Katsuki

Chapter 9

Masaru walks toward him, surprised by the noise and going to check what it was. His uniform is already covered in flour and dough, brown eyes staring at him though glasses. The man's eyebrows rise in surprise, making his way to Katsuki and the boy he is carrying.

"Katsuki-?"

The blonde loudly groans, eyebrows still furrowed, and face turned into a glare as he goes to rush up the stairs. He yells loud enough for the man to hear him, not turning back as he focuses on getting up the stairs quick and careful.

"Get me some medicine old man! Fucking step on it!"

He doesnt see the rest of Masaru's reaction, but hears the man quickly rush away, heavy footsteps hard to miss. He kicks the door upstairs open, going down the small hall and slamming into his room.

His side is definitely hurting, but not as much as his arms. Once he gets into his room, he drops the boy onto his bed. He slightly bounces, but that still doesnt wake him up. Katsuki stretches his back, grumbling slightly.

The boy's eyes are tightly shut, his nose crinkled and jaw tightening. Now Katsuki has more time to get a better look at him. The dark green jacket is definitely big, bellowing out around him. He is wearing a black shirt that is way too tight.

All of the clothes are torn, ragged, and dirty, just like the boy's actual body. The only thing that isn't a complete mess is the red shoes the boy is wearing. Bright and looking like they were just bought yesterday.

His searching is interrupted when Masaru comes into the room, a small glass bottle in his big hands. The bottle is full about halfway, the liquid transparent. The man glances at Katsuki and then the boy, stepping closer to him.

The boy groans, almost curling up. He opens his eyes slightly, though they look glazed over. His breathing is sharp and quick, making his chest rise and fall over and over.

"You need medicine fast. This curse is spreading pretty quickly kid."

"You don't think i know that?"

"Don't get pissed off at me brat, i fucking told you to take it easy."

Masaru lifts up the boy's head, putting the bottle to his mouth and making him drink it. Katsuki and his father are unaware of the conversation going on between the boy and a mysterious other voice.

The boy swallows the medicine, and right when he does, his body begins to glow. The glowing lights up the many charms and curses on his body, a small gust of warm wind blowing out towards Katsuki and Masaru.

His hair flows up because of the wind, his breathing steady again. He closes his eyes.

"I can't move, my body is too sluggish. I can't rest, the more time i waste here the more time they will have to-"
