LIAR

a leaper

midnight...it was cold and refreshing to be outside. Masayuki knew the dangers of staying out late, but that was his type of fun. Always seeking opportunities to seek that thrill, the action he misses from juvie. He wonders around aimlessly. Hoping the wind guides him as he walks on this starry night. His hands were in his pockets and his oversized jacket that Hanma gave him when he was cold the other day.

He was fully unaware of the mysterious boy waiting for his que.

He wasn't paying attention to his surrounding and he ended up bumping into someone. "Sorry." Was all he said until the person he bumped into grabs him. He looks back and saw him crying. Yuki just shrugged and started walking again. "W-Wait...! Please!" Yuki sighed and just stared at the person in front of him. "B-By any chance, are you Yuki...?!"

The young boy tears were still noticeable even when it was dark, Yuki didn't say anything and just stared at the boy. He was obviously fake crying, but who was he to care for that crying, he wanted to know what his game. "I'm a...a big fan of you!" Yuki normally doesn't have fans, he had followers. He found this boy very interesting, what a cunning boy. "Is that so...then let me ask you something." Yuki just stared at the face in front of him, they were only inches apart. "Why are you a fan of me? I mean I kill people for fun."

"That doesn't matter at all..." The younger whispers under his breath while staring at the ground. He couldn't see his savior alive and even talking to him.

"I see... what's your name?" Yuki smiled and move away from them. "Kazuki Haruki!" He smiles brightly almost like he gotten candy from someone. Yuki ruffles the younger's hair and left him in the dark. "See ya next time." Yuki knew the other would stalk him until their next encounter. Haruki stares at Yuki, he finally realizes that something was off. His Yuki would never leave a child in the dark, what was different know?

Haruki frowns, who the hell is messing with the timeline. He just gotten here a few days ago, there must be another leaper. He glares at the floor in anger, his plans on saving his brother will have to wait until he finds that pest messing with his plans.

"Yuki...what should I do." Haruki hallucinates his version of his brother. Yuki smiles but doesn't say anything, Haruki could only stare in amazement. "Don't worry brother, we'll be a happy family again. No one will ever mess with us again."

Masayuki and Haruki. They were regular people who had a dark past. Haruki was different, is what his family would say. He always had dark thoughts, even in family events. His parents took him to many doctors but nothing changed his interests.

But that change when his obsession came into his light, Masayuki. He was so beautiful, almost unreal for him to be alive on earth. Haruki flushed watching the older smile at him, he was so gentle. "poor child, it's way too dark for you roaming the streets." Haruki remembers those words so vividly, always repeating them in his head.

But he died.

His only light had died tragically by the hands of Mikey, Haruki hates him. He took away his brother. He was the reason Yuki was suffering so much. Why everyday he was living in fear knowing he was still out there looking for him.

He wanted revenge, why would his own blood relative even kill someone as gentle and kind as Yuki. "don't worry yuki, i'll find a way for us to be together again...forever." Haruki returns back into his dark nature. Watching flesh go red even rotten. Killing came so natural for him, it was so easy. He was never caught, he wasn't even suspected for any of his crimes.

Haruki looks down at his necklace as he brings himself from reality. A little fox, Yuki would always say that he resembles a fox. Smiling he stared at the spot Yuki was, and turns to leave ready to find the other leaper.

"No matter what happens, we must be together. I will do anything for you. If someone gets in the way, I'll deal with them."

—————

Yuki thought about that weird kid he met, he was obviously trying to gain his attention. It was like he has met him before but he would clearly remember someone like that boy. He sighs thinking about needing a cigarette, what a night.

He shook his head and went to Kazutora place, he notice how close he was. It wasn't new that Yuki would spend time with the other even having his own key to Kazutora's place. Trusting that the other will never do anything wrong to him.

In the morning, the duo did their daily walks around the neighborhood. Laughing at some kids who were running butt naked. "Oh god, I would pay the person who ever made them do this." Yuki was trying to breathe as he was losing air. "I-I'm dying, I can't believe we saw this."

Yuki recorded the whole thing just to show Hanma that video. Knowing him, he would laugh till he piss his pants. He would like to see that, humiliate the living shit out of the taller. Grinning he saves the video and tucks his phone away from his view.

After calming down, they decided to walk to the beach. "Oh yea, I found out I have a fan." Yuki look unbothered while he daze at the sea. Kazutora looks around and stoped. "What!?!"

"I know, that sounds so fake." Yuki chuckles but felt pleased. For some odd reason, he felt like he needed to protect the younger. It's been too long since he had a bad feeling about something, not since that day. "Really?! Jeez you're getting popular now." Yuki sighed and smiled at Kazutora. "Don't act like a baby, Kazu. I'm your biggest fan." Without realizing it, Kazutora was blushing.

Yuki wasn't naive. He knows that the other had a different kind of affection towards him. He knew how differently Kazutora would treat people and then him. Yuki didn't want to give him false hope so he always ignored his obvious crushing and just treated him like a brother. He wasn't one to love, rather just spend with someone for a day and going back to strangers.

Kazutora just stared at him hopelessly, Yuki was perfect. He didn't understand why people dislike him. He took the blame for him, even though he didn't kill Shinichiro. He was obsessive towards Yuki, wanted to know everything about him. He was hopelessly in love with him.

Suddenly a ring tone was heard.

Yuki took out his phone and saw the number, to his surprise it's someone he hadn't talk with in a really long time. So long that the last time they've talked was when they were still small kids.

He didn't bother to answer the phone, he chuckles as he puts the phone away letting it ring until it stopped. "Who was it." Kazutora was curious about who called his friend, he wanted to spend more time with him since they couldn't because Yuki was in juvie. "No one important to me." Kazutora didn't understand why he was hiding this information from him but decided not to say anything it wasn't his business so he'll just believe it.

"I'll get going, see ya later Kazutora." Yuki waves as he lights another cigarette.

Yuki was finally at the park, many memories came flying to him. He saw a familiar person standing with his phone on his hand. He frowns and walks toward the person with an unreadable expression.

"Akashi." Yuki called out, the person lifted their head and saw him, the boy he hasn't seen in years. "Masayuki, you came." The person hugged him but was stopped, Yuki look bored watching the other trying his best. "Sanzu it's been a while..." Haruchiyo frowned since that wasn't actually his real name, he only did it to hide his identity. But his Yuki would never let that change his way of calling him.

"It has been Masayuki..." Haruchiyo said looking at the Yuki who was staring at him with curious eyes.

From a near distance, Haruki followed Yuki towards the park. He saw the tension between the two, he smiles knowing there was nothing the other can do to gain Yuki's trust.

"Don't call me that anymore, I don't want any ties with that family." Yuki puffs out smoke as he smirks at Sanzu. He wanted to cry, why did he abandon him when he needed him the most, but then again he hid those feelings and promised himself to never beg for forgiveness from them again. "Stop that...what happened to you, what happened to my sweet boy." Sanzu watches a different person in front of him grin like a maniac.

"Grow up Sanzu, everyone changes. I just so happened to find my people, this is who I'm really am." Yuki watches the other carefully and slowly move his head. "Kurokawa Yuki, remember that." Sanzu watches his childhood friend leave him behind, why was everything falling apart.
