Chapter 10

"Your mom won't mind, right?" Yamaguchi asked as they got closer to Kei's house.

It was still daytime.

Yamaguchi was walking dangerously close to Kei, their hands were brushing against eachother and Kei had an urge to take it, but he wasn't sure if Yamaguchi was okay with it, after all, he did say that making out scared him a little bit, maybe....maybe he wasn't interested in that stuff.

They reached Kei's house and he unlocked the door, letting Yamaguchi in. To Kei's surprise and anger, Akiteru was back.

"Hey Kei!" he said and turned to them. His eyes widened at the sight of Yamaguchi.

Kei glared at him before taking Yamaguchi's hand and leading him to his room.

"What ever you do, don't get close to my brother" Kei said.

"O-okay!" Yamaguchi was quite scared, Kei just dragged him away from Akiteru. He did hear that Kei didn't like his brother, but he didn't think he was this dangerous.

While Kei went out to get snacks and drinks, Yamaguchi stayed in his room. It was so clean and nice. His closet, unlike Yamaguchi's, was filled with clothes of every color, there were a lot of books on his shelves, figurines and old toys. He saw a lot of drawing material on Kei's table. His bed was soft and comfy.

He was startled when he heard someone trying to open the door. Thank God, Yamaguchi locked it. Soon someone knocked on the door.

"Hey, are you in there Kei's friend?" a voice spoke.

Yamaguchi had an urge to open the door, but Kei told him not to. He didn't want Kei to be mad at him, he didn't want to see Kei mad again, so he stayed quiet till he heard someone walking away from the door.

A few minutes later Kei knocked on the door and Yamaguchi unlocked it.

Kei placed drinks and snacks on his table. It was getting dark outside.

They both sat down onto Kei's bed and started talking about random stuff, about school, about hobbies and stuff.

Yamaguchi got to learn about how much Kei likes history and especially the dinosaur era, Kei told him that he also loves drawing a lot. Yamaguchi found that very adorable for some reason. Recently, he started seeing Kei differently. While it was true that he wanted Kei to protect him.. He also wanted Kei to hug him, to play with his hair, to kiss his bruises and tell him how much.....

He..loves him...

Yamaguchi blushed at the realization. He turned his head to Kei, he was speaking about something, but Yamaguchi didn't care anymore.

How come he never noticed how amazing Kei looked?

Kei, however, focused on another thing. The bruise on Yamaguchi's neck. At first he thought that it couldn't be THAT, but it was. It was clearly from someone trying to choke him.

He lifted up his hand, brushing it lightly against Yamaguchi's neck.

"Please...tell me why.." he said.

"Wha--?" Yamaguchi was still confused, but when Kei looked at him, his eyes watery, Yamaguchi understood what Kei wanted.

"You saw the bruises...didn't you?" Yamaguchi asked. Kei nodded.

Next thing Kei saw was Yamaguchi unbuttoning his shirt. He took it off, revealing his pale damaged skin. Millions of bruises and cuts.

Kei had to cover his mouth. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"My parents are alcoholics" Yamaguchi started, gaining Kei's attention. "Everything was okay till the sixth grade. I started getting bullied at school. At first it was nothing, people would ignore me and call me names from time to time, but it got worse later on. They started pushing me around, taking my stuff, calling me names and spreading rumors about me. I couldn't take it anymore so in the 8th grade I attempted suicide for the first time. I tried overdozing on pills, but my mom got home early and called the ambulance. I didn't know why she did it. After all, she hates me. My parents started abusing me aswell. Stuff at school and home was hard, I started cutting and attempted suicide again. When I started attending high school, some of my old classmates once again spread rumors, so the bullying didn't stop. My parents were low on money, so they started selling stuff.... They.. They wanted to sell me. Well, not me, my body..."

Kei couldn't even blink.

"I-I saw you fight with your dad... What was that about?"

"I figured that you saw.. He wanted me to "please" someone and gain money from it. I refused" Yamaguchi explained.

Kei suddenly pulled him into a hug, holding him tightly.

"I won't let anybody do anything to you"
