Sugar Song and Bitter Steps (Kekkai Sensen: Steven Starphase X Reader)

Hey Haru Pt.2

Sirens. That's all I've been hearing this past couple of days. Oh dear, my headache has been getting worse since the slash on my face. I came home and quietly walked into the living room, hoping to not wake up Mom and Dad. But, they both sat in front of the TV, drinking booze together as if they had no regrets until they looked at me.

"Huh, well look's who back?" Dad said.

"Why, if it isn't our sweet little mistake?" Mom replied.

I wanted to leave so badly, but I didn't dare to, who knows what might happen to me? I shook out of fear and couldn't mutter a sound at all.

"Why won't you answer you annoying little brat?! Pay some respect to us!" Mom screamed as she threw the beer bottle at me, missing me, but the glass shattered around me. Yeah, they decided to drink tonight, didn't they? Well, whatever.

"We need to teach her some lessons anyway," Dad stated, and he walked into the kitchen, coming out with a small, but deadly knife and a small pan. For a minute, I thought that they would do cannibalism, but I'm pretty sure they're not that crazy to do that.....

Right?

"Oh honey, can you get me the lighter too?"

Never mind, I need to run. I dashed out of the house, both of my parents yelling "Get over here! You ***** ***** ****!" Yep, they called me with around 50 names that I will never repeat just because and boy, I know I'm about to get beaten up to a pulp, but they need to watch their profanity at 1 am in the morning.

Many plants that looked the same had passed me so many times, but I paid no attention to them that night and ran to Haru's as fast as I could.

______________________________________________

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

I knocked on his door as fast as I could, and Ryuichi opened the door.

"Oh (F/n), what happened? It's like 1 in the morning."

"Ryu-nii, please let me stay with Haru, please," I said desperately.

"Okay, come in."

I quietly entered the house, and Haru came out, looking very sleepy.

"What's wrong?"

"Can I just stay here for the night?" I asked.

Right, when he was about to answer, his mom and dad ran out of their room, looking frantic, and his sister was rushing out of her room, getting some weird-looking weapon of some sort.

"Ryuichi, please take care of the kids, we have a mission for Libra." Haru's mother stated.

"Lucky you! I want more sleep!!!!" Momoki yelled.

"Honey, be quiet! It's 1 in the morning!" Haru's father said, "And kids, we will be back, okay?"

"Yes, mom and dad," Ryu-nii and Haru both answered.

"Oh, and (Y/N)?" Haru's mother asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"Remember to call me Haruka and my husband Daichi, okay?"

"Yes ma'am," I said.

"Oh, that's at least a start," Haruka laughed before dashing out the door with Momoki and Daichi and disappearing into thin air within the next second.

Man, I want to know what kind of family this was now.

"Okay, (Y/n), where do you want to sleep?" Ryu-nii asked.

"Uh, I can sleep on the sofa-"

"NO!" Haru shouted, before Ryu giving a glare at him, "I meant no, I want (Y/n) to sleep in my room with me."

"Uh, that's if (Y/n) is okay with-"

"I am, Ryu-nii," I said.

"Okay, then, I'll go get an extra futon just for you."

And just like that, I was sleeping on the pinkest futon there could possibly be beside Haru's bed. With just 2 am showing on the clock, everyone said goodnight to each other. That was the best night of my life until something happened the next day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked home with Haru, only finding beer bottles shattered everywhere. The tv was dislocated, the kitchen look dismantled, and the pictures hanging on the walls were now piles of trash, just waiting to be thrown away. You could say a bomb exploded in the house.

"Wha-?"

Suddenly, we heard footsteps behind us, and when we turned, two police officers, one woman and man were looking at us.

"Who is the child of Mr. and Mrs. (L/N)?" The man commented with a booming voice.

"I am sir," I answered.

"We're police officers Janet and Carner, and we're sad to say, your parents had died in a drunk driving accident."

"R-really?"

"Yes, we're absolutely sorry. However, we'd like to ask you some questions."

"Um, may I stay here with her?" Haru piped in.

"Yes, of course," Janet answered.

So, ten minutes passed, and I spilled everything. The moment they started to abuse me and the last moment they attempted to. Then the police officers told me I had to stay at an orphanage. So, the police officers told Haru to go home. At first, he didn't want to and wanted to stay with me, then oh how so convenient of Haruka's hologram to appear on Haru's amazing watch.

"Haru! Come home and start packing, we have to leave straight away for California."

"Why?" Haru asked.

"Mission difficulties."

"But, (Y/n) needs our help!"

"It's okay," I smiled sadly, "I'll make it through."

"But-"

"She's in good hands," Officer Carner said.

He first walked away hesitantly and then started to run faster and faster.

That was the last time I ever saw him.

Hello my darlings~

Yes, I have revived from the dead as you can see. A little rusty on the edges if I do say so myself.

This is a short chapter, but literally Hey Haru Pt. 1 and 2 were just filler chapters and to give background knowledge on who he was, not just some creepy stalker. Hope you guys liked him though.

Probably gonna do a second male lead syndrome though lol.

If you guys don't know what that is, it's when there's basically a love triangle. Even though all the readers know who the main character is going to end up with, there's still some who ship the protagonist with the other male lead. ME AF IN A LOT OF STORIES I READ.

So, update:

I AM NOT GOING TO DELETE THIS STORY.

I legit was on edge with this story, but ya know what?

I should never give up on the things I like to do.

Okay, that's all for now~

I'll see y'all lovelies in another chapter,

BYEEEEEEE
