A Flavor to Love

Akio looked at the mirror in his room. A red bruise on his left cheek. A hand rubbed his cheek with cotton and alcohol to relieve the swelling.


"Aww, sick Kazuto!" Akio complained while dismissing the help from Kazuto.


"You really suck huh, why do you feel so determined to do that?! You idiot!" Kazuto protested while continuing to focus on treating Akio who had just gotten a hard slap from Kirana for having dared to kiss the girl's lips. He who decided to catch up with Akio because he was worried that his best friend would act determinedly towards Kirana, no doubt saw with his own eyes the terrible incident.


THE PLAQUE!


A hard slap hit Akio's left cheek making him a little surprised. Never once had he been underestimated like this. Both of his hands clenched in anger. If only the person before him was a man, he might have finished him off. But she was a girl, a girl who since she first met had sucked a lot of attention.


"But you jerk!" The shrill sound of Kirana makes the atmosphere of the quiet back campus garden sound echoing around her. His face flushed with an unstoppable outpouring of emotions. "How dare you..," The index finger of his right hand was unceasingly slammed toward Akio.


"Why?" Akio smirked sinisterly looking at Kirana. "Didn't you just say you'd fulfill all my requests if we ended that ridiculous dispute?"


"But what you did earlier..."


"What do I answer your question with? I'm asking you to be mine. Being mine means I deserve you. So what I did wasn't wrong, was it?"


"You..., Arrgghhh!!! Crazyhead! I'm a human, don't be confused with Akio Fujiwara's stuff!" Maki Kirana. He was frustrated to face the man before him still with his flat expression as if he did not feel guilty for what he had done. Forcibly taking her precious first kiss. "I've never met a freak like you in my entire life! Go to hell if you want to have me!" He finally decided to leave Akio alone for class. His body trembled as if it was losing steam from being too tired. Her tears welled up as if waiting for the right time to flow. Kazuto who had been standing behind the wall only spoke a thousand languages.


"Now, it's already starting to deflate the bowels."


"No, no.." Kazuto complained. "Until when should I become the baby sitter of this Young Master Akio Fujiwara?" He saw his best friend who was still silent on the edge of his bed. "This time I really don't understand your way of thinking Akio, if you like or even love don't hurt him."


"Cih, I once said right," he asked with a cynical look at the friend. "There are no words in my dictionary! She was just an ordinary girl, who arrogantly dared to underestimate me! I'm Akio Fujiwara, the man who always gets his wish!" His voice turned high.


Kazuto stared incensely at his best friend. On the one hand he was happy to see a little change happening to Akio, but on the other he was sad to see it frustrating. He recalled the events of the past, a time when he saw the changes that happened to his best friend. Ten years ago he saw Akio's expression change after the deaths of his parents in a plane crash while on a business trip abroad. Almost every day Akio shut himself up and did not want to get out of his room. Even those who come to visit are not considered. His gaze slowly turned cold and cynical, even more so the hard upbringing of the grandfather that forced him to pursue Fujiwara Interprise at his young age. As if suppressing all the emotions that exist in him so that he chose to run away and rebel by playing with women who adore him so that his grandfather realized that he only needed freedom like other young men of his age but until at this time his grandfather seemed to close his eyes to his behavior.


"You're really stupid Akio," Kazuto embraced his best friend's shoulder. "The girl you call mediocre is actually an amazing girl. It's not a matter of my swearing to you and Daichi-senpai just yet so I persuade you to be kind to Kirana. Don't let you take the wrong step until you end up with deep regret."


"I'll get my revenge" said Akio in flames.


"What do you mean?" Kazuto felt a bad premonition from the words Akio said.


"I will conquer him and I will make him my whole possession in any way so that he can never run away from me" A cruel and cold grin was engraved slanted on Akio's handsome face. "Even though he screams in pain I won't let go until I'm bored I'll just throw it away!"


"Akio..," Kazuto's hand trembled helplessly holding back his emotions. "I beg you not to do that because..," Not yet Kazuto had time to finish his words, Akio immediately cut him off.


"I don't care about Kazuto! If it was because of this desire I would be dealing with hell though!" Akio got up from his seat and stared at the fiery Kazuto. Seemed seriousness and solemnity within his dark eyeballs that were as dark as night.
