Rejected? (BxB)

A Mate

Titan Above ^^^^ Aww, ain't he cute ^~^

______________________________________________

Its been a week, and I still refused to go to school. I hardly slept, and I didn't eat. I stayed in my room, night and day, staring at my ceiling and crying. I hadn't even taken a shower. I kept replaying what I had said to Titan when we were younger. Over and over. It was like a song on repeat, and I couldn't stop it.

******(Flashback)******

"Hey, Kai!" I heard Titan yell from across the park. I winced as the guys laughed at him stumbling over his feet while he ran to me. "Hey." He said, panting heavily. "Hi." I said rudely. Titan looked confused, but then he saw the snickering bunch of guys behind me.

"Titan, we need to talk." I said, grabbing his wrist and leading him away. We sat on a small bench across the park. "Kai, what's wrong?" He asked, his voice trembling. But my stupid thirteen year old self couldn't tell. "You know that thing you told me last week?" I asked, causing him to nod slowly.

"The guys said I can't be friends with people like that. Its not cool." I said. I watched as Titan sucked in a breath and looked up, trying not to cry. Titan was gay, he had came out to me last week. "So, we a-aren't f-friends anym-more?" He asked, not looking at me.

"I can't be your friend if you're gay, Tin." I said, using his nickname. "You hate me for being me." He whispered, almost too quiet for me to hear. "I don't hate you, I just can't talk to you anymore." I said, before standing up and walking back to my clique.

******(End)******

I cried again as I remembered what I said to him. I kicked him out of my life that day, I told him he wasn't good enough to be friends with me. I felt so weak, and I hated it. I heard a quiet sob from outside my door, and I knew it was Dad. I felt so awful by doing this so him. I had shut him out, I had shut everyone out. But I knew he was taking it the worst.

"I'm sorry." I cried, standing up and punching the wall. "I'm sorry, Dad." I cried, punching again, hard. "I'm sorry, Titan!" I screamed, punching the wall, leaving a whole. I fell to the floor, crying loudly. I didn't care who hears. I decided then, I had to go back to school, I had to see him and apologize.

It was the next day and I was staring at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a worn out hoodie and ripped baggy jeans. My hair was sticking in every direction, my eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. I felt so beat up, but I forced myself to walk out of my room and down into the kitchen.

Everyone was already in the kitchen, chatting away. When they saw me, they all looked shocked to see me out of my room. I looked at Dad, who looked like he'd hardly slept. "I'm sorry, Dad." I whispered before turning to Father, who also looked distraught. "I'm sorry, Father." I said. He shook his head and stood up.

"Do not apologize, Kai. You did nothing wrong." He said as he stood in front of me. He was only a couple inches taller than me, so I had to look up at him. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me to his chest. He gave me a quick hug, saying, "We love you, son." I nodded, scared my voice would betray me.

I walked out the door ten minutes earlier than my siblings. I walked to school slowly, terrified of what lies ahead.

I made it to school just as the bell rang. I trudged to my first class, which seemed to last forever. I didn't pay much attention, but kept picturing Lunch. I had Lunch with Titan, and I wanted to talk to him.

My other classes leading up to lunch went by just as slow as the first. Then the bell rang. I scurried out of class, almost immediately locating Titan's scent. He smelled like fresh rain and blueberries. I leaned against the lockers as his scent got closer and closed. I shut my eyes, waiting until Titan rounded the corner. I could hear his footsteps pause.

I peaked one eyes open slightly and watched as he tried to sneak by unnoticed. Then he tripped. Titan had always been clumsy, and, personally, I think its cute. I watched as he sat on his knees, hurriedly picking up his books. His pale face was flushed and he bit on his lip piercings nervously. His sweater started to slide up and I saw something that no one ever wants to see on their mate.

I growled, my eyes glues to his lower back and hip. He looked up, realized what was happening, then yanked his sweater back down. He scooted away, as I stalked towards him. I growled, my wolf taking over as he kept trying to get away from me. "Stop moving." I said sternly, causing him to flinch, but remain in his current spot. I pulled him off the ground and grabbed his wrist the way I had many years ago; except this time, sparks flew through my hand and flowed through my body.

I walked him to the bathroom, closing the door and locking it behind me. I rested my head against the door, trying to calm my wolf down. When I was calm, I turned around and saw Titan staring at me while crouching under the sink in fear. "I didn't meant to scare you." I said softly, trying not to frighten him. He looked even more fragile than Dad did. Shorter than him too.

"Come here." I said gently. He didn't move. "Come here." I said more sternly, causing him to scramble to his feet in front of me. He hung his head in submission. "Take off your shirt." I said, and he tore his shirt off. His arms, chest, back, and sides were covered in big, purple bruises. Along with many cuts. "Is this all?" I asked. "Why do you care?" He retorted, looking up. He was crying, black streaks from his eyeliner coating his round, pale cheeks.

"Because, even though you rejected me, you're still my mate. My first priority is to care and worry about you. Now, are there any more?" I asked again. He opened his mouth, then closed it, nodding instead. "Where?" I asked. He stared at his legs. "Take your pants off." I said. "But-" He began, but I cut him off by saying, "Take off your pants, please." He sighed, deciding not to argue.

Titan took him time while unbuckling his belt, undoing the button, and pulling down the zipper. He then dropped his pants and kicked them off. He now stood only in his tight boxer briefs that matched his hair color. But I was more focused on his legs. They were covered in the same bruises, but his thighs covered in more. Many long slits covered his thighs, obviously self conflicted.

I stifled a cry at the sight of his self harm marks, but I couldn't help but to feel like he did this because of me. Almost every slash was new. "Who did this to you?" I asked. "M-My dad." He said, and I could tell he was crying. He kept his head down as he put his clothes back on. I walked to the opposite wall and screamed, punching it. I was crying while punching the wall, my knuckles beginning to bleed and throb.

I fell to the floor in a heap crying, wishing I could take back everything I'd ever said to Titan. "Kai." I heard him say cautiously. "I'm sorry." I answered. "Sorry?" He asked. "I gave up on you. I could've protected you, been there for you. But I was too absorbed in the popularity." I said, smacking away my tears.

I heard Titan sob behind me. "I o-only rejected y-you so you w-wouldn't reject m-me." He stuttered, resting his head in his hands. I stood up and walked to where he sat on the floor. I sat in front of him before picking him up and setting him on my lap. He cried in my chest, gripping my hoodie. I stroked his hair, letting him cry into my chest.

"Please," He whispered. "Don't leave me. Don't make me go back there." He said, looking in my eyes. "Never." I said, hugging him tightly. I stood up, taking him with me. His legs were wrapped around my waist and his arms around my neck. I carried him out of school and to my house. I walked him straight to my room and laid him down in my bed. He mumbled in his sleep and I smiled. I had my mate, he was mine.

And he always will be.
