"Kimoto?" The small girl questioned, her (h/l) hair blowing gently in the breeze. She admired her brother. He was tall for a twelve-year-old, standing at five foot six. He had curly, blonde hair that shaped a sort of triangle on his head. He wasn't the most handsome of boys, but (y/n) loved him regardless.
"What is it, (y/n)?" He didn't look up from his hands, still fumbling with the stems of the poppies that rested on the tips of his gentle fingers.
"I want to play volleyball when I'm older," she turned to face him, the light of the sun shining gently through her cracked eyelids. She opened her lips to reveal a sweet, toothy smile. "I want to play volleyball just like you!" The boy froze. He smiled gently, closing his eyes, and placing the crown of flowers atop (y/n)'s head.
"I'd love if I would play volleyball, (y/n)," he smiled sweetly, insincerely. "I could teach you sometime."
"Really!?" Her eyes glowed in excitement.
"Sure."

"You brrrat," he growled through closed teeth. Who knew someone so nice....could make you hurt so much?
"I, I just," she curled up into a ball against the wall, crying warm tears. "I just thought you-thought you were th-throwing a party. I-I never meant to-"
"Shut uuup," he threw another bottle at the small girl. "I told'you to stay upppstairs."
"Kimoto, you really shouldn't do this. You've gone too far," a girl placed a hand on Kimoto's shoulder.
"Shhutt up! I don' wanna hearr it," he wobbled around on his toes, barely managing to stay standing. "Go upstaiirs, nOww!"

I picked up the pace, my steps getting heavier and heavier. Not today. I thought it was over. I thought I would never have to see that monster again. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as the feeling of someone watching me grew greater. Please no. A hand has placed on my shoulder and my heart stopped.
"NO!" I jolted myself away, turning around and breathing heavily. "Get away!" I shut my eyes tightly, holding my backpack in front of me for support.
"(Y/n), calm down!" I know that voice. It isn't Kimoto.....
I opened my eyes slowly, turning my head up slightly. "Tsukki?" That was all I could mutter out before I lunged for him and buried my face in his chest. I didn't have feelings towards the boy, but it was good to know it wasn't Kimoto. Tears stained my cheeks and his shirt before he placed an arm around my trembling body.
"(Y/n), what the heck happened and why are you crying?"
"I, I thought that," sniff "that Kimoto and and I, I don't know and he- he just and the-"
"Ok, ok. Just calm down. Well go back your house if you don't want to walk alone. Where do you live?"
"Tsukishima?" I loosened my grip on his shirt. "Why did you follow me?"
"You left in a hurry, I just wanted to see if you were ok."
"Ok," I cursed myself quietly.
Wait...
"The text!" I pulled away from Tsukishima, quickly pulling my phone from my bag with shaking hands. It was still there. In dark words, it read: don't act like you don't know who I am, you know what you did. I turned the phone around and quickly shoved it into the boy's face.
"What the heck is-" he stopped, reading the message silently to himself. "Who sent you this?"
"Um....." I hesitantly pulled my arm back, but Tsukishima grasped my wrist. Not too tight, but possessive. "My brother..." he sighed.
"Do you know where he is?"
"No," I began to cry again. "I'm sorry, I can't even help myself. I'm pretty useless, huh?" I smiled at him, tears rolling mercilessly down my face and to my chin.
"You aren't useless," he let go of my wrist, turning away. "If it's not safe to go to your house, you can stay with me. I followed like a duckling to its mother. I just left Asahi's house and now I'm staying with Tsukki. I must be annoying. A bother. Hm. I guess what Kimoto told me was....right.
