Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own anything about Arashi. Only the plot is mine.
Summary: Is a monster with a created mind and heart was allowed to love a human? The monster knew it was impossible however the first moment he saw Sakurai Sho in that forest, he had no other choice to fall for his beautiful eyes.
As for Sho; his first encounter with him was a pure coincidence and falling for him was beyond his control.
A/N: Comments are very very welcomed! English is not my native language so I apologize for my mistakes in advance! I am deeply sorry! m(_ _)m
The monster watched the seasons pass, he watched the forest getting old, he watched the people changing… He watched them from afar, at a safe distance while everything changed and left him behind.
He was the only one who left behind without changing, without dying. He was out of the world's mercy as he watched the time flowing, leaving him alone. The feeling made his heartbeat was enough to cut his breath. He wanted everything to stop. He wanted this endless sameness end so badly but there was nothing he could do. He has to continue living, only to be forgotten or be hated in the end. A miserable feeling invaded his soul…
That was the first time that the monster felt tired.
***
So noisy, he thought while his eyes were still closed. He could feel how heavy they were as they refused to be opened. Strangely he was feeling very tired; like his life has been sucked from his body and a little left behind. He could hear the voices of a lot of people around him, also sirens. Sirens…? Sirens… Fire!
The sudden realization shot his body with a rush of adrenaline. He forced his eyes open, just to see what kind of chaos happening around him though he couldn’t really understand what was going on. Apparently, his brain had given up on working. Nothing but a mere thought made sense: I am still alive.
He tried to speak but his voice disappeared in the oxygen mask that was occupying his face. He held out his hand with difficulty to remove the mask from his face but someone noticed him before he could do anything. Jun?
Jun simply stopped his hand and shook his head as an answer. The last thing Sho had felt was Jun’s warm hand on his forehead before falling into a deep, dreamless sleep.
***
When they arrived at the hospital, Aiba has already been informed by Jun. He took care of everything which actually surprised Nino. As long as he knew Aiba, he was just a bubbly guy who liked to smile a lot. A bit clumsy and very easy-going. Probably more than everyone he had met. Despite being a doctor Aiba had a certain aura that made Nino feel at ease and now seeing that he was in-charge of everything only made Nino feel safe and sound. Or was it because he was a doctor? At that very moment, Nino honestly didn’t care about it.
Leaving everything aside, Nino simply went and sit down to the nearest hospital bank before he felt all the strength leaving his body. It was the first time that he realized that his hands were shaking uncontrollably. Honestly, what a night, he thought. What a crazy, implausible night.
“Hey, you alright?” Nino heard Jun’s voice and looked up to see how shaken he actually looked. What a night, he thought again. Because he certainly didn’t expect to see a day where Matsumoto Jun would lose his composure like this.
“Want me, to be honest? I am not alright at all,” Nino tried to sound as sarcastic as ever, however, his voice was weaker than it had ever been.
“Yeah,” Jun murmured as he sat down next to Nino. “I kind of feel you.”
For a moment they were both silent. Nino had a lot of things to ask. He wasn’t stupid, he knew something was going on there… Something that can’t be explained easily. However, he wasn’t sure if this was the right time or right place to ask things. He was pondering about; what to ask, how to ask, when to ask when Jun saved him from trouble.
“Go on,” Nino heard Jun’s voice, faint enough to make Nino doubt that he actually heard him.
Nino inhaled deeply. “Honestly, I don’t really know what to ask or more likely should I ask?”
“Let’s go somewhere else,” Jun suggested knowing that he had to explain things to Nino. He could fool everyone, every policemen, firemen and medic but he knew Nino was anything but an idiot to be fooled that easily.
Nino nodded and let Jun lead the way through the hallways of the hospital which only seemed deserted on this late night. They made their way to the rooftop. Nino realized that Jun was checking around for a moment to be sure that they were completely alone before turning to him.
“So…” Jun said not really knowing what to say.
“So…” Nino repeated. He wasn’t really sure what to ask so he decided to let it go and ask whatever was his mind. “Who was the person that saved Sho from fire and how the hell did he disappear that fastly?” he asked in one go.
“Wow, you start with the hardest questions,” Jun looked at him as if he is troubled by it.
“I just asked what I saw,” Nino defended himself.
Jun inhaled deeply. “It’s really complicated, I mean, really…”
“Well, I guess I can try my best,” Nino said trying his best to be accommodating, however, he wasn’t really sure how much he could really take.
However, Jun didn’t seem really convinced. “Okay then… Is it okay if I go directly?” he asked before dropping the bomb. Nino nodded carefully. “I am a wizard,” Jun said bluntly before giving himself a time to back out.
“Yes, and I am Hagrid, nice to meet you,” Nino snorted.
“Stop it, I am not kidding,” Jun said.
“Today is not April the 1st, right?” Nino looked around to see anyone who is cooperating with Jun in this horrible joke.
“Look, Nino, I am neither joking nor lying!” Jun held Nino’s shoulder and forced him to look at his eyes. “Do you think I would lie to you when our friend was about to die in a fire?”
“No…” Nino murmured. And to be honest, Jun wasn’t someone who would mock Nino in a situation like this. “But this really doesn’t sound real.”
Jun heaved a sigh. “Want me to show you some tricks?”
Nino nodded reluctantly.
Jun once again checked around. “Give me your phone,” he demanded. Nino looked at him dumbfounded.
“Why do you want my phone?” he asked suspiciously.
Jun rolled his eyes, “Because if I use mine you would think that I prepared everything beforehand.”
Nino shrugged while he took out his phone which was stuffed securely in his left pocket. “Fair enough,” he said as he handed the phone to Jun and watched him curiously.
Jun took the phone from Nino and for a moment he looked like he wasn't sure about what to do. He sighed for the nth time in that night as he raised his hand above his head which was holding Nino's phone and before Nino could register what he was doing, Jun throw the phone to the ground with a great speed.
“What the hell are you doing?!” Nino exclaimed, jumping with surprise and rushing to get his phone. He whined when he saw many cracks on his screen. “Have you gone nuts?! What was this for?!” He examined his phone just to see if it's still working however his phone refused to answer him. Nino groaned with sadness. “Has your brain is fried in that fire instead of Sho’s or what?!”
“Give it to me,” Jun said calmly. Somehow seeing Nino like this amused him.
“So that you can destroy it completely? No, thanks!”
Jun rolled his eyes once again and took the phone from Nino with one swift move. Nino tried to get back his phone however after some struggle he simply gave up. He grumbled something which Jun couldn't hear well. Jun chuckled at how Nino's pout looked cute. But that was not the time to admire how adorable Nino looked so he made him sit down next to him and lied Nino's broken phone on his palm. He concentrated on the phone, trying to activate his magic on it.
The magic wasn't something like it was portrayed in movies. It was neither shiny nor appeared physically when you used it on something. It only had an effect on the wizard which felt like hot fluids rubbing inside of the person that used it. It was weird however a very pleasant feeling, like being one with the flow of everything and anything. If Jun were asked to describe the magic, he would only say it was something beyond of human acknowledge. Because there was no explanation how he was doing it or what was the trigger for it. That's why magic has been a secret after The Witch. Because humans tend to be scared of the things that can not be explained.
Nino watched the screen of his phone which lying on Jun's palm getting fixed gradually. The glass gets back together with a faint creaking voice in front of his eyes. Nino's eyes bulged with surprise and he looked at Jun only to see his eyes which were glowing with a gentle violet light. “Jun… You… your eyes…” Nino stammered. Jun smiled softly. Certainly, this was a lot to take in but Nino was handling it better than Jun had expected. It was a miracle that he didn't freak out and tried to run away as soon as he saw Jun's eyes. This was the only way to define someone as a wizard. The glowing light of magic was the only thing can be seen physically when someone using magic.
“Here,” Jun said as he returned the phone to him.
Curiously Nino checked the phone, first the screen then turned it in his hand to see if it was really his phone. It looked brand new, literally. Then he opened his lock to see it was working perfectly fine and nothing had happened to his data. “You even charged it? Oh my God, this is amazing!” he said with consternation. “Where have you been until now when our computers broke down?!”
“Will you stop treating me some kind of repairman?” Jun said trying to stay on the topic. “You are surprisingly taking everything good…” he murmured.
“Oh well, I am actually freaked out but I believe there are more than this so let me be positive now,” Nino said while eyeing him a little. “Now I guess you can explain me about tonight?”
And Jun told Nino about everything. First about The Witch and how she created the monster. How powerful she actually was, and how she was hated. About her anger, her hatred towards the humanity and so much more. Nino listened carefully, trying to understand and accept everything that Jun was telling him.
“People who are using magic is not equal to the God, I mean we can't just make everything happen. Fixing a glass or making a flower grow is something we can do without a problem however no wizard or witch can create a monster which is immortal,” Jun said trying his best to make Nino understand how powerful The Witch actually was. “There's no denying on it. She was the most powerful among everyone who used magic after her. Some theories say that she is the reason why there are wizards and witches now exist. Some say that we were actually her gift to the humanity to help everyone out before she corrupted and started to hate every single human being and some say that she created us to feel her suffer, and for me, I actually believed the last one,” Jun said averting his gaze from Nino. “Because we have to keep ourselves as a secret in order to stay safe. Those who learn that we are using magic runs away in the best scenario. The worst, of course, is a witch hunt, which everyone wants to avoid.”
“I won't run away,” Nino blurted out suddenly making Jun look at his eyes. “I haven't run away until now and I won't run away from you from now on too,” Nino said truthfully. “The thing that you can charge my phone without needing a cable or electricity just makes me love you more,” he winked mischievously and Jun had to laugh at that.
“Are you perhaps planning to use me as a portable charger?” he asked trying to seem serious about it however he actually didn't really care about it. If Nino would accept him despite being a wizard, he was alright with being his portable charger or anything. Jun listened to Nino's laugh for a while and continued to his story. “These were all theories until our camp, you remember right? The one we went together with Sho and Aiba. You have ditched me again, seriously you need some sunlight for your skin-”
Nino cut him off while he rolled his eyes. “J, you are out of topic.”
Jun blinked with surprise. “Oh yeah, I mean yes! When we went there, we realized that we forgot beers in the car and sent Sho to get them. It seems like he lost his way and met someone in the woods.”
“You mean Satoshi, right? He told me about him but what about Satoshi?”
“He is the monster,” Jun said calmly. “The monster which is created by The Witch.”
“Oh, my God…” Nino uttered.
“And he is the one who saved Sho from the fire tonight…”
“Oh my God,” was the only thing that Nino could say.
“When The Witch was rejected from the world, she went back to her forest and created a garden which would be her heaven. However, humans were not allowed to go in there. It was only for The Witch and for her monster. The legend says that The Witch's garden is a cursed heaven, whoever cares to enter that garden shall face one’s death… Apparently, Sho had gone to find him in the woods when we were at camp and he went inside The Witch's garden. Satoshi only found out about it when he was already inside,” Jun said. “I was naive, I went to the garden, to confront the monster but he was… He was nothing like I had known or thought. You know? The monster was created to hate humanity. It didn't have a heart to love, it shouldn't… But do you know what he asked me?” Jun asked as he looked Nino's eyes woefully. Nino chose to stay silent and Jun continued. “He asked me to destroy the garden and kill him.” Nino's eyes widened.
“Why?” he asked not being able to stop himself from asking.
“The monster loves a human,” Jun explained sadly. “He lived thousands of years, he had thousands of years to hate humans like The Witch but he chose to defy his creator, he chose to save Sho even when he knew that his purpose of living was to hate everything.”
Nino inhaled sharply. “Can't you do anything to help them?”
Jun shook his head negatively before taking it into his hands. “I don't know, honestly,” he started. “You saw the flames, you also know that the fire alarm never went off, you also saw the power of The Witch,” he said. He is right, Nino thought. However, he wanted to believe that there was something they could do.
“You should go and find Satoshi,” Nino said after a few seconds of silence. Jun looked up and met his gaze with Nino's. “He may be immortal but he is injured, isn't he? You should go and find him, then bring him here.”
“Nino…”
“You said it yourself, he defied The Witch and if The Witch is our main enemy than that makes Satoshi or the monster or whatever; our ally,” he stopped to take a deep breath. “And honestly, he was the one who saved Sho. Not me, not you, not the firemen but Satoshi. So I think having him here would help,” also it would stop Sho from going to search for Satoshi when he discharges from hospital, he thought not really bothering himself to voice it.
Jun looked at Nino for a while, like he was measuring the topic however he nodded after a few seconds. “Will you stay with Sho? I will be back soon.”
Nino smiled and nodded. “Go find him, Potter!” he mocked Jun before pushing him towards the door.
“You won't stop teasing, will you?” Jun groaned.
“No way,” Nino grinned. “Not everyone gets to have a real-life Harry Potter as their friend after all,” he laughed loudly.
Jun smiled. He was actually grateful to Nino for not reacting badly so he decided to let him tease as much as he wanted.
***
The monster felt his presence even before he can show himself. He turned around swiftly, trying to comply with the pain on his back and looked at his visitor.
“Why are you here?!” he asked desperately. “You should be with Sho! You should be protecting him,” he inquired.
Jun heaved a sigh. “He is safe,” he said. “You should also worry about yourself too, you know.” The monster chose to stay silent. Jun continued. “He is at the hospital and I left him with Nino and Aiba. Aiba is a doctor and they won’t leave him alone for now so I came to find you.”
“Why?” The monster asked.
“If you won’t get any treatment soon, it will be dangerous you know,” he said like it was obvious.
“I don’t need any treatment,” the monster insisted. “I will not die either way.”
“You need that treatment,” Jun said truthfully. “I know you won’t die but I also know that it hurts. More than a normal burnt would hurt, possibly.”
“How did you find me?” The monster lamely tried to change the subject.
“You are not that skilled when it comes to talking, are you?” Jun laughed a little. “Well, either way, if I let you suffer like this Sho will beat the shit out of me.”
“Did he wake up?” The monster asked. Jun could see the sparkling hope in his eyes.
“I don't know when I left he was sleeping like a log,” Jun laughed softly trying to soften the atmosphere. “And for your information, he is alright. You saved him.”
The monster seemed baffled, he couldn’t utter any words for a moment. Then he seemed relieved. Truly. More than anyone could feel, the monster felt relieved because Sho was safe and sound. “Why?” he asked after a few seconds, almost inaudible.
Jun shrugged. “Because you are the one who saved Sho; not me, not the firemen but you,” he said closing the distance between him and Satoshi. “So you have every right in the world to go and stay on Sho's side.”
“But…” He started to oppose but Jun shut him down.
“You opposed her will, didn’t you?” He said while looking at the monster’s eyes carefully. “I knew it,” he said with a soft smile and turned the monster around. “Oh god, this looks worse than I thought…” he whispered with shock.
“You can’t fix it,” the monster mumbled. “Those flames were magical.”
“I know but you don’t know who you are talking to. Creating a disaster may not be my forte; furthermore, I only studied magic to protect those who are important to me so I am pretty good at healing magic,” he said proudly.
Satoshi chose to stay silent. He didn't know why Jun was helping him, but somehow he was happy to see that Jun didn't hate him for bringing Sho into danger. Satoshi’s eyes widened as he felt a warmness spreading through his back from where Jun's hands were placed.
“You… Your magic… Feels different…”
“What do you mean?” Jun asked confused.
“The Witch… Her magic felt cold…” Satoshi mumbled, closing his eyes to feel Jun's magic more. It was so gentle, strong and steady yet very passionate. It fit well with Jun, his magic was well controlled yet at the same time it felt free from everything. The monster remembered how The Witch’s magic felt. Cold, frightening and forceful… It was nothing like Jun's. After a long time, the monster felt almost accepted by someone.
“You were right,” Jun narrowed his eyes. “The Witch was angrier than I thought…”
Satoshi shook his head. “You are good.”
“It will probably take some time to heal properly but at least this should have stopped the pain.”
“Thank you,” Satoshi mumbled.
“Let's go,” Jun said, turning Satoshi around he made him look at him.
“To where?” Satoshi asked hesitantly.
“To Sho, of course,” Jun smiled brightly before tugging Satoshi’s arm to drag him. “I bet Sho is waiting for you.”
Satoshi tried to comply with Jun, however, he only let the other drag him. His mind was on Sho. Nothing more or nothing less… All he could think was Sho and that he could see him again. Finally and once again.

“He is the monster,” Jun said calmly. “The monster which is created by The Witch.”
“Oh, my God…” Nino uttered.
“And he is the one who saved Sho from the fire tonight…”
“Oh my God,” was the only thing that Nino could say.
“When The Witch was rejected from the world, she went back to her forest and created a garden which would be her heaven. However, humans were not allowed to go in there.

“Why?” he asked not being able to stop himself from asking.
“The monster loves a human,” Jun explained sadly. “He lived thousands of years, he had thousands of years to hate humans like The Witch but he chose to defy his creator, he chose to save Sho even when he knew that his purpose of living was to hate everything.”
Nino inhaled sharply. “Can't you do anything to help them?”
Jun shook his head negatively before taking it into his hands. “I don't know, honestly,” he started. “You saw the flames, you also know that the fire alarm never went off, you also saw the power of The Witch,” he said. He is right, Nino thought. However, he wanted to believe that there was something they could do.
“You should go and find Satoshi,” Nino said after a few seconds of silence. Jun looked up and met his gaze with Nino's. “He may be immortal but he is injured, isn't he? You should go and find him, then bring him here.”
“Nino…”
“You said it yourself, he defied The Witch and if The Witch is our main enemy than that makes Satoshi or the monster or whatever; our ally,” he stopped to take a deep breath. “And honestly, he was the one who saved Sho. Not me, not you, not the firemen but Satoshi. So I think having him here would help,” also it would stop Sho from going to search for Satoshi when he discharges from hospital, he thought not really bothering himself to voice it.
Jun looked at Nino for a while, like he was measuring the topic however he nodded after a few seconds. “Will you stay with Sho? I will be back soon.”
Nino smiled and nodded. “Go find him, Potter!” he mocked Jun before pushing him towards the door.
“You won't stop teasing, will you?” Jun groaned.
“No way,” Nino grinned. “Not everyone gets to have a real-life Harry Potter as their friend after all,” he laughed loudly.
Jun smiled. He was actually grateful to Nino for not reacting badly so he decided to let him tease as much as he wanted.
***
The monster felt his presence even before he can show himself. He turned around swiftly, trying to comply with the pain on his back and looked at his visitor.
“Why are you here?!” he asked desperately. “You should be with Sho! You should be protecting him,” he inquired.
Jun heaved a sigh. “He is safe,” he said. “You should also worry about yourself too, you know.” The monster chose to stay silent. Jun continued. “He is at the hospital and I left him with Nino and Aiba. Aiba is a doctor and they won’t leave him alone for now so I came to find you.”
“Why?” The monster asked.
“If you won’t get any treatment soon, it will be dangerous you know,” he said like it was obvious.
“I don’t need any treatment,” the monster insisted. “I will not die either way.”
“You need that treatment,” Jun said truthfully. “I know you won’t die but I also know that it hurts. More than a normal burnt would hurt, possibly.”
“How did you find me?” The monster lamely tried to change the subject.
“You are not that skilled when it comes to talking, are you?” Jun laughed a little. “Well, either way, if I let you suffer like this Sho will beat the shit out of me.”
“Did he wake up?” The monster asked. Jun could see the sparkling hope in his eyes.
“I don't know when I left he was sleeping like a log,” Jun laughed softly trying to soften the atmosphere. “And for your information, he is alright. You saved him.”
The monster seemed baffled, he couldn’t utter any words for a moment. Then he seemed relieved. Truly. More than anyone could feel, the monster felt relieved because Sho was safe and sound. “Why?” he asked after a few seconds, almost inaudible.
Jun shrugged. “Because you are the one who saved Sho; not me, not the firemen but you,” he said closing the distance between him and Satoshi. “So you have every right in the world to go and stay on Sho's side.”
“But…” He started to oppose but Jun shut him down.
“You opposed her will, didn’t you?” He said while looking at the monster’s eyes carefully. “I knew it,” he said with a soft smile and turned the monster around. “Oh god, this looks worse than I thought…” he whispered with shock.
“You can’t fix it,” the monster mumbled. “Those flames were magical.”
“I know but you don’t know who you are talking to. Creating a disaster may not be my forte; furthermore, I only studied magic to protect those who are important to me so I am pretty good at healing magic,” he said proudly.
Satoshi chose to stay silent. He didn't know why Jun was helping him, but somehow he was happy to see that Jun didn't hate him for bringing Sho into danger. Satoshi’s eyes widened as he felt a warmness spreading through his back from where Jun's hands were placed.
“You… Your magic… Feels different…”
“What do you mean?” Jun asked confused.
“The Witch… Her magic felt cold…” Satoshi mumbled, closing his eyes to feel Jun's magic more. It was so gentle, strong and steady yet very passionate. It fit well with Jun, his magic was well controlled yet at the same time it felt free from everything. The monster remembered how The Witch’s magic felt. Cold, frightening and forceful… It was nothing like Jun's. After a long time, the monster felt almost accepted by someone.
“You were right,” Jun narrowed his eyes. “The Witch was angrier than I thought…”
Satoshi shook his head. “You are good.”
“It will probably take some time to heal properly but at least this should have stopped the pain.”
“Thank you,” Satoshi mumbled.
“Let's go,” Jun said, turning Satoshi around he made him look at him.
“To where?” Satoshi asked hesitantly.
“To Sho, of course,” Jun smiled brightly before tugging Satoshi’s arm to drag him. “I bet Sho is waiting for you.”
Satoshi tried to comply with Jun, however, he only let the other drag him. His mind was on Sho. Nothing more or nothing less… All he could think was Sho and that he could see him again. Finally and once again.
A/N: I am so so so sorry about this late update… I am just making excuses but my mid-terms kicked in T_T I hope everyone can forgive me m(_ _)m hope everyone enjoys this one too!
