Chapter 36: Chapter 35

Hiro frowned, not expecting Raiden's blatant answer. "What do you mean?"

"I'm not sorry for what I said." Raiden shrugged. "But I am sorry for the manner in which I said it so I'm sorry I made you upset. Just don't expect me to take back my words or apologise to your brother because I meant every word."

Hiro was speechless. He didn't know how best to express his conflicting emotions. One minute Raiden was cold and then the next, he was hot. Raiden could anger him so much he'd want to cry but he could also make him feel better in a heartbeat. He wondered how Raiden could make him feel like that all at once.

"What are you thinking?" Raiden asked, breaking the silence between them.

Hiro shook his head. "Nothing. Just don't tell my brother anything."

"Like what?" Raiden asked, a hint of mischief glinting in his smokey grey eyes. "That I plan to fuck you?"

"Raiden!" Hiro berated in a whisper.
