As you walked down the halls in the school building your mind is wandering off as usual. Walking next to you with your hand in his was none other than your childhood friend, Yuma. Well, holding hands was kind of embarrassing, but he had been insisting on that ever since the incident with Laito. Not that you personally minded too much, but some of the girls in school didn't seem to like it, judging from the looks you got when the two of you walked past. But, then again, what they thought was completely irrelevant and if it weren't for the slight fear they might actually try to hurt you, you couldn't have cared less.
Feeling your hand resting in his considerably larger one also brought back those weird thoughts you'd been having lately. What was this feeling? Was it really... love? Something so foreign, yet so close, you didn't really know how to react. It was pleasant, and it made you want to spend all your time with him, but on the other hand it was so scary. Opening yourself up and becoming vulnerable was probably one of the things that terrified you most. And still, despite that, there was this voice inside you that kept telling you that doing so was exactly what you longed for. Most of all, you wanted to have the courage to trust him, but no matter how hard you tried, you were still coward. You still locked away those emotions, plugged your ears, closed your eyes and pretended to be oblivious.
Suddenly, Yuma stopped in his track, snapping you out of your thoughts. Looking ahead, you saw Shuu sitting leaned against a wall with headphones in, most likely sleeping. Without warning, Yuma let go of your hand and approached the male. "You're in my way. Move!" he immediately snapped, sounding much more harsh than you were used to. You cautiously made your way up to him, stopping about half a metre behind him. "Hey, are you listening to me?!" Yuma then yelled while kicking the wall next to Shuu's head, making you take a small step back in fear. 'What's gotten into him? He doesn't usually act like this...' you thought as you continued observing the two males.
"You again?" was the only thing Shuu replied with, seeming bored as ever despite the intimidating aura Shuu was currently giving off. Quietly, you made your way beside Yuma before carefully grabbing his left hand with both of your hands. "Don't get into a fight. Let's just go, please?" you said quietly, as you looked at him with begging eyes, really not wanting there to be a conflict.
"You?" Shuu then said, seeming to notice your presence. "I noticed you were gone, Laito's being even more annoying than usual. Not that I would really care otherwise, but I'd rather see you came back and calmed him down" he stated, making you flinch slightly at how nonchalantly he could talk about it, seeing as he knew exactly how Laito treated you. "Hey, NEET. Stop blabbering and move!" Yuma then yelled as an answer, seeming even more annoyed with Shuu than before, as if something he said had ticked him off. "I was here first" Shuu simply stated as an answer before closing his eyes and preparing to go back to sleep.
"Huh? Did your brain rot from lack of movement? You think everything in this world was put here for you? This is why I hate aristocrats" Yuma then muttered loudly, and you tried tugging slightly at his sleeve to snap him out of it, but to no avail. "Come to think of it... You still probably consider her as yours, right?" he then stated as his gaze shifted from the male in front of him to you, and that particular gaze sent shivers down your spine. He then tugged harshly on your arm, pulling you toward him. He bent down to your level, and before biting down on your neck he whispered a quiet "sorry" in your ear.
You were in so much shock that you didn't even feel any pain, despite that you could tell that he was secretly trying to make it hurt as little as possible. Not being able to completely wrap your head around the situation, all you could bring yourself was stand there shaking with your hands resting on his chest. Soon after a quiet sigh could be heard, soon followed by footsteps walking off in another direction. "Pain in the ass" you could hear Shuu mutter from behind you, as he walked off to somewhere else. Only moments later Yuma pulled his fangs out of your neck, making sure he didn't hurt you further during the process.
"I'm sorry" you heard Yuma say in front of you, but still being in a state of shock you couldn't bring yourself to do anything in response. You only stood there, gaze landing on his chest as you stared dead ahead. Then, he suddenly crouched down so that you were both at the same eye level. "Just get it over with" he then muttered before closing his eyes, snapping you out of your trance. "Huh?" you replied confusedly, as you tilted your head to the side. He slowly opened his eyes again, as he stared into yours before talking again.
"Just hit me as payback. I don't want you to be mad, and even less for you to be scared of me, so just hit me once and we'll be even, right?" he then stated, as if that was the most obvious thing ever. You raised your hand ever so slightly and watched as he closed both his eyes tightly, preparing for impact. But, instead of hitting him you put your hand on his head, patting it while smiling brightly at him. This in turn earned you a confused look along with a blush from the male in front of you, which you only giggled at.
"It's okay. I'm not scared of you, and I really don't want to be mad at you. Besides, I wouldn't even dream of hurting you over something like that, so don't worry about it" you then said, still smiling kindly at him. You could've sworn you saw tears in the corners of his eyes before he wrapped his arms tightly around you in a hug. "Thank you... I'm so sorry" he whispered in your ear while still embracing you tightly. You hummed quietly as a response before wrapping your arms around his torso and hugging him back. The two of you stood like that for a long time, simply enjoying each other's embrace until Yuma seemed to recall something.
"We'd better get going, or you're gonna be late for class" he stated, pulling away from the hug to your dismay. Looking at the clock, you realized he was correct, however, so you simply grabbed his hand tightly and began walking down the halls toward your classroom, him quickly following.
Author's note! I'm sorry!!! I didn't update last week and this one is late, I promise I haven't forgotten about this story! It's just that school is really putting a lot of preasure on me right now. I promise it'll get better soon if you'll just hang in there for a little longer! Again, I'm sorry. That aside, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that you're looking forward to the next one! //Yours truly, Handsomesquid :3
