Turned His Life Around COMPLETED

Chapter 6: What did they say?

Ryuji went through the doors of the temple and Rin barely awake. It wasn't weird for him to be so tired, his flames drained him a lot, they would probably drain him less if he traits and used them more but he refused to. Ryuji brought him to his bed and laid him down as his mom can't in. "Bon is-" "Shhh." He quickly shushed her and she replied: "Oh, sorry, I'll come back later." Ryuki nodded at the response as she closed the door behind her. Ryuji was about to leave himself when Rin grabbed his t-shirt, "stay." He told him before he was asleep completely and his hand fell to the side of the bed. Ryuji smiled and nodded before climbing on the bed himself and putting Rin's head on his lap and played with his hair.

Ryuji couldn't help but think during that moment before slipping into a seamless sleep. "What did they say?"

Rin woke up to see he was in a familiar place that wasn't his house and soon realized that it was Ryuji's temple. Rin sat up to looked around and soon his eyes widened when he realized where his head was when he was sleeping. He started to scoot back backwards until he fell off the bed. He based him her on the way on the bed as he landed on his butt. "Ow!" He let out a pained noise rather loudly which was loud enough t wald up Ryuji.

"Wh... What was that?" He yawned between his words as Rin got up rubbing his head which was throbbing in pain. Rin squinted his eyes to focus as he sat up and Ryuji looked around taking a minute to register what was going on.

"Rin, are you alright?" He asked in a worried tone. Ryuji was always worried about him never wanting the younger to be hurt and with his self-esteem issues. Rin couldn't help but notice the older had been more worried about him and having an odd feeling around him, almost warm and fuzzy. Rin was scared in case it's what he thinks it is because he doesn't want to ruin their friendship.

"Earth to Rin!" Rin snapped out his thoughts as he heard Ryuji calling him. "Huh? What?" Rin replied a little startled. "You zones out, are you okay?" Ryuji asked. "Yeah I'm fine, sorry, just fell in the bed," Rin answered as he rubbed the back of his head remembering the events of yesterday. He looked down at his feet sadly. Ryuji obviously noticed this. "Hey, don't worry about yesterday, I don't know what they said that made you that angry but don't worry about it okay." Ryuji put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Rin they suddenly looked at his chest realising how toned it was, 'I never realized how to med his body is,' Rin thought but was embarrassed when Ryuji asked what he said realising he'd said it aloud. "I said let's go get breakfast! Yeah!" Rin panic!ed and quickly stood up and rushed out the room as fast as he could.

"He's so weird sometimes," Ryuji said to himself as he walked out his room and greeted his mom good morning as well as Rin doing to same. "Morning boys." She smiled as she flipped some pancakes. "Smells good," Rin complemented, Ryuji nodded at the words.

"Pancakes almost ready!" She called through to the dining room from the kitchen. Rin got up and headed to the kitchen handing Torako some plates. "Thank you, Rin," Torako thanked in a voice that told her son: 'why can't you be more like that.' "I am very helpful," Ryuji replied in an annoyed tone understanding the message in his mother's voice.

Ryuji next entered the kitchen and grabbed two glasses and orange juice and poured it into them. "Mom we're out of orange juice," Ryuji informed. "I'll get some later but go sit down the pancakes are ready." She followed the two boys and placed their played down which had two pancakes each. She went back t the kitchen for a moment grabbing the syrup and whip cream. "Thanks." They both thanked and dug in.

As they are pancakes silence had overtaken the room and Ryuji decided to break with a question that lingered in the air. "What are you going to do about your father and Yukio?" Rin paired for a moment before replying. "I-I don't know..." He was unsure so much had happened on that day good and bad things. "They saw me flare up and I don't know if they want anymore." Ryuji's face softened at this and he got up and went over to him and scoffed before talking. "They stuck with you for 14 years and they knew so I think you got that part covered," Ryuji told him as they hugged. They went apart and the two went back to charting happily.

At the monastery

It had been a few days since the incident that had fallen place at the end of the concert. Shiro and Yukio were sitting at the table discussing the events. "This is stressing me out!" Yukio complained. "I know, me too but wasn't that kid one of your students?" Shiro asked. "Yes, Suguro Ryuji, a first-year in training," Yukio answered. "They must have met when Rin ran away and they must have told him," Yukio said. "No that's not possible, he basically  said he found out himself." Shiro corrected him.

"Sir," Izumi came through holding the parish phone. "It's Rin," Shiro rushed to the phone faster than you can say 'banana'. Shiro was handed the phone and spoke into it. "Rin," Shiro said happily and worriedly. "Haney," Rin stuttered, Shiro could hear the anxiety in his voice. "Rin, I'm sorry if we said something to upset you." Shiro apologized eyeing Yukio with anger in his eyes. "It's o-okay..." Rin continued to stutter in his words. "It was Y-Yukio who said t-the thi-ngs to upset m-me." A short conversation went on with Rin telling Shiro to write down when and where they could meet to talk. They would meet on Monday, three days.

Shiro put the phone down and looked over to a very looking guilty Yukio. "I'm sure he'll forgive you, you're his brother after all." Yukio looked up at him a nodded unsure but hopeful.

Now all they had to do was wait for three days.
