Everything Goes Black

It was about four in the afternoon the following day, before they went over to Tsume’s place. The boy had been bothering him about it since the morning, but the man had been avoiding the subject. It was when they were out on some errands that it was actually Tsume that had brought it up, by accident. But that wasn’t before Toboe’s conversation led to the idea of course.

“So,” he asked as they walked along the sidewalk together, “Do you think you’re going to sleep over again? Do you have to work tomorrow?”

“Yeah,” the man replied, “I work all day.” He was carrying a bag filled with groceries, knowing that it was not that many days ago when he had done this. Today was slightly overcast with no sun to be seen, just grey clouds against a grim celadon sky. The morning news had said that the city would most likely see rain today, so Toboe had brought an umbrella just in case.

“But are you staying over again?” the boy asked once more, a slight sound of pleading in his tone.

Tsume looked down at him; he sure as hell was persistent, and needy too. He sighed, “Again? Look, I need a good night’s rest and the couch isn’t doing it good enough. Like I said, I gotta work tomorrow.” He looked up to the sky as a small hint of thunder sounded in the distance. “It’s gonna rain in a minute.”

Toboe looked up as well, getting his umbrella ready to expand. “Well, how far is your apartment?” he asked.

The man looked back down at him, realizing what he’d done. “Not too far.” He sighed.

The boy smiled. He knew that for his friend to let him see his apartment was a big step. He had trust issues, not only from his past life, but from this time around as well. It was hard for Tsume to give in to something like this; he couldn’t just let people in immediately, not even him.

It took them another twenty minutes to venture to the older wolf’s place, having left the motorcycle at the younger one’s building. But they hadn’t planned to stop by the other apartment anyway; at least Tsume hadn’t.

As they approached the building, the boy could see that Tsume was not kidding about it being a bad neighborhood. The sounds of sirens, dogs barking, loud music and occasional bantering echoed through the streets, alarming him a little bit. He latched onto the older man’s arm and was startled when he did not pull away from; he just let out a small grumble.

The boy decided to speak up and talk about happier things, as he was a bit nervous. “So, you know your motorcycle is still at my home?”

“Yeah. So?” the man plainly replied.

“Well,” Toboe started again, “You have to come get it, right?”

“Don’t have to. I can walk tomorrow. Or take the bus. I’ll come by on my way home.”

“Oh,” the boy frowned, “Well…” He was afraid to continue, but did so any way. “Well, could I stay here then?” He looked up at Tsume, expecting him to growl and throw him off of his arm.

“I don’t know, runt.” He frowned, “Besides, I don’t really clean. So be prepared.” He paused but then continued, “I told you this place was shitty. Can’t you see that yet? Look around.”

Toboe silently agreed with him. But then he thought of an idea, “Oh! You’re gone at work tomorrow!”

Tsume looked at the excited boy on his arm but didn’t say anything.

“I could clean! While you’re gone I could clean for you!” The boy was very happy with his idea, “It would be great! And then I’d make dinner for when you got home too.” He smiled again, began to calm down and looked forward to the cracked pavement. His expression and tone softened as he leaned in closer to the tall body next to him. “I can take care of you, Tsume… Just let me.” He then smiled at him.

The man bit his lip, thought for a minute and then pushed the kid off of his arm. Seriously? He was a grown man; he didn’t need some young pup to “take care of him”.

The boy stumbled backwards but caught his balance. He frowned and put both hands into his pockets, seeing that the older one wouldn’t even make eye contact with him now. “That was stupid.” He thought.

“This is it.” The man said a few seconds later. Toboe looked up at the tall, old building as he followed Tsume to the front door. It swung open with a push as he noticed that the doorknob was broken. He frowned, catching the door before it slammed back into him. The man hurriedly ran up the stairs, the boy quickly following behind. It was four flights up until they finally stopped, Toboe bent over and catching his breath. Tsume looked back to him and rolled his eyes, “You always that pathetic?”

“Shut up!” the boy snapped at him.

The man laughed and reached into his pocket with the free hand while still carrying the bag of food. He pulled out his keys and looked up, noticing a posted note on the door. He froze, reading it. “Shit.” He muttered.

Toboe looked up as his friend swore, also hearing footsteps slowly descending from the stairs above them. He glanced upwards, noticing the same four men that had assaulted them days ago. He immediately jumped behind Tsume who took a prepared stance, one arm stretched in front of Toboe in attempt to protect him. The older one may have not been able to do anything the time before, but not today. He would rather die first than feel like shit again.

Their leader was not smiling this time, but held the expression of a man who had been ignored and lied to. He was pissed and ready for what he deserved. “So,” he growled and looked the silver haired man into the eyes as he approached him, “You realize that you’re past due?”

“No, I’m not!” Tsume growled back at him, “I left you the payment in the usual spot!”

“Fuck no! I didn’t agree to that, you shitbag!” the man snapped back angrily. “I asked for the full payment on your account and all you did was give me a fucking small piece of it!”

“That’s a lie! You never said that!” Tsume defended himself, “You gotta be crazy if you think I could’ve gotten you all of it that fast! You’re outta your fucking mind…” He was just as angry as the man who had confronted him.

The leader didn’t say anything but looked past Tsume, to the boy who stood shaking and frightened behind him. He straightened his stance and sighed, both hands in his pockets. “Fine,” he finally spoke, “If that’s the way it’s gonna be… Kev! The boy!” The other man to his side stepped out and approached the two figures quickly.

“Like hell!” Tsume jutted forward right before the man could grab Toboe, striking into his jaw with his shoulder, sending the man stumbling back from the blow. The thug grabbed his face and yelled as blood began to trickle down his fingers. “You fucker!” he screamed, pulling out his knife and extending the sharp blade.

“Toboe! Out the window! NOW!” Tsume yelled at him.

“What?!” Toboe yelped and looked behind him, seeing the escape window at the end of the hall. He glanced at Tsume whose face was both furiously angry and fearful. He wanted to stay; he wanted to help but he knew he couldn’t. Hoping that Tsume would soon follow him, he made a quick dodge for the window as the man with the knife charged after him.

Tsume took that moment to throw the bag full of groceries at the three other men, produce, canned goods and boxes flying at them with full force. The leader of the group fell over and into one of his lackeys as the fourth man jumped aside from the mess.

Tsume then immediately jumped in front of the running boy to stop the charging man, knife in hand. He jumped back, almost missing the swinging knife that cut into his upper left thigh. He winced painfully as his blood splattered onto the wall next to him. The man continued to swing the weapon at him as the silver haired man tried to dodge each attack.

His eyes glanced over at the fourth man coming his way and he took advantage of the opportunity. As the guy reached him, he grabbed onto his arm and quickly swung him into his attacker’s path. The man screamed as the sharp knife was driven into his gut and he fell over, stumbling to the ground. The second man who’d stabbed him gasped, standing there shocked with his eyes widened as he watched the man fall below him.

Tsume bit his lip and looked back at the mess he’d made right before he ran for the escape window. Even though he possibly made things worse, he had at least bought himself a little bit of time.

Their leader screamed as he tried to regain his footing, pushing the third man off of him as the food mess rolled off of his clothes. “FUCK! DON’T LET THEM GO!”

Tsume leapt out of the window and onto the escape ladder, quickly running down it. Toboe was just ahead, having trouble making it all the way down. “HURRY UP! GO!” He screamed and grabbed onto the boy as he hurriedly tried to escape the men. The sounds of bullets ricocheted against the rusted escape ladder as the men above shot at the two figures running away from them. They quickly made it to the ground and took off in a full run.

Toboe screamed as bullets flew past them, one sending more of Tsume’s blood spurting out as it tore a small chunk of flesh off the man’s right shoulder. Tsume winced and grabbed the kid underneath his arm with the full strength that he could manage, quickly sending them flying into an alleyway. Toboe yelped as he was picked up off of his feet as bullets continued to fly at them until they were out of view from their attackers.

A minute later Tsume dropped the boy who stumbled a little at first but then hurriedly ran after him through the crooked alleyways. “Tsume!” he cried, trying to keep up with the older man’s pace.

“C’MON! RUN DAMNIT!” Tsume snapped back at him. The boy nodded and regained his strength to follow. He thought he was going to die, hit by a bullet at any moment when the men finally caught up with them. A thought then occurred to the older one, “Toboe! Change!” he yelled at him.

“What?!” he yelled forward, trying to keep up.

“CHANGE! CHANGE INTO A WOLF!” the man screamed.

“I CAN’T!” Toboe yelled back, tears now in his eyes.

Tsume growled, realizing that neither could he. It wasn’t like this before in their past lives; what was the deal now?!

They ran across a busy street, just barely missing the whizzing, honking cars that sped by. Tsume glanced ahead at the alleyway past the sidewalk, seeing a small alcove behind an old dumpster where they could possibly be safe for a moment or two. He knew the boy could only keep up for so long, and he was also losing strength and blood.

He ran into the small slit between the tall buildings, ducking behind the dumpster up against the cold brick wall. Toboe followed, sliding in next to him. “Tsume! I-“ The man placed his hand over the boy’s mouth and pushed him against the back of the wall facing him, Tsume looking out over the dumpster to the street.

That moment of a couple of minutes seemed like it lasted for hours. Toboe looked up at the chiseled jawline and neck above him as his companion watched out for their assaulters, his strong hand still over his mouth. The boy was sweaty and teary. He could smell the man’s scent, musky and sweaty, accompanied with the permeating smell of blood. Blood? Toboe frowned as he saw that his friend had a couple of wounds, blood dripping from the gashes.

”Shit!” Tsume ducked back down, his face just a couple of centimeters from Toboe’s. He had seen the three men coming out of the alleyway across the street, the fourth one missing. Missing? Oh, the one who was stabbed with the knife. He frowned.

He then decided to just barely poke his head around the corner to see what they might do next. It looked like the leader was telling the other two to split up and search. Great. That wasn’t good. But the street was wide, the sidewalks busy and filled with an alleyway between almost every building. They could search anywhere. Hopefully they had a little more time to regain their strength.

The sky was getting darker as the evening and the storm approached. They had already lost the umbrella during the chase, so there was no use for that. But right now, the biggest concern was the remaining three men after them.

After he knew they were in the clear for a moment, Tsume took his hand off the boy’s mouth. “I’m sorry.” He muttered. He felt terrible for the mess he’d put the kid in, but Toboe thought it was for silencing him when he held his hand over his mouth. But the older wolf was probably right for doing it; he may have given them away. He had been so frightened until this moment, where he was backed in the corner of the cold wall against the dumpster, his strong companion hovering over him, protecting him.

“Tsume, you’re hurt.” The boy realized it again, wanting to touch the wounds but also knew it would get him yelled at, deservedly so.

“I’ll be ok.” Tsume groaned, “What about you? Did you get hit anywhere?” He knew the boy was all right; he would have been able to smell blood if he wasn’t.

Toboe nodded and looked up to meet the golden eyes that looked down at him, the strong body still hovering over him. Even now, with everything that had happened, he still felt safe when he was with him. They held each others’ gaze for a while, listening into the sounds of the city around them as the storm loomed over.

Thunder struck loudly with a flash of lightning, causing Toboe to yelp and grab onto Tsume, who held onto him. The boy’s breathing slowed once more as the rain started coming down, beginning to drench the two figures huddled together against the brick wall and cracked pavement beneath them.

The older one looked down to the younger one, whose auburn hair was now dripping wet, his pale skin beginning to shiver. The boy’s warm breath escaped his lips against the cold rain. Tsume didn’t care anymore. Nothing else mattered right now. Nothing else but this moment.

The man leaned in and pressed his lips to the quivering ones below him, waiting for a response. He pulled back when there was none, his face now softened as he gazed into the boy’s hazel eyes. Toboe looked at the man before him, more sweet and gentle than he’d ever seen him before. Raindrops were running down his face and body, soaking him thoroughly as he stood over him, his body pressed against his own. There was something different now in those golden eyes as he held that haunting stare. He could feel his warmth regardless of the cold rain and his scent, a sweet musk.

“Tsume…” he breathed. The boy’s mouth was once again met by the strong lips. He closed his eyes, releasing all of his fears, past, present and the future.

Tsume continued the kiss, not wanting to part from the lips, the boy who had accepted his gesture. Toboe moaned softly and it excited him, causing him to press his body further in against him. It began to develop into more. He felt the boy’s hand touch him on his shoulder blade and he broke their kiss as his body began to tighten. He paused for a moment and looked into Toboe’s hazel eyes once more, now filled with longing and desire for him. He cupped the boy’s chin in his hand, his face now soaked with the falling rain. He kissed him again and the Toboe wrapped his arms around Tsume’s neck, pulling him closer.

The rain fell, hitting the pavement and washing away the dirt on the ground. The sounds of cars splashing through puddles muffled the moans of the auburn haired boy. Tsume pulled him even closer to him, pressing him against the brick wall as his arms wrapped around the boy’s middle. Toboe let out a soft cry, aroused by the man’s demeanor now suddenly turned aggressive. “Ah! Tsu…me.” he breathed. The man slipped his tongue into the boy’s mouth, whose tongue also met his, moaning as their mouths ravaged each other.

As Tsume began to venture his hand up the boy’s shirt, they heard an all too familiar voice come from nearby. “Did you check over there?” They stopped everything as they rushed back to the present reality at hand. The three men were still after them and they had taken enough time in hiding.

Tsume winced in pain as he began to stand up and stumbled, Toboe catching him before he fell. The boy bit his lip, “Ok, I’m going to lure them away so you can get away!” he decided.

“Are you kidding me? This again?” Tsume replied with a groan.

“The street is busy! They can’t shoot me with people around!” Toboe looked to the alleyway and began to take off when the older man caught his shirt, pulling him back. “No! You can’t do this!”

“Tsume…” Toboe pulled away, frowning. “I’ll be fine! I won’t leave you, I promise.” The man in front of him froze as he gripped onto his bleeding shoulder. “Please, let me do this!” the boy finished and Tsume reluctantly let him go.

The moment he said that he turned and ran, but instead of seeing a boy leave his side, Tsume saw a red wolf. He dashed out onto the sidewalk just as two of the men approached. He snarled with his teeth bared, daring them to challenge him.

“Shit!” the man thought, “What the hell are you thinking?!” He stood up, feeling even weaker than before. He grimaced as pain shot through his leg that had been slashed open. Biting his lip, he decided to do something about the situation. He was not going to stand by and watch Toboe get killed because of him; not again.

As he got up and began to stumble toward the opening of the alleyway, he began to see everything in front of him go hazy. A gunshot rang out and he shot his head up, panicking. He watched the wolf run across the street, unharmed. He sighed in relief, but now the men looking for the two boys weren’t interested in the distraction of a rabid animal. “Damnit!”

Suddenly, he felt himself falling to the ground as he saw the three men turn the corner and see him. This was it. This was the end of the line. He would never see Toboe again. Everything up until now had simply been a cruel joke. He found himself quickly fading as the men approached him, looking down upon his deathly fainting body.

And then, everything went black.
