In the Heart of an Excorcist

Alone again

As Rin woke up, he found himself once again sleeping in Yuu's lap. The man was reading some random book and ignoring Allen who was talking about something. Rin decided to ignore him too. Instead he sat up and climbed into Yuu's lap so he could look at the book.

"Hey Rin." Allen greated.

"Hi." Rin peered down at the book and quickly changed his mind. The book was full of hard words and numbers. Instead he decided to play with his bear. He snuggled deeper into the firm chest and breathed in Yuu's sent. He smelled good. Rin couldn't place most of the smells, but it was a warm and comforting smell.

Rin had not had many comforts before the man crashed through his wall. All he had was a bed and the pictures that would sometimes pop up in his head. Before he had left, Rin had never seen the things that where shown to him. He had seen strange shapes that he later realized where trees. He had seen scary monsters that were akuma. The akuma were a lot scaryier in person.

When Yuu had crashed through his wall, Rin's whole life changed. He wasn't alone anymore. People had sometimes come and visited him before but they usually poked him with pointy things and wore things on their hands and over their noses. They were mean and never talked. They would give him gross food. Yuu was different. He talked to Rin. He fed him good food and was always kind.

Rin gently laid his hands on Yuu's face. It was warm. Rin had never experienced warmth until he was saved by Yuu and his friends.

"Hey buddy." Yuu put his book down and turned his attention to the small boy in his lap. Rin liked when Yuu called him buddy.

"Hi." Rin ran his hands through Yuu's hair. It was soft and long and really pretty.

"What's up?" Rin laid his hands on the man's chest to feel his heart pumping. Another picture was popping up in his head and it scared him. Yuu was cold and not moving. Allen, Jonney, Lena, Mr. Koumi, and Uncle Tiedoll were crying. Rin was all alone again.

His lip started to tremble.

"What's wrong?" Yuu gently wrapped the boy in a hug.

"I'm scared."

"Why?"

"I don't want to be alone again." Rin started sobbing. He was so scared. His pictures always came true. Yuu was going to go away.

"You won't be alone."

"Liar!" Why was he saying that.

"Rin it's okay. Your safe with us now."

"Your going to leave me all alone!" Rin was going hysterical now. He pushed himself out of the man's warm arms and landed on the floor.

"Rin?" Yuu got up and reached for him. Rin ran out of the train compartment and ran down the hall. He could hear the man and Allen following so he ran faster. He was so scared. He didn't want to be alone again. If Yuu left, he would lose the person who had saved him. He would lose the only person who would hold him for hours and listen when he talked. He would lose the person who taught him how to read. The man who taught him what a bath and a tree was.

He stopped running and turned to see Yuu approaching him. The man knelt down in front of him and smiled gently.

"Hey it's going to be okay. I'm here right now and that is what matters most." He gently pulled Rin into a warm hug. Yuu was here now and Rin was going to hold on to him for as long as he could.
