Ruki's Pov

I managed to stay clear of Reita for a whole week, I made up excuses so I didn't have to go to rehearsal. For the whole week I slept, cried, cut and stared of into space. Koron worried but I didn't pay mind. I knew by now that I should probably go to rehearsal as the tour is starting next week. I got myself out of bed and in the shower, I dressed in casual clothing and left my house.

I arrived at the studio 3 hours late, finding the rest of the band huddled around a table discussing the tour. Kai turned his head looking at me,

"Ruki, thought you wouldn't be coming."

"Well I am here"

"Right" he said, turning back to the others. I couldn't tell what he was thinking but my suspicions have now been confirmed all of them know about Reita and me however I don't know how much they know. I sat down in the empty seat which happens to be next to Reita I sat as far away as I could. Hours passed I slept most of them but any way the others were packing up all except Reita who was still seated.

"Takanori can I talk to you?"

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Even though you don't I do. Can you please here me out?"

"No" I left the studio, probably leaving him behind with a kicked puppy look on his face. I walked back to my house and fed Koron, when my phone rang. I was too far in thought and tired to even look at the caller so I answered it.

"Moshi mosh."

"How has your boyfriend been son? Or more so how hasn't he been?" I gasped. How did he know? Who told him?

"Now Takanori you are probably wondering how I know, well that is simple your mother told me. And receiving this information I found it disgusting but you were always disgusting Takanori I don't understand how your brother could stand you. It amazes me. You disgusting little freak. Did your boyfriend take my advice and break up with you or are you still together? Mm silence ne, I'll take that as a yes he did break it off with you. I guess he just never loved a disgusting little freak with loads of deformities." The tears fell, I held back my sobs so my father didn't know that his words got to me. I listened to the dial tone and hung up my phone. I sobbed for a long time.

I walked out of the house, letting my feet take me where ever. I ended up in front of Reita's house I suppose now I should probably hear him out. I knocked on the door. He opened it, I pushed passed him and sat on his couch.

"Did you know?"

"Know what?" he replied cocky.

"That my father knew." I could feel his eyes go wide.

"How?"

"Was he the reason?" I looked at Akira his head was down which I knew to be the truth.

I sighed. "So you lied." He nodded.

"Fuck Akira, why didn't you just tell me what was going on?"

"Because if I did he would have hurt you." He yelled. I stalled. Silence covered both of us.

"So you broke it off to protect me."

"Yes."

"You fucking idiot." I chuckled.

"Oi, why are laughing?"

"Because you are the biggest idiot I know, I don't care what my father does. All I care about is you"

"But I didn't want you to get hurt." I walked over to him and grabbed his hands.

"It won't come to that, I won't let it. I can handle my father. Please I love you and I don't want it to end just because my father doesn't like it."

"Taka" he whispers.

"It'll be okay" I reassure, I brought my lips to his in a sweet loving kiss, none of the rough biting, just a sweet kiss fall of love and lips. I break away.

"Koishiteru." He breathes.

"Koishiteru Aki."

Hours passed and we were cuddling on Akira's bed.

"Ne, Ruki"

"Nande?"

"Did you harm yourself?"

"Yes." he rubs my arm with his fingertips gently and sighs.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes"

"How?"

"By never leaving again." I point at him.

"Hai, I promise."

"Good." I nod, falling asleep in Aki's strong arms.

I woke up to noise from the kitchen, walking into the kitchen yawing. I rubbed my head and admired Akira making breakfast from afar. He plated it on the table, sitting down and ate.

After Akira finished dressing we went to mine and I showered, dressed and fed Koron before leaving to the studio. When we arrived we found the others sitting around a table talking with I can only guess a new manager. We sat in the empty seats and listened. "So the tour starts in just under a week, are you all ready?" I looked up at the new manager and gasped. "WHY ARE YOU HERE? DID HE SEND YOU?" I yelled, I knew that Akira knows what I am talking about.

"What? I'm here because I'm your new manager."

"Yes, I can see that but did he send you to check up on me?"

"Who?"

"Father"

"No, I haven't spoken to him in years." I relaxed at that.

"Oh, okay forget what I said"

"No. What happened? What did he do?"

"Nothing."

"It wasn't nothing" Reita piped up, I glared at him and he shrugged.

"Really?" Reita nodded. I punched his arm and he looked at me, I shook my head as in saying 'don't tell him'.

"Don't tell me what Takanori." Brother grunted.

"You see, Father found out about Reita and I being together. And threatened us so we broke up, but he doesn't know we are back together again now and we want to keep it that why considering you know what he is like with me." Reita took my hand halfway through talking and squeezed. Brother hung his head in shame.

"Yeah I do know, I really thought he changed. How did he found out?"

"Mother. And no I didn't tell her she must have found out when we were out in public or something." The others sat in silence and I know they are bursting out to ask questions about what my dad would do to me but I wasn't asking those questions not yet.

After my little outburst the rest of the meeting went well, brother asked if he could stay at mine and I nodded. He knew Reita was coming over tonight so he wasn't going to be in the way a lot. We arrived back at my house, feeding Koron.

 Before bed Brother said that he will help Reita and me with my father, after saying our good nights I walked into my bedroom to find Reita already asleep in my bed. After getting dressed for bed I got in and snuggled up close to him, subconsciously Reita put his arm around me and pulled me closer. I lifted my head to kiss his nose and his lips, laying on the pillow falling into the first dreamless sleep in days.
