You Have My Heart :The Mounting Breakdown

Chapter 38 : The devil who kills

Story's Date : May 27, 2019; Monday

Narrator's POV :

Today was going to be the happiest day for Shindou. He was going to get revenge for everything Kariya has done to him. He was going to pay. The graynette could already see the future, where the male will be on the ground, begging for him to stop. He won't, obviously, so there was actually no use. He giggled as he looked at himself in the mirror, then at the side where Ibuki was standing. The older male had a frown plastered upon his face, and looked at the back of his head quietly, all the while crossing his arms. "What's wrong, baby boo ? Why are you sad ?" He asked, now walking towards the taller basketball player.

"Sweetheart, are you sure this is fine ? What if we get caught ? I won't forgive myself if something bad were about to happen to you." He said with worry in his voice. In seconds, Shindou looked at him in pure understanding, his smirk long gone, replaced with concern. "Mune, you know we have to....He—"

"He can't control you. This is what he wants, not what you want. Are you okay with seeing your friends hurt ?" Shindou flinched. Then looked down at the ground, tears forming his eyes. He tried to wipe them away, but the water in his eyes were persistent. His feelings were too. ". . . .N-No. . ." He said in a hushesd but trembling voice. "He will do something bad...I know I'm selfish but that's because I'm trying to save Kirino's life. I don't really love her, sure, but she's been there for me...for as long as I can remember....I can't...let her die...No...No..." He cried.

All the frustrations are sweeping out of his grasp, going haywire everywhere. Ibuki watched with empathy. He wished he could do something to help his lover, but he can't think of a safer way than this. He was running out of hope. Hope that everyone will be okay and no one will be killed by the monster in the house. The hope was a string thin, barely enough to lift his spirits anymore. But it's better than nothing, he supposed. After calming down, Shindou looked up at the male and sternly said, with determination and seriousness in his voice "I would rather be the devil who kills rather than be killed by the devil. Let's go."

"Hai."

The duo walked in the school halls, catching stares of fear coming their way. The park beat up that happened before had reached the school like a plague and before he knew it, he was the most feared student of them all. Even the delinquents were scared. His teachers, who adored him in the past, now looked at him with utter disappointment, refusing to say a word to him again. It was painful, not satisfying. He was scared and hollow. Speechless and depressed. But feared. He didn't want this to happen, but he didn't have control over his decisions. He never had. And never will. He made sure of that years ago.

It was all jumbling up and his anxiety was getting worse. The peer pressure is getting to him, and it was like a taste of fire. He wanted nothing more than to be free from his frustrations are worries, but of course he can't do that because of him. He won't let him do that, and it was driving him insane. All these years of pain and sorrow, he never had the chance to be truly happy. He forgot how to smile with pure sincerity and laugh genuinely. He forgot about those a long time ago. Slowly, he went to class and sat next to Ibuki, who was now in his right. Kirino (who was on spying duty) looked at Shindou and half-heartedly glared.

The graynette felt the eyes of his former friend at the back of his head, creating holes. He tried to ignore it, but it wad still there. So he did the only thing he could to stop it. He looked back, and smiled sinisterly. Kirino immediately looked away in disgust, causing the other to sigh in relief. It hurt, knowing his best friend found him disgusting. It once again worsen his anxiety, and he began trembling. The white-haired basketball player noticed, and without hesitance he stood up and motioned for the other to follow him.

"W-Wha...." Takuto whispered, looking at the male in confusion, but obliged. There were a few eyes eyeing them, but neither cared about that. He stood up and followed him outside, thinking whatever the other has in mind. They went out and into the boys bathroom where Ibuki calmed his dear lover down. The pressure he was feeling was intense, but the hands on his back were slightly helping. It was soothing, the intense atmosphere morphed into a relaxing one, thanks to the taller boy's comfort. "Thank you, Mune..."

"You okay now ?"

"Y-Yeah....I-I think so..."

"Alright, let's head back to class."

"O-Okay..."

😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓

It was horrible. The sight of the teal first year with bruises and cuts were terrible. Shindou looked around to make sure no one was watching. They were currently beside an abandoned shack, close to the school. When Kariya was walking home, Ibuki grabbed him by the arm and led him to the venue of pain that Shindou was in. From there....was the worst to come. Kariya looker at the older male and the unknown person, anger evident in his eyes. "Why....are you doing this ?" He asked. "Because I want Kirino for myself." He replied with a smirk. "W-What you're doing is wrong...Ranmaru will never see you the same way as she did before..." The cat-eyes male spat, and for a moment he saw pain in the other's face. Silence lasted for a brief moment, but the other soon broke it. "I know." Shindou's eyes were hidden underneath his bangs and his fists were balled. It was as if he was containing something inside of him.

He grit his teeth and turned around. "She never will. I'm sorry....Kariya." He walked away, and the whitehead walked after. Kariya, who now processed what the other had just said, widened his eyes. "What....?" He asked himself. The first year defender looked in front of him, where he saw his two tormentors walking away. They had a bat in hand, but never used on him. 'Did you just say....sorry ?' Before he can call out, the duo was out of sight. Masaki could only wonder 'Why....?'.

🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕

"Did you do it, Takuto ? Did you beat the brat up ?"

".....Yes, I did."

"Good. Now the next target will be Kirino Ranmaru herself."

"What are you gonna do ?"

"You'll see, my boy. You'll see."

'And yet the devil still killed me. Inside.'
