CHAPTER 1

Aki wakes up with a headache in an unfamiliar room. He immediately sits straight scanning the room. He tries to remember how he ended up here. What happened yesterday?

"Ahh, you woke up?" Eito walks in with a tray full of goods. Aki let's out a breathe of relief as he see's eito. He was worried someone else took him.

"Why am i here?" He asked yawning rubbing his eyes.

"Don't bother...here have some carrot soup" eito said. His voice wasn't soothing as usual. He was mad. why?

Aki takes the soup without any further questions. His mind was completely blank. He had no idea when eito came back or how he ended up here. The last thing he remembers is going to a grocery store.

The room was filled with awkward silence until eito received a call. He checked then hung up. His expression changed and aki notcied. It bothered him. This had been happening since two months. Eito would receive calls which he picked up in private from aki. He would leave in the middle on the night and then return by morning, smelling like lavender. Aki never mentioned it fearing they might break up. He was happy as it was and was scared of ever being away from eito.

Eito received the call again and again and he hung up before aki spoke

"Pick up, it's probably important" he didn't want eito to pick up. He didn't want eito to be speaking to that person infront of him. But sooner or later he had to give this all up.

Eito picked up "What is it?...he what?! I'll be there in bit make sure he doesn't cause more damage" he hung up seeming frustrated as he placed his hand on his forehead. Aki figured eito was concerned about his response to him leaving so soon. Eito barely comes home anymore and everytime he does he has to leave soon which leads them to fighting and arguing.

"Go" aki said.

"What?" Eito was confused. Usually aki would never let him leave. He'd make a huge deal out of it and they'd end up fighting. "You want me to go?"

"Why? Did you hear something else?" He said. His gaze fixed on the bowl and avoiding contact with eito. he knew if he looked at eito now, he'd want him to stay again.

"No it's just...thank you for understanding. I'll be back soon i promise" he said rushing to another room to get his keys. "Bye!" He said and went out. and he was gone.

Aki cleaned the dishes and took pain killers before going back to sleep again. He didn't want to think about what eito was going to do with the lavender person.

NEXT DAY

Aki wakes up to his head throbbing and his heart felt heavy. He rushes to the bathroom and vomitd in the toilet. "What is wrong with me?!" He thought. He couldn't think straight about what had happened and why he was like this.

He cleaned his mouth and walks out of the bathroom to his phone ringing he checks and it's an anonymous number. He hesitates before picking up.

"Hello?"

"Is this aki miura? Eito's partner?" An unfamiliar female voice spoke.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I am umiko. I work with eito and i have been told to inform you about the mail your going to receive later today. When you receive it please do not open the files they shall remain a secret from you at all cost."

"Well i gotta say umiko...your quite a smart girl. Thanks for telling me I'll be sure to not touch them" aki says hanging up. He scoffed at her foolishy as he awaits for the mail.
