KiKasa RP - Black Magic

Chapter 12

Kasamatsu's POV

[ the minute I entered in I saw a short, frowning girl. It didn't take me long to realize she was the one from the phone. When she started yelling at me, I was completely sure, it was that voice I heard. Kise tried to defend me as much as he could, but honestly, the girl was right anyway. Maybe she misunderstood a bit the situation, bit she grasped the idea I used a stupid spell out of sheer dumbness. I was an idiot, a loser, she can call me whatever. She would be right, anyway. ]
"Don't bother to correct somebody who's right Kise. It was dumb and I shouldn't have, even if it wasn't meant to strike you."
[ I squinted at the tiny girl beside me when I spoke the last part. I discovered I'm gay... or at least bi.... today. I'm not ready to be outed this fast. At least not without a date, damn. ]
"Anyway, let's just... finish this. It'll be easier to all of us."
[ I said, sitting next to the girl who I realized was named Rio, and what she prepared to make a reverse... potion? charm? I don't know.... with. I gave her a drop of my blood when she asked and did as I was told generally, refusing to look at Kise. How come I become so vulnerable one? Forced love spell indeed, it forced me to love him now! I never felt so gloomy in my life. Especially when she said the... thing was ready. I looked to the floor. And there goes my first romance, just like that. Love conquers all my ass. I sighed. ]   

Kise's POV

  "Do... I have something to do? like a ritual or something?" 

[ I asked Rio. Maybe I should leave before I see his face afterwards, I thought sadly. ]
'Well, there's a short speech you have to-'
"Kasamatsu senpai, can I have a word with you?"
[I asked, hesitantly getting up from my seat as I sent Rio a meaningful look saying 'it's important.' I glanced over at him, seeing he followed obediently. Rio sighed exasperatedly, reluctantly dismissing us for a few moments. I walked over to my room, making sure he was behind me, and closed the door behind us. He probably felt caged, not such a romantic thing to do for the person you love, but I had no time or other options.]
"I know all of this had to be awful for you. This day too, was too long and tiring, you had to handle things you shouldn't have, heavy burdens... I'm sorry If i made you feel confused or disgusted today, I really am... I just want you to know something before this all ends, since it might not mean much to you but it does to me. I love you, I realized I love everything about you. From how you look to the way you talk, the way you play basketball, your personality, your habits I know all about. I even learned a few new things today, for example, you're shyer than you look. Also, you get jealous easily, which is cute. I'm getting away from my point right?.. they point is I just wanted you to remember that I loved you immensely even after the spell is dissolved, that it was no joke to me, and again, I'm sorry for causing you trouble, kasamatsu senpai."
[I whispered, biting my lip as I felt sadness take over me. It felt like having a part of me taken away, even though I knew I'd just go back to the regular me. I'm the flawed version of myself, aren't I? I'm going back to being normal. Though, before that... I leaned in, trapping him with his back against the door as I caressed his cheek with my other hand and kissed his lips. It was addicting. I hadn't even asked for his permission but I couldn't stop, and he hadn't showed any signs or resistance. Slowly, my hand slid behind his back, slightly pulling him towards me. I kissed him once more, this time a deeper kiss, invading his mouth with my tongue as I took my chances to open my eyes and look at him. He was beautiful, mesmerizing, perfect... and so kissable. When he struggled to breath, though, I pulled away, taking a few steps back and staring at the floor, ashamed. I really, really shouldn't have done that. ]
"...for that, too... I'm sorry."   

Kasamatsu's POV

[ I sighed as Kise took me to the side. I know he means well in whatever he does, but I'm getting heartaches already, and it's not fun. His words pierced through me like a sword, every sentence, I felt like I was receiving a new stab. Yes Kise, go ahead, tell me you love me. Tell me how you think I'm handsome, or cute, or impressive, or whatever you'd like. Is this your way of getting back at me for this day? He would stop loving me in a few minutes, and now he tells me all of this. I'm already barely willing to go through with it. What is he doing to me? This is karma in full force, no doubt about it. ]
"Kise... Please...."
[ I was a second away from begging him to stop doing this to me when he kissed me. I whimpered. My lips quivered under his own, and I felt more vulnerable than ever. I was fighting with myself, if I should break the kiss or go with it, just for the few seconds it'll last. It hurt that even before I got to make a decision, he stopped, suddenly not looking at me, even... Tears formed on my lash lines in each eye, quickly falling as I bit my lips, trying my hardest not to let any whimpers get out of my mouth. ]
"I r-really can't believe this.... Karma t-truly does exist... Doesn't it?"
[ I asked bitterly, my arm covering my eyes, though I'm sure it was clear I was crying. ]
"You're really making me want to bolt out of this house and leave the spell cast. It really, really hard for me now... Please, if this is really the end of your feelings... Don't do this to me. I know... I've been awful today.. but for me... the heartbreak won't leave in a day."
[ I hate crying. My voice broke on so many words. I hate it. I hate this moment. I hate this day. ]
"If this is the end... then let it end, and let me leave."

Kise's POV

[I felt frozen in place. I hadn't thought it hurt him that badly. I did know the incidents of today were awful, irregular in any possible meaning, some might've been revolting to him, saddening, angering, but Kasamatsu senpai always seemed like the composed type of guy. Seeing him like this, I realized I just broke his heart, and it broke mine too... quite literally. Pains filled my chest and made me grip the left side of my chest as I stared at him, full of regret. The familiar taste of blood was back again in my mouth, headaches in my head. I badly wanted to go over there and hug him, promise him that I won't break the spell, that I'll love him forever and ever no matter what it takes against all chances, but all I could do was stand still as the pain paralyzed me. His tears were the worst part. I never saw them, and I never wished to see them. Now that I have and it's in my fault too had only made it worse.]

"...I don't want to let you leave."

[A single tear dropped down my cheek and the door bursted open, revealing a hysterical, panicked Rio as she scrambled in the room, the papers falling away from her hands, creating a mess. She didn't seem to mind butting into whatever kind of moment we had as she grabbed a paper and a pen, scribbling a few words, possibly a chant and quickly handed it over to him.]

'Read this. It's a reverse spell, there are the words you have to chant three times so it'll be gone and over with. Say it; As the sorcerer of said spell I release whom I've cast it upon from the magical bind.'

"... don't say it! Don't say it if you don't want to. I don't want you to say it..."

'Shut up! Kasamatsu, look at me, man!'

[She grabbed his face, lowering his face down to look at her as she broke our eye connection apart.]

'Remember me reminding our age differences? Well, you're the older one here. I know it's absolute shit, I can't say I understand but I know it must be horrible. Decide for yourself; keep it and find him bloody dead one day or trying it all over again if you don't want to give it up! It's not impossible... don't let my best friend die.' 

Kasamatsu's POV

[ I was in the highest level of stress imagined, when Rio entered the room. I don't want to! I don't! but he would get hurt because of me, and I'll be wallowing in my heartbreak and tears anyway. So what can I do already? let him die? He doesn't deserve to be forever damned by this. He deserves a happy life, with a pretty girlfriend, a good basketball career, and whatever else would make him happy. He can't do those with the restrictions I laid on him. And I must fix it. I have to. Even if it means I'm going to be in very real, harsh emotional pain afterwards. Rio was right. Takao was right. I shouldn't have done what I've done - this is the price I am paying. I breathed in, trying to stop my stupid whimpers, useless whimpers. They have no meaning. It has to be done. ]
"I'm sorry... But even if don't want to, I have to. Kise. As your captain, and friend."
[ I looked over what she has written and sighed. Then I opened my mouth and chanted the words as she said. ]
"As the sorcerer of said spell I release whom I cast it upon from the magical bind."
[ Once. Kise was livid. I could see it, but I can't.... I can't let him die because I'm selfish. ]
"As...the sorcerer of said spell I release.. whom I cast it upon from the magical bind."
[ Twice. I didn't want to say it. I barely wanted to release the words. ]
"As... the sorcerer of said spell...I release whom I cast it upon from the magical... bind."
[ Thrice. It was done and over with, even if I only managed to mutter the last sentence, due to tears rising again. Please don't forget me. ]
