Deviant

Chapter Eight: A Sense of Trepidation...

Kain was quick to reassure Aoba that he could get the plant that Noiz needed. But considering the location of the plant-

"The mountain?!" Aoba exclaimed.

-the brown-eyed man highly doubted that Kain would make it back in time to save Noiz. Not to mention that there was dangerous creatures in the mountains... But Kain looks strong... And he's a deviant as well! But even so...!

Aoba was in the midst of coming up with an argument for Kain not to go into the woods by himself (though that would mean no plant for Noiz...) when-

"Don't worry! Because you see-!"

-CRACK!

A flash of lightning was Aoba's only warning before Kain disappeared Aoba was dumbfounded when... A piece of paper fluttered into his line of vision. With a shaky hand, Aoba plucked the paper from the air and examined it: it was a note. It a masculine scrawl, it read:

I'm fast as fuck~!
     -Kain S.

(When the fuck he had time to right this? He can't be that fast... Right?)

Aoba has been pacing the room ever since. He doesn't know why, but ever since Kain left, he's been feeling skittish. At first, he assumed it was because of Noiz's condition and that they both were practically defenseless in a mysterious deviant's house (whom of which, Aoba still wasn't entirely sure to place his trust in). But when Aoba jumped at every little sound that he heard, or even made, he began to think otherwise. So, Aoba sat dutifully beside Noiz, ready to defend them both from any harm that may befall them. But no amount of preparation could've steeled his nerves for the blood-curling scream whom's voice-...

...sounded like Kain's.
