Bodyguard part 33

[krystalkatz.livejournal.com]

Masaki’s hands were shaking as he tore at the red envelope and pulled out a card and an old promotional photo of himself with his autograph on one side and another poem on the other. This was different from the other that he had been reading and he read it slowly with his heart in his mouth.

“DEATH: 'Fair Lady, throw those costly robes aside, no longer may you glory in your pride; Take leave of all your carnal vain delight, I'm come to summon you away this night.' LADY: 'What bold attempt is this? Pray let me know. From whence you come, and whither I must go. Shall I, who am a lady, stoop or bow. To such a pale-faced visage? Who art thou?'” Masaki didn’t know the title of the poem of the poem but he could easily understand the context of it and he knew that whoever his stalker was, was telling him that he was going to kill him. Nino was looking more scared than he had ever seen him and was clinging to Ohno looking as though if he let go he was going to faint. It was strange that it was the prince that was so shocked when the letter was addressed to him but Masaki was touched that his friend cared so much “DEATH: 'Do you not know me? I will tell you then: I am he that conquers all the sons of men, no pitch of honour from my dart is free, my name is Death! Have you not heard of me?' LADY. 'Yes; I have heard of thee, time after time; But, being in the glory of my prime, I did not think you would have come so soon; Why must my morning sun go down at noon?'”

“That’s enough…” Nino hissed darting forward and grabbing a hold of the letter as carefully as he could with one hand while the other was continuing to cling to Ohno. The prince’s eyes moved to Sho and then his own guard growling “I know that you are both skilled guards and I trust you both with my life but we have to call in the police…We need to test this for…For evidence! Their finger prints or DNA might be on this! We have to do something! This man thing…Creature is clearly stating he’s death and he’s going to kill Masaki!”

“That won’t happen little prince…”

“But you’re not going to get the police involved? Samii I love…” Nino paused his cheeks colouring sharply before his forehead crinkled and he continued in slightly different vein “I love that you think that you can take on the world and I have all faith in you that you would do so to protect me but…This…This is terrifying…If this sicko…If this person hurt Masaki…”

“He won’t…I promise you…I would never let anybody hurt you and that means protecting Masaki that is why I have the feed from the cameras…” Ohno said surprising Masaki just a little to know how much he was thought of by both the prince and the bodyguard “I know that he is your brother in all but blood…We will phone the police and have every single test possible done on this letter to find the truth but I think that we should wait until tomorrow…I will call the commissioner in myself…I promise…But first you…”

“Don’t tell me to go to sleep Samii, don’t dismiss me like I’m a child…”

“I’m not, my little prince…I am only concerned for your health and mental well-being…”

“And all I care about his Masaki’s physical well-being…That man had full access to Chocolate and Whisky…If Masaki had gone alone into their room…” Nino pulled away from Ohno and came over to Masaki his arms wrapping around his neck the best that he could and giving him a tight hug that was almost crushing. Masaki felt a little surprised by the display of affection but he accepted it hugging his friend back just as tightly thankfully, for a few moments at least, forgetting about the letter.
