College Romance

A lot happened today, huh..?

WARNING!! Indication of sexual assault, indication of starving

Zan pulled a chair out of the dining room and in front of the drowsy looking Mozu.

"So... What happened?" He questioned, making Mozu stiffen up. Mozu looked away and covered his mouth, stifling a cough.

"Are you ok...?" Zan asked, his voice immediately becoming soft and worried.

Mozu cleared his throat and began. "You know that uh... Guy I told you about...?"

Zan's eyes widened. "What...? Zhinyu?" He questioned.

Mozu shivered at the name, he couldn't bare to even hear it. He nodded.

"That bastard!" Zan yelled, making Mozu whince.

Mozu looked back at Zan. "Zan... I already told you... I-I'm over what happened..." He mumbled, trying to sooth Zan. This statement only made him angrier; he was sick of Mozu always pretending everything was alright.

"Oh, yeah?" Zan started. "Is that why you flinch everytime someone even grazes you? Why you wince at loud noises and are uneasy about anything even remotely sexual?"

Mozu frowned. "Zan... It's trauma reaction... My mind is at ease, but my body and reflexes aren't... It's just... A human trait..."

Now it was Zan's turn to frown. "Mozu..." He started, seeing Mozu fiddle with his hair. "Are you sure...?" He asked.

Mozu sighed and nodded. "I promise, ok?"

Zan shook his head. "Ok... Now... Can you tell me how it happened..?" He asked.

Mozu looked away again, coughed a little, then began. "Well... After you left I got ready to go get groceries.. That's when I realized that I was out of bandages, so I would take the route to the store I go to get that stuff then I'd go to the grocery store..." Mozu started, picking at his bandages, whincing every now and then. "I was walking down the street when... He pulled me into an alley..."

"He..." Mozu froze, not knowing if he should tell Zan about the photo... He waited a moment before deciding he'd best tell him so he would be careful. "He pulled out a picture of you..." He mumbled.

Zan's eyes widened. "What...? Me? How does he know me?" He questioned.

Mozu shrugged. "I dunno how he got the picture, but... He said anyone I was close to... He'd hurt or... Make feel bad emotions 'er whatever." Zan scowled under his breath.

"That.... Ugh..." Zan started, but decided not to say what he was going to.

"A-anyways... He uhm... Pulled out a knife and... I think you get the rest..." Mozu finished, looking back at Zan.

Zan got up and walked into the kitchen. He needed to blow off some steam, so he looked in the trash and saw his cigarettes... And Mozu's breakfast?

"Mo... Have you eaten today?" He questioned.

Mozu stiffened up. After almost a year of getting skinny using... Dangerous methods he wasn't about to get caught now.

"No, I wasn't all that hungry at breakfast and uh..." He pointed to his picked at bandages. "A lot happened and I wasn't able to eat lunch."
