Our Light

Chapter 6

Hyeon walked into the house and went to find Daichi, seeing him around Eisuke a lot, but he never tried to make a conversation with the other. As he opened the guest room door, he walked over to the bed and leaned over, lightly tapping the other's shoulder. "Daichi?" Becoming tense at the touch, he quickly moves away and ends up on the other side of the bed. His actions were almost animalistic as he watches the other male from the other side of the bed, shaking a bit. Daichi takes the moment to try and speak, sniffling a bit. "W-Where is Eisuke...? I-I only talk with h-him." Hyeon lightly jumped, seeing how fast the other moved. "He left.. you're kinda stuck with me for the weekend." He said, blinking to try and settle. As he stared at the other, he could sense how tense he was. "I won't kill you." The other said, rubbing the back of his neck.

The boy looks down, not wanting to be baby-sat by a stranger at all. He gets up and rushes off down and out of the room, heading to the backyard to try and talk with the animals. Hyeon followed him out and decided to stay behind him. With a sigh, he sat down and whistled gently, letting a little bird fly onto his arm. "Do you speak with the animals too?" Daichi nods a bit, making he sound of a deer as a huge buck walks into the backyard. "Raised by them." He mumbles, nuzzling up close to the buck. "Family." Hyeon lightly jumped, but soon felt himself become at ease. It was a nice sight to see such a connection. "Yeah..? What happened to your parents... if I may ask." He asks, moving to sit next to the other fully. He was curious about the other and was quite frankly fascinated. He never knew anyone else who had the same ability as him, so this was more exciting than anything.

Swallowing a bit hard, the boy turns to look at the taller for a second, hearing some of the animals near by say it's ok to say it. "My- My elven mother died at birth and I don't know who my human father is.... So, when I was born in the forest and my mother passed, the animals took me in. It was the least they could do for her since people tried to destroy it." Tearing up, Daichi holds onto the now laying buck, sniffling as if he were a toddler who was lost in a store. Hyeon rubbed the back of his neck and nodded slowly. It was evident that the other was going through a lot and only seemed comfortable around Eisuke. Sighing softly, he leaned his hand over and rubbed the others back. "I know how it feels.. losing someone who you cared deeply for.. I lost my sister to some hunters. She was out running and they caught her.. haven't seen her since." He mumbles, tears threatening to fall. "Has Eisuke been taking care of you as well? I mean .. you seem to be attached to him." Tensing a bit, Daichi moves away, the deer giving off a warning noise. "He doesn't really- well. Never mind. I guess he does, but... he has to deal with my dumbass on a daily basis. I get myself into so much trouble and I..." He tears up a bit before sniffling, shaking his head. "I've had a crush on him for a while... just confessed this morning."

Hyeon's eyes lightly widen as the other expressed how he liked him, how he confessed to Eisuke just this morning. "I-... wow. Not even his ex confessed to him.. you have some balls." He said, moving away from the other at hearing the warning tone from the deer. The older raised his hands in a calming way to show he ment no harm, looking down at the other after. "I just couldn't hold it in anymore." The male whines, holding onto the deer's leg. "But... I never got an answer really. S-So... I don't think he cares for me like that. I'm probably just a sibling to him... nothing more." Just saying that made the smaller male sad, his eyes still watering like the child he is. Hyeon lightly cringed at the thought of love, though, he wasn't making fun of the other for liking Eisuke. He just didn't like love in general. "Well.. you know how Eisuke is. He tends to be more of a quiet, action speaks louder than words, type of person." The other slips out a soft chuckle, knowing just how the older acted. "Just.. give him some time after his trip. You want to order some food? We can watch some movies too-" He nods a bit, telling the buck to walk off and head back home. "Yeah. I-I guess that's ok." The buck wanders off as the boy stands, shuffling his hair up a bit before stretch. "A-And... thank you for listening."

Hyeon just lightly shrugged and brushed it off "No problem, I'm nice to whoever Eisuke is friends with. What would you like? Pizza, Chinese food? I may want a bit of both." He said, laughing a bit at his own glutenous ways. "I... I don't eat meat." Daichi mumbles, a bit embarrassed at his own food preference around new people. "W-We could do a half and half pizza maybe? Eisuke and I do it all the time when I'm over and we don't want to cook. Hyeon nodded and smiled gently. "Perfect! You seem like a cheese guy." The older said before calling the pizza place, placing their order in on the table. He hummed gently and went to the living room. "Should be here in thirty minutes or so... you can pick the movie since I ordered." Daichi nods a bit, scrolling through Netflix on his phone before spotting a movie. "C-Can we watch a scary movie? E-Eisuke never let me watch any." Hyeons eyes widen as he pretends to be scared, wanting to joke a bit with the smaller elf. "A horror m-movie?" He stutters, letting his hands and lip quiver. "I-I- sure." Dropping the act quickly, with a gentle laugh, he turned on the first scary movie he could find. "You know, you could get a lot more friends if you weren't so shy. I mean, you are cute and seem easy to get along with. Why are you afraid to meet people and make friends?"

Feeling a bit hurt by the small act, he sniffles and turns his back to the other male, slowly sliding up his shirt to show the countless scars and wounds from people that he called friends a long, long time ago. "I trust no one... Only Eisuke. He saved me when no one would." Hyeon first was staring at the tv, not knowing what the other was talking about before his eyes slowly looked down at the marks on the others back. His mouth dropped and he felt his chest get heavy. "I... does Eisuke know?" He asks, rubbing the back of his neck. "Why.." The older said gently, lightly holding the other's shirt, he ran his thumb over the marks and felt himself get upset at this thought. "You are strong, you know.."

Flinching away from the other's touch, the boy covers up the small bit of the scars he showed, nodding a bit. "Eisuke saved me from them... the people I called my friends. They left me wounded and helpless in the woods before he caught them and got them all arrested." Slowly he shows his arms and chest, holding the shirt tightly in his hands as he fully looks at Hyeon. "This is why I don't want anyone else but Eisuke... because I'm too scared that people will leave me lifeless and alone, stripped of everything in the woods again." Hyeon frowns before nodding, moving away to give the other space. "That is understandable.. you have that bond with him that no one can break." He gives the other a gentle smile, knowing that he hated being touch. He moved his arms up and sent the other a hand heart. Hearing the doorbell ring, he snapped his fingers and handed the money to the other. "Can you get that for us? I need to make a quick call." The taller said before moving to the other room, making sure the younger didn't follow. Becoming slightly tense, the smaller male puts a hat on before heading to the door, paying for the food silently as he takes it and rushes off into the kitchen with the food close to him. "I-I want him to come back... I can't last two days without Eisuke." He mumbles to himself, tears in his eyes as the wounds begin to burn on his skin. "A-Ah!" Eisuke blinked as Daichi didn't even say a word to him, tilting his head to the other he chuckled as he saw how quickly the other shut the door. Being the one who picked up their food, Hyeon didn't call the pizza place, he called Eisuke to try and make Daichi feel better. As he opened it up and silently crept over to the kitchen, he covered the others eyes and lightly whispered in his ear. "Boo~"
