Nothing but a Doll (Special Ch. 8)

He let out an exhausted puff of air as he checked through the storage of the small junk shop he worked at. Everything seemed to be in order, which made things a lot more easier. Aoba hated to do the checking because there was so much stuff that just needed to be reorganized. The jingling of the bells made Aoba stop what he was doing and turn around towards the door. Ren also looked up from the small nap that he was taking. Aoba raised a brow when he saw that it was Sid who walked through the door. He was wearing a black button down shirt with ripped jeans and black and white converse. His hair was pulled back by a head band. He had that smile on his face that made Aoba a bit suspicious about what he was smiling for. Sid wasn't exactly the type of person that could stay out of trouble long.

"Hey, Aoba! How's it going?"

Sid grabbed the swivel chair that was left next to the desk and sat down on it. He crossed his legs and gave a big toothy grin. Aoba turned back to finishing up what he was doing.

"Checking inventory, how do you believe it is going?" Aoba asked rhetorically. Sid chuckled a bit as he leaned against the chair.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I know how much you hate doing inventory. But I know what will cheer you up!"

Sid stood up and wrapped his arm around Aoba's neck. he pulled him towards a side hug.

"And what that might be, Sid?" Aoba checked off the last of the things that was on the list. He was finally finished. Now all he had to do was restock and he would be free to go home and just fall asleep. Today had been one of the long days. Those days were of Aoba having to do deliveries after deliveries and make ohone calls. Sid hummed as he pointed out the door.

"Go to this new club with me. I got assigned to it and I am now working there as a bartender. And I wanted us and some of our friends to come along and celebrate the promorotion!"

Aoba gave a sigh as he shrugged off Sid's arm. he turned towards Sid with a tired face.

"Sid, I would of course love to celebrate your success, but I am tired from today. Can't we do it some other time? Like...on my day off or something?"

Sid gave a pout as he looked up at Aoba. Sid started to fidget with his fingers a bit. "But Aoba, I won't have another time like this. And plus......everything would be free and on me. I promise!"

Aoba pinched the bridge of his nose. Sid was whining, and that was never good. It was always high pitched and just plain annoying. Usually Aoba would give in at the moment so he wouldn't have to hear it, but he was tired. Oh so tired.

"Sid....." Aoba started but was cut off as Sid gave him the puppy dog eyes. Sid was going all out, meaning he really wanted to go today. Aoba looked at him.

"Please, Aoba! You owe me! I have watched (Y/N) more times than you actually paid me. This could clear all of your debts with me."

"Can't you do things for others without getting anything in return?"

Sid chuckled as he shook his head. Aoba sighed.

"Who is gonna watch, (Y/N)?"

"He can come with us. He is old enough."

"Sid...No."

"Aoba, (Y/N) isn't a kid anymore..hell I don't think he ever was one. But he isn't. You can't keep babying him or treating him like he can't do anything or himself. If you keep isolating him from the world, then he is gonna learn things and taking them the wrong way. But if he experience them with us or whatever, he can ask us questions, that way we can help him get a better understadnng."

Aoba stared at Sid with wide eyes. He was so shocked at Sid's wise phase.

"What?"

"Nothing, that was just a very good claim. But, whatever. Fine. We can take him along."

Sid grinned as he hugged Aoba tightly. "Thanks!!! Meet me at this address around 8:20pm! I would be at the bat at that time. Wait for me out in the front. Just tell the bouncer that you are looking for the Green German. Nickname I picked up there today. Got it?"

Sid handed him the card with the information as to where to find the club. Aoba nodded. Sid smiled as he pulled away from the other and made his way towards the door.

"You are the best Aoba!!!"

"Yeah, yeah."

You looked around at the thumping builing. The music was so loud that you could feel the vibrations in your red and black converse. You turned to Aoba who was staring at the colorful building with a sigh. He rubbed the back of his neck. Koujaku, Mink, Noiz, Mizuki, and even Clear was here. Koujaku was flirting with the females as they giggled. Noiz was looking at the information about the club on his phone. Mink was smoking while glaring at the building. Aoba wondered what got him upset. Clear was humming softly to himself. They looked rather misplaced and an area like this. People were wearing clothes that gave little to the imagination, and some were acting rather fast by making out in the open. Aoba cursed Sid's name. This would be way too much for you to handle. Aoba gave a look your way an was surprised that you weren't even paying attention to your surrounding.

"Well, this is something." Aoba decided to mumble out. They walked over towards the large bald man. He had his arms crossed and he was staring ahead of him. He was wearing sunglasses though the sun was down.

"Um...Hey...we are looking for the Green German." The bouncer raised a brow at them. He opened his mouth but was stopped when he heard a loud voice behind him.

"Nick! It's fine!" Sid popped his head from behind the man and pulled him towards the side. Nick growled lowly but stopped when he heard another growl his way. He looked up to see a tall large man with dreads glaring down at the other. Sid chuckled nervously not wanting to start anything when they had just gotten here.

"Why not come inside. I can serve you guys some drinks." Mink looked at Sid before pushing his way trough. Sid smiled shyly at the rest of his friends as they walked passed him inside. Aoba stopped Sid and gave him a cold hard stare.

"Sid, this place is pretty well....out there."

Sid laughed as he pulled Aoba into a side hug.

"It's a club, Aoba! Relax! Live alittle. Drink, dance, eat, mingle. Do what you could never do with (Y/N). I'll watch him for you. Makure sure the little guy doesn't get into trouble. Promise."

Aoba looked at Sid but sighed. He rubbed at his eyes.

"I trust you, Sid."

"Of course ya do! No go have some fun!"

You were squeezing passed the many grinding bodies looking for someone you knew. You had gotten lost after splitting up to different destinations. You have never been to these types of places before. It was so surreal. You sighed as you found a lounging area and sat down. You looked over the railing to see a lot of people dancing in ways you have never seen before.

"(Y/N)! What a surprise!"

You jumped and looked up to see one of the twins. He was wearing glasses and was holding a colorful glass in his hand. He sat down next to you and sipped at it.


"Oh, hi there....uh.." You had forgotten which one he was. You could never tell them apart despite them not supposedly beng twins. The blonde chuckled as he shook his head.

"Virus. I'm Virus, but thanks for the effort." Virus smiled. He took off his glasses and started to clean them off on black tie. He placed them back on his face.

"S-sorry." You mumbled looking down at your hands in embarrassment. Virus couldn't help but let the chuckle leave him. He placed his arm around your shoulder and pulled you close to him.

"Why not join me for a drink, hm? It'll be on me. I would like to actually talk to you. After that battle, I never got the chance to see you. I was thinking you were avoiding me."

"N-No! I wasn't! I-I was busy." You smiled up at him. Virus smiled back. He stood up. He motioned for you to follow him. You stood up and walked with him. When the two of you gotten to the dancefloor downstairs, he grabbed your hand.

"So you won't get lost."

You nodded. You followed Virus, your hands still connected with his. They weren't very big, but they still engulfed your hands in his. Once you were at the bar, you could see the other 'twin' sitting around. He was drinking some type of pretty looking drink. Virus sat you right next to the other and sat on your other side.

"Trip, look who I had ran across."

Trip looked you up and down before smiling.

"(Y/N)! Does Aoba know that you are here?"

You nodded. "He w-was the once that asked me to come!"

Virus and Trip both gave surprised glances at once another before smiling at you.

"Really, well then. How about we give cheers with some drinks!" Before Trip could order them a round, Sid set down three drinks in front of them. Two of them were alcoholic, and the one that was given to you was a soda.

"On the house. And remember, this little guy can't drink. I'm watching him."

Virus couldn't help but chuckle. He gave a small smile as he looked up at Sid.

"I see, so Aoba is still protective of his young lover."

Sid shrugged as he started pouring drinks into a cup and giving them to the giggling girls sitting across the bar from them. Aoba was nowhere to be found, which worried you. You looked at your drink and picked it up. You sipped at it. You recognized it as (F/S). You smiled as you drunk more of your favorite soda. Virus and Sid was having a conversation about something you didn't know about. Trip tapped you on the shoulder. You looked up at him.

"Want to dance?"

You looked at the dancefloor.

"I-is it okay to just go?"

Trip chuckled as he nodded. He grabbed your hand and pulled you to the dancefloor. You and Trip were walking in the middle of it. People were grinding agasint each other, some were even lip locked. You were examining your area before Trip grabbed your hands and spun you to face him. You gasped as he pulled you towards him and placed his hands on your hips. He started to sway to the beat of the music. You were blushing  from the heat of everyone's body. You grabbed onto Trip's jacket and started to sway along with him though it was clumsily. He smiled down at your flushed face. You didn't know what to do honestly. You never really done anything like this before. And it was making you feel weird in your lower regions since that was the place that was being grinded on.

"T-Trip?"

"Hm?"

He spun you around and started to pull your hips to his. You let out a gasp as you felt his body flushed against your back. He wrapped his arms around your waist and you felt a bit uncomfortable. You didn't want to do anything like this unless it was Aoba. This felt wrong. You pushed yourself off of Trip and mumbled a stutter apology. You squeezed passed the dancing bodies and sat back down at the bar. Sid was not talking to Virus anymore. You guessed it was because Virus wasn't there. You sat down at your seat and took a drink of your soda. After a while, the heat was getting to you. Yo ustood up but suddenly fell right back down at your seat. You were feeling dizzy, and your mind was starting to become in a frenzy.

"(Y/N)..."

You looked up through your haze to see Virus staring down at you with a small smile. You stood up not exactly controlling your body. You felt a little out of breath, and more hot than anything. Your body was tingling, and it made you feel weird.

"Virus..." You mumbled under your breath. You could see Virus smsiling.

"Do you want me to take you home? You look a bit tired."

You nodded. Virus grabbed you by your arm which sent electricity up your spine. You groaned and pulled Virus flush against you. You wanted to feel that again. You started touching him everywhere which made him chuckle.

"Hold on, we'll get you somewhere private."

You nodded.

Aoba was sitting at a booth with Koujaku and Mizuki. Mink went where he could find Sid, and Clear was in god knows where. Noiz was in the lounge where technology worked best.

"This place isn't really all that bad."

Aoba looked to see Koujaku as he drunk his drink. Aoba nodded. He was smiling, and having a good time, but something was making him worry. He kept scanning the area to find you but he couldn't He had to calm down. Sid had said he was watching you. Sid was trustworthy. Sid wouldn't lie to you.

"Yeah, not bad at all. It is actually pretty fun."

"So where is your other half?"

Koujaku frowned at the name Mizuki had given you. It was once upon a time that he had taken up that name. He pushed down his jealousy. This was supposed to be a fun night. He wouldn't ruin it.

"Sid's watching him for me as he work the bar."

Mizuki nodded. He was sipping his drink when Clear came back. He sat down next to Aoba and started to take in his drink, which was water. He smiled at them.

"Hey, Clear. Having fun?"

Clear nodded.

"Yes, a lot of people kept asking me about my mask."

That was something that wasn't unusual. Clear wore his mask like a second skin. After about thirty minutes, Aoba could see that it was late. He stood up.

"We should get going. We were here for like hours."

Koujaku agreed Mizuki placed his third cup on the side so the waitress could get them. Koujaku stood up and stretched a bit. Noiz was next to him putting away his phone.

"So where is Sid?"

Koujaku glared at the other before pointing towards the bar on the far end of the club. Noiz made his way over there. When he got there, Sid was in a frenzied state. Mink was just smoking, and putting the ash in the cup.

"What's going on?"

Sid's eyes snapped towards Noiz before he grabbed his arm. He pulled him behind the counter and lowered them.

"I lost, (Y/N)! I can't find him anywhere. And trust me, I checked everywhere!"

Noiz sighed as he combed through his hair.

"Have oyu checked the bathrooms?"

"YES NOIZ I CHECKED!!! I EVEN WENT AS FAS AS GOING INTO THE GIRLS!!! HE ISN'T INT HE LOUNGE, THE BATHROOM, THE EATING AREA, DANCEFLOOR, AND HE SURE AS HELL ISN'T AT THE BAR!!!"

Noiz placed his hand up to silence his cousin. He looked at Mink who only stared at him.

"He isn't in the smoking pit." Noiz rolled his eyes.

"Where was the last place he went?"

Sid thought about it for a moment before his eyes widen.

"With....Trip and Virus.....SHIT!!!"


~0~

Aoba was waiting outside for Sid, Noiz, Mink, and You. He was sitting on the curb playing with the grass.

"What is taking them so long?"

Before Clear could make a suggestion, he saw Sid, Noiz, and Mink walk out. But no (Y/N). Aoba stood up and walked over towards Sid.

"Where is (Y/N)?"

Sid looked away and hid behind Mink, knowing he was the only person that could protect him of the blue haired man's wrath.

"Virus and Trip probably have him." Mink answered. Aoba nodded before letting that settle in.

"Wait! Virus and Trip!? And probably!? WHAT THE HELL SID!! YO UPRMOSED ME YOU WOULD WATCH HIM!!!"

"I WAS AOBA!"

"WELL WHAT GOOD JOB YOU HAVE DONE!!!"

The two started bickering, but stopped when Clear was looking at a direction.

"What's up Clear?" Mizuki asked.

Clear pointed towards the far distance. "There is some energy coming from there. I think it might be (Y/N)."

Mizuki turned towards the bickering two.

You were laying in bed wearing a button up shirt and your boxers. You were so hot and bothered. Everything was making you need physical contact. Trip and Virus were not even in the room, and that was bothering you even more. You didn't know why you were feeling this way, or what casued to make you feel this way.

"Here."

You looked up to see Trip giving you some water. You took the glass and downed the whole entire contact. Your markings on your body started to glow but then faded and stopped. Trip chuckled as he brushed your hair. Virus came in with a cold compresser. He placed it on your head. The coolness making you moan.

"I-I need Aoba~" You rasped out. You were rutting against anything and everything.

"It would seem like someone had drugged your drink." Trip mumbled. You looked at him through half lidded eyes. You sat up and got on your knees. You then jumped on Trip and started to rub youself against him. He smiled as he held up close to him. He breathed down your neck making you moan louder. This was making your marking glow rather brightly.

"Is Aoba no satisfying you? "

You didn't know how to responde, the name of Aoba made you need him more.

"I-I need..."

"We know what you need."

Trip set you down and walked out of the room. You growled and shut the door using your abilities.

"You are not going anywhere."

Your eyes started to glow. You have lost control.


~0~

Sid sighed as he waited for someone to answer the door. Aoba had been cursing at him under his breath through the whole entire walk. Sid felt guilty. He hadn't watched you as closely as he should.

"Aoba, look I am so sorry. This won't happen again."

"Damn right it won't happen again."

Sid looked down at his hands. He knocked again, but stopped when he heard screaming coming through the other side. He and Aoba broke the door down without so much as a warning. They scanned the area. Sid and Aoba decided to check upstairs. When they reached the master bed room, they looked at each other. Sid opened the door to see Trip and Virus upside down suspended in the air. You were breathing heavily as you trailed your hands up and down their torso.

"(Y-Y/N)?" Sid called out. You turned to them, your face flushed. You dropped Trip and Virus and rushed towards Aoba. You jumped on him and wrapped your arms and legs around him.

"Play with me, Aoba. I need you to help me. I-I feel weird."

You begin to rub yourself against him. Aoba placed his hand on your head. He glared at Trip and Virus.

"Did you fuckers drg him!!!?"

Trip shook his head.

"He was like that when we found him at the bar after dancing with him."

Aoba turned to Sid and scoffed.

"At the same damn bar that you were working...."

Sid opened his mouth trying to say something but Aoba stopped him.

"I trusted you, Sid. I trusted you to look after him. God only knows what happened if some stranger had gotten to him."

Sid looked at Aoba apologetically.

"I'm sorry Aoba."

"Yeah me too....for ever trusting you." Sid looked hurt.

"Aoba..."

"No! I'm done....this...this is done. You always rope me into some crazy scheme that always ends up getting us into trouble. You are not responsible. I had thought that maybe you would grow up, but I was wrong. You haven't. You are still that same child that does stupid shit. I'm done, Sid. I'm done with you. This was the last fucking straw. Putting (Y/N) in danger like that.....I'm done....this friendship..."

"Aoba, please don't say it. I'm sorry. I swear I'll make it up to you. Your the only person I can ever trust aside from Noiz. Please don't do this to me. I can get better....I promise."

"Yeah, just like you promised that you'll get (Y/N) haircut but he ended up with a bruis and a cut. Just like you promised to watch him at the club but look at this, he is drugged. And like you promised to watch him, but ended up getting hurt. Everytime you watch him, something bad always happens to him. All this time I had thought the world was unsafe, but turns out, it was you. Sid, we're finished. We aren't friends anymore. I think it is about time you made some otherones."

Sid stared at Aoba heartbroken. He watched as Aoba walk out of the building leaving him behind. Leaaving their friendship behind. He had never seen Aoba so angry at him before. Even with the fights they had in the passed, but Aoba never finished their friendship. Now it was. He lost Aoba, the only person he could ever call a friend. Sid felt warm tears fall from his face. He looked over at Trip and Virus before shaking his head. He left too.


~0~


Weeks had passed which turned into months and you have yet to see Sid. And it bothered you. You lookd at Aoba who was on the phone. It made you sad. Lately Mizuki, Koujaku, or just Ren have been watching over you. Aoba had been more protective of you now. It was starting to get lonely. When Aoba hung up, you grabbed his sleeve.

"Aoba, where is Sid?"

He looked at you before shaking his head.

"Nowhere."

This made you frown. You knew it had something to do with the club and you getting what AOba like to describe 'drugged' but he didn't have to punish Sid for it. Aoba tried to leave but you blocked his path by moving the tabl ein front of him with your powers. You made him turn around.

"I'm nineteen years old."

Aoba rose a brow and nodded. "I know."

You stared at him.

"I'm not a child." You repeared what Sid had told you once. Aoba chuckled.

"You act like on-"

"I am sersious, Aoba. I am not a kid. I'm nineteen years old, almost twenty. Stop treating me like I can't take care of myself. Stop blaming others when in reality I should be blamed."

"Sid promised to watch you."

"Sid isn't my damn father, Aoba. And neither are you! I ran away from the lab because they took my freedom away!"

"I get it, but what does that have to do with me!?"

"Because you're doing the same!"

Aoba stopped what he was doing. You were glowing again. You took in deep breaths.

"I am oblivious." You started. "I have trouble comphrending human interactions. That will possibly take some time though. But I want to learn them....but not as a child."

Aoba sat down on the chair in front of you. This have been holding you down for a while. You looked at him.

"You're my lover, not my father. Please stop acting like one. If I wanted someone to keep me isolated from the world, then I would have never left."

Aoba fell silent. You sighed. This was the longest you had ever went without stuttering. Maybe because you wasn't thinking of what to say. You were just saying it.

"Aoba." You made him look at you. You sat on his lap. "I won't understand everything, and yes every once in a while will need some discipline. But if you continue to baby me like this, I will never get anything. Sid wanted to give me that freedom. You shouldn't be mad at him. It should be me. I went off without his consent, and he came looking for me. SO he didn't watch the drink. So it was drugged. Sid wasn't thiking about the drink but thinking of where I could have gone. He didn't hurt me. You should apologize and reunite your friendship."

Aoba placed his hand around your waist.

"Yeah, but all those other times he got you hurt."

"You never thought about that time he saved me life. That time he made sure I was okay when I was kidnapped. He spent the time in prison with me. He was shot because of me. He saved me just like everyone else did. I get hurt, yes. But isn't that is what being human is? Learning to take the pain and getting back from it?"

Aoba sighed. "Where is all this wisdom coming from?"

You smiled. You pointed at Aoba.

"You."

Later on the day, while you were napping, Aoba decided to call Sid. But it went to dial tone.

"That is strange." Aoba mumbled. He ended up calling Noiz.

"Hello."

"Hey, Noiz. Have you seen Sid?"

Noiz raised a brow. He sat down on the couch on the screen. He gave a soft sigh.

"You didn't hear?"

Aoba shook his head.

"Hear what?"

Noiz let out a sad chuckle. It was dry. "He left."

"Left?"

Noiz nodded. "He wanted to tell you the surprised...that he was gonna stay but...he had a change of heart. After the promotion he made enough money."

"Noiz I am not understanding this."

Noiz looked at Aoba on the screen.

"Aoba, Sid went back to Gemrany with his mom and sister."

Aoba sat there quiet. Everything around him was spinning. Sid....his best friend.....went back to Germany....because of him. He gave a dry laugh as well.

"Shit."
