'Pathetic, you'd really kill your best friend?' Kai smirked.

'N-No.' A girl said. 'I can't kill you.' She was trembling.

'Exactly see! You're just not right for this job!' He brought a closed hand to his cheek, 'Are you? Hero.'

Yamada squealed and hid her face, 'Scary!'

'Cut!' The school drama teacher yells, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

'Sorry...' She mumbled.

'It's okay Yamada, but you have to remember that Chisaki is only acting. It's not real.'

'Yeah, I would never hurt you, Yuri.' Kai sighed. 'We've been trying to film this scene for hours. I have to get home soon.' He shook his head. And for the first time after living with Pops for three weeks, going home didn't sound so bad.

Kai nodded, to show that he wasn't mad at Fatgum, gripping Hari's shirt. 'I don't wanna go back.' He muttered.

Hari stroked his cheek with his thumb. 'It's okay, it's okay. You're never going back to him. Never.'

Fatgum didn't think that he shouldn't be here, he felt like he should just let Hari handle this.

He took one last look at the two before deciding to just trust Kurono. He's known him for a while, longer than Fatgum has at least, and they're dating. So he's probably used to Kai having panic attacks like this. He walks out and lets Kurono take care of Kai.

'Hey, hey. Come on. Breathe for me olay Kai?' Hari whispered, he knows talking even at a normal volume would startle him. 'Hey, hey. It's okay, just breathe.' He whispered again.

Kai did as he was told, he took slow breaths, trying to calm down. Most bystanders would think that Kai was overreacting. Sure he was his father but it's not like it was long. Even if it was it was just a kiss, most parents do that don't they?

Kai really wasn't overreacting. If anything he was underreacting, because this wasn't the first time this had happened. He's kissed him like that before, usually three or four times a day.

They were 15 years apart, Terugo looked around 20 even now, and looked nothing alike. So he always got away with it, because people usually thought they were a couple.

Especially since Kai was mainly raised, female. He had to keep his hair long, he took medicine to make his voice more feminine, Terugo even tried getting him surgery for implants but Manticore talked him out of it.

If it weren't for Hari, most accurately if they were alone, he probably would've forced Kai to continue kissing him for another minute or two.

'Hari... Hari please.' He cried. Terugo brought back memories just seeing him, let alone the two kissing. 'Hari don't... Don't make me go back.' He clawed at his arm with his free hand.

'I won't.' Hari whispered, brushing hair out of his eyes, he realized it had gotten longer... He should probably cut it soon. 'I won't ever make or let you go back to him. Never, okay? I'll never let you go ever again.'

'Hari... Hari.' Kai just kept repeating Kurono's name. 'Hari.' He shut his eyes tightly. Hari put a hand on the back of his head, laying the both of them down on the couch.

Kai kept close to Hari as he whispered kind, comforting words to him. Kai was able to relax, once again listening to his lover's heartbeat. Soft, constant, he loved to listen to it. His breathing slowed and his heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

Heri was always so gentle with him. Hari loved him, Kurono always made sure to let Kai know. Kurono knows everything Kai has been through, and he never wanted him to feel that way again. He just wanted Kai to be happy. Slowly Kai fell asleep, Hari smiled, 'I love you, Kai.'
