My lord || ThomaTo

IV

Chapter Three (3)

(A/n: I literally cannot put into words the amount of times I laughed taking this photo it's the best one in my opinion, but enjoy this chapter. ⚠️ there will be self harm references in this chapter.)

AYATO POV:
He's going to be spending more time with her. My sister. I should be happy that he's there to cheer her up, but surely that's a bad thing? Won't it just make her fall even harder for him?

Maybe the reason he wanted to see her more is because he doesn't want to see me.

He doesn't actually love you, he'll call off the relationship soon enough.

Why would he love you, of all people?

He's probably just bored.

I sigh, and open the drawer in my desk. I haven't used a blade in ages. I take the blade out of the drawer and move my sleeve off my arm.

-Timeskip-

THOMA POV:
"Excuse me, Thoma, have you seen my brother leave his room?"

Ayaka's looking at me, she seems pretty concerned.

"Uh, come to think of it, I don't think I have, why?"

"Oh, no reason, it's just that he didn't come down for lunch."

That's weird, even for him.

"I'll go check it out, you can wait outside for me, I'll be there in a sec. Wait a second, isn't that Yoimiy-"

"BYEE THOMA!" Ayaka laughs, and runs outside to meet with a certain blonde haired girl.

I'm a little confused why Ayato hasn't come down at all, it feels a bit like babysitting a middy teenager that spends the whole day on their phone.

I walk up the stairs and I can't hear anything at all, from any room. I walk up to Ayato's room and knock on the door.

"My Lord? Are you there?"

There's no response.

"Ayato, please talk to me? I'm coming in-"

"No." He answers immediately.

"Ayato?? What's wrong? Is something the matter? Do you need something? Do you want anything?" I ask him.

He doesn't respond again, so I think he's playing some sort of game and use the spare key on his door.

"Thoma. Please don't come any closer."

He's at his desk and nothing seems to be off about him at first, but when I walk a little bit closer to him, I can see there's something pooling out across the table.

"Hey, My Lord, what's-"

It's blood. From him.

I run over to him and take his arm gently in my hands.

"Ayato! Why did you do this? Why didn't you tell me you were upset?! Please speak to me?"

It really hurts me too, seeing the person I love in pain.

"Thoma. It's fine, I'll deal with it myself, you weren't supposed to come here. Please leave Thoma, please.." He looks at me and tears start falling from his eyes.

"Hey! Ayato! It's fine, it's okay darling, everything's going to be okay." I say, he rests his head on my shoulder and I stroke his hair.

"Do you have bandages in here?" I ask him, and he nods and points towards the drawer.
