How to Tame a Demon [BxB]

Ch. 7 - Possession

Hey yall!  Long time no see.  I just wanted to start out by saying how sorry I am for not updating this for weeks.  Finals hit me hard, completely destroying my motivation for anything.  It sucked.  I would try to write and nothing good would happen.  I kept deleting and retyping everything and I finally think I have something I'm proud of.  It is late at night so there might be a few mistakes I didn't catch while editing.  If you spot one that crucially needs fixed, don't hesitate to point it out and I'll fix it.

Hunter's eyes felt sewn shut.  No matter how hard he tried to open them, he failed to lift them up.  He tried to move his arm but it felt incredibly heavy.

"What the..."  he whispered in his mind.  "Zekaj?"

There was no response.

Hunter started to get worried, where was Zekaj, and why was he so weak?  And what was his back against and why was something wrapped around his waist?

His eyes started to fight against the heaviness and he could just make out the outline of his room.  His vision continued to blur out until the room was pretty clear.  The early morning sun shined all over the room, the shades on his windows keeping most of the light out. 

He looked down and saw gray arms wrapped around his waist.  They obviously belonged to Zekaj.

"Zekaj?"  Hunter said, his mouth completely dry.

Suddenly, something smacked into the back of his head, and a curse word was said.

"Hunter, are you alright?"  Zekaj said, "I didn't mean to hit you. Haha."  He laughed, awkwardly.  Zekaj had jumped the moment he heard his name, smacking his head into the back of Hunter's head.

"Just tired."  He answered honestly, holding onto Zekaj's arms.  "Uh, what happened?"  He couldn't remember ever coming home, only the beating he took in the hallway.

Zekaj didn't reply, causing Hunter to turn around and back up on the bed.  He was met with a very guilty looking Zekaj.

"Zekaj..." Hunter whispered.

"It was nothing bad!  I swear!."  Zekaj defended himself.  "I was pissed!  I freaked out and got enraged and-"

"Did you kill them?"  Hunter exclaimed.

"No! Gods no!  You'd never forgive me if I did that.  I only scared the shit out of them."  He paused.  "A lot."

"Oh, that's not... as bad."  Hunter whispered, holding his head.  It still hurt a bit.

"There's more."  Zekaj whispered.  He didn't want to tell Hunter about him taking control of his body.

"What?" Hunter asked.

"Itookcontrolofyourbody." Zekaj quickly said.

"Zekaj."  Hunter heard none of that.

"I took control of your body!  You were knocked out but I wasn't and I don't know how but suddenly I was in control."   Zekaj did not want this to ruin their friendship.  If Hunter decided their contract was up he would be whisked away back to hell, and that was the last thing he wanted.

Hunter didn't know how to respond to that.  On one hand, he was pissed Zekaj took control of him.  On the other hand, he was alright with it since he was just defending them.  But he couldn't help but think that Zekaj might have left some details out.  He trusted Zekaj with his life, but he couldn't help but wonder.

"Oh."  Was all Hunter managed to say.

"Please don't hate me."  Zekaj said, looking down and grabbing Hunter's hands.  He rubbed his thumb along the top of them.  "I don't want to go back, I can't go back Hunter."
