Flower boy

We keep meeting

Karma's p.o.v.
I gawk at the strawberry-blonde that just walked out of the back room of the shop with a medical box. He mimicked my expression perfectly as he handed my mom the box and she started to clean me up. Seeing our expressions my mother paused in her cleaning and decided to introduce us "I... I, um... Well, Karma this is Gakushuu the boy who helped me out with the shop while you were gone... Gakushuu, this is my son Karma" she said finishing up my leg.

"We know" we say at the same time "you 2 are acquainted?" She asked a bit confused, but cleaning up my face "We keep meeting" we say in sync again. My mom's eyes widened, but she nodded only to have her eyes widen again when she got to my arm "Karma, dear, this is going to need stitches, what were you doing to get this busted up?" She asked as I felt both their eyes on me. I don't like being the center of attention, and well, I never am so this made me feel a bit uncomfortable. "I, um... I got hitbyacar" I mumble under my breath, turning away "What?" "Come again?" They ask as I hop off of the stool and start walking away.

"I... Got hit by a car.." I say as I hear them both gasp and my mother start crying as Gakushuu stands there in shock, paralyzed. "Honey, what were you doing to get hit... Hit by a car?" She asked chocked up, I rubbed my arm, the one that wasn't badly damaged. "I was running to get here, mom, you know how busy our Wednesdays are, I couldn't let you handle all of that by yourself, me getting into trouble shouldn't damage that, but I see you already had the help" I said as I gave a sideways smile to Gakushuu who was watching my every move.

I sigh and bit my lip while pulling out my wallet "So... How much do we owe you? You know, for your services? A hundred? Two hundred? Do you charge by the hour?" I ask as his eyes widened and he shook his head "No! No, I don-" I cut him off again. My swollen eye was irritating me enough "What? Do you not accept checks? Do you need it in cash, because I have to give you a raincheck on that, b-but I-i swear w-we'll have i-it, w-we just n-need a little t-time" I feel a panic attack start as my mom grabs my arm. Gakushuu looks a little concerned, and reaches into his pocket as my mom full on panics.

"P-please, i-i'll do anything j-just don't hurt m-my son" my mother starts as Gakushuu's eyes widen in surprise and concern. "N-no, I... I wasn't going to do anything like that, I was just pulling out my phone to call my dad to send a driver to pick me up, I don't want any money actually" he said as my mom and I look at him in suspicion. This can't possibly be a thing, anyone who does anything obviously wants something in return for the job they did. Unless, Gakushuu... Wasn't like anyone else? No.. don't fool yourself.

These... These thoughts are just lies you're telling yourself to keep yourself sane and safe. He's not different, he's just like the others. He's not handsome, he's just like the others. He's not smart.. he's... He's not funny.... Just like.... He's not caring... The others. I frowned as he scanned us like we were below him, like we deserved pity, his sympathy. I didn't like how it sent butterflies to my stomach, I didn't like how it made me have hope, how it made me wants to tell him all of my problems, how it made me want to kiss him senseless.

There were a lot of things about Gakushuu I didn't like, but it also made me want them along with the rest of him so much more, much more than considered natural.
Yet I had to keep the act, he probably didn't even want me like that, he probably didn't even want me, he probably wasn't even like that to me or in general. Yet I still couldn't help but love him that way, even if I know he won't love me back the same way I do to him.

I hesitantly walk forward "You... You don't want any money? Why don't.... Oh... Ummmm, I don't?-" I cut myself off as I look at my mother, she looks so sad that I had to do this if I had to, I know she would rather offer herself up if it wasn't for her age. "You... You do sexual favors, don't you?" I ask as his whole face turns red and he's a mess shaking his head "No! I mean N-no! I don't want money or sexual favors!! I just meant that any good person would do this!!" He exclaimed, getting redder with every word.

My mom and I looked at each other before our eyes widened knowing we just blurted out some of our situation to a total stranger. "Well I think it's getting kind of late, I think little children should head to bed, Gakushuu was it? You can call your father from in here and just yell when you're leaving so I can lock up, yeah? Yeah, come on Karma!" My mother exclaims pushing towards the door to the back room.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Gakushuu look at us with a look of concern and confusion, to my mother sympathy and hope, but to me. I see him give me a look of longing and another emotion I can't place, another expression that I can't explain, but can't help but want. Of course, that was after I was pushed into the room with my mom slamming the door shut. "I think that went well" "Mom!"

Aww, my poor Lil bab just wants his Shuu's love. What does Gakushuu think of Karma now? And Karma and his mother's situation that he's slowly piecing together? Find out next chapter!
