Luca's POV:"Yes, don't worry... Yes, I will, Lenan... Yes, we did. Problem?" I said with a nonchalant tone as my left ear bore his loud scolding voice, making me peek at Blake, who's doing the dishes."Motherf*cker, Luca! You're joking, right?! I will come over right now, you f*cker!" I heard him curse frantically through the phone, making me chuckle."Don't even think of barging here, Lenan. I'm just messing with you, calm down... Did you really think that Blake, your brother will let me?" I asked nonchalantly as a smirk tugged on my face. Well, he almost, but I won't. I just teased him."You better be, Luca! I will surely go there with these grass cutters and I won't hesitate to use these sh*ts to you!" I heard him say seriously, making me snicker before I cleared my throat."So, Lenan... Starting from now, he'll be staying here with me. I'll start observing his symptoms. Yo
Blake's POV:While he's upstairs, I guess, doing something, I picked the Insidious, and immediately cover myself with a blanket as I hugged the extra pillow beside me. When the movie starts, I lift my feet up to the sofa and clutched on the fluffy blanket as I focused my eyes on the screen. My heart starts to hammer when the silence conquers the surrounding, but there's this drum sounds, hammering in the set. I want to turn it off, but my body started to freeze and the lights are dimmed, making it impossible for my feet to walk. But, I forced myself to smile and tried to reach the remote control, but the movie suddenly got worse as my mouth started calling Luca's name.I saw how he rushed to walk here with a worry on his face, making me smile, and not to mention, he has a bowl of popcorns, great. I feel my heart stopped hammering, but only to hold for a second, then it leaps up again when I pat the spot just beside me. I found myself
Luca's POV:I was about to leave the bed, but I was startled when Blake nuzzled on my chest with his limbs on my waist. I stayed there for a half-hour, sniffing his locks while soothing his thighs. He's such a baby. I tried to hug him back, but I remember he has a lot of bruises on his back. An undeniable smile tugs on my lips when he started murmuring on his sleep, and I'm glad he's in peace, not a nightmare. I get up from his warmth with a frown cause as much as I want to cuddle with him, I couldn't, not when his tummy is aiming for food. Of course, I finished my morning routine first before rushing myself downstairs and to the kitchen.Firstly, I get bacon and eggs before I heated the pan. I started beating the eggs as a smile traveled up to my face. I started frying the eggs and bacon as I walked towards the fridge to get some milk for us. When I finished serving breakfast in the dining room, I decided to go to my office first to
Blake's POV:"Is your uncle tall? Taller than you? Same as you?" I asked him without looking, once I'm done buckling on my seat. My chest heaved a sigh when he responded with a chuckle."Well, let's see? Don't worry, I swear, he'll be the nicest person you'll ever meet." I heard him say with a foreign tone, making me look at him cluelessly."Is my brother paying you?" I asked nonchalantly before closing my eyes, I don't want to see his face at the moment."Of course..." I heard him say, making me sigh. "Of could, not... I told him not to. I want to do this not because he wants to. I decided to do this for you." My eyes suddenly widen in surprise, confusion made me tilt my head.I tried to digest those words, but it doesn't make sense at all. The only reason why a person is helping a person with a disease is either he's kind, and he's a doctor with free service.
Luca's POV:"Oh, Luca. You're here," Dad welcomed us with Alex on his shoulder as his eyes snapped at Blake. "Woah, who's this kid?" Dad asks while looking at him like he's a lost kid, making me laugh."Good morning, Sir. Um, my n-name is Blake. And, actually, I'm 18 so Kid is not really professional." He explained, and I chuckled as Dad decided to put Alex down."Luca! You're here! Luciano is sleeping again! Did you get me something!" Alex exclaimed before he ran onto my lap, and I heard a chuckle from Blake."Of course, bud! Don't worry about Luciano, he's probably tired like he always is. Anyways... I didn't get you something, but I think he did." I grumbled dramatically, and I pointed my finger to Blake, making him look at him cluelessly."Um, Hi!" He greeted energetically like how I expected. "My name is Alex! Are you Luca's?..." He asked, and I r
Blake's POV: "Oh my God!" I rushed to the guy who has the same height as me when I saw him limping on the stairs. With his eyes wide open, I run through the steps and immediately held take a grasp on his small hand as I snaked my arms around his waist.
Luca's POV:When we entered my old room that I used to sleep in, I noticed Blake wandering with awe on his face, making me smile with a sigh of relief. I walked towards my closet to change into comfortable ones, I haven't talked to him yet about us, staying here. Yes, I have decided to stay here for him. He's not comfortable around my house, so there won't make him feel like that, right? And, seeing him with Daddy is making me feel like I'm doing well. First, he needs to feel at home, and second, he needs to trust us first. Then, when he does, I'll ask him out. I need to take this slow. A chuckle escapes from my mouth when he slumped his tiny body on my bed, he looks so f*cking cute. I'm trying my best not to take him, sh*t.I noticed him looking at our photos when our parents are still around. It's a photo of us, and a photo with Grayson, whom I called Dad, and Anson, my second mother-like figure. He somehow looks younger than me. H
Blake's POV:The shaking bed forced my eyes to open on their own, and immediately stretch my arms, as a jumping Alex with a giddy smile, welcomed my hooded eyes. His giggles filled my ears, making me roll to the other side before clutching my eyes shut. It has been a week since we stayed here with Griffith's family, and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Letting out a yawn, I playfully glared at him, only to receive an innocent-looking smile with wiggling brows, making me shake my head in disbelief. He giggled excitingly when I nodded and forced myself to sit before looking at the alarm clock. 7:09, not bad. Knowing what I have to do next, I get out of the fluffy bed and waiting for Alex to hop on my back, and he did before we make our way to the bathroom.This is our usual routine, it was explained by this kid, looking at the mirror while brushing his teeth carefully, making me chuckle, as the toothpaste escapes from my lips.
DARK SEVENTY ONE: RECALLING THE HISTORY IV"Hungry? It might take a few minutes to serve, why don't you get some milk?" He said while looking at the pan, making me nod.It's getting weird now. He always has his phone with him, so there's no reason not to pick up a call. He didn't even say a word about going out, or somewhere. Did something happen to them—No, there's no way. I just need to calm right now, it's not helping. Maybe, he's just busy. Yeah, they are just busy with something. Don't think like that, they're all fine. I sighed while opening the fridge as I grabbed the carton of milk before walking back to the dining room. My head tilts in confusion when I see Luca serving the table as he looks at me with a grin."You okay, Blake? What's with that long face? Come here, Baby." He grumbles while pulling the seat and I feel heat crept up on my face. I'm still not used to him,
DARK SEVENTY: RECALLING THE HISTORY IIIBlake's POV:Bundles of warm breath, touching against just below my ear made me flinched a little as I forced my eyes to open. I carefully turned my back to see the giant, still sleeping oh so peacefully. It's pretty hard to move because of his muscular arms on my waist, and I urged myself not to chuckle at the sight of his half-opened mouth as drools drop off his lips. I peeked at the wall clock to see it's 7:25 in the morning as I let out a yawn. I carefully lift his arms off my waist cause as much as I want to sleep, I can't because we need to eat. Good morning, Blake. Time to get up now."Where are you going, baby?" Deep voice filled my ears, making me jump involuntarily."Um, to the bathroom? I need to brush my teeth. Go back to sleep." I said while untangling his arms off my waist."I wanna
DARK SIXTY NINE: RECALLING THE PAST IIBlake's POV:I hiss when I feel a sting on my back, but I shrug it and continue to walk. When I reached the living room, I saw Koniee. I feel a smile tug in my lips, as I hurry my feet towards the couch where Koniee is sitting. When it's only inches away from the couch, I jumped before I landed on Koniee, making him groan. I chuckle and kiss his cheeks."You smell good, Koniee! Look, I saw a phone inside my pocket. But I don't know whose phone is this." I say and continue to hug him, I know he misses me so much, that's why he doesn't make me go away. He would always brush me whenever I'd be hugging him, but now he doesn't!"Isn't that the phone Lenan bought you?" Koniee asks, as I let go of him to look at the phone he says Lenan bought me. I raised my brows in confusion."Why would Lele buy me this phone, Koniee? This is
DARK SIXTY EIGHT: RECALLING THE HISTORYThird person's POV:"L-luca, p-please. Get me o-out of here, p-please." Sobbed Blake in despair, his lips quivering in fear. The shivers didn't stop to crawl on his skin, as the thought of not getting out there forever started to eat his soul. He crawled backwards until a cold wall hit his back, as the sound of chains echoed around the dark room.His eyes widened in terror, as he felt a metallic thing around his left ankle. A wave of pain once again flowed in his stomach, as he felt his throat drying, desperately yearning for water. He then stopped moving when he remembered the last thing happened before he woke up there. His eyes were blurry and a man he assumed Luca started touching his body."O-oh my God, n-no..." He gasps and clasps his hand in his mouth, as he tries to stifle his cries. He feels like throwing up, but there
DARK SIXTY SEVEN: REPEATING THE HISTORYThird person's POV:[THE DAY WHEN THE SYMPTOMS CAME BACK: REPLAY]"Hey, Lele! Konan! Look! I invited Chris and Monie to come here and guess what!?" Blake says loudly while running to the living room of their shared apartment. "He said yes! But that's not the thing, he said they're going to eat with us!" He exclaimed while dancing at his victory."What?... Wait... Did you just invite them without asking me!?" Lenan asked as he gave him a glare only to receive a nod from his brother. "Oh God help me with this stupid brat!" He said as he facepalms.And there's Blake just smiled, brushed and ignored him as he made his way to konan who's just listening to them. "Hey, Konan..." He shakes his shoulder while giving him a smile. "You're okay with them, right?" He asked, receiving a nod from his friend.
DARK SIXTY SIX: THE SENSE OF THISLuca's POV:Third person's POV:Laying on the ground, were the two love birds, sharing warmth under the night sky surrounded by the shiny stars under the domination of the moonlight. It was so soothing that neither of the two of them wanted to get inside where they were supposed to be now. The breeze was cool, enough for them to find the heat from each other, as the shadow of trees made it more beautiful to their sight.Blake had his feet swaying side to side with his palms resting above his chest, feeling his abnormal heartbeat and the summersaults dancing inside his stomach. His eyes were closed, as he started thinking of the good memories he had with everyone. He's that innocent and pure, enough to get deceived by anyone who decided to. Then there's this memory of them, exploding inside their pants, making his cheeks blush.Surel
DARK SIXTY FIVE: DEJA VUBlake's POV:Why do I feel like something weird is really up? And if something weird is really up, this is stupid. Feeling my head, as I try to open my eyes, I hiss at the pain surrounding my head. I try to sit up on this ground, I wasn't lying on a bed, it's not a bed. As I try to sit up, I struggle with my back. When I got the strength to open my eyes, nothing welcomed my sight. I gasp when I don't seem to see anything, but black.I tried to look for a light, and saw a hole from the ceiling. Where am I… Why is it so familiar?[Flashback]"Oh, sei sveglio, ragazzo. How's your head?" his deep voice that screams roughness suddenly rings, making me let out a squeal in surprise, but I don't look at his face. Not knowing that I'm burying my face onto his hard chest."Let me see your face, baby." He said groggily, he really just woke
DARK SIXTY FOURBlake's POV:Previous…I didn't sleep well last night cause I wasn't feeling like sleeping. Luca literally slept like a log while I was watching every movie. I think I watched 6 movies or 5 last night. And now I'm forcing myself not to let out a yawn because if I do, Luca will not let me go with them and he will let me sleep here. But I'm fine, I can manage.I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the plates clicking. I stood up and picked up my plate before I saw them sitting there while staring at me. "Are you okay, Blake?" Luciano asked, and I immediately nodded."Y-yeah, I'm good. I'll do the dishes!" I exclaimed, and heard them chuckling. I raised my brows in confusion, as Luciano shook his head."You d

Oh God, where is that kid?” Asked the woman to herself, looking for her son. She has her right hand rubbing her temples as she made her way to anywhere her feet would lead her. “God, where is that kid...” She sighed.Tiredness was traced on her face, showing how managing a small house and six children made her look like an old woman.From a small room inside their small house, a small kid walked. He had his head curiously turning side to side, while his sleepy eyes were looking for his mother. Sleepiness was etched in his face, revealing that he had been laying on his bed, and it made his button nose red.A yawn suddenly esca
