Undeniable

11

  Caelum tried his best to ignore the nagging feelings of his negativity for the last two days; he did try his best to not feel the deja vu. But it’s useless, his heart and mind seems to plot against him, defying his orders, and still getting Kyou’s plan as the main topic. If there’s another problem that will wreck his senses more than before, he’ll be able to move on from one problem to another. And his prayer was answered when he opened the main door.

  It was him; the owner of the house he saw as prison, the cold-blooded person, the face he never forgets. It’s the General.

  “Caelum, I see you’ve grown so much. But that scared face never change, huh? Haha!”

  His deep voice sends knives down to his stomach, provoke a drum to play in his heart, and a flee order for his brain. But yet, he’s still there like he was nailed to the ground.

  “Now Caelum, be a good boy and tell me, where’s Kyou?"

  When the scary man’s kneel to the same level as him, and stared to his soul, the snow haired boy thought its the end of him. Countless visions flashed through his eyes in high-speed, each of them tells him the same thing, leaving him tremble in his boots; this man is dangerous.

  General sighed in disappointment. “So for all this years, you haven’t learn any lesson? This reminds me to give that damn slave a painful death when he’s unneeded anymore.”

  When the rugged hand came, it seems like only the wind can fly Caelum away. But a punch hit him square in the stomach, making him move backwards in the speed of light. The impact on the wall leaves some cracks and broken ribs. He can’t even say anything with his mouth full with bubbling blood that rushed out from his mouth. He’s done for, that’s what he thought as he fall out cold.

  Shouta grumbled as he glare daggers at the girl -or anything she is- in front of him. Just a second ago, she talked like a normal human being. But now, she’s more like Izuku’s wild speculation than his.

  “I’ll ask you one more time, and I want you to be serious about this, Frost.”

  “Affirmative.”, she answered with the same plain smile.

  “What the fuck are you?”

  “Question is not valid. Please try again.”

  What an amazing student she is, she just crossed his speculation for being quirkless. He never thought the day will come this soon for him to teach a robot.

  “Then just let me see what’s beside your right ear.”, the pro hero recalled his student’s analysis back then.

  “I’m afraid you can’t do that, sensei.”

  “And why’s that?”

  “It’s a privacy violation. If you still demand to do it, I have no choice but to call the cops.”

  Something seems to clicked inside the male, making him fall into the rage he’s been holding down. “I don’t give a fuck with that shit.”, he said as he wrapped the girl with his special cloth.

  “S-Sensei, what are you doing?”

  His hand stopped in mid-air, and his flushed face starts to show regret. Minoru has come to the room with a confused and scared expression, seeing the hope of his life being mummified by his own teacher.

  “Mineta, it’s not what it looks like.”, the teacher slowly released the girl.

  “Oh, then what is it?”, the younger male asked with unamused tone.

  Shouta bit his bottom lip. “I.. I got too far with Frost. And you came just in time to stop me from doing a bad thing.”, he admitted.

  Minoru just walked to Saki, and gently pulled her hand, guiding her to the exit with a straight face.

  “Just let this be a warning, sensei. For the next one, I won’t hesitate to tell this to the others and let you have their piece of mind.”, he said before walking away.

  He managed to completely have a grip on himself until the silver haired girl is safe in her room. He’s full with unanswered questions that may not have any solution; from the couple’s discussion, and from his sensei’s strange act towards Saki. He doesn’t even know if he should thank Denki about the information about this. If his blonde friend didn’t tell him earlier, who knows what will happen to the best thing of his life.

  Minoru’s life that night is full with uncertainty. It’s another sleepless night with a never ending train of thoughts. What’s different between this night and any other night is that it hurts him more, because he thought about a certain person who he starts to see with doubts. And he hates himself for thinking about it.

~****~

  The death feels nigh for him. He felt it two times on that night; when Caelum was hurt, and when Caelum is  being taken away from him. Not when he’s being beaten up, or badly wounded, and probably die because of blood loss. The pain is incomparable with the pain when he lost his little brother. Now he can only lay in his own pool of blood, while waiting for the stray cat to come. He waited like he waits for his own death; cold and empty. His jaw hurts when it clenched, his eyes burns when tears covered them, his heart hurts when he remembered how the most precious person in his life being taken away. It hurts and he can’t do anything, until help came.

  Never he thought about something more worse than the scenarios he can think about. And life sure is full with surprises; Kyou only wish that it ends soon. He forgot that fate is a jerk too sometimes, and he can’t run from what’s already fixed.
