you care too much about me?" Noiz asked as he looked at Zorakuba with a slight frown.  He was a little confused.  Not an annoyed scowl or coy smirk...a somewhat confused, concerned frown.  Zorakuba took a long moment to answer, his voice somewhat strained and horse from him trying not to cry harder than he actually was.  "It means exactly what I said....i care too much about you...a-and...and when I saw you fighting i...got worried...." he said in a quiet voice before shutting his eyes tightly and clenching his jaw to avoid letting out another sound.  Noiz starred at him bewildered before slowly letting go of Zorakuba's arm...Zorakuba dared to take a glance at Noiz only to see that frown still on his face.  He turned his face away, ashamed of his crying and cursing himself for telling Noiz this...he knew Noiz probably hated or at least strongly disliked him....unknown to him, he was wrong.
"......" Noiz paused again before reaching out and grabbing Zorakuba again.  Zorakuba, in turn, tensed because he thought he was about to be hit or yelled at for worrying too much.  However, as he closed his eyes and braced himself he felt warm arms envelope him, pulling him into a warm chest.  W...what? Zorakuba opened his eyes and realized...Noiz was hugging him.
