Love And Ashes

Chapter Six

They both laid in the dark, sanemi checking his phome- but it was dead, so he couldn't even use his flash.

And for some reason he felt to nervous to ask giyuu to turn on the light.. why? Why was he like this?

They sat in silence for about 30 minutes before giyuu spoke, slightly startling sanemi. They couldn't see eachother, but sanemi could tell giyuu was still facing the wall.

"Are you alright?" Giyuu finally asked, his voice soft in the pitch blackless swallowing the room.

"What-?"
"You're afraid of the dark, are you not? Are you alright?"

Giyuus voice had grown slightly firmer- even if he was still mad at sanemi he didn't want to scare him half to death or use his fear against him.

"I- I uh.. I'm.. y-yeah.. I'm scared.." sanemi said, quickly looking to the side, embarrassed over the situation.

Giyuu sat up, reaching over and turning on the lamp, the room getting lit in a warm glow.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" Giyuu asked, now looking at sanemi, holding a strong and firm glare.

"I- uhm.. that's a good question.." sanemi finally said, not really wanting to say the truth.

Giyuu just stared at sanemi, causing sanemi to look away,

"Okay, what the fuck? You've been acting like a freak all night-! What the hell is going on with you?" Giyuu asked, walking over and sitting next to sanemi on the other boys bed.

"Somethings different. Why were you acting so nice? Then you switch up.. then you were worried about me being in the bathroom to long.. then you're a bitch again.. choose a fucking feeling-!" Giyuu said, shaking sanemis shoulder harshly.

"As if I would tell you.."

"I'll tell you something about me."

The proposition was quite intriguing, considering that sanemi knew barely anything about giyuu.

"Fine. My brother used to cut himself in the bathroom, and so has my old best friend. I'm the one who found them. Every time." Sanemi said, looking at giyuu.

"Oh.. were they..?"

"Masachika died, he overdosed in the bathroom after cutting himself, genyas fine now though.." sanemi said, fiddling with his shirt while giyuu just nodded.

"Sorry for making you worry, I didn't intend to." Giyuu said, leaning back a bit, relaxing slightly.

"I guess it's my turn now.. uh- I really like salmon with daikon" giyuu said, smiling, receiving a glare from sanemi, but there was no anger behind it.

"I just poured one of my darkest secrets to you- tell me something deeper-" sanemi didn't get to finish when giyuu blurt out.

"I used to cut myself."

Oh.

Fascinating, huh?

"But you don't anymore- right?" Sanemi asked, quickly leaning closer to giyuu, trying to gauge his reaction.

"Not anymore." Giyuu said, holding back a smile.

"You're really worried, hm?" He said, also leaning closer to sanemi.

"Why would you care for a fag like me? Hm?" Giyuu asked, their faces almost touching, causing sanemi to quickly look away.

"I do not! Who do you take me for?!"
Sanemi muttered, hitting giyuu in the face with a pillow.

"Well, tell me something else about yourself, make it a little late night therapy session" giyuu smiled, holding the pillow in his lap.

"Uh- like.. trauma dump?"
