Runaway blue

Chapter 6

《Now then, we're here
Let the world dissappear
We're drowning in lies
While the world around us dies.》
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Music was heard in the room, it's sweet melody making the darkness seem brighter while the grave mood lightened for a moment, before it abruptly stopped by a click, then a mufled groan took it's place.
A hand retreated inside the covers as the damned alarm brought it's owner to the harsh reality.
The person buried under the covers rolled around so he was facing the grey ceiling, before sighing heavily and messing his teal locks.

"This is going to be a hell of a day…" he muttured to himself, lazily getting up. He glanced at the demon portal, showing his horrible appearance.
His hair stuck out in different directions, his eyes were swollen and bruises and cuts covered his arms, where he wasn't bandaged.
He sighed once more before going to his enormeus closet, taking out his uniform and throwing it onto bed. Then he took off his black T-shirt, revealing a bruised chest, and  went inside the bathroom, where he showered and tamed his wild hair.
When he came out, about an hour later, with only his boxers on and a towel around his neck, his phone, which was brought yesterday along with his other stuff, was ringing and vibrating like crazy.

Drying his hair with the towel he answered it without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?"
"Tetsuya!" The voice on the other end of the line sounded relieved, but comanding still as it belonged to an Akashi, who couldn't straight forwardly show 'weakness'.
"Akashi-kun, ohayo." He greeted, throwing his towel on the bed and, holding the phone by his shoulder, started putting on his black pants.
"Tetsuya, how are you?" A brow was raised as he finished with his pants.
"I'm fine, Akashi-kun, but why do you ask?" He questioned, putting on a pair of socks and black shoes.
"Yesterday, you kind of left in a hurry… so, are you okay?" Of course. How could he forget the fact that his friends experienced that?
"I am. Please do not worry, Akashi-kun, and tell the others not to as well. Yesterday… I had to go help a friend of mine…" he told a half truth.

"Help? How does the police involve in that, Tetsuya?" The light blue haired boy took a deep breath, straightened up and held the phone with his hand.
"He's… the type to mess things up. He often get's involved with the police. That's why." He put the phone on speaker and put on his white button up T-shirt.
"Funny how you say that, it seemed as if you were running away to me."
.
" After  him  !"
.
"I do reckless things when it comes to this person." A hum was heard on the other side.
"It must be an important person then…"
It was an innocent statement, one that usually would make people smile and nod gently. But to him… it made him want to vomit.
His father was anything but an important person.
So he chose to remain silent for a bit.
"…What would you think, Akashi-kun?" Tetsuya could almost imagine the red-head shaking his head with a smile on his face at the moment as a chuckle was heard from the other side.
"Well then… it's getting late, you should be going to school now. I'll leave you to finish your routine. Let's meet up some other time, Tetsuya."
"Hai. Forgive me for ruining our renunion yesterday, Akashi-kun." He fell silent as a hum echoed in his ears followed by a click, signaling that the call was over.

His teal bangs hid his beautiful eyes of the same color as he clenched his fist hard and bit his lip in order not to break down from the call. From this whole ordeal. From his father. From his betrayal.
From everything…

Heavy breaths filled the room as the fragile teen held back tears and clasped his hand over his chest, where his heart was.
In those moments, all he wanted was to be able to take it out of it's place and crush it between his fingers.
But he couldn't…
He had to pretend perfect.

And he would.

It didn't matter if he was dying inside as long as everyone around him bought his act.

A prince was not suppossed to let others comfort him, as it was the opposite.

He'd cover up bruises and mend broken bones as long as it ment his country was safe.

He'd crawl on dirt as long as his loved one's were happy.

He'd be the shadow…

So they could see light...

Here's the chapter. Short but it jad to be.
And uh, please tell me if you want sneak peeks or not.
Enjoy!
