Chapter 56: I love you means you're never ever ever getting rid of me~

Well the good thing was that I was finally put down.

The bad thing was that I was dropped from the height of that 180cm boy's shoulders straight onto my ass.

Well at least I had the cake to save my tailbone.

I sighed, rubbing my tush as I got off the floor and out of the way of the two's staredown.

Ayato now stood a good few metres away from the couch he had previously been seated on, fists that were clenched and ready to land a hit now poised by his waist. Ruki had managed to dodge the attack but dropped me in the proccess. 'just like the anime, huh? Annoying rivals.'

As I slowly got to my feet, a gentle hand guided me back into a chest. "Mou, Ruki-kun~ You should be more gentle with our little Kitty-kun~" I recognized that whiny, bitch-boy voice anywhere. Kou moved to rest his chin on my shoulders only to flinch back. I too barely managed to tilt my head and avoid the hit.

Subaru was now just centimeters in front of me, right fist having barely whizzed past my ear.

'If that hit me...my god...'

I felt the shock fade to a split second of relief then to anger. "YOU ALBINO DONKEY-BRAINED, ROSE HUFFING, BABY-BACK BITCH! YOU TRYNA KILL ME?!" I hollered unapologetically in his face. Still his eyes were trained om the blonde behind me. He reached a protective arm around me and grabbed me towards him, making me fall rather harshly against him. "O-oi...!"

I glanced up and sure enough, another staredown had begun. 'I swear these love rivals are gonna be the death of me. Well in this case its more just possesiveness than love.' (Sigh, if only you knew my darling protagonist, if only you knew...)

"Knock it off you-" my voice caught in my throat as the arm Subaru had clutched in his hand throbbed in pain. His grip on my bicep was too tight. I tried to shake it off but the hold only got more forcefull. I could almost hear my bones creak and bend.

'Agh, this....hurts...'

I was having trouble even breathing properly, the pressure was increasing and so was the pain. Reaching out my other hand, I clawed at his fingers but he hardly noticed. "You're hurting him," Kou said bluntly but I could barely hear now, the blood rushing to my head leaving a nasty churning sound in my ears as tears pricked at my eyes. "S-subaru-" I managed to gag out as my knees buckled. I was pratically dangling from one arm.

Though it seemed like this finally made him snap out of it. He released me like he'd touched a heated spike and I thumped to the floor.

I hissed as I rubbed the sore spot on my arm. It didn't feel like anything broke but if I'd been in that vice grip for any longer it very well might have snapped my arm in two.

"A-ace-" he stared at my keeled over form, looking back and forth between his hand and me.

I managed to look up for a second, just that split second. Yet I could tell he was shaking.

Lifting a leg, I went to stand up when the room changed before me. The familiar, plush sjeets of my bed surrounding me.

I sat up frantically only to be pulled back down, face buried into a yellow cardigan I recognized immediately. "Shu..." He softly grunted in reply. Still, I couldn't just lie here. "Wait, I have to-" I made a move to get up and get over to the two boys before they killed each other but a hand on my back kept me firmly in place.

"Shu-!" I whined but he spoke over me.

"Don't, they're in no state to see you," he mumbled into my hair. The words stung. It sucked but he was right, I couldn't do anything right now with Subaru and Ayato so heated. "Besides... I'm angry too." Shu spoke again but his words were clear now.

'why...?'

His hand moved from my back to my head, raising my chin to look at him in his piercing blue eyes. "I don't want you looking at those halfbloods. Watching you on that halfblood's shoulder made me want to throw up." The way he said his words were as though they were poison. A bitter taste on his tongue.

"You really are a lewd man, would you give your body to anyone?" A bubble of irritation rose in my chest.

"If you can't stay obediently by my side, do I have to mark you?" He leaned in closer, whispering his chilling offer in my ear. "Or lock you away?"

With that, that bubble of irritation burst, the fury of my annoyance flooding my stomach. I shoved a hand in his face and pushed him away.

"You really think I'll be yours just like that? What if I came to hate you?" I stared pointedly abt the boy.

"That doesn't matter, you already-"

"Don't finish that damn sentence you blonde bimbo!" I snarl, throwing a pillow at his beautiful face. "You think I'd draw the face of someone I hated? You think I'd let someone I hated sleep next to me? DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP!" Why was this making me so upset? I didn't get it but I couldn't stop.

"Now I'm going to correct your previous statements, 'Ace, what would it take for you to stay beside me?' right?" I cross my arms haughtily. "Well don't you worry about that!" I close the distance between us, knocking our foreheads together. I see him wince and I ignore the pain and inevitable bump on my forehead.

"You won't lose me like that German Shepard you found," considering that scene with Beatrice taking away Shu's newly found puppy was important enough to be shown in the anime, I hoped that I managed to pinpoint the source of this worry.

"You couldn't get rid of me if you tried!"
