Danger Zone

"Aiden!"

Aiden gasps for air as he looks at Daime with a sad expression. Daime looks at him filled with worry as he pulls the cover up to his chest and warmly hugs him. 

"Are you okay, babe?"

Aiden looks at Daime with guilt on his face. He looks away and pushes Daime away from him as he tries to remove the blanket from his body and stands up from the bed.

"Where are you going, Aiden?"

Aiden tries to remove his hand from the younger male's grasp. He tries his hardest but Daime's force is too much from him that he feels that the latter is tightening it intentionally. 

"Let me go, you fucking cheater!"

Daime's eyes widen in surprise as he harshly pulls Aiden towards his direction. Aiden yelps at his action and tries to scream and calls out to Primo for help.

"Cheater?! When did I ever cheat on you?!"

Aiden is still screaming Primo's name until something snaps at Daime's mind. He covers Aiden's mouth with his large hands and pins him to the bed. 

"Why are you always calling for him when I am here?! Am I not enough, Aiden?!"

Aiden stops from screaming when he hears Daime's statement and stares at him. Aiden had never heard Daime screams before. Not even once. 

"Why does it always have to be Primo?! Why don't you try to call for my name?! Do you even know my name?!"

Aiden can hear the trembling in his voice as he stares sharply towards him. Daime is crying because of Aiden and the bitch can't even understand that. 

Aiden's mind stops from thinking when he feels that Daime is hurting his wrist. 

"Let go of me, Daime! You are hurting me!"

Aiden squirms around Daime as he tries to loosen the grip from his hand. Daime shakes his head and firmly looks at Aiden with softness and anger in his eyes.

"No! Because if I did, you will leave me and run away from me again! I don't want to lose you, Aiden! 

Why can't you understand that I want you as well?!"

Stubbornly, Aiden still calls for Primo and asks for his help. But he stops when he hears Daime sniffling and he feels wetness from his cheeks.

"I've done everything that you asked me to do. I waited for your love to be mine or your attention to be mine but you are always surrounded by Primo. 

I tried to shake off the feeling of jealousy because I know that one day; you will call for me and love me as well. 

I tried to shake off the nightmares of you leaving me and not wanting me anymore because Primo is more than enough. 

I tried, Aiden. 

I tried everything for you to love me back but why do I feel that it is still not enough?

Did I do something wrong, Aiden? Is Primo the only person that you can love?" 

Aiden stops from squirming and looks at Daime intensely. The grip from his wrist loosens as Daime trembles on top of Aiden.

Aiden can feel his tears as they fall to his cheeks. The hotness from those tears blended with the pain that is currently in his heart.

This gives Aiden a painful realization about each other's feelings. The neglect that Daime is feeling all because of him. 

The guilt of seeing how Daime suffer pains him with everything that Daime says. 

"I hate complaining about our relationship because I agreed with it. I just want you to not have a major problem of choosing between the two of us since you are both happy to us.

But, being neglected by the one that you love is truly hurting. Tell me, Aiden. 

Am I not enough? 

Do I need to do more?

Do I need to compete against Primo even more? Do I need to act like him so you can love me as well? 

Do I need to change myself into something that you would like?

Do I need to kill a person so you can see how can I protect you from all harm? Do I need to shower you with money and force you to love me harshly? 

If that's what you want then fine, that's what I would do."

Daime leans back and puts his head on Aiden's chest, bending his whole body so he won't pin Aiden to the point that he can't breathe.

"Is that what you want, Aiden?"

Aiden shakes his head and tries to silently comfort Daime because he can't think of anything else to say. He can't comprehend what is happening right now. 

All he wants to do is make this stop. Whatever this dream that he is seeing right now, if only it is a dream, he wants to make it stop. 

"No, Daime. Please, I am sorry. Don't say anything like that."

Daime only chuckles and shakes his head against Aiden's chest. Daime is about to say something when someone bursts inside Daime's room and calls out Aiden's name.

"What the fuck, Daime? Are you trying to suffocate, Aiden?"

It is Primo. Aiden's beloved lover. 

He pushes Daime to the other side of the bed and pulls Aiden towards him. He pulls Aiden to the side of the edge of the bed as Daime quietly chuckles at what is happening in front of him right now.

"Oh, my goodness. Primo is here to save the day! What an amazing sight for Aiden!"

Aiden feels shivers up to his spine while hearing Daime's voice. It is vicious and dangerous. 

It doesn't sound like Daime at all. 

"Da-Daime, please calm down. I-I-I am sorry. P-Please calm down."

Primo looks at Daime with his eyes wide open. He can see the familiar face that he had seen from Daime's brother, Vytral. 

"Daime, wait. Calm down. Don't do it."

Daime puts his forefinger to his mouth, signaling them to shut up as he draws something from the drawer in his nightstand.

"What do you know? You are not even there to begin with."

Primo is shaking his head as Aiden yelps when he sees the black thingy that Daime is holding. Putting it against his head gives Aiden the perfect view of what it is.

It is a gun.

"Daime, no! Please, no! Wait!"

Daime closes his eyes as he quickly pulls the trigger and Aiden screams out his name. 

The latter smiles as he hears his name being called by the only lover he will love dearly.

"DAIME!"
