Third person POV
When the man was just a boy, crawling around in that shithole city, it seemed God and love were always sold out when he went looking.
Flashback
The blond-haired boy groaned as the woman's red nails dug into his pale skin, leaving a trail of blood down his cheek.
"What did I say about mentioning that bastard!" The woman raged, eyes filled with disgust and anger.
"..."
Rin's POV
My legs make contact with the rocky ground, propelling myself forward on a playground swing.
"Mama, mama! Look! Look! Vroom vroom!!" A child laughs as he runs toward the playground, swinging his toy car in the air.
Sanzu's POV
"Shit," I curse, trying to remove the blood stains off my white gloves to no avail.
"Fuck it," I groan, tossing them in the trash before exiting the washroom only to find Rin helping a child. From the looks of it, he fell and broke his toy.
"Didn't think you liked kids?" I say, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I don't... they're loud and annoying. So full of energy... overall exhausting," she replies, turning around to face me.
"But... it's funny how strong they can be sometimes. They're able to make decisions that not even adults can..," she hums, fiddling with my tie.
"Strong huh?" I say, gently putting a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"Children's minds are immature, therefore they are more prone to sealing away their minds... locking up their hearts... because they have not yet tasted the joy of life, so they can afford to discard... because they have not yet understood the meaning of the word 'future', they can despair. And because of this unique ability, they're able to lock away the most fatal thing to us humans... emotions. And emotions make people weak... yet a child can easily discard it while adults just get trapped." She hums her gaze down on my tie.
Flashback
"Where's Rindou?" I question, looking up at Ran.
"Dunno? I thought he was with you," the boy replies.
"He forgot-," Before I could finish my sentence, our eyes widen simultaneously.
"Fuck, did he go alone? I told him to wait for me!" Ran shouts as we both run toward the house. Toward hell.
Ran's POV
BEEP BEEP BEEP! I groan as my alarm starts buzzing
"Ugh, shut up," I mutter, hitting it with a pillow and then proceeding to toss the covers over my face.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"Fuck!" I curse, getting up to pause the fucking alarm before faceplanting back onto the bed.
Flashback
Rin freezes at the door to the kitchen, causing me to look up past her... it's that woman. Slowly, I intertwined our hands, allowing her tense body to relax. My eyes trail back to the woman, this time to Rinnie as blood steeped down his cheek.
"Ugh... get the fuck out!" The woman curses, leaving the room with a loud BANG!
"What the fuck! How fucking dare-," I muttered, clenching my fists before Rin stops me by squeezing my hand.
"Rindou's hurt...," she whispers before running off to him.
Third person POV
Flashback
The girl's hand trembles as she gently applies ointment to the boy's wound.
"I'm fine," the boy hums, softly patting her on the head as the eldest clenches his fists in anger.
All three were powerless. Powerless in front of the almighty adults. Powerless in front of that woman.
Time skip ~~ At one of Bonten's clubs
Rindou's POV
I grimace at the bold red nails of the waitress as she winks seductively at me.
"Come on man, lighten up!" Koko nudges to which I deadpan.
"Bro! Stop the frown!" Ran exclaims, using his fingers to force a smile on my face.
"Great! Now just keep it like that!" He grins.
Azumi's POV
"Uhm... this is a bad idea," I say, pulling down on my dress.
"You mean great idea! Now come on, stop fiddling with your dress. You look hot!" Reina grins, dragging me inside the club.
"There's... a lot of people," I remark, taking a seat at the bar counter.
"Clubs are meant for socializing of course there's a lot of people," she hums, signaling the bartender for a drink.
Sanzu's POV
"Dude what the fuck!" I curse as Ran spits his drink all over my face.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD!" He exclaims while coughing.
"The fuck is wrong with you?" I grimace, wiping off the sticky alcohol.
"... Fuck... Fuck fuck fuck!" Ran groans, rubbing his hands through his hair to which I raise an eyebrow.
"9 o'clock, the pinkish-blond," he mutters as we both turn our attention to the person in question.
