The Servant's Lies (Diabolik Lovers)

Chapter 3

Tetsuo sat on his bed, questioning why he just did what he did. I'm a 20 year old..and I just agreed to basically being tossed around and tortured. He shook his head at the thought. There was nothing else he could do. He wanted his vampires back.
Even if they did hold a massive grudge for what he did, he felt that they'd get over it eventually. So he decided to just fight through it, until it could be ... some what back to the way it used to be.
Though it could never be back to the way it was. The Sakamaki's would always remember when Tetsuo left without speaking the reason. They would remember how he told them he loved them, then left without a word. How he said he'd never leave, yet somehow found a reason to turn his back on them.
It almost made them question if everything was a facade in the first place; if him coming back now was just a continue of his plan. But, frankly, they didn't want to find out. They might as well take the opportunity to get revenge on their play of emotions.
The vampires know well of Tetsuo's submissive side, and also of the little dominance he shows as an Alpha. So why not take advantage of it? They've been hurt beyond measure, so why not hurt him? It made perfect sense to them.
Even Yui wanted revenge. She was hurt just as much as them. She wants to show Tetsuo how it felt to her, just as much as the brothers.
     Gosh, Tetsuo fucked up.

     Tetsuo looked out of his window and sighed. It was the next night, and a Sunday. He wondered if he would be put to work immediately.
Grumbling curses, he stood up and stretched his tired body. He didn't even know why he was still tired. He'd surely rested while he was isolated in a mansion. It seemed the stress of his recent decisions hit him all in one night.
Thinking back on it, he never was completely isolated. There was always someone ready with a limo if Tetsuo wanted to leave. But Tetsuo never did, because even if he did want to go out, he was under someone's supervision the whole time. And even then, all he ever really wanted to do was go back to the Sakamaki mansion.
He's back now. And in a, somewhat, unhealthy situation.
As Tetsuo reviewed his dilemma, the door opened up. Reiji stood already dressed and impatient at the door. And there was Tetsuo in his half naked glory.
Tetsuo looked at Reiji, the faintest red reaching his cheeks. He stumbled around for his sweatpants, pulling them over his boxers. He started to frantically search for a shirt.
"It has been requested you cook breakfast. I do hope you haven't forgot that simple skill since your departure." Reiji said, hissing out 'departure' and regretfully reminding himself of how he was when the wolf was gone.
With a glare, the vampire closed the door and walked away. Reiji started down the hall, stopping short to look back at the door he just left behind. The door he locked and sealed so he, or the others, weren't tempted to go in. It seemed so long ago.
     He thought about the several times he tried to ignore the fact that one of his brothers, or Yui, was in the wolf's room. Whether they were filled with anger or sadness, Reiji knew it wasn't healthy for them to torture themselves so. So Shu, who actually agreed with his full brother for once, made the executive decision to make it unreachable for everyone.
     After a while the room became practically non existent, and though that was the main reminder to the residents that Tetsuo was gone, they definitely still hurt from the fact in general that they were left behind.
     As Reiji heard the door knob start to move he quickly made his way elsewhere, not wanting to be questioned by Tetsuo. Why did he have to come back now? When we were all getting over him? Reiji sighed at the thought.
Tetsuo smoothed out his plain black shirt and took the familiar route to the kitchen. He dismissed a passing glare from Laito and started with one of his normal breakfast meals.
     While cooking, he noticed how much had changed. Though it wasn't an enormous amount; probably upon Reiji or Ayato's wishes, it was still a bit different.
     The thought of them changing things and events happening that he didn't know about made his chest throb. He had always seen himself being a part of their lives 3 years ago, and it's sad to see how that took a turn.
At least now he has maybe a month to try and get things back, before he needs to be back at his mansion for Karlheinz's visit. He'd need an excuse then as well. But now was not the time to think of it.
Tetsuo plated the food he made and hesitated on calling for the others that it was ready. Though he didn't need to as they all slowly made their way to the table.
     As everyone sat themselves in silence, Tetsuo stood off to the side, like he normally would if he wasn't eating with them. He kept his head low, expecting everyone to start, but he lifted his head at the cold silence.
     "Are you not going to eat?" Reiji finally spoke, not making eye contact with the wolf.
     "Um, no I'm still full from what Gra—" They can't know about Grandma. "Uh, great catch I made in the forest.." He finished awkwardly. And there went another lie.
     "Are you serious?" Ayato grimaced, either not believing he caught something or the fact that he really wasn't hungry.
     "It was a big animal..." Tetsuo started confidently, only to be quickly interrupted by Yui.
     "Well, you can go now." So he left. And they ate in a painful silence.
     "So what are we going to do with him?" Kanato asked quietly, staring at his untouched plate.
     "Whatever we want." Shu replied, before standing and leaving. The others watched as the blonde left with his head low and dull eyes barely open.
     Another silence.
   "Well I don't want him back." Kanato said, taking his leave as well.

     Tetsuo sat on his bed, still being able to sense his passed friends that were once laid in the room. The memories from the years back starting to flood his brain.
     He was always in pain. Rarely appreciated or even payed attention to. Until it happened. He didn't want it to, though he would have to admit he had wished many times for things would change. But he didn't want it to change that way.
     He was alone. Briefly of course. He thought the vampires he stumbled upon would help him, but in the end they only hurt him too. He was still in pain. He just wanted some relief.
     He finally got it. He was finally free of constant pain. He was finally happy. And he ruined it. Yes, he was threatened, but he was still the one to blame. All he had to do was tell them of the threats, and it could've been worked out. Most likely.
     But he fucked up. He ruined it. He made a decision on his own and everything he had was gone. He didn't know what to —
     "You pathetic wolf, make Ore-Sama takoyaki!" Ayato swung the door open and marched up to Tetsuo with a scowl on his face.
     Not prepared at all for the action, Tetsuo turned his face and sunk away from the vampire looming over him. His ears were flattened in .. well, in fear. He had a hand up as if it would be some sort of protection against something.
     Ayato's eyes suddenly went wide as he looked at the frightened wolf. He noticed his cheeks slightly stained with tears and how the wolf trembled slightly.
     The redhead suddenly wanted to lean forward and wrap his arms around the smaller male. He wanted to sit with the other in his arms. But he remembered all the times he needed Tetsuo, and Tetsuo didn't show up. He was gone. He needed him, and he wasn't there.
     Ayato's glare returned, but softer than before. This one was more disappointed and upset than angry.
     "Just get up." Ayato snapped, grabbing Tetsuo's arm and hoisting him up. He shooed the wolf out of the door, trying not to pay attention to him wiping his tears.
     Tetsuo stumbles down the stairs and back to the kitchen. He walked in and started to go to a cabinet. 
     "Get out. Teddy and I are doing something." Kanato said before he could open anything. The wolf looked down at him, then tried to search for Ayato.
     "But...Ayato wants me to make him t—"
     "I said get out! Get out! Teddy doesn't want you in here! I don't want you in here! Get out!" Kanato just started yelling over and over, frantically pushing at the bigger male to remove himself from the kitchen.
Tetsuo stood outside of the kitchen, defeated. He wasn't really sure how Ayato would react to him not cooking but Kanato was probably going to rip his hair out if he went any further.
Reiji suddenly appeared next to the wolf, looking at Kanato. "What is going on?"
"Teddy and I are doing something. I told him to leave and he wouldn't." Kanato pouted, small tears falling down his cheeks.
Tetsuo almost started to glare; Kanato wasn't crying a second ago—
"See look! Now he's all mad." Kanato pointed at the wolf, who had a slightly scary expression on his face. But the glare quickly turned to a face of fear when he felt Reiji grab his arm.
"Already being disobedient and it's only been a night." Reiji shook his head then turned to Kanato. "Would you like to take care of his punishment?"
"Punishment?" Tetsuo looked at him in surprise. Reiji ignored this.
"No. I don't want to be near him." Reiji nodded and kept a grip on Tetsuo's arm.
"Wait, Wait. What about Ayato? He wanted me to make him takoyaki.."
"You can deal with him afterwards. I'm simply punishing you for what you've done to Kanato." He sighed. "I honestly thought you would be doing better."
Tetsuo's mouth hung open in shock as he got dragged into a separate room of Reiji's that he called the 'Torture Chamber'.
Tetsuo just sighed in defeat, his eyes trained to the floor as he was pulled in.
