I put my feet on the table and take the cup of tea in my hands. It sucks that while on duty we cannot have even a sip of beer. Those responsible for our food supplies put some shit for us to eat, but no drop of alcohol ever enters our kitchen. I tried smuggling it in, but just got in trouble for that and got Kaoru angry with me.
Shinya tries reading some book. Die looks bored. He just browses through the documents scattered on the table, but I don’t think he even sees anything. Just Toshiya seems to be the only one who’s remotely OK with waiting. He also has a cup of tea and just stares out the window, watching the scenery. He throws a disapproving look at my feet on the table, but doesn’t say anything.
All of us from time to time glance at the Area Control Device. That’s what we call a little computer that shows the landscape around our spaceship so that we could watch out for possible threats in this new planet. But so far it’s just us. Seems like a very barren land – barely any plants, lots of rocks and some water. It’s possible that there could be life forms here, but the initial scan didn’t come up with any results.
There’s also a two-way radio transceiver on the table, but in order to save the energy, we can only contact each other in an emergency. So it’s better that we don’t hear from Kaoru until he gets back himself.
“Kaoru should be back in an hour already” Die says and leans back in his chair.
“I guess we already know what he’s gonna say – there’s nothing here and we can finally go back home to Earth” Toshiya says, looking from his cup at Die.
“Man, I can’t wait to go home!” Die smiles broadly. “I’m dying to go to a bar and have all the beer I can choke down!”
Toshiya laughs and even Shinya smiles, lifting his eyes from the book for a moment.
“What’s gotten into you, Kyo?” Die asks. “Why so silent?”
I glance at him, then at the Area Control Device.
“Don’t worry, Kaoru will be fine. This planet is a waste of time.”
“You really think so?” I ask.
“Don’t you think so, Kyo?” Shinya asks, looking at me now.
I don’t answer immediately. I look out the window, then at the device again.
“I’m not sure.”
All three of them look at me now curiously and with a little bit of worry in their eyes.
“I thought after Kaoru is back we’ll be going home” Shinya says slowly.
I shake my head.
“I’ll do my round after Kaoru gets back” I say assuredly.
“Are you serious?” Toshiya asks, clearly surprised.
I nod.
“Kyo, this will be a waste of time!” Die looks scandalized.
“There’s something weird about this planet… I can’t explain, but I think there might be some life forms here after all.”
“Even if the devices don’t detect anything? Even if Kaoru comes back saying there’s not a living soul here?” Shinya asks.
“Don’t we want to be 100% certain that that’s the case?” I ask.
The silence is a firm ‘yes’ to my question.
“Believe me, I want to go home myself, but nobody will ever come back to check this planet after we depart, so we have to be completely sure this is not the place they are hiding.”
Shinya nods slowly.
“OK, Kyo, but it would not be the first time we leave a planet after Kaoru does his initial procedure. What makes this planet different that you want to waste additional 24 hours?”
“It’s just that…” for the first time I find it hard to explain my reasons, because they are not based entirely on scientific evidence. “This planet has oxygen, it has water, it has plants, but it seems that there aren’t any living beings, just some small insects. I find it hard to believe. How come there aren’t even any rodents or birds?”
“Planets are different, Kyo” Die reasons. “We’ve seen many strange things.”
“Yeah, we did. And it’s either this planet really has no life whatsoever or there’s something about it or about those kidnappers that prevents our devices from detecting them.”
I fall silent and sip tea from my cup.
“So you’re still going, even if Kaoru will come back with negative results, finding no aliens with the kidnapped humans?” Toshiya asks.
I just nod.
After a moment of silence Die sighs so exaggeratedly, that I almost laugh. He’s already bored out of his mind and the prospect of spending 24 more hours drives him mad.
“Kaoru won’t be happy to hear that” he says.
“Who cares what Kaoru thinks!” I shot back.
“You do?” Toshiya says, amused.
“It’s just my job and I’m not going to do a sloppy job just because all of you are bored” I say. “I have to make sure I’m wrong about my theory. Then we’ll be able to go back home.”
“Why are you so anal about you job, Kyo? You hate it anyways” Die says.
“This job gives me home and food – something you took for granted since you were born” I say, malice sipping out through my every word.
“I thought Kaoru gave you all of that” Die shots back.
“Screw Kaoru!”
“I thought you did just that a few days ago” Die says with a smirk on his lips.
I guess I just can’t win today.
“Why are you still so angry with Kaoru?” Shinya asks. “I thought you two made up already.”
“We did.”
“So what’s the problem?”
I keep silent for a moment, looking at the liquid in my cup. These things are so very private. But I have nobody else to talk to. Those three are my only friends. They and Kaoru are all I’ve got.
And sometimes you can’t go on keeping everything bottled up inside for too long.
“I think all of what we’re doing is just a waste of time anyways. Humans are going to get extinct with time. Even if we stop these kidnappings, the weather is getting colder and colder every year. With time, the Earth will be unsuitable for living. Everything will freeze to death and people will all die. I don’t see any reason for wasting our lives looking for something that is killing humans while all of us are slowly going to the direction of extinction anyway.”
Silence is thick and heavy between us now.
Toshiya looks quite disturbed hearing all of that, Shinya looks like he wants to argue and Die just looks plainly uncomfortable – he’s not one for those philosophical type of guys anyways.
“You mean,” Shinya starts slowly, “that you want Kaoru to quit all of this, move in with you and fuck you every night. That would be a completely meaningful existence for you.”
“That’s just how you put it” I’m not taken aback even slightly by this crude comment. “You have your loving little family, your friends, your lover, you already have a normal happy life. I’ve lived on the street until I met Kaoru and I was almost seventeen by that time. Why wouldn’t I wish for a normal life with my lover instead of all of this?”
“He has a point” Die says, looking at Shinya.
Shinya sighs heavily, looking too tired to argue. He already knows that if it’s me, then the case is lost. I can be a stubborn bastard if I put my mind to it. And I usually do.
“The thing is, it’s not going to change” Shinya says. “Whether you want it or not, Kaoru’s dream is to catch whoever or whatever is kidnapping humans and he won’t settle down until it’s done. Though I can understand why that makes you angry, Kyo.”
I huff angrily, but I know Shinya’s right. And that’s exactly what makes my life miserable. That’s the only thing that’s wrong with my life now, because I have everything else I ever wanted.
I only need Kaoru settling down with me and living happily ever after.
The fact that it’s not going to happen until we catch those bastards makes me angry and miserable. Because until then me and Kaoru for the rest of the world are just two very close friends, but not lovers.
Never lovers.
“All I want is a normal life with Kaoru” I say silently. “I dream of waking up with him, going for breakfast together, going out together, not caring who saw us, not sneaking into Kaoru’s room at night for a quick fuck. Not having to deal with Kaoru pretending I don’t exist sometimes. I wish we could just be together. And Kaoru refuses to give all of that to me until we catch something we don’t even know how it looks like.”
I look down at my hands.
“I don’t even know why I’m telling you all of this” I murmured.
I feel Die’s heavy hand descend on my shoulder.
“That’s what friends are for. Even if sometimes they can be a pain in the ass.”
I snigger.
“Sorry, Die, but I’m still doing my round.”
“Yeah, well… just be quick!”
We keep up the conversation for some time, then have a snack when finally Kaoru returns. When he enters the control room, I immediately stand up, already ready to leave, a little bag with the necessary equipment and water with food in my hands.
Kaoru raises his eyebrows in question.
“Kyo, this planet is empty” he says.
“I want to make sure it really is.”
Kaoru drops his bag on the floor and looks at me.
“If you think it’s necessary…”
I nod. Kaoru rewards me with a tired, but gentle smile. At least he doesn’t feel there’s a need to pretend we’re not together in front of our friends.
I go up to him and kiss him on the lips gently. I can taste his scent so clearly. For a moment I just let myself get lost in the feeling of closeness with him. But then Kaoru pulls back slightly and I open my eyes.
“Let’s not waste more time than necessary, Kyo” Kaoru chuckles. I smirk at him and quickly steal one more kiss, then head towards the exit.
I don’t look back at my friends, because I feel a little embarrassed for making out with Kaoru in front of them. I just wave my hand shortly to say goodbye.
“Bye, Kyo” I hear the union of three voices behind me.
I step out of the door and head forward. I’ve got 24 hours of work ahead of me.

***
I only remember that for some reason I stopped at Starbucks near the Army Flats where I lived just to get a cup of hot drink and a snack. There wasn’t much to eat at home and I just thought I’d get something from café.
It was summer and there wasn’t much snow around. It still was something around -3C during the day, but it was the warmest it would get, so I just lingered around outside the Starbucks, put my coffee on the table outside and slowly lit a cigarette.
The sun was already setting down, but it still was bright. It really was a calm and beautiful evening.
Somewhere between finishing a cigarette and opening my sandwich to eat, I noticed a boy watching me. At first he didn’t see I noticed him. I saw how carefully and jealously he followed my hand with the sandwich in it as if he hadn’t had a bite in days. When I took a closer look at him, I figured that perhaps he really didn’t. He looked as if he was homeless.
Soon though he noticed that I saw him and got startled for a second, half turning, as if considering to run away. But I smiled a little and he hesitated. He looked at the food in my hand again.
I finished my coffee in a few more quick gulps and threw the cup away.
“Wait here!” I said to him rather loudly, even though he was standing just some ten meters away from me. “Just don’t go!”
I quickly went back inside and bought two big sandwiches with chicken and a big cup of hot chocolate. When I hurried outside, he was still standing there, looking rather uncomfortable and unsure.
I lifted my hand with the food in it and showed him, motioning with my head for him to come over.
He hesitated, but only for a second, I guess his hunger made decisions for him. He came over to me and I handed him the food and the drink. And he dug in. The two sandwiches disappeared very quickly and it seemed as if he only breathed easier when he threw the wrappings away and took a big mouthful of hot chocolate.
“Thank you” he said silently, not looking me in the eyes.
“You’re welcome.”
I watched him drink and wondered why all of a sudden I decided to be so kind. It’s not like he was the first homeless boy I’ve ever seen. There were hundreds of homeless people in the streets and I never before cared for any of them. They were unlucky enough to end up in a gutter and it was their problem. I had my life and if I found myself in the street starving, no one would give me a helping hand.
So why this boy was any different?
I looked at his short, unevenly cut black hair, his big dark eyes, his prominent cheekbones and bony fingers, wrapped around the cup. He was dressed in dirty rags that weren’t warm enough for this weather, but even underneath the clothes I could see his smallish handsome frame.
If I would have met him in some other place and under other circumstances, and if he wouldn’t be underage, he’d be someone I’d fancy.
“How old are you?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking.
“Almost seventeen.”
“Seventeen? Really? You look much younger!”
“I get that a lot” he smiled cheekily, then fidgeted uncomfortably, lowering the now empty cup. “Thanks a lot…”
“You’re welcome.”
For a moment we both had nothing to say and he hesitated, turning around as if wanting to already go.
“Do you have where to sleep tonight?” I asked without thinking. I didn’t know him, he looked boyish and helpless, but for all I knew he might have been a thief, somewhat dangerous, or have friends who looked over him and made their living by robbing and killing people by luring them with this boy’s innocent looks. I certainly shouldn’t even be considering anything more than giving him something to eat.
He shook his head slowly, and then stopped.
“Well… I just sleep over there, in the sewers, under the water heating pipes – it’s warm down there.”
I felt an unpleasant knot rise in my throat.
“You can sleep over at my place tonight. If you want to.”
He looked at me surprised, then suddenly his face changed as if realization hit him.
“Ahh… umm…” he fidgeted, not wanting to look me in the eyes. “I don’t do that kind of stuff for shelter and food…” he finally said.
“What kind of stuff?”
The look he gave me made me feel really stupid for a moment until it dawned on me what kind of stuff he had in mind. I blushed very slightly from embarrassment.
“You misunderstood me, I don’t want… you know, that from you. I was just suggesting a place for you to crash tonight.”
“Why?”
He looked at me suspiciously.
“Do you often take homeless people to your place?”
I shook my head curtly.
“I just… Well, it’s up to you, it’s not like I’m going to beg” I said, a little offended by his mistrust in me, even though he had all the right not to trust me, a complete stranger.
I turned around and started walking away a little relieved he refused my offer. But suddenly he caught up with me.
“I’ll go with you” he said. “If the offer is still on, that is.”
“Yeah” I said, now not really sure myself if I still wanted to do that. He was dirty, he smelled bad and people might see that I took back to my room a young boy for a night. It’s wasn’t going to look good. He was pretty, but I didn’t think that was enough of a reward for the trouble I might get because of him. But I guessed it was too late now.
We slowly went to my place and, fortunately, didn’t meet anyone on the way. I ushered him inside and locked the door behind us. When I turned, I saw him looking at his feet, feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed. He noticed how in a hurry I was and he knew that I didn’t want to be seen with him. And immediately I felt pity for him.
How would I feel to know somebody was ashamed of me just because I was unlucky enough not to have home and food.
“You know what, go take a shower. I’ll give you some of my clothes and then we can watch TV if you want, have a drink.”
He nodded and I showed him the way.
When he reappeared from the shower, dressed in my jeans and a t-shirt, he looked much more handsome when all the dirt and smell was washed off him. And I suddenly felt a need to own him, to fuck him.
Maybe after all he was right and my intentions weren’t purely noble.
He sat next to me and smiled slightly. And I forced myself not to think any indecent thoughts. Especially about somebody not yet even seventeen.
“Shower was heavenly.”
“Glad to hear that. By the way, I’m Kaoru.”
“Kyo.”
We got drunk and got talking that night. He told me a lot of things. He opened up because never before anyone showed any interest in his life story. It was simple – he was an orphan, when he turned twelve, the orphanage no longer got money for him, so he, as many others, was thrown out in the street. He stole food and clothing and slept wherever he could. Spent most of his days fighting for his life in cold and starvation. Never had any friends. Never celebrated his birthday. Learned the hardest way – from his own mistakes. Learned not to trust anyone. Barely escaped rape four times just out of pure luck, but had to blow four guys the fifth time. Since then doesn’t get lured to stay over at someone’s place that easily anymore, even if he was freezing and desperate for food.
It was a sad story.
And something inside me wanted to protect him. Something inside me didn’t even consider letting him go out in the street alone ever again. I let him stay in my flat, enrolled him in army’s school where he with time trained to be a perfect soldier and found him a part-time job. By the time he finished training we already were lovers, sharing everything, though only three of my friends knew about that.
Kyo fell for me so bad. And a part of me loved to posses him in all ways possible.
With time he gained a reputation and no longer needed my support. But despite that he never discarded me. On the contrary, the more independent he became, the more afraid of losing me he felt.
I never knew that on the day I bought him food I’d get him for my whole life.
It was the best bargain I ever made.

***
Die and Toshiya were sleeping by the time the fourteenth hour since Kyo’s departure passed. His usual routine was to go as far as possible during the first twelve hours and then get back during the next twelve. So by now Kyo would be already coming back and as he haven’t contacted them, that meant he didn’t find anything.
“I thought it would be a waste of time” Kaoru says, not managing to keep his thoughts to himself any longer.
“At least now we are completely sure” Shinya says. He looks sleepy, but his and Kaoru’s shift hasn’t ended yet. They still have an hour to go and then Toshiya and Die will swap, letting the two of them go to sleep for some nine hours.
Kaoru takes out a cigarette and lights it up despite Shinya’s clear disapproving look. Usually nobody smoked inside the spaceship when they were actually not in space.
“Seriously, Shinya, you’re missing out a lot” Kaoru laughs.
“I doubt it. At least I’m not afraid to get cancer while sm---” Shinya suddenly falls silent as the radio transceiver on the table suddenly comes to life and Kyo’s muffled voice reaches their ears.
“Kaoru? Kaoru, do you hear me?”
Kyo’s voice is silent, rushed and scared. And that on its own is scaring, because nothing can scare Kyo so easily.
Kaoru grabs the radio transceiver quickly, forgetting his cigarette.
“Kyo? I’m here! Speak to me! What’s wrong?”
For a moment there can only be heard some shuffling sounds and a lot of background noise, but finally Kyo’s voice reappears.
“I found them.”
For a moment neither Kaoru nor Shinya react, they just stare in disbelief at the radio transceiver.
“Kaoru?” something in Kyo’s voice makes Kaoru’s skin grow cold suddenly.
“I’m here, Kyo” he reassures.
“I’m cornered, Kaoru.”
Kyo sounds so small all of a sudden. A clear note of fear and urgency is evident in his voice.
“I’m stuck in the ravine and it’s a dead end. And they’re all coming this way.”
Kaoru grips the radio transceiver as if he could squeeze himself through it and appear next to Kyo.
“Kaoru?”
“Just hide, Kyo! Hide anywhere you can!” Kaoru tries not to scream, so that he wouldn’t give away Kyo to those things, but it’s so hard to do. Kyo’s there, all alone, thirteen hours away from him, at dusk.
Kyo was in danger. And this thought alone made Kaoru go mad with fear and pain.
“I can’t!” Kyo whispers back urgently, sounding scared. ‘There’s no rock bigger than my feet, no cave, no hole no nothing! Kaoru, please, help me! Please, find me wherever they will take me and come to get me!”
Those words make Kaoru freeze to the spot yet again, unexplainable horror grips his whole being. He felt as if he himself was being put on a death row.
“Kyo, take the tracking device and put it in your underwear! We will track you down and we will get you back!” he hurriedly whispers back, already standing up.
Shinya, shocked in disbelieve, was already sending a message to the control group on Earth informing them their exact coordinates and that they might have finally found those bastards. In case something would happen to all of them, the army on Earth would know where to go to save the humans from being kidnapped.
“Done that already!” Kyo whispers back.
The fact that he is so scared is more than worrying. It was hard to scare Kyo, he was one of those cold-hearted bastards that were made of stone. And now Kyo was scared to death.
“I can’t talk anymore, they’re almost here” Kyo says, his voice sounding pleading and desperate.
“We’re on our way, Kyo! We will get you, just stay alive – don’t provoke them, be obedient, be invisible, stay alive and we will get you!”
“I love you, Kaoru” Kyo whispers. The radio transceiver crackles, a scream rips through and then it all goes dead silent.
For a moment Kaoru just stares, pure horror and panic written all over his face.
Then he suddenly turns around opening his mouth for a scream, but Die and Toshiya are already here, and from the looks on their faces Kaoru knew they didn’t need to be told anything.
It takes them just another three minutes to gather all the essential things they need – the emergency bags with guns, water, some food and essential survival equipment – ant they are on their way, running after Shinya who has the tracking device in his hands.
A little blue dot is beeping on the screen, indicating Kyo’s location and Shinya easily finds his way leading to it.
The only worrying thing is that the tracking device that Kyo said he put in his underwear was staying in the same place and not moving. As if waiting for them to catch up.
And it will be twelve hours until they will finally catch up.
