Our Light

Chapter 3

Not wanting to assume that he'd take him home after that, the boy speaks though the window. "I-I quit my job... I won't be working in there anymore and I'll try and get more s-sleep. You won't h-have to write my notes anymore, Kōhai." He sniffles, stepping back to walk away with his jacket loosely around his shoulders.

Eisuke sighed out keeing his eyes closed before unlocking the door, not saying a word and kept his two fingers on the bridge of his nose. He breathed harshly through his nose and debated if he should yell some more or just drop Daichi off at home and ignore him some more. When he heard the nickname he dropped his hand and opened his eyes staring at Daichi, he knew that nickname made him weak. When the other got in and situated himself in his car, he drove off but took the way to his home. "You are showering and staying at my house."

"I- what?" Watching as the older male's mood changed into something completely different, Daichi just looks at him in slight shock, holding his jacket close. He's been to Eisuke's house only a handful of times, knowing that it was nice and a bit more modern than his own tree home, but he liked being there. Under these circumstances, however, the smaller elf just wanted to go home and hide for as long as possible. Rethinking the situation yet again, he looks back to his friend, mumbling quietly in a soft and gentle tone. "K-Kōhai... You don't need to be nice to me when I know you're mad."

Eisuke could feel his hand gripping the steering wheel harder and harder to the point where it began to freeze over slowly, taking a deep breath he shook his head and turned into a hidden path and drove down the path towards his home "I'm not mad. Just disgusted." he said shutting the car off and getting out, with a slam off the car door he went inside the house with glossy eyes.

He didn't bother to see if Daichi followed and didn't care at the moment, he just went upstairs to his bathroom and turned the shower on so it warmed up and grabbed some clothes for Daichi to change into. Coming back downstairs he went into the kitchen and began to rummage through the fridge and pantry to get some food.

Tearing up a bit, the small boy slowly makes his way out of the car and up into Eisuke's house, sniffling as he tries not to cry in front of the older. Watching as his friend walks right past him and into the kitchen, Daichi hears the water running upstairs and takes a guess that he had started it for the now visibly shaking boy, heading right up to get clean. As he enters the bathroom, closing the door behind him, he collapses onto his knees, letting all of his emotions out at once as he leans back against the bathroom door, hoping the shower would drown out his cries and wails.

Watching the other move towards the bathroom upstairs he felt a bit bad that he made the other cry. Following him he stopped silently outside the door and placed his hands on the door before sighing gently, opening the door he felt his heart hurt seeing his best friend upset. Moving over to him he bent down and collected the boy into his arms and held him close to his body, he felt a sudden need to protect the other even more and lightly kissed the others head. "I'm sorry.."

A bit shocked at the fact that Eisuke walked into the bathroom, Daichi automatically clings to him like a child, burying his face into the taller male's chest as he tries to settle, his whole being shaking as he weeps over his stupid mistakes that ruined his purity. "N-Nn-" He begins to speak, unable to let anything out at this point.

It takes him a while to settle, the water in the shower running cold as he wipes a tear from his cheek. He hasn't cried like that in a long while... not since he met Eisuke. Daichi's red-nosed face slowly looks up at the male, hiccuping a bit as he regains his mental stability.

Eisuke shook his head and just lightly shushed the other "Sh.. okay? just sh." he said sternly yet gently. He felt horrible he made the other cry and although his intentions were just to make the other understand his point, he didn't expect the other to be upset. Picking away at Daichis clothes he set the other into the shower before he washed only the top half of his body and made sure to respect Daichi and not look down or touch him anywhere down there. "Finish up." he said before turning and leaving with a red tint on his cheeks.

The small elf shifts a bit in the shower, covering himself a bit as he lets the older wash him up. His eyes drift to the side when the older leaves him to finish, his mind now racing with questions and thoughts that never really crossed his mind before. This was new- different than with customers and staff members. Something bubbled inside him... a good something.

When Daichi finishes his shower, he dresses and heads downstairs to meet the older male, his gray, wet hair over his eyes as his bright red cheeks peeking out from the shiny strands. "K-Kōhai..."

Eisuke was sitting on the bed with his phone in his hands as he texted away quickly to his other friends before his head snapped up at the others words "Are you feeling better now?" he said lightly. He couldn't make eye contact with the other for some reason due to what happened in the bathroom. The smaller boy nods, shifting in the baggy clothes as he slowly makes his way over to Eisuke, sitting next to him before pulling his phone away. "Look- we need to talk and I don't like it when we don't look at each other and your nose is in your phone." He huffs, shifting to full face the older. "Please don't not look at me... I'm sorry that I made you mad."

Eisuke sighed out before he rested his elbow on the table and stared at the other. "What do you want me to say Daichi? I'm fine with it? You give your body up to other men for what? Nothing. You know how I feel about that, it disgusts me." He said very calmly, taking his phone back he shut it off before rubbing the bridge of his nose again "Why didn't you tell me from the start?" He said "I would've helped you and you know that." Eisuke's eyes wander over the younger's face before he just sighs.

"I was scared... I thought you'd just up and leave me because I know how disgusted you get about those types of things. S-So I pushed through. I've tried to quit... but because I bring in so much money, he wouldn't let me go. That's why I just up and left... and I'm not going back." Daichi finally releases all of his inner stress, looking away from Eisuke for a moment before looking back at him. "I didn't want to lose the only friend I have in my life... I lost so much already." Eisuke looked away from the other before he shut his eyes "I dont want to talk about this anymore, I'm exhausted and had too much to drink" He said mumbling. Standing up roughly he stared at the other before he sighed out and shook his head lightly "You can have my room, i'll be in the spare" With that, he left to the spare room before laying on the bed, curling up into a pillow he rested his head on it before staring off into the night sky. Not wanting to be alone, but knowing his boundaries, Daichi lays down on the older male's bed, not closing his eyes as all of his thoughts run wild. "I screwed up... I screwed up so bad." He mumbles to himself, pulling his legs into his chest slowly while staring off.
