Chapter 48

Harley sat there, in shock. They all had. What were they supposed to do after that? What were they supposed to say? After a long silence, Wafi was the first to say a word. "Are you- you're joking right? Cause, we were all joking. We didn't actually think that you did that, we just-" Wafi stopped himself, sighing.

It was their business, since Hisoki was their friend.

"But, this…. This is different. That wasn't you that was- someone. It wasn't you though! You can't just go out and say you fucked someone! That's- that's not true." Yoshi yelled, looking up at Hisoki. The English teacher gave him a sad smile. "It is. It's just like murder. No I'm the one who still shot the gun, right? No matter if it was me or someone else, I still did it. It was still my voice, my body. You look at a security camera and you would all know it was me. No matter who it is." Hisoki reasoned. He placed his bowl down.

"What- what did you do when you woke up?" Kai asked. His voice was slicked with genuine concern, a soft frown on his voice. He still held Wafi, with more care. Hisoki sighed, looking towards the ceiling. "I woke up, left and came back here." Hisoki said.

When Harley had first seen him, he looked tired but fine. He didn't seem like a lot was going through his mind. Nor that he was ashamed or disappointed in himself. At least, that's not what Harley got. Then again, Harley only recently started paying more attention to what Hisoki did. Mago sighed. "The altar….. Who was he?"

Hisoki smile, shaking his head. "He only tells people he likes." Hisoki says. Wafi tilts his head to the side, cartoonishly confused. "So he likes Baker?" Wafi asked, his voice somewhat a whisper. Baker seems more alert, though not saying anything. Hisoki shrugs lightly. "I will assume so. He trusts certain people with his name. It mostly depends on how they look to him." Hisoki explains.

So the mystery alter stays a mystery.

Hisoki gave them a smile, but Harley for once could see right through it. Äre you ok?"Harley asked, barely above a whisper. Hisoki didn't turn to him, instead looked down at his bowl. "I should be, I'm always ok, promise." Hisoki smile. "How often….. How often does this happen?" Wafi asked, his voice strained. Hisoki smiles. "Do you mean how often this alter comes out, or how often do I wake up in someone else's bed?"

Ok, blunt. Very blunt. "Uh, both I guess?" Wafi answered unsurely. He leans off of Kai, letting the other rest. "The altar is rare, very rare. He only is out at specific times or moods. And I don't sleep around unless it has something to do with another altar. So when it does happen, which is also rare, I still know what to do and how to act."

"You don't like… have an STD or something… right?" Yoshi asked. Hisoki cracked up laughing at the boy's seriousness, making the others laugh as well. "Genuine question!" Yoshi muttered, huffing. Isoki smiles. "No, I do not. He's a little more selective than that." Harley smiles. The stiffness in the room seemed to have evaporated quickly, smiles plaquing the circle. "Well since we're on this topic, I already know I'm right. You are sodom and a top." Wafi said affirmatively. Yoshi scoffed, shaking his head. "No way, you see how he acts sometimes? A total bottom. Maybe a defiant sub, a brat almost." The two were acting like HIsoki wasn't listening in amusement. They had forgotten he was even there.

"You know, you two could just ask me."Hisoki said, not even looking at the two bickering boys. "Or me." Mago jokes, chuckling. Yoshi turned to look at Hisoki. "Tell us! I wanna prepare myself!" Yoshi asked excitedly. HIsoki clicked his tongue. "Naw, I think I will let you guys keep guessing. It's more fun that way." Hisoki smiles up at them. Yoshi groans, flopping onto the ground. Mago smiles. "Oh, if only you knew. In my eyes I still believe that he has magical powers. He can definitely make all of you satisfied." Mago teased, nudging Hisoki's side.

"Mago, come on." Hisoki warns, eating the last bit of rice from his bowl. Mago scoffs, crossing his arms. Ẅhat? What did I do now? I'm speaking the honest truth." Mago says, a smile still on his face.

"They still are my students."

"Don't even fucking try that with me."

"What? They are."

"I was your student, and you decided to fuck me?"

"Mago, enough."

"Your point?"

Histoki stood from his seat, grabbing both his and everyone else's bowls that were empty. Leaving only Mago and Harley's. When Hisoki walked into the kitchen, Mago turned around giggling. "I am the encyclopedia of Hisoki. You wanna know something about him, ask me." Mago jokes, however Yoshi seems ready with a question. "How do you know if he's lying?"

Mago hums, thinking for a moment. "He doesn't really lie much. He's way more likely to just not say it." Mago gestures to the whole room. "Obviously. But uh, doesn't lie enough for my research team to get a final analysis and conclusion." Mago jokes. Harley didn't know if he should be in this conversation, or not, but he was curious.

"How would you know if Hisoki liked someone?"
