Days passed. Still the same. Mint forced himself to go back to the way things were. Just like his normal interaction with others, especially with Sage.
Even though he hasn't forgotten what happened because it was so special to him, there's nothing he can do to change the course of events.
He doesn't even know where he belongs anymore.
It's unreasonable to insist that Sage should take responsibility for him just because of that. So, he just chose to remain silent. That he just acted as if nothing happened.
This proceeds until it reaches two months and a half. Until one Friday night, Mint stayed out late and needed to do Over Time by their office, so he got home around six in the evening.
It's already dark outside actually and he is in a hurry to leave because he wanted to reach home, lie down and have his beauty sleep.
Also, Aethercliff is so creepy when it's already dark.
This always gave him goosebumps, so whichever he can, he will immediately leave this place, as soon as possible.
When he had already gone down to the first floor, someone suddenly covered his mouth. Not wanting to inhale, he forcibly closed his mount and stopped his breath because he knew that it got some knock off.
As if knowing what he is doing, the person who held him grip his jaw for him to open his mouth, causing him to inhale the chloroform that immediately made him unconscious.
That's why he didn't see who did that to him.
He didn't even see the devilish smile of his beloved Sage while catching his falling body.
After two hours of sleeping, Mint wakes up in a bed. The dosage of the chloroform that he inhaled is not that strong so he wakes up immediately.
Because the dosage is small, he only has a headache and a little bit of lack of strength.
After his mind cleared off lightheadedness, he was bewildered when he found out that his right hand was handcuffed to the side.
'Huh. Did I get kidnapped?' Mint asks out of nowhere.
He didn't panic, having the knowledge of possibly getting kidnapped. He was actually curious on who will have the guts to kidnap him, since it's within Aethercliff Academy.
Mint shakes his handcuffed hand. Checking if he can pull it and forcefully unlock it but sadly, it was so secure.
When Mint heard the door open, his gaze went immediately to the way of the door and waited on who would enter there.
He was stupefied when he saw Sage– which has an animalistic and devilish smile on his face — entered the door.
This is the very first time that he saw Sage like this.
It. . . . . woken something inside of him.
"Sage?" Mint questioned.
"What's the meaning of this?" He continued while he moved to shake his hand.
The clinking of chains that was attached to the handcuffs sounded within the room.
Sage didn't answer as he proceeded to climb into the bed. He slowly crawled until he settled on top of Mint. Using his right hand, he trailed Mint's face. He then brought his face closer until it touched the side of Mint's face.
"What do you think this is?" Sage whisperingly asks him using his husky voice.
This husky voice is making Mint excited. This really stimulates his inner side.
"I. . . . . this is not a funny Sage." Mint whispered too.
Fighting the urge in tilting his head more and rubbing it towards the heat of Sage's warm palm stroking his cheek.
Again, Mint heard Sage laugh while still tracing the side of his face until Sage's thumb reached his lips.
"Do you think I will kid around? Think again!!" Sage dangerously said to Mint as he grips Mint's chin to let him face him directly and smash his lips into his lips.
"Sa---hmmm"
Before Mint could say anything, he felt Sage plunged his tongue into his mouth and proceeded to explore his mouth ultimately depleting his breath.
Sage keeps on kissing him until he feels the Sage's hands start to explore his body.
Mint tried to hold Sage's hand, which had started to wander around his body, using his other free hand, in order to somehow stop him.
Mint admits that he likes what is happening, but his rational thinking is making him think properly and tries to find out first on Sage's intentions on why he is doing this thing towards him.
"Sage. . . . Sage. . . stop this." Mint pleaded to Sage using his small voice. Staring straight at Sage teary eyed.
Well not really because of his just acting, on the contrary, he was even excited and anticipating what will happen next but he was still hiding it because he didn't want Sage to see it.
Sage stops for a moment while breathing hard. Then held Mint's face, occasionally touching Mint's lips using his thumb.
"Don't be scared. I will take responsibility for all that will happen." He said then he kissed Mint again forcefully.
He proceeds to hold Mint and slowly strip him out of his clothes. One by one. Not minding all of Mint's protest.
While caressing, stoking and rubbing the soft body of Mint. While showing him a kiss. Licking that body gently. At the end, finally defeated by the urge of possessing Mint, Sage takes Mint and makes love with him. He let his desire out towards Mint throughout the night.
Not stopping until Mint's voice hoarsened because of how he loudly moaned with pleasure. Having the satisfaction of making Mint ONLY HIS!!
The next day.
Mint woke up in the afternoon. When he woke up, he woke up with his body feeling so sore, especially his dearest part. He felt like his body was falling apart.
He didn't move. He just lay there and simply closed his eyes.
He felt so tired now. He didn't want to get up yet. But it was as if he was doused with cold water, everything that happened last night came back to him.
He suddenly got up because of that. The blanket that covers his body fell into his lap. Only slightly covering his white, smooth and fair body and jewel.
He blushed excitedly.
He didn't believe that one of his fantasies happened just like that. How lucky he was. For that, he knew he could live on for a longer time, happier.
It's just that he still needs to know what Sage's motives are in doing this thing to him.
But just as he was about to stand up, because he already forgot that he was supposed to be with someone, he felt it hard to move because someone was tightly hugging his waist.
When he looked, he saw Sage's arm. His arms are so deliciously looking as it even has muscles.
He can see within that thin blanket just above his waist, that Sage is still naked.
Mint too is naked.
Not minding the arms on his waist and the fact that he's still naked, he just let those arms wrap his waist. Then he looks at Sage's face, wanting to stare more at Sage's handsome face while he's still sleeping.
But he saw that he is now awake and is smirking at him.
He quickly grabbed the blanket that dropped on his lap and covered his bare body with it.
He moved backwards until his back touched the bedboard. His wide eyes were fixed on Sage.
"W-what---"
Mint heard Sage laugh there.
Not knowingly, tears started to form and silently fell down to the cheeks of Mint. This worried Sage as his smirking face changed into a worried one then he approached Mint.
Gently cupping the terrified face of Mint, he gently kissed Mint's tears one by one.
"It's okay. It's fine. From now on you're mine Mint."
Mint is crying now because despite having the blissful moments the night before,he still didn't know how Sage felt for him.
Not fighting his broken heart, he just cried there. He's really not crying because he was kidnapped here or been molested by Sage.
Call him crazy. Call him a masochist. Say whatever you want—but this is who he is! He wants Sage. He loves him this much. He just wants him!
No matter what he learns about him, he'll still accept him. And then something like this happens, but to him, it's fine—because it's Sage, the one he loves. Totally fine.
"What do you mean? You---- You kidnapped me and m-molest me here. You're a monster!!!" Mint said to Sage with a little loud voice while he's crying.
"Ow. Dear. No. No. That's not true. I just 'brought' you here with me cause I want to have some private moments with you. You called me that, I guessed, being a monster in front of you is very gratifying." Sage with his seductive voice said to Mint.
Sage hugged Mint tightly.
Mint struggled, "No, let me go. I wanted to go home now."
Sage's face hardened then he coldly said to mint, "No, you're staying here with me. When we need to work by Monday, I'll surely take you there."
"No. I needed to come home now. I'm sure my mother is looking for me because I didn't come home last night."
"Shh. Don't worry, using your cellphone, I already informed our mom that you won't be home yet. Until when you're going to go home, I told her that you will just message her. I even told her not to worry because you are in good hands."
"No---"
"Year. That's why you will be with me for a while. On the other hand, I removed the chain that was tied to your hand because I don't want you to get hurt further, baby." Sage tenderly said to Mint.
He kissed Mint's wrist, trailing and following the traces of the chain that wrapped around his wrist a night before.
"Should I be grateful? You literally house arrest me here." Despite Mint's joy and excitement due to what is happening right now, he retorted angrily.
"Of course. What you don't want? You will have me alone. It's just the two of us who will be together. I'm sure. You'll enjoy these moments." Sage said maliciously.
"What should I do for you to let me go?"
"There's nothing you can't do. I don't want anything. Just you. Accept this fact, when I saw that you already did, I'll even take you home." Sage touches his lips against his for a while.
"So for now. Be good and stay okay." Sage continued while giving Mint a kiss on his temple. Then he moved to get out of bed.
"Oh. Breakfast is ready. I'll wait for you at the dining table. Fix yourself now. Faster baby. Don't want to starve you now." He said and then he went through the door after giving him a last look.
He closed the door leaving Mint on top of the bed absent minded.
When Mint heard the door closed, it seemed like he woke up because of the sound of the door closing.
Slowly, he looked down to see his bare body. There he saw the little bites that are now starting to bruise into his arms up to his chest and shoulders.
This is really not just a dream of his. He's not fantasizing this time. Not only his delusions.
All of this is true.
A smile slowly formed in his lips that reached his eyes.
Within his eyes, you can see the excitement, eagerness and obsession that is slowly forming in them.
'This is it!!! You started this Sage. So, don't complain if you can't get away from me anymore.'
Unknowingly, he hummed a joyous song while he walked and went to the bathroom there to take a shower. After taking a shower, he just pulled a bathrobe that is just hanging on the side and put it on.
The robe is bigger than him, slipping off his left shoulder, but once he tightens the belt, it won't slide down his body anymore. Knowing that the robe belongs to Sage makes him incredibly happy—he's thrilled to have the chance to try on Sage's clothes.
He went out of the shower room and then settled on the sink there in front of the window.
Facing the big mirror there, he can properly look at what he looks like now.
He can say that he looked fuckable. The glow of after sex really did wonders at him.
He really loves what he is seeing.
He has bruises and hickeys that were spread down to his neck. He's sure that there's more, but he didn't see them because they're hidden beneath the robe he's wearing. His lips are slightly red and a little swollen, and his eyes are sparkling.
He looked happy.
He looked very content.
He glanced to the side and saw a new toothbrush there that hadn't been used yet. Maybe Sage prepared that for him. So, he happily picked it up and brushed his teeth.
Mint thought that Sage was waiting for him in the dining room, so he quickly finished brushing and went out. He doesn't want to make Sage wait any longer.
Even from a distance, he could see Sage sitting at the dining table, drinking coffee. He remembered that he's still acting as if he didn't like his situation now, so he held back. Preparing himself.
After he was sure that he would not show a thing, he slowly walked towards Sage.
Upon walking, he saw Sage lift his head from sipping his coffee and look at him.
Sage is really handsome.
Sage was wearing a simple black polo with the top three buttons undone, so you could see his well-defined chest. He was only wearing a black short pants.
The hottest part was that Mint saw his hair slightly messy and was still wet. Not the usual fixed hair that he always wears when he's at Aethercliff. Maybe he just finished taking a shower earlier.
"You're here, finally. Take a seat and eat." Sage's ordered Mint.
