Sweetest Obsession
#1: Wounded
In a building where the floor is covered with blood and dead bodies lying around. The air smelled like death and gunpowder, and something rotten. The only sound that could be heard was, shootings.
Two men were pointing their guns at each other, eyes burning with rage and revenge.
The bullets were shot, almost at the same time. One was hit between the eyes and met with instant death, the other was shot in the stomach. They fell down, heads meeting with the dirty and bloodied floor.
Zavian Salvatore
That's bastard's dead.
He laughed and laughed, until his laughter slowly died down, and he lost his consciousness.
In the hospital, Zavian was lying on the bed, half naked, sleeping after the operation. He was safe now, thankfully he was bought here on time, so he survived. Being operated by one of the best doctors the hospital got, he had no chance of dying.
Cassius Ronan
How is our boss now?
Cassius, one of the loyal men to Zavian in the mafia, his loyal puppy, and one of the best killers.
Elio Anderson
He is okay now, he'll wake up in a while.
Elio, one of the best doctors, the one who operated Zavian.
Elio Anderson
Call me once he wakes up, and buy all his medicines according to the prescription.
He said, sounding bored and tired.
Cassius Ronan
Okay, doctor.
It has been an hour, and Zavian was about to wake up. He woke up to find himself alone in the hospital cabin.
Zavian Salvatore
Not this place again. I prefer that stinky building and blood that a hospital.
He hates hospitals, he always hated this place because of the smell. But he frequently visits this place due to his risky jobs.
He tried to sit up, but he hissed and fell back down on the bed, due to the pain he was feeling, which only grew.
Zavian Salvatore
How long was I out. Fuck it hurts.
The door opened, and a doctor in white coat walked in. He wore a cold and bored expression, no one could guess what he was thinking.
Elio Anderson
How are you feeling now, Mr. Salvatore?
Elio's eyes were fixed on the file about Zavian's health and condition, but Zavian's eyes were stuck on the beauty in front of him. When Elio didn't receive a reply from Zavian, he looked at him only to find his (Z) eyes on him (E).
Elio Anderson
I asked you something, Mr. Salvatore.
It was clear Elio was annoyed with the man lying on the bed. Zavian snapped out of his trance and said,
Zavian Salvatore
Yeah, I am good.
Still, his eyes were only on him.
Zavian Salvatore
What is your name?
Elio Anderson
And, do you feel any pain?
Zavian chuckled. He shook his head as a no. It seems that he forgot about his pain once he saw this beauty.
Zavian Salvatore
No, it doesn't hurt that much.
Elio was silent then. He didn't like it, he wanted that man's attention. Zavian's faked a cough.
Zavian Salvatore
Excuse me, can I get a glass of water?
And Elio looked at him, Zavian showed him the sweetest smile. Elio's gaze moved to the round table in the room, where the water bottle and glass was.
He said with a sigh. He placed the file on the table and poured a glass of water. He reached the glass of water to Zavian.
Zavian coughed again, he looked pitiful.
Zavian Salvatore
I am sorry, can you help me drink it? It really hurts.
Elio Anderson
I thought it didn't hurt.
Zavian Salvatore
Uh- it hurts now.
Elio Anderson
Fine, I'll play along.
Elio helped Zavian to drink water, by supporting Zavian's head with his palm. The whole time, Zavian's eyes were fixed on Elio. After the glass was emptied, he put it back to its original place.
Elio Anderson
I'll come to change your bandages later.
Zavian Salvatore
You will?
Elio Anderson
Yes, Mr. Salvatore.
Zavian Salvatore
Just call me Zavian.
Elio Anderson
No, thank you.
Elio grabbed the file, and left the cabin. While Zavian smiled like a fool.
Zavian Salvatore
Who would have thought I would meet a masterpiece like him, in a hospital.
But then, something shifted, his look, the soft gaze he held turned dark and sinister, like a devil's eyes.
Zavian Salvatore
You caught my eyes. You're unlucky.
Zavian Salvatore
Very unlucky.
After an hour, Elio returned with a tray, which had all the things he needed to dress Zavian's wound up. As soon as he walked in, Zavian's grinned.
Zavian Salvatore
Welcome back, baby.
Elio Anderson
Don't call me baby, if you want to live.
And he slammed the tray down. While Zavian laughed hard.
Zavian Salvatore
You're threatening me? A Mafia?
Elio Anderson
A mafia? What a joke.
Zavian Salvatore
Do you think a normal man will get shot out of nowhere?
Zavian's dead serious look, almost convinced Elio, but not completely.
Elio Anderson
Stay still, if you don't want me to accidentally stab you with my scissor.
Zavian Salvatore
Are you sure you are a doctor?
Just then he noticed a small part of the tattoo peaking out of Elio's white shirt.
Zavian Salvatore
You even have a tattoo.
Elio Anderson
Mind your own business.
A dirty smirk played his lips as he said,
Zavian Salvatore
Too late to say that now, baby.
Elio grits his teeth, and glares at Zavian.
Elio Anderson
Stop, calling me your baby.
Zavian Salvatore
But... you are my baby.
In anger Elio pressed Zavian's freshly operated wound, making him hiss in pain.
Zavian Salvatore
Damn, feisty. Now, I like you more.
Elio Anderson
You don't know me. You're playing with fire, you'll burn.
Zavian Salvatore
I would love to burn in your fire, baby.
Elio scoffed, glaring at Zavian.
Elio Anderson
C0cky bastard.
Zavian Salvatore
If it's you whose cursing me, I don't mind.
Elio Anderson
If it's someone else, will you kill him?
Zavian pretended to think seriously. Then he innocently smiled, and nodded.
Zavian Salvatore
Yes, I will.
Zavian Salvatore
Thank you for the compliment baby.
Elio sighed, he decided to ignore him and do his duty as a doctor.
Elio Anderson
You should be glad that I am not killing you.
#2: Not Leaving
It has been a week, and Zavian is still at the hospital, not hating his stay, but enjoying it. And here, poor Cassius is left confused about why his boss is not leaving the hospital.
Cassius Ronan
Boss, are you okay?
Zavian looked up from his phone, and stopped sipping on his juice.
Zavian Salvatore
Yeah, I am. Why?
Cassius gulped. Thinking whether he should bring this up or not.
Cassius Ronan
Well, you are not leaving, the hospital. It's the first time this happened.
Zavian smiled. He again focused on his phone.
Zavian Salvatore
Oh, yeah.
Cassius Ronan
Should I prepare the discharge papers?
Zavian glared at him, and coldly said,
Zavian Salvatore
Did I ask you to?
Elio Anderson
Why scare the poor guy?
Elio pushed open the door, and slid inside, with a smile on his face.
Zavian Salvatore
Oh, it's nothing, baby.
Elio glared at him and mumbled,
Elio Anderson
This fucking @sshole.
Cassius who heard Elio cursing his boss, quite clearly and loud enough for him and Zavian to hear, got nervous. He looked at Zavian, afraid for the doctor's life, but was shocked when he saw a lazy smile on his boss's lips.
Elio Anderson
How are you feeling this morning, Mr. Salvatore?
Zavian Salvatore
Just call me Zavian baby.
Elio clenched on his pen, like he could break it in half.
Elio Anderson
Okay, @sshole, how are you feeling this morning?
Cassius gulped, his nervous and feared eyes moved from Zavian to Elio, and then again at Zavian. While Zavian chuckled.
Zavian Salvatore
Oh, I am good now that I saw your pretty face, baby.
This whole week, Zavian never left a chance to flirt with Elio, not that Elio was melting though.
Elio Anderson
Aren't you good at buttering.
He showed Elio his puppy eyes, and pouted his lips. Seeing his scary boss being so cute, Cassius almost had a heart attack.
Zavian Salvatore
But, it's true.
Elio Anderson
When will you stop acting like this, oh great mafia lord?
Elio still doesn’t believe that Zavian is a mafia boss for real.
Zavian Salvatore
The day you become mine.
Elio looked at Zavian in disbelief, while Zavian looked at him with a bright smile.
Elio Anderson
You are an idiot.
Zavian Salvatore
Isn't he adorable?
Cassius gulped, nervously he said,
Cassius Ronan
Y-Yes, boss.
Zavian's eyes turned into a shade, darker.
Zavian Salvatore
So, you find him pretty?
Cassius didn't think much, and replied,
Zavian grinned. He played with the fruit knife. He again spoke, his tone deep and cold.
Zavian Salvatore
So, you want him?
Then he realized, he was about to step into the demon's den.
Cassius Ronan
NO! I don't like him boss. He's only yours.
Zavian smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.
He stabbed the knife on an apple. Cassius just avoided death.
Zavian Salvatore
Find out information about my little canary.
Cassius Ronan
Yes, I will.
Elio loosened his tie. He lazily sat on his chair, exclusive only to him.
Elio Anderson
I'll see how long you keep up with his nonsense.
He scoffed and rolled his eyes.
Elio Anderson
He even calls himself a mafia.
Elio Anderson
Hm. I am bored. I want to go on a hunt.
He sighed and closed his eyes. He leaned back, and relaxed himself.
Question: What did he mean by hunt?
Zavian was taking a walk in the garden, which is behind the hospital building. Other than him, and his other mafia partner, there were kids, people in wheelchairs, people who were seated on benches. But his eyes were stuck on a man, who was talking with a kid with a smile on his face. A smile he didn't see before.
Darien Welling
He's the guy who earned your attention.
Darien Welling
Hm, he's pretty.
Zavian glared at him. While Darien laughed, putting his hands up in surrender.
Darien Welling
Chill, I only like girls. You know that.
Zavian moved his gaze, his eyes on Elio again.
Zavian Salvatore
How did you know about Elio anyway?
Darien Welling
Cassius told me. You know, we are best buddies.
Zavian Salvatore
That loose tongue.
Darien Welling
Hey, if you like him that much, then why not just kidnap him?
Darien Welling
Well, it's your call.
Elio maybe felt Zavian's stares, as he looked at him too. Their eyes met. But Elio just rolled his eyes, and walked away.
Zavian chuckled as he watched him walk away.
Zavian Salvatore
You're only making me want you more this way, Elio.
Darien Welling
Well, I am out of here. You enjoy your time stalking, and staring at your little love.
Zavian ignored Darien and walked away.
Darien Welling
Seriously. At least say something.
Zavian Salvatore
Leave if you want to, don't eat my brain, fucking rascal.
Darien Welling
My boss doesn't love me.
Darien pitifully looked down, and wiped his non-existing tears.
Zavian Salvatore
Be glad I don't have my gun with me now, otherwise I would have killed you.
Darien laughed, and he started to walk away.
Darien Welling
You won't kill me! I am one of your best killers.
Zavian muttered under his breath.
Zavian Salvatore
That @sshole.
Elio Anderson
Okay, you can get discharged now.
Zavian looked at Elio pitifully, with his doe eyes.
Zavian Salvatore
Can't I stay longer, doctor.
Elio Anderson
This isn't a hotel Mr. Salvatore.
Zavian clutched on his shirt, near his stomach, where he was shot.
Zavian Salvatore
It hurts.
Elio Anderson
I know it doesn't, so shut up.
Zavian dragged his hand to his chest.
Zavian Salvatore
Now it hurts here.
Elio sighed, he rubbed his temples and finally asked,
Elio Anderson
What do you want from me?
Zavian's pitiful look disappeared, replaced with something sinister.
Zavian Salvatore
I want you, only.
Elio coldly looked at him, no expression visible on his face.
Elio Anderson
Not possible, so leave.
Zavian Salvatore
I can make it possible.
Zavian Salvatore
We'll see.
Elio's smile dropped. He glared at Zavian, while Zavian smiled mischievously.
Zavian Salvatore
You can only belong to me, and no one else.
Elio Anderson
I don't belong to anyone.
Zavian Salvatore
You will, to me.
Elio scoffed and showed him his middle finger.
Elio Anderson
In your fucking dreams!
Zavian glared at Elio, and Elio simply ignored him and walked out.
#3: Hunter and Prey
Zavian was discharged from the hospital, he didn't want to leave though. Now he is in his room, sitting on a couch in the dimly lit room, smoking cigarettes. A maddening look in his eyes.
Zavian Salvatore
You don't know me well, little canary.
He took a puff, and left the white smoke in the air. He grinned.
Zavian Salvatore
I ain't letting you go, baby.
Someone knocked on his door, then.
The door opened, and Cassius walked in, a little nervous.
Cassius Ronan
Boss. The information you asked for-
Before he could complete, Zavian spoke,
Zavian Salvatore
Give it here!
He demanded the file in Cassius's hand, because he knew whose information is in that file. Elio's.
Cassius handed Zavian the file, Zavian snatched it away.
Zavian Salvatore
You can leave now.
Cassius nodded, and he left Zavian alone. Zavian took another puff and opened the file, reading through it.
Zavian Salvatore
He is 26. Younger than me. A beautiful age gap of six years.
He caressed Elio's picture with his thumb with a smile.
Zavian Salvatore
Elio Anderson, so this is your full name.
Zavian's eyes got stuck on this one information, which shocked him. His baby, was hiding something dark, a secret that maybe now, only Zavian knows.
Zavian couldn’t help but grin.
Zavian Salvatore
This is interesting.
He laughed, being amused with this fact.
Zavian Salvatore
You are made for me, baby. You can't run.
Zavian Salvatore
Now I am the hunter, and you're my prey.
Elio sighed and flopped on the soft mattress of his bed. He smiled and took a deep breath in.
Elio Anderson
Finally, that bitch is gone. I won't see his ugly- no, he's handsome. Whatever!
He looked at the time, it was twelve thirty.
Elio Anderson
Ah, why don't I go and hunt some rabbits?
He grinned. Immediately he felt energized. He left the bed, got dressed in black jeans, white t-shirt and leather jacket.
In a bustling club, where people danced, drank, kissed, got drunk and went for one-night stands.
Elio sat there, on a round stool, by the bartender's table having his drink.
He lazily ran his finger on the glass, with a bored look. Just then, a man with a sly grin sat next to him.
Elio smirked secretly. But he put on a soft and charming smile on his face once he looked at that man.
That man touched Elio's hand, trying to seduce Elio.
Not Important
You are, just my type.
Not Important
If you want to sleep with me, then here is my number, and meet me behind the club.
With a grin, that man stood up.
Not Important
I'll be waiting.
And he left. Just that moment, the bartender spoke,
Cyrus Salivius
Sir, please be careful. He is not a good man.
Elio unfolded the paper, which had a number written on, but he threw it away.
Cyrus Salivius
Many men are his victims, even women. He will ruin you. There have been cases about him stalking, and even r@pe and mur-dering.
Elio Anderson
R@pe and mu-rder? How is he still roaming free?
Cyrus, the bartender sighed.
Cyrus Salivius
He is from an influential family, his family always covers up his tracks and even bribed the victims to keep quiet.
Cyrus Salivius
If someone did complain, they were killed, or the case was dismissed.
Cyrus leaned closer and said,
Cyrus Salivius
Some say, he might be a part of the mafia.
Elio Anderson
What an @sshole!
Cyrus Salivius
So, please be careful.
Elio Anderson
Oh, thank you. You don't have to worry, I will be okay.
Elio turned towards him, he leaned forward and rested his chin on his palm.
Elio Anderson
What is your name?
Cyrus Salivius
Cyrus Salivius. You can call me Cyrus.
Elio reached out his hand.
Elio Anderson
I am Elio Anderson, nice to meet you Cyrus.
Cyrus shook hands with him.
Cyrus Salivius
Nice to meet you too.
Elio Anderson
So, you work here?
Cyrus nodded with a smile.
Cyrus Salivius
Yes, it's my part-time job.
Elio Anderson
Then, we might meet again.
Saying so, Elio left. A grin on his face, hands in his pockets. As if he won a prize. He went behind the club, no one was there, and it was dark, no CCTV too. Perfect.
Elio saw that man leaning against the wall, with a burning cigarette between his index and middle finger. Once their eyes met, a dirty smirk played on the man's lips.
Not Important
I knew you would come.
Elio gave him a sweet smile.
Elio Anderson
Oh, I had too. You were so... sweet.
A lie. A lie and it was all to make that bastard melt.
Not Important
Now, come here baby boy.
Elio walked him, his hand gripping on something inside his pocket. That man wrapped his arms around Elio and licked his lips. He leaned forward to kiss, and closed his eyes. But Elio had other plans.
He pulled out a butterfly knife from his pocket, and before that man's lips reached him, he swung the knife and slit that man's throat.
Blood bled from his throat like a fountain. He stumbled back, eyes wide and horrified. While Elio had the brightest smile on his face, that man's blood painted on his face.
Not Important
Y-You...d-d-dare?
The man stumbled back, and fell down, he hit his head on the dumpster nearby.
Elio Anderson
Happy journey to hell, baby boy.
And that man slowly lost his consciousness, his breathing stopped, he had no pulse, his whole body slowly turned pale, and blue.
He slowly sheathed the knife, and moved carefully, and swiftly between the crowd of dancing and drunk people in the club.
But once he got away, he was laughing in amusement and joy. This is his little secret. In fact, a big secret. He is a...
Zavian Salvatore
My baby is a psycho like me.
Zavian Salvatore
Mine! My Queen.
Made for each other, in hell.
Darien Welling
Why are we suddenly going to a nightclub?
Darien asked, leaving a deep breath. He was dressed in black jacket, black jeans that were ripped on the knees, and matched a white t-shirt with it.
Cassius Ronan
Because, boss said so.
Cassius was dressed in a loose white t-shirt, and blue baggy jeans.
Darien Welling
Well, I don't want to go. That place is so far away.
Cassius sighed and shook his head.
Zavian Salvatore
Let's go.
Zavian came from behind, wearing a black t-shirt, the first three buttons open, paired with black pants. He opened the car door and got in first, sitting on the backseat.
Darien sat on the driver's seat, and Cassius sat next to him. They drove off to that same nightclub, Elio visited, around a week ago.
The car halted, and the three walked out of the car, and then into the club.
Darien Welling
I must say, it's pretty good.
Zavian moved to the table, where the bartender was serving the guests drinks. He sat on one of the stools.
Cyrus Salivius
How may I help you sir?
Zavian Salvatore
Give me a dark rum.
Cyrus grabbed a glass, and was preparing Zavian's drink, but then Zavian asked,
Zavian Salvatore
Was there a murder here?
Cyrus looked at him for a second. Then he nervously spoke,
Cyrus Salivius
Ah-yes, there was about a week ago.
Cyrus placed Zavian's drink on the table, in front of him.
Zavian Salvatore
Who is the victim?
Cyrus Salivius
It's a young master from a rich family, named XXX.
Zavian took a sip from his drink.
Zavian Salvatore
So, who killed him?
Cyrus left a deep breath.
Cyrus Salivius
No one knows. The police are investigating, but no clue.
Zavian grinned. He finished the drink and got up. He smiled.
Zavian Salvatore
Oh, well, anyway, I'll get going.
He paid for the drink, and left. He saw Darien drinking with some girls, while Cassius was throwing daggers through his eyes at him.
Cassius Ronan
This @sshole. Doesn't he remember we are here for a reason?
Zavian Salvatore
What a pain.
They were now sitting inside the car.
Darien Welling
Ugh, you guys totally ruined my fun!
Cassius scoffed and rolled his eyes.
Cassius Ronan
Yeah right, we just saved a poor girl from getting pregnant with your baby.
Darien clicked his tongue.
Darien Welling
It's not like I wouldn’t have used a c0ndom.
Cassius glared at Darien.
Cassius Ronan
Be careful @sshole, if you get AIDS, no girl is gonna be with you.
Zavian rubbed his temples.
Zavian Salvatore
If you two don't want to die, then better shut up!
Zavian glared at the two, and the car was finally quiet.
Hm... a new ship. Or should I just keep them as friends?
