Atsushi was grown up in an orphanage where he was constantly bullied by both other children and the orphanage staff.

As a result, Atsushi developed an attitude of guardedness and mistrust of others due to his experiences. He was highly susceptible to being hurt both physically and emotionally, resulting in him putting up walls around himself in order to let anyone in.

Until he met Ryuunosuke who was his first love.

Ryuunosuke showed him kindness and understanding, defying the mistrust he had towards other people. This allowed Atsushi to slowly open up and learn to trust someone again, learning to love and be loved in return.

Atsushi was pinned against the table by the bullies and his wrists were taped. He was trying his best to get free, but it seemed impossible. He could see some other children were watching, but no one came to his aid as the bullies were clipping his hair.

Atsushi felt helpless and desperate with no one coming to his aid...

He was scared and humiliated and all he could do was wait until the bullies were done and hopefully someone would come to help him, but deep down inside, he knew no one would come...

Just like he expected, no one came to save him...

At that moment, Atsushi realized that he was alone in this situation and he had to get himself out of it somehow.

He tried to break free from the bullies, but it was futile. Finally, he stopped struggling and realized he needed to find another way to escape.

Meanwhile, the bullies were still busy with cutting his hair.

He began focusing on the tape, trying to loosen it with his fingers. As the bullies carelessly continued their taunts, Atsushi realized he could use his teeth to help free himself. He managed to bite through the tape, allowing himself to free one hand. With his freed hand, he started tearing away the rest of the tape and eventually he was freed from the bullies.

He ran to the bathroom and looked at the broken mirror. He had an uneven cut because of the bullies now... He gasped and blinked back the tears, trying to keep his emotions in check. Taking a deep breath he continued to look in the mirror, examining the mirror. His heart began to race as the tears spilled over and he clenched his fists.

His face had been the classroom joke for too many days in a row and the shattered reflection of himself only served as another painful reminder. He couldn't believe how cruel other kids could be. It made his heart ache. Not just for himself, but for all the other kids who have felt the effects of bullying.

A deep rage boiled within him and for the first time he decided to take a stand against the bullies. He was done with playing their games and he was determined to make them pay for what they had done to him.

He looked around the bathroom for something to use as a weapon and found a piece of broken glass. He picked it up and gripped it tightly in his hand. He then made his way back to the bullies and confronted them, brandishing his makeshift weapon.

The bullies were shocked and taken aback. They immediately apologized and begged for mercy. He stood his ground and refused to forgive them, instead telling them that if they ever hurt him again, they would have to face consequences.

The bullies backed away, shocked by his sudden show of courage. He had finally stood up to them and he would no longer be their victim.

From that day forward, the bullies stayed away from him and he was finally able to enjoy his high school experience without fear of them. He realized that sometimes you have to stand up for yourself and that no matter how scared you are, you can do it.

When Atsushi was 18, he was kicked out of the orphanage. He became homeless and had to resort to begging for money and food. He had no family and had to find a way to survive on his own.

One day he was noticed by a decent looking elderly couple. They wanted a child for years, but they hadn't one. They offered to take Atsushi in and house him until he was able to find a job and become self sufficient.

Atsushi gratefully accepted and the couple soon became like a family to him. With the help of the couple, Atsushi eventually managed to find a part-time job and enrolled in college where he met with Ryuunosuke.

He was finally able to build a life for himself and he was much happier.

Even if Ryuunosuke had his own struggles, he still did all that he could to make Atsushi smile. Slowly, Atsushi started to open up and allow himself to feel again. With Ryuunosuke, Atsushi was able to find the courage to create a brighter future.

Ryuu's warm presence and gentle words slowly opened the door that had shut itself since he was a child and helped him gradually come out of his shell.

Through Ryuunosuke's acceptance and kindness, Atsushi was finally able to open up to someone and show his feelings.

Ryuunosuke had played a major role in Atsushi's life, helping him achieve a level of confidence and independence he never knew was achievable. Their love could be described as a beautiful blossoming flower that began with understanding, acceptance and care and it grew into an inseparable bond that would keep on growing forever and ever.

Atsushi also became emotionally attached to Ryuunosuke and was willing to protect him. He was willing to go to great lengths to protect Ryuunosuke from danger and to ensure his safety.

Atsushi was even willing to sacrifice his own life to save Ryuunosuke and in the end his feelings for Ryuunosuke were strong enough that he would even go to the other side of the world with him.

He defended Ryuunosuke when he was criticized by others, even to the point of aggressively attacking those who said anything negative about him. Additionally, Atsushi was very understanding and comforting when Ryuunosuke had trouble coping with his own feelings and desires. He showed an unconditional love to Ryuunosuke and was always willing to help him in any way possible.

Yes, Atsushi was definitely emotionally attached to Ryuunosuke and was willing to do anything to protect him. He cared for his Ryuunosuke deeply and was determined to protect his lover from all of the dangers of the world.

Atsushi would often comfort Ryuunosuke when he was feeling down and be there for him when he was feeling lost and scared. Atsushi was really willing to put himself in harm's way to protect Ryuunosuke.
