***** The Prophecy *****
Title: Le Petit Prince 
Rating: M
Pairing: Delic x Hibiya
Prompt from the Drrr Kink Meme: Hibiya was born late. Angst happens.
Disclaimer: I own none of these characters!
THIS STORY CONTAINS MALExMALE RELATIONSHIPS. You have been warned.
===============================================================================
"You have got to be kidding me." Delic muttered as he glared down at the
informant.
"Nope. You wanted a soulmate? I got you one. This is Hibiya. Say hello to
Delic, Hibi-chan~"
Izaya grabbed the small plump arm of the baby and waved it at the young blond
man standing before him. Izaya cooed at the child as he sat on his black
cushioned swivel chair and the baby went 'gaah~' and smiled right back at the
stormy-brewing blond.
"I asked for a soulmate. I didn't ask to be a babysitter." Delic slammed his
fist onto the desk. It startled the baby who immediately started to cry.
"Now, now. That's not very nice. See? Now you made him cry." Izaya shrugged.
Psyche and Tsugaru who were watching this scene from the small conference area
looked at each other with worried eyes. They both knew how much Delic had been
looking forward for this moment.
"I'm eighteen, Izaya. And I am not pedo!" Delic yelled, ignoring the cries of
the child that filled the room.
"Oh well then. Guess you'll have to wait huh?" Izaya's eyes slit into a cruel
teasing smirk.
===============================================================================
Once upon a time, in a concrete kingdom far, far away, there was a prophet who
watched over the crowd. One day he grew bored just 'watching' and wanted to be
a real god.
The 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-a-god' then created a man of his image and his
likeness. He told the man, "you shall be named Psyche, like the Lilith who was
more beautiful than the goddess of love, Aphrodite herself. And all that is
good and fruitful in this world will be yours."
But the 'man-of-his-image' was a failure. He cried all day and night that he
was lonely and that he did not need anything. Instead he desired a partner.
The 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-a-god' said, "It is not good for you to be alone.
Let us create a suitable partner and a helper for your soul."
And thus the 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-a-god' created a man of his enemy's
image and his enemy's likeness.
All was good and well for awhile but it was still not right. Both the 'man-of-
his-image' and the 'man-of–his-enemy's-image' were a failure who were perfectly
satisfied with each other. But this was not according to the plan of the
'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-a-god.'
So he created another man. A man who had both aspect of the 'man-of-his-image'
and the 'man-of–his-enemy's-image.' And thus he named this man…
===============================================================================
"Delic! Where are you going?" Psyche shouted as Delic stormed out of the
studio. He chased after him because everyone knew that only Psyche had the
power to calm the man down.
"It's none of your business isn't it? Hope you have some fun times with nii-
san~." Delic spit out those words and ran out.
Delic hated Tsugaru for being born earlier, his other self. Delic hated Izaya
for creating him alone.
And Delic hated the world for twisting his destiny, losing whatever chance he
could have had with Psyche, his other self.
 
===============================================================================
And thus he named this man, 'the-man-who-searched-for-his-soulmate.'
***** The Magic Spell *****
The 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-a-god' decided that it was no good for 'the-man-
who-searched-for-his-soulmate' to be alone. Thus he created a man of his image
and named him, 'the little prince.'
However'the-man-who-searched-for-his-soulmate' rejected the little prince and
went on a journey in search for his true soulmate. He traveled far and wide and
met many women and men. None however touched his heart.
And thus the young 'little prince' grew up alone, with his brothers who loved
him like parents, and the man who spoiled him like a king.
 
===============================================================================
"Ne, ne. So why does mama look like Izaya?" the child asked. As soon as Hibiya
could walk, he terrorized the place, like the spoiled brat he was. And as soon
as he could talk, he asked hard-pressed and confusing questions.
"Well Psyche was created by Izaya, that's why." Psyche said proudly.
Izaya was the godfather who bought Hibiya everything he wanted. Despite how
spoiled he was, Tsugaru and Psyche loved the child with all their hearts.
"Then why was papa created?" the child asked, sitting in the middle of his room
surrounded with blocks of toys, trains and teddy bears.
"Papa was created to be with Psyche. Papa loves Psyche and Psyche loves papa."
Psyche answered cheerfully.
"Then, then. Why was I born?" the child asked again as he hugged a huge teddy
bear almost the size of himself. He had a paper crown on his head and make-
shift armors. He was playing 'king of the world,' a game Izaya played with him
from time to time. Hibiya got to be the young prince while Izaya played the
role of a god.
Tsugaru smiled and patted him on his head.
"To be loved of course."
"Ne, ne. If Papa and mama are born to love each other, then who loves me?"
Tsugaru and Psyche exchanged a slightly worried glance before Tsugaru patted
him on the head again.
"We both love you Hibi-chan."
Hibiya frowned. He was only five but he had sharp intuition. It was as if his
'parents' were keeping a secret from him and he could sense it.
During the night when Izaya came home after a meeting outside of the office,
Hibiya secretly snuck out to tug at the fur trimmed coat. Again he asked the
same question.
His young godfather's red eyes slit into an amused smirk, dancing like a devil
thrilled to seal another soul.
"Hibi-chan, you were born for Delic and Delic was born for you." He replied.
Something about that name sent shivers of excitement down the small body as the
red eyed devil told him secrets in the darkest hour of the night.
"Who's Delic? Why isn't he with me?"
"Delic is under a spell. You see, when you're asleep, he's awake. And when you
are awake, he sleeps."
"How can I wake him?" Hibiya's eyes sparkled at hearing this information.
"Good question. How does one wake up a sleeping princess?" Izaya's eyes also
glittered like ruby gems as he picked up the young boy and tucked him to bed.
===============================================================================
The little prince had everything he wanted. He was given a kingdom and a horse.
He was given good food and pampering. He was given everything under the sun and
the moon as long as he wished it, the 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god' gave it to
him.
But it was strangely unsatisfying. It left the little prince hungrier and
hungrier. He was given everything materialistic. He was given all the love of
the people around him.
But something was missing.
But something was lacking.
There was a gap in his heart and nothing could make up that hole no matter how
much the little prince ate.
 
===============================================================================
Hibiya pouted as he waited for the subway trains. He hated school. All the kids
were dumb, the teachers were dumb and everyone was dumb. Izaya had taught him
arithmetic early in his life and he already knew how to read hiragana, katakana
and a decent number of kanji.
While the kid next to him couldn't figure out 1+2.
Hibiya sighed. School was boring and he didn't want to go. Then he remembered
that Psyche and Tsugaru had said that they had to go shopping for dinner that
day and that Izaya had another meeting outside of the office.
The seven years old Hibiya snickered mischievously as he casually walked back
home, intending to stay home and play games all day.
He turned the keys and opened the door to Izaya's apartment. He closed the door
and kicked off his shoes. He almost stormed into his room to play video games
when he noticed a mess of blond hair peeking out as if someone was sleeping on
the black couch in the conference area.
A bit surprised, wondering if he was a burglar, Hibiya tip-toed carefully over,
his heart pounding loudly in his ears. He bravely stepped forward, ready to hit
the man with his book bag if necessary to defend his little kingdom.
Right before he landed a strike, Hibiya stopped. The man who was sleeping on
the couch was beautiful, a lock of his golden hair lightly tumbling down in
front of his closed eyes. He looked like Tsugaru but he was different. He wore
a white suit with black pin-stripped pink shirt. He had a white and pink
headset as if he had fallen asleep listening to a lullaby.
Hibiya's heart thumped wildly, his blood rushing to his face as he silently
watched the sleeping face.
He had seen people outside. It was rare to see anyone with the same face. He
knew that it was already unusual that Psyche looked like Izaya. And somehow
seeing a man who looked like Tsugaru, and Izaya's words when he was a child
clicked in his head.
His childish intuition told him that this was Delic, the one cursed with the
sleeping spell.
"Good question. How does one wake up a sleeping princess?"
Izaya's words of that night rang true to his ears as Hibiya kneeled in front of
the man. With determined eyes, he leaned forward and kissed him lightly on his
lips.
***** The Curse *****
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
The man's eyes immediately flashed open and Hibiya stared into those beautiful
pink orbs. He was excited and happy to have finally awaken 'Delic' when
suddenly the man grabbed the collar of his shirt and roughly pulled him close,
his eyes filled with anger.
"Brat. Did you just kiss me?"
Hibiya stared back at the man, confused and terrified.
===============================================================================
The young prince kissed the 'the-man-who-searched-for-his-soulmate' hoping to
free him of his curse.
However the 'princess' turned into a 'beast' as he woke up in rage.
===============================================================================
"Y-yes?" Hibiya stammered, unsure of why he was so angry.
Delic angrily threw Hibiya to the ground. The boy fell on his ass, the hard
floor bruising him.
"Ow! What was that for?" Hibiya yelled angrily. He has never been mistreated
before in his entire life.
Standing up, Delic hissed as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
Whatever retort Hibiya had, he swallowed it as he cowered slightly. The man was
tall and his glare menacing.
"Don't you dare touch me again."
With that threatening warning, Delic stormed out of the studio, slamming the
door shut. Hibiya sat there, his heart beating erratically, his face flushed
red. He didn't understand why his heart was running so violently and his entire
body warmed up.
But he did know that he was humiliated for the first time in his life. This man
even dared to walk out on him.
And he hated this man who had given him the first taste of shame.
===============================================================================
'The-man-who-searched-for-his-soulmate' searched far and wide. He looked east
and west, north and south. He looked up and down, amongst the elites and
amongst the undergrounds.
He spoke with many men and women, flirted with all kinds of humans, slept with
many.
But each left him emptier and emptier.
He felt hollow in side.
Hollow.
Hollow.
 
Hollow.
===============================================================================
"Well, I haven't seen you in awhile. How's it like being the number one host in
Tokyo?" Izaya said as he sipped his coffee and typed away.
Delic didn't reply as he tossed the fat envelope filled with cash.
"Here's the regular fee." He said with a shrug.
Izaya turned around and checked the amount inside. "Mmhmm. Nice. I admit, you
definitely earn a lot more than Tsugaru and Psyche put together."
At the mention of Psyche's name, Delic winced visibly. Izaya smirked at the
small reaction.
"Guess you've been busy. Found the right one yet? Slept around with enough
people?" Izaya casually asked, knowing how much it would hurt the blond.
Delic remained silent as he turned around.
"Psyche's sleeping with Tsugaru in the room so I wouldn't want to disturb them.
It is late after all."
Delic turned his eyes sharply, glaring at the man who gave him life.
"I'm not here for him."
"Oh really. Just to drop off the money again? I know sometimes when I'm not
here, you peek inside to see Psyche sleeping."
"Haha. Very funny."
Delic turned around to open the door to another room, just a crack to see a
sleeping boy inside.
"He's turned twelve now. Growing fast isn't he?" Izaya walked over and looked
inside the room too. Delic's eyes scoured the dark room, noticing disorganized
mess of toys.
"Horses?" Delic raised his eyebrow at the many plushies and toys, all of which
were horse themed.
"Yep horses. I've been telling him many fairytales which got him interested in
playing 'I'm the prince of the world!' game." Izaya said as he lifted his hands
in the air and cheered out loud, but still only slightly above a whisper.
"Ever since then, he's been collecting horses. He kept saying he had a princess
he needed to rescue."
Delic snorted. "I bet you implanted that idea to begin with."
"That I did. I even told him that you're under a terrible curse~~~" Izaya
wiggled his fingers like warlock casting a spell.
"Whatever." Delic closed the door, least they woke up the boy.
"And that in order to break it, he needs to kiss you. Though he kinda thought
of that on his own I think. Anyways, he's quite infatuated with you I think. Or
just infatuated with being a prince, not sure which." Izaya shrugged as he went
back to his desk to finish his work. It was late, the night growing old, and he
had a lot of work to finish still.
Delic walked to the door.
"Going already? Don't want to see Psyche?" Izaya asked, his devilish teasing
eyes merry.
"Very funny." Delic glared one last time as he opened the door.
"Have fun with your journey Delic. Though they say, you may search far and
wide, but the jewel you've been searching for was always right in front of
you."
Delic snorted mockingly before he closed the door shut.
Chapter End Notes
     Author's Note:
     A friend of mine told me that she didn't realize this fic was based
     on the book "Le Petit Prince" and she even read it before and said
     perhaps I should make a quick author's note for those who don't know
     it... OTL.
     So yes. This fic has references from the French Classic novel "Le
     Petit Prince" (along with other stuff of course lol) Those who never
     read it, it might be fun to at least wiki it for the references
     Thank you for reading!
***** Adventure *****
The little prince had an uncanny ability to see through people. When the
'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god' drew a hat, the little prince said "that's a
scary picture." When 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god' asked why, the little
prince said, 'because, it's a boa constrictor trying to digest an elephant."
Then the 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god' petted his dark hair and said, "Good
boy. You're not a failure like the other one."
"What other one?" the little prince asked.
"Why Lilith of course. And Adam and Eve. Though the story is now convoluted and
Eve is in love with Lilith and lost his love to Adam. You'd think Adam and Eve
would have the happier ending but I guess not."
"I don't understand." The little prince tilted his head. "So one of them is
alone?"
"Eve went on a search for his love." The 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god' said.
"You see, on this planet, there is one single flower. The most beloved and the
most beautiful flower in the world. But not knowing this, Eve went on a journey
to find the most beautiful flower in the world. He passed through dozens of
gardens, fields of flowers after flowers, but in the end they were all the same
to his eyes, unbeknownst that the most beautiful flower in the world was at his
own house."
"Why? Why couldn't he tell that the most beautiful flower he loved was at his
house?" the little prince asked impatiently.
"Because he was placed under a curse. You see, the flower was invisible only to
him, though everyone else could see it."
"That's kind of sad." The little prince commented.
"Yes it is." The 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god' replied.
"I'll break the curse then!" the little prince chimed happily.
"Ah~ a young prince on a white horse. Though to break the curse, you'll need a
white horse."
"Draw me one!" the little prince demanded.
The 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god' smiled and said, "Alas, but I can't draw a
horse. However I can draw you a box." And swiftly he drew a box.
"And my horse is in it isn't it?" the little prince took the drawing of a
simple box and held it up high.
"Why yes. You should take good care of it."
"When can the horse come out?" the little prince pouted, still staring at the
unmoving image.
"Only time can unlock that spell, little prince." Said the 'prophet-who-wanted-
to-be-god.'
"How long?" the little prince frowned anxiously.
"A long, long time." Said the 'prophet-who-wanted-to-be-god,' his reddish devil
eyes gleaming playfully.
"Long like how long a sleeping beauty sleeps."
===============================================================================
"Linda… I don't know about this…" Tengoku said wearily as he adjusted his green
shades and pulled at his weird green shirt.
"You're fine, you're fine! How do I look?" Linda showed off his white jacket
and tight pants. "Look mature huh?"
"I don't know… I still don't think this will work…" the short dark haired boy
stared at his fake I.D. that Hibiya asked Izaya to make for them. "I'm…
Ryuugamine Mikado? Who the heck is this?"
"And I'm Kida Masaomi. Yep. They look like us, I'm sure we'll be able to pass
it off as them."
"… I still don't think we look old enough to go to host clubs…"
"It's fine, it's fine! It's Hibiya's 15th birthday! It's what he wanted.
Besides," Linda turned to face the large mirror and tried to do a 'sexy pose.'
"I want some adventure! This will be great!"
"Guys, guys! How do I look?" Hibiya opened the door and strutted forward.
Linda and Tengoku both gasped at their classmate.
"… Hibiya." Tengoku said cautiously.
"Yeah?" Hibiya proudly adjusted his crown and cape.
"I… don't think you'd pass off for 20+ with that outfit."
"Why not? I think I look quite spiffy." Hibiya twirled around, his brown cape
trailing behind him and his fake crown flashing loudly.
Linda groaned.
"This wouldn't do at all. Do you really have no other clothes to make you
look older? That's fucking terrible!"
"What! I've always wanted to wear this when I go to the host club for the first
time!" Hibiya pouted with his hands on his hips. He wanted to meet Delic and he
wanted to be his prince on a white horse. It was a childish dream but he was
sure he could pull it off with Izaya's help. He was like a godfairy, always
equipped with magical items that turned his fantasies to reality. Hibiya
whipped out his fake I.D. card Izaya had made for him.
"Besides, I look exactly like Izaya when he was 20. So they wouldn't question
me."
Linda and Tengoku stared at each other with 'the look.'
"Okay buddy of mine, we're gonna give you a new make-over." Linda hooked one
arm on Hibiya's side.
"Let's go Hibiya." Tengoku said as he hooked the other arm and they both
dragged him away.
"W-wait, wait! I'm totally going to the host club in this outfit! Dammit I
will!" Hibiya kicked and screamed as his two best friends dragged him away.
Linda went straight to his room and his jaw dropped when he stared at his
closet.
"What the hell Hibiya! You have nothing but costumes in your closet!"
"They aren't costumes~" Hibiya whined as he pried his arms free. "These are
legit clothes! Custom made for me."
"Do you cosplay some medieval character everyday? There's nothing here but like
some European middle ages garment!" Linda shuffled through the clothes, ripping
a few off of the hangers to inspect them, seeing this way and that, hoping
maaaybe it could pass off for something normal.
"Renaissance era. Not that any of you know the difference." Hibiya huffed.
"What the fuck, of course I know! Did you forget that I'm a French transfer
student?" Linda rolled his eyes.
"Yeah with a gay name. Who the heck names their child 'Linda'" Hibiya rolled
his eyes as he crossed his arms. Tengoku eyed his two friends nervously, not
wanting a fight to break out.
"Whatever man. Like pink is hot on real men, only a real man can handle even a
girly name. Besides," Linda flashed a smile, his white flawless teeth shining,
"the chicks dig it!"
Now both of his classmates rolled their eyes.
"Okay, this won't do. Let's go through some of Izaya's clothes or something."
Linda commented as he marched out of the closet.
"He-hey! No rummaging through Izaya's! He'll kill me!" Hibiya ran after his
friend.
Linda stopped at a door next to Hibiya's room. "Hey, you know. I've always been
curious. I've always been through all the rooms at your place Hibiya, but never
this one. Why's that?"
"Dunno. Everyone told me to stay out of it." Hibiya shrugged, not really
interested.
"Don't you wonder if they told you to keep out?" Linda's eyes gleamed
mischievously.
"Not really. I mean, I don't have the keys so I can't get in anyw- hey!"
Linda already pulled out the keys from his pocket and unlocked the door.
"Where the hell did you get that?" Hibiya shouted in shock.
"Filched it from Izaya's desk last time I came. Thought it might be handy. Now
come on, let's go take a look!"
"W-we really shouldn't be doing this guys…" Tengoku looked around nervously
though the entire place was empty save for them. Tsugaru and Psyche had gone
out for their nightly dinner date and Izaya was busy out meeting another
client.
His Raira classmates ignored him as they walked in.
It was a neat and clean room. There wasn't much there except for a bed and a
desk.
"Heh, I guess Psyche keeps this place clean. There's not even a speck of dust
here." Hibiya mumbled as he looked around. It was curiously empty. He wondered
why he wasn't allowed in here if there were no secrets buried within.
Linda however, went straight for the closet.
"Whoa… check these clothes! Nice threads!" Linda shouted as he opened the
closet. Tengoku and Hibiya both rushed after him.
Hibiya's eyes widened at the rows and rows of suits, tux, dress shirts and
dress pants along with another stack of rows of dress shoes.
"Gucci, Christian Dior, Chanel… and holy shit a collection of Rolex watches?"
Linda eyed the treasure cove he had dug out.
"This… is Delic's room." Hibiya realized as he walked inside the walk-in closet
in awe. "It was next to mine all along…" Hibiya was stunned and mesmerized as
he touched the soft luxurious fabric.
"Hey, this one might fit you." Linda said as he pulled out a white suit which
was slightly smaller than the rest of them. "We might need some safety pins
though. Still kinda big on ya."
They both looked through to find the matching pants and a smaller size dress
shirt. The only shirt that worked was a black shirt with pink pin-strips.
Though Hibiya didn't like the pink, Linda insisted that 'only real men can pull
off pink.'
Hibiya felt a bit weirded out at wearing Delic's clothes, but they were running
out of time and option.
Locking the doors behind them, they headed out to the neon streets of Tokyo
seeking women, treasures and adventure.
***** The Snake *****
The little prince when on a journey to search for the most beautiful rose.
Though he knew that the rose was at Eve's house, Eve was never home as he was
in his vain search.
So the prince followed the rumors after rumors, travelling through planets
after planets, galaxies of stars after stars, chasing after 'the most beautiful
flower' for surely he will come across 'the-man-who-searches-for-his-soulmate.'
===============================================================================
"Alright Hibiya, which one do you wanna try?" Linda spread his arms wide as
they walked through the neon-colored streets. The flashing lights were blinding
and Tengoku was very happy that he had his shades on.
Hibiya observed them seriously. He wasn't sure which one was the one Delic
worked at however.
"Let's check each of them one by one? Izaya lend me his creditcard to use for
the night so I can buy anything I want."
"Great! So let's go to that one maybe?" Linda excitedly pointed at one of the
host clubs where a few women were standing by the entrance, welcoming the men
inside.
Hibiya frowned. He was pretty sure that since Delic worked as a host, he
wouldn't be working in a host club with hostesses where they served men.
"Not that one. How about that one?" Hibiya pointed at the one across from it.
In front of the entrance were a few hosts in suits who welcomed the women
inside.
Linda gawked in disbelief. "Hibiya. That's for women. We're men. And it's not a
gay Cabaret. We can't go inside! Besides, I thought you wanted women to host
us!"
"Well they can't say no to customers can they? We have money. It's against the
law to discriminate. So why don't we give it a try?" Hibiya insisted. He didn't
actually understand the rules.
Linda slapped his hand to his forehead. "Hibiya~ It doesn't work that way. I
mean if you want to go to a gay bar that's fine but…" Linda then eyed his
friend suspiciously. "Wait. Hibi-kun. Are you… gay?"
"NO! I mean… what does that have to do with anything?" Hibiya's cheeks flushed.
Sure he kinda sorta thought Delic was beautiful and still haven't found anyone
as good looking as him, despite the fact that his attitude sucked and looked
uncomfortably too similar to Tsugaru, but Delic was different. Delic had an air
of confidence and eyes that shined with charisma and intelligence. Tsugaru was
just nice and understanding, kinda like a boring papa. Delic was exciting and
interesting, even if he was an asshole.
Sometimes Hibiya wandered off around Tokyo in search of him but he never saw
him. It only made sense since he worked at nights and slept during the day.
That was what Izaya had meant, Hibiya realized. Delic worked as a host, so he
was always out during the night working while came home during the day to sleep
while Hibiya was in school.
A few times Hibiya would skip school to see if he could catch Delic at home
again, but he never did save for that one time when he was a child.
It was strange. It was only one meeting, but his entire world flipped upside
down on that fateful day.
"Earth to Hibi-kuuun~ Helloooo~" Linda waved his hand in front of the dazed
Hibiya.
Hibiya blinked, his face still slightly flushed.
"A-anyways. It's my birthday, and I want to try it!"
"Fine birthday boy~ If that's what you want~ Don't blame me if they kick us
out, I'll dust off your gay ass for ya~" Linda shrugged as he led the way.
"I'm telling you, I'm not gay!" Hibiya yelled as he ran to catch up with him.
Tengoku sighed in grief as he trailed behind his friends, worried with anxiety.
===============================================================================
Finally the little prince met with a snake.
"Have you seen Eve?" the little prince asked.
"Eve? Hmm~ puuuurhapssss~" hissed the serpent. "I~ reeeeemembeeeerrr a young
man of that dessssscription. I toooold him to take a fruit from thisssss
treeeee~ and he will knooooow good and evil and thus the wissssdom will grant
him the eyessss to seek what he seeeekssss."
The little prince tilted his head in confusion. "So where did he go?"
"I~ can taaaake you to him. Buuuuut your body is tooooo heavy…."
"What should I do?"
"Let me bite you once~ A small biiiiiite. The poison will separate your body
from your ssssssoul, thus enabling meeee to carry you to him."
"Alright." The young innocent prince agreed.
"Just one bite, right?"
"Yesssss…." The serpent flicked out his tongue and smirked.
"Jusssst ooooone biiiiite."
===============================================================================
"We… don't serve your kind here." The men told Linda, confused.
"Yes, yes. Well. Izaya here, it's his 20th's birthday see~ And he really wants
to check this place out. Just a quick look." Linda quickly ad-libbed, doing his
best for his friend.
Hibiya nodded confidently, triumphantly showing his fake I.D. card while
Tengoku huddled behind him nervously.
The hosts still looked confused at what to do.
"But sir, we're not … well… we don't do…"
"Yes, yes. But just make it an exception for us? We really just want to take
a quick look. On a whim!" Linda quickly spoke fast.
The hosts still hesitated while one of the manager finally came to the front,
followed by another host who had ran to get him.
Chills ran down all the Raira Gakuen boys' spines as they looked up at the man
with flaming red hair and gaudy red suit to match. What made them really shiver
was the large ugly scar behind the shade.
"So, you boys want to take a quick looksie? Oy-chan can give you a tour." Said
the manager after he had a quick briefing from his hosts.
"We're not boys!" Hibiya flashed his I.D. card angrily. "I'm a man now!"
"Ah~ yes. I see." The red head nodded as he barely looked at the I.D.. Instead
he looked straight at Hibiya's face and smirked.
"Were you looking for something special? We have the A class seats and the B
class seats. And of course a full list of hosts of your choice. There's special
rooms too of course if that's your preference." The manager led them to the
front where the large screen T.V. flipped on with images of hosts and variety
of room services.
Hibiya quickly glanced to the images of the hosts available and murmured, "he's
not here…"
"Hmm? Who's not here?" The manager asked, leaning on the cane he held in front
of him.
"Ah, no. Nothing." Hibiya quickly said.
"No, no. Say it out loud for me. Who are you looking for? Perhaps I can
recommend you or direct you a correct path." The manager waved his elaborately
engraved cane nonchalantly.
Hibiya hesitated before he spoke with a firm voice. "I'm looking for the number
one host in Tokyo."
Linda and Tengoku looked at Hibiya with confused eyes. But the red haired
manager played it off coolly. "Aaah~ the number one. Well, that's really a
matter of opinion. I do think we have the number one host but you just said
'he' is not here."
"Well, he.. he's blond…" Hibiya started to describe. "With pinkish eyes… really
tall and good-looking. He wears white suits a lot?" Hibiya thought to say the
name 'Delic' but he was pretty sure that he would be using his 'host' name and
probably not very useful to say. Besides, Izaya always said not to give out
personal information, ever.
"Of course. He must be tall and good-looking to be a host after all," the
manager said agreeably. "Though blond with pinkish eyes… he sounds like a cute
rabbit than human." He chuckled.
Hibiya's face flushed, not liking that he was being laughed at. Or at least he
felt like he was being laughed at.
"Well, if he's not here, I'll just leave." Hibiya started marching out.
"Ah-ah-ah~~ not so fast." The manager blocked his path with a strut of his
cane.
"He may not be here but I do know a host of that description."
"You do?" Hibiya exclaimed loudly.
"Yes. He works at a neighboring host club. I can take you there." The manager
offered.
"Really?" Hibiya looked up happily, though Linda and Tengoku still stood by his
sides uncertain at the strange situation.
"Yes of course. Please follow me." The manager walked forward. Hibiya quickly
followed but Linda grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back.
"Psst! Hello lover-boy~ Didn't Izaya teach you not to follow strangers?"
The man with the red hair chuckled at the entrance when he noticed how
suspicious Linda glared at him and how nervously Tengoku eyed him.
"My, my. So what will it be. Will you follow me to the rabbit hole in search of
this white rabbit? Or will you search for him yourself?"
Hibiya stood, trying to decide what to do. Linda and Tengoku shook their heads
no, but this man had tempted him with possibly a chance to meet Delic.
"I'm going." Hibiya decided. If something goes wrong, he could always phone
Izaya. He would always come to save him whenever he was in trouble. The magic
fairy godfather who solved everything.
Linda and Tengoku sighed. They didn't want to abandon their friend so they both
decided to follow.
But as soon as they stepped inside the back seat of the limousine, suddenly gas
started to fill in. Panicking, they all tried to open the doors to the vehicle
but it was locked. They banged on the windows as the sleep slowly took over
their minds, their hands slipping down the glass as they fell to the carpeted
floor.
Hibiya slowly drifted into sleep as he heard the strange man say, "have a good
dream, little Alice."
***** Chibiya *****
The serpent's bite made the little prince fall into a deep slumber. In his
dreams where his body and his soul separated, he still searched for the 'man-
who-searched-for-his-soulmate.'
The little prince met many men and women, old and young, cruel and kind. He met
all kinds of people. But each one of them, the little prince said, "you're not
the one."
The prince was disappointed and disillusioned. The world was too corrupt and
too defiled for the innocent prince and it saddened him. Part of him wished to
return to Eden but he didn't want to go back without finding Eve.
Finally the young prince fled to a desert, still in search of his cursed
damsel-in-distress but away from the grey people. In the arid desert
accompanied by only sand, the prince came upon a wrecked airplane and a tired
young man who had crashed landed in the middle of no-where.
The young man gave up on his journey and now waited for his inevitable death
since he didn't expect anyone to rescue him.
Little did both of them realize that their journey had come to an end.
 
===============================================================================
 
"Wake up little princess."
The annoyed voice grated Hibiya's ears as he was roughly shaken.
"W-what? Huh?" Hibiya rubbed his eyes and groggily sat up.
"Come on. I don't have time for this idiocy."
Hibiya paused and quickly focused his eyes to see the owner of that voice.
He knew that voice.
He only heard it once in his life but he clearly knew that voice.
Hibiya's mouth gaped open as Delic stood in front of him with a slight
disapproving frown. Then with a sigh, the blond with a white and pink headset
and a matching suit grabbed all three sleepy students by the collars of their
shirts and dragged them.
"Get up sleepy heads. Time for kids to go home and sleep in your own beds."
Hibiya struggled, trying to get up on his feet but he still felt woozy from the
sleeping gas he had consumed. Then Delic tossed them into the back seat of his
car.
By now Linda and Tengoku were wide awake, the latter shaking visibly.
"W-where are you taking us?" Linda demanded, his hand on the back of Delic's
driver's seat and ready to attack him if necessary.
"Chill. I know him." Hibiya calmed his friend down.
"Didn't you hear me brats?" Delic buckled his belt and turned around with a
scornful look. "Taking you home. It's pass midnight and magic is over,
Cinderella should go home."
Tengoku sat next to Hibiya who sat in the middle and shivered against his
friend, still very afraid.
"H-how did you find us, Delic?" Hibiya asked cautiously, feeling the tension in
the air.
"Izaya called me. Said you've gotten into some trouble and told me to pick you
three up. You guys are lucky that the first one you went to was owned by
Awakusu-kai. If it was another cabaret, they could have just kidnapped you and
sold you into prostitution or slavery." Delic growled as he shifted gears
roughly and drove away fast, the force pushing Linda back into his seat.
Hearing that Izaya had called for this man to get them, Linda and Tengoku
relaxed. They both always felt that Hibiya was lucky to have someone like Izaya
who always pampered him spoiled. But that was how rich kids were.
Either way, they were glad they had some adventure and they weren't in any more
dangerous situation.
"Izaya gave me your addresses. I take it the blond kid lives around here
right?" Delic made a sharp turn around the corner, his car's tires screeching
against the asphalt.
"Y-yes sir." Linda nodded, slightly more respectful toward the man who saved
them.
"Well then. Get out." Delic said coldly. "Don't forget to make sure you got
everything. I'm not going door to door to return your missing glass slippers
after this, little princess."
Linda bristled visibly at being called a 'princess' but grabbed his bag and
opened the door.
"Uhh… see you later Hibi-chan. And tell that prick over there I said 'thanks'."
Linda thanked him indirectly with a sarcastic tone. Feeling very apprehensive,
Tengoku too got out of the car.
"I-I don't live far from here so I'll walk home. Thank you mister."
They both got out of the car and exchanged a worried smile with Hibiya,
whispering to him to get home safe.
Hibiya nodded and closed the door.
Hibiya sat back in the car with the largest pout while Delic drove. The low hum
of the car was the only music.
"Hey. Where are we going?"
Delic stayed quiet as he listened to the music of his own headgear.
"I said where are we going?" Hibiya said out louder.
"Home, of course. Where else? Kids like you should be in bed already."
Hibiya checked the clock in front. It was passed midnight. He had officially
turned fifteen.
He frowned. How dare this man treat him this way. It was his birthday! And no
one ever treated him as such! Everyone treated him like a king!
The young boy squeezed his way between the two front seats, crawling to the
front of the car.
"H-hey! What the-brat! Get back to your seat!" Delic shouted, partially
swerving on the road.
"I suggest you watch the road and drive properly." Hibiya huffed as he sat in
the front seat and buckled himself. "I'm an adult now, I don't sit in the
kiddie seats."
"Adult? You're still a kid. How old are you? Nine?" Delic scoffed, though he
knew exactly how old Hibiya was.
"I'm fifteen!" Hibiya shouted.
"Still a fucking kid, squirt." Delic shrugged.
"I thought you were a host! You're a terrible one!"
"Well, I don't host little kids."
"I have a name you know. It's Hibiya. Hi-bi-ya!"
"Huh, what was that, chibi? You said your name is Chibiya? Hey, that's not a
bad name actually." Delic smirked.
Hibiya gaped at the man.
"CHIBIYA?" his voice was tiny bit shrill as it broke an octave with his pre-
puberty voice.
Just then, the car made a small exploding noise and smoke started to come out
of the hood.
"The fu-, hey, grab on!"
Delic swerved as he braked harshly, slowing the car to a stop on the shoulder
of the highway.
Cursing, Delic got out of the car and opened the hood to examine the problem.
He coughed as the smoke poofed out when the hood popped open.
After few minutes of fiddling with the hot wires, Delic gave up and got back
inside the car, wiping his hands.
"So... what happened?" Hibiya asked timidly.
"What do you think?" Delic sighed. "Your pumpkin coach broke down."
Hibiya frowned. He didn't like being referred as if he was the princess who
needed to be rescued.
"I don't appreciate being called in such a manner. That and it's your stupid
car that broke down. How is that my fault?"
Delic scowled. "My car is a brand new Ford Mustang with over 400 horsepower,
thank you very much. And it's not stupid." Delic glared at Hibiya. He knew he
was being slightly childish to fight with the boy since he did know it wasn't
his fault. If anything, this was all planned out by Izaya. Everything from
Hibiya going to the host clubs to find Delic, ordering Delic to find Hibiya,
all the way to his car being sabotaged to break down in the middle of the
night.
"Well, now what?"
Delic shrugged as he leaned back in his seat.
"It's not like Izaya has a car to pick us up. He'd probably say I should just
take the train or taxi but I hate that. And it's too late to call for a towing
truck... I'm not letting anyone steal my baby while I leave her stranded over
night. So..."
He shrugged.
"Guess I'm sleeping here."
"What?" Hibiya rolled his eyes. "This is such a lame way to spend my birthday
night."
"It's not your birthday anymore, Chibi." Delic reminded him.
Hibiya pouted. He still hadn't heard a 'happy birthday' from the man. Something
in his chest hurt as he sat there staring at this man he had been wishing to
see for several years and the first thing they did was fight.
"W-well, I still didn't get to celebrate it properly."
"Suit yourself. Go knock yourself out, Chibi." Delic said as he pulled his seat
back and laid down, listening to the music from his headphones.
"H-hey." Hibiya spoke. But Delic had already closed his eyes.
"Don't ignore me!" Hibiya grabbed at the annoying headset and yanked it off.
Delic was caught off guard as Hibiya pulled off his headset. Before he could
snatch it back, Hibiya's eyes widened as the music flowed out.
"This... is Psyche and Tsugaru's song." Hibiya noted, surprised that he
recognized the singer and the melody.
Frowning, Delic took the headphones from Hibiya's hand and turned off the
music. He looked back at Hibiya with a tinge of anger but the young intuitive
boy noticed there was a mixture of sadness within those darkened magenta eyes.
Instead of getting angry back, Hibiya too felt sad. Those once bright pink eyes
that seemed to glow had now turned duller with age.
'Am I too late?' Hibiya wondered briefly. 'Am I too late to save him?'
Delic sighed as he tossed the headset to the back seat, annoyed. He decided not
to get angry at the boy. It was pointless and immature. He was the one who
should be the adult around here anyway, he thought.
"So... if you listen to their music, does that mean you miss them?" Hibiya
asked. Looking up at him, Hibiya questioned again, "Why don't you come back
home? I heard you stay out all the time."
"Why don't you call them nii-san?" Delic asked instead.
"I asked first." Hibiya pouted. Though part of his mind wondered about that
question. He used to call Psyche and Tsugaru as mama and papa when he did not
know better, but as he grew older, he called them by their names. It never
occurred to him that they were brothers. Psyche was Psyche, Tsugaru was Tsugaru
and Izaya was Izaya.
"Well I don't feel like answering." Delic avoided the question smoothly.
"... you're so immature." Hibiya decided.
"Says the brat." Delic's eyes darkened more.
"You call me brat, brat, but aren't you the real brat around here? Sporting
around fancy cars, staying out late, not listening to Izaya, and picking a
fight with me." Hibiya puffed up.
"And who's the one who stole someone else's clothes and snuck out at night,
sticking his nose in someone else's business in dirty places he shouldn't be
messing with?" Delic retorted.
Hibiya cringed, looking down at his outfit which was still slightly large on
him.
"Well, I still don't get how you're the number one host when all you do is
insult others. I bet you can't even kiss properly. You even pushed me away when
I-" Hibiya fired away in defense only to be cut off when Delic slammed the
young boy's shoulder against the window.
Hibiya winced at the pain and looked up at the man who glared down at him
dangerously.
"Do you want to know why..." his voice was dark, hissing whisper as his magenta
eyes bore down at the cowering boy.
"... I pushed you away when you kissed me, boy?"
***** I love you *****
Hibiya cringed as his back connected with the arm rest, digging into his spine.
He shrank further as Delic looked down at him. Then he thought to himself, 'why
should I cower? I didn't do anything wrong! How dare he treat me this way!' and
he defiantly looked up, refusing to lose.
Delic stared at those hesitant and scared eyes suddenly look up at him with
determination and defiance. Then he burst out laughing at the irony only he
seemed to understand as he drew himself a bit further away. Hibiya looked back
at him confused and wondering if Delic just lost it.
"You don't seem to fear me much. Chibi." He laughed, his magenta eyes more
blithe and his face looking younger.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Hibiya tilted his head.
Delic snorted. He placed his hand on Hibiya's shoulder and pulled back to his
seat. Hibiya was grateful that the arm rest wasn't digging into his back
anymore but looked at Delic curiously as the man straddled him, looming above
him.
"What's there not to be afraid of? You're in a car with a stranger. I could
seriously hurt you, you know."
"Why would you?" Hibiya didn't understand. Delic wasn't a stranger to him...
right? It felt like he had known him forever even though this was only their
second meeting. Besides, he reasoned, Delic also lived with Izaya, so he was a
roommate. Sort of.
"Why would you?"
"You've just stolen my outfit, punched holes in my best suits with cheap safety
pins and my car broke down. Don't you think I'd be more than just a bit upset?"
"Well if you want your damn clothes back, fine! It's a stupid thing to be upset
about." Hibiya pouted as he looked away.
"Alright. Fine. I want it back. Then I wouldn't be upset anymore." Delic
conceded.
Hibiya waited. Delic waited longer. Hibiya frowned at Delic waiting for his
next move.
"… you mean… you want it back now?"
"Yes. Now." Delic looked down at him, amused as he smirked lightly.
"... pervert." Hibiya glared up. Delic shrugged.
"Who's the one who stole my clothes in the first place? Maybe you sniffed them
and masturbated behind my back."
"W-what? H-how dare you accuse me of such filthy actions! I wouldn't ever…!
Uggh..!" Hibiya started to yank off the suit jacket off his shoulders.
"Hey, hey! That's my Dolce & Gabbana jacket you're handling! And my…!"
"Raoul shirt. I know, you jerk." Hibiya scoffed as he fingered the shirt,
unbuttoning them. Living with Izaya had influenced Hibiya with a lot of
luxuries most boys his age wouldn't be able to witness. "I don't care how
expensive your damn clothes are! They're just clothes and easily replaceable
with money. Izaya has a lot so who gives a damn!"
As Hibiya yanked on the tie and shirt, Delic stopped him by placing his hand on
top of those angry ones. Hibiya scowled and stared at the hand that gripped his
own, following the line of the arm to face the owner.
Delic's eyes almost looked gentle and soft, confusing Hibiya even more.
"Here. Allow me. Since a brat like you don't seem to understand how to handle
women."
"W-women? What are you…?"
"Clothes should be treated with care. They tear and rip easily. You treat them
well and they'll last you for a long time." Delic said, his voice all of a
sudden tender. Hibiya watched in bafflement as Delic reached under and started
to take off the safety pins one by one.
"You treat clothes like women?" Hibiya pouted, not liking that Delic would
treat his clothes gently but not him. "Even your car?"
"Of course. My car's my baby." Delic smirked as he reached under the folds of
Hibiya's arm to take out another safety pin. Hibiya made a disgruntled sound.
"Don't you have things you take good care of?" Delic asked, his voice soothing.
It confused Hibiya even more with the sudden change in Delic's attitude. Though
seeing Delic change only to treat inanimate objects with care only made Hibiya
even more unhappy.
"Yeah… like people. My friends."
Delic snorted. "Humans betray you. Inanimate objects don't fail you if you take
care of them." He pulled out another safety pin.
"Well, your car just did." Hibiya retorted.
Delic sighed as he pulled out another pin from the shirt. The way his fingers
brushed against the shirt made Hibiya nervous as his body seem to jump every
time he felt a touch. "Fine. I give. But don't you have anything else you take
good care of?"
"… my horse collection?" Hibiya said after he gave it some thought.
Delic snorted. "That sounded pretty dirty."
"The only thing that's dirty is your mind." Hibiya pouted. His horse fetish was
totally innocent.
"Don't move, I don't want to prick you." Delic warned as he wrapped his arms
around Hibiya's waist to reach the back. Hibiya stiffened when he felt Delic's
bang tickle his ear and his breath so close to his nape. He tried to sit up
straighter as his hands were behind him, lifting himself up partially.
"Y-you better not prick me." Hibiya breathed, his stuttering embarrassing to
his own ears.
"I'm not worried about you. I just don't want blood on my white suits." Delic
snickered.
Hibiya bristled. "Why you jer- ouch!" Hibiya jolted when he felt a light
scratch of his finger when Delic drew away. He quickly sucked on his index
finger that was pricked.
"I told you not to move! Ugh here, let me see." Delic clipped the safety pin
safely and tossed it away as he grabbed Hibiya's wrist, pulling the wet finger
away from his mouth.
"What the hell, I didn't bloody your damn shirt Delic!" Hibiya retorted angrily
as he tried to pull his hand back. He stopped and stared in shock as Delic took
the finger and licked the wound. Hibiya lost his breath at the sight of Delic
lightly licking at the finger, feeling the soft tongue press against the skin
before he finally opened his mouth and sucked on the tip.
Hibiya felt his cheeks burn and his body flush warm at the feeling.
Delic sucked on it gently for awhile before he pulled away to check on the
wound. Then he looked back at Hibiya and smirked.
The young boy's heart pounded so loudly, he could barely hear himself
breathing.
"Good, I'm glad." Delic smiled as his other free hand stroked Hibiya's warm
cheek. "I was afraid you'd fall asleep."
"F-fall asleep?" Hibiya stammered, not liking how his voice fumbled for words.
"Like a sleeping beauty." Delic's smiling lips twitched upward, changing into a
mocking smirk.
"I-I'm not a princess!" Hibiya fumed, his cheeks burning as he angrily yelled
back to hide his embarrassment.
"Are you sure? You looked like you needed some rescuing back there..."
"I'm not the one under a curse! You are!"
"A curse eh?" Delic looked bemused. "I take it that's why you kissed me back
then."
Hibiya pouted and looked away, not quite sure what he should do in this
situation. It was awkward and embarrassing... and it only showed how much
inexperienced he was in life compared to this man who kept teasing him.
"Well, I'm glad you didn't fall asleep for a hundred years. I don't think... I
can wait a hundred years for you, Chibi."
Something about Delic's voice made Hibiya look back at the man. Delic brought
back Hibiya's hand with the wounded finger to his face. He closed his eyes as
leaned his cheek softly against the back of Hibiya's hand. He pulled it lower,
his lips softly kissing the fingers one by one.
Hibiya watched, forgetting to breathe as he felt his fingers connect with
Delic.
"D-Delic...? Umm..." Hibiya gulped, confused by Delic's sudden gentleness.
"What... do you mean?" Hibiya didn't understand what Delic was talking about.
Curse? Hundred years of sleep? Wasn't it Delic who was under the curse? Not
himself?
Delic's eyes opened and Hibiya stared into those magenta orbs filled with...
swirling passion. The intense glare brought chills down his spine.
"I've waited... a long time."
Delic lowered the hand. Hibiya watched, mesmerized by this man as the older man
leaned forward, his hand placed on the sides of Hibiya. His long finger pressed
the button which prompted the chair to lean further back, giving them more
room. Hibiya gasped and looked around nervously as the back of his chair
lowered flat and moved back to give them more leg room. Delic loomed over him
as their eyes connected once more.
"A very long, long time."
Hibiya had to take a deep breath and let it out in a stutter. He was forgetting
to breathe and he felt dizzy from the lack of oxygen. Delic was so...
seductive. And sexy. Overwhelming.
It almost made Hibiya scared of him, though he knew there wasn't anything to be
scared of. What harm could this man do?
"What... were you waiting for? Why did you wait?" Hibiya asked, trying his best
to at least put up a brave front. Delic smiled at his effort.
"And I've looked everywhere, but... it looks like nothing can match up."
"Match up to... what?" Hibiya frowned, still not understanding this man. He
wished he didn't talk in riddles all the time.
"This."
And Delic leaned forward to place a kiss on Hibiya's lips.
Hibiya gasped and froze stiff as he felt the soft touch of Delic's lips again.
He was flooded from memories when he was a kid, watching the blond sleep, his
body gently moving in rhythm with his breathing. How beautiful he looked when
Hibiya saw him for the first time.
Slight tears welled up in memory as he remembered how hurt he felt when Delic
has pushed him away.
Noticing that the boy had stiffened up at the kiss, Delic pulled up. Seeing the
tears, Delic's heart sank, thinking that he had hurt him.
'Ah... am I still too early?' Delic's eyes clouded again, his once glimmering
eyes dulled. Thinking that Hibiya still wasn't ready, and that perhaps it was a
wrong move, Delic pulled away as he hung his head.
Hibiya noticed those mesmerizing eyes dim. He quickly reached out and his
fingers latched onto the man's sleeves when he saw that Delic was moving away.
"W-wait!"
Delic paused, looking back at Hibiya. But already his eyes were colors of a
faded reddish violet.
Hibiya's hand shook, scared. Something told him this was crucial. It was as if
he was losing Delic... as if the man was dying before him.
"I... I want to know... something."
Delic waited.
Hibiya took another breath and let it out slowly. He wasn't sure if this was
the right thing to do. But he couldn't let go of Delic like this.
"I... want to know why you pushed me away... back then. If... you... just
said... you've been waiting to... kiss me." Hibiya's hand clenched tighter on
Delic's sleeves. He was scared to know the answer, but whatever Delic's answer
was... he didn't want to let him go.
"Hibiya..." Delic finally said his name, making Hibiya's heart jolt. But Hibiya
dreaded the tone. Something told him that Delic was going to leave him.
"D-don't patronize me b-because I'm just a 'kid.' I... I want to know the
truth." Hibiya gritted his teeth and looked up at Delic, his eyes meeting the
host's fiercely. Deep inside, he was scared. But he also couldn't let go of
this man.
"Y-you always run away! If... you don't tell me now, I .. I don't know when
I'll see you again next." Hibiya's voice trailed off at the end.
Delic hesitated briefly before he spoke.
"I.. was angry at myself."
"For?" Hibiya's eyes frowned again in confusion. So Delic wasn't angry at him
back then?
"For getting caught. I had made sure that you'd never see me for so long...
getting caught so easily and taking away your … first kiss... I was angry at
myself."
Delic looked away and his expressions were unreadable to Hibiya.
"Th... that makes no sense."
The blond host looked back down at the boy.
"You're young Hibiya. There's... plenty of other people in this world you could
choose from. I didn't want anyone to... decide that you and I were meant to be
from the start. I wanted you to choose... after you've met everyone and..."
"So you ran away? That's stupid!" Hibiya blurted out. "How am I suppose to
even choose if you don't make yourself available as well. It's not fair! It's
like you eliminated yourself from the list! That's really dumb! Did you think
I'd be happy that way?"
Delic's eyes lowered as his lips thinned to a half-smile. "Now I'm getting
lectured by a kid."
"Well I may be a kid but you're a coward! A real fool!"
"Yeah, Izaya said the same. That I'm a coward and a fool."
"So, how long are you going to run away from me? Because you know, I'll keep
chasing you." Hibiya glared up at Delic who looked back at him with regretful
eyes.
Hibiya waited quietly, trying to search for Delic's eyes in the dark interior
of the car. There were lights shooting by as the cars passed. Silence settled
as Delic spoke.
"I was angry you kissed me because I wanted you to choose me out of your free
will, not some stupid thing called destiny or..."
"BS. You didn't even give me the chance to choose you."
Delic hesitated, diverting his eyes before he spoke again, "And I was angry at
myself... for wanting you."
"Another BS! I bet yo... w-wait. W-what?"
Hibiya opened his mouth to retort except he stumbled at hearing those words,
slightly in disbelief at what he had just heard.
"I said... I was angry that I wanted you. Silly isn't it..." Delic smirked but
it was a burdened smile. "You were just nine. I couldn't believe myself when...
I opened my eyes and saw you smile. It was... beautiful. I didn't … want to
wait any longer. You broke my resolve... and I was angry at myself for...
falling for you so easily after... I had told myself I should wait and..."
Delic's eyes turned back to Hibiya's. "... it was painful to wait."
"How long are you planning to wait?" Hibiya's eyes furrowed in anger.
"..."
"How many years is long enough? Until I get a few girlfriends? When I'm twenty?
Thirty? You know I'll always be younger than you. The age gap isn't going to
change."
"I..."
"You say that you're waiting for me. But you forgot something."
"..."
Hibiya's eyes watered again as he spoke, his voice cracking slightly as tried
to swallow the lump in his throat.
"H... how long should I wait for you? Until you think you're ready for me?"
"H-Hibiya..."
"It's not fair." Hibiya could feel the tears burning his cheeks as they started
to roll down. "It's not fair that I was born so young. I can't do anything
about time. I'll always be younger than you. Why can't you just accept me now?
How long is long enough? What's an adult and what's a child? Is there a number
that magically says.. now I'm an adult and I'm ready?"
Hibiya looked up at Delic, his fierce eyes glaring at him. "Who are you to
judge that I'm too young? Exactly how long do you want me to wait? You think
it's painful for you? How painful do you think it was for me to..."
Delic hugged the boy tightly.
"I'm sorry."
Hibiya started to sob into the white suit. Delic could feel his shoulder
soaking in tears.
"I'm sorry. Please don't cry."
Delic pulled away from his embrace to kiss Hibiya's lips. It was a chaste kiss.
Then he kissed again. And again.
"Don't cry. I'm sorry."
Another kiss as Hibiya still cried harder.
"I love you Hibiya. Please don't cry."
Delic continued to pepper Hibiya with kisses and spoke to him with a soothing
voice as Hibiya's crying slowed to a light hiccup.
After Hibiya calmed down, he felt extremely embarrassed as the other man was
patting him like a baby. Then he remembered something.
"D-did you... just say you loved me?" Hibiya asked almost shyly.
Delic smiled. Hibiya's curious eyes looked to the side to meet with those
radiant pink eyes.
"Yes. I love you Hibiya."
***** Which Number *****
Hibiya's heart fluttered and his eyes widened. It made Delic smile even more.
"S... so... no more waiting?"
"I don't know... I think I've given you a plenty of kisses..." Delic turned
away looking nonchalant as possible.
"W-what? No fair! After all that, how many years do I have to wait now?" Hibiya
exploded in anger.
"I just want to make sure that..."
"BS! You're running away again!" Hibiya shouted as he grabbed the collar of
Delic's shirt and clashed their lips together in a long 'chuu.'
Delic blinked as Hibiya continued to just press his lips against his. Then
Hibiya let him go, his cheeks furiously red.
"T-there!"
"Was that... a kiss?" Delic asked, very amused.
"Y-yeah. It's a kiss isn't it?"
Delic chuckled, his shoulder and chest shaking as laughter rippled through him.
Hibiya looked a bit hurt. That was his best kiss so far!
"You can't wake up a princess with that kind of a kiss, Chibi." Delic's smug
look and being called yet again 'Chibi' did not settle well with the young
prince.
"Let me show you... how adults kiss." Delic's finger touched Hibiya's lower
lip.
"Does that mean... you're ready to accept me as... an adult?" Hibiya's eyes
widened in realization.
Delic stopped right before his lips touched Hibiya's, his eyes twinkling
playfully.
"Are you?"
"I AM!" Hibiya shouted defiantly.
"Alright... I won't hold back anymore." Delic said as he licked his own lips to
moisten them.
"I love you."
Those words were the last words Hibiya heard as Delic gently parted Hibiya's
mouth with his tongue and entered. Hibiya gasped slightly as he felt the
foreign muscle enter his mouth and lick his tongue gently. Hibiya moaned and
tried to lick back, not sure what he was suppose to do.
Delic guided him gently, his tongue dancing in his mouth, encircling him,
sometimes pulling away to suck and then entering again to dominate. Hibiya felt
the blood rushing down and felt his stomach flop funny each time he felt
himself being sucked on and licked. It was a strange feeling yet Hibiya wanted
more.
When Delic pulled out, Hibiya was breathless and his heart was racing. He
looked up at the blond with heavy lidded eyes, slightly unfocused with a
suffocating feeling he couldn't describe.
Hibiya's chest felt warm, his cheeks even warmer as he looked up at Delic.
"Was that…?" His words hung in the air.
"That's just the beginning." Delic smirked as he leaned forward again and
kissed the side of Hibiya's cheek.
At first, Hibiya didn't understand why Delic said that kiss was just a
beginning of an 'adult kiss' and went back to kissing his cheek... until he
felt Delic lick him. Then he gasped as that tongue traveled upward to lick his
ear.
"D-Delic…! Nngh…!" Hibiya gasped and moaned as Delic nibbled his earlobe. It
didn't make sense to the younger boy how this was more 'adult,' but it felt
strangely arousing… and with a hint of musky danger mixed with lust laden
desire. Alarms went off in his mind in every direction but his body encouraged
it, bucking for more.
"Ah… so you're sensitive there…" Delic smirked as he nibbled on it some more.
Hibiya gasped again, his body arching. He didn't understand why a small bite on
his ear somehow sent small jolts of electricity throughout his body.
When Delic slipped his hand under the shirt and stroke his spine with his
fingertips, Hibiya arched his back, his chest meeting up with the blond's.
Delic was finding all sorts of sensitive places Hibiya had no idea he himself
had.
Both of Delic's hands slid down Hibiya's waist and held him firmly as his
tongue slyly licked a spot on the younger boy's neck, marking it before he
sucked on it hard.
"Hnnngh…." Hibiya gasped before he clammed his mouth shut, half in disbelief at
the sounds he was making. His body was on fire, burning with swirling emotions
he couldn't quite figure out… except he knew that he wanted more. Though he
didn't even understand what more he wanted.
"D-Delic… aaah…" the darker haired boy mewled when he felt those sinful thumbs
twirl on top of his skin. The fingers dipped, his skin dimpling under his
touch. Hibiya's senses were overloaded and things were moving too fast, his
mind dizzy and his limbs trembling as the devious tongue trailed lower and
lower.
Still holding him down, Delic pushed Hibiya slightly upward from the chair.
Then his mouth came down on one of the perky nipple and sucked hard.
"Nnngh…. Aaaah!" Hibiya was slightly biting his lower lip until Delic's mouth
came on top of his pink nub, jolting at the sensation as he bucked. Embarrassed
and ashamed, Hibiya covered his face and his mouth with his hands as the blond
continued his ministration. The tongue was the devil, teasingly licking his
prey and the teeth were his trident, poking, nibbling, grazing in ways that
made Hibiya wished he could just let go and scream. But he refused.
Delic stopped, causing Hibiya to finally let out a deep sigh to catch up on his
breath. The blond host grabbed the high schooler's wrists and pinned them above
him with one swift and strong motion.
"A-ah?"
"Don't hide your face." Delic scowled. "I can't see your expressions."
"W-why would you want to see it!" Hibiya's face burned at those words. His
eartips burned too as Delic's eyes mimicked his smirk as he spoke in a low
seductive voice, "Because it turns me on."
Hibiya's mouth opened in shock, unable to form any distinguishable words. Delic
kissed below his jaw once before he went back to sucking on the other neglected
nipple. "Haaaah!" Hibiya gasped as the hot orifice came down on him again with
rejuvenated passion. The other free fingers started pinching on the neglected
nipple. His hips bucked as his legs jolted upwards, hitting against the
dashboard due to the tight and cornered space. Hibiya bit his lips as he looked
down at Delic. Meeting those pink eyes intensely stare at him brought his
cheeks burn at an even higher temperature so he closed his eyes tightly shut in
shame.
"What's wrong… don't you like it?" his soothing voice inflamed Hibiya's ears as
that hot mouth finally left his nipple alone. The slight wind caused by Delic
moving away chilled his wet nubs, causing them to grow more taunt.
"I…." Hibiya did think he liked it but… "It's embarrassing! Don't ask that kind
of dumb questions."
"Oh, so they're dumb questions now huh…" Delic's hand on the wrists didn't
budge while he whispered into the boy's ear. The other hand had slid down the
smooth abdomen then crawled on top of the small bulge forming on Hibiya's
pants.
Hibiya moaned reflexively.
"That sounds delicious." Delic smiled as he licked at Hibiya's burning cheek.
It cooled him down only slightly.
"Do you want it?" The husky took away the teenager's breath.
"W-want w-what?" Hibiya cringed at his breathless stutter.
"This…." A tight squeeze between his legs forced a gasp from Hibiya as he tried
to close his legs, only to find that his legs wrapped around the blond's waist
since he was in between them.
"D-don't ask me that kind of …. dirty things." Hibiya shivered, his body
shamefully craving more and the embarrassment almost made the boy cry.
"But… I want to hear you beg for it." Delic smiled as his two fingers rubbed on
the top.
"AAaaaah!" Hibiya cried out as his body screamed for release. "N-no! D-don't do
that!"
"Are you sure? I think you do want it…"
"Nnnngh…!" Tears formed in the corners of his eyes as Hibiya did want it but…
couldn't say it.
"Shall I stop?" Delic asked, his finger making a teasing circle on top of the
throbbing bulge.
"Y-you're not gonna stop even if I said so, you pervert." Hibiya whined as he
trembled, completely at the mercy of those two fingers dancing on top of his
small pulsating manhood.
"Probably not. You told me not to hold back after all…" Delic smiled at the
thought as his fingers stopped teasing him. Instead he started to unbutton the
pants and lowered the zipper in a slow motion, the sound of the metals clicking
loud in the quiet car.
Hibiya held his breath as he watched. Delic's hands gripped on the pants and
pulled them down along with the boxers, revealing Hibiya's growing manhood.
"How cute Chibi. Is this Chibiya Jr?"
"… I hate you so much right now…" Hibiya whimpered as he squirmed. It was
beyond embarrassing. It was mortifying as Delic stared at his private area so
shamelessly with fascination. Hibiya felt the large shirt and jacket that he
borrowed from Delic, slip down one shoulder as he tried to inch away.
"You say that now… but you'll be screaming my name for more in seconds." Delic
smirked as he rolled out his tongue and licked at the base of Hibiya's cock.
Then he dragged his tongue up to the shaft and twirled on top of the head.
"Nnnghmmmnggh!" Hibiya's hands turned into a fist inside the sleeves that were
too long and had slipped further to cover his hands. His body arched again as
he shivered, barely holding back his release.
"Heh… how cute. It's throbbing."
Hibiya dared to peek down to see his cock move up and down slightly in
response.
He wanted to die.
"S-stop licking at it then you pervert!"
"Nah… it's adorable. You respond so naturally." He smirked as he stopped
talking to lick at the member again, his arm wrapped around the back of that
small waist while the other hand held him down by the pelvic area so he
couldn't jerk up too much.
"Aaah… aaah! Nyaahaaah…D-Delic aaah!" Hibiya practically screamed as his hands
came on top of the blond mess, trying to push him away as the tongue licked up
and down his shaft. After several licks, Delic pulled up slightly only to open
his mouth and swallow the young boy's entire cock. He licked with his tongue as
he went down and sucked hard as he pulled up.
Hibiya gasped loudly and his mouth opened to scream silently, only random
gurgling noise escaping as his body convulsed violently. His vision went white
as rushes of orgasm stripped away everything else, the intense pleasure ripping
through his small frame as he released his hot cum inside Delic's sucking
mouth.
After the blinding climax, Hibiya crumpled back to the chair, panting as he
tried to recollect his stolen visions and hazy mind.
"Salty… you don't masturbate often huh. That's kind of strange for your age…"
Delic said as he wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb to catch the
remaining cum that almost escaped him. Hibiya didn't say anything as he tried
to catch his breath first.
"Finished already?" Delic let out a soft sigh, more amused by Hibiya's
inexperience rather than being disappointed.
"N-no!" Hibiya quickly tried to sit up and winced as his head hit the ceiling.
"Ow…."
Delic smiled. It was cute to see the boy try so hard.
Hibiya rubbed his head as he opened his eyes. "Y-you… didn't… get to… … you
know. So…" Hibiya looked away, not quite sure how to finish his sentence.
"So… you want me to get off too?"
"H-however you say it." Hibiya refused eye contact.
"Alright." Delic leaned back and opened his glove compartment to pull out a
pink bottle of lube. He also pulled out a condom.
Hibiya watched, blinking as Delic poured the lube into his hand and warmed it
between his fingers.
He gulped as a sudden realization hit him.
That lube… wasn't new. It was already opened and only half full.
"You… you have those… things… in your glove compartment?"
Delic stopped and slowly looked back at Hibiya. Something about his voice made
him cautious.
Hibiya stared at him, horrified. His body stiffened as if thousands of needles
stabbed him in all directions and his heart tensely throbbed in pain.
"How… many partners… have you had? Which… number… am I?" Hibiya's words
stumbled out as his visions blurred with tears that threatened to fall.
Immediately Delic's face fell with chagrin. He chuckled bitterly as he replied,
refusing eye contact.
"Ah… I can't even answer that question. I stopped counting how many partners
I've had… I've had too many."
His honest answer cut through the young boy's heart like a knife.
Delic took a staggering breath before letting it out heavily. He stared at his
sticky fingers almost awkwardly. He reached to his side for some spare tissues
to wipe away the warmed up pink lube from his fingers.
Hibiya watched in silence as tears dripped down his cheeks freely.
It hurt.
It hurt a lot.
He watched the blond, waiting to see if he would give an excuse, but he didn't.
Delic wanted to tell him that Hibiya was his number one now, that no one else
compared to him.
But Delic couldn't.
He knew he was dirty and corrupt. He knew he didn't deserve this young boy
anymore, still so innocent and full of life and youth. Hibiya could enjoy life
so much more and still had so much to experience.
Hibiya was so pure. Still an innocent prince who believed in fairytales.
While Delic was filthy. A man who had sullied his mind and body to experience
the debauchery of life.
He looked back at the boy and instantly regretted it. Seeing Hibiya in tears
tore his heart.
"I'm sorry." Delic finally mumbled an apology as he looked away again.
Hibiya bit his lips and forced himself not to cry harder. But he could not help
it when the tears welled up even more and fell down in droplets of bombs. He
wiped his eyes with his sleeves that was just a bit too long.
"Sorry.. f-for what…?" Hibiya started to hiccup a bit.
"I … almost sullied you."
"… w-what are you t-talking about?" Hibiya spoke in between his controlled sob.
"I…"
It was painful to speak but Delic knew he had to. Because it was worse to see
this boy cry.
"Please don't cry. If… if it's of any… consolation, I…" Delic's tongue kept
catching him before he could speak his heart. He couldn't say, 'I love you the
most.' He had no right to say such a thing so boldly.
Love was such a strange emotion. Delic had once thought he loved Psyche. That
his love for him was so strong that no matter who the baby had grown up to, it
would not matter.
He had tried to replace that emptiness of his hopeless infatuation with the
love that the 'world' offered. Women, booze, money, and power… the more Delic
delved into it, the emptier he felt. The hole in his heart never filled and the
more he saw how happy Psyche and Tsugaru were together, the more jealous he
grew.
Love was such an unpredictable emotion. Feeling empty and tired, he had fallen
asleep that day on the couch. It was a warm sunny day and he had felt drowsy.
Love came at the most unexpected times and places. Just one brilliant smile of
a young boy, who accepted him at first glance. That trust he saw in his smile.
It strangely melted away all the burden and the stress Delic carried for years.
The jealousy, the emptiness, the loneliness and the bitterness… dissolved
instantly like shadows fleeing from the light.
And that was who Hibiya was for Delic.
But Delic was still chained to the darkness, his heart, mind and body still
black and tainted from dark side of the world he lived in. Like a soldier
drenched in blood from the killings of a war and hatred, he felt that it was
impossible for him now to live in the daylight with the normal citizens.
He felt too dirty and Hibiya, still innocent and pure.
He didn't have the galls to…
"Sorry. I shouldn't have…" was all he managed to say as he pulled away.
Hibiya looked up, his eyes widening at the rejection.
He was being rejected.
Again.
***** Your Highness *****
Angry, Hibiya grabbed at the loosely dangling necktie and yanked him back. The
sudden motion brought Delic to his knees as he fell with a soft 'oof!'
"Wh-what the hell Chibi?" Delic scowled as he tried to regain his balance and
pull back up.
"I will not forgive you if you leave me like this!" Hibiya's eyes practically
glowed with anger. His cheeks were still streaked with tears but more than sad,
Hibiya was angry.
Delic blinked as he looked up.
"I want you to take responsibility!"
"… huh?" Delic looked at him baffled which only made Hibiya even more angry.
"Responsibility! Y-you made me cry and,… and undressed me! And.. and… did this
and that and.." Hibiya's tear streaked cheeks now flushed with a light pink
glow as he fumbled for words. Delic decided not to mention that he had
undressed Hibiya first then did this-and-that, then made him cry… which was out
of order from the accusation.
"And… and you're planning to dump me like garbage after you're done? I won't
allow it!"
"I… well…" Delic tried to pull away but was immediately pulled back down by his
necktie which Hibiya held in his hand tightly like a leash. The blond awkwardly
chuckled.
"I didn't want to… dirty you. I mean… I'm dirty and you're still.. well.."
"Are you just implying that I'm a virgin and therefore inexperience makes me
not good enough for you? If that's the case, I'll just go ask someone to fuck
me so I am good enough for a fuck!" Hibiya shouted out, his mind not quite
making sense of what he was saying since it was all out of anger.
Delic's eyes widened to a comical size at hearing those vulgar word come out of
Hibiya's mouth.
"N-no, no! Don't cheapen yourself like that! It's not you who's the problem,
it's me! And…"
"I don't care! I don't get why you keep pushing me away and say I'm too young
or that B.S.! If you want me to be an adult, fine! If you want me to go get
laid so I'm not a virgin anymore, I'll just get out right now and see if anyone
will take me right here and…" Hibiya struggled to get out of the car.
"Hey, Chibi! I mean, Hibiya! Stop! Whoa, calm down! I didn't say that!" Delic
also struggled to stop the boy from leaving his car while his neck was still
strained from the necktie which became his new collar as Hibiya yanked on it
painfully, almost choking him.
"No, I won't stop until someone fucks me!"
"No one is fucking you!"
"Ya well I'm sure someone will find me good enough for a quick fuck!"
"Will you stop saying that word? It doesn't suit your mouth."
"Oh, and what does suit my mouth? Candies?"
"I…" Delic snapped his mouth shut. He almost wanted to say that he wanted that
mouth to belong just to him but once again he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"See! You still treat me like a kid!"
"That's not it!" Delic shouted back, getting heated.
"Then what's the problem? Why don't you tell me? Talk to me! Why wouldn't you
just tell me? How am I suppose to know, I can't read your mind! You are still
treating me like a kid because you don't think I can handle it! How do you know
what I can and can't!" Hibiya screamed out loud as his eyes were renewed with
tears.
Delic let out a deep sigh.
"Look. First. Stop crying."
"I'm not crying!" Hibiya cried out, his hand still tightly holding onto Delic's
necktie so he couldn't leave, while his cheeks were wet with fresh tears.
Delic struggled. He wasn't sure if he should hug the crying boy or if that act
would be too 'patronizing' and bounce back at him the wrong way.
"Okay. I'm sorry. I'll tell you… so please stop crying okay?" Delic decided to
hug the boy and cradle him close. Hibiya wrapped his legs around the blond's
waist and buried his wet face.
"Where should I start…" Delic patted Hibiya's hair a bit. This was a peculiar
situation they were in, with Hibiya still without his pants but he decided not
to comment on it.
"I've… had a lot of partners yeah. I'm sorry, I was… looking for someone who I
could love… and would love me." Delic's voice was soothing. Hibiya wanted to
cut in that it wasn't his fault that he was born late but he stopped himself so
Delic could continue. He didn't want to break the mood now that the blond was
willing to talk.
"And… in the process… I admit… I have… done a lot of 'this and that'…" Delic
admitted. Both of their hearts tensed painfully. Delic noticed Hibiya's grip on
his shoulder slightly tightened too.
"But it made me feel… emptier each time. Sometimes a chore to keep up the
façade that I'm having fun. When you kiss someone you don'tlove…" when Delic
emphasized that word, Hibiya's heart clenched on it too. "… it's like kissing a
wall. Or a table. It's meaningless."
"I still don't get why I'm not good enough." Hibiya pouted.
Delic smiled. "Like I said, it's not you. It's me. I don't think I'm good
enough."
"Why?"
"Well… I'm… tainted?"
Hibiya's pout grew. "Who said? Did someone tell you? Did Izaya tell you that?"
"No one…. I guess. Just myself."
"Well that's dumb."
Delic chuckled lightly. "Maybe."
"No maybe. It is dumb." Hibiya pulled away to face the blond host. "I say it's
dumb so it's dumb. You're not tainted. Even if you killed someone, I don't
think you're … well maybe… but that's besides the point!" Hibiya's determined
look made Delic chuckle a bit.
"Don't laugh at me!"
"Hahaha… I'm not laughing at you… I'm laughing with you?"
"Do you see me laughing? I'm not laughing. This is serious!"
"Right." Delic closed his mouth and forced himself not to laugh, though his
cheeks puffed up in weird directions from holding it in.
Hibiya was not amused.
"Well, the point is, I don't think you're tainted. So you can do… this-and-that
with me." Hibiya's cheeks flushed as he said that.
"Heh, I guess the other word is a bit too vulgar for you, Your Highness?" Delic
smiled.
"You know what I mean without me saying it! Either way, I want you to take
responsibility for your actions! Leaving me here like this, I will not allow
it!" Hibiya yanked on the necktie to emphasize his point.
"Y-yes Your Highness. So would you please be gentle with the reins here? I'm
not your toy horse…"
"Will you promise to not let me go?"
Delic wondered if this was a marriage vow. But he smiled and pressed his
forehead on the young boy who looked at him with a determined face.
"Yes, Your Highness. As you wish."
"And you're not tainted and you won't run from me anymore… right?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I promise not to think that way and I won't run from you."
"Good. Then…" Hibiya hesitated but looked back at Delic boldly. "You love me
right?"
Delic's smile and his glowing rose colored eyes took away Hibiya's breath.
"Yes, Your Highness. I love you very much."
"Only me… right?"
"Of course, Your Highness. Only you."
"I don't want you doing that sort of thing with other people anymore…"
"Yes, Your Highness. I won't do 'this-and-that' and even 'that sort of thing'
with other people."
Hibiya frowned. "Exactly what sort of things have you done?"
"Want to find out?" Delic smiled playfully.
Hibiya pouted. "Only if you do it like you mean it… and if you give it your
best… and I want it more than whatever all those other people got… and I want
you to only give it to me and…"
Delic chuckled. "Your Highness is quite greedy."
"Well I deserve the best! And you're the best for me, aren't you?"
Delic couldn't help but fall for this boy who spoke so clearly of his thoughts.
Such an innocent and yet bold declaration.
"I don't know if I'm good enough for you sti.."
"Nu-uh! I just said you are, so you are! You already promised that earlier!"
"Right." Delic smiled. "I am."
"Good. Now prove it."
A flow of rich chuckles trickled out of Delic which made Hibiya shiver. Their
foreheads still touching, Delic's hands cupped the younger boy's cheeks as his
eyes peered into the other's curious caramel pupils.
"Prove it, huh? So then, may I kiss my bride now?" His eyes twinkled with
amusement.
Hibiya scowled a bit. How come he was the bride?
"I'm not a girl." Hibiya retorted.
Delic smiled amiably. "Ah, I see. So then since you're the prince, does that
make me the bride?"
Hibiya frowned at that too. "That doesn't make any sense."
"I guess not." Delic leaned in closer, his lips less than a centimeter away. A
breath hitched as Hibiya's heart pounded rapidly at the proximity of their
breaths.
"Happy birthday."
Hibiya's heart skipped a beat when Delic uttered the simple words he had wanted
to hear the entire night and then he melted as those lips met his. Hibiya
leaned into the kiss, feeling Delic's soft tongue gently lick him to ask for
permission to enter. He parted his mouth shyly and almost swooned when the
blond's tongue devoured him. The two hands at the either sides of his face drew
him closer, the tongue demanding and passionate yet gentle and soft, Hibiya's
own tongue flailed about, trying to lick back or at least try to follow his
lead.
When they finally pulled apart, Hibiya was gasping for air loudly. Already the
windows were slowly fogging up around them.
"Nngh…" Hibiya shivered and moaned when Delic lightly nibbled at his ear then
dragged his tongue down the earlobe. Hibiya was confused as to why that move
made his stomach flop funny but it did. The trails of kisses led downward as
the tongue licked at the small dip between the collar bones, eliciting another
moan from the boy. Hibiya's head was forced back as Delic continued to suck on
his pale skin. The blond's hands wrapped around the younger boy's chest and
lightly slid down. The sensation burned as Hibiya felt those soft fingertips
touch him with such passion, like a painter coloring with a fiery passion.
Not knowing what else to say, Hibiya cooed encouragingly, whispering his name,
a stuttering reply to Delic's kisses. Delic licked and sucked lower and lower
until his mouth came over the perky nub. He licked it once, causing the boy to
shiver, before he claimed it in his mouth and sucked on it hard while his other
finger pinched on the neglected twin to his side.
Hibiya gasped loudly, wrapping his arms around the blond tangles, his legs
tightening around Delic's large body and whimpered as he endured. His groin
throbbed painfully. His mind was dizzy and his body on fire.
"Delic… I… hnng… can't… take it….anymore…." Hibiya gasped, feeling needy.
Desire swelled in his petit body and he wanted to let it out, somehow. But he
just didn't know how as his mind continued to fog up each time he felt Delic
nip and lick him.
After tugging playfully at the nipple with between his teeth which successfully
earned him another whimper, Delic rose up to kiss Hibiya on the lips. His
tongue once again dove in to the moist crevice. He pulled away briefly to say
in a low voice, "Do you need to release again?" His fingers pinched one last
time at the tiny nub before they travelled down to brush against the hardening
arousal below.
Hibiya shivered, bucking into the touch, wanting more. He wanted a lot more.
But he didn't know how to voice his need.
"Do you know… how two men have sex?" Delic asked, slightly amused at seeing
Hibiya close his eyes and mouth and cringe, trying to hold it in to last
longer. His fingers brushed against the head that was peeking out of the
foreskin. Already a small bubble of precum was forming at the top.
"N-no… I never… thought about it…" Hibiya managed to say truthfully. Because he
was more focused on meeting Delic, he had never thought what would happen after
they would meet.
Delic smiled at seeing Hibiya's soft features dusted with light pink flush.
"Do you… even know how one has sex?" Delic's eyes twinkled merrily.
"O-of course I do!" Hibiya pouted as he retorted.
"Oh? Then do tell." Delic smirked as his forefinger peeled away the foreskin.
Hibiya's flush darkened but he didn't want to look like a coward and back out.
"W-well… th-the guy… he… inserts his penis inside the girl's…umm… wait, what
does that have anything to do with this?"
"Everything. After all, you said you wanted more right? The next step after
foreplay would be sex, don't you think?"
"Well… yeah but… I'm not a girl." Hibiya felt more and more embarrassed by the
sudden talk of sex despite the fact that he was in the midst of a sexual
intercourse.
"Yes. So… since you don't have those particular assets of a woman, how do you
think guys have sex?" Delic continued to teasingly ask as now his fingers
curled around the tiny erection that bobbed up and down seeking for attention.
"I… well… …." Hibiya's mind was fogging up with desires as Delic teased his
cock but he tried his best to think of a reasonable answer without being all
embarrassed at thinking of a nude woman.
"I don't… know…" Hibiya felt very confused and very horny, which only made him
more and more frustrated without knowing how to release it.
"Well, since a man doesn't have that function… the men would use an alternate
method." The fingers uncurled from the cock which made Hibiya even more
frustrated. They ghosted down the length and then lower to the entrance to his
rectum, lightly encircling the hole.
The realization was a shock to the boy.
"Y-you mean… you… insert your…." Hibiya tensed up at the thought. He looked
over at Delic's bulging pants.
Hibiya gulped nervously. "C-can it… even fit?"
***** The Rose *****
Delic looked amused as he pushed and slid the boy up on his chair that lay flat
across.
"I'll make sure that I fit inside you." he said with confidence that sent a
shiver down Hibiya's spine.
Pushing up both of Hibiya's legs, Delic hooked though pale thighs on each of
his own shoulders. Then he opened his mouth to take in one of Hibiya's
testicles and sucked on it fondly. Hibiya gasped and cried silently at the
sensation, his hands gripping on to the sides of his chair.
Delic licked them a few times before his tongue flattened and dragged down
lower. Hibiya twitched as he could feel Delic's devious tongue lick him lower
and lower.
"W-wait... but th-that's!" Before Hibiya could continue, his breath was stolen
away by another arousing sensation when he felt that softness lick his
puckering hole.
"D-Delic! Nnngh…. n-no… b-but that's…" Hibiya stopped himself. He couldn't say
the word 'dirty' in case he hurt Delic's feelings again. But having Delic suck
his privates and lick his anus was beyond anything he had ever imagined.
"Hnnngh…" Hibiya was conflicted with his inner strive for modesty while he did
not want to push away this man that he had finally been able to catch up to.
Instead, he balled up his hands around his sides and tensed.
"Relax..." Delic said with a smile as he pulled away briefly to talk. Hibiya
didn't want to but he tried to release the tension just a bit. Wrapping his
hands around the bottom of Hibiya's small and firm cheeks, the host used his
thumbs to stretch the hole. Delic smiled as he noticed the muscles twitch in
anticipation.
Hibiya cried softly when he felt that tongue twist and plunge inside him. Delic
licked at his velvety folds, moving in and out of him with ease as he wetted
the rectum with his saliva. His legs curled around Delic's neck and back, stuck
in between wanting to push him away yet wanting to pull him closer. The host
sucked and licked liberally, not listening to Hibiya's moans of protests. Once
Hibiya was wet enough, Delic pulled out only to plunge back inside the boy's
tight hole with his finger.
The teen gasped and stifled a moan when he felt Delic now attack his swollen
erection, taking the length fully in his mouth and sucking him dry.
"D-Delic...! Aaah... aaaah...! I… I can't... aaah!"
Once the second finger wiggled its way in and stroked his prostate as Delic
sucked on his length, Hibiya cried loudly and came into the blond's mouth,
shuddering as his orgasm ceased control of his body and vision.
Delic didn't stop his licking until Hibiya finished coming in several squirts.
When the host pulled out, the boy was a quivering mess, his limbs limp with
exhaustion.
When Hibiya looked down, his eyes widened and his cheeks flushed as Delic
poured out the creamy cum from his mouth to his hand. Those brilliant rose eyes
shined like high-class cut jewels as they twinkled playfully.
"We're not done yet, Chibiya." He smiled as he used the cum to lubricate his
fingers.
Hibiya however did not hear Delic's suggestive words. Instead his eyes were
focused on Delic's eyes.
"I… I found it." Hibiya's eyes widened in disbelief. He sat up quickly.
"Found.. what?" Delic dropped his playfulness as he frowned slightly at Hibiya.
"The rose! The rose you're looking for! The reason why you couldn't find your
rose is because it's your eyes! And they were darkening!"
Delic almost snorted but he caught himself. "This isn't a fairytale, Hibiya."
"Well no, but Izaya was telling the truth! Your eyes! They're not dark anymore.
I think… I made it in time!"
Delic looked a bit confused. "This isn't Beauty and the Beast where there's a
race against time before the last rose petal falls, Chibi-chan."
"But…"
"No buts." Delic decided as he lowered the boy again. He regarded him with his
serious eyes. "Hibiya. I'm about to take your innocence. Are you going to be
okay with that?"
Hibiya looked up at Delic, meeting those eyes that hid the scars over the years
of pain he had suffered.
"Of course."
Delic still wasn't quite sure if he should be taking the virginity of this boy
who still believed in fairy tales, but there was no going back now. He kissed
the side of Hibiya's temple before he inserted his wet fingers inside to
stretch Hibiya properly.
Hibiya gasped, still sensitive from his orgasm, twitching as his fingers
grasped onto the seat cushion. The black shirt with pink strips fell even lower
from his shoulders, now gathering around his elbows. He felt two fingers
stretch his walls. It felt… weird, as if those fingers were near his stomach
even though that was impossible. One hand on Hibiya's hip held him down from
arching when a finger brushed against his prostate once more.
"D-Delic… I…" he moaned, feeling himself getting closer for another climax.
Delic frowned, worried that the little chibi wasn't ready… but he pulled his
fingers away once he had lubbed Hibiya's anus with his cum.
The host pried off Hibiya's fingers from the seat and hooked them around his
own neck. The young boy stared up at those pink serious eyes as his arms
wrapped around the blond hair and the white suit.
"If it starts to hurt… let me know." he whispered softly. Hibiya nodded,
nervous.
Delic had placed Hibiya's hand around him so he would reflexively know if the
boy was in pain even if he wouldn't tell him. After letting out a deep breath,
Delic positioned himself under Hibiya's puckering hole and started to enter
slowly.
At first all Hibiya felt was that it was weird. Delic had stretched him enough
that it didn't hurt, but feeling filled slowly was a weird feeling as his walls
clamped around the intruder.
"D-Delic…." He whispered anxiously, nervous at the new sensation.
"Tell me to stop if it hurts." Delic repeated, stopping immediately.
Hibiya only shook his head, nudging him to go on.
Swallowing drily, the host continued to push in, whispering small
encouragements that Hibiya was doing well and he needed to relax.
It didn't hurt. Just… weird. Until suddenly pain scorched through his spine
when Delic was half way in. "Hnngh…!" Hibiya gritted his teeth and reflexively
tightened up, his fingers clutching onto those blond strands.
Again Delic froze and started kissing Hibiya's cheek and side temple to
distract him as the boy adjusted to his size. After seconds that led to a
minute, Hibiya gave him a brave nod and Delic pushed forward once again.
Hibiya panted heavily, trying to open up his legs more as they wrapped around
Delic's large waist. He tried to relax as the thick rod thrust its way inside
him. His stomach felt full, and his ass felt full, as if there was no more room
for the cock to push in any deeper. But it kept going in further and further
inside him.
"Hyaaaa! Oh god…" Hibiya cried out when the cock pushed past his sphincter and
popped into his innermost rectum. Delic stopped again as the boy clung to him
for his dear life, tears streaming down his eyes in pain.
"Shhh…" the blond licked his tears away and then kissed him. "Give me your
tongue, Hibiya."
Still partially crying, Hibiya obeyed. He opened his mouth and held out his
tongue, seeking comfort. Delic licked softly at his tongue with his own,
cuddling him gently as each lick washed away the pain. The host continued to
lick for awhile before closing his mouth on top of him and tenderly sucked
Hibiya's tiny tongue.
After Hibiya stopped crying and after Delic was sure he was no longer in pain,
he started to move. He pulled out until only his head was inside Hibiya then he
pushed himself back in, causing the younger boy to shudder as his entire body
was shoved back from the force. But it didn't hurt anymore. Delic knew this
with the way Hibiya's fingers didn't clutch to his hair desperately, but rather
just holding on to him.
Again while caressing Hibiya's smooth pale hips, a thumb gently following the
curve of the petit hip bone, Delic pushed back out only to thrust inside him
deeply.
Hibiya cried out, feeling the hard cock thrusting into his prostate, causing
him blinding pleasure. Again and again, Delic carefully rocked his small frame,
each of his thrust measured and angled to give the boy maximum pleasure.
Hibiya's toes curled as his legs shuddered. He flung his head back, not even
realizing those cries of wanton moans were his.
Delic too shuddered, feeling Hibiya's virgin walls clamp down on his cock,
sucking him in each time he pushed inside him deeply. The embarrassed flush of
his face with his fluttering eyes shamefully closed, and his voice… god his
voice! The way he mewed and sang his name with such a lust filled cries! He
shuddered with excitement that travelled straight down his spine to his hard
cock which only grew harder with each thrust.
"D-Delic! Delic! I… I'm gonna…!" Hibiya shouted urgently, his heavy lidded eyes
desperately searching for his host.
"It's alright. Go ahead…" the blond cooed.
"N-no! B-but… y-you're not… hnnnng…!" Hibiya arched, trying to force himself
not to come as he knew Delic was no where near his orgasm.
"I'll be fine. Go ahead and let it go."
"N-no! I… refuse!" Hibiya cried, his face contorting as he tried to hold back
his rush of pleasure with each thrust Delic was sending him.
"Like I said it's okay…"
But Hibiya already unhooked his arms from the blond and grabbed onto the shaft
of his erection.
"I… I want to come together…. hnnngh…." His face scrunched up as he held back
the waves of rushes coming at him in tidal waves.
"So stubborn…" Delic smirked. He held those slim waist firmly and started to
pick up his pace, slamming into the boy with a bit more force. Hibiya cried out
as his entire body trembled before the powerful thrusts, his small back
arching.
"Aaaah….! Aaaanh…! Aaaaaanh….! Aaaann! D-Delic!" the boy moaned in tandem with
the beat of each thrust, his legs useless now with the on slaughter of pleasure
wrecking his body.
"Hibiya…." Delic whispered a small moan too as his hand wrapped around the thin
wrist and pulled it away from the swollen erection.
Hibiya cried out loud as he tightened his ass around the hard cock inside him,
shivering as a violent orgasm stole his vision and his sense of time and place.
He felt himself ascend to the heaven as euphoria swam in his head.
When Hibiya tensed around Delic's cock, he too came after few short thrusts,
filling the rectum with his own cum until it overflowed and squirted out. The
little chibi gasped as his ass was flooded with warm jets of sticky liquid,
shuddering at the sensation.
Hibiya panted heavily, still floating somewhere in between the hazy clouds as
Delic pulled out. The thick cum dripped down those plump thighs, dribbling out
of the twitching anus. Delic gulped at the sinful sight before him, feeling
guilty that he wanted another round with the boy. But he had another matter to
attend to.
"Hibiya… are you okay? Hibiya?" Delic leaned forward and asked, worried that he
might have hurt him too much.
Delic blinked when he noticed his little chibi's even breath. Hibiya had fallen
asleep from exhaustion.
"You did well, Ochibi-chan." Delic smiled and kissed the side of Hibiya's face,
his hair matted with sweat.
The host reached over for tissues and started to clean up the mess that
continued to drip down Hibiya's tired limbs. Delic cuddled his young and brave
prince as he tugged his suit jacket to cover him. He didn't want his prince to
catch cold, not caring that his expensive clothes would be dirtied.
Because Hibiya meant so much more to him.
Though Delic decided he won't be showing him exactly 'how much more' for just a
while longer.
Placing their foreheads together, Delic whispered to his sleeping prince who
saved his life,
"I love you more than you'll ever know."

Delic closed the door shut with his foot as he walked in, carrying his sleeping
prince in his arm in bridal style. Hibiya was wearing Delic's several-sizes-
too-large clothes as they hung loosely. In his sleep, he was clinging onto
Delic's shirt with his hands still tucked inside his long sleeves.
"Good morning. Did you have a nice sleep?"
Delic glared at the informant who was still awake, typing away on his computer
without looking up at them. Without a word, he walked quietly to Hibiya's room
and placed him gently on his bed. He pulled the covers, tucked his prince to
bed and closed the door behind him before he spoke to Izaya.
"The mechanic told me this morning that someone must have tampered with my
engine to break down at a certain time with a clock." Delic stood in front of
Izaya who sat behind his desk.
"Hmmm~ Funny that. Wonder who would do such a malicious act to your precious
baby doll~" the informant played it off with a cat-like smile as one eye turned
to smirk at the host before going back to focusing on his 'work'.
Delic's eyes twitched in anger.
"I was driving on a highway Izaya. You could have gotten us killed."
Izaya shrugged off the cold tone of the host's voice as he continued to type
away. "I am quite aware of your ability and skills as a driver."
"Iiiii-zaaaa-yaaa…." He growled.
"Please, please. I get enough of that every day from certain someone with the
same face and voice as you. I seriously don't need it." He waved his hand at
the host.
That was when Delic caught a glimmer of Izaya's ring. Not the silver rings on
his two forefingers but a titanium ring with a small sapphire on his ring
finger. Delic's anger ebbed a bit as his eyes softened.
"So… he finally asked?"
Izaya smiled, finally turning his full body to face him. "Yes. Took him almost
twenty years I suppose but I guess it was worth the wait. Sort of. Maybe."
"Are you happy?" Delic scoffed, looking away. Somehow the topic was sort of
embarrassing.
"I am." Izaya's smile was genuine. Even Delic could see that.
"Are you? Happy with Hibiya that is." Izaya asked Delic.
The host fidgeted a bit. "Yeah… I mean…. Yes." He coughed, trying to hide the
flush that was slowly creeping up on his face. Nothing escaped Izaya's eyes but
he decided to let it go.
"See it wasn't so bad. Now you'll have a lover who's forever young and
beautiful, always few years younger and in his primes just for you."
Delic rolled his eyes. "That's exaaaactly what I'm afraid of."
"Afraid he'll be taken away?"
Delic shifted the weight of his legs and Izaya duly noted the act as his
display of discomfort.
"Then you'll just have to work extra hard for your chibi-chan hmm? It's a
decent price for having a forever young lover don't you think?" Izaya giggled
lightly.
Delic sighed. "Are you done teasing us now?"
"I guess the experiment was a success." Izaya nodded, now his eyes focused on
his paperwork in front of him. "Time and love are the two things I couldn't
control… I wanted to see how much I could control them if I had a closed
environment."
"And somehow this was useful in order to squeeze a confession from your dumb
blond lover, how exactly?" Delic rolled his eyes. "We don't appreciate being
your toys, Izaya."
Izaya smiled almost fondly in his memory as he stared at nothing in particular.
"Perhaps I also needed to realize, that's all."
Delic did not understand the meaning behind Izaya's words. He did not
understand that Izaya too didn't realize how much in denial he was until he
felt jealous at seeing them so blissfully in love, or how intensely they
suffered due to love. Or why he had specifically used his own face as well as a
certain debt collector's face in order to proceed with this experiment of his.
"What will you do now?" Izaya decided to switch the subject in order to cut the
silence. He didn't want Delic to read his thoughts, even if he was pretty sure
that the host was incapable of doing so.
"I guess… I'll move back…permanently…" Delic looked away again, still uncertain
about how to bridge the gap he had built with everyone. But he knew that he
wanted to stay by Hibiya's side. He needed to make up for all those times he
didn't spend with the young boy.
"Good. Then I'll let everyone know. I'm sure Psyche will be thrilled with the
news." Izaya swirled around in his chair once before he jumped off with his
arms in the air and stretched like a cat.
Delic smiled almost sadly at those words. But he no longer felt the same
towards his older brother finally. Rather it was replaced with just a loving
respect. His heart was now filled with someone else, a prince who had braved
through the years to find him and bring him back home.
And Delic was content.
===============================================================================
Once Upon a time in a kingdom of concrete called Ikebukuro, there lived a
Prince and a Knight who went on a quest for the Magical Rose that granted all
wishes for his beloved Prince. On his journey, the Knight fell under a curse
and he failed to return to his beloved Prince.
Many years passed. With the help of the wise words from the Prophet, the Prince
went on a journey to find his cursed but beloved Knight. Accompanied by his two
trusted advisers and with the help of the unlikely creature, the Snake, the
Prince was able to find his Knight and lift the curse from him. And he asked
him to come back to his side.
The Knight said with a shameful sigh, "I can not return until I finish my quest
for the Rose that grants all wishes, Your Highness. I wish for your everlasting
happiness."
The Prince told his Knight, "My wish is to have you by my side forever, Sir
Knight. So please come back to me."
Upon hearing those words, the Knight gladly returned to be at his Prince's
side, forever accompanying him in his long and peaceful reign. During this
journey home, each and everyone were able to find the secret rose that everyone
had hidden deep inside them, finding love and happiness within the company of
their significant others. They found out that in the end, there was no need for
a Magical Rose that granted all their wishes but that everyone had a small
invisible flower that bloomed ever so quietly within them that had a magical
power stronger than even that of the Magical Rose.
The Prince was happy with his Knight and he too was happy to be with his
beloved Prince.
And everyone lived happily ever after.
