(This font is in the dream)

I woke up in the dreamworld again, surrounded by smoke. I sat up, looking around to see if there was anything. I moved around, and my foot hit something with a klunk of metal. A brightly colored stool rolled across the floor. A stool? Why a stool? Then I looked up.

Korekiyo was laying against the wall, no mask and wearing his olive suit, which was stained with his blood. The red liquid trickled from his mouth in small rivers, and he looked up at me and laughed. "Too weak to save me. Too weak to save anyone." He said, his voice ringing in my ears. "No." I groaned, placing both hands to my head. "No. No, please." His body rose up from the floor, still leaking blood as he walked towards me, limping from his leg. He walked up to me, smiling a bloody grin. With a sudden movement, he pushed me backwards, and I fell onto a bed. A bed? Why would- I was cut off as he climbed on top of me.

"K-K-Kiyo. What are you doing?" I asked as he pinned my hands above me and pulled off my shirt. "S-Stop. Kiyo, STOP." He covered my mouth with one hand, and used a piece of rope to pin my hands. "Kiyo. Please stop. Don't do this Kiyo." I said frantically. Ignoring my pleas, he said, "Oh, I can't wait to get a good look at you."

I woke up sobbing. The door to Kiyo's room opened and he walked in. "Horiuchi? Are you alright?" I took a moment to catch my breath. "Y-yes. I'm fine." "You're clearly not." He said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." I said. He shook his head. "You didn't. Is this what goes on for you?" I nodded. "It's just something I have a fear of. Having someone t-taking advantage of me. I hate it. And with you getting shot-" he cut me off. "Was it me? Did I try to take advantage of you?" I nodded again, shaking. "It was horrible. You'd just gotten shot, and you were in your suit and-and-and." I couldn't keep talking. "I'm sorry. I would never do that to you. I would never want to." He said. "Do you really love me? As in, really? Because I love you, and I don't want you to play me or anything." I asked. "I love you. I would never, ever try to do anything that will hurt you. I promise." He replied.

"Are you sure?" I said. "I'm sorry, I just don't want you to hurt me." "Again. I would never. And I'm sure of it as night following day."

Korekiyo POV

"I'm sorry." I said again. I walked over to him, wrapping my arms around him. "I would never, ever do something like that to you." I said. "I know." He said. "Will you stay with me?" He asked. "Just don't try anything. Or I will rip out your nerves." He said softly. I laughed. I climbed into his bed with him, and we lay on opposite sides, facing each other. He laughed, and wrapped his arms around me, and I pulled him into my chest. "Night, Kiyo." He said.

"Good night. Horiuchi."

Time skip: Morning

"Morning you two." A voice said. I opened my eyes to see Horiuchi's mother looking at us, with a smile on her face. "Morning, mom." Horiuchi said sleepily. He woke up, rubbing his eyes. His mom moved downstairs as he woke up, slipping out of bed. "So, um, I think your mother walked in while we were sleeping." I said. "You're joking, right?" He said, now suddenly wide awake. I shook my head. He quickly ran downstairs, me following in his wake. He sighed when he saw his mom making breakfast, and she turned and gave him a small smirk. "Mom, it's not what you think." Horiuchi said, his face flushing with embarrassment. She laughed.

"Oh, I know sweetie. It's just I didn't want to disturb you two." She said. I could feel my own face heat up as well. "I apologize, Mrs.Yoshiro-" she cut me off. "Nonsense, Korekiyo. I can tell how my son feels about you. And I can tell how you feel about it him. And I don't want to get in the way of that." She said, more seriously. Horiuchi flashed me a look that clearly read KILL ME. I laughed. "So, are you two going to be moving from your apartment to our place for a little while?" Mrs.Yoshiro said. I nodded.

"Well then, we should get you set up. I could have someone grab your things, Korekiyo." She said. "That would be good, thank you." I said, bowing to her. Soon, we were eating a delicious breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. I had unzipped my mask slightly, although I didn't take it off all the way. "Horiuchi, what's that on your arm?" His mother asked. His sleeve had slid up a bit, revealing the edge of a bandage. His face turned pale. "It's nothing. I, um, got grazed by a bullet. I'm fine." He said. "Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded. "I have something that could help." I offered, taking my dish to the sink. "Oh, you can leave it there, Korekiyo." Mrs.Yoshiro said. I nodded.

I reached over, and pulled Horiuchi to his feet. "I can help with that." I said. His face turned even more pale. "N-no. You don't need t-" I cut him off. "It will only take a minute." I said, walking upstairs with him.

Horiuchi POV

Oh, god. I don't want him to find out. Please don't let him find out. I prayed silently. He took me into the room and took out a small bottle of salve. "Now, if I can just unwrap this-" he fell silent at the sight of my cuts. "Horiuchi...what is this?" He asked, his voice deadly sweet. "It's-its nothing." I said, beginning to tremble. "Well then....why the HELL does it seem like I just found cuts in your arm?" He said, raising his voice. "N-no, Korekiyo. They, they aren't." I said quietly. I had never heard him swear before, and even if he did, never near me.

"Why? Why did you do this to yourself? What is happening that is so bad that you have to cut yourself?" He said. I couldn't take it. The yelling, the questioning, not anymore. "It's because of you!" I yelled. "It's because of you, dammit!" I roared, poking a finger into his chest. He looked so surprised that he let go of my other hand. "I couldn't and can't stand the fact of losing you!" I said. "I don't want to lose you, okay?" I said. "That doesn't mean you have to harm yourself!" He yelled back.

"Boys! What's going on?" My mom said. "I heard yelling-" I saw her eyes drift to the cuts on my arm, and then to us. "You don't have to harm yourself for my benefit!" He said. "I did it because I felt weak! I did it because I felt the pain of thinking I lost you! I don't want to feel like that again, especially after Yasari! I'm not letting anyone I love get shot to death like he did!" I yelled, tears forming in my eyes. "I did it because I love you! I love you, dammit! And I am not losing you. Not now, not ever! Not to some petty thug with a gun! I love you, and the reason I cut myself was because I wanted to take your pain away! I wanted to make sure you didn't die, and if I had to harm myself, then so fucking be it then!" I roared, beginning to sob.

Kiyo pulled me in close, as I sobbed, emptying my pain and sadness and anger out of me.
